I do not own NICS LA

The Lies

CH. 6

It has been a month after that night with Nell.

I can still remember the way her body felt; that night when we left the club to meet the team, and once we gave Sam the flash drive we went to a hotel to keep appearances. When we go a room we got some beer and sat around.

After going through two packs of beer I started to feel the effect of the alcohol. I could tell that Nell was feeling the same thing.

"Why me?"

I had turned to her when she said that.

"Why what Nell?" I asked.

"Why is it when I meet a guy, that in the end they just want to use me for something?" She laughed, it was hollow sounding. "I'm the biggest idiot in the world to think that a guy would actually like me. I mean I'm not pretty, sexy, or dangerous like Kensi."

When she opened her mouth to say something else I could not help but kiss her. When we pulled a part I put my hands on either side of her face.

"You listen to me Nell, you are all those things and smart as hell." I said earnestly.

We stared at each other. The next thing I know we started taking each other's clothing off.

I shook the memory out of my head as my phone went off in my pocket. I took it out and saw that it was Eric.

"Hey Eric what is it?"

"Callen I got bad news John is loose."

My eyes widened.

"What do you mean he got loose?!"

I listened as Eric fumbled with his words but I cut him off before could say a full word.

"I'll be there."

I closed my phone and headed to ops.

Once I got there is saw Sam, Eric, and Hetty all looking at the big screen; what I saw makes my heart stop.
