Sorry this took so long to get out. Chapter 3 should be out soon (I hope).

Thanks to:

For the reviews and favorites.

For my friend who did Star Wars Fanfiction with me years (and years and years) ago. Thanks for not being surprised when I said "I have writers block" but was surprised when I said "And it's not Star Wars so you have to start watching NCIS LA!"

Again I don't own. I do this for fun. We're broke so don't sue (Unless you want to pay for my kids college fund!).

"No!" She struggled with him. He grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall. She kicked him and he cursed. She still struggled and he slapped her face. She could see someone in the corner of her eye. She took her keys and hit him in the chest. He bent over and she kicked him away from her. She leaned up against the wall and tried to catch her breath.
"Federal Agents! Hands up NOW!" Sam yelled at him.
"Agents?" She said looking at Sam and then saw G.
"Sarah" Callen ran to her.
"Wait. Your Sarah?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" He said "Are you okay?" He asked she grabbed his arm.

"Yeah." Her head was spinning and she was shaking.
She heard his friend yelling at the robber about picking on someone his own size.
"G. Is she okay?" Sam asked.

"I think so."
"I never...did get your name" she said feeling her knees begin the buckle.
"Callen"
She smiled "Callen" and then passed out in his arms.
"Son of a-"

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself on a gurney.
"Sir. She's waking up" The paramedic said.
"You okay?" Callen asked her
"What happened?"
"You fainted."
"Ma'am you do remember what happened before that?" The policeman asked.

"I was walking to my car. Someone tried to steal my purse. I fought him and" She looked at Callen "You're federal agent?" She asked him.

"Yeah."

"Do you recognize this person?" Sam asked showing her a picture.

"Yes that's him." She sat up.

"There she identified him" He said to the officer.

"We need her statement"

"You'll get that tomorrow" G. argued.

"We need the statement tonight. We don't want her to forget anything"

"I won't forget this believe me." She said as Sam helped her stand up.

"We're the witnesses you will get it tomorrow." G argued.

"I'll call Deeks" Sam walked away.

"Callen, it's okay" She touched his arm.

"I think you should listen to your girlfriend" The officer said.

"What about my purse?" she asked.

"You'll get that in a couple of weeks. It's evidence"

"So what happens if I get pulled over by the LAPD? Will they take that as an excuse?"

"Ma'am" She could tell that the three of them were getting on his last nerve. "It's policy."

"Here" Sam handed the officer his phone.

"What's this?"

"Marty Deeks LAPD liaison for us. Talk to him" The officer took the phone and walked away.

Sam looked at her watching Callen who was talking to the paramedic. There was hope for them yet.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine. He looks worried"

"You scared the crap out of him when you fainted. He doesn't scare easily."

"Okay fine." The officer said walking back glaring at Sam. "Wallet, phone, and keys."

"Thank you."

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"I got this. You take care of her" Sam told G.

"You're going to get in trouble"

He checked his watch. Going on two hours late. "I'm blaming you."

"You always do"

"You bring her over for dinner and I'm pretty sure you'll be forgiven"

Sam gave Sarah her phone and wallet. "Don't scare us like that again" Sam smiled at her.
"I won't and thanks"

"Hey you kicked his ass we just arrested him."

"I'll walk you to your car."

They walked past the police car and she looked at the guy sitting in the backseat.

He saw the look on her face "Sarah?"

"I'm okay. I just don't think I'll be walking alone at night for a long time"

"He cannot hurt you anymore." He held her hand.

"I know."

His phone rang "I have to get this hang on."
"Yes Eric "

He took a couple of steps away from her. She could tell by the way he looked back at her that there was something wrong. 'Please don't have him find out' She prayed.

"Okay keep me updated" he said.

"Everything okay?" She asked.
"We ran a background check on this guy."
"I can't go home can I?"
"I don't think you should and I really don't think you should be alone"
"Okay. I'll figure something out."
"I know a place"
"really?"
"I promise I'll be a perfect gentleman"

"okay"

"Whoa" he caught her before her legs gave out on her again.

"Okay that does it." He picked her up and carried her.

"I can walk." she protested.

"No you can't."

"Callen."

"When was the last time someone rescued you?" He asked her.

The question took her off guard."What?"

"When was the last time someone rescued you?" He asked her again.

She thought about it. "It's been a long time."

"Let me rescue you...even if you did kick his ass."

She rested her head on his shoulder. "If this happens when I give you my phone number. What's going to happen if we go on a date?" She asked.

"Don't know. Do you want to find out tomorrow?"

"Sure."

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

He unlocked the door to the boatshed and she walked in.

"Do you live here?" she asked.

He went over to the refrigerator and got out a couple of beers. "No"

"Work stuff?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks," She took the beer.

They sat at the table and talked about what happened. He wrote down some notes for her statement.

She got up to throw the bottle away. She walked up to him "I never did thank you."

"For what?"

"For rescuing me." She kissed him on the cheek. She looked at him and wondered if he felt the same spark that she just felt. He kissed her and felt her body slowly melt as the kiss deepened. His arms wrapped around her waist pulling her closer. He heard a soft moan come from her as she put her arm around his neck. His hand slid down to her hip and his phone started ringing.
He groaned and broke off the kiss. "I can toss that out the window if you want me to." He whispered in her ear.
She bit her bottom lip. "It's very tempting. But you should get it" She forced herself to tell him.

He slowly let her go and grabbed his phone. "Yes Eric" He went outside.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"So what is going on with Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked walking into the ops room.

"We witnessed a woman's purse being stolen last night." Sam said looking at the information.

"Okay."

"He called and asked me to do a background check and I found this." Eric pulled reports and medical records.

"Jessica was the latest one. Happened last week. I just got a call that died this morning,"

"What is this woman's name?"

"Her name is Sarah Jane Burgess. She teaches music at the local college"

"Where is she now?" Hetty asked.

"Callen has her at the boat house" Eric said.

"Mr Hanna. You and I are going to the boat house together and if ANYONE calls to tell Mr. Callen that we are on the way you will be suspended for a week!" She walked out of the room.

"What was that about?" Kensi asked.

"I don't know." Deeks said.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

She woke up to her phone ringing. It took her a couple of seconds to figure out where she was. She got up and grabbed her phone off the counter. "Hello?" She tried to sound awake.
"Sar? Are you okay?" Her assistant asked.
"I'm fine" She looked at the time and realized that she forgot to call her. "I'm going to take a couple of days off before the craziness starts" She smiled when she saw G walk in.
"Just treat them like your kids. Use your Mom voice. Hell that scares me half the time. You'll be fine and I should be back on Monday okay? Bye"

He handed her a cup of coffee "Morning"
"Morning."

"My 'unofficial' assistant. She's one of my students and does this to keep her sane. This is the first time I'm leaving her in charge."

"I emailed your statement to LAPD."

"Have you been up all night?"

"I don't sleep much."

"What's wrong?"

"He's fighting the charges and has a lawyer. He'll be stopping by this afternoon to talk to you."

"okay."

"It also seems that he maybe able to get out depending on if the judge grants him bail. I'm sorry Sarah. We'll get this worked out I promise"

"Hey it's okay. We'll just have to figure out where I will need to go"

"To a safe house" a voice said.

He looked to see Hetty and Sam in the doorway. "Hetty."

She looked at them together. "Perhaps you should introduce us." she walked in.

"Sarah-"

"Not you Mr. Callen. I was talking to Miss Burgess."

"G. Callen...this is Hetty Lange. My Godmother."
