The replacement.

Chapter 3

At the sound of screeching tires Callen looked up towards the road and then caught Sam who had just turned from talking with another officer lean against the brick wall looking down the street. Callen smirked to himself standing up and walked to join Sam leaning casually against the wall as a very nice black car screeched to a stop in front of them.

Callen couldn't help but grin when a smirking Kensi stepped out of the car and they exchanged a smile over the top of the car. Sam laughed as a ghost, white special agent stumbled out of the car his hand on his stomach. Kensi rolled her eyes as she came to a stop on the sidewalk as she watched Fields catch his breath.

"You...are..so...completely...insane!" The man managed to get out breathing hard,

"I think I'm going to..." With that he stumbled sideways behind a tree and they could hear the sound of their newest addition throwing up his breakfast,

"Charming."

"Come on it wasn't that bad" Callen and Sam took one glance at the green looking man before they walked inside after Kensi. Looking back Callen watched Agent Fields eyes follow the woman who had nearly killed him on the way over...in his own car and felt a twinge. Something was off.

"So what do you think?" Sam asked and Callen shrugged as they watched their new agent talking to Kensi.

"Don't know if he's making a good first impression on Kens" Replied Callen as they watched Kensi say something back to Scott an annoyed frown painted on her face. The two men walked towards the pair still bickering,

"You guys found anything?" Callen asked and Kensi turned to him angrily meeting his eyes,

"I am not working with him" She pointed at the man across from her with the evidence kit,

"Look I have worked crime scenes Kensi I can do this and I scored top of my class on evidence collection and forensics...and besides your specialty is undercover!" Kensi looked at him incredulously for a moment and then turned to Callen and Sam in disbelief before spinning back to face him,

"Okay one you're the junior junior agent so don't order me around or pay me out in front of other cops especially the LAPD and secondly this is not an exam on paper this is real life stop trying to take over and work with me okay!" And with that Kensi turned on her heel and walked away from the three men back towards the house.

When Fields turned to look at the two men they simply raised their eyebrows at him,

"Agent Fields I would suggest that you listen to Agent Blye she knows what she's doing I also suggest that you observe on how to be a good partner and have her back at all times as she will yours understand?"

"Yes Sir..I mean..Boss?...Agent Callen?" Callen just raised his eyebrows even further at the man in front of him before Fields wordlessly turned and scurried away disappearing back into the house. By the time the agent was gone Sam was hysterically laughing pretending to wipe tears of laughter from his face,

"see I like that kid; A little bit of respect" Callen said to Sam,

"Oh yeah sure boss let's head in shall we" Callen rolled his eyes before they both began laughing at the expense of Agent Fields.

By the time they got back to the OPS building nobody was happy. Kensi had had completely enough of the agent who thought he knew everything and so as they had been leaving Kensi had swapped cars jumping into Sams forcing Callen to ride back with the new Agent. A very uncomfortable, long car ride that was mostly filled with Fields telling him all about the little experience that he had and the rest of the time was spent asking him about Kensi.

By the time Callen finally pulled up outside the building and Sam pulled up behind him a moment later and the four of them headed up to the tech room to see what Eric had got for them. It was as they were ascending the stairs that Fields spoke up,

"Look Kens I'm sorry ok babe I'm sorry I was just a little nervous you know...first day on the new job and you're you know..." From in front of him Kensi's eyebrows rose at his words,

"And I don't know but..I'm sorry and I promise it won't happen again but for the record you're a great Agent and I'm rambling...so I'm just going to stop now and -okay" He trailed off as Kensi turned to look at him questioningly and under her stare all he wanted to do was retreat back down the stairs and well...go hide. As Eric called out Kensi motioned him into the room and he quickly rushed passed her. She looked at Sam and Callen who had identical smirks on their faces and didn't blink an eye when Callen stepped towards her swinging an arm around her shoulders.

"Oh Kens, you'll get used to him babe" She glared up at him and slipped out from under Callen's arm following her partner into the room and taking note to tell him to never call her that again.

And Kensi got her chance soon enough as Eric finished the briefing she and David were sent off to another crime scene. As he walked out calling her babe for the second time Kensi's jaw tightened and she spun towards him her hair flying,

"Stop calling me Kens and don't call me babe clear"

Three hours later Kensi stalked back into the OSP building she found herself faced with an amused looking Nate, Sam and Callen. She stopped for a second taking in her colleagues all watching her curiously.

"Ms Blye do you think that it was really a good idea to leave Mr Fields stranded at the crime scene" Sam said in a voice scarily like their boss' was,

"Well Sam it was either walk away or put a bullet through his skull to shut him up what would you have preferred?"

"Ms Blye" Kensi looked up from in front of the trio to Hetty who was looking down at them.

"Can I see you for a moment please" Kensi almost groaned knowing the berating she was in for before turning and slowly walking up the stairs heading into Hetty's office,

"Hetty" The older woman turned to the younger agent and smiled before gesturing towards the seat in front of her,

"Ms Blye how do you find your new partner?" Kensi's eyes darkened and her brow creased thinking of the man she'd been stuck with all day,

"Uh...I'll ..get used to him I suppose" Hetty smiled nodding,

"Ms Blye you know the rule we have...of never dating a co worker" Kensi frowned deeper now,

"Um yes" she said hesitantly, nodding slowly. Hetty considered her for a moment before she replied,

"Forget it" Kensi looked up in shock her eyes wide,

"What? Wait..Hetty I really...Wait what do you mean?"

"Ms Blye ...I have a small issue with Mr Fields" Kensi frowned again watching Hetty,

"Oh yes see Hetty I actually wanted to talk to you about hi—Wait...you want...me...Fields...?"

"I want you to...how to say it..uh get close to him. See if he's trustworthy"

"You want me to date him?" Kensi said knowing there was an appalled look contorting her face,

"Not date him per se just get to know him a little more"

"Wait so you want me to get close to Fields because you're suspicious of him"

"yes" Her boss simply said,

"Is this an order?" The look Hetty fixed her with was enough to answer that for her,

"Okay fine" She relented,

"Ms Blye maybe keep this quieter than normal perhaps just between you and I"

"Okay"

"Oh and Ms Blye"

"Be careful"
