"It's nice to see you again. The past ten years have treated you well. You know Sean still wants you, something which as a good father I am happy to oblige to try to give him. Besides you have other beneficial elements. So are you coming or not?" Callen stepped forward and stood by her side.

"No she is not," said Callen and Alena turned to face him.

"I believe that is her choice. Besides you are in no position to be talking, neither are your teammates," a red dot appeared in the middle of Callen's forehead. She turned around to look at the other three. All of them had red dots as well. However she had none on her.

"Don't think about it. Please don't," he laughed.

"Now who has the upper hand?" she looked at Callen.

"Hand me your gun," he turned to face her. "Hand me your gun," she said once more. He looked at the others before passing it over.

"Are you going to shoot me?" she shook her head. She turned the gun so it was pointed at herself, right at her stomach.

"No, but if you don't leave right now and let us all go I will shoot myself. Your choice," he clapped.

"Well done," he said. "Don't worry; I'm not going to get you now, no fun. However later though it may be a different story. Enjoy your time it won't last long," he walked away and once he was out of sight the red dots disappeared from all their foreheads. Callen rushed her back to the car. The drive back was silent and Callen didn't look at her at all. Back at the office Hetty and Director Vance took the team into another area and they talked. She sat down on the couch and just thought through different situations. It was awhile before they came out.

"You and Mr. Callen will stay here. It is the safest place. I hope you don't object to sleeping on a couch," said Hetty. At this point she turned to look at Callen but he didn't make eye contact with her.

"Thank you," said Alena. Everyone walked away but when Callen went to move she grabbed his arm. He turned around.

"Listen we can talk later, I have to go," he walked away leaving her alone. She started to cry to herself as Kensi walked by.

"Alena, are you alright?" she nodded whilst wiping her eyes.

"I'm fine. It's just stressful and with everything that is happening, it's hard to handle," Kensi nodded. She looked around to make sure no one was near and then looked at Alena, sitting down beside her.

"Um, you don't have to answer if you don't want to but is there anything between you and Callen," Alena looked up at her. With a quick look around the room she answered.

"I don't know. Last night but then this morning," she started to make no sense. Kensi could see how confused she was over this. She stood and Alena stood after her.

"Thank you, Agent Blye," Kensi shook her head.

"Call me Kensi, please," Alena nodded.

"Thank you Kensi," she smiled.

"Just so you know, Callen has been different the past two days," Alena looked up at her and nodded. Kensi smiled and walked away. She sat down on the couch as Eric walked down. He came over to her.

"Hi," he said. She raised her hand in response. "They want me to run some pictures by you, see if you recognize anyone," she nodded. The first picture came up. She simply shook her head. The rest followed the same pattern until they reached the last one.

"Wait," she said and he pulled the image back up. "I know him. When my parent s were alive he, he came around to our house a couple of times a year," she walked closer to the screen. "I think that he worked on something with Matthew," Eric nodded.

"Eric, Hetty wants you!" yelled Nell from the top of the stairs.

"Got to go, thanks," said Eric as he ran up the stairs. She sat back down on the couch, and just sat there.

"You know, a woman should never waste a minute she could spend doing extra activities," she turned to find Hetty standing there.

"Ms. Lange, that is your name right?" she laughed.

"Please just Hetty. I thought you might be slightly bored so here," Hetty passed her a book. "The classics, Jane Eyre. No matter how many times you read it, somehow it always can be read once more," she looked down at the book.

"Thank you," said Alena as Hetty walked away. She spent the afternoon reading and no one came near, though Kensi did check in multiple times. Callen never came close.
