"No way," said Callen.
"Mr. Callen we must think about this first. We could stop many people form dying if he gets real weapons by catching him. This is a real chance to put a big player out of action. Mr. Beale get Director Vance up here," he walked through the door as Hetty finished speaking.
"Already here. I know this man; he has been responsible for many deaths of our overseas soldiers and agents. He has been a top priority for years and Sec Nav will have my head if I pass up an opportunity to catch him and no matter what we at least have to ask her to help us. Nell, run down to get her," Callen blocked Nell from leaving.
"I'll go," before walking out at a fast pace. She looked up as he jetted down the stairs and walked over to her. She stood and he stepped right in front of her.
"Is everything alright?" said Alena.
"Listen, you need to come up to Ops but please don't say yes. Just please don't," she raised a single eyebrow.
"Any more cryptic and I swear I could ask Eric to put it through your computers," he looked at her, his face blank.
"Just don't say yes," he said making sure his tone was forceful and she knew it. She followed behind him up the stairs at a much slower pace than when he came down. Walking in all eyes turned to her, including Director Vance. A chair had been put by the middle table and Director Vance offered it to her. She shook her head and continued to stand.
"We wish we didn't have to ask this of you, especially considering everything you have been through but without you it won't work," her face was still showing how confused she was. "One of Agent Callen's aliases from a while back was contacted. He posed as an arm dealer and one of the more significant suppliers to Afghanistan insurgents has contacted him wishing to set up a meeting for tomorrow afternoon. The only issue is that he contacted Agent Callen after seeing him and you exiting the apartment block where you live. He wishes for you to attend the meeting as well, as a common rule between traders is when a woman is present, unless specifically involved, no weapons are to be drawn. We cannot guarantee your safety but Agents Callen, Hanna and Deeks will be there. As you will not be searched we will need you to slip an earpiece into his ear at one point. If you say no I fully understand but we cannot do it without you," she looked up at Callen who was shaking his head at her staring intensely into her eyes. She looked around at all the others, most tried not to make eye contact with her. She looked at Hetty who was in turn looking at Callen. She turned to Director Vance last. With anticipation of knowing how Callen would react she made her choice. He was surprised by her response, as was everyone else.
