On: Eric.
I am thankful for Eric because he treats me like a person. I often push people away with my personality, and my little habit of finishing other people's sentences. But Eric didn't let that stand in the way; and he has helped me to overcome my bad habits more then I can ever know. He is also fun to work with…even if we disagree on methods sometimes.
"Really?" Eric was grinning ear to ear. "You really think I am fun to work with?"
Nell nodded, smiling. "Of course!"
Hetty cleared her throat pointedly and silence descended again.
On: Kensi
I am thankful for Kensi because she welcomed me into the team quickly. I have to admit that I was a little intimidated at first; she is really calm and cool and collected all the time and I am…not. But she has become a good friend (and I would never have watched Titanic if it hadn't been for our Girl's Night.)
Deeks head shot up. "You two have a girl's night?"
Kensi laughed. "We have to; we work with you guys all the time."
On: Deeks
I am thankful for Deeks because he makes me laugh, even if I am having a bad day. He is persistent, and doesn't let me give up on things. I hope we become better friends; I would love to know the recipe for those cookies he made me a while ago.
Deeks was bright red as everyone looked at him. "What? I was going undercover as a pastry chief and wanted to make sure I didn't bomb it."
On: Sam
I am thankful for Sam because he always watches out for every member of the team-even me. He is hard-working and an inspiration for me. His positive attitude makes even hopeless problems seem manageable.
Sam looked pleased as Hetty moved on.
On: Callen
I am thankful for Callen because he is the force that keeps us moving. Without his leadership, we wouldn't be half the team we are. And I appreciate him looking out for me that time I went along to that hostage situation even though he had enough to worry about. (And no, I have never taken candy from strangers.)
Sam shot a look at Callen, smirking. "I was kinda kidding…" Callen muttered.
On: Hetty
Where can I begin? I am thankful for Hetty because she continues to let me work with the most dynamic group of people I have ever known. She always seems to know what to say to cheer me up, motivate me, or put me in my place. She is the one person I know I can always go to if I have a problem, and I trust her completely.
There was silence a moment, the Kensi leaned over and hugged Nell, smiling widely. "I already have another girl's night planned." She said as Hetty grabbed another paper.
The rest of the team either fist bumped or half hugged the excited young woman, thanking her for her notes.
"Yes, thank you for your kind words, Ms. Jones." Hetty said, settling the group down. "We will move on to Mr. Beal."
Eric paled slightly, smile gone. "M..me?"
"Unless one of the others has married you and changed their name, I am referring to you." Hetty glanced at him over her glasses. "Let's see what you wrote about your team."
