Authors' Note- I decided to update this again 'cos I had some time on my hands :)

Once again, I would appriciate any reviews and/or comments you have :) I've gotten a few more ideas for the story, I'm gonna tell it through different team members' point of view, but I'm not gonna focus on cases all that much. :)

And no, I don't own NCIS: Los Angeles or any of the characters you recognise. If only.

All mistakes are mine.

Chapter 2

A.J's POV.

I haven't met my new partner yet. Apparently he's away on a joint taskforce and won't return until next week. According to Hetty, I'll be partnered up with my team leader and his partner for the week.

As we all left Ops, I saw Agent G. Callen follow Hetty into her office. Hetty must not have told him I was joining the team.

His partner, Agent Sam Hanna, is a physically imposing man, his six foot something muscular frame towering over my five foot six stature.

As we enter the "bullpen", as they call it, Agent Callen re-enters the group.

"Kensi, Deeks, go talk to the vic's wife," Agent Kensi Blye and her partner, Detective Marty Deeks, nodded, acknowledging Callen's order," Sam, Ava-Joy, and I will go talk to his boss at Navy Intel."

I speak up. "Agent Callen, please, call me A.J. Only my mom calls me Ava-Joy, when she's angry." I flash a smile.

Agent Callen nods, and starts walking. Assuming I am meant to follow, I set off out towards the parking lot. Agent Hanna walks alongside me, although with every step he takes, I must take two.

He slows down, and says to me," G is very territorial. It'll take him a while, but he'll learn to trust you, assuming you earn it."

I smile. "I have every intention to."

Twenty minutes later, we arrive at the Office of Naval Intelligence. Agent Callen steps out of the passenger side of the car, pulling the seat forward so I can get out. I step out, straighten my jacket, while I say "thanks."

The victim's boss only gives us generic answers to our questions. "That's classified." and "I'm not at liberty to discuss that," wasn't going to aid us in our investigation, despite how much her temporary partners pushed the man for the answers.

We made our way back to the Ops Centre, discussing the case the whole way. I was remaining quiet, not wanting to intrude on their partnership. So, it surprised me when Agent Callen asked for my opinion. Fair enough, he was testing me, after all, I was going to have to work with these men for the forseeable future.

"Well, I think that the boss has something to do with it" I say.

"Why?" Agent Callen replied simply.

"His body language," I say,"he was hostile, and his body was screaming to get out of there," I pause. "No wonder the interview only lasted 3 minutes, he couldn't wait to get out of there. Even if he didn't kill the analyst, he's hiding something."

Agent Callen shrugged. "It's worth getting Eric and Nell to check him out anyway." Agent Hanna nodded.

I smile inwardly. If I have to earn Agent Callen's trust, this is a good start.

So, that's part 2. I think I will continue this story, because I am enjoying writing it.

Please R&R! :)
