Callen was walking around HQ, looking for Sam but wasn't having much luck.
"Hey guys have you seen Sam by any chance?" Callen asked Kensi and Deeks who were walking out of the break room.
"Ah yeah. The last time I saw him was he was going down to the gym," Deeks told him.
"He told me that he needed to get some anger out. He didn't look too happy," Kensi added.
Huh, Callen thought. Why was Sam in a bad mood? What had made Sam angry? Well he was going to go and find out from his best friend.
"Thanks guys. I will go find him and see what's wrong," Callen said and with that he took off jogging and headed down to the gym.
Callen found Sam down in the gym. He was over at his punching bad and he was beating it as hard as he could.
He was really pissed, angry at something and as his best friend, his partner and the team leader it was his job to find out why.
Callen walked over to Sam cautiously dodging the blows that Sam was giving.
"Okay Sam. What's up?" Callen asked. "I haven't seen you all riled up like this since Deeks stole the chocolate muffin from your desk the other day?"
"Nothing's up G," Sam told him, purposely avoiding his gaze.
"Nothing. Come on man. Something must have happened to cause you to be so upset," said Callen.
Callen paused to think a minute.
"Oh okay. What has deeks done this time?" Callen asked believing that this would be the source of the problem.
"Idiot…had sex with someone….. shower," Sam replied, punching the bag extremely hard.
"Huh, who did he have sex with?" Callen asked him, curious.
"Kensi," Sam said but as he said her name, he stopped punching and looked up at his best friend.
Callen's jaw was on the ground.
"HE WHAT?" Callen yelled, not sure if he'd heard correctly.
Sam knew that he shouldn't have said anything but it was too late, it was now out, and he would just have to make his partner not to say anything. Especially Hetty, that's if she doesn't already know.
"Apparently they've also been together for a month," Sam added.
"How did you find out about this?" Callen asked Sam, dumbfounded.
"Well it was Eric who caught them having sex in the shower," Sam started.
"Wait, ERIC caught them?" Callen asked just to clarify.
Sam nodded.
"Yep and he got promised by Kensi and Deeks to keep it a secret but as we all know..." Sam said.
"Eric can't keep secrets," they both said in unison as they smiled at each other.
"So he told Nell. Nell was looking for me and while she was handing me an old case saying that she needed me to sign the case report, she accidentally blurted out that she had a secret and told me" Sam finished.
"So Hetty doesn't know about this, unless she has already found out," Callen asked to clarify.
"Yep," Sam replied.
"And Deeks and Kensi cannot know that we all know what happened," Callen said.
"You got that right G," Sam told his best friend.
"So I'm guessing that you want me to keep this a secret?" Callen asked.
"Can you?" Sam pleaded as the two special agents headed back up to the office.
"Fine. I can keep this a secret but you owe me big time," Callen warned.
"You got it G," Sam smiled back.
The last thing that you could hear from the two special agents as they walked out of the gym was.
"Really, Eric caught them?" Callen asked Sam.
"Yep, hilarious isn't it?" Sam laughed.
