Callen looked at me worried for a second as I slowly tried to get out of bed. I was still smiling when I climbed out of bed running toward her. She held me at arm's length and smiled widely. She smiled saying "well it's been a while hasn't it."
I grinned "yeah it has last year spring break Panama City right."
"Yep that's when I remember the bar on the corner."
Callen stood up "well not to break up the party but who the hell are you and how did you get in here?"
"I'm an FBI agent who are you" the girl said glaring at him.
I finally spoke up noticing that Callen was feeling uncomfortable trying to decide whether or not to lie to an FBI agent. "Callen this is my old friend Paige, Paige this is my coworker Callen."
She turned to me all of the sudden uninterested in G "are we still doing our annual spring break this year I've been so excited."
"Of course we are when is it this year?"
"Well this weekend is when it kicks off are you gonna be out by then?"
"Of course if I have to break out of this hospital I will be there" I said with a menacing grin. Callen sighed and got up muttering under his breath. I watched him walk out of the room when he turned and half smiled and half glared at me "I'm going back to the ahh office see you there when you get out."
The nurse came in as he turned away and smiled at me "well miss looks like you are all clear to go we can check you out right now if you want."
Yes right now would be great I have transportation home" I said turning to Paige smiling. She smiled back at me until the nurse went and got the paperwork then turned to me "so what top secret shit put you in here?"
"How did I know you would ask that" I said getting dressed in my street clothes Callen had brought me.
"Well what else would the notorious Christy DeVries or whatever you are going by this week I mean come on its so plain Jane for you? Unless you've found another way to use your specific talents?" she said winking.
"Shhh" I glared at her half heartedly "someone might here you and we wouldn't want that now would we." I smiled at my old friend she was the only one in the world that knew my real past everything that had happened and everything that I had done.
"Fine" she said simply.
We were in her car and I was directing her to NCIS. I knew I would be in trouble as soon as we got there from Hetty because of certain rules about people being brought to headquarters but who I was most scared of was Paige I had lied to her for the first time in our 15 years of friendship. I had told her I was working for the navy (not a lie) in Iran (a lie) with a brigade hunting down terrorists (another lie).
"Paige I have to tell you something" I said apprehensively.
"I am so excited to see your house it must be pretty" she gushed "will you be able to take your dog back or do you have to go back overseas?"
"Well that's kinda what I wanted to talk about umm you know" she cut me off then by gasping. I instantly put my hand on my gun but I saw her eyes were on a house down the street. I looked then realized with a shiver we were here.
She sped up pulling in the driveway I sunk lower in the red and black leather seats of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 that she owned. She got out and looked at the house. Kill me now please I murmured as I got out smiling on the outside. We walked in and Deeks was talking to Dom in the hallway great I'm gonna get yelled at right off the bat. Deeks turned smiling for a second then he frowned. We walked past them and the empty hallway she was glaring at me when we turned into the main office and saw everyone walking around. Everyone went silent looking from me to Paige. I cringed sensing Paige was about to lay into me.
"YOU LIED TO ME HOW COULD YOU" she yelled not caring who heard her.
"Now Paige you know the rules I wasn't" she cut me off for the second time that day.
"SCREW THE RULES I THOUGHT WE PROMISED" she yelled.
"I know we promised but I couldn't if I lose this job I might have you work for the FBI or something like that" I stammered.
"When you went to work for the navy as a recruit you called me, when you went to the CIA you told me, when we worked for NIA you said you would have found me, and when I started working for the FBI I emailed you" she said glaring at me. I heard a buzz in the crowd no one had that good of credentials.
"I don't mean to butt in but you aren't supposed to be here" Hetty said walking toward us.
"Hetty is that you" Paige said in delight.
"Miss. Bennett I haven't seen you since you were a recruit" I stared at Paige.
"Recruit" I spit out "I thought we were always honest WITH EACHOTHER."
"I can explain" she said cringing under my glare. I brightened my mood.
"Ohh no need I understand are we even" I said catching her in a trap.
She thought for a minute then nodded her head. The next thing I had to do might take a more tactical approach.
I turned to Hetty again "Hetty I have a question for you. Can I take a vacation?"
