Callen looked in ops and did a quick walk through of the upstairs growing more anxious by the minute. Surely Nell would not have made a run for it, not when she knew the team would stop at nothing to keep her safe. He went to go ask Eric to run a trace on her phone but stopped when he walked by the girls bathroom. His heart was pounding as his last hope was mere feet away. He knocked and only waited a second before he spoke,"Ladies, I am coming in." As he pushed the door open he prayed no one was inside changing, he could almost hear Hetty's sexual harassment speech already.
"Thanks for the warning." Nell replied as she held a wet paper towel to her face.
"You know it would have been nice had you told someone where you were going. It would have saved me and Nate some time." Callen told her. While he mentally added it would have saved him a lot of worry as well.
"Callen, I wasn't leaving the building so why would I tell someone? And even if I had left you would have seen me. What did you think I did, jump out of a second story window?" Nell laughed finally tossing the paper towel into the trashcan.
Callen remembered the file he had read and the words played back in his mind...suicide ideation..., "That's not funny," he went to continue on with his lecture but stopped short upon seeing her face. "Have you been crying?" Callen didn't know how he wanted her to answer. If she said no, he would be mad that she was lying. If she said yes, Callen would not know how to respond. He had never been good at dealing with his own emotions and he definitely wasn't good with tears. He would inevitably sit there awkwardly and hope that it would pass quickly.
"No." Nell answered looking at the floor.
"Why are you lying to me?"
"Why do you care?" Nell asked this time looking up.
Callen didn't know how to respond. He wanted to tell her that it was because he had fallen for her and that had she been crying he wanted to be able to console her but instead he said, "I'm the agent in charge I need to know what is going on with my team."
"Oh...okay..." Nell replied walking out of the bathroom. She had planned on staying in the bathroom until her eyes and face had become less red. She knew even non agents would be able to tell she had been crying. And she didn't want the team to see her like that...but she couldn't force herself to stay in a room that was so small, especially in the presence of Callen.
Nate stood outside once he had heard her voice, he wanted to talk to her before she left for the safe house. Once the door opened he started his speech he had been planning the last ten minutes, "Nell, I know that you have a lot going on right now. I also know you are going to tell me that you don't need to talk about it...but me and the team are worried about you. I don't want you to relapse so I was hoping that you would let me get you a prescription to help get you through." Even as he said it he knew she would want no part in it.
"I do not need it, Nate."
"Nell, if I recall correctly you didn't need it back then either. And me and you both know that you did." Nate tried again.
"I don't appreciate the fact that you think I need to be medicated to get through this. And just because you knew me back then doesn't mean you know me now. So don't go assuming that I need medicine. I'm not one of your mental cases, so stop treating me like I am a basket case!" Nell's voice had grown louder the longer she talked. She stormed down the stairs planning on waiting for Callen.
Callen had stood back watching the exchange as he tried to blend into the wall, "That went over well."
"It is only a matter of time before she regresses." Nate commented quietly.
"Will the medicine delay that?" Callen asked.
"If taken properly there is a decreased chance of psychosis, anxiety attacks, amongst other things that you probably don't care about."
"Give me the prescription." Callen replied.
"What?"
"She is staying with me, if she ends up needing it I want it to be nearby." Callen responded.
Nate nodded understanding, "This one will help take the edge off of everything going on. This one will allow her brain to shut off so she can get some sleep at night."
"Is there anything in particular I should be on the lookout for?" Callen asked.
"Nell suffered from PTSD initially. She would hallucinate and return to that night...if she ever zones out and you think she is going back to that night gently coax her out of it. Pay special attention to the things she says. Read between the lines. Listen intently to her, and if she in anyway threatens herself call me. Don't push her too far, you're a trained investigator you know how far you will be able go go. More importantly keep an eye on her..."
Callen smiled in understanding before going downstairs and joining Nell, "We're going to my house. Let's go."

Nell found herself in the passenger side of the car, mentally wishing she could be back in the bathroom. At least there she wasn't confined to such a small space. She was sitting as close to the window as she physically could. She didn't want Callen protecting her, she didn't deserve it. But she also was trying to ignore the surge of electricity that she felt whenever Callen was around.
"You came down kind of hard on Nate back there. Do you wanna talk about it?" Callen asked staring out his back windshield looking for a tail.
"Not particularly."
"Why do you keep doing that?" When Nell looked at him in confusion he continued, "You keep pushing me away."
"I do not."
"Then level with me."
"About?"
"Everything. Why you lied about crying, why you yelled at Nate and why you never came to me about this. Nell I was there this morning, we talked. Why didn't you just tell me?" Nell could sense that Callen was hurt that she had not told him, "I wanted to handle it myself. I am capable you know?"
Callen spoke again, "So your defense mechanism is to deflect, fine. I'll play along for now."
Nell didn't speak again until they had reached Callen's house, "Why can't I just stay in a hotel?" She complained.
Callen shook his head, he never in a million years would have thought Nell Jones could put up such resistance, "We're good at our job why don't you let us do it?" Callen asked as he spoke of Sam, Kensi, Deeks, and himself.
Nell mumbled something under her breath as she made her way inside.

Kensi arrived at Nell's house. She hesitated at the door, she never liked invading her friends privacy. Going to Nell's house even just to pick things up felt like a betrayal. She sighed and opened the door. Nell's house was clean and indoor plants decorated the living room on every surface. She made her way to the bathroom and grabbed a toothbrush and upon seeing them she also grabbed some feminine products. She would hide these at the bottom of the suitcase just in case. She made her way to the bedroom and she opened the drawers grabbing panties and bras. She opened the closet door and not knowing what to take she grabbed everything that was within arm reach. She figured the things that Nell wore most would be front and center. Kensi was just about to leave when something out the window caught her attention. She walked to the window and peered out noting a white van was parked down the street that had a man sitting in the driver's seat. It was too far away for her to get a close look at him, all she could make out was the silhouette.
A noise sounded from the living room and she heard voices. She upholstered her weapon and pulled her cell phone out calling in an agent in distress. She knew within minutes she would have backup.
"She thinks she can come here and start over. She is gonna think again. I had to go on the run to avoid the cops that she had chasing after me. I still can't use my real name and can't go into public with my natural hair color. And look she has a whole new life, a whole new set of friends. I should have made sure she was dead the minute she got hit by the bullet. I won't make the same mistake again." Kensi had been focused on the door that led to the hallway.
Her mistake was forgetting he was a former trained agent. He was distracting her, so his partner could circle back and enter the bedroom through the adjoining bathroom. Kensi felt the gun press up against her head and she jumped slightly.
"What do we have here?" A man asked.
Kensi didn't answer, instead she ducked down quickly and spun so her legs connected with his and he fell to the ground in a heap. She was quick to collect his gun that had fell to the floor. She trained the gun at the guy but she often moved the gun in the direction of the doorway. The man was still laying on the floor. He wore a black mask so she could not see his face. He made a move to his leg and Kensi knew he was going for another gun, she shot twice connecting with the man's chest. She made her way into the hallway and seen someone darting out the front door. She turned back around figuring she would have a better chance shooting him out of the window. Upon entering the bedroom she tripped over the suitcase and fell to the ground face first. Her ankle exploded in pain.

The man Kensi had shot grabbed at his bullet proof vest as the woman made her way to the living room. He groaned as he reached down and grabbed his back up gun. He heard footsteps returning and he resumed his position as a dead man. He took a chance and peeked just as the woman fell to the ground. Knowing it may be his only chance he raised his gun.

Sam and Deeks were finding out all of the pertinent information that they could use about their suspect when their phones went off simultaneously. "It's Kensi. We gotta go." Sam said as Deeks continued to struggle getting his phone out of his pocket.
"Eric! We need a location!" Deeks called out as he followed Sam to the car.
Deeks was trying to remain calm, he had never been so glad that Nell lived so close to the mission. It would take them less than a minute to get there with Sam's driving. Deeks phone went off and he looked at the address that had popped up on his screen, it confirmed Kensi was still at Nell's house.
Sam's phone was the next to go off and he picked it up, "G, stay at your current location. Me and Deeks are on our way. We'll call you when we known what is up." Sam hurriedly stated before hanging up the phone.
As they pulled up to the house they heard two gunshots go off. They jumped out of the car as a man came running out of the house. They went to give chase, the man jumped in a white van. They heard another gunshot coming from within the house and Sam motioned for Deeks to go inside. Sam raised his gun and fired at the van as they sped past. He hit the windshield, but it didn't shatter like it normally would. It was then Sam realized they had bulletproof glass. He aimed at the tires and missed. He contemplated jumping in his own car and following but the safety of his teammates were his main concern. He didn't know who had shot who, who had been injured, or if the house was clear yet. He turned and ran inside gun raised.
