Photo shoot. A photo shoot in OSP. Nell decides to have a photo shoot in OSP when Melissa arrives in work wearing an angel halo. December 18th. Deeks point of view.

Thursday morning and Sam and Melissa are not in work yet. 6:52 and neither of them have shown up yet. It's suspicious. Callen is here and at his desk so where is his partners? It's not like them to be late or AWOL. Nell is stood in the bullpen entrance leaning.

'Hey Callen where's your partners?' I call over.

'Yeah where is Sam and Melissa?' Kensi joins in.

'Melissa said she was catching a ride in with Sam today?' Nell informs us. That's strange seen as Melissa almost always car shares with Nell.

'Right here.' Sam answers walking into Ops with Melissa behind him. What is that on Melissa's head? Is she in a dress? 'School run.'

'And why has Melissa got an angel halo on her head?' Kensi enquires.

'Blame Kamran she refused to let me take it off.' Melissa answers moving to sit at her desk brushing a crease out of her cream dress and grabbing the halo off her head and placing it on her desk. I move to pick it up and put it on my head. A silver tinsel halo. Why does Melissa even have it?

'Why do you have a halo?' I answer putting it on. Nell and Kensi laugh. Melissa smiles. Nell grabs out her phone and quick takes a picture.

'Because I'm an angel…'

'Yeah right…' Sam jokes.

'Hey! At least warn me if you're going to take a picture.' I moan jokingly.

'Deeks lighten up.' Melissa answers putting Holly in her hair from her desk and standing next to me. We pose so that Nell can take another photo. I laugh as we both make funny faces. Nell must take 4 or 5 different ones in a matter of seconds.

'We should get one of you, Callen and Sam.' I think out loud and Melissa looks at me. Sam moves to stand next to her and I back up. Callen doesn't move.

'That's a good idea Deeks.' Nell agrees. Sam joins Melissa and Nell steps back and Sam puts a hand on Melissa's shoulder. Nell takes the photo a few seconds later. Callen joins them and Nell directs them to stand a certain way. Sam and Callen standing face to face and Melissa is in the background. Sam and Callen look like their challenging each other as Nell instructs and Melissa stands in between them slightly behind smiling.

'Perfect! Kensi, Deeks gotta get one of you two'

'Oh go on.' I stand behind Kensi in her chair still wearing the halo I've pinched from Melissa. Nell quickly takes a picture.

'Let's get one of you Nell.' Kensi offers.

'I'll take it.' Sam agrees taking Nell's phone from her.

'Would rather not been in this one.' Callen spoils the moments as me and the girls head to the couch.

'Might I join in?' Hetty requests interested in what is going on. So the next photo is of Kensi, Nell, me, Hetty and Melissa on the couch in the bullpen. I'm sat in the middle. Kensi is sat on the left arm. Nell is between us, smiling, one arm in her lap the other on the back of the sofa perfectly mirrored by Melissa who sits on the right side of the couch on the arm with Hetty between her and me. Hetty, Nell and I are smiling. Kensi is pouting.

'Lovely!' Hetty approves as we swipe through the photos on Nell's phone. They've all turned out great. That was fun… And all because Melissa wore a halo to work.

'Very festive. Now Mr Deeks take that off your head!' Hetty instructs me as she leaves the bullpen and we all return to our desks. Back to work!
