I am so sorry for my last update. I accidentaly updated the wrong chapter to the wrong story. though If anyone wants to read my nell and Callen story it's called 'secrets never stay secrets'. This is the right chapter though. sorry for the mixup.

Chapter 6

In the car on the way to NCIS LA headquarters, there is silence. Pulling into NCIS Callen put the car into park, but he didn't get out and neither did she. They were both staring at the dashboard when she finally asked, "Do you want to talk about what happened back at the hotel?"

"Why? Do you think that we should?" he said turning to look at her.

"I mean we don't have to if you don't want to."

"I don't really. Do you?"

"Nope." Making sure to pop the p.

"So we're good?"

"Yeah."

"Okay." he said getting out of the car.

The thing is, she did want to talk about it. And so did he, kind of. He wanted to figure out why they did that. That's a lie. He knows why it happened. She's an attractive woman. They were in a hotel room, and he was comforting her. She was emotional. He knew that he shouldn't have, so he'll just pretend that it never happened.

Chapter 10

"Chloe, meet agents Sam Hannah, and Kensi Blye, LAPD detective Marty Deeks, Tech operator Eric Beale, and Intelligence analyst Nell Jones." Hetty said pointing to each team member as she went. "Team, meet Chloe."

"Oh my gosh." Nell said, not as softly as she thought she had said, because everyone turned to look at her. Hetty and Chloe raised their eyebrows at the redhead. The two woman looked at each other, then back at Nell.

"Miss Jones. A moment in my office please."

She inwardly cursed. "Uh oh." She sighed.

The two woman left, but not before Hetty instructed Eric to start the debrief without them.

"What do you think that's about?" Questioned Eric, taping his tablet in his palms.

"Don't know." reply's Deeks.

"Me neither, but whatever it is it's none of our business." Says Callen, sneaking a glance at Chloe then back to the door, in which the two girls had just exited. "Eric, watta you got?"

"Good question. Meet David Ainsley and Scott Ainsley. The two guys from the diner. They are brothers. Brothers in crime really. Started out at a young age, a little petty thief here and there, now, they are in the hired hit business together. A family that kills together, stays together."

Clearly that last part was supposed to be funny. "Haha," Chloe laughs. "Good one."

"See, at least someone thinks I'm funny."

"We think you're funny." Deeks says.

"Yup." Kensi agrees.

"Yeah." agrees Sam.

"Definitely." says Callen. He turns to Chloe and whispers in her ear. "You didn't really find that funny did you?"

"He needed an ego boost. What can I say?" He couldn't stop the smile that came to his face at her remark.

"For federal agents, you guys all suck at lying." Now that he's caught on.

"He has a point," interjects Chloe.

"Says the beautiful new girl." exclaims Deeks, as he leaves ops.

"Really Deeks, Really?" Kensi rolls her eyes at Deeks.

"One, thank you for the complement. Two, I am not the new girl. In case you haven't noticed, I, am not an agent, or a cop of any kind."

"Which makes it all the more interesting."

Pouring a cup of tea for Nell at her desk, "Miss Jones. You are a smart woman, and I assume you know who Chloe really is, and her relationship to me."

"I have a few ideas, but they're not necessarily..., um..., They're just,.. they're just ideas." She stutters treading carefully.

Hetty eyes narrow at the woman sitting across from her. "Care to share these ideas Miss Jones."

"When you went missing that one time in Romania, Director Vance had asked me to look into you, see if I could find anything on what might have happened to you. And I came across something. Something I don't think anyone was ever supposed to find. Vance told me to pretend like I didn't see anything, and not to tell anyone. I completely forgot about it until I saw Chloe."

"Well. What you found, was true, and you can never tell anyone about this."

"Yeah, I know." Nell rubs her hands together, and gets up. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course dear."

"Does she know?"

"No. And it's better for her if she doesn't."

"Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."

Hetty just nods at her and gives her a grateful smile.

When Nell is about to head back upstairs, she ran into Callen.

"Hey Nell?"

"Yes, Agent Callen?"

"What did you and Hetty talk about?"

Keeping anything from Callen is hard, he can read her like a book. "Oh, she just wanted to talk to me about someone I had looked into a while ago." It wasn't exactly a lie.

"Oh okay. Well did you ever find anything out about Chloe's past like I asked. Anything that could help?"

"Nope, nothing yet., but I'll keep looking."

"Let me know if you find anything," he says skeptically.

"Will do. Bye." and she left things at that, and went up her way to ops.
