Chapter 8 – ready, set… STOP!
Nell hands out the information about the infiltration-plan on the building throughout the ventilation shaft.
"who long have you been working on this, Nell?" Kensi asks.
"this is very impressive Nell." Deeks sounds incredibly surprised.
"I found out that the ventilation shaft is big enough that I can crawl in there with an oxygen tank if I'm wearing a slim suit like leggings and a slim top."
"but Nell you need to be carrying a firearm if you are going in without back up." Sam says.
"she is not going in." hetty says. Everyone look surprised at Hetty.
"so Hetty we are just leaving Eric there?" Kensi asks.
"Hetty…" Nell says.
"the bomb squad is going in to get Mr. Beale out."
"but Hetty…" Nell says. "end of discussion Miss. Jones." Hetty leaves Ops. Nell look frustrated.
"they placed a glass with some sort of chemical over his head. That is connected to the door handle with a fish line. As soon at the bomb squad touch the door handle the chemical will spell all over Eric's face and down his through and…"
"and he will burn inside out." Kensi finish her sentences. Nell nods.
"we have to send Nell in with or without Hettys permission."
"Nell you are sure you can handle this?" Sam asks. Nell nods.
"I got you guys in my back."
"sure do sis…" kensi says with a little smile that makes Nell smile too.
"okay suit up Nell." Callen orders.
"I go pack a back with necessary tools to disarm a bomb in case." Sam says and leaves ops.
"I go pack the necessary firearms." Kensi says and then she is out of ops along with Callen.
"let's get you wired up." Deeks says and Nell and Deeks leaves ops together. Nate is left in ops alone with a very concerned look on his face.
Sam, Callen and Kensi comes down from ops. They see Hettys offices is empty.
"all clear." Sam says and then they all hurry to the weapons room. Shortly after Nell runs down to the locker room and get changed into her fitness clothing. Slim fit black pants and a navy blue top. She has her black leatherjacket in her hand. 5 minutes after she meets with Deeks at his desk and they run op to ops again.
"okay let's get you wired up. Button camera doesn't work so…"
"so I have this." She holds out a silver neckless with the word 'friends' on it. "it fit in to the e." Nell places the button camera on her neckless.
"headset as normal, besides…"
"besides I want have Eric in my ear as normal?" she looks up at Deeks while she is putting in her headset.
"Nell… I'm sorry. I haven't been really nice to you doing this case." He starts wiring her up on the back while he continues talking. "I have a little difficult dealing with relationships and… to be honest I can't really image you and Eric together. I mean… you are one of the most awesome girls I know. You are so smart and Eric… he is…"
"he is Eric."
They both chuckle a little. Eric is a very unit human being. Deeks continues talking.
"you are friend with Kensi so you probably know that I'm not good at serious communication about feelings and relationships."
"yeah I know." Nell sounds very harsh.
"okay…"
Deeks is done wire Nell up. She turns around to face him while she is putting on her bulletproof vest and her jacket.
"Deeks… for a long time I didn't understood what the hack Kensi sow in you. I mean really… I tried to her to meet other guys but for some reason she kept coming back to you. But over time I found out what she sees in you."
Deeks look surprised at her and is waiting for her to continue.
"you are so sarcastic all the time but… you are also a guy who can see the real Kensi that I also see. How amazing she is."
Deeks smiles and blush a little. He has never heart Nell say anything like that before. Their quiet moment gets broken by Nate Getz who comes in with the oxygen tank. He places it on the table.
"just for the record… I am not a fan of this plan."
"I know Nate." Nell gives Nate a hug. Then Kensi, Callen and Sam comes in. Sam is carrying a backpack.
"okay Nell. You are wired up?" callen asks.
"yes ready to go."
"you are comfortable with this?" kensi asks.
"it is not my first undercover up, kens." Nell says with a smile that is surpose to hide her nerves, but that doesn't go so well. Kensi can hear how nervous she is. She gives Nell a huge hug.
"you are going to do great Nell. You have us as soon as you need us."
"talk to us if you need it." Callen says.
"sometimes I can help to just talk about everyday thing if you are nervous." Deeks says.
"yeah I think I know that. I can hear everything you say to Kensi all the time… sometimes… TMI!"
Deeks, Sam and Callen look confused. Nell and Kensi gives each other a high-five. The Nell is ready to go. She takes the oxygen tank and put in the backpack. Sam, Callen, Deeks and Kensi gives Nell a big hug.
"good luck sis." Kensi says and then Nell leaves OPS. She looks back at her friends and team one last time. then the doors close behind her and she is on her own.
"TMI? What does that mean?" Deeks look very confused. "some tech language?"
