Hetty's home.

'He barfed half the night. The poor thing. He's finally resting. I'm in the middle of baking cookies to pass the time.' Hetty said over the phone.

'That sucks. It is just a stomach bug?' Callen asked.

'It is. No doubt he'll be really grumpy when he walked up, can't say I blame him, I hate not feeling 100%.'

'Well, I won't keep you. Just letting you know that everything is fine here, just take care of Granger, and the team will handle everything else. (sound of glass breaking).'

'What was that?'

'Nothing! Gotta go!'. Then he hung up.

Hetty sighed, then went up stairs to check on Granger.

'Hi. How are you doing?' She asked when she saw him awake.

'Like crap, basically.' He replied.

'Understandable. If there's anything I can do, just let me know.'

'I just, want to say thanks for calming me down last night. I was abrasive, and you just stuck by me rubbing my shoulder while I puked.'

Smiling. 'I know what dealing with stomach illness is like, believe me. It's not great feeling like you have to puke.'

'Did I forget to mention you have warm hands?' Granger asked.

Hetty giggled and blushed.
