Lonewolf & the Survivor

What About The Case?

POV: G Callen

*walks out of lockers with Katherine and back to the offices, over to bullpen*

Katherine: Tonight, 8pm. Same bar we met before *raises eyebrows slightly*

Mmhmm. Same bar *sits in chair - can tell the rest of the team will be watching via cameras in ops*

Katherine: Don't sound too excited, you'll get my hopes up *turns his chair hands resting on each arm rest leaning down towards him*

*raises eyebrows at her* How could you get your hopes up over one drink

Katherine: I have a feeling it won't be just one

*sits up in seat slightly face inches from hers* Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens, won't we

Katherine: That we will *grins as eyes flicker over him* I bet you're a lot more fun than you give off

You have no idea

Katherine: Now who's flirting with who, baby blue *eyes meet with his*

You can leave now, don't kill anyone on your way out

Katherine: That is what I promised *stands up before turning away from him walking off*

*closes eyes briefly before turning in seat to face computer* Here we go

Deeks: Who was she, what did she want, are you two-

Stop *doesn't even have to look at him* Anything you ask the response will be, none of your business

Sam: And if I asked *folds arms across chest*

Everything is fine. I'm fine. Nothing to worry about

Kensi: Then who is she

Someone I met at that bar

Deeks: So you two did hook up

What did I just say

Deeks: ... None of my business

None of your business, that's right

Sam: Hetty wants an update on the case

*stands up from seat going to walk past him but gets stopped - turns head to Sam* I'm good, everything is fine

Sam: ... *steps to one side*

Kensi: *watches as Callen walks off before looking over at Sam* Bad feeling?

Sam: Bad feeling. Have Nell run her face through the system

Kensi: *nods making way up to ops*

Deeks: You really think he's in trouble

Sam: Not sure about trouble... But there's something going on

I need to somehow convince Hetty to let the case go or go give it to someone else... I have enough contacts, I can ask a favour or cash one in... How she found where I worked I don't know and I don't like it. This isn't something I usually concern myself about because I don't tell anyone what I do but with her? Seems even my own secrets can't be kept to myself... I wonder what she knows about me... The team... I have to make sure this stays between us and none of them... They don't need to be involved in this... In whatever game she wants to play...
