Bad Things Happen Bingo, NCIS LA edition

Fainting

It had been a very long day for the team. Callen had gone up to OPS for a final update from Eric, and was heading downstairs, when he almost fainted.

Hetty, who saw the whole thing from her office, immediately rushed to him and called for Eric to help her get him to the couch.

They got him some water to drink, then he went to sleep.

The next morning

Callen woke up and sure enough, Hetty was sitting next to him.

'Well good morning.' Callen said.

'Good morning. Are you feeling okay?' Hetty asked.

'Yes. Hungry and everything.'

'Good.' Then she slapped him on the arm.

'Ow! What's that for?!'

'Don't scare me like that, for goodness sake!' She shouted.

'Like what?'

'You nearly fainted going down the stairs, dummy! Don't you know how seriously hurt you could've been?! How much did you eat and drink yesterday?'

'Not much, I think. It was a very long day!' Callen said.

'That's not an excuse! I expect all my agents to take care of themselves on and off the job.' Hetty replied.

'Look, I probably could've handled myself better yesterday, but I'm fine now. Can we drop this now?'

'Sigh. Neither of us can control what goes on in the field, but when you're here at OPS, I expect you to take care of yourself. And I'm only saying this because I care about you. What if you had actually fainted on those stairs? You may not have much interest in your health Mr. Callen, but I do!' Hetty said, concerned.

Silence.

'I'm sorry. I'll try to take better care of myself.'

'Good. Now, I have some breakfast that I expect you to eat.'
