'You can scream all you want, but no one will hear you.' A cackling voice said over the intercom.
Callen couldn't believe it. Someone had to hear him, someone had to find Hetty and tell her she was in danger!
'You okay, Mr. Callen?' Hetty asked when she saw how tired Callen looked.
'I'd say I'm okay, except you will see that I'm lying. So, I'll just come out and say it: I had a nightmare that I was being held captive, and your life was in danger. Woke up and couldn't really get back to sleep.' Callen replied.
Hetty went silent.
'Oh. Well, that is certainly disturbing. I can offer you some tea that can help you sleep well.'
'Hetty, I don't need your fancy tea. I got beer and milk, I'll be fine.' Callen insisted.
The beer and milk fact definitely didn't reassure Hetty. She wanted to give Callen the tea anyway, but she decided to not pry.
The next day, she saw him with his head on his desk. Sighing, she left him some tea with a note that said:
'Please try this. It might help. Also, I can't have agents who can't stay awake trying to work, so please get your issue under control. -H'.
Callen sighed. And he decided to try her way. And as a result, he slept very well!
'Guess that means I have to thank her.' He thought, then smiled.
