Eric held his head in his hands as he and Nell sat side by side in Hetty's Office.
"Now, we need to get to the bottom of this." Hetty paused for dramatic effect watching down her glasses as the pair squirmed uncomfortably in their seats.
"There was never a question that you two have strong chemistry but I never thought you would take it this far.""Look, Hetty..." Nell said trying not to look her boss in the face for feat of crumbling in embarrassment.
"We don't even know if we actually, you know....sealed the deal." Nell tried to explain skirting the issue."What Nell is trying to say is that we have not memory of last night, but we know we didn't drink" Eric said lifting his head fully for the first time since they entered mission.
Nell's face contorted into a look of embarrassment and apology.
"I believe Miss Jones knows otherwise. What happened Nell?" Hetty asked staring the young analyst down.
"We went to a bar, we both had only one beer the whole night. But then one of my ex-boyfriends turned up and got real aggressive. Eric told him to piss of and he did but not before he slipped something in Eric's drink. By the time you got to your car you were on the point of passing out. So i drove you back to my place and let you crash on my couch." Nell finished holding in breath.
"That explains Eric's lack of memory but that does not explain why he was in your bedroom in the nude." Hetty stated turning to Nell
"I can't explain that. He probably thought he had passed out on his own sofa when he eventually woke up so he just climbed into bed not really thinking about his surroundings." Nell said animating the theory with her arms.
"Well, I am glad we cleared that up, now off to work both of you." Hetty commanded waving her hand dismissively.
They climbed the stairs in silence. Until they reached the top.
"Thank you." Eric said looking at his shoes blushing.
"For what?" Nell asked confused.
"For rescuing me from your ex. What was he 6'2."
"6'3" and your welcome." Nell said planting a swift kiss on his cheek and walking into OPS blushing.
