OPS Shenanigans

I Wish

"Eric hold still." Nell said with fake sternness as she fixed his collar.

"I'm just so excited." he said bouncing on the balls of his feet.

It was their first ever joint undercover op. They were undercover as a engaged couple, who had just moved into a very enclosed neighbourhood. What most of the other residents didn't know was that there was a domestic terrorist cell operating out of one of the houses.

"Its just dinner, they want to welcome us to the neighbourhood, you might as well be yourself." Nell said grabbing her clutch from the kitchen table.

"But right now I am not myself." Eric said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Nice reference, Beale but what I meant was be your alias, anyway Kensi and Deeks are gonna be there. All we gotta do is pretend we don't know them." Nell said suppressing giggles as she locked the door to their house which she thought was way to big for two people.

"Got it and we have to act like a young couple in love." Eric said putting his arm round Nell's waist.

"Not hard." Nell commented crossing the street arm in arm to the house opposite.

Eric looked up at the house it was so large. He still couldn't believe that Kensi and Deeks had been undercover for almost a year. That is why they needed Nell and Eric's help, new people may stir things up a bit.

The door swung open and in the door was Kensi looking at them like she didn't know them. God she was good!

"Mark,the guests of honour are here." she called back into the house as she took the bottle that Eric had brought. Deeks came swinging into view holding a bottle of beer.

"Hi." Nell and Eric said in unison.

"Mark, obviously" he said shaking Eric's hand and leading them towards the backyard. "You've met Kate already let me introduce you to the rest of the street." he said indicating to the groups around the garden.

"GUYS." Deeks yelled everyone looked round at him. "I would like everyone to meet our new neighbours Clara and James."

"Welcomes" resonated through the group

A large balding man walked up to them and held his hand out to Eric which he took. "The names Phil, I've lived here the longest. James let me point you to were the beer is." he said waking towards a group of men round a barbaque. Eric reluctantly let go of Nell and followed him.

"James, this is Danny." said pointing to a man in a white apron.

"I would shake your hand but I might burn you." Danny said holding up gloved hands.

"Better me than the food." Eric joked and the Phil chuckled.

"This is Tim." pointing to a man in his late twenties.

"Mark has told us alot about you." said Tim holding out a fist. Eric bumped it.

"This is Oliver." Phil said spit-tingly towards a man sitting at the edge of the group, sipping a light beer.

"Keep your hostility to yourself, Phil. The kid can come to his own conclusions." he said not even looking at the group.

"And last but not least my son and son-in law, Alex and Michael."

"Hey how ya doin." Alex quipped.

"I love your shoes, what designer." Michael asked.

"Armani, I think my fiancee bought them for me." Eric said thinking of the first mens designer that came into his head.
