Nell Faces Tom

Sam watched as Kensi and Deeks loaded the suspect into the car. He pulled out his phone and called Callen.

Callen and Nell were on the way back to his place when his phone rang.

"Yeah Sam, what have you got?" He said as he looked at Nell.

"We picked up Tom and we're bringing him to the boatshed."

"Alright I'll be there soon."

"G, you can't be the one that interrogates him and you know it."

"Alright so who's going to interrogate him?"

"I am G with Deeks"

"That interrogation should be mine Sam."

"You're not the only one that wants a piece of him G, but this call came from Hetty and you need to be there for Nell right now."

Callen exhaled. "Alright, keep me updated"

"I will" Said Sam as he hung up the phone.

Callen looked over to Nell who was rubbing her wrist and looking away from Callen.

"You arrested Tom?" She asked

Callen didn't want to lie to her. "Yes, he's in the boatshed with Kensi, Sam and Deeks.

"Does he remember what he did to me?" she whispered.

"They haven't started the interrogation yet."

Nell turned to face Callen "Can you take me to the boatshed?"

"The boatshed.."

He knew what she was thinking.

"Nell that's not a good idea. I need to get you back to my place you need to rest. You've been through alot." he said.

"I need to face him Callen. I need him to see what he did to me. If I don't do it now I don't know if I'll be able to face him."

Nell I..."

"Callen please.."

"I'll call Hetty but I'm not making any promises Nell."

Callen dialled Hetty's number.

"Hetty, its Callen. Nell wants to come to the boatshed and see Tom."

"That's not a good idea Mr Callen."

"She's insistent Hetty. She wants to face him. She wants him to see what he did to her."

"Oh Mr Callen and what happens if she has a flashback triggered by the PTSD she suffered when she sees him."

"Kensi, Deeks, Sam and I will be here to protect her and pull her right back Hetty. I promised Nell that I wouldn't let anything happen to her and I intend on keeping that promise."

"Mr Callen against my better judgement I'm going to allow this to happen. Don't let anything happen to her. I'll inform Mr Hanna, Mr Deeks and Ms Blye that you and Ms Jones are on your way."

"Thank you Hetty I won't." He said as he hung the phone.

"She said yes?"

Callen nodded. "Are you sure you're okay to do this Nell."

Nell nodded yes. "I have to do this. I want him to know what he did to me. It won't be easy but I've got you and everyone else there. If you guys are there I can do this."

Callen smiled and took her and squeezed her hand.

Cut to the boatshed.

Sam's phone rang. "Hetty, what's going on?"

"Mr Hanna, what's the situation with Tom."

"We've been letting him stew for a little while before we send Deeks in."

"Mr Callen and Ms Jones are heading to the boatshed."

"Hetty, that's not the best idea, especially not for Nell right now."

"I understand that Mr Hanna, however it was Ms Jones's idea, reluctantly back by Mr Callen. Ms Jones wants to face Tom with the support of you, Mr Callen, Mr Deeks and Ms Blye. She feels that with this support she will be able to face him to show him what he has done to her."

Sam exhaled. "Alright how far out are Callen and Nell."

"Approximately 15 minutes Mr Hanna. Please get something out of him before Ms Jones and Mr Callen's arrival."

"We're on it Hetty" Said Sam as hung up the phone.

Sam turned to Kensi and Deeks. "Callen and Nell are on the way. We need to get something out of him before they arrive. Let's go Deeks."

Deeks grabbed a folder off the desk and headed into interrogation with Sam as Kensi looked on via the camera feed

"You have the wrong man friend. I'm dating Nell. I didn't assault her. I didn't even see her last night."

Sam got fired up and pulled Tom out of his seat and backed up against the wall. "I ain't your friend. She was attacked and raped last night. We have video of you entering her apartment." Sam continued to hold him against the wall. He pulled the photos of a bruised a beaten Nell and shoved them in his face. "Are you going to stand there and tell me that you didn't do any of this? That you didn't beat her you didn't rape her."

"I don't remember."

"Liar!" he said as he tightened his grip

"Sam! Let him go." Sam didn't move. "Sam!"

Sam let go of his grip as he moved off to the corner of the room.

"Sit down" said Deeks as he took as seat on the other side of the interrogation table.

"Tell me what you do remember from last night."

"I was at a function for the DOD. I had had a couple of drinks and I was headed home and then I woke up this morning to hear you guys banging on my door."

"Why did you run?" asked Deeks

"Because you said you were federal agents. I had busted knuckles I thought I'd hurt someone."

"You did. You want to see some photos of the damage you caused." Said Deeks as he pulled out extra photos of Nell from the file.

"I'm telling you I don't remember." He said as he pushed the photos aside.

"Sit tight" said Deeks as he left the photos behind and he and Sam exited the interrogation room.

Kensi was watching the interview when she heard the door open. Callen and Nell walked in. Nell tried to cover herself as she saw Kensi in the main space of the boatshed and she saw Deeks and Sam come out the hallway. The 3 of them walked up to Nell.

"Hi" she said in soft tone.

"Hi Nell." Said Kensi, Deeks and Sam one after the other.

As Sam took a step towards Nell she took a step towards Callen and grabbed onto his arm, which didn't go unnoticed by Kensi, Deeks or Sam. "Are you sure you want to do this."

Nell nodded. "I can do this as long as you guys are there with me." She said as she tried to put on a strong voice.

"We got your back Nell." Said Sam

"Anything you need" Said Kensi

"Anytime you need it" Said Deeks.

Callen turned to Nell and bent down to reach her eye level. "Are you sure" he asked

Nell took a breath in and nodded.

"Alright" Said Callen as he stood by her side with her hand tightly holding onto his arm as they made their way towards interrogation. Following right behind them one next to the other was Deeks, Kensi and Sam. They stood in front of the door as Callen turned the knob and the door swung open. Nell took at breath and entered the room with the team, her surrogate family right behind her.
