Double Standards

Chapter 6

"Stop looking at me like that. Are you going to help me?"

Callen smiled, standing behind Nell and placing his hands over Nell's, to show her how to hit properly.

"Right. Okay. So, you want to bend your hips. Keep your arms straight. Now, your legs should be in a slightly open stance. That's right. Now, you just want to lightly tap the ball. Don't hit it too hard, because you're fairly close to the hole already." He instructed.

Nell nodded, against Callen's chest, considering he was still standing behind her.

Callen moved away and to the side, watching as Nell followed Callen's instructions, and putted the ball straight into the hole.

"Yay! I got it!" Nell stated happily, making Callen smile, as he went back to the start to have his turn.

"You're really good at this. Do you play gold often?" Nell asked, once they had passed their second last course.

"Yeah, once every few weeks, Sam and I have a day of playing golf out on the field." Callen admitted.

Nell smiled, as they walked to the last course.

Nell walked up and put her purple golf ball at the starting point, and in one, swift motion, putting the ball up the ramp, letting it go through a small tunnel, and up to the top, before dropping back down, taking a turn for the right, and dropping to go back to the reception.

Callen then took his turn, as his ball did the same, but turned to the left, dropping back to the reception, as a loud noise came across a hidden speaker that was hidden in the bushes next to the course.

Nell jumped, slightly frightened by the loud noise.

"Stand up for something. Even if it means standing alone. Because often times, the one who flies solo, has the strongest wings." The voice spoke, before the speaker turned off.

"Isn't that a quote that they use in the marines? You know, as motivation?" Nell asked.

Callen nodded, "Yeah, now that I think of it, it is."

"So, where is this supposed to lead us? I'm assuming this is our last clue, considering this is our tenth clue." Nell asked.

"I have no idea. But, I'm assuming it has something to do with flying, considering that flying and wings is basically the only part of the clue, that can actually lead us somewhere." Callen commented.

"True. But it's not like we have wings and can just fly everywhere. We're not ninjas like Hetty." Nell stated.

Both Nell and Callen leant back against the building, looking around for any idea of where to go next.

"That building." Callen spoke, causing Nell to look in the direction of which Callen pointed.

"What about it?" Nell questioned.

"It has a helipad. Come on!" He stated, grabbing Nell's hand and running with her to the building next to the mini-golf club.

Callen and Nell ran into the building, of which seemed to be a shopping mall, as they quickly ran to a side door and up the stairs, hoping that they would then be lead to the roof of the building, where Callen had determined, a helipad waits.
