Double Standards

Chapter 20

  Deeks chuckled, "no, but Nell does. How's it going, Nell?" He acknowledged. 

Nell nodded, "what are you guys doing back so soon? I thought you were getting doughnuts or whatever?"

"And we did. And now we're back. We're leaving to go out with the others in two hours, so ditch this guy soon, yeah?" Deeks spoke, causing a punch in the shoulder from Kensi.

"Please excuse my friend here. He's just jealous. Have fun, Nell. We'll see you later. Text me if you change your mind about drinks tonight." Kensi smiled, pushing Deeks to keep walking.

Sam laughed, "see you later, Nell." He nodded, following Kensi and Deeks back to the part of the hotel that their rooms were stationed at.

"I'm assuming those are your friends?" Dylan guessed. 

"Haha, yeah. They are. When they aren't being annoying." Nell laughed. 

Dylan smiled, as his phone started ringing, "sorry, but I should take this."

"Oh no, please do." Nell insisted. 

Dylan pulled his phone out of his pocket, answering the call, "yeah Felice?" 

"I don't start for another ten minutes." Dylan tried. 

"Right. Yeah, okay. I'm on my way." He spoke into the phone before hanging it up. 

"Sorry, that was my assistant. The computer technicians that were supposed to come to fix the computer servers never showed. I have to go and try to figure out a plan." Dylan spoke, standing up from the table. 

Nell nodded, "I have a plan." 

"You do?" Dylan asked. 

Nell nodded, "yes. Me. I have some experience in the area of computers and technology. You can trust me, I'm qualified." 

Dylan looked taken back, "are you sure? I mean, I can find someone else." 

Nell shook her head, "no, honestly. It's fine. Come on, show me to these computers. We'll have it fixed in no time." 

Dylan nodded, "alright, that would be great. Thank you." He spoke, walking with her to an office, of which she assumed would be where the broken servers were. 

Nell's eyes lit up, "Wow." Was the only thing she could bring herself to say.

"This is some high class tech for a hotel branch." Nell commented, in complete admiration for the technology of which she thought fitted the word 'stunning' perfectly.

Dylan chucked, "what can I say? We here, at the hotel, like to be efficient." 

Nell smiled, "this brings a whole other level to efficiency." She commented, walking up to the computer, and running her hand softly across the keyboard, appreciating the equipment in front of her.

"So, I know nothing about technology, which means, I know nothing about what is actually going on with the servers. My assistant has tried to explain it a few times, however-"

"You were uninterested and didn't pay attention. Not to worry. I'll have a look and see what's going on." Nell smiled reassuringly. 

"Hmm, beautiful, polite and smart. What else could a guy want?" Dylan joked, however Nell could tell that there was some seriousness in his voice.

Nell chuckled a laugh, "don't get too cocky." She teased. 

Nell sat down, clicking away at a few buttons on the keyboard. Okay maybe a few was an understatement, but she did it so quickly, she was finished in less than a minute.
