NCIS:Los Angeles-Agents in Danger(a fanfic)

Chapter 12-Cautious

Hetty's POV

Oh, thank heavens Ella is okay! I'm not happy abut her being in hospital for 2 weeks though, I might have to speak to the hospital. Her room is currently open, so anyone could just walk in. Anyone dangerous, more to the point, could wander into her room and pull out a gun. Specifically, some allies of Mr Alan Dickinson could be planning to attack at any moment. There was a recent murder of a woman named Alicia Meakins. She was associated with Ella at one point, and the killers most likely wanted information on the whereabouts of my niece. I haven't informed Ella of this death, because all it would do is cause her more worry and stress. I have made my decision, I would speak to the head of department and get her moved out of hospital and intoma high security safehouse, provided my me.

Ella's POV

It was my fourth day in hospital, and it's so boring! All I could do all day was play on my iPad, and talk to Deeks through iMessage. It was amusing reading his texts, but when doesn't Deeks make me laugh? We still hadn't discussed our 'romancey thingy' as Deeks calls it, but I think he was just nervous, but I was too.I wanted to talk about it, because I had feelings for him that I couldn't understand. One minute Eric was being flirty, and the next Deeks and I had a thingy going in, it's confusing. Interrupting my thoughts, Nurse Electra came in. Her name was really cool. "Ella, you're being discharged! Your auntie spoke to the head of department, and you're going to be sent to some safe house place?" Wow, Hetty. She seemed paranoid. "Okay, cool! Thanks, Nurse!" I said, as she helped me get dressed. After I was dressed, Deeks walked through the door. "Hey Ella, you're getting out of here!"He announced, taking hold of me. "Bye, Nurse!" I said, as Deeks supported me while we exited the hospital. I was still confused about Eric's flirty behaviour in the hospital yesterday..

"Hey Ella! How are you today?" He asked, smiling. "I'm alright, thanks! How are you?" "Well, I'm fine now I know you're okay! I've been so worried! We had a short case, so I was stuck in Ops, thats why I couldn't see you. Sorry about that!" He said, apologetically. "Eric, It's fine, don't worry about me, I'm fine. That was really sweet" I said, smiling at him. "So, Ella, your hair looks cute today." He said, winking at me. "Oh, um thanks, styled by pillow today!" I said, giggling. "It actually looks naturally beautiful, like you!" He said, sweetly. Wow, what happened to Eric? "Aww, thanks! I'm a bit tired, so I'll see you later?" "Yeah, sure, bye Ells!" He said, exiting my room.

"Ells? You in there?" Deeks interrupted my train of thoughts. "What? Sorry, daydreaming." "Ohh, I get it, you were dreaming about my fluffy hair. I realise I'm that attractive, but pay attention! I was saying, I'm willing to talk about things now, however awkward it might be." He said, grinning and then becoming really serious. "Okay, Deeks, I think I love you, but if you like me too, I don't want to take things too quickly, if thats alright." He smiled. "Ella, I don't think I love you, I know it." He said, taking his eyes off the road to peck me on the cheek. "So cheesy but cute, how do you manage it?" I said, stroking his fluffy hair like a dog. "Well, here we are!"
