I'm coming out.

Chapter 10

"Then don't go back," Nikita said again reinforcing his statement to his son.

Callen looked up at him.

"I want to go back...dad…" he paused and shifted position so he and his father were face to face, "I love my job." he gave a resigned laugh.

"I loved my job, now everything is falling around my ears, I can't do it can I?" he asked, "I can't go back now, the government will now know that I am a natural born...She can't hide me…" Callen stopped and looked up horrified, "They are going to find out, they'll kill her!" he exclaimed standing up, "I need to go back, for her."

"If you go back and they haven't found out that this woman has helped you then going back could put her in danger." Nikita counselled.

"I told her...Hetty, I told her on the DVD I sent that I wasn't coming back, I told her I couldn't." He admitted, "I want to stay, with Michelle and Jacob,"

Nikita smiled and moved to the chair opposite his son. Leaning across the table he poured two drinks.

"Then stay, if in the future you need to go back, then by all means do so, but stay here help us in our work." He offered.

"But if the containment team find out Hetty helped hide me for all these years...they'll send her to Gitmo." he argued worried for her.

"Hetty Lange?" Nikita asked.

Callen nodded, "You know her?" he asked.

Nikita smiled, "She was your mothers ex-wife, Clara contacted her to get you and your sister out of Romania, but I thought she had died."

"No," Callen told his father, "She remarried and her wife works in the DNA marker testing center, she is the reason I had no idea I was natural born until recently. She's been changing my test results so that I wouldn't suffer the same fate as Amy, they tried with her but didn't know about the genetic markers until the containment team had Amy thrown onto the streets, she died when she was eleven in a storm," he admitted, looking away ashamed as he told his father of his sisters death.

"I knew moy syn, this is why I started the NBSCA over here, I was fighting the injustice I was seeing in Europe, but it needed to be dealt with over here as well, I know that some people in government departments have been helping where they can behind the scenes, but I never for one moment hoped that you would have made it alive and in a position in a government agency."

Callen took a sip of the drink in his hand.

"OK, I'm in and I'll help, but I need to call Hetty and tell her."

Nikita nodded and left the room so that Callen could make the call.

He talked to Hetty, shed a few tears but basically he told her he wasn't coming back, to get the files she had on him and the NBSCA and get them to him for her own safety.

Hetty had walked over in Nate's office to the filing cabinet and taken out all the files on Callen that she had.

"Are you sure you want to do this Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked her voice shaking, "There are other avenues," She closed the cabinet and locked it with her key.

"Someone in there is feeding information to the containment team, I have been told someone has burned my identity to the containment team and it might be dangerous for me to come back anyway." He informed her, it had been a shock to him when he'd heard that from his uncle, but felt he needed to tell her so they didn't kill her or worse.

Hetty's hands shook as she put the file in her bag, "I will leave immediately and bring this file to you, it will be safer with you than here. Do you know who is it that is working with the containment teams?" She asked.
