Disclaimer: I do not own G Callen, Dominic Vail, Hetty, Sam Hanna, Kensi, Nate, Eric, Director Vance or anything that has to do with the show. However I do own Caitlyn.

I have revised and fixed this chapter... so I hope it's a little bit better.


Chapter 1

Caitlyn was annoyed as she looked around and noticed that there was no one there. She was biting her lower lip as she checked her watch for the millionth time but it showed the same thing, her contact was late. She was getting more and more angry with how things were going. She had just come off an intense undercover operation and she had been informed that they wanted to see if any of her contacts knew the whereabouts of a missing NCIS agent. Special Agent Dominic Vail, an NCIS agent who was a rookie, had been kidnapped a while ago, while she was so deep undercover that no one was able to ask for her help then. Now she was out of the undercover issue and she was working on looking for this missing rookie. She slammed her fist into the wall angrily as she finally started walking away only to walk straight into someone she knew very well.

"Callen you better have a good reason for being down here." Caitlyn growled really pissed off.

"I heard you were undercover." Callen said softly. "I heard you got hurt pretty badly on the way out. How are you?" He asked as he noticed her left eye was swollen halfway shut, her right hand was heavily bandaged, there was bandage on her head, and he knew from the report that her ribs were heavily taped.

"I have been through worse, you know that." Caitlyn shrugged her shoulders as she started walking, Callen fell into step beside her.

"I heard they asked you to find Dom." Callen said with a sigh.

"You knew him?" Caitlyn asked surprised.

"He was on my team, my responsibility. He was Kensi's partner." Callen said nodding his head.

"I'm sorry G. I know how much you hate to lose someone on your team." Caitlyn said with a wince. "I am going to try my hardest to find a lead or anything I can on your missing agent. Was he a friend?"

"I didn't know him long, I had been out on leave when he was hired. Ethan Stanhope betrayed his country and tried to have me killed. When I came back there he was. He needed to be taught, he was a rookie and I pretty much failed him Caitlyn." Callen admitted softly.

Caitlyn sighed, she had told herself she wouldn't give in to him again but as she looked at him broken and completely down on himself she had to make him feel better. She knew that her heart was going to be broken at the end of this whole thing, like it was every time she and Callen saw each other. Caitlyn had met him during an undercover case, he was also undercover for NCIS while she worked for the CIA. They had crossed paths and had ended up getting really close. When the case came to a close Caitlyn went back to her normal look, the blonde hair and deep blue eyes and Callen had asked her out. He said he was breaking his rule about not dating cops because of her.

They had dated briefly and Caitlyn still missed those days. She remembered the first time they had made love and she longed to be in his arms again. She knew it would be easy, G would love to be in her bed again but she couldn't do that. If she did that her heart would never recover and it had taken her a long time to get over losing him. She had actually thought they would get married and start a family, but in the end her job had scared him away and she would not leave her job because it was who she was. She needed to find someone who excepted that and that meant that Callen was not the soul mate she had thought he was.

"Caitlyn, I know that if anyone can find Dom, it's you." Callen said as he kissed her on the cheek and then he turned and walked the other way from her. She stopped where she was and frowned. Callen was trusting her to find his friend and his agent. He had never answered her about whether he was a friend or not, and Caitlyn knew that meant he was.


A few days later Caitlyn was sitting in front of her lap top computer. She had been tracking movements of some people she thought might have been responsible for the whole thing. She had hacked into bank accounts and everything, trying to track someone who might have made a large with drawl of money, the amount used to pay for the kidnapping of Dominic Vail. She wasn't having any luck but she knew it was only a matter of time. She looked up when she heard a weird sound and immediately her hand closed around her gun. She deleted the hard drive on her computer, wiping everything clean and taking the USB drive and making sure it was un findable by anyone she didn't want to find it. She had a gut feeling she was about to be in a huge fight, and she was sure that this was someone who wanted to know how far she had gotten in locating the missing agent.

Without showing themselves whoever was in there opened fire, gun shots rang out through her house and Caitlyn was taking cover. She reached for her phone but she noticed something weird, the person shooting was one of hers. The CIA wanted a cover up, which meant they knew where Agent Vail was. Caitlyn should have known that they were involved, Caitlyn wasn't supposed to survive her last mission and yet she had. They needed to find something that would get her killed, why not this where they could kill her their selves.

Caitlyn didn't know how to contact G and therefore she was on her own. She was pissed off. She fired back and saw the agent fall but his backup was getting closer. Caitlyn grabbed the USB drive and jumped through her living room window. She realized she must have gotten to close, which meant, Caitlyn had to know something she didn't know she knew. There was something she had heard, or something she had seen that she wasn't supposed to that had to do with Dominic Vail and the CIA wanted her eliminated.

"Well it's time to fight back. If they want a fight, then let's give them a fight." Caitlyn said with a pissed off look on her face as she climbed into her flight car. She had cars hidden everywhere that were untraceable. She was going to use an alias for a while and she was going to solve this case, without the resources she usually had from the CIA. She had a feeling that when she was done, someone inside the CIA was going to be sorry they ever messed with her, she promised.
