Turn of Events

Callen took the opportunity of Hetty's distraction to leave the property and drove off to the other safe house. He hoped that whoever had leaked his sister's real identity had no knowledge of the safe house on the beach. He knew it was another of Hetty's properties, but he wasn't as confident that it's location was as secure as the one he had just left.

Beverly Hills

Senator Daniel Tate pulled into the driveway of the Doheny Road property from Nell's directions. He parked his car beside the entrance to the grand building and climbed out. He looked around impressed by the property, and he was curious from his own perspective on moving into this much sought after location, after the explosion in Manhattan Beach that morning. Yet he knew the cost of such property would be out of his reach.

Nell lead Daniel, Christian and Chloe to the front door and pressed the buzzer. She was surprised to see the driveway empty, knowing that Callen had called to tell her that he had made it safe in Sam's challenger. Yet it was the presence of their Operations Manager that puzzled her. "Hetty."

"Miss Jones. Senator." She smiled at her guests and led them through to the rear. "Your wife and sons are out back with your parents."

Daniel Tate tilted his head at the petite woman. "You brought them here too? You think that they're in danger also?"

Hetty's expression fell and nodded. "Indeed they are, Senator. Whoever has revealed your wife's true identity has placed all of you in grave danger."

Daniel placed his hand onto her arm. "You know who she really is?"

Hetty nodded and a small smile appeared. "It didn't take me long, Daniel, to know who she really is. She reminds me so much of her mother, although she looks very much like her father and brother."

"So it's true then. The agent who arrived on your yacht earlier, he's her brother?"

Hetty's smile grew, spreading to her eyes. "Yes. You noticed the family resemblance too?" She looked to Christian and Chloe, who had puzzled expressions on their faces from the discussion between their father and the lady of the house. "It is nothing to worry about, my dears. Your mother has been reunited with her brother this morning. We'll all do our best to ensure you remain safe from whoever is after your mother." She pointed to the gazebo and watched the older children join their mother in a comforting hug, relieved that she was safe after her ordeal.

"Where is he?" Daniel looked around expecting to see his wife's brother. He remembered those same piercing blue eyes that his wife and sons possessed, in the agent.

Hetty looked around and realised he was no where to be seen. She looked to Nell. "Miss Jones, did Mr Summers tell you that he would be going somewhere?"

Nell had remained quiet up to that point absorbing the conversation between her boss and the Senator. She had noticed the similarity also with the Senator's wife and older son, Christian, but after all the searching she had done for Callen off the clock, she had never thought that they would ever actually find his sister. Ever since she had known him, it had been her little project to help Callen find any family. He refused to believe that Amy was really dead. He admitted to her, when she had asked him why he thought she was still out there, that in his gut he believed that she was still alive. And she knew from the years on the team to trust Callen's gut instincts. How many times had Callen head butted against Granger because Granger wanted to go against Callen's gut and he was right? She had lost count and saw the respect Owen Granger now had for their team leader. Then Callen told her about the time he had bumped into Hetty at the cemetery and how Hetty had asked him directly why he hadn't changed the gravestone to his sister's name. When he had admitted to her that he believed her to be out there somewhere, Hetty's reaction told him that he had been right. Hetty had quickly changed the subject and he had let her. He knew Hetty had more answers for him and he would continue to shadow her in hope that he would find the truth. Nell had agreed to assist him, seeing she too had developed a close relationship with the former spy legend. Together they had spent many hours into the night searching and tracing Hetty's steps, but they had come up blank. Now here she was at the same location with the real Amy Callen and her family. The electrical current surged through her synapses, placing all the intel in with her previous knowledge and analysing all the data together. Hetty was never told who Hannah Tate really was, but she had concluded that she really was Amy Callen/Summers. She took a deep breath to answer her boss with a look of surprise in her eyes. She shook her head. "No. I was expecting him to be here." She felt a pang of jealousy that he hadn't added her into his plan and concluded that he still hadn't built enough trust for her to tell her. "I'll call him." She picked up her cell and dialled the number, while Hetty led the Senator outside to rejoin with the rest of his family.
