"The thought had crossed my mind, especially since Sam can't do it himself," Derek answered. Callen might have a lot of self-restraint, but Derek knew that if anything got him to lose it, it would be an attack on his lover.
"I figured I could remove you from the situation and actually discuss something. We know that Brian is lying, but we have two more people in there with powers that we know of: Tim and Deeks.

I'll make Tim speak and then we press Brian. What do you think?"
