Re: Neal and Derek
Derek snorted. "You don't have to report for an evaluation until tomorrow, but that doesn't meant that you don't have to talk to me. I need to know where your head is in case something happens." He moved closer so that everyone else would see his back and kept his stance relaxed. "I get that he was your friend and partner. I understand that you want to be left alone, but I still have to make sure that if something happens, you aren't going to get yourself or someone else killed."
He nodded. "We will. She should be alone just as much as you," he said. "As I said, this is temporary. We'll work out something when Callen comes back." They had to worry about all the people at the hotel as well. "For tonight, we'll make sure, you are both with company."
