Deeks sat in his car waiting for Quinn or for Bates to show up. This mole hunt that Hetty has him on has been tearing him up inside. He had to lie to Kensi, make her believe that he shot an unarmed man. She wanted to talk about their thing, but he just couldn't let her do that when things are based on a lie.
He looks up as she enters his car. He smiles as he attempts small talk in order to decide just how upset she is with him. Sometimes it seems as if figuring out their thing is 3 step forward, 2 steps back. But he is patient and if there is anything worth the love it is worth the fight. Suddenly Bates arrives wearing a leather jacket and a baseball cap. The picture of the mole meeting with Fisk lawyer is wearing a baseball cap and a leather jacket.
Marty frowns, " I can't believe it, Bates really is the mole."
Kensi notices that there is something off with Marty. But it is probably just shock. She knows that she would be shocked if it ever turns out that Hetty is a mole. Sometimes, she feels Hetty is manipulative all for the greater good or so she claims. She does know that Hetty would always to her best to protect them at all cost.
"I am going to go confront him." Marty states with a weird determination as he exits the car.
Kensi nods and follows keeping a safe distance, but also keeping an eye on things. As she sneaks up to the meeting she notices a baseball cap and a leather jacket on the front seat of a car. Quick call in to Eric confirms that the car belongs to John Quinn. John Quinn is the mole, Bates and Deeks have walked right into a trap. She calls to her team letting them know what is up. She knows Deeks is in Danger, but from what. Callen and Sam inform her that some of the RDX is missing and Quinn had access to it. The explosives have to be nearby, but where? That is when she notices a car close to where Deeks and Bates are arguing. That is it.
"Bates! Deeks! You have to move! The car is wired to explode!" She screams as she gets closer to them.
Deeks and Bates runs from the car as it explodes. Deeks gives Bates a push and gets him further from the explosion. Bates gets up from the ground to see Deeks lying on the ground and Kensi tending to him. Nell had informed her that they called for an ambulance.
"What happened?" Bates asks never taking his eyes off of Deeks.
"Quinn is the mole." Kensi states her voice broken. "He set you both up."
Bates is ready to kill Quinn. He played him for a fool. Quinn shows up to see the damage he has done. He had 2 reasons for going after Bates the way he did. 1) Get him off Clarence Fisk case and 2) To get him away from Angela Tully. Marty was just collateral damage.
Kensi gets up from the ground and pulls her gun on Quinn. Bates backs her up. Sam and Callen arrive with there weapons drawn. Quinn pulls out his gun, but before he could do anything all 4 shot him.
"What was he thinking, to pull a gun out when he had 4 weapons aimed at him." Kensi wonders.
"He was thinking suicide by cop. His life is over. An Internal Affairs investigator to be a mole and on the payroll of a man like Clarence Fisk." Callen states.
The ambulance arrived during the shootout with Fisk, but held back until the situation was under control. They immediately went to work on Deeks who still hasn't woken up. The paramedics ready him for transport.
"I am going with him." Bates states.
"Sir," the female paramedic began.
"He is my son." Bates cries.
The paramedic nods and he hops into the ambulance.
"He's What?" Kensi gasps shocked.
Sam and Callen are also shocked by that statement. But they will get there answers at the hospital.
