This idea has been rolling around in my head for a couple of weeks. I might have a few ideas with the other characters but I haven't worked them out. This one however showed up completed when I thought it through the first time.

"Get to the choppa!" Sam yelled as he returned fire.

"It's an airplane." G yelled.

Deeks ducked behind the car and looked at Sam. "Is he serious?"

"He doesn't watch movies much." Sam responded.

"It 'Predator'. It is the greatest action film to star two governers." Deeks shot one of the guys slowly trying to get around their flank.

"What about 'Running Man'?" Sam asked as he reloaded his M4.

"'Running Man'? Is that a serious question?" Deeks shot back.

"Will you two shut up and get on the plane!" Kensi yelled breaking cover and scampering up the ladder to the cargo craft.

Sam was the last to get on board the aging DC-10. Deeks and Callen helped haul him in as the plane was already moving. Bullets bounced off the wings and a couple actually penetrated the skin causing the four agents to jump.

As the plane clawed for altitude Sam slumped down onto one of the seats bolted to the wall.

"Well, that went well." Callen said looking around the cabin.

"I see why you left the CIA. This operation was screwed from the word go." Deeks said.

"At least it's just Mexico, we will be in American airspace in fifteen minutes." Sam responded.

"Thank goodness for small favors." Kensi breathed out.

The group settled in for the flight across the border.

The relatively calm flight was interrupted by a loud bang. As they look out the window they could see the right engine on fire. Sam jumped up and ran to the cockpit. As he stuck his head in the cockpit the pilot turned to him.

"Fire bottles aren't working. We've got to bail. I'm climbing as high as this bird will go, then we jump. Get in the chutes."

Sam turned and ran back to the group. He began pulling chutes from the cargo netting and throwing them to the team.

"Rig up. We've got to bail."

Sam decided to put his chute on first then help Deeks. That way if everything fell apart he could rig Deeks to his harness and then jump tandem. As he secured the last strap he looked up and saw Deeks check Kensi's chute and then she checked his.

"What the hell?" Sam screamed.

Deeks just looked at him and shrugged his shoulders. "What?"

Sam checked Callen's chute and then let Callen check his. About that time the pilot came out of the cockpit and strapped on his own parachute.

"We jump now." He yelled. "This plane is going to burn or explode. Keep the sun on your left and you will stay in American airspace." With that he pointed to the rear door.

Sam opened the door and motioned for everyone to jump. Kensi went first, followed by Deeks, then Callen, then the pilot with Sam jumping last.

The trip to the ground was uneventful for the group, but watching the plane crash into the ground below after the right engine finally exploded was quite the light show.

Sam was the last to land. They all landed within a couple hundred feet of one another. He troted over to the group.

"Ok." He interrupted the conversation they were having. "Callen did jumps with the CIA. Kensi has gone to jump school simply because she was on a training kick." Sam turned to Deeks. "Why do you know how to jump?"

"It's just one of those…"

Sam saw the look on Deeks face change. It was a mix of embarrassment and shyness, two qualities that Deeks didn't possess. That's when it hit Sam. "NO!?"

Deeks face turned scarlet.

"What?" Kensi asked, confused.

"That movie was so bad Deeks. So bad." Sam started.

"That movie was awesome!" Deeks yelled and then quickly went silent realizing what he had done.

"Can someone clue me in?" Callen asked looking between Deeks and Sam.

"There was a movie called 'Point Break'. It starred Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. Reeves played a cop who went undercover as a surfer to infiltrate a bank robbery crew led by Swayze. The crew also sky dived."

Callen just started laughing.

"You've got to be kidding?" Kensi exclaimed before giving into her own laughter.

Sam pointed a finger at Deeks. "You wanted to be Johnny Utah."

Deeks had finally had enough. "I am Johnny Utah. I'm an undercover detective that surfs, sky dives, fights crime, and gets the girl." Deeks shot a look at Kensi who almost immediately stopped laughing.

That sent Callen into another bout of chuckles.

Sam became serious. "How many jumps Deeks?"

"187, including this one."

That stopped Callen's laugher. "187? Good grief. That's double my jumps."

Sam took a guess. "You got instructor certification, didn't you?"

"For about a year."

"You are just full of surprises, Deeks." Sam said shaking his head.

Kensi looked at Deeks in surprise. "You thank you know a person."
