past lives
when a case reveals a past a certain tech wanted to stay hidden how will the team react and will they help him through it?
AN : I do not own ncis la if I did Eric would have much more story lines!
AN no.2 : in this story Eric is 20 and is the youngest however no one but Hetty know his true age (yet)
previously on ncis la:
"Hetty our new case its him he's back." the was a pause. I know because there was a not with my real name which only a handful of people know including him and my fake name." there was another pause" yes its time to tell the team but I need your help with it" "okay thank you"
after the phone call the agents all started to ask questions and were demanding answers. Eric ignored them and ordered everyone out except the team and Nell. he went and sat in his chair until Hetty came. oh how he wished he had went surfing this morning as Hetty wouldn't let him go for a while now.
Eric was sitting in his chair waiting for Hetty to turn up while the team were discussing what they had heard on their side of the phone call.
"Could everything we know about Eric be false?" asked Nell who looked close to tears.
I don't know Nell I just don't know" Callen and Sam started to comfort her.
Kensi and Deeks were looking at Eric. His face was blank from emotion. They had never seen him like always had a smile on his face. He seemed to never get angry or sad. What had changed in this small space off time to cause all what they thought they know about their young friend to be wiped away? There were only two people who could answer that question. Hetty, who probably wont tell the team straight away, and Eric who currently seemed to be lost in his mind and thoughts.
At that moment Hetty walked in. before the team could start voicing their thoughts Hetty put her hand up stopping them in their tracks. She walked over to Eric, who hadn't noticed Hetty.
"Mr beale come back" persuaded Hetty. Eric hadn't seemed to have heard her and was still staring into space.
"Eric wake up he isn't here. your team need you" Them four special words seemed to wake Eric from his sleep and he started to look around just beginning to remember when he was. He saw Nell Callen Sam Deeks and kensi all staring at him in concern and confusion but he wasn't up to answering their question at this very moment. It wasn't that he didn't know what to stay or how to stay it, it was the fact he couldn't work out how the team would react. Would them hate him and kick him from the team or would they decide he was broken and not worth having in ops as he may have a breakdown? He started to shake but when Hetty put her hand on his arm he calmed down.
"Hetty he's back. He's going to get me again he knows my identity. He might know the teams. Why? Why?"
"Mr Beale its going to be fine he wont get you again. You will be completely fine and so will the rest of the team. You have nothing to worry about"
" But I do Hetty!" shouted Eric. This shocked the team as they had never heard Eric shout. " While I am here the whole team is at risk and I cant have that. this team is my family and if they got hurt because I was stupid enough to trust someone then I would never forgive myself!" This shocked the team even more. They knew that they had a close relationship but they never thought Eric thought of them as family. Callen caught Hetty's attention long enough to ask if he can come talk to Eric. At Hetty's silent permission Callen went and crouched down in front of Eric.
"Eric trust us tell us who this man is and we will protect you. We will make sure he wont get to you or the team and we will make sure that everyone you love is safe"
"Callen why is he back I don't know if I can deal with it again"
"I don't know buddy but can we just know his name please then we can do everything in our power to help you."
"His name is ummm Jonathan wright. Born 12 October 1954. Husband to lily wright nee Evans born 20 July 1953, father to Jacob Caleb wright born 1st January 1985 Hannah Lilian wright born 10 December 1986 and Ethan Nathaniel wright born 11th august 1995."
"Thank you Eric. one more question okay. How do you know him?"
"I think I will answer this one Mr beale why don't you go lie down for a minute. Go your little room and rest" As Eric went through a door on the other side of the room Hetty started to bring up a file named E. N. Wright.
"Team meet Ethan wright youngest son of Jonathan wright."
as the picture came up there was a collective gasp of shock from all in ops
"But that's Eric" gasped Kensi " Why is there a picture of Eric under a name that isn't Eric?" Kensi wanted to know why her little brother had a case file under a different name.
"At age 7 Ethan was found in a house close to death after being beaten by his father. He was taken to St Christopher's hospital and was found to have 2 broken ribs a broken arm and leg concussion and he couldn't speak. At first it was thought his vocal chords were broken but he was just to scared to talk to anyone. When he was healed he was sent to a foster home were he was fostered then returned five times in one week all because he wouldn't speak. By the time he was ten he hadn't spoken a word an been to about 20 foster homes. The only thing he would do was work on a computer and hack the carers phones to send them messages through it. The carers decided to make him do the Mensa test which he scored 190 on and it was decided that he would be adopted by one of the agencies. That was the first time I met Mr beale and he has worked for ncis since as he got the highest mark on every single exercise known including shooting. now any questions?"
"Hetty why didn't we know about this before?" asked Callen
"Me and the director decided that the information was confidential and for Mr Beale's safety we decided no would know."
"Does Eric not trust us?" asked Nell.
"Its not that I don't trust you its just I find it hard to trust people as the only people I had ever trusted with any information about my past life was Hetty and the director." At the sound of his voice the team turned and looked at Eric
"Mr beale your meant to be resting."
"I want to help answer questions" was the simple reply
"Eric what is your actual age?"
" I am twenty"
"What happened to your siblings?"
"Hannah was sent to another foster home and i never heard from her again and jacob well you just saw what happened to him."
"Right enough questions lets go find this bastard before he kills again or harms our little family!"
