CHAPTER 2
Deeks, Kensi and Lara had arrived at the lieutenant's house and had started snooping to see if LAPD had missed anything.
"Nice house for a lieutenant." Deeks said looking at the big, old-fashioned cottage.
"Why with men is it always, "bigger the house" or "faster the car" the better?" Kensi asked with a tinge of sarcasm.
"Oh Kensi, Kensi, Kensi," Deeks said in reply to her "amateur" question, "you see the bigger your house, or faster your car, the cooler you are, therefore the manlier you are."
"What? Oh I'll never understand the childishness of some men." Kensi said, completely put off.
"Whoa, wait, what do you mean 'some' men?" Deeks asked, wondering what she was getting at.
"I mean, some guys, like you, can be really childish, while some guys like Callen and Sam are very responsible and act their age." Kensi said, as she examined a picture of the lieutenant and his girlfriend.
"Oh, so your saying that I'm childish and Callen and Sam are the responsible guys?" Deeks said, looking through the living room cabinets. "Whatever."
"Hey guys, come check this out!" Lara yelled from somewhere underneath them.
"That sounded like it came from under us." Deeks said, extremely confused.
"I'm in the basement!" Lara yelled from under them, "The door is in the master bedroom!"
"Did you know there was a basement?" Deeks asked as he and Kensi made their way to the basement door.
"No clue." Kensi replied.
They entered the master bedroom and saw a medium sized hole in the floor.
They made their way down the staircase very slowly, because their eyes were still adjusting to the light.
"Whoa, I don't see any yellow tape down here." Deeks said, as he reached the bottom of the staircase.
"Oh yeah, I don't think LAPD found this yet." Lara said, coming up to Deeks and Kensi.
"SO, how did you find it?" Deeks asked, looking at Lara questioningly.
"Oh, easy," Lara said, as she started walking around again. "When I was walking around upstairs the floor sounded hollow, right about where we are now."
"Huh." Deeks said, wondering whether to be impressed or intimidated by Lara's answer.
"Shouldn't we tell LAPD about this?" Kensi asked, looking at Deeks.
"I don't…" Deeks began, but was interrupted.
"Whoa," Lara said as she pulled away a curtain that was over a piece of the wall. "Check. this. out."
"Whoa," Kensi said, coming to stand next to Lara.
"What is it?" Deeks asked bluntly.
"Da!" Kensi said, "It's…" but was interrupted.
"It's every piece of information on the serial killer that we've been tracking for the past 5-6 years." Lara said, running her fingers over the info. "It's all here."
"I'll go upstairs and call Callen," Kensi said, getting out her phone. "I knew it, obviously no signal." She made her way upstairs and as soon as she reached the top, she started dialling.
"So, is there any new info?" Deeks asked, coming to stand next to Lara.
"Mm, it's hard to tell," Lara said, reading some of the info. "I'm going to have to get our file to compare and check."
"Oh," Deeks said, "but that could take hours right?"
"Maybe, depending on how fast I can read." Lara said, looking at a few images of previous victims.
"Well, you know what they say," Deeks began, "two heads, or in this case, eyes are better than one." He added, slowly shifting closer to Lara's side.
"I think you mean two pairs." Lara said, not really noticing how close Deeks was.
"Well, yeah." Deeks was just about to make his move, when Callen and Kensi started making their way down the stairs.
"Hey." Lara said, going over to Callen, leaving a disappointed Deeks behind.
"Hey," Callen said in reply, "Nice work finding this place."
"Thanks." Lara said, blushing a little. She hated being the centre of attention.
"When Kensi called, Sam and I headed back to NCIS to grab the case files." Callen said, handing a file to Lara.
"Speaking of Sam," Deeks said, coming closer, "Where is he?"
"He's trying to calm down a few LAPD officers," Callen said, looking through one of the files, "They say they need to get down here, and decorate with pretty yellow ribbons as soon as possible."
"Yeah, well, we'll be sure to finish up here as fast as we can." Lara said, looking from Callen to the pages of the file.
"Don't worry," Callen began, "They have to let us use it as long as possible to get all the info." Callen started closing the file, when Kensi came downstairs.
"Hey," Kensi said, coming over to the three of them, "As soon as I got upstairs, my phone started ringing."
"Yeah, and?" Callen asked, wondering what she was getting at.
"And, it was Hetty; apparently she had Eric look up work buddies. She wants us to go and question them."
"Alright," Callen said sighing, "Deeks, you and Lara stay here and grab the extra info, if any. Kensi, Sam, and I will go question the lieutenant's colleagues."
"OK." Deeks said, reading a file over Lara's shoulder.
Callen handed Deeks the file he had just been reading, and added, "Oh and Deeks, Lara is working with us, so no funny stuff."
"Oh please Callen," Deeks said as he took the file from the older man, "do you really think I'd stoop to that level?"
Callen looked at Deeks, smirking all the while. "Don't answer that." Deeks added.
