NCIS LA: The New Member Part II
"Good morning." Callen said kissing Alexa on the cheek. She moaned and rolled away.
"Good night." She mumbled. Callen chuckled and laid back down next to her.
"It's Monday, we have to work." Callen said turning his head towards her.
She rolled back to face him, eyes still closed.
Callen leaned over and kiss her again. This time on the lips. She smiled as their lips touched and kissed him back.
"Now that you're awake let's have breakfast." Callen said after pulling away and getting up.
"Dammit." She exclaimed. He put his hand out and she grabbed it. He pulled her out of the bed. They walked into the kitchen holding hands.
"Cereal?" He asked. She nodded.
Callen grabbed the cereal, two bowls, and two spoons. Alexa grabbed the milk. They sat down at the table.
"Good morning." Callen said. Alexa smiled and poured the milk into the bowls.
"Good morning." She replied and they dug in.
"Kens? Kensilina? Open up?" Deeks yelled through the door I Kensi's apartment. "Fern?" He banged on the door.
"What?" She exclaimed from behind him. He jumped as he turned around and saw her.
"Where the hell were you?" He asked.
"I went for a jog." She replied and
unlocked her apartment door. "Geesh someone doesn't know how to use a phone." She walked into her apartment.
Deeks followed and closed the door behind him. "I'm sorry if I didn't know my partner jogs in the morning." He rebutted. "Since when do you jog?"
"Since the last guy made us run ten blocks and I almost died of exhaustion." She screamed from her room.
"That's just cause you're fat." He yelled back. The moment it left his mouth, he regretted it. He ducked behind the couch. A heel landed right next to him.
"Really heels?" He exclaimed.
"Really fat?" She shouted.
"Touché." He said peeking over the couch. He ducks as she threw the other show at him. "Seriously you're going to make us late." He heard her room door close. He stood up and a pillow hit him across the face.
"Okay you got me can we go now." He said wiping his face.
"Yup." She said and strolled over to the door smiling. Deeks followed. They left the apartment.
Sam kisses his wife and daughter goodbye then walks out the door.
He arrives at work 10 minutes later to find everyone already there.
"What took you so long?" Callen asked.
"Just making sure my daughter got up in time for the bus." He replied. Callen smiled and nodded.
"So how's your first day as an official NCIS agent?" Deeks asked walking over to Alexa.
"It feels the same." She replied. He wrapped her in a tight hug. "Can't... breathe." He let go.
"Sorry." He said.
"It's ok monkey. I still love you." She smiled at him and pat his head. He smiled.
"Okay then." Kensi said awkwardly.
"Is this as weird for you as it is for me?" Sam said nudging Callen.
"You have no idea." Callen replied. Sam and Callen laughed.
WHISTLE!
Eric stands at the stop of the stairs. The team all turn to face him. He points to Ops "We have a case," then walks towards it.
They all walk up the steps and enter Ops. Nell is frantically typing into the computer. Eric walks over to the main screen.
"Okay so we have a missing drone." He says.
"A what!?" Sam exclaims. Everyone in Ops looks at him.
"A missing drone." Nell says. "To be more specific a no-man drone. They can be controlled anywhere. You just need the password and and Palm print of an official from flight officer."
"Are there any missing officers?" Callen asked.
"Mhm," Nell replies, "Officer Michael Peyton, he is divorced, one kid, Zach, wife's name is Sheril."
"Send us the..."Callen started.
PING!
"Address sent." Nell smiled then ran back to her computer.
"Okay then. Deeks, Kensi go find out how the drone just disappeared. Alexa, Sam, and I will visit the wife." Callen says.
"And break." Deeks says and clasps his hands together. Everyone looks at him and walks out of the room shaking their heads. "Come on. Seriously? Wait up Kens." He runs out after them.
Sam, Callen, and Alexa pull up to Peyton's house. Callen let's Alexa out through his side, putting her hand out he grabs it and pulls her out.
He closes the car door. They are still holding hands as they walk to the door.
Sam knocks on the door then turns to Alexa and Callen and looks at their hands.
"Um?" he said pointing at their hands. They look down and let go quickly.
"He... Um.." Alexa tried to speak, but the door opening cut her off. They all turned to the door.
"Can I help you?" A woman asked.
"Yes, are you Sheril Peyton?" Sam questioned.
"Yes, who are you?" She demanded.
"Were with NCIS. I'm agent Hanna, this is agent Callen and agent Alexa." He replied, pointing over to them.
"Did you find my husband?" She asked.
"No, we believe he may have been kidnapped to help with a terrorist attack." Callen said.
"What?!" She said, her hands went to her mouth. "Oh my god."
"May we come in?" Alexa asked politely. Sheril nodded and opened the door more. Sam, Callen and Alexa followed her into her living room.
Deeks and Kensi pulled up to the Navy drone intelligence center.
"How do you lose a drone?" Deeks asks.
"How do lose your heart?" Kensi countered.
"It's stolen from you... Oh." He said. A lightbulb went on in his head. Kensi shook her head and got out of the car. Deeks got out and followed her into the building.
"When was the last time you saw your husband?" Callen asked sitting down on the couch. Alexa sat on one side of him and Sam on the other.
"Two days ago. He called saying he would pick up Zach because he got off work early. Zach called me and said he was waiting. I called Michael, but he didn't answer." She replied. "I had to leave work and pick him up."
"Mom..." Zach said walking down the stairs.
"Hey sweetie. Did you finish your homework?" Sheril asked.
"Almost, when is dad coming?" He replied staring at the three strangers on his couch.
"I don't know, I'll call him later. Go finish your homework." She said.
"Okay." He replied and ran back up the stairs.
"I didn't want to say anything. He's been through enough either the divorce." Sheril told them clearing their confusing faces.
"Well if he calls or you see anything just let us know." Sam says getting up and handing her his card. She nods.
"We'll do our best to find him." Callen says getting up as well. Alexa gets up.
"Thank you." Sheril says and walks them to the door.
Sam turns on the car. Once Alexa is in and Callen closes the door, Sam turns to Callen.
"You have something to tell me PARTNER?" He questions.
"No?" Callen says confused. Alexa taps him on the shoulder.
"I think he knows." She says.
"Oh he knows." Sam replies. "What do I know?"
"Me and Alexa are dating." Callen says slowly.
"Really? How long?" Sam replies.
"Yeah." Callen says.
"About 3 months." Alexa says leaning through the middle of the car.
"What?!" Sam exclaims. Alexa and Callen laugh. "How did I not know this? Does Deeks know?"
"Because she only came around when she was in town and no he doesn't. I don't think he should." Callen explains.
"Yea, Marty can be a little over protective so If you don't mind?" Alexa added.
"Don't worry I got you. Now that I know we could go on double dates. Michelle will be so happy." Sam happily states.
"Oh brother." Callen says face palming himself.
Sam laughs and starts driving.
"When did you find out it was missing?" Kensi asked.
"About two days ago." A man replied.
"Where did you lose it?" Deeks asked.
"When it was flying over Russia." The man replied fidgeting a bit.
"Russia? Sgt. Morgan, why was the drone over Russia? Maybe Russian air took it down?" Deeks said.
"Impossible, we would've been alerted. And we don't fly it where they see us." Morgan replied.
"So how did you lose it exactly? It was in the air." Kensi questioned.
"Someone hacked the system. It had to be an inside job. No one else knew about the drone." Morgan answered.
"Do you think Peyton could be in on it?" Kensi asked.
"I don't know. He seemed like a good guy, but not everyone is what try seem nowadays." Morgan countered.
"Tell me about it." Kensi nodded.
"Well thanks for your time sir." Deeks said standing up. Kensi and Morgan stood up. Morgan shook their hands.
"My pleasure. Just find the drone before anyone figures this out." Morgan said as they walked to the door. They nodded and left.
They all meet up at hq and sit at their desks going through files and searching the internet.
"There's nothing that ties him to any terrorist organizations or any anti-American drone groups." Deeks says closes his laptop forcefully. He was tired and angry. They had been searching for hours now.
"Come on guys, we have a missing marine. Possibly dead, all because of a drone. What does it mean?" Callen stated, hoping an answer would arise.
"It means we're screwed because we don't know how or when he disappeared and whose behind it all." Kensi countered.
"Eric has checked kaleidoscope for Peyton's car and Peyton. I'll go see if he got anything." Alexa said getting up. Callen gets up too.
"I'll go with you I need to stretch my legs." He said. Alexa shrugged. Sam eyes them both and smiled. They looked at him awkwardly then walked up the steps to ops.
"Why were you looking at them like that?" Deeks asked Sam.
"Like what?" Sam questioned.
"I don't know you just stared at them smiling." Deeks said.
"Am I not allowed to look at people or smile?" Sam rebuttled.
"Whatever." Deeks said and put his head on his desk. "I'm sooooo tired."
"Quit whining." Kensi said getting up. She walked over to his desk to smack him but he was already asleep.
She quietly walked over to Sam and leaned in to his left ear. "So what WERE you looking at?" She emphasized the word were to get her point across.
"The cutest couple besides me and my wife." He whispered. She smile an went back to her desk.
"I knew it." She squeaked. She quickly covered her mouth as she heard Deeks snore. Kensi and Sam laughed.
They walked out of ops with a new address. They found Peyton's car through kaleidoscope, which Eric had stared at for the last 4 hours. Poor guy.
Alexa thanked him and her and Callen walked out of ops. She walked the opposite way of the stairs causing Callen to stop walking and turn around.
"Where are you going?" He said confused.
"Bathroom." She said pointing down the hall.
"Oh okay." He replied and quickly caught up to her. He interlocked their fingers and they turned the corner to the bathrooms.
"I actually have to go." She said. He chuckled and let go of her hand. She rushed into the bathroom.
He waited outside and leaned against the wall. When she came out she walked up to him and stood real close.
"You're so beautiful." He smiled. She blushed. He leaned in and kissed her lips. After a fees seconds they pulled away.
He took her had again and they walked back. At the stairs they let go of each others hands and walked down.
"We have a crime scene." Callen said.
"Let's go." Sam and Kensi said getting up.
"Wha..." Deeks said waking up. He wiped some drool from his face and got up. "What did I miss?"
They all laughed and walked to the door. "Seriously? Every time guys. Every time." He quickly followed them, not wanting to be left behind.
They arrived almost simultaneously to scene. Peyton's car was parked in a garage a few blocks from work.
"Alright Kensi, Deeks, start searching the area for evidence. Sam, Alexa, search the car. I'll go get the video footage from the security guards." Callen ordered.
Everyone nodded and headed to where they needed to be.
CRASH!
Sam used his elbow to break the window of the car. He moved away some glass before unlocking the car.
Alexa opened the door to the passenger side and started going through the glove compartment.
Sam opened the trunk. "Alexa." He said and walked over to the trunk. She looked up and followed.
Once they were both at the trunk Sam nodded to Alexa, who carefully opened.
"Thank God." Sam sighed in relief. It was empty. He was half thinking there'd be a body in there.
Alexa laughed and returned to digging through the car. Sam joined and went through the backseat.
Callen walked into the security room and found two guards staring at the screens. They turned when they heard the door close.
"Can we help you?" The first guard questioned.
"Yes," he took out his badge, "I'm special agent Callen. I need security footage from two days ago."
"Under what circumstances?" The second guard asked.
"There's a missing marine and if we don't find him, there might be a terrorist attack on out hands and yours if you don't give us the tap." Callen replied crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
The first guard typed into the computer and put a cd in. He took the cd out and handed it to Callen.
"I hope this helps sir." He said shaking as Callen took the cd."
"Thanks." Callen smiled and walked out.
"Is this blood?" Deeks called out.
Kensi walked over and looked at the red dot, then kicked it with her shoe.
"Nope."
"I can't find anything. It's been two days evidence has been walked over, driven over, puked on?" He said stopping by a puddle of bloody old puke.
"Puke? Oh!" Kensi said coming behind him.
"Evidence?" Deeks said.
"Evidence." Kensi nodded the pinched her nose to avoid the smell.
"It wasn't Peyton's blood?" Sam said.
"Nope." Nell replied reexamining the blood report.
"Then whose is it?" Callen asked.
"Searching now." Eric piped in without looking up from his computer.
Nell sat at her computer and started typing.
DING!
"Got it." Eric yelled. Everyone turned to face him. "The blood belongs to..." He pauses.
"To who Eric?" Sam asked.
"Spit it out." Deeks says. Eric frowns at him.
"C'mon Eric." Alexa says nicely.
"It's Sgt. Morgans blood." Eric mutters.
"Peyton's boss?" Kensi exclaims. Eric nods.
"That explains a lot actually." Callen buts stares at him. He sighs. "Ok I guess I'll have to explain then." They all nod.
"Sgt. Morgan is in charge, but he can't fly the drone only the officer who flies it. That's the only persons prints on the drone. If Sgt. Morgan plans to sell the drone he needs Peyton's print. So he holds him til the deals done."
Everyone blinks and keeps staring. Nell and Eric start typing again.
"There is a lot of communication between him and a known Russian terrorist group." Nell says.
"He's selling their information back." Sam says.
"Let's go get Peyton back." Alexa says as she starts walking out. Everyone follows.
Sgt. Morgan was now in the boatshed interrogation room.
Sam and Callen were inside with him.
Alexa, Deeks, and Kensi watched the
screen outside.
"Where is he?" Callen said sitting across from Morgan.
"I don't know." He replied.
"We found the emails and wire transactions. Just tell us where he is and you might not get the death penalty." Sam said leaning on the table.
"I swear I don't know. They took him. He was part of the deal. They'd let him go when it was done." Morgan cried.
"Who is they?" Callen asked. "Russians?"
"Yes, some Russian named Avri." He replied. "Avri Zubarev."
"The same Avri who blew up a navy airship?" Sam asked. Morgan nodded.
"Where is he now?" Callen said getting up.
"Last I know he was at the Taylor Motel. Down on 7th." Morgan said.
Callen and Sam walked out of the room.
"Alexa you should ride with us." Deeks said as thy all made their way to the door. Alexa and Kensi looked at him questioningly. "So she doesn't have to squish in the back of Sam's car."
"And you're telling me this now?" Alexa asked smacking him on the shoulder.
"Ow." He replied grabbing his arm.
"Is he always this slow?" Kensi asked Alexa as they were now walking to the cars.
"Sadly, yes." Alexa replied laughing.
"What I'm faster than you. Wait... Hey?" Deeks said confused and angry.
Alexa and Kensi laughed. They all got into the cars and drove off.
BANG!
SWAT broke down the door of the motel room and went in.
Sam, Callen, Alexa, Kensi, and Deeks following closely.
"Federal agents." They all yelled. They heard the sounds of guns dropping to the floor.
"Finally an easy one." Deeks exclaimed.
Everyone shook their heads and laughed.
"Where Peyton?" Callen asked one of the captured, who in turn spit on Callen's shoe. Callen looked down and then back at the man."Where is he?" He grabbed the man by the neck.
"Bathroom." He choked. Callen let go and the team followed him to the bathroom.
The door was locked. Callen and Sam kicked the door in and they found Peyton cuffed to the bathtub.
Blood dripping down the drain. Peyton opened his eyes at the sound.
"Peyton?" Callen asked. He nodded. "Were here to take you home."
He nodded again and Callen undid the handcuffs.
They helped him out of the motel room and into an ambulance.
"So." Kensi said sitting next to Alexa in the bullpen.
"So?" Alexa mocked.
"A little birdie told me something about you." Kensi said winking.
"Is this little birdie really a tall Navy Seal who can't keep his mouth shut." Alexa laughed.
Kensi nodded laughing. "So is it true?" She asked.
"Yeah." Alexa smiled.
"Awwwwwwwwww." Kensi said and then quickly covered her mouth as the boys walked over.
"Are you looking at puppies again?" Deeks frowns.
"Nope something way better." Kensi smiles and looks at Callen who sighs.
Callen sits next to Alexa and Kensi squeaks. Sam rolls his eyes and lets out a small chuckle.
"Am I missing something here?" Deeks said looking at everyone smiling but him. Everyone nodded. "What's going on?" He pouted making a puppy face.
Kensi looks at Sam, who looks at Alexa. Alexa turns to Callen. "Well I mean everyone else knows." She mutters.
Callen sighs and nods. "Let's just get it over with."
"Rip it off like a band-aid." Sam laughs.
"One way or another the still hurts." Alexa countered. Sam chuckles. "Kensi would you like to..."
Oh my Yes." Kensi exclaims cutting her off. "So Deeks you might need to sit down for this." Deeks is confused, but sits down next to Kensi. She puts a hand on his shoulder. "Alexasdatingcallen." She said it so fast you could barely make it out.
"What?" Deeks questions her. "Spill it slowly."
"Alexa's dating Callen." She says a bit more clearly now. Deeks face goes blank and his jaw drops.
"Monkey?" Alexa says walking over and waving her hand in his face. He blinks.
"WHAT?!" He shouts. "WHAT? NO!" He gets up and starts to go over to Callen, but Alexa grabs him and pushes him back to the couch.
"Calm down Marty ." She says patting him. "Everything's gonna stay the same."
"You can't date my little sister." He yells at Callen, who is hiding behind Sam. Sam is laughing.
Kensi sits next to Deeks on the couch."Its ok let it go, she's a grown up now." She says. Deeks shakes his head and looks up at his sister.
"No." He simply states.
"Yes." She replies . "It's not your decision. It's mine and I chose to date him 3 months ago and it seems to have worked out just fine so please just relax and let me be happy."
"3... What...but...happy?" Deeks mutters. Alexa smiles down at him and then shoves him into Kensi, who hugs him tightly.
"Yes they are very happy." Sam says pushing Callen into Alexa. Callen wraps his arms around her and kisses her cheek. Kensi let's out a squeak.
"We're not kids anymore monkey. I don't need you to protect me anymore. I can handle myself." Alexa said.
"I know..." Deeks says remembering the day that brought them closer than ever.
FLASHBACK:
Marty Deeks was a cute rebel 11-year-old boy, who loved his little sister Alexa.
Their mother had just passed away.
Rudy, their stepfather, had begun drinking and being angry.
He would lash out at the children. Marty would always take it all.
He didn't let the man lay a finger on his sister.
One day Rudy took it too far and tried to kill Alexa.
She was outside drawing on the sidewalk when he came out and grabbed her.
Marty saw from inside and grabbed his stepfathers shotgun and ran outside.
"Enough." He yelled.
Rudy laughed and continued harassing and choking Alexa.
Marty was fed up.
He pointed the gun.
BANG!
"I'll never forget, but I'm ok on my own now." Alexa said awakening him from his thoughts. She knew him too well. "You gonna be ok?" She asked.
"Only if your ok?" Deeks replies.
"I'm great." Alexa says and wiggles more into Callen, who gladly tightens his grip.
"I guess I'll have to live with this then?" Deeks asks.
"Yup" Everyone says in unison. They all laugh, even Deeks who is still being held by Kensi. He leans his head on her shoulder.
"Ok you can date my sister." He smiles. Callen kisses Alexa on the lips. "Oh god but not that please." Deeks covers his face Kensi squeezes him in her arms .
Sam slaps Callen on the shoulder and smiles at him.
"So beer anyone?" Sam asks.
"I could go for a few." Alexa says.
"That means I'm going." Callen laughs.
"I'm always up for beer." Kensi states.
"I think I need a hundred." Deeks smiles.
They all walk out to the cars and drive to the bar.
They arrive at the bar and bump into Eric and Nell.
"Thanks for inviting us." Nell says smiling at Alexa.
"Anytime." Alexa smiles back and they walk in together arm in arm. Everyone else follows.
About 3 hours later, Kensi is half drunk, Nell is completely wasted,
Deeks and Eric are having a debate about Star Trek and Star Wars.
Sam, Callen, and Alexa are just chatting about how stupid Eric and Deeks are.
"Star Trek copied Star Wars." Deeks says to Eric.
"Star Trek is nothing like Star Wars." Eric refutes.
"They have hovercrafts and weird creatures and basically the same plot." Deeks argues back.
"Ok the creatures and spaceships maybe, but not the plot." Erica counters. "Kirk's dad died."
"How do you know? He could still be alive. Somewhere in the galaxy." Deeks says.
"Oh my god!? His ship exploded into millions of pieces. He's dead." Eric sighs.
"He could've beamed onto some ship. Maybe he's with the bad guys." Deeks fights.
"You're hopeless." Eric says putting his head on the table.
"But I'm right. Right?" Deeks asks poking Eric, who moans.
"Honestly they both suck." Sam says.
"What are you crazy? Those movies are classics." Alexa asks confused.
"Oh, no, I meant them two." He replies pointing at Deeks and Eric.
"Oh, well we already knew that." Alexa laughed.
"I don't understand anything they're talking about. Deeks is a nerd?" Callen butts in.
"That's because you don't watch movies." Alexa says.
"That's cause he doesn't have a tv." Sam points out.
"What are you going to buy me a tv now?" Callen sighed.
"Maybe." Alexa and Sam said in unison. They laughed.
Sam looked at his watch.
"Wife?" Callen asked. Sam nodded. "Adios amigo."
"Later G. Bye Alexa." Sam said and got up.
"Bye Sam." Alexa said and he walked out.
"Wanna go?" Callen asked leaning closer to Alexa. She nodded and they got up.
"Bye monkey." She said waving to Deeks. He waved back then continued his argument with Eric.
"We should be dancers." Nell slurred.
"Oh yeah." Kensi nodded. They continued dancing until they noticed the arguing between Eric and Deeks.
"Should we do something?" Nell asked.
"Yeah I think Eric needs to be saved." Kensi said. They laughed an walked over to the boys.
"Come on Deeks I'm tired." Kensi said grabbing his arm.
"Ugh fine." He said then turned to Eric "We will continue this later." Eric nodded. Kensi and Deeks left.
"Guess whose my ride home?" Nell said to Eric.
"Oh great." He said and got up and they headed out.
Sam walks into his dark house. He walks over to his daughter's room and kisses her forehead.
"Goodnight princess" he says and walks to the door.
"Goodnight daddy." She replies and then slips back into sleep.
He smiles and heads for his room.
"Hey honey." Michelle says looking up from her book."How was work?"
"Same old, same old." He replied getting into bed. "Oh and guess whose a couple now?"
"Alexa and Callen." She smiled.
"How did you know?" He asked.
"She told me a long time ago. Honey you're so late." She laughed and put her book on the table.
"Whatever." He groaned. She turned off the light and kissed his cheek.
"Goodnight." She said.
"Goodnight love." He smiled and they fell asleep.
Callen and Alexa pulled up to the house and went in.
"Well that went better than I thought." Alexa said.
"Really? I think it could've gone better." Callen said dropping his bag on the floor.
"At least that's over." Alexa smiled and dropped her bag next to his.
"Yea, but now I have to be careful around him." Callen sighed moving closer to her.
"This is going to be fun." She smiled and leaned her head into his chest. He sighed again.
"Yeah, yeah. Are you sleepy." He asked looking down at her.
She looked up at him and shook her head. He smiled and kissed her. Then he lifted her up and took her to the bedroom.
"Kensi you're really heavy when you're drunk." Deeks says as he piggy backs her up the stairs of his apartment building.
"I'm not drunk and why am I at your place?" She said smirking. They got to the last step and he put her down.
"Then why was I carrying you?" He moaned.
"I don't like stairs." She laughed.
"Whatever princess." He smiled and opened the door. Monty ran over to Kensi.
"Hi Monty. Oh I missed you too buddy." She said petting him. His tail was wagging fast.
"He's been asking for you to come over for weeks." Deeks laughed.
"Oh really? He wanted me over." She smiled.
"Maybe." Deeks said smiling. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Or maybe I just might be in love with you Fern."
She didn't have time to reply because he kissed her.
"Here you are." Eric said as her parked outside Nell's apartment.
"Thanks." She said. She unbuckled her seatbelt and grabbed her bag.
Eric turned to her. "See you monday."
"Yup." She smiled, then leant over and kissed him on the lips. "Night Beale." She said and got out of the car.
"Ni-gh-t..." Eric stammered but she was already inside. He smiled and drove home.
