Chapter three!

Desclamer: I do not own NCIS: Los Angeles or any of its characters.

*FLASHBACK*

It had been seven weeks since he had gone under as Jeremy Cole. Seven excruciatingly exhausting weeks. He had managed to gain the trust of Cedro Rung and one of his employees, Soldier Talend. It had taken him a significant amount of strength to get through the hard work to prove his allegiance to Cedro, and it certainly wasn't any fun.

In those seven weeks, Deeks had to suffer through the pain of watching Cedro and his men savagely beat an innocent man before shooting him in the neck and leaving him to bleed out painfully. It hurt like hell to know that he could've stopped it, but not without blowing his cover.

It was a sunny Wednesday and Deeks was supposed to be helping to organize everything for the big weapons sale later that night. He knew that Cedro had commanded his men to tag his cellphone just in case, so he couldn't use it to contact Jessica Rye from the FBI to tell her about the weapons exchange. Around 3PM though, Deeks saw a chance and took it. He told Cedro and his men that he was going out to eat lunch, but instead he walked a few blocks away from the warehouse and to a payphone.

Looking around discreetly to make sure he wasn't being followed, Deeks dialed Jessica's number which he had been able to commit to memory. He heard as the other line picked up, but didn't give her a chance to speak. "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to come by later tonight? We're having a huge party and all the big guys are gonna be there." He spoke in code.

It took a while for Jessica to realize what he meant, but eventually she answered, "Actually, my superiors are kind of angry with me for not getting Rung sooner. Now, they want me to get everyone involved, which includes Cedro's bosses."

Deeks sighed in disappointment. He knew what that meant, he would have to stay under for a longer period of time.

"But don't worry. I'm sending you backup, you won't be alone in this." She said just before hanging up.

Deeks slammed the payphone back into its holder angrily. He was about to turn around and go back to the warehouse when he felt a hard surface hit his head, and before he knew it, Deeks was out like a rock.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Now he was lying in an almost empty room trying to figure out a way to get out of this place before Cedro or one of his men came back. He looked around for any exits. The only ones were the windows and the door. Cedro would certainly have guards outside the door, and opening the windows would definitely trigger an alarm that would alert everyone in he building. There was no way Deeks would be able to escape all those men chasing him alone and on foot. Unfortunately for any of his plans to work, he would need some form of backup. And he didn't have any. All Deeks could do was sit and wait for the backup Jessica had promised him. If they never got here, then he was as good as dead.

Almost an hour passed before Deeks heard a soft tapping on the window. Opening his eyes, he turned to see a woman in a dark green strapless shirt and jeans with stylish cuts in various places. She had a black hoodie tied around her waste and began to gesture for him to come closer to the window. It was painfully hard for him to crawl over, but eventually he did. When he got there Deeks realized that the woman was Jessica. It seemed she had dyed her hair, because now it was a chocolaty brown with a few purple highlights.

"Is there an alarm?" She mouthed to him through the window. Deeks shrugged in response to tell her that he didn't know. She ran her fingers through her hair frustrated. Then she smiled mysteviosly before gesturing him to move back. He did as he was told and was surprised when she pulled her gun from its holster and fired two rounds right at the window.

As soon as the glass shattered a bell began to ring loudly and Jessica walked in. "They heard that, you know?" Deeks yelled over the loud sirens as she helped him off the ground.

"That's what I was counting on!" She yelled also.

They both heard the loud shouts of men rushing towards the door and Jessica put Deeks' arm over her shoulder in order to help him walk. "There's a Jeep down on the main road, only a few yards from here!" She yelled again.

Deeks nodded and they both set off to get to the Jeep before they were caught. Jessica and Deeks knew that they were being followed, but neither dared turn back. It took little over five minutes for bullets to begin flying.

"Go, I'll take care of these guys!" Jessica yelled at him over the sound of the alarm and guns firing.

"I'm not leaving you here!" He yelled back.

Jessica had just finished firing and pulled back behind the tree they were hiding behind to reload. "You're injured and don't have a weapon! Get to the Jeep, I'm right behind you!" She commanded in a tone that left no room for argument. Deeks realized she was right. He was injured and he didn't have a weapon, the only good he would serve was a distraction for Jessica while she tried to protect hem both.

Again, Jessica dived behind the tree to reload. "Go, I'll cover you!"

They both waited until the sound of gunfire stopped, signaling that the enemy was reloading before they jumped into action. Jessica sprung up and began to fire while Deeks limped toward the main road as quickly as he could. He mentally counted the amount of shots Jessica fired and dived behind the nearest tree when he realized she needed to reload again.

This happened four more times before Deeks finally reached the main road. He stepped onto the rocky concrete and looked left and right for the Jeep, when he spotted it pulled over at an intersection, he began to walk towards it.

Just then he heard loud footsteps behind him, "GET DOWN!" Jessica yelled just before tackling him to the ground. He heard a loud "SWOOSH" past his head and then a "BOOM". He rolled over in time to see a massive fire on the other side of the road. Jessica grabbed his hand and helped him to his feet before she supported him as the both went as fast as they could towards the Jeep.

Deeks jumped into the passanger seat, as he was in no condition to drive as Jessica speeded fastly into the town.
