They finished up lunch and headed back to work. As they entered the building, Izzy went skipping back up to Nell and Eric.
"Hey got a suspect," Callen said as they walked in.
"Uh… how long were we gone?" Deeks asked confused by how they already had a suspect.
"The lieutenant's CO, David Morris, knew about the project and was mad because he originally had the idea," Callen said filling them in.
"He was also not at work and his cell was off at the time of the murder," Sam said. "Your daughter helped Nell and Eric figure that one out," he added looking at Kensi.
"Yeah, yeah she's a genius, I'm proud, can we finish?' she said still uncomfortable with the subject.
"Oh and get this, Morris has 22 caliber pistol that wasn't registered by the navy," Callen finished. A 22 caliber was the assumed murder weapon.
"'K, let's go pick him up," Deeks said heading for the door, Kensi followed. "So what are you going to do with the kid?" Deeks said filling the gap in the car.
"Can we not talk about this?" Kensi said not ready to discuss what was to be done with her daughter.
"Did you name her or did her adopted parents?"
"I did, after my mother."
"It's a pretty name and it fits her, she's almost as pretty as her mom." Kensi gave a small laugh at the cheesy line. Deeks was not one for originality, but who said that wasn't one of the reasons she loved him. They pulled up to the base where Morris was stationed.
"We're looking for Captain Morris," Kensi told a young lieutenant. He ended up pointing them in the direction of a small work out area. When they got there, Morris was working on pull ups on a thin metal bar being held by two long wooden boards painted blue.
"Captain Morris?" Deeks asked as they walked up. The captain hopped down, took one look at them and ran. They pulled their guns and ran after him. Kensi was a few feet away when he pulled his own gun and started to fire. Kensi returned fire being sure to aim where it wouldn't kill him. She shot him once in the foot and another in the right shoulder.
Deeks pulled out his cell to call for an ambulance and Kensi was cuffing him. The ambulance came about fifteen minutes later and about four hours after he was admitted to the hospital, they took him to be interrogated. It didn't take long to get him to confess. Case closed. Deeks and Kensi headed back to the squad room to talk.
"So are we still on for tonight after everything today?" Deeks being the one to ask this time.
"Yep," Kensi said in response.
"What about…?" Deeks started trailing off.
"Eric and Nell agreed to stay here and watch her."
"Perfect."
"I'm going to go check on her." Kensi left the squad room and headed back upstairs. There was one thing she needed to do.
