Delta Deeks AU

What if Deeks happened to be a member of the delta team that rescued Sam and Callen in the season 6 episode 5 Black Budget. This is strictly AU
AN - I own nothing of NCIS LA. I do, however, like to play with them like so many others.
AN2 - This story would have just been a pile of words without the help of Ohbuddy66. With that, on with the show.
Chapter 6
As Deeks dials Lt. Gordon's number, all sorts of thoughts start running through his head. Who would want to kill the members of Duster? As soon as the thoughts start entering his head, Lt. Gordon answers. "Hey Deeks, haven't heard from you in a long while. What's up?"
"Hi Lieutenant. Someone blew up my house this morning with a couple of RPG's. We found a list on the edge of the road with the names of Duster on it and mine was crossed out. Someone is trying to take Duster out. Are you on a mission or home in the states?"
"We're back at Bragg at the moment. Just finished a long one last week. What's on your mind?"
"Well, sir, I'm going to take the list we found into OSP and check it for prints and hope we get lucky. I just thought you should know that someone has you in their scope. I'll check back in with you later after we get the list checked out."
"Ok Deeks. By the way, keep your Sat phone handy. Talk to you later." With that, Lt. Gordon breaks the connection.
"Hey Sam," Deeks calls, "let's take that list in to Ops and check it for prints. Maybe we'll get lucky."
Deeks goes back to his gun safe and gets his and Kensi's guns and badges out and walks up to Sam.
"Sam, Kensi and I have pretty much lost everything we had when they blew up our house. We don't even have vehicles any more. Oh buddy, Hetty is gonna be so irate."
"Hey, you guys are lucky you weren't sleeping on the ground floor," Callen says, "If you had been, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now." With that, he turns and heads for Sam's Challenger.
"Hey Kensi, let's go!" Sam hollers.
As the four agents walk into the bull pen, Hetty calls out, "Mr. Deeks, a word please?"
Deeks walks over to Hetty's desk and sits down.
"Cup of tea, Mr. Deeks?"
"No thanks, Hetty."
"Well Mr. Deeks, it seems we need to take care of your house and vehicle. Let me know your insurance carrier and I'll get things started."
"Kensi's vehicle is gone also, Hetty."
"As I said Mr. Deeks, I'll take care of it." With that said, he's dismissed and on the way upstairs to ops.
As he walks into ops, he notices Nell oohing and aahing over Kensi's left hand. When Kensi sees him, her face turns into one big smile. "Way to go, Deeks!" Nell says.
"Thanks Nell. Did you get any hits off that list Sam found?"
"Yes, one popped up just a second ago. It belongs to Tomas Juanosa. Know him?"
"Nope, I've never heard of him. But I'll make a call and see what I can find out."
"Hello. This is Agent Del Campo."
"Tali, this is Deeks."
"Hey Marty, it's been a long time since I've heard from you. You calling for a date?"
Deeks' face gets red as he answers Talia, "No, I'm actually calling about a man named Tomas Juanosa. He put two RPG's into my house this morning and now I have no house. I'm lucky that Kensi was sleeping upstairs. I don't want to think about what could have been. I was thinking maybe you had heard of him."
"Well, Juanosa is also called El Pimiento Grande (The Big Pepper) in southern Mexico. He thinks he's hot. He pretty much runs everything down there including child prostitution. It's even been said he's given girls as young as 12 to individuals as payment for favors. He's a real scum bag that we would like to see disappear. He travels a lot across the border around Brownsville, Texas. I'll send you everything we have on him, ok?"
"That would be great, Tali."
An hour later the file shows up. After looking through the contents with the team, Hetty tells Deeks to call Lt. Gordon and brief him.
"Will do, Hetty." Deeks says.
Deeks calls his former CO and he answers with, "What did you find, Deeks?"
"Well, Lieutenant, the man appears to be lower and dirtier than the stuff we scrape off of the bottom of our boots. He's big into drugs, guns, and child slavery in southern Mexico. His name is Tomas Juanosa. Does that name ring any bells?"
"Yes it does," Lt. Gordon replies. "We removed his father, Mateo, right after you joined our team. It must have been about 16 or 17 years ago. We were told to only get rid of Mateo. Deeks, I need to send this info up above and let the powers that be know that someone knows the members of Duster. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Bye."
Much later that afternoon, Deeks' Sat phone rings. He answers it and puts it on speaker so everyone can hear. Lt. Gordon is on the other end. "Hey Lieutenant, what's the plan?"
"Well, Deeks, there was a hasty meeting called with the Sec. of Defense, the Sec. of the Navy, the Dept. of Justice, and a few others we don't need to name. It could go two different ways. NCIS could handle it because two NCIS agents were attacked. Or Duster could handle it since we're the ones he's after. It was decided that Duster would take care of the problem with one NCIS agent joining us. Marty, they want you back with Duster for this mission. SecNav is going to call your boss and explain. You, on the other hand, need to get down here to Bragg for a little refresher training. Bring your long gun, and that loud thing you call a pistol. Try to get here ASAP. Talk to you later Deeks." With that, Lt. Gordon signs off.
"Mr. Deeks, I'll find you a hop to Bragg. Go get your things."
"Ok, Hetty"
Two weeks later finds Deeks and the rest of Duster standing in the boat shed. Deeks' team finds it hard seeing Deeks in desert boots, desert fatigues and a recon boonie hat. A far cry from jeans and t-shirts. Kensi thinks he looks cute.
"SecNav informed me that you were crossing the border somewhere between Juarez and Brownsville. Is that right?" Hetty asks Lt. Gordon.
"Yeah. We're taking a chopper out of Pendleton and as soon as we cross the border, we'll send it back. We're supposed to have a vehicle waiting for us. This mission has been sanctioned by the Mexican Govt. We have been tasked with exterminating the problem with extreme prejudice. That's why we need Deeks and his long gun. We're also hoping that your tech wizards can hack the cartels security cameras. We would like Eric and Sam to accompany us and stay back about a mile. Sam can watch out for Beale. He is in no way allowed to go with us inside. We figure there's around 15 to 20 people in there and they're all heavily armed."
"Deeks," Lt. Gordon hollers, "did you remember to bring George? You're going to need it later."
"George? Who the hell is George?" Sam asks.
"Show him George, Deeks." Lt. Gordon says.
Deeks reaches up behind his head and pulls out an 18" custom made combat knife, and then nonchalantly throws it in an arc so that it lands in front of Sam, sticking up in the top of the picnic table. "That's George," Deeks replies.
"What the . . . What's THAT for?" Sam inquires.
"Deeks uses that inside buildings on missions such as the one we're going on." Lt. Gordon says. "He's very good at clearing buildings quietly. Let's get to Pendleton! Saddle up!" Lt. Gordon hollers.
As Duster disembarks the chopper, Beale grabs his electronic gear needed to hack the security cameras. As he does that, Sam passes out earwigs to the others. He wishes he could go with them, but understands why he can't. They're a close knit group and seeing Deeks with them makes him remember how smooth he blends in with them.
"Deeks . . . Put the suppressor on your rifle." Lt. Gordon tells him. "We'll try to get close, but I have a feeling we're only going to be able to get around 3/4 of a mile from the place. They have roaming sentries with dogs out about 1/2 mile. Let's go gentlemen."
About an hour later, they can make out buildings ahead. Lt. Gordon uses a spotter scope to see what things look like. They're 1000 meters from the hacienda and he sees several roaming patrols.
"Deeks!"
"Yes, Lieutenant?"
"Set up here. I see three roaming patrols and five stationary guards. We need them to disappear."
"Will do, sir."
"Are you sure you aren't too far away, Deeks?" Sam asks.
"This is a piece of cake for Deeks," Lt. Gordon mentions.
"I'm into the security cameras, Lt. Gordon." Beale murmurs. "Holy bat shit! There's a bunch of guys in there! How . . ."
"Just make sure you keep the cameras operational. If there's a way you can get a recording of this, it would be appreciated." Lt. Gordon suggests. "And stay inside the van!"
"Deeks! You're up!"
"Roger that, Lieutenant."
Deeks checks out the guards and decides to take the three on the top balcony first and then drop down to the lower balcony by the doors to take out the last two. He'd then take out the roaming patrols when they come back around.
Unbeknownst to Duster, the camera feed was being relayed back to OSP to the ops room. They were seeing everything Duster was seeing.
Lt. Gordon lays alongside of Deeks with the spotter scope and tells him, "There is very little wind, and what wind there is, is blowing away from us. You're clear . . . go."
On Gordon's command, Deeks lines up the first shot and fires away. The first five were down before Sam even knew he had pulled the trigger. I forgot how good this guy really is, he thinks.
Deeks changes out his magazine and waits a second for the first patrol to come around. A minute later, all three roaming patrols are down. Deeks changes out the magazine and hands his rifle to Sam for safekeeping.
"It's time to go inside. See ya later, brother," as he hits his chest twice above his heart. Sam remembers what that signified. He's saying good bye in case something bad happens. Sam repeats the gesture and Deeks turns, leaving with the rest of the group. Sam just then realizes he couldn't hear them when they left. Those guys are something, Sam thinks.
By the time Duster is ready to enter the house, the sun is down and it's getting really dark pretty fast. They all put their night goggles on and enter. Deeks pulls his knife as soon as he goes through the doorway. When he leaves the room, there are two bodies on the floor. He hears through his earwig the same thing happening in other rooms. There are 12 bodies laying on the floor when Duster is ready to go upstairs and still no shots fired.
Sam is watching all this go down on a computer screen in the van. He's never seen anything like this before. And Deeks . . . WOW, he thinks. The people back at OSP are watching the activities unfold also, up in ops. They mainly concentrate on their Mr. Deeks. They all find it hard to believe how smoothly he moves from room to room. They also discover just how good he is with a knife. In fact, ALL of the team are good with their knives.
As Duster reaches the upper floor, they meet little resistance. Four guards and then there were two sleeping in chairs outside of Juanosa's door. When they were laid to rest, Lt. Gordon opens the door to the bedroom. There stands Juanosa with a gun. Without a thought, Deeks pulls his knife out and throws it. Juanosa drops with 18" of custom made combat knife sticking out of his head.
48 hours later finds Deeks back in L.A. walking through the doors of OPS, after being debriefed at Pendleton. As soon as he got close to the bullpen, Kensi saw him and ran into his arms. In front of everyone, she gave him a huge hug and a loving kiss.
