Chapter 9

'Moom!' was the first thing Kensi heard when she and Deeks walked inside and Damian came crawling towards them. Kensi picked him up and she kissed him on his cheek.

'I missed you, beautiful boy,' she told him and Damian started to smile. Melissa got up from the couch and she walked towards them. Deeks greeted her and gave her the money she earned so that Kensi could have a moment with Damian.

'You should clean your coffee table,' Melissa said. 'Little Damian is trying to grab everything he can get. The coffee table is just his height. He walked around the table so much that I was getting dizzy. But the little guy had a lot of fun.'

Deeks smiled.'Thanks again, Melissa,' he said. 'And tell your father I'll visit him soon with some beers.' Melissa nodded.

'I'll be back tomorrow,' she said and she stroked Damian over his cheek. 'See you tomorrow, little guy.' Damian waved at Melissa and she left the apartment.

'Could you cook while I put him in bath?' Kensi asked.

'Of course,' Deeks said and he opened the fridge for something to eat. 'We need to do groceries. We're out of beer and there isn't much food. But uncle Marty will fix something to eat. We got enough to make….umm….something.' Kensi laughed and left him alone in the kitchen. She filled the bath and after undressing him, she put Damain in it. He splashed the water all over the room and over Kensi. But she was laughing with the boy.

'You really like the water, don't you?' she smiled. After some time playing in the water, Damian pulled himself up at the edge of the bathtub.

'Ou!' he said. Kensi lifted him out the bad.

'Time to dry,' she said and she carefullydried him off with a towel. After that she dressed him in his pajamas. She lay him down in his crib and stroked his nose while she sang the song again. Soon Damian was asleep.


'So this lady from the shop looked at me as if I asked for golden bread,' Deeks finished telling her. 'How hard is it to leave the sauce from the sandwich?'

'I already hear it: you had a hard time,' Kensi laughed and she took a sip of her beer.

'I got her number,' Deeks added and he held up a napkin with a number scribbled down on it. She read it and she started to laugh.

'Deeks, there are too many numbers.' Deeks started to count and noticedKensi was right. He threw the napkin on the ground.

'At least I tried,' he said.

'Maybe you should try it again with the yoga women in the park,' Kensi joked. Deeks shook his head, smiling. He had to admit that Kensi had made a brilliant move. Saying that he cheated on her with her brother.

'Or I could try our Robert,' Deeks continued. 'He seemed to like me.' Kensi started to laugh but chocked on her beer. Deeks softly patted her back. She wiped away the beer that was coming from her mouth. The bottle she placed on the coffee table.

'No more beer for me,' she said, coughing.

'Maybe some water?' Deeks suggested and before Kensi could say anything he had got her a glass with water. She took a few sips and leaned back on the couch. She turned her head to him.

'You haven't had a date in a long time,' she said. Deeks looked confused at her. Where was this going?

'That is right,' he said.

'Is it because Damian and I live here?' she asked.

'Of course not,' Deeks answered immediately. 'I love that you live here with me. I would go crazy if you two left. It would be very quiet. You can stay here forever if you want…although I don't think that the teenage Damian would like that he has to sleep in the same room as his mom.' Kensi laughed.

'I don't think I would like that either,' she said.


At six in the morning they got a call. Another person in the case was killed. Robert was found dead this morning. A DNA-test proved that he was the father of Rosie's baby.

'So it wasn't really an anonymous donor?' Deeks asked sleepy over the phone.

'No, apparently not,' Callen answered. 'Are you able to come? There is probably not a possibly for a babysitter.' Deeks turned to Kensi who was making coffee.

'We'll see who comes to join you. Good bye.'

'Goodbye Deeks.' Deeks laid the phone on the kitchen table. Kensi had just finished making coffee and she handed him a mug.

'So, should I stay?' he asked before taking a sip.

'No,' Kensi answered. 'I'll stay. Melissa will be here at nine but I'm going to call her and see if she can come earlier.' Deeks put the mug on the table.

'Alright, then I'm going to take a shower,' he said and he walked to the bathroom. Meanwhile Kensi checked on Damian, who was still sleeping. Lucky boy, she thought. He could still sleep while she and Deeks had to get up. She stroked his soft hair and left the room. She noticed all of Damian's toys laying everywhere in the house and she decided to clean the house. Most of the toys she threw either in the box or in the drawer underneath the box.

'Wow, all of Damian's toys disappeared,' Deeks smiled. He was holding Damian. Kensi hadn't heard the boy wake up. She took Damian over from Deeks.

'Good morning,' she greeted the little boy and she kissed him on the cheek.

'I didn't get a kiss!' Deeks joked.

'Uncle Marty is jealous of you,' Kensi said to Damian. ''Cause you're mommy's favorite boy.'

'Yeh, yeh!' Damian babble and he clapped his hands. The boy really like clapping his hands and did it all the time.

'I'll give you some time together,' Deeks said, pretending to be offended and Damian started to babble immediately. But he was talking too fast for either one of them. 'Goodbye. Damian, I'll see you tonight and Kensi don't forget: we start working at nine thirty. Don't be late.' Kensi rolled her eyes.


Robert Harr was beaten to death and was left in a dumpster. The smell was really bad for this early in the morning. Deeks had the urge to throw up. Even Damian's full diapers smelled better than this.

'I'm really never going to eat at this restaurant,' he informed Callen and Sam.

'I hope their food is better than their garbage,' Sam said. 'But Deeks, for you is it time to jump into the dumpster and search for…for something.' Deeks started to laugh.

'Really funny,' he laughed but when he glanced at Sam, he noticed that Sam had meant it. 'Come on, that is gross!'

'That is why our special LAPD-liaison has to do it,' Callen smiled. 'Not the special agents.'

Deeks sighed and he climbed in the dumpster.

'Oh, nice, maggots,' he said when he saw them laying between the food. 'Is anyone hungry? There is plenty of food inside. Oh, I see something!' He pointed at the thing that was sticking out.

'Looks like a wallet,' Sam said. 'Why don't you grab it?'

Deeks looked disgusted at the contents. 'With my bare hands?' he asked. Callen and Sam nodded and Deeks looked away when he stuck his hand in the rotting food. Amused Callen and Sam watched him

'You two are enjoying this way too much! You should…jackpot!' Deeks held up the wallet but let it fall quickly when he saw maggots coming out of it.

Sam picked it up and he checked the driver's] license inside. 'Yeah, this is Robert Harr's wallet,' he said.

'Maybe we should talk to Alice,' Callen suggested. 'She knows two of the victims and she got amotive.'

'Yeah, her lesbian girlfriend sleeps with her gay best friend so they two can have a baby,' Deeks replied. 'Only she didn't know that Rosie and Robert were sleeping together because of getting a baby. I'll call Kensi and send her to Alice.'

'Maybe you should step out of the dumpster,' Sam suggested. 'The maggots might go into your shoes and pants.' Deeks jumped quickly out of the dumpster and Callen and Sam laughed.

'That was quick,' Callen said. 'You must have done that before.'

'There wasn't a lot of love at LAPD,' Deeks answered. He took his phone to call Kensi.


'Alice?' Kensi asked while she walked inside. The door was open slightly, clearly kicked in. Kensi raised her gun and went to the living room. A lamp was knocked over and magazines were laying spread on the floor.

'Alice?' Kensi repeated. She heard a groan coming from upstairs and Kensi hurried upstairs. In the bedroom was Alice laying on the ground, faced down. Kensi turned her around and saw her bloodied and bruised face. She checked for a pulse and was relieved to find one.

'Agent Blye?' Alice mumbled.

'I'm here,' Kensi answered and she took Alice's hand. 'What happened here?'

'I don't know,' Alice said. 'Someone came inside shouting. They threw something on the ground but I was hiding here in the closet. Then he came here and started to hit and kick me.'

'I should take you to the hospital,' Kensi said and she helped Alice to get up. Slowly they walked to Kensi's car.

'Why didn't he kill me?' Alice asked softly when they drove to the hospital.

'I don't know,' Kensi answered honestly. 'I have to call the team and let them know.'


'So Rosie and Robert killed and Alice attacked,' Callen summed upwhen Kensi called him from the hospital. The doctor was checking on Alice. Kensi hated to be back in the hospital. She has seen enough of the place for a long time.

'Yes. Are we dealing with gay related violence?' Kensi asked.

'Maybe. Did Alice tell you something about our suspect? Build, skin color?'

'Nothing, but she was very confused when I found her. She didn't tell me much. Only that is was a man…and that he was came inside shouting. He knocked a lamp over.'

'Sounds like he was angry.'

'Yeah.' Kensi saw the doctor walking towards her. 'Callen, I have to go. The doctor is back.' They said their goodbyes and Kensi hung up. The doctor nodded as a greeting.

'I'm doctor Birr,' she said. 'Miss Baught has a few bruised ribs and a concussion. She should be okay in some time…physically that is. She seems really upset and scared. She keeps talking about Rosie and Robert.'

'They were killed,' Kensi explained.

Doctor Birr nodded understanding.

'Well, you can see Miss Baught,' she told Kensi. 'She is in room 245. We're going to keep her one night in here for observation.' Kensi nodded and she walked through the room. The corridor looked like the one she walked through with Callen, Deeks and Sam whenever she was bored.

Alice was laying in the bed and she stared at the opposite wall. Tears were present in her eyes. Kensi sat down in one of the chairs. Alice slowly turned her hand towards Kensi, wincing in the process.

'The doctor told me I have to stay,' she said. 'I never expected to be in the hospital. Rosie was supposed to lie here when it was time to deliver the baby…our baby.'

'Alice, I need to ask you some questions,' Kensi said and Alice nodded. 'Do you think you can tell a sketch artist what the man who attacked you looked like?'

'I can at least try,' Alice answered.

'Great,' Kensi replied. 'Did you know that Robert was the father of Rosie's baby?'

'No, it was an anonymous donor,' Alice corrected.

Kensi shook her head.

'We did a DNA-test,' she explained. 'Robert is the father of Rosie's baby.' That was too much for Alice and she burst into tears.


'Some way to let your world crash,' Deeks mumbled when Kensi was back at Ops. The team was sitting in the bullpen. They were waiting for the sketch. Sam was getting lunch for everyone. 'First your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, who's supposed to be gay,' Deeks continued. 'Then your girlfriend gets pregnant and lies about the father. Then she gets killed. The next day your best friend gets killed and that same day you get attacked.'

'Definitely not her best week,' Kensi agreed.

'What do we know about the killer?' Callen asked, not handling the waiting any longer.

'It is a man,' Kensi answered.

'And he is strong,' Deeks added. 'He has beaten Robert to death. Robert was a strong man and he had a history of violence. That takes a lot of strength.' Sam came walking in with their lunch. He gave each one of them theirs.

'Where did you get it?' Callen asked. 'Doesn't look like our normal lunch.' Sam smiled.

'I went to Deeks' favorite place,' he answered. Deeks, who had just took a bite, spat his food put in the trashcan next to him. Kensi looked confused at the guys.

'Deeks had to go dumpster diving in the restaurant's dumpster,' Callen explained.

'Kensi, I suggest you don't eat it,' Deeks said. 'It might kill you. It even has killed some of the maggots inside the dumpster.'

'I think that was you,' Sam corrected. 'With your big feet crushing those innocent little maggots.'

'Those creatures are evil,' Deeks said.


'This could be every guy with blond hair,' Deeks said, pointing at the sketch of the killer. 'He is just an average guy.'

'He looks like you, Deeks,' Sam said smiling. Deeks turned around and he pointed at Kensi.

'I've an alibi,' he said. 'I couldn't have done it…but he does looks like me. Maybe it is my evil twin of whom I didn't know he existed.'

'Right, maybe we should look for likely possibilities,' Kensi said.

'I didn't get a hit in any of the databases,' Eric said. 'Well, actually I got a hundred hits. Deeks is right. The guy is very average. I did have luck with the phone records of Robert. He was called several times by Rosie, probably about the baby and several times by Alice…'

'So?' Sam asked. 'They were best friends.'

'…until a month ago,' Eric finished. 'Robert tried to call Alice several times but she didn't pick up. That was until the last call. She called him and the phone call lasted a few minutes. That was an hour before his death.'

'Could she have lied?' Callen asked. 'Maybe she did know about Rosie and Robert sleeping together.'

'We should go to the hospital,' Kensi said. 'Alice is staying there for the night.' Callen nodded and all of them went to the hospital.


'I'm sorry agents but Miss Baught isn't in her room,' doctor Birr told them when the team arrived at the hospital. 'A nurse thought she went to the bathroom but Miss Baught didn't came back.'

'How long ago was this?' Callen asked. Doctor Birr looked at her watch.

'About half an hour,' she answered. 'I'm not sure. I was treating another patient at the time…but that nurse-' She pointed a blond woman. '- was the one who told me that Miss Baught was missing.' Sam hurried to the nurse.

'Excuse me,' he said and he held up his badge. 'We're looking for Alice Baught. You were the last one who saw her?'

'Yes,' the nurse answered. 'I did a check up and when I wanted to ask if she wanted something to drink, she was gone. I thought she might have gone to the bathroom so I came back fifteen minutes later, it is really busy here you know, but she was still gone.'

'Okay, thank you,' Sam said and he walked back to the team.

'The hospital is on lock down,' Callen said to him. 'Let's find her and ask her why she's running.'

'Probably because she is the one who killed her girlfriend and her best friend,' Deeks replied. He and Kensi went left and Sam and Callen went right.

By the way: today wasn't my day. .I had to post it four time before I got sort of the right version but it wouldn't surprise me if it is still the wrong version. So the chapter probably has a lot of mistakes..
This horrible started already at the first 20 minutes: my knees and foot hurt and my elbow smashed into the wall...then at school I had to wait 35 minutes before the teacher showed so we could do nothing for three hours...During English training for the finals I sat for 3 hours in a bloody hot sun and when I thought it was all over, my mom called me while I was riding home on my bike to tell me that my tutor was waiting for me at home (forgot I had tutoring at 16:30 instead of 19:00)...

I don't want you to have a bad day so here is a new chapter.

Please review: I can use it today =D
