Chapter Ten- "Who's Gonna Save Us?"

Deeks walked into the LAPD precinct, it had been almost three years since he had left NCIS. It had taken almost a week to figure out who had been responsible, but somehow they figured it out. Just like Deeks had said he packed up and left. He made sure to say goodbye to Sam, Eric, Nell and Hetty before he left. They all told him to keep in touch and somehow time just got away from them all. Deeks did call Sam ever so often, they two talked about everything but work, that was the one subject they both avoided. When Deeks returned to LAPD hadn't gone back undercover, he had asked for a transfer. They made some calls and Deeks found his way on to the narcotics squad. It was a hard transition at first but after awhile it finally started to work out. Deeks sat at his desk, he hadn't been busy all morning and was waiting for that to change. He then heard a familiar voice; he looked up to see an officer being Kensi who was wearing a tight short skirt, a tight shirt and high-heeled boots, in.

"Look I told you I wasn't really there. He might have been dealing, but I didn't know. I swear," Deeks heard the familiar voice say in a very poor accent. He looked up to see an officer being Kensi who was wearing a tight short skirt, a tight shirt and high-heeled boots, in.

"Detective Deeks I believe this one belongs to you," the officer said as he brought Kensi over.

"How do you figure that?" Deeks asked him.

"She was found at Morelli's compound," The Officer said. "Is that not your case?"

"That is so thank you Officer," Deeks said. He then got up from his desk and moved closer to Kensi and the officer.

"I'm completely innocent," Kensi said.

"You and the rest of Morelli's girls," Detective Flynn said.

"Can it Flynn," Deeks snapped. He then turned back to the Officer. "I've got it from here."

"If you say so," the Officer said. He then undid Kensi cuffs and handed her off to Deeks before walking away.

"You going to need some back up Deeks?" Flynn asked.

"I think I can handle this one," Deeks said. He then led Kensi towards the interrogation. He made sure to pick the one in the far back, that no one uses. He didn't want anything to ease drop on their conversation. Once he closed the door he turned to face Kensi. "What are you doing here Kensi?"

"The names Tiffany," Kensi said to him. "I'm undercover. I worked my way unto Morelli's life and into his organization. Things were going good until LAPD comes busting in. I can't go and say I'm a federal agent in front of these people, it blow my cover and get me killed. So the only thing I could do was let them arrest me."

"Are you crazy?" Deeks said. "I know I don't have a right to know, I'm not part of that team anymore." Deeks said. He never thought he'd be here with Kensi all these years later. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but since you are on the case. The bust was bound to happen, we have been casing his house for weeks now. Morelli is a major player and we took the opportunity to him out. Wait wait the raid was happing tomorrow night?"

"It wasn't really a raid, a group of cops come busting into the place and whoever happen to be there got arrest," Kensi said to him.

"This screws up everything, I have been working months to get this guy," Deeks said.

"And I've been under for six month," Kensi said. "I swear NCIS, FBI and LAPD need to talk more, because if I had one more week I would have been able to take him down."

"You've been undercover for six month? How did you end up on that case?" Deeks asked her.

"It started out as a Marine killed in an care accident, but when the autopsy results came in it showed he had high levels of Methamphetamine in his system. His ex-wife says he's not a drug user that he's a Marine through and through. We retraced his steps and it landed it at The Vault," Kensi started to explain to him.

"The new night club, that just opened nine months ago," Deeks said.

"Yeah that one," Kensi said. "When we looked into the club, turns out the owner Mickey Andre has connections to Morelli. Not to mention this would be the fifth overdose connected to the club. We looked into Morelli some more and found out not only his drug trafficking, but we believe he's helping fund a new terrorist group," Kensi continued to explain. "So I went in undercover trying to be Morelli's type to catch his eye. Figured if I had my foot in the door I could work my way out."

"So that makes you Morelli's girl? Or is it girl number 7?" Deeks said.

"It's not like that," Kensi said. "I got the chance to prove myself when someone tried to kill him. I ended up saving his life, not because I saw it coming, but because I didn't want to see him die. Because of this I moved up from being… look what it is isn't important. Just know that at first he wouldn't say a thing when I was around, now he won't stop talking. I almost had a name or a location. He had me come over to talk about something, but when I got there he wasn't there, but one of his guys was and then your detectives comes in and arrest us all."

"You are sure Morelli it's on to you?" Deeks asked her.

"If Morelli was on to me, I'd be dead already." Kensi said.

"Okay, so why isn't Hetty here or someone backing you up?" Deeks asked her.

"I'm sure Hetty will show up after I'm booked. Maybe pull some strings to get me release or keep me here so they don't think I'm a cop," Kensi said to him. "As for back up, I went in without it."

"Seriously Callen and Sam let you go in without one of them?" Deeks said.

"No," Kensi said.

"Then why don't you have back up?" Deeks asked.

"After you left Director Vance came down hard on us all… okay came down on Callen, Hetty and I. He gave us all a choice transfer or leave. Sam chose to leave and spend time with his family. Callen…. Well let's just say we had a falling out. He transferred to the Red Team, so he's bee helping them out. I'm still with Hetty."

"How… What…" Deeks started to say. "It's none of my business. Forget I asked."

"No it's fine," Kensi said. "Director Vance said one of us could stay with Hetty, we all agreed it should be Sam. Why should he be punished when he wasn't even involved, but Sam said he rather spend more time with his family. He put his papers in; we gave him a goodbye party. After that Callen said he'd go help out the Red Team. Paris and Him got along, so I guess he figured it be a good fit. For me I guess just luck of a draw."

"So about…." Deeks said not really sure how to ask the question.

"Look can you just book me or process me out," Kensi said. Deeks could see she was trying to change the subject. He knew that meant she was hiding something. "I shouldn't be in here any longer."

"Yeah" Deeks said. He then walked over to Kensi. She stood up and he cuffed her hands behind her back. He then walked her over to the door. He opened and the two started to head towards booking.

"You can't be serious," Kensi snapped at him. "Look I told you I don't know anything, I was just visiting."

"Keep walking," Deeks said lightly pushing her forward.

"I'm going to have your badge for this," Kensi said. "You can keep me here all night, but I'm not going to tell you any different." Deeks then undid her cuffs and placed her in the box.

"Shut up, you had your chance," Deeks said to her. "Looks like you rather spend the rest of you life in jail."

"Wait wait, I'm sure you can work out some deal," Kensi said trying to sweet talk him.

"I don't deal with people like you," Deeks said before walking away. He walked back over to his desk.

"She's a feisty one," Detective Flynn said.

"Shut up Flynn," Deeks said.

"Give me 15 minutes with her and she'll tell you everything you need to know," He said to her.

"And I'm sure she'll report you for harassment," Deeks said. "Let her be."

"Whatever," He said.

"Hey Flynn," Deeks said.

"Yes," Detective Flynn said.

"Cover for me, I have somewhere I need to be," Deeks said before heading out of the precinct.

Deeks headed down the bar where Hetty had manage to find him on his last undercover case before fully joining NCIS as the LAPD Liaison. He knew it would be safe to meet there and he needed to talk to Hetty. He was just hoping she would be willing to speak to him. When he got there he walked in and to the bar and Hetty was already sitting down at the table. He walked over and sat down across from her.

"What can I do for you Mr. Deeks?" Hetty questioned him.

"How deep is Kensi?" Deeks asked.

"I am afraid I don't know what you are talking about?" Hetty said to him.

"The Morelli case, how deep is she?" Deeks questioned again.

"The Morelli case," Hetty said. Deeks could see she either way hiding something or really didn't know. "I pulled Kensi out of that two months ago."

"Then why was she just arrested with Morelli's men?" Deeks asked.

"That can't be possible," Hetty said. "We handed the Morelli case over to the FBI."

"Kensi said she was working the Morelli case and was close to getting the Intel she needed before LAPD raided the place," Deeks said.

"I assure you Mr. Deeks that case is no longer ours," Hetty said to him. "I do not know what Ms. Blye is doing, but it is not one of ours."

"This doesn't make sense," Deeks said. "We got wind of Morelli three months ago, we've been trying to get him for a while. So why has no one said anything about him on FBI radar?" Deeks then remember Kensi saying this is why cops and federal agents need to talk to one another.

"Mr. Deeks," Hetty questioned.

"You have no other cases right?" Deeks asked.

"We do not," Hetty said. "Do you believe this is something going on?"

"I believe there is," Deeks said. "I think it has to do with Narcotics."

AN: Wasn't going to post this until a bit later in the week, but got some free time and figured I'd get it up. I was originally going to write a couple chapters of finding out who hit Kensi, but the idea in my head feel apart. I have moved past it and now we are three years in the future.
