Hetty shut the door to the safe house behind her and turned to the agent that was approaching the house.
"This location does not exist, and unless you hear from me or a message is being delivered from me then nobody gets to enter these doors. Am I clear?" She asked.
"Yes Ma'am." The agent said.
Then Hetty turned and left. She headed to her car, got in and headed for the field house. The thought to go to the boat shed and see how her newest agent was doing crossed her mind, but with Devereux backing Deeks up the field house was the better choice. She was hoping that Callen, Sam and Kensi were making progress with the three cops that were arrested last night.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Deeks parked his vehicle at the café that he told Talia about two years ago.
{There ain't a chance in this crazy world I getting my vehicle shot up!} Deeks thought.
As he approached the boat shed he saw that it had been repaired, or at least the structure itself had been repaired; not sure about the interior. As he got close he pressed his left side against the wall and crouched down. Deeks crouch walked to the corner of the building with the parking lot; as he approached the corner he took a peek. Deeks was dumbfounded, and unsure of he was seeing.
{What happened?} Deeks thought.
Deeks got up from his crouch position and walked into the parking lot. The cops that were waiting for him were dead in the middle of the parking lot. Walked over and checked the bodies. They all had large caliber holes in their heads. Deeks pulled out his phone and made a call.
"What is it Deeks?" Devereux asked.
"Did you see what happened?" Deeks asked.
"What do you mean?" Devereux asked.
"I was expecting a shootout, and all the cops are dead. Large caliber, .45 or bigger, round in each of the cops heads; you got any idea what happened." Deeks said
"Oh that's strange. I saw the cops talking to a group of men after I texted you. They looked like trouble, so I took off." Devereux said.
"Do you know what type of vehicle these new guys were driving?" Deeks asked.
"SUV's, with all the windows darkened; like it was a fed entourage." Devereux said.
"Or it was somebody pretending to be with the federal government." Deeks said. "How many vehicles?"
"Two." Devereux said.
"So what do you want to do now?" Deeks asked.
"Give me a few hours and I will call you."Devereux said.
"See you then." Deeks said, and then hung up his phone. He took in the scene and the called it in.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
On a pier near the boat shed was a man standing with binoculars looking into the distance. He had watched the whole ordeal at the boat shed: The shootout with the dirty cops, the arrival of Agents Deeks. He pulled out his phone and called a number.
"Yes." A voice on the other end said.
"The guest of honor is here, but his partner is not with him. I saw a man that has been tailing our target; do you want me to engage?" The man asked.
"No I will come up with a plan to get the partners away from their friends. Keeping watching for now." The voice on the other end of the line said, and then hung up.
The man continued to watch Deeks for a little longer, and then walked away.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Deeks got in his vehicle and head to the field house to see what Sam, Callen, and Kensi had dug up. On his way he called Eric.
"Hello." Eric said.
"Eric, it's Deeks; did you find anything on Leah Umphrey?" Deeks asked.
"Last I check she didn't exist until two thousand four. I have a driver's license photo for Leah, but nothing older than that. Leah must have made some powerful friends." Eric said.
Deeks processed what Eric had said.
{Didn't exist until two thousand four.} Deeks thought.
"It's not that Leah doesn't exist, you just to need to find the right link." Deeks said.
"Care to share." Eric said.
Deeks heard a muffled beep; he pulled his phone away and saw that he had a message. It was from Devereux.
{That was fast.} Deeks thought.
[Market square; twelve o'clock.]
"I'll keep you posted, I got run. Devereux just texted me, so the game begins again." Deeks said.
"Talk to you later Deeks." Eric said and, then disconnected the call.
Deeks headed for the market to see what kind of trouble that would be awaiting him.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
At the field house Sam was finish interrogating one of the cops, and heading back into the main rooms
"That's all of them." Sam said as he was taking a seat at the table.
Sam and Callen were chatting about the direction of the case when Kensi spoke up.
"That's strange."
"What's strange?" Callen asked.
"There was supposed to be a shootout at the boat shed, but there isn't a word on any of the news stations." Kensi said.
Callen and Sam looked at each other and then went to watch the news with Kensi. While the agents were watching the news, Kensi phone beeped. She checked her phone and saw that she had a message from Deeks.
[I love you Fern.] Deeks texted her.
[I love you too, Shaggy.] Kensi texted back. [Hey baby what happened?]
[Somebody got the jump on the cops. They were all dead by the time I showed. Why do you asked?] Deeks texted back.
[Because there isn't a shred of evidence that there was a shootout today.] Kensi texted.
[Must have used a suppressor. Have Eric run camera footage in the area of the boat shed.] Deeks texted back.
[You do realize the boat shed won't be on camera?] Kensi texted.
[But we can look for vehicles that are moving in the direction about the time of the shooting] Deeks texted.
[Give it to me, and I will have Eric run it down.] Kensi texted.
[Devereux said that he saw a two suv's with darkened windows; and I'm sorry I didn't ask for make or model.] Deeks texted back.
[I'll work with it. Be careful babe.] Kensi texted back.
[You too sugar bear.] Deeks texted back.
Kensi speed dialed ops to talk to Eric.
"Hello." Eric said.
"Eric I need you to run a trace for some vehicles that might have been near a shooting this morning." Kensi said.
"Lay it on me." Eric said.
"Two suvs with darkened windows heading to and from the boat shed, or the general area, about two three hours ago." Kensi said.
"I'll run a kaleidoscope search for said suvs, or make an attempt on one." Eric said, and then hung up the phone.
It was about that time that the agents came in and took the dirty cops to be process, and the three agents headed back to the mission.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Deeks was walking through the market and reminiscing of when he was her last. It was when he was chasing Ray four years ago. Deeks was lost in thought he didn't realize that he was being tailed. It took him a few more seconds and then he saw his tails' reflection on the glass display next to him. It was a woman, couldn't guess her height, her hair was blonde. Deeks turned to see Leah Umphrey two feet behind him. Leah grabbed the nearest person and threw them on Deeks before he could react. Just as Deeks was getting to his feet Leah was nearing the exit.
"ANN!" Deeks shouted at the top of his lungs.
Leah had stopped dead in her tracks. She didn't turn around for a few moments. When she turned around and looked at Deeks it was with a shocked expression on her face. They made eye contact for what seem like an eternity. Deeks was going to walk to Leah, but she turned and ran out of the market. Deeks emotions were thrown into overdrive and he was fighting with all his might to keep the tears at bay.
"But, why?" Deeks whispered fighting back tears; and then his phone beeped. Deeks took his phone out and saw that he had a message from Devereux.
[Dumpster behind the market.]
Deeks put his phone away, wiped the tears out of his eyes, and then made his way out behind the market place. As he was making his way towards an exit Deeks got lost in his thoughts about Leah, whose name was actually Ann.
{Eric, I found your missing link to Leah Umphrey.} Deeks thought.
As Deeks was approaching the first, of three dumpsters, he was preparing himself for whatever he may find. He opened the first dumpster saw that it was empty. Then he moved onto the next dumpster, and again found nothing. He moved onto the next dumpster and opened it and was reward with his prize: a dead body of a white female with a plastic bag over her head. And judging by the smell, if that is legitimate thing because of the dumpster, she has been dead for a few hours or longer. Deeks made the call to nine-one-one to call in the body. Then Deeks took a picture and called Eric.
"Hello." Eric said.
"Eric it Deeks; I'm sending a picture your way of the dead vic. I just found." Deeks said as he sent the picture to Eric. It took Eric all of two seconds to get a hit.
"The victim is D.A. Sharon Montez. She has a long list of victories against organize crime in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles." Eric said.
"Hold on; if her specialty is organized crime, how did she get mixed up in the Hermit Crab trial?" Deeks asked. It was about this time the police and coroner showed up to examine the body, the crime scene, and canvas the area. Deeks was approached by a detective.
"Are you the one that called in the body?" The detective asked.
"Eric I'm going to have to call you back." Deeks said.
"I'll talk to you later Deeks." Eric said, and then disconnected the call on his end.
"I'm Special Agents Marty Deeks, N.C.I.S.; the only thing I touched was the lid to the dumpster." Deeks said showing his credentials.
"Any clue who the vic. is?" The detective asked.
"District Attorney Sharon Montez." Deeks said.
"Montez." The detective said the rushed over to look at the body. "That's her alright; any idea who would want her dead?"
"She was working a case five years ago. I was on that same case also. A serial killer that would kidnap a woman and then trade her for her lover; few months later the lover is found dead, and the serial killer is long gone. He steals the victim's identity and moves onto his next victim." Deeks said.
"The "Hermit Crab" case?" The detective asked.
"Yeah, you know anything about it?" Deeks asked.
"Not much, I was a sergeant at the Twelfth when it first cropped up twenty years ago; I'm surprised it's still going. Wait are you telling me all the deaths that have showing up in the past two weeks are related to that case?" The detective asked.
"In a nutshell, yes." Deeks said.
"What's your connection?" The detective asked.
"I'm the target in this after the killer is done having his fun." Deeks said.
"That's it for now; we'll contact you if we have further questions." The detective said.
Deeks walked away from the scene heading for his vehicle, but not before taking a trip down memory lane. As he was walking back through the market he stopped by the little both that Ray's girlfriend worked.
{Or is it wife? They could be married by now.} Deeks thought.
Deeks walked away from the booth and heading for his vehicle to head back to the mission, or the field house wherever he was needed; as he was approaching his suv he pulled out his phone and called Eric back.
"Hello." Eric asked.
"Did you learn how Montez got involved with Devereux case?" Deeks asked.
"I think she just stepped up and took it. Montez already proved herself by taking down mobsters, so this should have been a walk in the park for her. Little did she know that it was going to get her killed." Eric said.
"Yeah well, none of these victims knew that it was going to get them killed." Deeks said.
"Mr. Deeks." Hetty said speaking into the line
"Yes Hetty." Deeks said.
"Care to explain why Mr. Beale has been searching for a woman by the name of Leah Umphrey?" Hetty asked.
"She's a person of interest to the case." Deeks said.
"Does she know anything about the trial?" Hetty asked.
"As far as I can tell no; she has no direct contact with this case." Deeks said
"You know my policy about using company resources for personal gain." Hetty said.
"Hetty this woman keeps showing up at the strangest times. Crap she just approached me about twenty minutes ago before I found the body." Deeks said. "She knows who I am, but hasn't realized it yet."
"Do you know who she is?" Hetty asked.
"I need more proof, but I have an inkling." Deeks said.
"Care to share?" Nell asked.
"Once I get back to base because I need access to a few databases, but right now I'm heading out to the field house to meet up with the rest of the crew." Deeks said.
Deeks phone beeped again. It was a message from Devereux.
{Thirty-fifth and Broadway in the valley.}
"On second thought, I'll check in later." Deeks said.
"Why?" Eric asked.
"I'm guessing another body dropped in the valley." Deeks said.
"Do you need back up?" Hetty asked.
"Hetty if Devereux wanted me dead he would have done it already. Oh, and Hetty." Deeks said.
"Yes Mr. Deeks." Hetty said.
"Keep them safe." Deeks said.
"I will Mr. Deeks." Hetty said and the hung up the phone.
Deeks cleared the line and checked his battery, and saw that he had one bar left. As he got in his vehicle he plugged is phone so it could charge and headed for the valley to see who the next victim is.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Hetty was approaching the bull pen to get an update about the dirty cops from the rest of her team.
"So where are we on the dirty cops?" Hetty asked.
"It was pretty cut and dry." Callen said.
"How so?" Hetty asked.
"The guys that we arrested and interrogated are just the peons. The big shot skipped town." Sam said.
"And the big shot being?" Hetty asked.
"Spears." Kensi said.
"And where is Brock Spears currently located at?" Hetty asked.
"Unknown. After the boat shed bombing he was spotted boarding a plan for Central America." Callen said.
"So we won't be able to find him?" Hetty asked.
"Well Deeks did say that Devereux had a conversation with Spears." Kensi said.
"We all know what the chances are that Devereux while divulge the details about that about that man." Hetty said.
"Actually, the chances are statistically high that we will be able to get the whereabouts of Spears out of Devereux." Kensi said.
"How do you figure?" Callen asked
"Devereux has been giving everything to Deeks on a silver platter." Kensi said.
"So." Callen said.
"Devereux is going to give the Deeks Spears whereabouts." Sam said.
"What makes you so certain Mr. Hanna?" Hetty asked.
"Devereux is expecting Deeks to clean up this mess; even to the point of hunting Spears down in whatever country he is in right now." Sam said.
"And if Spears is in a non-extradition country?" Hetty asked.
"Knowing Deeks he'll figure it out when we get there." Kensi said.
"Well until that time comes we do what we can to back Deeks up. The last two bodies have dropped." Hetty said, and then walked away. The agents looked at each other and then debated on how to keep the case in their favor.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Deeks was approaching address and saw that there was a crowd, or at least in the front of the building. He parked his vehicle and got out and walked to the building at the address. As Deeks walked into the building he looked for the restrooms; not that he actually needed to go, but given where they found the second body it's a possible location. When he got to the hall with the bathrooms he cracked the door on the woman's restroom and took in the sight on the smell; no joy. Deeks walked across the hall into the men's room and was reward with a blood bath, but was shocked to see where the blood trail went. Deeks looked at the wall and saw a blood trail leading up the wall and out the window.
"Wow Devereux; you are getting creative." Deeks said.
Deeks exited the bathroom and politely told a store associate that there was a mess in the men's room that needed to be cleaned up, and walked out the door. Deeks walked around back and found the window with more blood around the wall and ground beneath the window. Deeks followed the blood trail to the dumpsters.
"Devereux, please tell me you didn't put this man in the dumpster?" Deeks said.
Deeks notices that the trail went to the side of the dumpster. Where the trail ended was under a tarp that had feet sticking out from under it. Deeks put on a pair of gloves, and then pulled back the tarp and saw that it was a white male in his late fifties, early sixties, with his throat slit. Deeks took another photo and called the police to let them know he found another body. After he got off the phone the store associate that he informed about the mess in the men's room was approaching him at the pace of a brisk jog and was about to ask him a question when they saw the body.
"Oh Mr. Hayes." The associate said.
"You know this man?" Deeks asked.
"Yeah. His name is Kyle Hayes; comes into the store every other week and buys a few knick knacks. Who would do suck a horrible thing?" The associate asked.
"A sociopath." Deeks said. "You go back inside and attend to the store; the cops will attend to Mr. Hayes and the bathroom."
The associate walked away, and after the associate clear the alley the police and coroner showed up to take control of the scene. Another detective approached Deeks to question him.
"You call in the body." The detective asked.
"Special Agent Marty Deeks, N.C.I.S.; I put gloves on before touching anything." Deeks said.
"Id. on the victim?" The detective asked.
"According to the associate on duty in this establishment, his name is Kyle Hayes. He came into the store every other week and bought a few knick knacks." Deeks said point to the building they were standing next to.
"Anything of importance that would require a federal agent?" The detective asked.
"He is a victim tied to a case I was working for the last ten years. I'm guessing he was a juror for a case five years." Deeks said.
"Wow. I think I have all I need; if there are any problems, or we have any question we'll be in touch." The detective said and then went to work the crime scene. Just before Deeks walk away he saw something in the man's hand. He opened it and pulled out a piece of paper. He saw that it was a note for him.
Deeks-
In five days, I will kidnap you fiancée.
Devereux.
Deeks talked to a crime scene tech about grabbing an evidence bag because of the note being for him. The follow the chain of evidence and he signed for it and left the crime scene. Deeks got in his vehicle and headed back to mission.
"It's time we put an end to this cat and mouse game Leah Umphrey." Deeks said.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Sam, Kensi and Callen were the gym sparring and keeping in shape, but mostly taking a break from the monotony of doing all that paper work. So when Deeks showed up an hour later he was able to sneak past the bull pen without any problems. Of course Hetty was on the prowl somewhere, but he wasn't worried about her.
{Knowing her she will no doubt see the search after I leave.} Deeks thought.
Upon entering ops Eric was the only one in the tech room.
"Eric I need you to show me what you have on Leah Umphrey." Deeks said.
Eric typed in a few lines and brought everything that he was able to find on Leah Umphrey. Deeks scanned the information, but what caught his attention a picture. The picture was of a mother and child, but the funny part was that the child was wearing shoes with velcro straps.
"Print me a copy of this picture." Deeks said pointing at the picture that he was looking at.
Eric printed the picture and gave them to Deeks.
"What's Leah address? And Send it to my phone." Deeks asked.
"How do you know who Leah is?" Eric asked as he brought her address, and sent it to Deeks phone.
Deeks took the tablet from Eric and typed in a name.
"Anybody you know?" Eric asked.
"Yep, a blood relative." Deeks said and the left ops, with Eric hot on his tail. Eric wiped the screen of the search as he exited.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Sam, Callen, Kensi and Nell were all in the bull pen as Deeks and Eric were coming down the stairs.
"Deeks, when did you get back?" Kensi asked.
"About a half hour ago. Kensi I need the keys to the SRX." Deeks said.
"Why?" Kensi asked as she was handing him the keys.
"Because we're going to pick somebody up, and the challenger will only slow us down." Deeks said taking the keys from Kensi and throwing them at Sam.
"We're?" Callen asked.
"Yeah, we're. Kensi is going to the field house to wait. Meanwhile Callen, Sam, Nell, and I are going to extract a person of interest." Deeks said.
"So how is this going to work?" Nell asked.
"Callen and Sam will be in the SRX waiting for the call." Deeks said.
"What are we going to be doing?" Nell asked.
"Bait and Diversion." Deeks said.
"Bait and Diversion?" Nell asked.
"Yeah Devereux will be there. You will lead him out into the open. From there I will keep him busy will you escape with the person. And not to leave you with any doubts Devereux will try to kill you, but he will hesitate before that happens." Deeks said.
"And you want to put Nell in the thick of that? Why not take Kensi?" Callen asked.
Deeks was about to pull out the note from the crime scene, but remembered that he referred to Kensi as fiancée and not partner.
"Let's just say that this little game is winding down and Kensi will be removed from our presence for a few days." Deeks said.
"What does that mean?" Sam asked.
"It means, Mr. Hanna, that this case is reaching it conclusion. With that being said, Mr. Deeks is trying to tell us that Devereux will kidnap Kensi to continue with his game." Hetty said walking into the bull pen her usual way.
"We can discuss this later, and on top of that it only gets more complicated; but we will discuss this later. Sam here's the address we are going to. I'll text you when we arrive." Deeks said.
With that the team got up and left for the field.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
As Deeks was approaching the field house he parked it and got to talk to Kensi.
"This is what I found on the last body." Deeks to Kensi before she entered the building.
Kensi took the note and read it. She almost collapsed when she was reading it. Kensi threw her arms around Deeks and kissed him, and they just held each other for a moment.
"Come back in one piece." Kensi said with tears in her eyes.
"I will. I love you princess." Deeks said.
"I love you too, Marty." Kensi said.
Deeks was taken back by Kensi using his real name. The stared at each other and kissed one last time. When the pulled away Kensi walked into the field house and Deeks returned to his vehicle. After they were a few miles into the trip to the address where they're supposed to be meeting Sam and Callen, Nell asked.
"What did that note have written on it?"
"Deeks, in five days I will kidnap your partner." Deeks said, lying to Nell. Deeks didn't want to let out that Kensi and he had planned on getting married. The rest of the trip was made in silence.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Callen and Sam were bickering as usual when Sam got a text from Deeks.
{Entering the building now, be ready.}
"They're entering the building now." Sam said looking up from his phone.
"I see them." Callen said pointing to the apartment building that they were waiting near.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Nell and Deeks found the apartment for Leah Umphrey and knocked on the door. A few minutes later Leah answered the door. Her eyes got huge when she saw Deeks and was about to slam the door in their faces, but Deeks stopped her.
I don't mean any harm, but I think it's time we had a nice chat." Deeks said.
Leah walked away letting Deeks and Nell in. Nell went into the living room and chatted with Leah, while Deeks was exploring the house looking for evidence. Deeks can here Nell telling Leah about the case they were working on, but didn't divulge any details because of the sensitivity of the case. It took Deeks all of ten minutes of being in the house to find pictures. What was truly odd was that Leah had the same picture that Deeks had asked Eric to print out for him. Deeks took out the picture and put it next to the one that Leah had; they were a match.
{What have you been up to since you have been gone.} Deeks thought as he looked back towards the women talking.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Back out on the street Callen and Sam were still bickering when they saw a familiar figure walking into the apartment building that Nell and Deeks had entered to about twenty minutes later.
"Crap! Devereux just showed up." Callen said
"Deeks anticipated his arrival." Sam said as he was texting the two upstairs.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Nell was checking her phone after she heard the beep.
[Devereux just showed, so be prepared.] Sam sent to both her and Deeks.
[Don't fret Nell, just stay calm and I will take care of the rest] Deeks texted her.
{If you say so Deeks.} Nell thought as she put her phone away.
Nell calculated how much time she before Devereux would let himself in.
{He will probably let himself in, so I won't have much more than five minutes, six tops.} Nell thought
"Something wrong?" Nell asked.
She was brought out of her thought when she saw that Leah was shaking, but it wasn't cold in the apartment. Nell turned around and realized that she was shaking out of fear.
{Crap I miscalculate the time.} Nell thought.
When Nell looked at the door way leading to the exit, Devereux was standing with a loaded gun pointing at her.
"Any last words Miss. Jones?" Devereux asked.
Nell saw Deeks walk up behind Devereux.
"Surprise." Nell said in a mocking voice.
Devereux stare at her incredulously and then realization hit him. Just as he was turning around to see what was behind him Deeks put a kick center mass and sent Devereux flying.
"Nell get her out of here now!" Deeks shouted.
Nell grabbed Leah's hand and the two women raced from the apartment. As Nell cleared the apartment Devereux was getting back to his feet. He saw that Deeks had his gun trained on him and thought that this was the end, but Deeks did something strange. Deeks popped the magazine out of the chamber, and ejected the bullet from the chamber and laid the gun and ammo on the table, and then he pulled a folding tactical knife off of his belt and lay on the table next to the gun. Devereux realized what was going on, and followed suit with his weapons. Deeks and Devereux both squared up to each other and waited in silence. It was ten minutes before anybody spoke, or made a move. And then the two men charge each other and engaged in a fist fight.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
As Nell and Leah were exiting the building it took them all of thirty seconds to find Callen and Sam. The SRX pulled up and the driver's was window lower down.
"Get in!" Callen shouted.
The two women jumped in through the passenger's door on the driver side. As the door shut Callen had peeled out, heading for the field house.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Deeks and Devereux fought to a draw. The fist fight had last for an fifteen minutes, and then Devereux took a knee. The two men reloaded their weapons and rearmed themselves. The two men looked at each other, nodded and parted ways. Devereux left the apartment, while Deeks cleaned himself up before he left for the field house. Deeks looked in the mirror and saw that he walked away with a few minor scrapes and scratches. After he patched himself up, he grabbed the picture from Leah's office and headed for the field house. It took Deeks an hour to get to the field house.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Callen, Sam, Nell and Kensi were at the field house for about an hour and a half waiting for Deeks. Then Callen had a thought.
"Anybody want to take a guess on how Deeks know this woman?" Callen asked.
"Well Leah approached us the day after he was released from the hospital. Deeks got a good look at her face and said that he got the feeling that he knew her. Almost a familial connection was shared with this woman." Kensi said.
"They're related, how?" Nell asked.
"Deeks thinks that there is a blood bond in there somewhere." Kensi said.
"Give me ten minutes and I will prove it." Deeks said as he walked. "Which room?"
"Number two." Kensi said.
Deeks walked over and placed the picture on the table and walked into room two. Sam, Callen, Kensi and Nell looked at the picture and took it in. Before they could understand the picture they heard the door open and Deeks step in and shut it behind him.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
"You!" Leah said surprised as Deeks took a seat at the table.
"Yes, me. I always wonder about this day; no, I dreamed about this day! Nothing I dreamed of could have prepared me for how this day actually turned out." Deeks said.
Leah had a look of confusion on her face.
"Don't look at me like I'm stupid!" Deeks exclaimed. "You know who I am. At first you didn't realize who I was. You thought you might have been seeing a ghost when we saw each other for the first time on the beach last year."
There was a moment of silence. Leah did understand what Deeks was saying, but remained quiet from a moment.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
Hetty walked into the field house to see her agents and tech analyst with their eyes glued to the tv.
"What has been said so far?" Hetty asked.
"Nothing of importance so far." Callen said after he had regained his composure. So they all waited in silence.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
"What do you want from me?" Leah asked.
"I think the question is more "what do you want with me?" is more appropriate." Deeks said.
"And how is that relevant?" Leah asked.
"I don't know, why don't you tell me Ann?" Deeks asked.
There was a moment of silence. Leah started to freak out a little.
"How do you know that name?" Ann asked.
Deeks didn't say anything. He pulled the picture that he took from Ann's apartment and put it on the table. Then he got up and walked around to Ann's side of the table. Ann looked at Deeks wondering what was going on; then she looked at the picture. It was the picture from her apartment, but something struck her funny. She looked at Deeks, then back at the picture. Ann flipped over the picture and saw something written on the back.
"Ann and Marty Brandel- nineteen eighty-six." Ann said.
Ann was lost in her thoughts, and then she realized what was going on. And with tears in her eyes she said looking at Deeks.
"Baby."
"Hi, mom." Deeks said.
N.C.I.S. L.A.
"Hi, mom." Deeks said on the screen.
Ann Brandel threw herself at Deeks and started to cry.
"MOM!" The analyst and the agents exclaimed together; while Hetty was standing there silence.
T.B.C.
