Deeks walked back into see Tiffany. "Have you heard from Steadman at all?"

"No, just Quinn."

"Sit tight, we're gonna figure this out. Who's taking care of the baby while your in here?"

"They took him. You know I don't have any family. Marty? Will you keep him until you can clear my name?"

Deeks took a step back, not sure it would fly with Kensi, especially with all the turmoil they were facing, but the idea of the innocent child in a foster home while his mother was locked up was unbearable. "Ok. Whiting can you make the call."

Whiting looked at him in disbelief, "you sure about this?"

Deeks pouted his lips together and exhaled, "Nope, not at all."

"Ok Callen," Gaines began. "So you knew for quite some time before the rest of your team that Mosley has a son who was taken by Spencer Williams?"

"That is correct."

"What happened next?"

"When the connection to Spencer Williams was found with the suspect, Mosley informed us she would be transporting him. I sent Detective Deeks and Special Agent Blye to follow her."

"They agreed?"

"I gave them a direct order."

"Detective Deeks stated that the EAD used extreme force on that suspect. When he objected to her treatment, words became heated and she fired him, and had him escorted off the property and home."

"Correct again," Callen was getting annoyed going over the same things repeatedly.

"No one backed Detective Deeks?" Gaines questioned.

"It was a volatile situation. There was a lot going on and everyone was taken back at what was transpiring. No one thought she was going to stick to it."

"And then Detective Deeks headed to Mexico with you as well?"

"Yes we were getting ready to take off when we were stopped by two town cars with Deeks in tow. He's an excellent team member."

"Yes, I've heard good things about him, as well as your entire team. I hope you realize, Agent Callen, that I am here to help."

" I hear you say that, but I'm not sure how effective rehashing the events over and over are going to solve anything. As well as you're keeping me tied up here and I cannot properly lead my team."

"Point taken, Agent Callen. Just a few more things then. Do you agree with the way EAD Mosley handled the situation?"

Callen paused briefly, "We have all gone rouge at one point or another, Deputy Director. We have all worked with our emotions on high. Do I think there was another way looking back, perhaps, but in that moment, I honestly cannot answer that."

"Thank you for your honesty, Agent Callen. I'll let you know if I need anything additional."

"I'm sure you will."

Up in OPS, Beale and Nell were tracking Tiffany's movements over the last two years. Steadman had been transferred to the same prison John Quinn had been moved to when it was made to look as if he escaped.

"How did Steadman get moved there?" Beale wondered aloud.

"Ferris? All the stuff with the mole? Is that possible?" Nell joined in the wondering aloud. "More digging to see who authorized the transfer. John Quinn was processed under an alias, so how would anyone know?" The Wonder twins were stopped for the time being.

"Our servers were infected for the better part of a year. Anything that transpired during that time could have easily been retrieved, even if we thought we were careful."

"Wonder twins power activated!" Beale and Nell slapped hands ready to plow in.

They filled in Kensi and Sam over coms and went to work.

—

Sam and Kensi pulled up to Monica Lee's office.

"Do you think she could be involved?" Kensi asked Sam.

"I wouldn't put it past her to fall on the wrong side of the law again." Referencing her dealings with Carl Fisk, while being blackmailed by him. "Her and John Quinn were working together back then, she may have known he got Tiffany pregnant."

"I can't believe she had a baby with Quinn. After everything Deeks did for her."

"Hey," Sam put a hand on Kensi's shoulder. "We're not sure she did anything against him yet.

Kensi groaned, "I can't take much more Sam."

"It's gonna be ok, Kens"

Deeks walked into the child protective services waiting area.

"May I help you?" An overworked woman hastily greeted him.

"Yes, I'm Detective Marty Deeks with LAPD. I'm here to pick up Tiffany Williams' son."

"Oh yes little Martin, are you his father?"

"What? No no. I I agreed to take care of him while we get his mother out of her predicament. His name is Martin?" Deeks was completely taken back by his name. He knew he had helped Tiffany, but the fact that she named her son after him was something he couldn't fathom.

"Yes, Martin Williams. I'm sorry, I just assumed with the same name." The woman paused. "Anyway, here are the belongings we were given when he was placed in our custody. He was fed and changed about an hour ago. Good luck, detective," the woman could see the uneasiness in Deeks' expression.

The child was a little over a year old. Deeks could see the cross between Quinn and Tiffany in his face. He stared at the young boy and began to picture what a miniature mix of Kensi and himself would look like. "Alright little guy, I guess we need to go introduce you to Kensi. You might need to protect me from her." The little boy gazed up with a big semi toothless smile.

"She's gonna kill me," he lamented to himself. With that thought, he positioned the car seat, bundled the child in and headed home.

"Who do I owe this unexpected surprise to?" Monica Lee looked at Kensi and Sam.

"Where's your normal partner?" She motioned to Kensi.

"Busy bailing Tiffany Williams out of prison. You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you? When was your last contact with John Quinn or Bruce Steadman?" Kensi queried the lawyer.

"Steadman! The last time I saw him, your crew was dragging him off in cuffs for almost killing me. My finger is still crooked from him! What's this about?"

"How bout Quinn?" Sam threw in.

"Did they ever catch him after he escaped custody? That's part of my life I wanted to forget. I almost got disbarred over everything that transpired."

"Well then what about Tiffany Williams?"

"Who? Oh you mean her boyfriends ex-hooker?" Monica said nodding towards Kensi.

Sam had to hold Kensi back from almost attacking Monica. "Kensi, why don't you head back to the car and I'll finish up."

Kensi reluctantly went outside. She decided to check in with Deeks.

"Hey babe," she uttered when he picked up the phone sounding out of breath. "Deeks? What are you doing?"

"Kenselina my love, how soon til you'll be home."

"Sam is finishing questioning Monica Lee now, so probably within the hour. Deeks, are you alright?"

"Yes..." he paused. "Just hurry home." With that he hung up the phone.
