A/N: Happy belated Easter everyone! Please excuse the long absence (albeit it wasn't as long as before. LOL) but my health has been giving me problems, along with work. I'm also trying to sign up for disability so I have a lot going on.

Sorry for the short chapter, but it has a lot in it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

"So, Mr. Deeks. You are a profiler?" Hetty asked a few minutes after sitting down at her desk.

"Yes ma'am I am." Deeks said with a drawl.

"And before that you were a LAPD officer and a lawyer?" She inquired.

"That's right. An undercover cop during my LAPD years." He said with a smile.

"Impressive. I can see why they brought you onto our team. I have just one question though." She said.

"Okay." He said, a bit confused where this was going.

"You did all of that in just under 20 years. How?" She asked.

"I knew the right people." He stated with a small shrug.

"I see….well, I have a few things for you." She said, turning around and opening a cabinet behind her chair. She brought out a large folder with a badge, key and a gun on top, a SIG-Sauer P229 E2 he noticed. She handed him the whole package.

"The key is for your own locker, they are in the back corner behind the bullpen. The folder is from our department psychologist, Nate Getz. He isn't here right now, but he wanted me to give this to you. I'm guessing you know what it is?" She asked nicely, but he could see the suspicious look in her eye. He nodded and right as he took it he heard a door slam shut. The sound jolted him out of the moment he was in and he noticed all the commotion around him that hadn't been there when he had entered the building.

He could feel stares aimed at him and he turned to see three people, two men and a woman, watching him. He deducted that this was his team since they were standing near the bullpen, looking like they had caught sight of him as they were headed to their desks.

"Follow me, Mr. Deeks." Hetty said, getting up from her desk and headed in the direction of the three. He had never been nervous meeting new team members before, but this was a whole different situation. He took a deep breath as a cold feeling ran down his arms and back as he took in the calculating stares of his new team.

"Deeks, this is G. Callen, Sam Hanna and Kensi Blye. Callen, this is your new team member, SSA Marty Deeks, and Kensi's new partner." Hetty said, introducing everyone. Deeks smiled, but it instantly turned into a frown as the introductions didn't seem to ease any of the three. Something had to have happened to make them distrust people so easily.

He took in all three and immediately started to noting things. He noticed the rigid stance of his new partner and could see the wariness and little fear in her eyes. What had happened to put that there? He could only guess.

He took in Sam and could tell off the bat that he had military training. The way he walked, carried himself, spoke of strict training; maybe the navy or marines. He also could see the judgement on his face as Sam stared back at him, also taking in certain things about the new guy. Deeks guessed that his appearance didn't bode well with the older man.

Lastly, he took in Callen; the leader. He could see that something was weighing heaving on the man. He had a look of someone that had the weight of the world on his shoulders. He also had an air of mystery around him.

Deeks felt intrigued with this team, something he had never felt before on any other team he had been on. This was going to be an interesting job. He couldn't wait to be able to open the folder that Nate had given him. He would do that as soon as he got home, he couldn't open it here with everyone around.

For now he went to the empty desk that was next to Sam, he sat his gun and badge down and went to the locker. He discreetly put the folder in along with his bag and locked it up. He then went over and sat down and looked around.

"So, now what?" He asked.
