Callen, Sam, and Kensi walked into OPS where they were stopped by their tech duo. Eric and Nell had ran down the stairs in order to reach the agents as quickly as possible.

"What do you have for us?" Callen asked.

"We found something interesting regarding Tony Gomez." Eric said.

"What?" Sam asked.

Nell and Eric walked over to their TV and posted the information from their tablets on the screen, the agents walked over and waited for the tech duo to begin speaking to them.

"It seems Gomez as well as a few other officers were involved in a very classified case a few years ago." Nell said.

"Who are the others?" Kensi asked.

Nell pulled up the names and one name caught everyone in the room attention, one of the names was Marty Deeks.

"Tony Gomez, William Harrison, Sean Carter, Marty Deeks, James Brown, Sara Jackson, and David Lynch." Nell listed.

Eric nodded, "With the explosion at the LA PD station and Officer Gomez's death is only leaves four alive from this classified case." Eric said.

"What is the case?" Callen asked.

Eric and Nell both shrugged, "We don't know. We've tried million of ways to hack in and find the case file, but its as if the case never happened." Nell said.

Eric nodded, "It's very strange."

Sam nodded, "Alright we have some kind of angel in this situation."

Callen nodded as well, "So whatever this case was about and whom ever it involved these officers clearly pissed someone off." Callen said.

"What are we going to do? Lt. Jackson won't let us near Deeks let alone another officer." Kensi said.

Callen looked at his friends, "We'll watch from afar. Try to find the right time to pull Deeks away from the officers. If these thugs are just after the ones involved in his case, we should hope that the explosion was not meant for all the officers who were killed."

Kensi looked at Callen, "We need to find out what this case is."

"Yes we do. Eric, Nell try on the case again. Sam and I will scout the addresses of the officers whom were on the list, and Kens you return to the hospital." Callen said.

Kensi nodded as well as Sam, then the agents and tech team split off into their own direction.

Deeks rubbed his face and looked at his watch on his wrist, it was noon. He had been up for a while, he managed to maybe get a few hours of sleep. The detective sat in a chair and then felt someone nudge him. He looks up and sees Sara sits next to him.

"Morning Marty." Sara said and handed him coffee.

"Its pass noon," Deeks said.

"Yeah but some are waking up now." Sara said.

Deeks took a drink of the coffee, "Sara I think my friends should help us."

Sara shook her head, "Marty you know as well as I do what they'll find out. You don't want that girl of yours to find out, do you?" Sara asked.

Deeks looked at Sara, "She isn't my girl."

Sara smirked, "I see the way you and her look at each other."

Deeks took a drink of his coffee, he felt Sara touch his leg. Deeks turned to her, he remembered at one point the two were partners when he was first starting on patrol. They were some what friends.

"So you think its them who are behind the attacks?" Deeks asked.

"Don't you? They are pissed, we destroyed their business and they know who we are." Sara said.

Deeks turned to her, "Also because you made a bad call causing the deaths of half their men. Of course they'd be pissed." Deeks said.

"Are you going to say it was my fault that you and other officers killed drug dealers and also some innocence citizens in the cross fire." Sara said.

Deeks turned from her to his coffee cup, "I never said it was your fault. I just said you made a bad call." Deeks said.

Sara sighed, "That is basically the same thing Marty."

Deeks turned to look at her and then stood up, he walked to a window. He leaned against the glass and watched doctors going from room to room. He turned seeing some of the officers chatting to each other silently and completely isolating Deeks. Deeks walked to the door and went to open it, but noticed the eyes on him.

"Where are you going Marty?" Liam asked.

"To see the condition on Lt. Bates and other officers." Deeks said and left.

He did go to the front desk, he spoke to a very nice nurse. She had a photograph in her hands as she was talking to the nurse next to her about her grand kids. The nurse saw Deeks and put the photo down, and smiled at him.

"Hello detective," She addressed.

"Um, you know the condition of Lt. Bates?" Deeks asked.

The nurse next to the elderly one nodded, "Yes um I am his nurse. My name is Rose."

"Marty," Deeks said.

"Hi Marty. Um Roger Bates, is on life support right now. He is in a coma." Rose said.

"What?" Deeks asked a bit confused.

Deeks remembered Liam telling him that Bates would be fine. It was just punctured lung and internal bleeding. Deeks didn't think it was that bad, it couldn't have been that bad.

"I am sorry Marty, it could go either way. Um can you help me with something?" Rose asked.

Deeks nodded, "Um sure."

"You work with Roger Bates, correct?" Rose asked.

Deeks nodded, "Yes."

"We are unable to locate a next of kin, do you know of anyone?" Rose asked.

Deeks shook his head, "Sorry I don't."

Rose nodded and wrote that in her file, the elder nurse noticed Deeks still needed something done. So the women stood up and looked at the detective with a warm smile on her old face.

"Anything else sweetie?" She asked.

"Um, any word on Jen Adams?" Deeks asked.

The elderly nurse smiled, "She'll make a full recovery."

Deeks smiled, "Thank you."

Deeks walked away from the front desk, as he walked back to the others there was an explosion in the parking lot. Deeks watched the officers run out first, Sara ran after them but Deeks wasn't so sure. Why cause an explosion in the parking lot?

"It's a trap," Deeks put the pieces together, "Sara!"

-NCISLA-

Deeks ran outside and saw the officers guided the wounded to the hospital, Sara was ordering men and helped a child get out of a car. Deeks ran over to her as she was helping others, the detective was looking around. Making sure there was no snipers.

"Sara, its a trap. They want us out in the open." Deeks said.

Sara glanced at Deeks and then turned to her men, "Hurry back to the building!"

Deeks grabbed a hold of a small boy, and began to head to the hospital as well as the others. Yet there was a small boy standing in the open, he was crying and was bleeding. Sara noticed this and ran out.

"Sara-!" Deeks screamed.

Sara ran out and the moment she got near the boy, a bullet was shot and into her head. Deeks and the officers stood there in utter shock, Deeks fell onto his knees and watched as the boy screamed louder. The body of Lt. Jackson laid on the ground, blood everywhere.

A car pulled up and grabbed the boy, then the car u turned and parked by the hospital doors. A familiar face came out of the car, it was Kensi. She carried the boy to his parents and turned to her partner. She ran over and picked him up, she forced him into the building.

"Deeks," Kensi spoke.

Inside the doctors and nurses rushed in utter panic to help the wounded but also protect their patients. Deeks watched at the flames burned and his former partner laid in her own blood. Deeks looked from the scene to his curtain partner, Kensi.

He hugged her tight, which surprised the women. Kensi held onto Deeks as tight as possible, she had no idea what was going on in his head. They've barely spoken much in the months she had been gone and it killed her. She knew it killed Deeks, a man who rarely showed any sign of weakness.

Kensi held onto him, "It's alright Deeks. I'm here."

-NCISLA-

Callen and Sam arrived later, the fire department put out the fire, and medics took the body of Sara Jackson away. Callen and Sam hurried into the building, they found officers scattered. Most stayed away from Deeks, who sat in a chair holding hands with Kensi. He had one hand on his face as he leaned forward, Kensi held onto his hand and rubbed his back. Callen and Sam walked over, Kensi looked up and formed a small smile.

"Deeks," Callen's firm voice spoke.

Deeks looked up, his baby blue eyes stared directly at the two senior field agents. Sam was never close with Deeks but after them being kidnapped and Deeks protecting the cover of his wife, Sam had the most trust in Deeks. He actually cared about the detective even though he cracks jokes about the officer being late. Callen watched Deeks rub the back of neck awkwardly before making eye contact again.

"How you feeling?" Sam asked.

"Um been better." Deeks said.

"Do you have any idea who would do this?" Callen asked.

Deeks glanced at his NCIS friends and then glanced to the officers, they were helping the nurses with the wounded. Deeks looked down and cleared his throat.

"Yeah, I have a small theory." Deeks said.

Kensi looked at him, "It's alright Deeks. Take your time." Kensi said.

"I know you probably have been at Gomez's house, found out he's dead. Probably found out about a classified case I was on as well as six other officers. It probably pisses you off that you cannot figure out how to unlock it." Deeks said and partly smiled.

"Deeks, we need to know about the case." Callen said.

Deeks felt his heart drop, "I know."

His head sank low, his arms rested on his knees and Kensi kept rubbing his back in support. Callen and Sam stood awaiting Deeks to speak, they didn't want to rush him. They didn't want to scare him or make him feel rushed in any way. This was hard for Deeks and they knew it.

"Two years ago, Bates had a top secret operation. It was created with the soul purpose to elimate the gang activity. It was getting worst, we kept getting phoned in by political people or just other cops that their car was trashed. So Bates found his best men and assigned an undercover mission. I was gone for maybe a few months, it was the worst. We- had to fit the part so my alias Max came back to the table." Deeks said and stopped.

Kensi knew how much Deeks hated being Max, it was the worst. She remembered when he was Max when they were looking for his pal Ray that Deeks was a different man. The once sweet and kind man was a dick and a terrible person. Max didn't have a care in the world, he didn't care who he hurt as long as Max got what he wanted.

"We rolled with the gang for a good while, each of us had our own job. We rolled with different part of the gang, we were involved in some crimes but were waved on the count we were undercover. Once we piled enough evidence to put these clowns away, all we had to do was arrest them. Unluckly for us Liam's wire was spotted and then the gang went crazy. Shots were fired and we reacted on surivial." Deeks said.

"Deeks," Kensi said.

Deeks knew where this was heading, he didn't want to mention it. He wanted to forget but he can't. Detective Deeks cannot forgot what he and his co-workers had done.

"We just reacted. We fired out rounds back at them, and took down maybe five men. Yet there was some activity near Brown's end, so Sara and I fired our weapons at the location. It was later we found out it was two children. A brother and a sister. We killed them, in cold blood." Deeks said.

"Deeks," Kensi said.

Deeks stood up and put his hands on his head, "I kept thinking maybe if I forgot or pretended to forget maybe- maybe it'll go away." Deeks said.

"You didn't know the children were in the building, it's not your fault." Callen said.

Deeks looked at Callen, "Thanks but I kept telling myself that but its my fault."

What will happen next?
