Where it all Began

Chapter 12

Deeks' P.O.V

We must have stood in the showers for longer than I thought because when I was torn from my inner thoughts I saw a burly man and an exotic woman. They worked silently and efficiently. Cara was no longer in her husband's arms. She was the Alpha preforming over watch. Neither the man nor the woman so much as looked at Cara, the fear that their leader would snap at them.

I, at that moment, felt as though I couldn't understand why she killed Chris. The man should have been arrested, given a fair trial, and then tossed in jail for what he nearly did to Kensi.

I just witnessed a murder.

That thought made my body go rigid. Kensi looked up at me but I kept my eyes trained on Cara's face, looking for any remorse. I found none.

When the body was prepped for transport Cara finally spoke. "You have done your job impeccably. Finish up then go to LAX. Remember your orders, I am in no mood for people to screw up." Her voice was commanding and to the point, leaving no trace of the woman who sat on the stairs and ate breakfast and made Kensi laugh just hours prior. No this was a war leader who just committed murder. What shocked me was that Kensi wanted to watch.

The man and woman both bowed and left with the body wrapped in a bag. Kensi dragged me into the women's locker room and pushed me in. "Are you okay?"

I shook my head and ran my hand through my hair. "No, I'm not okay Kens. I'm a cop, I just witnessed a murder." I whispered angrily.

She sighed. "And what makes it worse is that you willingly watched as your sister killed a man. I know what he nearly did but he should have been arrested."

She shook her head and stormed out. "Kensi!" I yelled after her. I found her before her sister in the bullpen the entire team sitting down looking forlorn.

Looking as though nothing happened Cara looked like she had just checked the mail and not just killed a man. My anger then got the best of me.

"What the hell was that?!" I yelled. Everyone turned to look at me.

"Deeks, you need to stop." Kensi said softly, but I remained focused on her sister.

"I did what I had to Detective." He voice was even.

"No, he should have been arrested, put on trial then thrown in jail!" and then for the briefest of seconds I saw a fury unlike any other flash through Cara's eyes.

"So that he can escape! Listen Detective meager prison bars are like butter to us, the guards would have been like a flea on a dog; a minor defect in the way to freedom. The man nearly raped my sister!" she was visibly shaking now. "Crimes have been dealt with this way in our world for nearly five thousand years! I will not change my ways because it makes you uneasy!"

"I'm a cop, everyone here are federal agents. Kensi you are a federal agent, this cannot sit well with you."

She looked at me with those polychrome eyes and saw her answer before she spoke. "Deeks, it's not the first time I have witnessed this. It's a part of my culture. I became a federal agent because it didn't sit well with me. So I dedicated my life to putting humans away, because they stay in jail. I found a balance, you can't ask for the wolves to change their laws. You will have to find a balance like I did." Her voice was soft and felt some of the anger leave me, but that doesn't mean I was okay with this.

"What about you?" I say turning to the man with the blonde hair and green eyes, Alex. "Your wife just killed your brother, how are you okay with this?"

"That man ceased to be my brother the moment he made a deal with Jack. And he ceased to live the moment we walked into that bathroom. He signed his own death warrant by trying to undermine my wife's law." Man and wife stood shoulder to shoulder.

I looked to everyone, and no one seemed to have the problem that I had. It obviously didn't sit well but they understood, human law doesn't apply to this situation, it ceased to apply the minute Jack threatened Kensi. I shook my head and began walking away. "Deeks wait," Kensi pleaded.

"I just… I need a minute." I turned around and barely heard Cara's voice. "Leave him be for a moment."

Kensi's P.O.V

I watched Deeks retreat to the gym, most likely to beat the crap out of a punching bag. Without a single thought I turned into my sister and hugged her. She embraced me immediately. "I am sorry Kensi, but it is the law."

"It's okay Cara. He will just need time to digest this. As a cop and a lawyer he has always stood for the law." I pulled away and squared my shoulders. "I need him to understand that your nation, our nation, is not in the realm of human control."

Cara's hand once again rested on the joint between my neck and shoulder. Alex touches her shoulder and they walk off. I sense the teams eyes on me, a million silent questions hang in the air but its Sam's voice that asks one.

"You have seen your sister execute someone before?"

"Two other times, one convicted of murder, the other… the first one she executed was a woman who tried to kill me. We were 21 and Cara had just become the figurehead of the war. It was then that I knew I needed a career that balanced this within me."

Everyone nodded. "Look I know that this is going against everything…"

"A man that is not human is threatening not only you but Deeks Kensi, we understand. Don't worry; you are still our little sister." Callen says as he places his hands on my shoulder.

"I still feel bad that you are all stuck in OPS because of me."

"We are not stuck in here because of you Ms. Blye," Hetty stated nearly sending my heart into overdrive. "We are here because an unstable man is threatening you and your family. We are merely lending a helping hand to those who are more apt to eradicating this threat. Now Ms. Blye go talk to him, he will need you to help him understand."

"Yes, Hetty." Without another word I make my way to the gym

I walk into the gym and see that he is holding nothing back from the punching bag. After a minute I notice that he doesn't have gloves on and his knuckles are bleeding. "Deeks Stop you're hurting your hands!" I yell as I run towards him and forcibly push him away. He looks every where but me. "Come on sit down."

He offers no resistance as I push him to the women's locker room and sit him by my gym locker. I point to the seat, when he doesn't move an inch I place both hands on his shoulder and gently coax him onto the bench. I quickly pull the first aid kit out of my gym bag and open it next to him on the bench. I sit on my knees between his so that I am eye level with him. "Give me one of your hands." My voice is so soft that is shocks even me.

He raises his right hand and I begin working on disinfecting the wound. "I am going to talk and you just listen okay Marty." He nods watching as I deftly move my hands over his bruised and bloody knuckles.

"I know that you don't understand why what just happened had to take place. But Marty, my sister, her husband, and Chris, and anyone under my sisters watch are not human. They are werewolves before they are human. They walk like us, talk like us, think like us and feel like us, although more intensely, but they are not human. If one day I go through the change I will cease to be human. Albeit I would still work here, but I would no longer be fully human. The supernatural world has its own laws. Look at what me and you do from their point of view, they disagree with our court system, they vehemently disagree with putting a criminal in jail to sit in a cell. A wolf that commits a petty crime has to work to pay off a loyalty debt, a wolf who murders, whether is a human or wolf life he takes, is put under trial immediately and if convicted is… well what happens to Chris happens to them." I take a breath remembering how often my sister had to do such a thing when she took over being Alpha.

As I finish with one hand I gesture for his other, I take a minute to reveal in how warm his hands are, and that even though he is sweaty I can still smell the ocean on his clothes and skin.

"Killing Chris was not easy, I know that she made it seem that way but Chris stood up in the chapel when she got married, he was her family."

"How many people has she…" his eyes found mine and I knew what he wanted to know.

"To many, most were in the beginning of the war when wolves were disorganized. I watched as it changed her, but it had to be done, it is the law. I know that you are a cop, a lawyer but these laws are actually in place to protect the humans, as well as the wolves."

I finished with his other hand but I didn't let it go, instead I wrapped my slender fingers around his hand and brought my other hand up to his cheek. I watched as a plethora of emotions shot through those blue eyes; distaste, understanding, hurt, confusion, and finally acceptance. I held my breath as I waited for him to speak.

"Well then I guess I will just have to work extra hard at putting humans in jail." His trademark grin spread across his face as he leaned in and planted a quick kiss on my lips.

Pulling back I scrunched up my nose. "Ugh, you smell like Monty, go take a shower." His laugh was music to my ears.

"What to join me?"

"Maybe…" I saw his shocked expression. "When this is all over."

Just as he was getting ready to go I got another email, from Jack. "What is it?"

I told him and we quickly ran up to OPS where the whole team had gathered. "Nell I got another email."

Quickly another video began playing.

So I take it Chris failed. Hm oh well, he was a means to an end. The real fun, is about to begin.

His lips pulled back in a sneer and a maniacal laugh sounded. I began to fear what was about to come.

"Are you guys tracking this video?" Callen demanded.

"Yes but it is bouncing all over the country. I don't think we will get a pinpoint." Eric said in a small voice.

You are hard people to find, but you will not be able to hide in your little rabbit hole for long Kensi. Now Cara I know that you are there, so I left you and your sister a little gift at the place where all of this began.

"My old apartment." I whisper. I see Cara nodded out of the corner of my eye.

Kensi, Chris may have failed, but do not count on my not taking what is rightfully mine. He licked his lips as he closed his eyes, you always were a firecracker in bed, oh how I miss the taste, the sound. Deeks growled next to me. I will have that again.

The screen went blank. All of OPS what silent, Cara's frustrated growl broke me out of my waking nightmares. "I will go to your old apartment with Alex, you stay here, and luckily this place is still secure."

She didn't even give me time to argue as her and Alex stormed out of OSP.

Soon we would realize that a building full of humans was nothing when your enemy is a master at hiding in the shadows. And if only I was more like my sister, but the wolf in me was too stubborn to come out.

A/N: so i have every intention of bringing Talia into this but do not know how. ideas are welcome so please send me some ideas!
