Greetings my friends! Okay so it seems I made a little boo-boo in my time line for the story. (Thanks to Bard15 and a guest reviewer for pointing it out) Oops – I blame the cold weather, seems the cold affected what my brain wanted to write and what my fingers actually wrote. Hahaha (well that's my hair-brained excuse.) So I've gone back through the chapters and fixed up the little mistakes. If you can go back from chapter 3 and you may notice a few subtle differences – they're not big but enough to get the story back to the time line it should. Again, sorry for my mistake. But thank you for sticking with the story. Phew…now that that's done here's the next update for you.

CHAPTER 7
After an hour of letting Deeks work off some steam, Kensi was getting restless in her chair waiting for his return. Trying to concentrate on the file staring up at her from her desk her fidgeting fingers kept twirling her pen, causing it to fly across the desk out of her grasp and land squarely in Callen's lap.
"Kensi, stop already. I'm sure Deeks is fine. If you feel you need to go see him then go because I'm getting this close to handcuffing your hands to the chair!" Callen glared.
A small nod and smirk from Sam told her it was best to leave the bullpen to find her partner, "Okay fine, I'm sorry. It's just I'm not sure what to say to him" Kensi shrugged, "I mean the note basically accused him of being just like his father and that I was in danger of Deeks doing the same thing as what his father did to his mom and that really upset him"
"That's gotta be something that would be in the back of his mind ever since he was growing up. Did he say anything about it Kens?" Callen turned to her.
Kensi nodded, "Yes he said that if he ever thought he would hit me or a child that he would go out to the Pacific Ocean and never come back"
"Deeks would take his own life? Wow Deeks is the last person I would believe would do something like that. He loves life too much" Sam said surprised.
"I tried to reassure him that I trusted him absolutely and that there was no way that I would ever think that I was in danger because of how his dad used to treat him and his mom" Kensi sighed.
"And?" Callen prodded, "did he believe you?"
"Considering what we did last night…I think he feels better about it" she smirked.
"Never tell us something like that again Kensi" Sam grimaced.
Callen sighed dramatically, "Great now I can't get that thought out of my head. Thanks a lot Kensi"
"I think I might go see how my partner's doing" Kensi stood and smiled.
"Your partner is fine, thanks for caring" Deeks called out, as he rounded the pillar into the bullpen, "and what thought can't you get rid of Callen?"
"Kensi just said what happened last night…with the note and then…" he shook his body a dead person just walked over his grave.
"Oh that little thing after we read the note… that was pretty damn good" Deeks winked at Kensi.
"Can we please get back to working on the case before I lose the contents of my stomach?" Sam grumbled.
"I agree. There has to be something we're not seeing. If Lucas Carr was in Folsom State Prison around the same time as Deeks' father then we may have a small link" Callen stated.
"You know that prison is huge right? Hundreds of prisoners there, for my dad to meet one guy in amongst all those others who may or may not have a slight connection to me? Maybe there's a better chance of me winning this week's $10 million dollar lottery" Deeks sighed.
"Oh you are so sharing that with me if you win Deeks" Kensi narrowed her eyes at her partner.
"Fern, I've already won the lottery as far as I'm concerned…I have Kick-Ass Kensi Blye all to myself" Deeks sweetly smiled.
Kensi grinned from ear to ear, "That's so sweet Deeks. But you're still sharing if you win"
"Wouldn't dream of not sharing with you sugar bear" Deeks grinned.
"Guys! Enough you're making me want to go to join Sam in the bathroom" Callen growled.
"I sense you need our help down here" Nell said as she and Eric appeared in the bullpen, "Anything we can do to help?"
Callen looked at them thoughtfully, "Actually I think there is. Did you two find any connection to Lucas Carr or Deeks' father yet?"
Eric shook his head, "Not yet, but we're still looking"
"The funny thing is, the file of Lucas Carr seems to have disappeared. I can't find it anywhere in the police database" Nell added.
"Special access needed Nell?" Sam asked.
"I'm not sure. And I can't seem to make contact with Shep either to ask him. I thought that since Shep was involved in Deeks' case with his father going to jail that he may also know about Lucas Carr somehow" she replied.
"I'll call Lieutenant Bates to see if he has any idea about the files for Lucas Carr" Hetty appeared to join the group, "In the meantime I suggest Mr Deeks…"
"I'll try to call Shep and Nell and Eric can keep looking. Right" Deeks nodded.
"Exactly Mr Deeks and I was also going to say perhaps we can take a look at this in the morning as it is home time"
"Is it that time already Hetty. Wow I was having so much fun here today" Deeks gave a cheeky smile.
"Well if you'd prefer Mr Deeks you can stay here by yourself and…"
"No Hetty that's fine. Ah my partner and I have a thing we need to do" Deeks picked up his bag, "Right Kensi?"
"It's your hole and you dug it yourself partner. Leave me out of it" Kensi smirked, "Good night guys"
"Night Kens" Callen nodded.
"Night" Sam smiled.

The drive home Kensi had to look at Deeks' pouty face all the way, until she rolled her eyes when she couldn't stand it any longer, "Deeks would you stop with the pout"
"I thought you would back me up partner" Deeks sighed dramatically, "I thought I could count on you"
"How old are you again? Because right now it feels like I'm going out with an underage minor!"
"Fine" Deeks huffed.
"Fine" Kensi retorted.
They turned into the driveway of Kensi's house and got out grabbing their gear with them. They walked up the pathway as Kensi searched her pockets for her keys, Deeks stopped with a halt and grabbed her arm.
"What is it?" Kensi turned around annoyed.
"Look down, I think there's another note" Deeks pointed to the door mat.
Okay hopefully I've got things back on track. Let me know if you think otherwise. Reviews would be great. Much love to all – Tanya xxx
