Deeks walks to his class where training was taking place and see there are bunch of others around and he sets his backpack down and studies others as two come over, "Look Jake its the idopt that seems to like showing us all up at the range," one said.

The other shakes his head, "Bet he can't even fight."

Deeks reaches in his bag and pulls out his painkillers and takes two and stares at them, "Something you two idiots want?"

They shake their heads glaring at him, "What you think just becuase yuo can shoot good means you belong with us? We both come from high ranking officers in the military and you are going to be lucky to get out of today class without going on a stretcher."

He starts to laugh but coughs, "I can run circles around you both."

A women comes over, "Boys play nice or this mutt actually has a worse bite then you."

The men glare at her and walk away, "Jen Renko."

He smirks, "Marty Deeks guess related to Mike Renko?"

She nods, "One of the craziest people to ever step foot here is my cousin."

He shakes her hand, "Nice to meet you and Mike can have him crazy moments."

"Yes but he's the reason I came here. A good man and he raised me and my brother for years. Adrian is over there," she points to a guy bouncing a tennis ball against the building. 3 years younger then me and swear is just like his uncle in so many ways."

Adrian walks over, "Fighting with Tom and Jon will get more pain in the end."

"Adrian this is Marty," she said to her little brother.

He shakes his head, "Oh yuor the one showing off at the range yesterday?"

Deeks shakes his head, "You are so much like your uncle but if had his hair color could be his twin."

He rolls his eyes "You know him? But how?"

"I worked with him a few times on a few cases. I am on another team in Los Angelas and we run into each other once in a while."

They walk inside and stand around, "Today you will be sparring with each other. Deeks don't care if are suppose to sit this out yuor fighting Connors fighting is automatic kick out of FLETC."

Deeks puts on the gloves and see one of the guys from before and after 10 minutes they each have a few blows and the other man hits him in the ribs hard and knocks the wind out of him and falls down gasping for air and someone lays him on his side, "You okay?" The instructor asked.

Deeks looks at his opponant, "Blow to the ribs is real low you know that?"

The guy snickers, "If you can't fight then don't need to be here."

The instructor looks down at him, "He has a point. NCIS needs field agents that are able to handle themselves with gun and their fists."

Deeks sits up coughing up blood and glares at them, "I am well aware what the hell NCIS needs and you forcing me to fight after request by a doctor not to is real low."

"You really have no right to talk to me about what can and can't do."

Deeks stands up with Adrian help, "I had 2 doctors telling you not to have me fight and threating to throw me out is low even for agent."

"What the hell you know about being an agent? Your only a trainee and been one for 3 years..."

Deeks glares at the man as Ziva walks in, "Deeks yuo okay?"

He starts coughing and she catches him before hit the floor and Jen hands her a water bottle, "He forced him to fight or would throw him out."

Ziva glares at the man and pulls her phone out and hits 3 and Ducky answers, "Ducky your on way to FLETC right?"

He can hear her voice sound far, "Yes Ziva what is wrong? Be there in 5 with Jethro for a speech..."

"The instructor gave Deeks an ultimatium either take part today or he was out of FLETC and is out right now."

Gibbs punches the gas and comes to stop, "Be there in a minute Ziva."

She hangs up and hear the door slam and see Gibbs rushing over, "Gibbs he was coughing up blood a minute ago."

Ducky comes over and examines him, "I am afraid he may have reopened his wound on that lung Jethro."


A few hours later, Gibbs looks up from the waiting room as a doctor walks over, "Family of Agent Deeks?"

He stands up, "How is he doing?"

"As Dr. Mallard suspected his healing lung took some of the force and knocked the air from his lungs and we are monitoring his breathing. Room 2114 and you can see him."

Deeks looks up as the door opens and see Gibbs, "Gibbs?"

"Yeah just me...what in the hell were you thinking?"

He lays his head back closing his eyes, "Not really thinking about what would happen but didn't give much choice."

He pats him on the shoulder, "You will pass the training with flying colors and no fighting for a while."

He nods, "Thanks Gibbs."

"Be glad Hetty stopped your partner from flying here and kicking those guys ass."

He stops himself from laughing, "She would to."

"Get some sleep and getting out tomorrow."
