Chapter 10- Connected
Hey Guys. I'm really struggling to write this story. Sorry about the delay but I have had a bad dose of writers block. Hope you've enjoyed and thanks for following
"Phone." Said Gordon as they drove. "Easy" He said as Deeks handed his phone over his eye watched to make sure his son didn't try to alert his team mates. Gordon quickly pulled the battery and SIM out of the phone and threw it out the window as he kept on driving.
"Where are we going?" Asked Deeks.
"Just shut up and keep driving" Said Gordon.
Meanwhile Kensi had arrived back at the Mission, pushed through the heavy double doors and quickly headed up to OPS where she found the rest of the team waiting.
"Ms Blye" Said Hetty as she greeted her.
"We'll get him back Kens. Eric's already running kaleidoscope to track down his car and we're running GPS tracking on his cell phone." Said Callen
"I should have taken the shot." She said.
Sam stepped forward. "It's not your fault Kensi. But Deeks needs your head in the game. I promise we'll get him back."
"Is that before or after Gordon's done with him." She said.
"You can't think like that Kensi alright. Deeks needs you focused. What do you know about his father?"
'A first he told me he was a long story, he didn't seem to want to talk about it and I didn't push it. He told me that he was pretty sure that he's dad hated him. Gordon, uh Brandel, he used to abuse and beat Deeks, one night Deeks snapped he took his fathers gun and shot him Said Kensi.
Hetty stepped forward to address the group.
"Mr Deeks was 11. He and his mother left that night and have not been in contact with Mr Brandel since."
"Wait, he shot his father with his own shotgun?" Exclaimed Callen
Hetty nodded. "Mr Brandel Mr Callen, he does not refer to him as his father." Corrected Hetty.
"So this is what? Payback? A way to have control back over Deeks. It's been what 20 years. It's a bit late to be seeking revenge." Said Callen.
"Gordon Brandel was locked up until recently Mr Callen. It would appear he sought his revenge after his release."
"None of this helps us find were Deeks is!" Said Kensi, frustrated.
"Ah but Miss Blye it does." She said as she smiled.
Meanwhile Deeks had approached what appeared to be an abandoned house.
"Out of the car. Now." He said.
"Where's Ray. The deal was me for him." Said Deeks.
"Walk." He said as he pushed him causing Deeks to stumble, Gordon's gun still pointed at his back.
As Deeks was walking he took in his surroundings, looking for any kind of landmark anything that stuck out, anything to give an indication of where he was.
He entered in the main living area of the house. "Where's Ray?" He asked again as he turned to face his father.
"Move! Down the stairs. Now!" He said as he turned on the light. As Deeks decended the stairs he saw Ray hanging from the ceiling and quickly rushed over to him.
"Ray, Ray! Wake up for me man. Come on. It's time to go. Need you wake up."
"He's not going to wake." Said Gordon as he fired his weapon. Deeks watched as the bullet ripped through his best friends chest.
"No!" Yelled Deeks as he rushed over to Ray, he knew it was useless to try and stop the bleeding while he was upright but it didn't stop Deeks from trying.
After a few minutes and his hands covered in his best friends blood he knew there was nothing he could do.
Deeks was breathless and he turned to look at Gordon, his father. "You son of a bitch" He yelled as he got up and rushed over angrily to Gordon who still had his pistol raised, pointed at Deeks face.
"You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch!" Yelled Deeks as the barrel of the gun pushed against his forehead. "Go on! Go on! Do it!" He yelled. "What are you waiting for!" He yelled.
A sinister smile came across Gordon's face. "First we play." He said as he kneed him groan and pistol whipped him across the face knocking him out before he glanced back at the camera that had been recording everything. He quickly downloaded the data and emailed it through to NCIS.
Meanwhile back in OPS Eric and Nell had been trying to track the car and Deeks cellphone and GPS.
"Any luck? Mr Beale? Miss Jones?" Asked Hetty as she walked back OPS.
"His cellphone's been shut off." Replied Eric.
"Well can't you just re-power it up, you've done that before right?" Said Kensi
"No, Kens batteries been removed."
"Alright we'll give me the last GPS I'll go and maybe Deeks left something. What about the car did you find it?"
"We tracked it for a couple of blocks and then the satellites went down, we lost them." Said Nell.
"Come on!" She said frustrated.
"Miss Blye." Said Hetty as she stepped forward. "I understand you're frustration, however we are doing all we can to find Mr Deeks."
"I know I'm sorry I.." She said as she was interrupted by the Directors on the screen.
"Director?" Said Callen as Hetty turned to face the screen.
"Leon? What's going on?" Asked Hetty
"We received a video transmission her in Washington concerning your missing Detective Deeks.
"Put it up Director." Said Hetty as Leon nodded to one of techs.
The team watched as Brandel shot Ray, as Deeks tried to unsuccessfully keep his friend alive, when he raged at Gordon and had the pistol pressed to his forehead begging to kill him, his friend's blood on his hands as he did. They watched as they saw Deeks crumple to the ground as Gordon whispered "Time to play" and then the video shut off.
"We need to find him now." Said Kensi."
"I've got Miss Scuito doing full audio analysis on the tape Agent Blye. She'll contact Hetty with the results as soon as they are available."
"Thank you Director."
"Wait one Hetty." He said as he was handed a note.
"Hetty there is another video coming in live, it's about Detective Deeks. "Put it up on the screen and tie in OSP." Said the Director.
"Yes Sir." Typed the tech as the video came up on the screen in OPS.
"Deeks." Whispered Kensi as he came into a view, a large bruise coming up on the side of his face.
"Thank you Director" Said Hetty.
"I'll have Miss Scuito get in touch with you once she has completed her forensic analysis." He said as he disappeared from the screen.
"Are you alright Kens?" Asked Callen. Kensi didn't respond she simply stared at the screen.
"Kensi!" Said Sam with more authority causing her to snap at him.
"What?! I'm fine. Just load the video."
"Wait!" Said Callen as he turned to Nell and Eric. "Can you trace that?" He said pointing the screen.
"We'll try" Said Eric.
"Play the feed Mr Beale." Said Hetty.
"NCIS! Glad you could make it!" Smiled Brandel into the camera as he roughly grabbed Deeks face. "Looks, good doesn't he? Some would say an improvement."
"Are you ready for Round 1" He said as his knife flicked open and he turned to Deeks, grabbing his face as the knife tore through his skin for the first time, the second time and the third time, three long cuts now lined his chest almost like attacked by a wild animal.
"Ahhhh" Screamed Deeks as he breathing became erratic, his breathing became faster as he did his best to deal with the pain coming through his chest as his white shirt began turn red where the fresh cuts were.
"Stop!" Yelled Kensi.
"Stop?" Gordon laughed? "Stop? Tell me why I should? He is mine , he is my son! My property! I will do what want to him and there is not a damn thing you can do to stop me." He said as he turned the knife back to Deeks.
"Watch me!" She yelled as she grabbed her jacket and headed out of OPS as she heard Deeks scream echo around her, she stopped momentarily.
"Kens" Said Callen as he and Sam walked out after her. "Let us help you, we're going to find him. Nell and Eric and kaleidoscope are looking for him.
"Come on, we don't need to be here, he wants an audience and I'm not willing to give him that, he doesn't deserve it. Let's go." Said Callen as they all descended the stairs.
