DON'T OWN IT.

"See, the brown mark was there in the video, but not here now." Kensi explained for the 4th time.

"I'm still not seeing the significance." Deeks said.

"It's really not this difficult to understand. Somebody washed away that mark." Kensi said.

"I get it now. So that mark would tell us who killed who?" Callen said.

"Exactly. The only person who was in any condition to wash it off was Talbot." Kensi said.

"So you think he killed them?"

"It's- I don't know. It's possible, but with PTSD like that, it's unlikely."

"So now we have to look at him like a murderer." Callen stated.

"I guess we do. But he probably thought that he was back in Afghanistan." Kensi explained.

"Are you saying the PTSD caused him to kill them?" Callen asked, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Yes." Kensi answered.

"Kens, can I talk to you outside?" Callen asked.

"If you're going to lecture me about not letting Jack interfere with the case, I already know. And he's not."

"It just seems like you're defending Talbot an awful lot."

"I have to! All of you are trying to say he murdered them. You will get the right person when you try to prove them innocent and can't." Kensi snapped.

"Ok, as long as you know he might be convicted." Callen put his hands up in surrender.

"I'm not a probie." Kensi said, walking out of the house.

"That was brilliant, G." Sam said.

"I didn't think she'd get mad." Callen said, looking really confused.

"This case is bringing up a lot of bad memories for her. If we just leave her alone, she'll be fine. As soon as someone starts poking, she gets defensive. Just let her be." Deeks said.

"So I'm guessing no one's going to go make sure she's not doing something stupid." Callen said.

"Exactly." Deeks answered.

SO I'M HAVING A MAJOR CASE OF WRITER'S BLOCK RIGHT NOW. ANY HELP IT GREATLY APPRECIATED. I APOLOGIZED FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER.
