This chapter is passed on chapter three; I'm going to explain what happens where the suspension points are, because they indicate there was a time break. The story line will advance on this chapter from the sentence:

-"Guys, we found the connection. – Nell announced after hours had passed, descending a few steps. The four agents ran upstairs."

"Where's Deeks?" – Callen asked to Kensi who looked bored sitting at her desk, with the chin supported on her hand.

"I don't know." – She mumbled. – "Went out."

"Want to go for lunch? G's paying!" – Sam stated on a laugh.

"No, thanks guys. I think I'll just stay around here."

"Ok. Want us to bring you anything to eat then?" – G inquired, dressing the jacket.

"Can you bring me something sweet with a lot of sugar?"

"Deeks talked nonstop?"

"Quite the contrary… The only times he speaks, he's grumpy and he yells."

"Did he mistreat you?" – Sam got close after hearing what Kensi said.

"No, guys, don't do anything stupid…He's just…You know what, forget I told you this. I should be glad he's mouth shut for a while! Guys, go have lunch. I'm going to lie down my head a little while and I'll help Eric and Nell."- Both Sam and Callen stood looking at Kensi, until she said, smiling. - " Seriously, you can go!"

"Alright, but if he crosses the mark-"

"Callen, Sam, go!" – Kensi ordered, pointing her index to the exit, against their big brother concerning attitude.

"Just saying!" – Sam said, walking backwards while leaving.

"Go!"

"Just saying!" – Now Callen shouted far away.

"Go!" – She yelled giggling.

Having the arms over the table, Kensi lets her head fall over them and then sighed:

"Why do you make me get so much worried and nervous?"

"You are his partner, Ms. Blye. You should care about each other, am I wrong?"

"No, you're right Hetty. I just don't know where he is, he may need my help right now. God, I hate him!"

"Oh, I see it isn't just about him leaving in a hurry! But I can assure you, he doesn't need your help right now. You'll see he'll with a smile across his face."

"How do you know?"

"I just do, Ms. Blye."

"What do you know that I don't?"

"Nothing else, dear! All I know is what the team is telling me…I just hope that in the future, this doesn't get any worse."

"You do know something! What is it?"

"I know something, yes I admit! But, that issue may not be needed to touch, so I don't want to prognosticate and talk about it. I'll let him tell it to you." – And Hetty left as quiet as she entered, with the arms crossed behind her back.

"Great!" – Kensi whispered, letting the head fall again over her arms.

Deeks entered the convenience store, the Sundune and greeted happy and wistfully:

"Frank!" – The man came out from behind the counter and hugged Deeks.

"How are you Marty?"

"I'm great. Are you going to feed a squad?" – He turned to the teenager.

Alex hided her face, like she was afraid of being seen. She put down all the canned food and the bottles of water.

"What's wrong, shorty? Alex?" – He said, trying to approach her.

"Frank, can we talk somewhere more…out of sights?"

"Hum, sure." – He stammered. – "The division where I keep the products."

"Where?" – Deeks asked.

"Down the hall."

"If someone asks for us-"

"I never saw you two!"

"Can you tell me what's going on Alex?"

"He's probably following Dee." – Alex said in low voice.

"Who?"

"My father." – She whispered.

"Your father? You told me he left you and your mother-"

"No, apparently he isn't dead! He took someone else's identity. His cell mate, thirteen years ago."

"When did you saw him?"

"Two days ago…I was…I was coming home and there was a lorry outside my house."

"A lorry?" – Deeks asked in doubt.

"Yes Marty, a lorry. I heard a noise from the inside-"

"What noise?"

"!Ayuda!"

"Help…" Deeks said. – "Who was inside?"

"Children and tweens…About fifteen, twenty…I opened the door, told them to be quiet and hide them on the cellar…I heard things being thrown, things breaking, my mother screaming: "Get out here Gordon!" and he said: "My name isn't Gordon! I'm Enrique Casillas." I grabbed my gun-"

"Which gun?"

"My 9mm Glock 17, why?"

"Nothing, it's just…"

"Marty, he took my gun! I didn't kill anyone!"

"Of course you didn't. What happened next?"

"I entered home." – She said on a sigh. – "I shot him on the leg, we fought, he took from me the gun and, and,-" - Alex's voice started to fail and her speech was just a simple whisper. " shot her…right in front of me…He ran away and now he's back to get me. He noticed the lorry was empty."

"He needs you."

"I know he went there again, but I had already took them away from there…He's killing everyone who I know to see if I fall down and tell him…And I want, I just can't find him…Then he said he saw us together, he even smiled when he said hates you."

"Hates me? I don't know any Enrique Casillas, not even as an alias…" - Deeks stopped, thinking for a while and then asked again. – "But why he went to your mother?"

"Money, money, money. It was all I've heard in the meantime I was outside. He was in need of money and he needed to, like he said, leave the kids somewhere."

"Have you been on Werder's or Courtney's?"

"Only, after they were dead, and believe me, I ran as fast as I could out there. You need to help me on this Dee, I mean your team needs to help me..."

"Why not me? I'm not enough to protect you?" – Deeks said offended.

"I have precisely twenty three kids to hide and feed, three murders over me…I don't want to have a fourth one over me, not yours…not yours Marty…I've lost my mother and two of my mentors, I cannot lose you too…We need to pretend we're meeting and then your team arrests him."

"I'm not putting you in danger."

"And neither will I put you! So, what we going to do about it? Let him get away? No way! I don't care if I die in there, but he won't hurt anyone else! And if he wants to kill you, it will have to be over my dead body!"

"Alex, it's not that easy."

"It isn't? He just needs to press the damn trigger. It can't get any easier. I was there at the first time and I couldn't stop him, the two next times, I wasn't there. This time I am here, and I'll stop him, takes what it takes!" – Alex got up and left, leaving Deeks staring at her.

"Alright." – He said before she left through the door. – "But you got to do whatever me and my teams order."

"I'll be at my house. You know our place at the beach?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"The empty warehouse across the street, they are there." – And without leaving him speaking anything more, she left.

So you now know a bit more of this mystery, but next chapter will be the one where the bombastic news is told. You think you're ready for it? Leave me a review, tell me what are you liking or hating, what is good or what is bad.
