Now everything is clarified after the last chapter, isn't it? And this is the chapter where the finally revelation is made. Remember, you gotta keep your minds open to what is going to happen here! Back to present time, here's a little excerpt from the chapter 4.
"This is about someone I know and I care about. If it were about you, I'd act-"" Deeks phone started ringing and it created and silent atmosphere. He seriously wanted to tell Kensi the rest of his phrase, and she was looking him, asking with the eyes to finish, but he answered. – "Deeks."
"Mr. Deeks, please come now to the Ops Center. I need to talk with you."
"Did Nell and Eric confirm what Alex told me?"
"And they also found which the real identity of our killer is."
"Ok, be right there."
"And please, bring Ms. Blye."
"Come on Kensi, we have to get back. Eric and Nell are pretty fast." – As he was closing the door, Monty ran towards him. – "No Monty, no! Stay in! Bad boy. Stay there." – The dog turned around and cuddled over the couch.
Back at the Ops, Kensi and Deeks are informed of what Nell and Eric got.
"We confirm that it was really a lorry at Rosalinda Santiago's house. We also confirmed that Alex hide the kids."
"How did you get it?" – Deeks said in a hurry, but curious.
"Traffic cameras. And we ran background check on Enrique Casillas. He's suspect of having a human trafficking network between America and South America. The charges are based on child exploitation or using minors on illicit activities, like prostitution."
"Did you get the location of the lorry?"
"No, and we lost it on traffic cams." – Nell informed. – "Also, we checked Casillas' cell mate and crossed with any reference and we got on this," - A photo showed up on the screen, making Deeks tremble inside. – "Gordon John Brandel was his cell mate between 94 and 98. They were both released on the same month, with only a couple of week's difference. Apparently, Brandel got on Casillas' business-"
"But he died in a car accident in 98, it's impossible!" – Deeks claimed, shocked.
"Mr. Deeks, Ms. Blye," - Hetty called. – A word, please."
"How is that possible? Did you know about it?" – Deeks shouted, sitting on the chair.
"Mr. Deeks, calm down please. I'm going to inform you and your partner about this, since Mr. Hanna and Mr. Callen already know the details-"
"Oh, now you're telling my personal life just like that?"
"Mr. Deeks, let me speak, please. I asked for the file about your father's death and it seems to be a few inconsistencies. By the time, LAPD only wanted to close the case and as the car set on fire after the accident, they assumed the driver was the owner of the car."
"He didn't die?"
"No." – She said, pausing. – "I asked for dental record and it turned out to be Enrique Casillas. I've made my research and after Casillas' death, your father took over his business, and also took over his identity."
"So it means he has been here, in LA, alive for thirteen years and I'm not aware of it?"
"But, Mr. Deeks, you're forgetting something…Alex said she saw her father, but she saw-"
"My father…our father. How? He was in jail in the time she born, in 94."
"There is a report about a prisoner escaping from March of 94. Brandel was only found a week later."
"Alex is my sister…" – Deeks got up and walked, taking the hands to the head, totally confused by the amount of new information.
"You're ok, Deeks?" – Kensi asked, embracing her arm around his shoulder.
"Yes…I mean, no. This is too much."
"Mr. Deeks," - Hetty turned as the partners were walking out the building. – "I didn't know anything about it."
Deeks kept walking and just passed by as Callen was saying:
"All set Deeks? Can we use the plan?"
"Yeah guys, all set." – Kensi retreated a few steps and answered. – "Deeks!" – She screamed to see if he stopped or slowed down his walking. In fact, he didn't do any of those and walked quickly to the car, and when he was about to close the door, she held it and said:
"I'm going with you."
"No, you're not!" – He tried used some force to close the door but she didn't let it go. – "Kensi, take the hands off."
"What's the difference in going now with you or going with the guys?"
"Going with the guys is way better. I only have two eyes: one to protect myself and the other to protect Alex. If I had a third eye, I'd consider taking you."
"There you go: you can put the two eyes on Alex and I'll look for you and her."
"No, that's exactly for that I don't want you to go."
"You know I'm asking Hetty and the guys where the meeting is."
"Yes, I do. But, at least, you're not coming with me!" – Deeks pulled the door and finally closed it, starting the engine and leaving.
Kensi exhaled deeply, he was indeed a stubborn guy.
"Coming Kens?" – Sam spoke behind her.
"Of course. But he's two minutes ahead us."
"Don't worry, we'll get him, right G?" – Sam chuckled, looking at Callen sat at the driver's seat.
…
Deeks parked in front of Alex's house and waited. He doesn't see any car near, so he grabs the phone:
"Guys, can you hear me?" – Deeks spoke fearfully.
"Yes Deeks, loud and clear." – Callen answered. "We're right behind you."
Deeks felt an inside relief for seeing the car parking behind his.
"We'll carry the plan to the letter, are you hearing me Deeks? Don't be a wiseass and ruin it up, alright?"
"Got it. Can you put Kensi on the phone?" – He waited until hear only her breathe, timid of saying or asking anything. – "Can you still look for me?"
"I think I can."
"Thanks…for trusting and not judging…Ok, I'm going in."
And again Kensi was with the guards down, no matter how rudely and incomprehensively he treated her over that case, he always ended up apologizing.
"I can." – She emphasized, handing the phone to Callen. – "He's going in."
Deeks walked in direction to the house and looked back, getting an approving sign from the team. He opened the door and faced a pool of blood coming from behind the couch.
"Shorty? Alex?"
"Close the door." – He heard that man's voice and it sent a chill down his spine. Deeks pulled the gun but gave up on it after hearing the man pulling back the trigger of the gun. – "Close the door." – He repeated. Deeks couldn't see him, but thought it would be better do what he was being told, so he closed the door and walked.
"Alex!" – He ran to her after realizing it was her lying on the floor and the knife was covered in blood still kebab on her. He grabbed her in arms pulling her closer to his chest, supporting her over his legs and tried to stop the bleeding wound with his hand. She had been stabbed in the abdomen on the left side over the quadratus lumborum muscle. – "Hold on, okay?"
"He…he's upstairs…I didn't…knew." – She said between gasps. – "I…I, I'm sorry… Dee."
"It doesn't matter. Here,-" - He gave her the phone in hands, trembling even more than her. – "I have nothing else than the phone, so call Kensi, she'll help you."
"And…and say what?"
"Tell her to call 911." – He kissed her on the head and laid her again on the floor, carefully. – "You'll be alright, I promise. Just hang on."
"Marty…? Why, why…he wants to…kill you?"
"Later sis, later."
He went upstairs, cautiously, holding the gun in hand, but it didn't helped that much. Gordon started fighting with him and Deeks' gun slipped through the floor. After a lot of struggle and without conscious, both were trying to push the other down the stairs. Gordon did it. He pushed Deeks down the stairs and he only raised his head up, dizzy and without weapon. Deeks noticed the bloodstains on the floor leading to the kitchen, and probably to the outside; he had nothing to worry about Alex. Kensi screamed his name unconsciously and the agents left the car and ran to the house. A gunshot had been heard from the inside. Only one of the people inside the house had a gun in possession on that precise moment.
"Eric call an ambulance! Now!" – Sam screamed running to the house.
Oh God, what happened inside the house? Is Deeks dead? Is Kensi? Where's Alex? And apparently she and Deeks are brothers?
What a mess! Tell me what you think, 'cause if you haven't leave any review yet, I warn you there only more three chapters!
