Deeks was unable to sleep and spent all night haunted by his own thoughts. Being left in the dark was one of the worst feelings he had experienced.

Somewhere around 6 am, the gorillas changed shifts. This one was not very talkative either and the only info he was able to distract from him was that the hit would take place in an hour. At that time, most cops would be at the department being assigned duties, so they were aiming for maximum victims.

Ac couple of minutes later he went to use the, not so hygienic, bathroom. He hadn't used it for over twelve hours and he was about to burst. Of course, the gorilla camped outside the door to guard him. It was a filthy little bathroom that barely had enough room for one person to move around. The only light that made its way in was through the half-broken window above the toilet.

Before he could unzip his pants, he heard voices from outside. He stepped on the toilet, hoping he wouldn't have an unfortunate accident and tried to take a look outside. Deeks was on the second floor of the building and could clearly see the parking lot of the warehouse.

The leader was waiting just outside his car for his little minion.

"Did he behave?" he asked him.

The gorilla nodded, "Yes, he was obviously nervous but avoided asking too many questions, just like the others."

"Good," the leader said as he lit a cigar, "Give him the fake bomb tell him to plant it in the cafeteria. You leave the right one at the lobby. When you see him approaching, trigger it. If the explosion doesn't kill him we will later."

He exhaled a large amount of smoke and continued, "Once this is over we three are moving to another city, Chicago perhaps."

"Don't misunderstand me boss, I love chaos but when will this be over for you? What do you get out of all this?"

The leader dropped his cigar and stepped on it. "When the government admits that they are all corrupted. Police, military, all of them. I don't expect you to understand me, so just do your job, unless you want to end up like them."

The gorilla looked down and walked away like a scared dog. That was when Deeks realized it. There was no other Boss behind this, it was all a myth the leader WAS the boss and he was hiding right in plain sight. Before he could gather his thoughts all together the other gorilla started knocking on his door.

"How long does it take you to pee? If you don't come out in ten seconds, I am busting the door. Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five..."

Just the Deeks came out, "you might wanna use some air freshener in there, I think I had some bad Chinese for dinner," he said holding his nose.

"Are you sure you can do this Blondie or do you want your morning shot of whiskey?"

Deeks nodded, "I would kill for any kind of shot right now, but I think I am going to settle with the bomb. There is no better way to start your day other than delayed revenge. I want to watch them all suffer, like I suffered after they kicked me out. I wanna play baseball using their amputated arms as bats and their heads as balls. I wanna feed their hearts to the dogs. I wanna see them all die."

Deeks put on extreme efforts not to laugh at the sound of his own words. This level of acting should be at least nominated for an Oscar award.

When the other gorilla came back in, they gave Deeks the fake bomb and told him exactly what he had heard, to place it in the cafeteria without drawing any attention.

Now that he knew, there was no Boss he had enough evidence to arrest all three of them. However, he was unarmed and without any backup at the time so he had to go along with the plan. Everyone at the station was warned and Callen with Sam would definitely be there watching him. All he had to do was signal them there was no boss and successfully put this mission to an end.

G and Sam left the hospital to get prepared. Kensi was still kept in a coma so spending the night next to her was pointless. They headed to the police station and staged the scene to make it look like an ordinary morning at the police department. Everyone knew Deeks was working under cover and they were ordered to watch carefully, his every move and signals.

Eric and Nell spent all night running the faces in every global database but came empty handed. Then Nell came with an idea. What if they had, had plastic surgery? That would explain why they couldn't find any info on them. Nobody can hide from the big brother unless he had reinvented himself.

This was good and bad news at the same time because they would never find who they really were unless they arrested them.

Sam posed as a guard at the lobby of the station while G headed to the cafeteria and posed as a barista. They had an earpiece set ready to give to Deeks at the first opportunity they had. All they had to do was accidentally bump into him.

Deeks held the briefcase with the fake bomb and walked towards the building. The leader was watching him from his car; he was parked just around the corner. One of the gorillas was reading a newspaper holding the real bomb and the other had walked into the station before him.

As Deeks walked into the building he felt relieved to see Sam was there. This meant the beginning of the end had just begun.

He moves towards the cafeteria and spotted one of the gorillas sitting across the room holding a briefcase too. He walked to the bar and tried to act naturally by ordering a coffee. Callen served him the coffee, offered him a free large fortune cookie and pointed with his eyes the gorilla. Deeks just nodded, took the coffee and the cookie and sat on a table. His back was on the gorilla but fortunately, he was facing Callen. He looked around hoping he would spot Kensi among the crowd and was deeply disappointed there was no sign of her. He let out a deep breath and tried to keep his dark thoughts put his head. Hetty must have ordered her to stay home because of the head injury, nothing more.

He opened his fortune cookie to happily, find a mike and an ear set in it. He discreetly put them on and coughed to signal them he was ready.

"Deeks, if you can hear us take a sip," G told him.

Deeks took a small sip of his coffee and winked at G.

"Do you know where the Boss is?" H asked him.

Deeks took one more sip.

"Is he here?"

He took sip again.

"We know his accomplices are here along with the leader, so where is the boss?"

Deeks raised his up to take another sip and cover his mouth in case he was being watched and said, "The leader IS the boss."

G opened his eyes wide open and looked at him, "are you sure?"

"Positive," he replied firmly.

"The bomb they gave me is a fake one. Both gorillas are holding a briefcase and I don't know which one has the real one. Maybe it's both."

"Ok, don't panic. The bomb squad are already here, all floors have been evacuated, and the best of our agents and police officers are here right now. We will make this work!"

Deeks gave him a confident smile and nodded "Let the games begin."
