Now we get to the first day back
After a long day, with a couple hour break to play with kids and dogs, he had finished the files. He only had 4
names for Eric. When he opened the file from Kensi he just stared. It was that of his father. As he started
reading he got the same itch Kensi must have had-well hers was a hunch, his was a little more solid than that.
Stopping in mid report, he texted the 4 names to Eric and copied the 3 agents. He also added this request.
Eric, also run the unknown DNA against mine see if it's a 50% sibling match. No rush, work the 4 names first s/D.
The answer was immediate-will do-the DNA will take 24 hours for that kind of a match. Shortly after
He got a phone call. He saw it was from Hetty. "Hetty, what's up?"
"That's what we are wondering agent Deeks, you're on speaker with the rest of your team" came the
response from Hetty. "Now agent Deeks, your team has some questions."ettyHettyHhhhhhhhhhh
"Hey guys, what do you need to know?" (from Marty)
"You tell us, what's with the DNA test?" (from Sam)
"Princess you want to handle that one-you had the first hunch" (Marty)
Kensi began immediately "I just got a feeling that maybe we needed to be sure Gordon John Brandel
really died in that wreck. No harm no foul if the file provided nothing useful. But I'm not the one who thought to
run the DNA match- -that was all Marty."
Sam then asked "just your gut Marty or something else?"
"It struck me, when I read that file that it didn't fit. Brandel hated bikes, or at least he did when I was
around. So he wouldn't have been on one, but it is a real good way to maim a body past recognition. Without
DNA and being an ex-con no one would dig any deeper than the id. That could have been a driver's license,
Any kind of id and that would be easy to plant. I just don't know for sure how to proceed. We have to wait for
the DNA to come back. If it is the 50% match, then we can exhume the body and hope to be able to pull DNA.
We know it isn't mom's as that was checked when she was murdered so we are in a holding pattern, hence
the other 4 names just in case. Obviously if the DNA is a familial match then the same person was in Hawaii
so we know we got the person responsible. Now, I'm gonna go over this file some more but also gotta do some
shopping. We got a family cookout Sunday and Mike and I are co-chief chefs and bottle washers. By the way
Kens what's your request-lobster, shrimp or steak. Everyone else has placed theirs so just need yours."
G offered "damn, can Jo and I come? That got a laugh.
Kensi chuckled and Deeks responded "got it Princess, 1 cow medium rare."
"I'll make you all a promise-when this is over we'll get everyone from both my families together. How
bout it Kenserina, that work for you?"
Sam and G saw the grin on her face (and maybe a touch of relief and pride) as she said "you bet.
We'll have to check with mom and Mike to be sure and decide how we want to handle intros. Kam would
love the pool and the little ones so let's get the case solved."
After they hung up Sam said "Kensi would Mike be Retired Commander Mike Feldman of the Navy? "
Kensi answered "yea, I believe that was his rank, why?"
"Just wondering. I've heard the name someplace" replied Sam and walk off.
Sunday had gone well. Fun, food, water fights, throwing people in the pool, pool volleyball and ending
with chicken fighting (woman on man's shoulder-winner is when one team pulls the woman from the other
into the water) which Kensi and Deeks won. They had taken great care to cover his wound. Fortunately it was
high on the shoulder and he really didn't care. He was too busy being happy.
That night, lying next to each other with Kensi curled up inside his arms she asked "you ready to come
back to work tomorrow?"
"Honestly no. I am having a great time. Nate's idea was dead on. This has helped greatly and seems
like it's been good for you also. This is gonna make us better together princess. But I want the SOB that shot
me so it is what it is."
Smiling Kensi replied "Ya, you're right. I did enjoy it. I got to spend all day with them and now feel like
we are family. Didn't even bother me when they started calling me sis. Now you want to keep the party going
here sex machine?" And she rolled on top of him, starting to kiss his jaw line and work her way south. "Just
remember-no moaning or howling." That caused them to make eye contact and laugh out loud.
3 hours later Deeks laid back saying "wow, that was some celebration love of my life."
"Aw, you done already? I was thinking round 3 myself" she got out thru her giggles.
"I'm wounded princess. I'm still building my strength back up" but he still rolled her over and started
to plant kisses down her neck and shoulder heading for her breasts as his hands slipped behind her. 2 hours
later found them sharing a shower and Marty saying "now we'll both be tired tomorrow but it was most certainly
worth it." Then he wrapped her up and just stood there in the hot water being happy. He felt more relaxed than
he had in years and made a mental note to send a text to Nate thanking him and letting him know how things
worked out.
MONDAY MORNING AT THE MISSION
Walking into the bullpen sounded the same as always. Sam was telling G he knew nothing about
marriage and G saying it was his duty to insure Sam had the proper perspective on things.
"I almost split a gut when Ted and Em ganged up and threw you in the pool came from down the hall."
It was a familiar voice but one they hadn't heard very much at all lately.
"Yea, well you were too busy laughing to help. Thought you had my back."
"Trust me I was watching your back- - - - -side." pause "Ooww-what did I say?"
As they rounded the corner they almost ran into Sam and G who were standing there, waiting for them.
"Welcome back to work agent Deeks" said Sam as he brought him in for a bro hug. This was followed by
G doing the same.
"It's great to be back. But gotta admit, I could get used to hanging out at Julia's" responded a beaming
Marty. "But now it's time to go to work and find that son of a bitch that wants a piece of me and Kensi so let's
get to work."
The senior agents looked at each other, then at the 2 agents in front of them and smiled. G finally
offered "that's what I want to do also. Time to send a message about messing with this team even if it has to
go up the ranks at LAPD to the person there who abetted that whole mess." Sam just put a big paw on Deeks
shoulder, smiled and nodded. They still had a special connection and Sam wasn't gonna forget it. Adding
in a quiet voice almost illegible to any but Deeks "paybacks a bitch and it starts soon."
Ok we have the band back together and an obviously pissed off Sam. We still doin good here? Anything
you'd like to see before this ends, let me know or just fill the box below for kicks.
