Here comes trouble
Going to the range he rolled a target back to maximum distance and emptied a 17 round clip. 15 in the
10 ring, 1 on the line and 1 a perfect head shot. A smile crossed his face thinking about Kensi's signature
groin shot. He didn't know that, again the team was watching on the monitors. Equal parts concern for their
friend and curious about Deeks real abilities. When he rolled the target back up to where they could
also see the results Sam said "shit, if he can play with a knife at all I'm gonna make that dude an honorary
SEAL. Kensi, your boy has definitely got skills" and he let out a chuckle.
"Trust me Sam he is anything but a boy and he has been working his butt off to be that good so he can
carry his share of the load on the team. He honestly worries a lot about his ability to be an agent and carry his
weight on the team. That was one of the things holding him back from signing those papers." After a pause she
went on "seriously guys I am really worried. I'm afraid of what will happen when we confront his dad. That's
gonna freak the hell out of him. I can't let that happen. Watching him at home this last week with the kids and
the rest of the family has made me realized just how lucky I am. I have never seen him so at ease and so
happy. I will not lose that man. I will slice that mother freakin sob of a dad up before I let him mess with Deeks
head."
Sam and G just smiled. G finally said "Kensi we hear ya and we think Deeks deserves the first shot at
his dad. Same way you got yours at Clermont. You did the right thing and so will he. He was put thru hell as an
11 year old. He needs closure for that to fully move on. If he buckles that's fine. We hold him up but personally,
I would love to watch him turn his dad into hamburger. I've been thru so much of what he has that I get how
important it is for him to deal with this. We have to be ready to help him with whatever he needs then then to
pick up some pieces if needed but I promise you, one way or another Gordon John Brandel does not stand
trial, right Sam?" Getting a nod, smile and a 'well said' they went quiet just as Deeks came back to the bullpen.
"Kens, I just remembered, I have to go by LAPD real quick and deal with some paperwork, you head
on over to your mom's and I'll get there soonest. This is the last of the stuff for LAPD. Moving retirement
accounts, pension plans, all that kind of fun stuff. But 30 years from now when we retire, it's what will pay for
a hut on the beach at Waikiki and all the bikinis you can wear." That got grins, smiles and several comments
about a 60 year old in a bikini that Kensi ignored. She was just too happy at the moment.
"You got it, I think I'll take the pups on a run. They both love it, especially Shaggy. It will also wear em
out so they leave us alone tonight."
"Gotcha princess. I'll text you when I leave H.Q. We can deal with dinner then." Deeks threw his bag
over his shoulder and. Kensi leaned back and let out a big breath.
Just then Hetty said "agents Deeks and Blye and the rest of you put your coms in. If something comes
up we can contact you immediately. Also agent Deeks here are the keys to your new car out front. I took the
liberty of having your truck taken back to your place-and your bike is in it. I couldn't continue to speak with
forked tongue since I know Kensi has a dirt bike (smiles around at that) at home and I am no longer concerned
about why you might be riding it. You two should be allowed to ride on weekends but you will face severe
repercussions if you get hurt. Am I clear?" 'Crystal' and 'yes maam' came 2 agents response. Taking the keys
from her he looked at the key fob and then at Hetty and with a raised eyebrow nodded and let out a huge grin.
The other agents all noticed this and, as one, followed him out to find a tricked out Mustang. After some
drooling and offers to trade, Deeks finally said "gotta go guys" and made a show of getting into the car.
Hetty added "agent Deeks, your car is equipped with lights and sirens. I felt we needed at least one
car so equipped and you are the driver for it. You have had the federal law enforcement driving program
making you the most qualified and you have a cops knowledge of the city." And off he went waving out the
window. They swore they heard him laughing a block away.
Sam then turned to Kensi and offered "Kensi go on home. It's close to time anyway. We can spare you
for the hour. Anything that comes up now gets dealt with tomorrow anyway so go. Spend some time with
your mom and the rest of the family.
"Gimme another half hour Sam. Got one more page on a report." At the end of that ½ hour Kensi
packed up and offered "nite guys" and headed out. Her plan was to stop at the market for the makings of
spaghetti ala Deeks. She was hungry for another of Deeks special dishes. As she finished she heard over the
com unit in her ear "Kens-it's done-all moved to the NCIS old agent's retirement fund. On the way to your
mom's."
"Sounds good, but let's worry about moving tomorrow, tonight I want your spaghetti and maybe a little
desert later." Hearing the sultry tone to her voice she heard "oh boy" on the other end. Giggling she put the
SRX in gear and headed home. With LA traffic and shopping she still had 45 minutes at least.
"Agents heads up." This was Nell who went on "we just got word from LAPD who have been checking
on Deeks mom's house that someone was just there. They were driving the Jeep that was tailing Deeks. It's
gone but Eric is using Kaleidoscope to find it. Everyone be careful and watch your backs."
G cam over the coms "Sam and I will check it out and let you know what's going on. Leaving now."
45 minutes later Sam was pulling up to Deeks mom's house. This was about 10 minutes after Kensi
arrived at her mom's. All of a sudden they heard "It's me Eric, guys we got a big problem. I found the Jeep. It's
on the street Julia lives on parked about 2 blocks from- - -"
At this point Deeks busted in saying "Guys it's a trap. He had no reason to be at moms. It's a trick to get
me there with her. He wants to take Kensi away from me the way I took mom away from him and he wants me
to see him do it. He has been following me so he knows where Julia lives and probably where the mission is.
Hetty make a note to check all our cars and my truck for tracking devices. Kensi be careful he's gotta be going
to Julia's."
There was silence then all of them were saying "Kensi, you there?"
"Shit I'm on the way even with lights and siren gonna take 15 minutes guys get moving."
"On it, ETA 40" said Sam as they were on the other side of the world from Julia's.
Deeks hit the lights and siren on the Mustang and was going 85 on city streets. As he neared Julia's
house he cut the sirens to keep from giving himself away.
Getting close 1 or 2 more chapters plus an epilogue. How we doing people?
