Chapter 1

As Callen and Sam walk into the bullpen Monday morning, the first thing Sam sees is Deeks sitting at Doms desk. "That desk is taken, Deeks. It belongs to an Agent, not a cop. You can't sit there."

"Excuse me. Mr. Hanna, I asked Detective Deeks to sit there. I did so politely. Detective Deeks has been appointed our L.A.P.D. Liaison, filling a chair that, though taken, has been vacant for some time." Hetty explains.

"Welcome to the team, Deeks." Callen mutters

"Thanks." Deeks replies.

"So you're sort of a temp." Sam says.

Deeks replies with, "Temp? Yeah, I like that. See, with cops, having a negative nickname's a good thing. Although I'm not too sure about your use of that word since I signed a contract yesterday after Hetty asked me to join this team. Probably the same way she askedyou. Right Agent Hanna?"

Sam thinks Hetty must be losing her mind to ever ask a cop to do an agents job. He's nowhere as good as the rest of us. He's just going to be a hindrance.

All of a sudden a shrill whistle echoes across the bullpen and all conversation stops. "Okay. Agents, come on up to ops, we have a case." Eric calls them up to ops.

Sam puts a hand up and stopped him. "Whoa there, Deeks; Eric said agents. You're just the liaison. A Temp. Just a cop." He smirked.

As Deeks enters ops, he hears Kensi talking to Eric. "Deeks? Really? He's just a cop. I need a good partner. I don't want to baby-sit a rookie."

"Yep, Deeks. Hetty brought him on board yesterday." Eric says.

"Really. L.A.P.D. Liaison." Kensi asks quietly, "That's the best they could do? " And saying that, Deeks walks into ops. "Oh, hello, Deeks."

"Hey, Agent Blye. Good to see you again. Oh, and, uh It's the best they can do." Deeks mutters and asking himself again why he took this job. It seems like no one wants him here either.

"Sorry." Kensi utters.

"Don't worry Agent Blye. I'll try really hard to not soil my diaper for you." Deeks says. Again, reluctantly wondering to himself why he ever took this job.

At the end of the week as Kensi is finishing her after action report she thinks of how the week went with Deeks as her partner. During the course of their case he figured out a few riddles, took down a major robbery ring, helped to save Kensi and saved Callen's life. Not bad for a scruffy lookin' detective. She wonders to herself if maybe he would be a decent partner. He looks damn hot also, with that sweet butt. Hmmm.

"Kensi!" Callen says.

"Yeah?"

"You want to go for drinks with Sam and I? Celebrate the case closing. A little team bonding?" Callen asks.

"Yeah, sure. Let me sign this, turn it in to Hetty, and I'll be ready to go." Kensi replies.

"You want to ask Deeks when he gets back from the shower?" Callen mentions.

"Well," she replies, "He's just barely my partner so why bond? He won't be here too much longer."

Unbeknownst to the team, Deeks had come up from the showers a few minutes ago and heard everything. He holds himself still, listening to see what happens next.

"He's only a place-holder. He's only here until Hetty can find a true agent to replace him with." Sam says. "Until then, he's just a temp that we need to watch out for during missions."

"Maybe so, but . . ." Callen utters, "Ahh, Let's get a drink." And they all gather their gear and head out.

Deeks just shakes his head and heads over to his desk to finish his paper work. 30 minutes later finds him leaving the mission to go home and walk Monty and maybe get a beer. Again he thinks of the situation he's gotten himself into and shakes his head not knowing how he can straighten it out.

Hetty hears her elite team's discussion, shakes her head, and sighs heavily. They don't realize the jewel that I've recruited and put on their team. I'll wait for a few more days to see how things turn out and then I'm going to have to step in and settle things. Sam is getting too 'uppity' and Kensi is starting to follow his lead. And Callen? I gave him Deeks's file, but apparently he never read it. With a sigh, she decides to finish her scotch and head for home herself.

Monday morning arrives faster than Deeks could have imagined. He had spent almost the entire weekend on the beach with his dog, Monty, and his surfboard. He also had received several invitations from beach bunnies looking for a good time. He had declined them all in favor of relaxation. And here he sits doing piles of paperwork and hoping for a case. Mostly to just shut Sam's mouth up. The agent has been riding him since he got to work and Deeks was starting to get tired of it, thinking to himself for the thousandth time if he hadn't made a huge mistake by signing that damn paper of Hetty's.

Hetty sits at her desk with a cup of tea listening to Sam and Kensi ride and belittle Deeks and decides she's heard enough. It's time they knew just who and what Detective Deeks really was. She stands up and starts heading for the bull pen and as she reaches the hall, she sees the team from San Diego coming through the door. She didn't expect to see them until later this afternoon. She waits for them to get closer and then says, "Good morning Ms. Jackson. A little early aren't you?"

The senior agent of the San Diego team, Mindy Jackson, replies with, "No, they shut the place down earlier than expected after looking closer at the foundation. That last quake damaged the building worse than expected. It looks like we're going to be here for a bit longer than we thought. I hope that's alright?"

"Of course it is my dear. Come with me and I'll introduce you to the members of the LA team." Hetty says and leads her to the bull pen. "This is Agent Hanna. He's a former seal. Across the aisle from him is Agent Blye. Sitting next to her is the team leader Agent Callen."

"Oh, Callen and I have met before. He was in the CIA though at the time." Mindy states.

"I remember that time. Down in Houston. Fun times." Callen says.

And right then Deeks walks back to the bull pen from getting a coffee and Hetty spies him and before she can say anything, Mindy yelps, "SHAGGY! IS THAT YOU?" Deeks' head snaps up and he sits his coffee down and walks fast to Mindy and gives her a huge hug.

"Mindy, what are you doing here? I thought you were in San Diego?"

"We are, but the office has been shut down due to quake damage. We'll be working out of here until the building is pretty much rebuilt. But the real question is what you're doing here?"

All the while Mindy and Deeks are talking the LA team's heads are swiveling between the two trying to figure out what's going on. They seem to know each other rather well.

"Well, long story short, Hetty signed me on to be the LAPD Liaison. I've been here for only a week. I'm just barely Agent Blye's partner. Agent Hanna tells me that I'm just a temp until a real agent gets here. So, I guess I'm sort of a place holder for awhile."

As they're talking the rest of Mindy's team surrounds Deeks talking a mile a minute.

Hetty breaks in with, "Ms. Jackson, maybe you should introduce your team to the others."

"Of course Hetty. It was just a surprise seeing Marty again. Agents, the man alongside of me is junior field agent Gene Hallstrom. The big guy trying to get to Marty is senior agent Mike Barrows, a retired Delta team member."

"Mindy, where's Jesse at?" Deeks asks.

"Well, he's a father of twin girls now so he decided to be our forensics expert and ride a desk. Now I have an opening that I'm looking to fill and I do believe I've found the person I'm looking for." Saying that she looks right at Deeks.

Sam interjects with, "Deeks? I don't think you would be very happy with him. He's just a cop. He'd weigh your team down. What can you possibly want him for?"

Mike, hearing that, turns on Sam. "I'd be proud to have him on the team with me. The man is a lot more than a hindrance, he's . . ."

"Settle down Mike. They perhaps don't know him as well as we do." Mindy says.

"You know him that well Mindy?" Callen asks.

"Yep. We've worked a few ops together over the years. What's it been Shaggy? 7, 8 ops?"

"I'm fairly certain it was 8 and then there were those 3 where we needed to help the FBI out. Remember?"

"Yeah, Shaggy, I remember." As she strokes the side of Deeks face. "I've missed those times."

Hetty breaks in with, "You've worked with Detective Deeks before?"

"Oh yeah. He's pulled our asses out of the fire a few times while he was undercover. I've been trying to get him on my team for a number of years. The man should be an agent but he's too damn stubborn for his own good." Mindy gushes. "But now, I see an opportunity and I need to ask you. Can I have him for my team? We need a 4th. and we've worked together before. He's the perfect fit for my team."

"Well, let's head over to my office and discuss it a bit. But first, Mr. Deeks, would you like to work with Ms. Jackson's team?"

"Really? You're giving me a choice? Hell yes! I'd like nothing better!"

"Well then Mr. Deeks, as of now, you're working with Ms Jackson's team." Hetty replies.

Sam is beside himself. "He's just a cop! What possible good could he be to you as an agent?"

"You don't know?" Hetty replies. "Mr. Callen, tell your team about Mr. Deeks."

"Me? I don't know the man. How can I tell them anything?" Callen says.

"It was all in the folder I gave you before I signed him to a contract. You didn't read it?" Hetty is exasperated.

"Let me tell them Hetty." Mindy asks.

"Ok Ms. Jackson."

"First off, Marty's IQ is genius level with it being 150. Once he reads something, he doesn't forget it. He graduated from law school at the top of his class and ranked in the top 1% of anyone that's taken the bar exam. He's fluent in 7 languages as if he was born to them. He has the highest conviction rate of any undercover operator at LAPD. He's a qualified long range sniper and is highly proficient with almost any hand gun. And if that's not enough, he carries a knife."

"Yeah, well, we all carry a knife" Sam scoffs.

"Maybe so. But nothing like Shaggy's. Show them Shaggy."

Deeks reaches behind his back under his shirt and pulls out a knife that looks to be fairly large.

"Gawd" Callen exclaims, "What . . . where did. . . Damn that's big! It looks more like a sword!"

Deeks explains "My grandpa was in WWII and towards the end of the war, they were scouring the caves on Okinawa for bodies. He found what he thought at the time to be a samurai sword. After he had removed the rocks it was partially buried under, he found it to be a broken Japanese short sword. He put it in his belt rigging and brought it home with him after the war. He knew a smithy in northern California and brought the sword to him and asked him if it could be repaired in some way. The smithy took care of the broken edge and shortened the handle to balance the sword out. He customized the handle with that small ball on the end. I have a special sheath that holds it and it's easy to get to. My mother gave it to me when I first became a cop."

"I need to talk to Hetty." Mindy says and walks over to her desk. "So, what did you want to talk about Hetty?"

"Mr. Deeks." Hetty replies. "I will let him work with you but I signed him for a completely different reason. I want him to partner with Agent Blye. They don't know it yet, but together they could almost be unstoppable. I also want him to be an agent, but I can see that may be a chore. The man is stubborn."

"That he is. But Director Vance wants him also. I have it on good authority that Vance has asked him to join NCIS. He has even offered waiving FLETC and the Probationary time. I also heard he may have offered him Senior Agent status if he would join."

"Well now, that's all news to me. I tell you what Ms. Jackson, I'll let him work with you for 180 days. If you get him to join NCIS, I'll give him the choice to let him finish out the year with you. I need the other team to see him in action. They just don't realize what he brings to the team."

Mindy holds her hand out to Hetty and says, "It's a deal." And then gets up to rejoin her team. As she draws near to the team she starts to reminisce of the ops she has done where Deeks happened to be undercover. Oh, she thinks, I need him on my team as an agent. Somehow I need to make him see the light. "Ok team, let's go get settled in." she says and takes them to the other side of the building to another bull pen.
