Chapter 7

"Callen, the threat is neutralized. Come on in."He then walks over to Hetty. "Little Mother? You okay?" Deeks asks.

"I'm good. I could use a cup of tea though." Hetty gets up from her chair and looks down at the captured man. "I told you this was a bad idea."

"Care to tell me what this is all about?" Deeks asks.

"Ask him."Hetty says, "But first, let him up."

Deeks stalks over to the corner where the older man is tied up and kneels alongside of him getting ready to cut the ties binding his arms and feet. He can see the guy is conscious so he reaches for the duct tape covering his mouth to pull it off. It's at that time that Callen and the others enter the room after getting the lights and cameras back up and working.

Sam's first words were, "How did you knock him out?"

Deeks looks at the guy laying there and answers Sam. "It wasn't planned that way Sam. The knife turned on me after I threw it." Deeks could see the color drain from the guys face as he realizes what he had just heard. Deeks looks at Sam and winks, letting Sam know he just said that for grins and giggles. He turns back to the man on the floor and rips the tape off his mouth and cuts the ties.

"My name is "Special Agent Marty Deeks, NCIS. Who are you?"

"The direct approach. You know, that's an interesting tactic unless, of course, you walk directly into a trap."

"Nope, no trap." Deeks tells him. "We reconned the building before entry. Normally, in cases such as this one, I disable the perp, that's you, with extreme prejudice. But I exercised a little caution today as my boss wasn't hurt, tied up, or otherwise in harms way. It was your lucky day. So, who the hell are you and what the hell are you trying to do?"

"My name is Owen Granger. I'm your new Assistant Director."He says. "What the hell was this about? I wanted to see this team in action."

Deeks comes back with, "You almost saw this team kill you."

"That would have been awkward." Granger states.

"Not to mention all the paper work we would have to do!" Hetty remarks.

Granger looks askance at Hetty and then turned his gaze back to Deeks and states, "I know you. But I thought you were dead. I saw you covering two children as you bled out several years ago."

"Yeah, that was me. Thankfully I lived. I wish Jackie would have."

"Well, there aren't many people that would do what you did that day. You saved those two kids and almost saved Jackie." Granger tells him.

Callen comes in with, "What are you two guys talking about?"

Granger starts telling the team about the op that day. "At the time, as I found out later, then Detective Deeks was under cover as a shooter for a gun for hire group out of South LA. This particular group only dealt with high level targets and foreign dignitaries. It so happened that Eli David, the director of Mossad, was scheduled to have dinner with Leon Vance at Leon's house in the near future and was a target. The leader of the ring had been contacted about taking David out, along with Vance. He called his top shooter, a rogue Mossad agent, and gave him the information and let him know he would be sending out a backup for the hit.

Deeks had all the evidence needed to bring down the ring, including all of the low level players, but he had never met this one. He had only seen him one time from a distance. He needed to let his handler know about the upcoming hit in DC. Lt. Bates was Deeks's handler at the time and, hearing the story about incoming dignitaries, and the take out order on them, he notified the FBI and told them Deeks was flying out to DC. and would be in contact with them.

As soon as Deeks landed, he called his contact at the FBI to let him know he was here. That FBI Agent was Tobias Fornell who was at NCIS talking to Gibbs about Gibbs's ex-wife who was presently Fornell's current wife. At that time, Mindy Jackson was also in DC visiting Gibbs's team. She went with Fornell to check in with Deeks and say hi. It was decided that Jackson and Fornell would be outside waiting for the go order from Deeks. As soon as he was to enter the back, Fornell and Jackson were going in the front. After leaving them, Deeks called the shooter to let him know he was here. The shooter told him that the hit would go down the next evening and to meet up with him at the corner by Dir. Vance's house. He would be in a dark red sedan.

The next evening, Deeks met up with the shooter and they formulated a plan. He would go in the back door in case there were others in the house besides who was supposed to be there, while the shooter entered the front. As they left the car and walked towards Vance's house, Deeks caught a look at Jackson sitting in a driveway across the street and gave her a thumbs up. Deeks and the shooter split up then and he waited until the shooter had picked the door lock and told him to head to the back. As soon as Deeks was out of sight, he keyed his earwig on and told Fornell to be by the house and to be ready.

Deeks was supposed to wait 1 minute before entering but he went early in order to get the lay of the house. Before entering, he pulled his badge out from his shirt and let it hang from its chain as he entered the house. The first person he saw was Jackie Vance. He held a finger to his lips keeping Jackie quiet and explained what was going on. The only trouble with the plan was the shooter started firing as soon as he entered the house. He took out Eli and his body guard and then turned his weapon on Dir. Vance. Deeks yelled at Vance and as Vance turned to look at Deeks, the shooter fired, hitting Leon in the left arm. Leon fell to the floor and the shooter saw Deeks grab the kids and try to get them out of the room and into the kitchen.

He had just pulled the trigger, shooting Deeks, when Fornell and Jackson got into the room. They both fired on the shooter and as he fell, he squeezed the trigger one last time, hitting Jackie Vance dead center in her chest. She was dead before she hit the floor. I entered the house just a few seconds later along with the rest of Gibbs's team. I saw Deeks laying there with a GSW to the left center side of his back, covering the Vance kids with his body and Vance on the floor bleeding while holding his dead wife. Eli David was crumpled on the floor, along with his body guard, both dead.

Mindy Jackson was yelling to someone for an ambulance, saying that Deeks was still alive. Other than Callen, I had never heard of anyone surviving a GSW like Deeks had. It turned out that he coded twice on the way to the hospital and, once he arrived, it was touch and go for the next few days. He was kept in a medically induced coma so that his lung would heal and 3 days later they let him 'wake up'."

Deeks interrupts Granger saying, "That's enough Assistant Dir. No need in reliving that particular day."

Seeing the look on her boyfriend's face, Kensi stands a little closer to him and entwines their hands together. As soon as she does that, she feels him relax slightly.

The next few months fly by and then out of the blue, Kensi is arrested for murder relating to her father's death. At the end though, it is discovered that a friend of her father's had actually killed him and the rest of their team. She confronts him at her mother's house and could have killed him but decides after beating him in a knife fight to let him live and go to jail for life instead. As she stumbles her way down the remaining stairs to where her team is awaiting her, Peter Claremont pulls an ankle gun out and readies to shoot her. Deeks sees that, draws his knife and throws it. Claremont dies on the landing of the stairway that day from a knife buried in his forehead. Callen, Sam, and Granger, all spin their heads at that and Deeks just looks at them and says, "What?" Without waiting for an answer, he walks over to reclaim his knife with a dour look on his face. All in all, the events of the day end up having a silver lining though. Kensi had her mother back in her life and things are going well with them now.

Deeks hugs Kensi and tells her, "C'mon Blye, let's get you stitched up and if you're good, maybe I'll get you an ice-cream on the way home."

Kensi looks him in the eyes and sees nothing but devotion towards her and thanks her lucky stars for meeting him.

Several months later Kensi and Deeks are under cover as a married couple trying to smoke out a Russian sleeper cell. Kensi learns a valuable lesson during that op . . . she didn't like anyone kissing her Deeks but her and when it's over and done with, she shows him. No one sees or hears from the two of them the entire weekend. Deeks learns a valuable lesson on that OP as well. No kissing any female on any forthcoming OPs unless it's Kensi.

A few weeks later, the Chameleon kills Renko and Hunter and then surrenders himself to NCIS. While in the boatshed, they tell him he's to be exchanged for an abducted NSA analyst named Atley who has special knowledge of the Iranian nuclear program and the name of a contact inside Iran. It is imperative to get him back. During the exchange, Callen loses it and ends up shooting and killing the Chameleon. Or so it appears to the team. Unbeknownst to them, it is all a ruse. After everything is said and done, Callen is cleared of all wrong doing and life goes on.

As time wears on, Kensi and Deeks grow closer and closer. In fact, it gets to the point where to others they seem to be inseparable. The team and Hetty have never seen Kensi as happy and carefree as she has been as of late and it is all because of Deeks. Life is good. The outside would not have noticed any changes. They banter, argue, and pick on each other as they had done since they had first become partners. But to Callen and Sam, Deeks and Kensi are closer than they had ever been before. It's the little things, like them holding hands or their quick glances, or the supportive smiles. This is how things are going to be, they want to keep their relationship out of the public view. Neither Sam nor Callen say anything; they both know that together they are stronger than they know. They watch them grow together and it is well worth having to put up with them, not that it's a big deal as they try to keep any PDA to an absolute minimum. The team dynamics come into full bloom and Hetty is beside herself with happiness.

The following week is full of drudgery. There are no cases coming in so the abundant paper work takes precedence. Deeks loses himself in memories early one morning, thinking of his past before NCIS took him in. His thoughts are reluctantly dragged back to a time when he was on his own. No backup. No team. Just him, working alone to bring down an illegal operation of some kind. He had done it then, because that's all he knew, but not without sacrificing a part of himself to do it. It had been months of hell every time he went under, but he had convinced himself it was the only way to get the job done. Maybe it had been at that time, but now he is thankful for the team and the way they handle cases, but most of all, he is thankful for his partner and the way they work together so well. He is so very glad she's his.

By the end of the week, everyone has so much pent up energy, that they decide to meet at a club after they all go home to change. The night finds Deeks, Kensi, Sam, Callen, Eric and Nell out at a Club with a round of shots in front of them and a heavy beat in the back ground. "Dance with me Marty?" Kensi asks. Deeks nods and they walk onto the dance floor, getting lost in the sea of people. As they dance, Deeks's 'spidey senses' kick in. It feels like someone is watching him or Kensi, or the two of them together. He takes hold of Kensi and twirls her around and holds her close. He pretends to nuzzle her neck while all the time he is actually whispering in her ear about someone possibly watching them. Hearing this, she goes into agent mode and starts searching the crowd, looking for someone out of place. When the song ends, they walk back to the table and keeps a vigilant eye out. Not noticing anything off kilter, they go back to talking with their friends and teasing Beale and Nell a little. About 30 minutes later, three large men come out of the crowd around their table. The one guy in front looks familiar to Deeks but he can't place him. They walk right up to the table and the big guy in front grabs hold of Kensi's arm and says, "Hey babe. I'm finally healed up and ready to resume our engagement." Jack announces. He had the look of a trained fighter.

"Before you say anymore, I got something to say to you." Deeks growls and stands up. "How the hell could you leave her? All you had to do was let her help you. She would have done anything to help you, but you ran. You don't deserve her so let go of her right now! She's given me her heart and I don't plan on letting it get away anytime soon. She's the most amazing woman on this planet and she chose to be with me." Deeks says with a smile on his face that lit up the room.

Kensi has a huge grin on her bright red face as she listens to Deeks. Knowing then and there he is the one for her.

Right about then, Jack decides he wants to hurt Deeks and goes after him. Just like the sparring session he had with Barrows, Deeks takes care of Jack Simon in no time at all. Sam and Callen had grabbed his two cohorts to keep things fair. Shortly after being beat down, Jack rises from the floor and slinks out of the bar with his tail between his legs.

All in all, Deeks thinks to himself, the night went pretty good. He'd gotten rid of some pent up energy and as soon as he and Kensi get home, he's gonna help her get rid of some as well and then smiles at her.
