When they arrived at the motel where Deeks was staying, they found the room empty. Empty but not in a mess like they were expecting. Maybe his cover wasn't compromised. But they couldn't risk it. They sneaked in the apartment without anyone seeing them. They didn't even tell the manager. Deeks' car was exploded and they probably knew where he was living.

The apartment had a view at the beach. You could see the waves crashing at the seashore and the seagull flying about the water. It was really peaceful and beautiful.

"Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary." Danny said looking around. "Maybe he wasn't made after all."

Sam was looking at the small bookcase at the corner of the room when he noticed a small black device and he approached. He carefully looked it. "I think he is now." They all turned to him. Sam picked up the device and showed it to them. It was a microphone! "Either he put it here, which I find pointless, or some else did."

"Which is more likely to be happening." Callen said referring to the fact that some else place the micro.

They stepped outside the apartment and Steve took out his phone and called Kono. "Kono, we found a microphone. Do you think you'll be able to trace the signal?"

"I'll try."

"Alright, thanks." and they hung up. "What's bothering you?" he asked his old friend noticing a strange look in his face.

"Something Hetty said." and he turned to his partner who was thinking the same thing. Hetty didn't believe that Granger sent Deeks to Hawaii to track down a terrorist group but for another reason. Even though she didn't say it, they knew it. They could feel it.

"Is there something you want to tell us?" Callen asked directly Granger.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you bring Deeks here for the reason we were told or for some other?" Steve and Danny looked at each other confused. "Hetty thinks you brought him here for another reason. A reason we don't know. And if you want us to find him, you better tell us."

"I don't like your tone Agent Callen."

"With all due respect sir, if there is something more that might help us find him, we need to know." Steve said.

Granger took a deep breath and finally told them. "Eight months ago, I received some surveillance pictures. Someone was and still is watching Agent Blye. I tried to find out who sent them but all I could find was where he was living."

"And he lives here, in Hawaii?" Callen asked.

"Yeah. I tried to date these pictures. The oldest was on April 2012. The latest was two or three days before I was sent them." All four were staring at him. "There were even photos from Afghanistan."

Sam saw the look on Steve and Danny's face and said "She was on a mission in Afghanistan for five months about a year ago."

"This guy has become her shadow for the last three years, literally. At first, Deeks didn't know either. A few days after he left, I came here and talked to him. Whoever he is, he has managed to follow her everywhere and she never noticed. That means he's good. We need to find him. Fast."

"Did he lately send you any other pics?" Sam asked.

"No. I hope he doesn't know she's pregnant."

"She is safe where she is right now, sir." Steve assured him. "And she can live with me and Catherine if you guys need to stay here for long."

Sorry for the small chapter but I stuck and didn't know how to continue. Promise to think something.
