Hello my lovelies. I would like to thank Guest, Petunia3116, Beststoriesever and Thevampiresrulez for the amazing reviews. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured since my last update. You are all awesome.
So this chapter covers the whole of season 2, episode 7 'Anonymous'. I found it seriously hard to write and it's a bit choppy, but I hope it's okay and that you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS: LA nor any of the lines I have taken from the show.
The case of the shooting at the federal building soon became one of looking for a four man terrorist cell who had had reconstructive surgery so that their faces wouldn't be recognised, and a hunt for the only woman who knew what they now looked like and could help them stop in impending attack. Every time Eric had to brief the team he found he couldn't meet Deeks or Callen's eyes without a small smile appearing on his lips at how well they made it seem like nothing was going on between them. But then they were undercover agents, it was there job he guessed, and really nothing to do with him.
The team split, with Sam and Callen going after intel on the attack, while Kensi and Deeks went looking for the woman. Which was going fine, they spotted her at the Malibu Medi-Spa and everything. But when Deeks went to follow her, it didn't go quite according to plan.
Sam and Callen were on their way out to an address Eric had found when they met Deeks coming back in, being led by Kensi as he currently had his eyes closed. His very red and sore looking eyes. It made Callen go instantly on alert. He wanted nothing more than to take Marty from Kensi and guide him to his chair and look after him, but he knew he couldn't do that. They were in the middle of a case. But he couldn't stop the worry in his voice as he spoke.
"What happened to you?" He asked gently, completely ignoring the other two people standing with them making Sam roll his eyes as him.
"I got peppered." Deeks replied with sigh. He had hoped that he could avoid running into G until the irritation had gone done a bit. I mean he really would prefer if his boyfriend didn't see him like this. But too late now.
"Peppered? Heh. Any luck with Jillian?" Sam asked causing Kensi to turn to him and therefore miss the worried, protective look on G's face as he studied the damage.
"Yeah. Yeah I found her. He lost her." Kensi replied with a shake of her head. Only Deeks would get himself peppered, it was like he was a trouble magnet or something.
"I don't want to talk about it. I'll be fine." Deeks responded though the last bit was more directed to G than to Sam. He didn't want him to worry about him.
Of course Kensi then went into details of how it had come about but Callen really wasn't listening. He was still watching Marty to make sure he really was going to be okay. Deciding that he would be fine, Kensi would look after the guy and Hetty was around as well, he and Sam proceeded to the car to go and see if they could stop this terrorist attack.
"He'll be fine, G." Sam said once they were driving away and he noticed his partner was even more quiet than usual. Trust Deeks to get himself injured and worry Callen. This was why he really didn't think it was a good idea to date co-workers.
"I know he will." Callen replied before turning the conversation back to the case and pushing his thoughts about Marty to the back of his mind. Sam was right, his boyfriend would be fine.
The next time he saw Marty he was looking much better, and they had Jillian, not that she was talking. It was then Sam chose to go in and speak to her, leaving the rest of the team outside so they could watch on the monitors. After all as he pointed out to G, he had a lot more in common with her than either he or Kensi did.
So that was how both Kensi and Deeks found out that Sam had kids, plural. That there was a lot more to the senior agent than either of them had known. Because Sam had a family. Deeks could understand him keeping it a secret, they all had secrets, but it did give him another insight into G's partner, and his boyfriend's relationship with the man. He remembered when they had first got together G had said he was sleeping on Sam's couch, so he must have interacted with the Hanna family. Must be close not just to Sam, but his kids and wife as well, if he had one. He hadn't seen Sam wearing a wedding ring, but he guessed in this job it was better not to show any personal connections. He wouldn't ask for any more details unless Sam choose to share them, but it did give him one more clue into the relationship G had with his partner. The relationship that he knew meant so much to both of them.
They finally found the target of the attack, and to stop it they would have to go in undercover, meaning they would all have to dress up in Hetty's best tuxedos. Deeks had to say he approved of the attire, he looked frigging awesome. He was even more approving when he saw G come out wearing his own. Damn that guy looked hot in a tux. He had a real James Bond vibe going on, and Deeks loved it.
Callen for his own part decided that Marty looked way to sexy in his own suit, it seemed to hang on his body yet it was tight in all the right places in his mind. Oh yeah, he might have to find other undercover ops where the younger man would have to wear that again. He knew Hetty did like getting value for money for the clothes she arranged for them all after all. But first they had to stop a terrorist attack.
They managed it, just in the nick of time turning off the gas before it was released on the unsuspecting public. It was a job well done and they all were feeling pretty good with themselves as they returned to the mission.
It was Deeks who suggested they go out and road test there swanky clothing, even if he knew for a fact two out of the three men present were not available, namely himself and G. It would still be good fun to have a few cocktails, and see if he could persuade G to try and talk to him in a British accent while drinking a martini, shaken not stirred. But it seemed Hetty wasn't so keen on his plan. So rather than hitting the town he, Sam and G found themselves changing back into their regular clothes, Kensi having already left for her date with a bubble bath and a tub of Rocky Road.
"Hey G. Michelle has ordered you and your boyfriend to come have dinner with us tomorrow night." Sam said as he checked the messages on his phone and saw the one from his wife. She wanted to meet Deeks, make sure he was good enough for his partner. And Sam being the slightly devious man he was, couldn't wait to see what she did to the guy.
"Wait ordered… who's Michelle?" Deeks asked with confusion as he looked between the other two who just smirked at each other.
"Michelle is his wife." Callen supplied with a smile. He was sure that Michelle actually told Sam to ask them, but Sam's words were a more accurate read of the woman.
"She wants me to come to dinner? Why?" Deeks asked alarmed. he had realised that G had to be close to Sam's family, but surely he could have more time to come to terms with the idea that they were at the stage where they he was meeting the family than just a day, right? Why did it have to be so soon?
"She wants to make sure your good enough for him." Sam replied his smirk going even bigger as he saw Deeks eyes widen at that bit of intel. It was nothing but the truth after all.
"Okay, well… okay." Deeks finally responded still getting his head around that apparently he was meeting G's family tomorrow night, or at least the only family he knew about anyway. Oh this could go so bad.
"Tell her we'll be there." Callen replied chuckling at Marty's reaction. He couldn't understand it, he was just having dinner with Sam's family. They were okay, though he should probably warn him about Kam's love of Disney princesses and tea parties.
Callen returned to Marty's house with him, though they both drove their own cars, and as such they didn't get a chance to talk until they were inside.
"So what's Michelle like?" Deeks asked as soon as the door closed behind them. He needed to know so he could prepare for the dinner the next evening.
"She's nice, ex-CIA." Callen replied as if that explained everything, making Deeks roll his eyes at such a detailed description.
"Oh great, another spy. So how many children do they have?" He asked trying to get as much intel as he could now it seemed he was going to be meeting them. It was prudent to be prepared.
"Two. But only their daughter Kam will be there. Aidan is away at school." Callen responded while grabbing them both a beer before settling onto the couch with Marty in his arms.
"Okay, anything I should know?" Deeks asked realising that G wasn't telling him anything really. Though whether it was through design, or because he was G, he wasn't sure.
"Be prepared to discuss Disney princesses and be glad tomorrow isn't Sunday, you always want to avoid the Sunday casserole." Callen replied simply before moving to hand Marty the TV controls and ending the conversation. He would meet them soon enough, and could then see for himself what Sam's family were like. In fact Callen was looking forward to it. He wanted to be able to share that part of his life with the man in his arms now Sam knew about them. Yeah, tomorrow was going to be a good day.
