NCIS/NCIS: Los Angeles is not owned by me in any shape or form. I am sad.

This whole story is set directly after season 4 episode 14, 'Kill House'. Read the first chapter to catch up!

Part Four! Something a little short again but I wanted to insert some of the team and some comedy to add something different to the story.

Domino's has just come out with a cheeseburger pizza where I live, hence the idea haha.

Enjoy!

"OH my, our Mr Eric Beale, no longer a virgin, congratulations!" Deeks called out from the bullpen as Eric and Nell entered the building in a staggered formation, standing and running over to meet them.

Nell walked past the two and headed for the stairs up to Ops as quickly as possible, witnessing Kensi slap Deeks around the head as she returned to her seat after grabbing a cup of coffee.

"Kenzilla, what was that for?!" the detective shrieked in pain.

"For harassing poor Eric!" she exclaimed, before continuing to Eric: "Anyway, congratulations, didn't know that's how you celebrate!"

Eric simply stood stationary with a wide-eyed blank stare, although shock, embarrassment, and a good deal of fear was still portrayed on his face.

Deeks curiously eyed his fellow surfer for a few moments before turning to Kensi.

"I think I broke him" he stated matter-of-factly, pointing to the blond, "a glitch in the matrix if you will."

The sole female agent simply rolled her eyes and returned to her report.

Shaggy turned back to Eric, clicking his fingers in-front of his eyes to return him to earth.

"The shirt" Deeks simply stated when he saw that Eric had returned.

"I-I like it"

"Very kindergarten of you. Like the creases too?"

While Nell had had the opportunity to change being in her apartment Eric had not, and so still wore the clothes he had worn and slept in yesterday.

He worryingly admired the creases, gulping as he tried to straighten them out with his hand.

"Let me tell you right now, that won't work - you need an iron matey. An incinerator would also do the trick, think it would help the rest of your wardrobe as well"

A nervous Eric couldn't formulate any words and instead stood there mouthing nothing in particular.

Kensi's head came up from her report as she noticed the awkward silence and decided to get involved.

"Err, says you - everything you own looks like it came from the same back-alley trash can line as Artie!"

"HA!" exclaimed Eric loudly, making Deeks flinch and Kensi half-jump.

Upon realising that the sound had escape his mouth, he glanced around in horror with his mouth half agape, both agents staring at him in both shock and amusement.

After a while he was finally able to make a sound again.

"Ah, um, Ops, er good morning, umm bye?" was faltering reply before he turned and ran up the stairs, seemingly tripping over every single step.

Kensi and Deeks watched Eric until he was out of sight, then kept staring at the spot where they saw him last.

A throat being cleared brought their attention to the bullpen where Hetty was now present.

"Hetty?.." the liaison softly and anxiously began.

"What seems to be the problem Mr Deeks?"

"I think I need mental help..."

"So what was-"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"But what did he sa-"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"What did you sa-"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Pizza for dinne-"

"Nell, I don't want to talk abo- oh yes please! You know, that shop just outside the mall has started doing cheeseburger pizzas - beef, tomatoes, onions, gherkins, extra cheese and their signature burger sauce. It's like a burger on the outside of a burger but on a pizz- wait, if a burger is on the outside of a burger is that still a burger? Or is it a bun? Because we call a burger a burger even though a burger is just one ingredient in the middle so if there's a burger on the outside, a bun underneath and a bun in the middle, it would be a bun. I don't know, I'll have to make one when I get home!"

"Okay Eric…"
