I had taken a break from writing for a while. I am trying to get back into it. I kind of got stuck on "Trouble is Coming" so if anyone has any suggestions I will be glad to hear them. I know that this storyline has been done before, but this my take.


Sam entered the building and looked around, all he saw was Kensi her desk. "Where is Deeks?"

"Bates called him. What about Callen?" She responds.

"He had some appointment."

Kensi nods and gets back to her paperwork.


Callen is sitting in some lawyer's office unaware as to why he was called down here. "What is going on here?" He asks.

"We are waiting for one more person to arrive and then we will get started."

Callen nods and looks around the office. He wishes he knew why he was here. The door opens and the last person he expects to see walks into the room.

"Ah Mr. Deeks, please have a seat." The lawyer, Mr. Olson says pointing to the chair next to Callen.

Deeks sits in the chair and looks to Callen.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

"Why are we here?" Deeks asks.

The Mr. Olson turns on a video of a woman. Callen immediately recognized her. If Deeks did, he gave no indication. The video begins to play.

You may not remember me but my name is Misty Walker. But the two of you probably remember me more as Missy. Of all the children; to ever come into my care, you two needed me the most. Always looking for a family. I do wish that we had the chance to be the family the two of you needed. Maybe now you guys can be that family; that is my sincere wish.

Thevideo ended.

"Missy left you two a sizable inheritance and a trust fund for the two of you to share. I know that this is a lot to take in, so if you have any questions feel free to contact me." Mr. Olson said handing out card to each of them.

Callen and Deeks did not seem to be paying any attention to Mr. Olson and did not notice the card he was trying to hand them. Callen came out of it first and grabbed both cards. He remembers Missy; she was his last foster mother. Now that he thinks more about Missy, he remembers a little boy that could possibly be Deeks.

FLASHBACK

Seventeen-year-old Callen is sitting at the dining room table working on his homework. Missy is helping thirteen-year-old Joshua with his math homework. As soon as Joshua is done, he runs out to the backyard to play. Missy comes over to Callen and brushes his bangs from his forehead. Callen has only been with her a few days; but he is getting used to loving touches from her. Not many of his foster families have ever been that loving with him.

DING-DONG

Missy gets up to answer the door. An older woman with a little boy whose arm is in a cast come in. Missy speaks to the woman for a few minutes and then the woman leaves. Missy leads to the little boy over to the couch. The child doesn't look at her or even respond to anything she says. Missy goes to the kitchen to get the child a snack. Callen follows her in.

"Who's that? What's wrong with him?" He asks.

"His name is Martin, and like you he's been through a lot. Maybe you and I can help to bring him out of his shell." Missy responds.

Callen stares at the withdrawn child sitting on the couch. He will help Martin to get better. He turns back to Missy, "he can sleep in my room."

Missy stares at him surprised. "Why G? I promise you your own room."

"If I am going to help him to get better, then he should be with me."

Missy smiles and gives him a kiss on his cheek.

END FLASHBACK

"Marty, we should get to work." Callen suggests.

Deeks doesn't answer him or even act like he heard him. Callen starts to leave the office and Deeks follows him out.


Callen and Deeks arrive at OPS.

Sam notices them come in together. "What was that all about?"

Deeks goes to sit at his desk and pretends that he didn't hear him. He has a lot going through his mind and has not said a word since seeing Missy on the video. Callen doesn't know what he should say. They haven't discussed it and he sees that Marty is withdrawing into himself like he did when he was child. Callen wonders if he should tell the team about Marty being his foster brother. They are brothers now, at least in his mind. He has what he always wanted, a family. He just hopes that Marty feels the same. The team will know eventually, anyway. So he might as well tell them now.

"Marty Deeks is my brother, well foster brother anyway." Callen says proudly.
