I'm coming out.

Chapter 13

Deeks stood holding the gun, he couldn't stop shaking. Callen was his friend and he understood that some of the things he was saying might be true, but this was his child, his baby boy and he and Eric would lose out if he didn't stop him.

"I...I can't Callen...my son..." He tried to explain the turmoil inside him but he couldn't.

"We will help you to be with your son, I know the pain of losing children to his situation." Nikita said.

"You can't promise that." Deeks snapped, "They will throw you in jail."

"And if they do, things will stay the same and you will have your son. If they don't, maybe we can make the change and still help you and your husband to have your son."

"What if his mother will not give him up?" Deeks asked still holding the gun on Nikita's son.

"Not all Brood Mares actually want to keep their children or feel any love towards them, do you know the name of the woman carrying your child?" Arkady asked.

Deeks nodded, out of curiosity Eric had hacked into the system to see if the broodmare looked like them, hoping she had blonde hair like they did. "Celia Blackwood."

Arkady gave a curt nod and picked up the phone.

"Put it down!" Deeks ordered.

"It is not far, I am just asking Michelle to come back in. I promise no....how you say, funny business?" Arkady asked looking to his nephew hoping he had got the saying right.

Callen nodded, "Tell her to leave Jacob with Charlie."

Sam raised an eyebrow at Callen. He knew people well enough to trust them with his son and was giving orders?

Arkady nodded and turned his attention to Deeks, "With your permission?" he asked.

Deeks gave a curt nod, "But no funny business or Callen gets it first."

Arkady shot a worried look to Nikita but dialled.

"I need someone to bring Michelle Mason back to the main house, please ask Charlie if she will watch Jacob for her, it is important." He said and hung up.

"Deeks...please..." Kensi said worried for her friends state of mind.

"Just sit and wait." Deeks growled.

Callen sat in the chair Deeks indicated worried as to what his friend would do when Michelle came in. More than anything he didn't want her hurt.

"Deeks please, you don't need the gun. If 'chelle knows her, she will tell you what you want to know, you don't really want to shoot us do you?"

There was a short rap at the door and Michelle smiled as she stuck her head inside. "You wanted me?"

Her smiled faded as she noticed Deeks in one corner with a gun, she came in and closed the door.

Ignoring the fact that Deeks still had the gun trained on him, Callen moved to protect Michelle who grabbed his hand in fear.

"Greg?" she asked.

"Are you wearing a wire?" Deeks snarled pointing the gun at her.

"Don't be daft, she's been gone all of ten minutes, she had no idea you were holding a gun on us and who the hell would be on the other end, the cops?" Callen sneered derisively.

"Who's Greg?" Deeks asked.

Callen sighed, "I'm Greg, it's my name. You wanted to ask her, she's here so ask her."

Deeks looked at her, "I want the truth woman or I will shoot him." He waved the gun at Callen and Michelle gulped and nodded grabbing G's hand and holding it tight.
