The Empty glass of truth.

Chapter 4

"MOM!" Callen yelled and ran up the beach towards her.

"Mom?" Sam and Kensi said.

Callen skidded to his knees beside her, "Mom…mama please don't die…I'm sorry…" he found he couldn't stop the tears from falling as he grasped her hand and looked up into Deeks' eyes as he knelt the other side of her.

"Eric we need an ambulance." Sam said into the earwig.

"Already on its way, Hetty is sending the CIA guys for your prisoner, if you want to go to the hospital with them." Eric replied.

"Mama please…wake up…" Callen said.

Deeks reached over and grasped his hand. "It'll be ok."

"She can't die…I need her…I need to know…" he stroked the hair from her face.

"Callen, she still has a pulse, she's not going to die." Deeks said trying to stay calm.

"But she did last time…I saw the blood and the hole….there…" his fingers found a scar on her temple. "They took her away they said she was dead…they…they left me…" Callen was lost in a whole new flood of memories as the ambulance pulled up near the track and two paramedics came down.

"Callen…" Deeks said trying to move him.

"No…NO…ne umiray , ne ostavlyay menya snova ..." he sobbed caught up in his past.

Clara moved and opened her eyes, "Moy syn, Grisha, …nikogda… ostavit vas." She gasped grabbing his hand.

Deeks stood stunned, "Mom?"

Clara blinked and looked at Deeks, "Martin…What happened?" She asked.

"Ma'am you have to lie down, we need to get you to a hospital and get you checked out." One of the paramedics said,

Deeks stood up as the lifted her onto a gurney, "Will she be ok?" he asked.

"You are?"

"I'm her son, please…" the paramedic nodded.

"Would you come with us, we will need information on her." He asked.

Deeks followed the paramedics up to the ambulance and got inside turning looking for Callen as they went to shut the doors.

But he couldn't see him.

Sam and Kensi peeled their eyes from the scene and went to take Alexi into custody. "Where's G?" Sam asked looking around.

Kensi shrugged as they reached her car and placed Alexi in the back, "Dunno, your car's gone though so I assume he's following Deeks to the hospital,"

She shut the door so that Alexi couldn't hear what she was about to say, "Did you hear Callen…He called her mom?"

Sam shrugged, "Maybe it reminded him of something, I mean he told us his mother was shot in the head. You don't bounce back from that!" he said.

Kensi looked at him, "But he said Mom…Do you think, maybe…?"

Sam shook his head, there wasn't a lot he knew about his partner, hell, there wasn't a lot his partner knew about himself. But he did know his mother had died on that beach in Romania.

"I don't know, lets drop this guy off and we'll head to the hospital and catch up with Callen and Deeks." Sam said walking to the driver's side, "And I'm driving." He added grabbing the keys from Kensi.

Clara woke up to a smell of antiseptic and the soft beep of a heart monitor. She slowly opened her eyes and pushed herself groaning into a sitting up position.
