K- "No. But my father died overseas while deployed in Iraq. I was 15." Deeks said through her earpiece
D-"Guys you got company. 2 guys, packing guns you need to get out now!"
K-"We have to go."
We leave the room and 2 guys pulled out weapons and started an open a fire fight in the middle of the bank. Kensi and I quickly duck behind a desk and I was able to take one of the men out first try. The man took a teller hostage still continuing to fire his weapon in our direction. I snuck around the desks and behind the file storage. I got into position, aimed, fired and hit him right in the head. The police arrived, taped off the area and questioned me about it. I saw the faces of the men and I knew that they were two of Bitar's men. Their names were Abdul Zahid and Alvan Awad. We arrived at the headquarters and I was sent straight up to OPS, that is where I met Eric and Nell. They were still trying to crack my encryption key. It was a simple code for someone at my IQ, I walk over pin in the code and all the code decrypted. They started to scroll through all of the messages and information that I had on Bitar. I soon got a phone call from an unknown number
C- "Hello. Who is this?"
B- "I heard that you killed two of my men today at the bank. They were by best men."
C- "Bitar.... How did you get this number? Your men deserved to die and so do you. I will track you down and kill you before you get to me."
B- "Don't try to trace this number, it is untraceable. Now I will make sure that you will join the rest of you family in hell."
C- "I don't need to trace the call, you are in LA. I saw you outside the bank; you were in a black SUV. 2 men in the car with you, no plates, scratch right side of the car and a sticker top left corner of the wind shield."
B- "You would be a great asset on my team, no one would suspect you."
C- "I will kill you before I join your team. Now I have some unfinished business to complete which is killing you."
I hung up the phone and opened a locked folder filled with incoming and outgoing emails between Bitar and high value contacts. I verbally translated them from Arabic.
C-"This email was sent yesterday 'The US will soon find out how it feels to not know who and when someone will die. The first target Claire Walker, age 12 lives in downtown LA. Will attack when she is in the CNB, if that fails she will die at 0200 Monday morning at her home.' So the next attack is on me at my home in less than 7 hours."
D- "Wow, what a great Uncle. Bet he was no fun at dinner parties."
