Interviewer: Tell me how this all started.

Deeks, drawing in a breath between his pursed lips: Ooh, that’s an interesting question. Well, I began as a lawyer—you know, wanting to see justice served and all that—but I realized that wasn’t for me, so I applied to the police academy. I didn’t have the easiest time there.

Interviewer: Agent Deeks, perhaps you could just stick to your time here with NCIS.

Interview, bemused: Whichever you think is most relevant to your work with the agency.

Deeks, pleasantly: Oh, I’d say they’re all relevant. My first case with NCIS really forged my place on the team, though it took some time for everyone to realize my brilliance.

Interviewer: I think we’re done here.

Deeks: Happy to be of help. *he starts to walk away* The legal offer still stands if you change your mind!
