If You Got It, Haunt It

Curtis and Honey Halloween Special

Summary- 2.6k Curtis Everett x Plus!Sized Reader. You and Curtis are out for a night at Paulie's playing a game of pool with Claude and Grey. It all starts with one little Halloween pun and some purple nurples.

Warnings- Smut. This is an 18+ Only Blog.

A/N- Happy Halloween everyone! My personal favorite holiday and I had to drop something to celebrate. I hope everyone finds something good today among all the mayhem our world has going on. Thank you all for all the comments, likes and shares you give this series. The puns were from a reel I saw on facebook and if I ever come across it here, I will be sure to link it because it was so silly and cute.

Life Is Short So Make It Sweet Masterlist

The pool balls clacked across the bars table while you stood nearby watching Curtis and Grey debate on where the balls would go. Claude stood at the other end, picking out pool cues for you and her. 

Money sat on the edge, waiting for the future winner to lay claim. The bar was festively decorated all around, the usual music that Paulie played was now tuned in with some more halloween themed songs. You were waiting for Monster Mash to start playing, already having told Paulie you were gonna need a tray of Purple Nurple shots to be delivered per your and Claude’s request. A little homage to Dean Winchester as well as shooting some purple colored shots. Tis the season after all. 

Curtis wandered over after it was all decided who was playing what ball, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you in close. You sunk into his touch, cuddling in against him. “Mh mh MH.” You started, looking up at him. “I didn’t know my favorite Halloween treat came in life size.” 

“Honey, I will be the monster you can mash.” Curtis immediately responded, a hand wandering to cup your ass, arching your hip to press against his while you hid your giggle in his chest. “You and Grey are stripes.” He rumbled, grumpy in the moment that Claude insisted on switching up the usual teams. “You over here looking all ‘come fuck me Curtis’ Pretty Girl is giving me some thoughts.” His nips on your mouth, tasting of his whiskey shots from earlier making you grin at the sensation, the warmth of his chest seeping through his hoodie and curling through you. You let your hands slide into the pouch at the front of his shirt, tugging Curtis in closer to you till he was wrapped all around you. “Babe, I must be a witch.” You let your nose rub against his before pulling back enough to see his expression, your grin wider with the upcoming joke you had for him. 

“Really? Why’s that, 'cause you put a spell on me?” Curtis played along, his grumpy expression from earlier still a trace on his features, but he was starting to lighten up a bit more while flirting with you. 

“I actually can raise your broomstick without even touching it.” You informed him, arching enough to press a kiss to his bristled cheek while he gave a huff of a laugh, you snorting in a giggle while he hugged you against him. 

“Fuck.” He grunted, talking only loud enough for you to hear so his mouth was close to your ear, the bristles of his cheek a welcome sensation as they brushed against your jawline. “You really do have that kind of magic woman.” 

Claude shouted over the table, making you and Curtis glance her way. “Curtis, remember you're on opposite teams. You can’t be over there flirting with the enemy.” She held up his pool cue. “And it’s your turn.” 

“Then you’re in for some fucking bad luck Claude, 'cause I have no will power against my girl.” Curtis let his hand run along the curve of your ass one more time before pulling away and taking the cue from her, looking around the table for the best shot while Grey appeared behind Claude, catching her in his arms and making her yelp in surprise, the two of them fooling around with one another while Curtis aimed for a shot.

You admired Curtis, so reminiscent of the first time you two played pool when bumping into each other. It was even the same table, the two of you talking and getting to know each other while Curtis taught you how to play. That moment felt like a lifetime ago now, so much having happened between you and Curtis to get to this carefree moment shared with friends. The sound of Claude whooping in victory while Grey groaned had you breaking from your thoughts, giving a shrug of your shoulder to the group as if you weren’t at all worried while you approached the table and prepared to take your turn. 

“Lucky shot Everett, now step aside.” Your hand pushed playfully against the wall of muscle that made up his chest, never really standing a chance at actually moving Curtis back a step but he purposely stumbled back like you did, giving you space to play. 

“Yes Pretty Girl.” He muttered, making Claude shoot him a ‘don’t you dare look’ and he smirked in response. You set yourself closer to the table, leaning into the move with a sharp hit of the follow through and as soon as your shot was done, you felt Curtis’s hands fall to your waist and while you eased up, you were able to lean into his chest, watching the balls scatter once more, not making any shots but helping line up some for Grey to take when his chance came. “Good shot Pretty Girl.” He watched over your shoulder calculating which ones Claude should take. 

“I'm happy with it.” You hummed out. “I sure as hell wasn’t going to be getting any at that time.” 

They watched Claude and Grey play, the two of them doing their own game of flirting. You and Curtis stayed off to the side, losing interest in the game at this point. 

“Pretty Girl, we should be werewolves for Halloween.” 

“Oh really?” You turned in his hold to face him, the two of you wandering further away from the pool table, the halloween music thumping louder and although you knew Curtis wasn’t much for dancing unless the two of you were at the house, you started swaying to the music playing. “Why is that?” 

His hands were flowing over your curves though, tracing you like he couldn't get enough of how you felt moving in his arms. “I bet we would have a howling good time together.” 

You busted into laughter at this one, making him laugh too. Purple People Eater started playing over the speakers and you tilted your head back to listen to the song. “Paulie! Purple Nurples!” You shouted out. Claude danced over to you, grabbing your hands and pulling you into her arms, the two of you bouncing in a childish dance. 

“Yeah, I got them!” He slid a tray across the counter towards Grey, who gathered up the bright purple shots to bring to the table you all had laid claim to earlier. Curtis took one and sniffed it, his nose wrinkling at the smell. 

“Damn that smells sweet.” He handed you yours while waiting for the go ahead to take it. 

“The grape jello, just be quick with it!” You tilted your head back and let it slide down your throat, Curtis doing the same. You reached over for two more, intent on finishing the tray before the song ended. “Hey Curtis, is it Halloween yet?” 

He took the shot, not as enthusiastic as you, but he was willing to stomach the shot once more for you. “Just a couple more days, Pretty Girl and then you can take out those fangs again.” His blue eyes raked over you suggestively, his gaze dark and wanting with his suggestion. 

“Good, Cause you can carve my pumpkins.” You grabbed his hands to lay them on your curvy ass cheeks, arching into his grasp as he squeezed his hands on you and gave a moan that bordered on getting turned on and exasperated at your last lame joke. A swift little swat to your ass made you wriggle against his hold all that much more. 

“How long have you been saving that one Pretty Girl?” 

“Since last week when I saw a tik tok video.” You admitted, tugging on his hoodie. The addition of the purple nurples made you warm and tingly all over in addition to the way you two had been throwing the suggestive touches and words all night. You must have been giving him a look cause the corner of his mouth lifted smirking, his mouth dropping to flush kisses along your jawline to your ear. “Backseat?” 

“You wanna?” 

“Pretty Girl…” His mouth pressed against the pulse point just behind your ear, eliciting a rushed breath as all those tingles and warmth blossomed in you, wanting, craving, needing more. “Always wanna.” His hand took yours, jerking his thumb over his shoulder when he turned to Grey and Claude in their own little world on the other side of the table, the pool game half played. “We’re stepping out for some air, meet back here in a bit?” 

Grey nodded, raising his hand in a thumbs up. “See you guys in a bit.” 

Claude, not quite caught up, raised a questioning brow in your direction but then when it clicked she mimicked Grey with a thumbs up. “Have fun!” 

Before you could respond, Curtis had you weaving across the bar. The two of you rushing into the cool October night. Maybe the purple nurples were giving you some tipsy confidence but you pushed him against the bar's brick wall, his back thudding and he looked down at you in surprise for half a second before cupping the back of your neck and pulling you up enough to kiss you hungrily. 

He tasted wild, a mix of alcohol and him, you ran your hands down his chest and grasped his belt to work the clasp off enough to push your hands into his jeans to rub at his cock through his boxers. Thick and throbbing already, he hissed against your lips while tilting his head back with a groan, his hold against the back of your neck falling to your waist, turning bruising in his lust. “Fuck Pretty Girl, don’t ever stop.” 

“Don’t plan on it Curtis.” You cupped your palm around his length, squeezing just enough to bring him pleasure but not as far as you knew he would want it. Teasing him was fun and you were enjoying the power he gave you over him. But it didn’t last long as he pushed you back enough to continue back to the car, digging for your car keys out of his back pocket since he drove you two here tonight. 

“Curtis… do you wanna play zombies?” You asked as you wrenched open the back door, falling back into the seat to pull yourself back, Curtis following inside to somehow get the door shut and hover over you. 

“What?!” He asked distractedly as you worked your shirt off and he was as well. But he managed to catch up and shook his head. “No? Yes? Why?” 

You giggled a bit, biting your lip as you snapped open the button of his jeans while looking up at him. “If you do then I will just lay here while you eat me.” 

“Oh god Honey.” He laughed hard, his shoulders shaking and his forehead coming to lean against yours, looking in your eyes. “That one was my favorite tonight.” His mouth pressed to yours and you both started grinding against one another. Curtis eventually dragged his mouth from yours so you could catch your breath while following the column of your neck to your collarbone, sucking a nice little mark there while you arched under him, offering yourself to him. He worked your pants open, starting to drag them off while continuing down your body. This time leaving little bite marks after your zombie comment. 

“Just like that.” You moaned while running your hands over his scalp and holding him to your chest after he tugged your bra up enough for your breasts to be free, your sensitive nipples aching pleasurably under his tongue, gasping happily when he dragged one into his mouth and pulled, making your legs wrap around his waist. “Curtis…” You arched again, your body feline rubbing against his now that you were practically bare under him, short of your pants hanging off one leg and your bra pushed up to be no longer practical on your chest. His hand braced against your back and he growled out. “Hold on Pretty Girl.” 

You grabbed onto his shoulders while he maneuvered you both, him in a seated position in the middle of the back seat and you straddling his lap, mouths still chasing after each other. Curtis worked his cock out from his boxers, running his hand up and down his length while you prepared to wriggle off his lap so you could go down on him. 

“Wat Honey…” He stopped you and tapped his hand against your ass. “Get up on your knees Pretty Girl.” You obliged, raising up and he ran a finger along the seam of your panties covering your cunt, sliding the slick fabric aside. “Did you know the human skeleton has 206 bones, Honey?” 

You watched him mesmerized, his hand sliding up and down slowly on his impressive cock, whimpering with want and need as you felt yourself dripping on his fingers slipping between your folds. “I did… but I could take another.” You squeaked as he teased your clit, ready to start practically begging when he let the tip feed into your entrance. 

“Good cause I plan on giving you another.” Curtis pressed you down onto him. You meant to laugh at this one, but instead it came out as a pleasured gasp, pressing your hands against his chest and grinding on him while adjusting to feeling him so deep inside. 

“Shit…” You hissed out. 

“Take your time, Pretty Girl.” He watched you with half hooded eyes, one hand resting against your waist and the other sliding up and down your folded thigh. “Fuck you are so beautiful just like this.” He praised, keeping still till you told him you were ready. But the way you were rubbing your clit against him and squeezing him, he just hoped you would be ready soon. 

“Mmhh so deep.” You let yourself raise up and back down, finally feeling confident in it. “Okay, I'm ready.” 

Letting Curtis go, he helped you ride him with constant praises, his hold helping you move up and down, rotating your hips which always felt so good your eyes would roll back, feeling every inch of Curtis pressed in you, full of him till you couldn't take anymore you were sure. 

You both sped up, Curtis snapping himself into you while you slammed yourself harder down, once in a while one of you would seek out each others mouths for messy grunting kisses but it all got to be to much and Curtis hugged around you to bury his face into your chest with a curse, both of you rushing for orgasm and it was a slamming pleasure that sucked the air out of your lungs. 

It wasn't till you collapsed against him that Curtis eased the two of you back, lounging in the back seat wrapped around each other comfortably. Your head laid on his chest and at some point Curtis did cover your back with one of your shirts to keep the outside chill slowly seeping into the car from making you cold. Your fingers traced his chest and went to fiddle with the chain. “How long have we been out here you think?” 

Curtis hummed lazily as if he couldn’t be bothered to consider that they were in your backseat in a parking lot. “No clue, you ready to go back inside?” 

“No, not really, I’m pretty comfy.” You said and the conversation went quiet for a moment. 

“Honey, I got one more for you.” Curtis broke the silence and you didn't bother to lift your head, also to comfy in the moment to bother. 

“Give it to me Curtis.” 

“I think I already did.” You glanced up to see the smirk of pride. “Okay, will you let a demigorgon in our bedroom?” 

“No.” You shifted in against him, sighing out a bit happily. “Why would I?” 

“Awww come on Honey, we have done stranger things.” Curtis dropped his punch line. Both of you were silent for half a second till you both broke into laughter. 

[nightingaleif]

Nightingale-IF

genre: YA, drama, romance, mystery, urban fantasy, monsters, private academy

Inspiration: Wednesday, Monsterhearts, Euphoria, Locke and Key

Your family name is known for all the wrong reasons. Still, much shock spreads when you are brought before the authorities. The charge? Attempted manslaughter.

The father you have so reviled for his neglect proves useful. He pulls strings and calls for favours and within a fortnight, the charges are dropped.

But you can't stay at home, where you will forever be seen as the kid who got away with murder. Instead, your father sends you off -whether you want to or not- to the Obsidian Academy, which he also attended at your age.

The Obsidian Academy is grim and dark, as if from a whole other era. The residents of the halls are just as peculiar and secretive. Why does your roommate have scratch marks on their wall? Is it your idea or does the Queen Bee have concerningly sharp fangs? And why does everyone keep calling you a 'nightingale'?

Don't get too comfortable yet. For a dark force roams these halls. More and more bodies wind up dead and who knows who will be next? With your reputation and the disappearances starting just when you arrived, you are at the top of everyone's list...

Nightingale is rated 18+ for inappropriate language, sexual themes, use of substances, depictions of violence. (More will be added to the list of trigger warnings as I add more scenes)

FEATURES

Solve a murder mystery with twists and turns. Supernatural of not, the threat of the serial killer is true and ever present. Everyone is in danger. Everyone is a suspect. Even you.

Delve into the secrets of the Obsidian Academy and its residents. Young adults are a mess. Monsters even more so. You would be wise to watch your step, lest the Lady of the Night sinks her fangs in you. Unless you want that of course.

Discover your past. What is your father hiding from you? What happened to your mother? Why do some teachers look upon you with such recognition in their eyes? And what happened that fateful night when you almost claimed a life?Find out what a nightingale is. What it means for you, your relation to the creatures of the night and your fate.

Romance a variety of characters! From the cheery roommate, who mysteriously disappears every full moon, to the Queen Bee whose fangs scare and thrill you, to your guardian angel with horns and even the guy you almost murdered!

Romantic Options

The Roommate: Mace/Macy Walker (gender selectable)

M has welcomed you with open arms into the Obsidian Academy- and into their room. You are sharing a dorm room and so far they have gone out of their way to make your arrival as comfortable as possible. They seem determined to initiate you into their ever growing circle of friends.

Yet the claw marks on the walls imply there is a wilder side to them.

The Queen Bee: Claudia/Claude Fairmont (gender selectable)

C has not spared you a glance. Then again they seem to barely notice anyone but themself. If anything, they seem to dislike you just a little bit more than most. C waltzes around like they own the place and judging by the way everyone bends over to satisfy their whims, they just might be. They grin often and every time they do, you can't resist the urge to let your eyes wander down to their sharp fangs.

Why do they look at you like they know you?

The One You Almost Killed: Amir/Amara Sharma (gender selectable)

The two of you were close. Or your families were at least. Up until now anyway.

The fateful night itself is a blur, but the next morning is clear. You were behind bars and Amir was in the hospital. Bleeding, torn apart, disfigured by your hands.

You thought you would never see him again. Yet here he is. At the Obsidian Academy. Sharing a desk with you.

You are fucking doomed.

The Bodyguard: Lucian/Lucia Winchester (gender selectable)

Despite your repeated protests, you did not arrive to the Obsidian Academy on your own. Your father sent a bodyguard alongside you to guard your every step. You have known L for years, but it has only recently dawned on you how little you know about them. They remain your distant, silent guardian angel.

Though he may be the opposite of one.

Asks: Open!

Demo: Soon...

Louder as Dr. Daryl Howard, Krishna Smitha as Natasha Graham, Lisa Marie as Dr. Claire Winchester, Kelby Keenan as GenBioSys Tour Guide and Jordan Murphy as Chief Technology Officer Tom Fields.

Our heroes:  Look for moths.

What important things did we learn about: Callen:  In San Diego. Sam:   Setting conscientious objectives. Kensi:  Wants to spend a little more time with Deeks even though they work and live together. Deeks:   Driving Rosa to school while listening to podcasts and introducing her to 70’s rock is the highlight of his day. Fatima:   Tasked with organizing Hetty’s office. Rountree: Doing well with his denim investment, looking at growing his empire to real estate. Kilbride:  Getting Fatima cool DoD access.

What not so important things did we learn about: Callen:  Working on a Russian case. Sam:  Looking at his future. Kensi:    Wanting some romance. Deeks:   Mr. Romance. Fatima:  Not happy Kilbride was messing up Hetty’s office. Rountree:  Obsessed with the future. Kilbride:  Looking for a possible replacement.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange?  Don’t know but she’s planning Sam’s future.

Who's down with OTP:   Kensi and Deeks are trying to navigate being both parents and a couple in love.

Who's down with BrOTP:  Sam and Rountree were more mentor and mentee than pals.

Fashion review:   Sam wears a chocolate brown pullover sweater.  Kensi is jogging in a black zip-up fleece jacket, a red athletic bra and red running tights.  While working, Kensi has on a white and grey striped sweater.  Deeks is jogging in a medium grey longs-sleeve tee and light grey joggers. In the office, Deeks is wearing a medium blue light-weight hoodie over a white undershirt.  Fatima wears a white turtleneck under a short black sweater.  Rountree wears a black jacket over a medium grey sweater.  Kilbride wears his ‘uniform’ – blue three-piece suit, light blue dress shirt, blue tied with red stripes.

Music:   “WOJ” by EverythingOShauN is playing in the lab to start the episode.  “Feels” by Nina-Symone plays as Kensi and Deeks leave the office.

Any notable cut scene:  For the second straight episode!  And there are two!

Number one has Sam and Rountree entering the lab building.  Rountree is still discussing real estate – thinking of buying a multi-unit home.  He’d live in one unit, Jordyn would live in another and he would rent out the third unit to cover expenses.  Sam gives Rountree a non-committal “not a bad idea”.  When Rountree says interest rates are high, Sam agrees but with little spirit.

Number two is after the kidnapping with Dr. Winchester is in the back of an ambulance getting some oxygen.  She asks about Dr. Howard, who is in ICU but is expected to live.  Dr. Winchester tells Sam that Dr. Howard’s work will save the world.  Sam things the world needs all the help it can get.  When the ambulance drives away, Sam sees Rountree looking at a lovely home.  Sam teases Rountree about having it all planned – nice house, a dog.  Rountree likes the idea of a dog.  Sam tells Rountree that things work out when a plan comes to fruition.   Rountree is waiting for a “jewel of wisdom” from Sam.   Sam tells Rountree to “pivot” – be prepared to pivot.  Rountree will thank Sam in ten years, according to Sam. 

That “pivot” scene should have stayed – it works beautifully with Sam’s conversation with Kilbride at the end of the episode.

Quote:  Kilbride:  “Henrietta evidently knew this office needed me and probably thought I needed it, too.  Now, you don't open that envelope till you're sure you want to take this job.” Sam:  “You know, in the past I would have given you a flat-out no.  But my life has evolved into something that I barely even recognize.  I think it's time for me to reevaluate where I want to go, how I want to get there.” Kilbride:  “You mean setting goals.” Sam:  “Ah, I wouldn't call it that.  More like conscientious objectives.” Kilbride:  “Tomato, to-mah-to.  But let me know what you decide as soon as you can.  I want to be able to leave at a moment's notice and somebody has to do this godforsaken job.” Sam:  “Well, you make it sound so fun, Admiral.”

Anything else:  In a lab, a scientist is examining an insect under a microscope.  “WOJ” by EverythingOShauN is playing and the doctor is signing/rapping along.  His phone beeps.  Putting away his bug by covering the petri dish, the scientist picks up his things to leave, forgetting his car keys.  Walking to the lab’s door, he passes a wall of small caged creatures – bugs, reptiles, animals.  The scientist speaks to his charges before singing his way out of the office.  He turns off the lights and is gone.

As soon as the scientist leaves, a person wearing black and a ski mask enters the lab through a side door. 

The scientist gets about halfway down the hall when he realizes he doesn’t have his keys.  Returning to the lab, he sees the masked person and confronts the intruder.  The two struggle, knocking over some petri dishes, including the one with the insect the scientist was studying.  After the scientist is knocked to the ground, the intruder pulls out a knife and stabs the scientist several times. 

Kensi and Deeks are out for a run.  Rosa is going to be carpooling to school with a classmate’s mother driving them on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Deeks wants a full investigation into the mom, making sure her driving record is clean.  For Kensi, carpooling would give Kensi and Deeks a chance to have a little time for themselves in the morning – they could go jogging.  Deeks is not happy – he loves listening to podcasts with Rosa as they go to school, introducing Rosa to 70’s rock songs is the highlight of his day.  Deeks will have that on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but Tuesdays and Thursdays, Rosa would carpool.  Deeks thinks Tuesdays and Thursday will suck until Kensi points out that he saying spending time with her would suck.  

Deeks explains that they already spend a lot of time together – they both live together and work together like superheroes.  Kensi doesn’t think they are superheroes.  Kensi wants some romance.  Deeks doesn’t – who needs romance when you’re married.  Kensi is offended.  Digging a hole, Deeks explains that romance is based on lies – wearing clothes you’d never wear, wearing perfume that masks a person’s true smell and well, bouquets of flowers are just dead flowers that were murdered for romance.   Kensi is sad – she’s not going through life on autopilot, going through the motions.  Deeks comes around – they could go to a taco truck they like, maybe a wine bar and a movie.  Kensi calls it a date and Deeks doesn’t.

In the office driveway, Sam is talking to his father about dinner – Korean barbeque and Japanese food.  Raymond doesn’t see much of a difference.   Sam cuts the call short when the Admiral walks up.  Sam actually invites the Admiral to join him and Raymond at Benihana – the Admiral will think about it.  He has other business with Sam.  Callen is working with the San Diego office in a Russian smuggling case.  Sam saw the memo about Callen working in San Diego.  The Admiral is worried – Callen is taking on a lot with the case, the wedding, Pembrook, the whole Katya business.  Callen as a lot of plates spinning in the air.  Sam is sure Callen can take of all that’s on his plate. 

The Admiral’s concern is less about what’s going on now but what will be going on when the Admiral is unavailable to lead.  Kilbride wants Sam as the acting supervisor of OSP.  Sam wants no part of that - he’s a field agent.  Kilbride is worried that some outsider may take over the office – “some blue-flame outsider” – and Callen would have a hard time with that.  Sam as the leader would work better for Callen.  Sam is now unsure so the Admiral gives him some time to figure out what’s best for the team.  Sam sighs – he knows the Admiral did that on purpose.

In the firing range, Fatima and Rountree are shooting.  Both did quite well looking based on the paper targets.  Rountree asks Fatima how often she thinks about the future.  She tries to stay present.  Rountree is the opposite – he’s is obsessed.  Fatima mentions doomsday prepping and Rountree already has his “end of the world kit”.  He is visualizing his future.  Fatima is a fan of visualization boards but that’s not Rountree’s style.  He wants to have a ten-year plan, especially since the denim brand he invested in is beginning to show a profit.  If there is a year’s worth of profit, he’d buy a home in Los Angeles and look for new investments – a good investment that could change the world.  Fatima asks if a special someone changed Rountree’s future plans.  A call to Ops saves Rountree from answering.

In Ops, Fatima tells Sam and Rountree about the scientist, a retired Navy reservist Commander Dr. Darryl Howard of Whitley University. Dr. Howard is a tenured professor of entomology at Whitley specializing in pesticides.  He is alive, barely, in a coma at Cedars.  LAPD is at the lab investigating what, if anything, has been stolen.  Dr. Howard works for the Navy’s office of special research so the Admiral is looking into what Howard was doing for them.  The bigger concern was a similar attack last year at Glenforest University.  Gallons of pesticides were stolen and used in a bombing attack at a local city council office.  Six people were hurt in the bombing.  An extreme anti-government movement – the Patriot Mission Society – is believed to be behind the attack. 

Video cameras outside of the Whitley lab show a figure walking out with a duffle bag.  Sam doesn’t think the duffel bag would not carry the gallons of pesticides needed to cause a substantial explosion.  Fatima disagrees – Dr. Howard had access to chemicals – severely restricted use chemicals - that a normal person could not get at a home improvement store.  Some of these chemical as so powerful that it wouldn’t take much to cause a lot of damage.  Asking about Dr. Howard’s family, he has an ex, Layla Lewis.  Castor is going to pick her up and bring her to the boat shed.  Sam wants Kensi and Deeks to interview Lewis.  While Sam and Rountree go to the crime scene, Fatima is going to investigate the Patriot Mission Society to see if they are planning another bombing.

The lab is a mess – so much so that Sam says “wow” when he sees it.  The hard drive from Dr. Howard’s computer is missing.  While everything has been ransacked, the animals/reptiles/bugs in their cages are untouched but one cage is missing.  Sam thinks maybe the whole crime scene was set up to cover up the theft of the cage and its contents.  They need to speak to someone who knows about the lab.

Castor introduces Leyla Lewis to Kensi and Deeks in the boat shed.  Moving her to the couch, Kensi asks about Lewis’s relationship with Dr. Howard.  They were a couple for about 20-years but Dr. Howard only cares about his work.  They’ve been separated for five years.  She calls him a lovely man, a genius but he wants to change the world with his insects.  When Deeks asks how, Lewis explains that people need to understand what is happening to the earth, insects and animals with certain chemicals being used.  Dr. Howard is driven by the science and learning, not money.  Lewis admires him – just can’t live with him.  It’s hard when all the person you love wants to talk about is work.  Kensi couldn’t agree more. 

Lewis is so sorry about what happened to Dr. Howard but it all makes sense now.  Dr. Howard said he thought people were hacking his e-mail, hacking his phone, making threats against him.  Lewis thought he needed to see someone over his paranoia, especially when Dr. Howard started cancelling some of his speaking engagements.  At a speech, he thought someone in the audience was following him from lecture to lecture.  Lewis is crushed – she didn’t believe him.  And Dr. Howard certainly didn’t deserve this, he’s a kind soul.

At the lab, Sam has Dr. Howard’s assistant, a young grad student named Arjun Sethi, reviewing the checklist of Dr. Howard’s lab creatures.  Rountree asks who would steal the hard drive but Sethi has no idea.  There should be four moth cages but one seems to be missing.  When Sam isn’t happy with the Sethi’s surprise, Sethi explains he’s been out of town for two weeks.  Maybe the moths were moved.  Reviewing the pesticides, some are missing.  Why would someone steal the moths, hard drive and pesticides?  Dr. Howard is studying the negative effects pesticides have on soil, insects, reptiles and humans.  His research, which was disseminated widely, may lead to enemies in the big agriculture pesticide business.  Sam wants a list of all the pesticides Dr. Howard was researching so they can crosscheck them with the ones missing. 

Watching Kilbride go through the drawers in Hetty’s office, Fatima offers to help since she organized the place for Hetty.  The Admiral is not interested.  Fatima asks if she could ask what he’s looking for.  She could, according to the Admiral but that won’t guarantee a response.  He wants to know about the Patriot Mission Society.  Five are in prison, one died and the seventh member is in ICU after a bar fight.  Kilbride wants Fatima to check other local terrorist organizations as he continues to look through Hetty’s file cabinets.  Fatima tries again to help but Kilbride slams a file drawer closed to chase her away. 

In the boat shed, Kensi has info about Dr. Howard’s security at the five conferences where he spoke this year.  All five had incident reports with the last having a heckler removed from this audience.  The heckler, a woman in her 30’s, had no ID.  She was released without providing a name to security.  Deeks gets Fatima on the plasma screen looking for the heckler at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach. 

After Fatima is off the screen, Deeks recalls he and Kensi saw The Queen Experience at the venue.  They had fun.  Deeks agrees but now they have couples fun, married fun like Costco for the little samples, family dinners, carpools – family fun.  Kensi asks if Deeks remembered what Layla Lewis said - Deeks remembers the bugs and saving the world.  No, Kensi said it was easy to lose touch with each other dealing with the daily grind.  Deeks tells Kensi that she is the most important person to him in the world.  But the two of them only have 377 left.  Kensi is confused – 377 what?  377 days until Rosa graduates high school and goes into the world as an adult.  It flies by.  Kensi loves that Deeks loves being a family man.  But she doesn’t want to lose touch with the two of them “being us.”  Deeks understands.

Sam and Rountree meet Sethi in the lab’s hallway as it looks like Sethi is leaving.  Sethi provided a list of pesticides Dr. Howard was working on along with Dr. Howard’s ranking of the pesticides for their strength and damage they cause.  Based on the way the intruder left the building, it has to be someone familiar with the lab.  Security provided a list of all the ID holders in the building but Sam wonders if there is another way to get into the lab.  Visitors can sign in at the front desk.  Sethi is free to go.

Sam and Rountree figure that it is possible the moths and pesticides may have been stolen by someone who doesn’t want Dr. Howard to go public with what happens with the pesticides.  Fatima comes over comms.  While Dr. Howard was studying nine different pesticides, there were two that he was particularly critical of – matrazine and nitrithazine.  They are highly toxic to the point that they change the cell structure of lizards.  And if these chemicals can change cell structures of lizards, they might to the same to humans.  Allurum Tech and GenBioSys make the two chemicals.  When Dr. Howard went public with his research three-months ago, both companies took significant financial hits.  That may be motive.

In the Admiral’s office, he is putting something into a 5X8 envelope.  Fatima arrives with news of the woman causing a scene at Dr. Howard’s speeches.  Natasha Graham is a public relations manager for GenBioSys.  Fatima has a video of Graham but warns the Admiral that it was made by a college student and has a made by college student feel.  The video is of Graham being dragged out of the lecture with all sorts of special effects, video looping and music.  “People have entirely too much time on their hands,” Kilbride grouses.  GenBioSys has been trying to discredit Dr. Howard and his research.  That has the Admiral wondering how far the company would go to protect the product.  Kensi and Deeks are going to the company to find out.

In a greenhouse, a woman is leading a tour featuring the good GenBioSys does with their pesticides.  Kensi and Deeks join the tour late, posing as tourists from San Luis Obispo.  He snarks about her complaints that they never go anywhere.  They are being shown the way GenBioSys grows lettuce.  While the group looks at the lettuce, the tour guide asks Kensi and Deeks “Strawberries or wine?”  Deeks thinks the lettuce is plenty.  She wanted to know what they grew, strawberries or wine.  Maybe garlic.  They are wine growers – the Smithingtons.  They have Smithington Wineries.  The tour guide asks some specific wine questions and Kensi and Deeks provide different answers.  The tour guide dreams of owning a vineyard and Deeks agrees – it is so romantic. 

Kensi spies Natasha Graham and while Deeks looks like a bunny with lettuce, they walk over to talk to Graham.  Kensi confirms it is Natasha Graham while Deeks asks for kale that doesn’t taste like kale.  Oh, can I get some of that?  Kale ruins everything.  Back to the show, Kensi asks about Dr. Howard.  Kensi flashes her badge, Deeks flashes the video of Graham being dragged from the lecture.

At the lab’s front desk, Sam tells Rountree that if someone signed in with bad intentions, they’d use a fake name (isn’t that Day One lessons at FBI school?  Pay attention Tess).  Dr. Howard had one guest sign in but over five nights in a row – Dr. Claire Winchester from Braddock University.  That would be too risky for Natasha Graham to be going in five nights in a row.  Rountree asks Fatima to check out Dr. Winchester.  Maybe she knew what trouble he was in.

Natasha Graham denies she is the woman in the video.  Kensi accuses Graham and GenBioSys of going after Dr. Howard by breaking into the lab, stabbing him and stealing his research.  Graham is stunned.  She only went to one of his talks and only spoke to him once, the day before the attack.  The pesticide that GenBioSys is very important to her, to the company.  Kensi asks if Graham knew Dr. Howard – she didn’t.  Dr. Howard was hired by GenBioSys to study the pesticide before its release.  When he panned the product, the company went to smear him and release the product anyway. 

Matrazine was Graham’s first big product launch.  And the company believes it is safe.  So did Dr. Howard at first.  But Graham was tipped off that Dr. Howard was also working for a competitor.  When he was confronted about working for a competitor, Dr. Howard thought matrazine “would poison the Midwest and babies would grow two heads.”  While she tried to discredit Dr. Howard, she wouldn’t hurt him.  Asked for an alibi, Graham was on a terrible Tinder date at Del Frisco’s (I love Del Frisco’s – pay attention Tess).  The waiter Rodney saved her from a terrible date.  Graham returns to work.

Walking in a residential neighborhood, Rountree picks up a flyer for a house for sale.  The neighborhood is great and close to the office.  Sam notes the homes in the area go for $1-million to start.   Rountree may be looking for a home closer to Texas.  Walking onto Dr. Winchester’s property, Sam mentions her office said she was working from home and there are cars in the driveway.  Her front door, however, is ajar. 

Calling into the house, Sam and Rountree go in with their weapons drawn.  A man shoves Rountree through Dr. Winchester’s dining room table.  The man runs out a back door with a laptop.  Dr. Winchester is being shoved into the back of an SUV in an alleyway behind the house.  Shots are exchanged with Sam hitting the man who pushed Rountree through the table.  The injured man tries to make his way to the SUV but the vehicle races out of the alleyway.  He keeps running until he hits the streets, when a vehicle runs over the injured man.

As the coroner’s office takes away the dead guy, Sam tells Rountree that Fatima has a BOLO out on the SUV and Kaleidoscope is looking for the vehicle.  None of the neighbors have security cameras that face the alleyway.  With Dr. Winchester spending so much time with Dr. Howard, Sam knows something is up with the three armed men who were sent to kidnap her.  Rountree thinks it is because she and Dr. Howard were working together.  Sam disagrees – Dr. Howard didn’t have what they want so they’re trying to get it with Dr. Winchester.  Sam is going to search the house, Rountree is going to check with the neighbors.

In Ops, Fatima tells Kilbride that she hasn’t been able to track the SUV.  The Admiral has his own bad news.  Telling Fatima to pull up the DoD database, something she never had access to until the Admiral got her, there is a file on Dr. Claire Winchester.  She is a DoD civilian contractor.  Her work at Braddock University is a DoD project and it is in conjunction with Dr. Howard’s work.  The DoD is sending a technical specialist to the boat shed to work with Kensi and Deeks.

Fatima’s tablet beeps – the dead man has been ID’d.  He’s Zhang Chin, a Chinese citizen and a legal U.S. resident.  The Admiral notes that is an odd mix.  Chin has an old student visa – he attended Whitley University but never graduated.  Checking who sponsored the visa, it is New Origin Talent, a Chinese recruitment agency.  The Admiral is familiar with New Origin Talent – they help China steal intellectual property and work in espionage.  Dr. Howard and now Dr. Winchester must have been targets for whatever they were working on.  Kilbride wants an address from Chin – maybe they can trace where the kidnappers took Dr. Winchester.

At the house, Sam is looking around when Rountree returns.  Neither found anything that will help rescue Dr. Winchester.  One neighbor saw a vehicle with dark tinted windows parked on the street for a few days.  Sam thinks by grabbing Dr. Winchester and the laptop, the kidnappers got what they came for.  Sam sees an Apple Watch charger – Fatima can ping the watch’s location.  He’s worried that once the kidnappers get what they need from Dr. Winchester, they may kill her.

Once again, Castor brings Kensi and Deeks a visitor, this time DoD Chief Technology Officer Tom Fields.  While Dr. Winchester’s kidnapping is troubling, Fields is really worried about the theft of the moths.  The moths are more important.   Funded by the DoD, Drs. Howard and Winchester were working to create moths that would take out agricultural pests.  The moths carried viruses that would end the need for pesticides.  A good thing, according to Deeks.  It is a good thing, Fields explains until “malicious actors” use the moths to spread viruses that could kill crops – devastating harvests.  Dr. Winchester was kidnapped to recreate more moths.

Fields explains that insects are hard to control.  Once released, they’ll reproduce.  If the moths carry a virus that would damage harvests, half the food supply for the US could be gone in six months.  Asked how the Chinese government would even know about the moths, Fields doesn’t know.  Dr. Howard’s lab had top security clearance with his lab assistant managing projects, materials and data.  Deeks points out that the assistant didn’t know what the moths were for when questioned.  Impossible, according to Fields.  Dr. Howard worked closely with his assistant, “he trusts Arjun.” 

As the Admiral arrives in Ops, Fatima is going through Arjun Sethi’s e-mails.  Nothing really jumps out.  Getting everyone on comms or the phone, Kensi thinks that if Dr. Howard was as paranoid as he ex believed, maybe he never told Sethi about the moths.  Sam and Rountree disagree – Sethi was supposed to know the lab inside and out.  Even if he didn’t know exactly what the moths were being used for, he’d know that it was a classified DoD project. 

A beep on Fatima’s tablet signifies that Sethi’s bank records are in.  Not much money in the account but there was a crypto transfer of $5,000.  Looking at the crypto account, there is $30,000, mostly coming from a company called Flow Genis.  Fatima sees that Dr. Howard had a special company for his speaking engagements, maybe Sethi has a similar set-up.  Checking, Flow Genis has been getting money from New Origin Talent.  Sam and Rountree are sent to find Sethi.

Racing out of the lab, Sethi is taking a back staircase, panting as he runs down the stairs.  Sam is on the landing below Sethi, Rountree on the landing above.  He’s caught.

In interrogation, Sam explains to Sethi that they know he lied to NCIS about the pesticides and the missing moths.  He can help himself by helping them find Dr. Winchester.  Sethi has no idea where she is.  “This was not part of the plan.”  Rountree wants to know what is the plan.  Sethi was paid to give “first looks” at Dr. Howard’s research.  Explaining that Dr. Howard wouldn’t cooperate after Sethi tried to recruit him, Sethi tried to sell New Origin Talent offering a big grant to the lab.  When Sam suggests Sethi set Dr. Howard up, Sethi assures them he did not.  Sethi was sure he could convince Dr. Howard there was no harm in taking the money. 

Sam tells Sethi he is in violation of the Patriot Act and his actions could be seen as treason.  Asking one more time, Sam wants to know where Dr. Winchester is.  Sethi knows about a lab in Shanghai.  She could be on her way there.

Outside of interrogation, Sam and Rountree go the new boat shed armory.  Fatima has intermittent tracking data from Dr. Winchester’s watch.  It is near one of three airports on the Westside.  She sees that New Origins Talent has a private jet at Santa Monica Airport – the watch beeps leaving the 10.  Kensi and Deeks join Sam and Rountree.

With the SUV showing up on Kaleidoscope, Fatima tries to guide the Sam/Rountree and Kensi/Deeks to Dr. Winchester.  Sam and Rountree cut them off but they are able to go in reverse to try to leave a street.  Afraid to fire into the SUV and hit Dr. Winchester, Sam asks Fatima if she can switch off the SUV’s engine through vehicle security services.  

Kensi and Deeks are able to cut off the SUV before it leaves the street.  As the SUV barrels toward Sam and Rountree, Fatima is able to get the engine cut.   Sam and Rountree get the bad guys out of the front of the SUV, Kensi rescues Dr. Winchester in the back of the SUV.  Deeks finds the moths. 

Returning to the office, Kensi finds a lovely floral arrangement on her desk.  “You murdered flowers just for me,” she says to Deeks.  Deeks said the flowers were already dead – no blood on his hands.  Calling himself Mr. Romance, Deeks asks Kensi out on a date.  Pulling something out of his back right pocket, there is a grade school way to ask if Kensi would be his girlfriend.  In his back left pocket is tickets to see Gregory Alan Isakov at the Terrace Theater.  Kensi is thrilled.  Knowing they have so much on their plate, Deeks doesn’t want to lose what got them to where they are now.  Though Deeks wouldn’t mind seeing Kensi in her torn up Levi’s – “a big part of our thing.”  That’s why she wore them on every single date.  Deeks thinks it feels like 10-years ago, he doesn’t want to lose their spark, lose “us” or lose Kensi.  Kensi thinks Deeks could see a whole lot more of her.  Deeks is going to call his mother to stay with Rosa – he and Kensi are going to have a standing date night.  The two leave.

Kilbride finds Sam as he’s leaving. Dr. Winchester is out of the hospital.  She’s banged up but OK.  The DoD is happy with NCIS’s work and the moths are accounted for.   Sam says in all his years as an agent, moth recovery was a first.  Kilbride admits that what he loves about working with NCIS is that he does something new almost every day.  Sam starts to talk about Kilbride’s job offer.  Before he can say much, Kilbride hands Sam the envelope he was working on earlier.  It was what he was given when he took over the job.  He thought Hetty sent it but couldn’t prove it.  Kilbride wasn’t thrilled with the idea of working with “a bunch of misfits” but Hetty knew the office needed him and that he needed the office.  Handing Sam the envelope, Kilbride doesn’t want Sam to open it until he’s sure he is going to take the job.  Admitting that in the past he’d have been an automatic no, Sam admits his life has changed “into something that I barely even recognize.”  He’s reevaluating – setting “conscientious objectives”.  Sam will give the Admiral an answer soon.  Kilbride wants one in case he has to “leave this godforsaken job” for some reason.  Besides, the Admiral tells Sam, “it is never too late to explore other pathways.”  He learned that from his son, proving “you can teach old dogs new tricks.”

Sam gets into his car and starts to open the envelope.  Thinking better of it, he says “You haven’t gotten me yet, Hetty.”

What head canon can be formed from here:   According to the internet, “Sensu Lato” means "In the broad sense".

This was an incredibly talky episode.  The basics were interesting but my attention kept floating away and that’s not usually a problem I have.

Callen’s absence was one of the best explained ones in a while.  Of course the San Diego office would want Callen for a Russian arms dealer case.

If Dr. Howard thought someone was after him, wouldn’t he be more careful about his exit from the lab.  He’s there late, it is dark, he leaves without his keys or anyone from campus security.  Back when I was in college, if a student didn’t feel safe leaving, security would walk them to their car or to the bus stop.  A fancy entomologist would get security if he asked, military background or not.

Sam’s future was interesting.  I think his lack of interest in Rountree’s real estate dreams in the cut scene was Sam weighing being a field agent with someone young like Rountree and maybe being the Rountree’s boss down the road.

The Kensi and Deeks scenes were great.  While I think Kensi is 100% right, it is admirable how much Deeks wants to be a great father – especially considering his past.

An average episode – the guts of the episode could have worked in any season – with a lot of talking.

Episode number:   This is episode 18 of season 14, the 320th episode of 323.  Winding down here.

Les Miserables (2012) - Behind the scenes.

🎥 Video posted by Cinema Scope on YouTube

Les Misérables is a 2012 epic period musical film directed by Tom Hooper from a screenplay by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, and Herbert Kretzmer, based on the stage musical of the same name by Schönberg, Boublil, and Jean-Marc Natel, which in turn is based on the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. The film stars an ensemble cast led by Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Set in France during the early nineteenth century, the film tells the story of Jean Valjean who, while being hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. The story reaches a resolution against the background of the June Rebellion of 1832.

Following the release of the stage musical, a film adaptation was mired in development hell for over ten years, as the rights were passed on to several major studios, and various directors and actors were considered. In 2011, producer Cameron Mackintosh sold the film rights to Eric Fellner, who financed the film with Tim Bevan through their production company Working Title Films. In June 2011, production of the film officially began, with Hooper hired as director. The main characters were cast later that year. Principal photography began in March 2012 and ended in June. Filming took place on locations in Greenwich, London, Chatham, Winchester, Bath, and Portsmouth, England; in Gourdon, France; and on soundstages in Pinewood Studios.

Les Misérables premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 5 December 2012 and was released on 25 December in the United States and on 11 January 2013 in the United Kingdom, by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising the direction, production values, musical numbers, and ensemble cast, with Jackman, Hathaway, Redmayne, Seyfried, Aaron Tveit, and Samantha Barks being the most often singled out for praise. However, Crowe's performance as Javert and singing were met with criticism. It grossed over $442 million worldwide against a production budget of $61 million. The film was nominated for eight categories at the 85th Academy Awards, winning three, and received numerous other accolades. Since its release, it has been considered by many to be one of the most famous adaptations of the novel and one of the best musical films of the 2010s and the 21st century.
