This NCIS: Los Angeles Fanfic takes place after 4x24 Descent . This is my first Fanfic so please to tell me what you think =)
'Michelle!' Kensi yelled at the top of her lungs. Even after running up 30 flights of stairs, she was able to maintain her composure and balance, which was essential for all agents in these kinds of moments. All that training, the endless workouts had actually paid off.
'Michelle!' Kensi yelled again. She looked around trying desperately to find Sam's wife. She wouldn't forgive herself if Michelle had died on her watch. She needed to get back to her family, to Sam, and Kensi was going to make sure she would.
'Kensi! I'm here. Kensi!' , Michelle yelled out as she was dangling down the side of the building . She had been in the same position for a few minutes now and her arms were starting to ache and her hands were beginning to get wet with sweat.
Kensi's heart immediately dropped when she heard the scream and located it to the right side, where the boards were broken. She ran over so the opening and laid down on her stomach to get a look at Michelle. As soon as she saw her, adrenaline rushed through her body, muscles strengthened, she laid down her gun beside herself and focused entirely on getting Sam's wife, her teammate's wife to safety. It was difficult to pull all that weight up while reassuring and calming down Michelle at the same time. Kensi managed to pull her up to the ledge and helped her up to her feet. Her arms were aching now. Kensi pulled out her back-up revolver out of the ankle holster on her right ankle and handed it over to Michelle. She picked up her gun, her hands were trembling and she had trouble keeping it steady. The exertion had taken a toll on her body. Kensi couldn't have that. Not now. She needed to protect Michelle, get her back to Sam and the kids. That was her assignment and she wasn't going to let herself screw it up. She breathed in a deep breath and tightened her grip on the gun.
'Lets get going' Kensi let out a sigh of relief after looking at Michelle and making sure that everything was okay.
They were making their way to the elevator when there were gunshots. Both of Sidorov's agents were still alive. It dawned on Kensi that she was so set on saving Michelle that she had completely forgotten about them. Kensi and Michelle split up and both covered themselves from gunshots behind parallel pillars. Kensi saw the fear in Michelle's eyes, the tremble in her hand. This all must've been a lot to digest. She hadn't been undercover for so long, she had lost her touch. Kensi stood up behind the pillar. She signaled Michelle to cover her. Peeked through the side of the pillar and spotted one of the agents. She shot her in the neck in cold hard blood. Kensi went over to her body and pushed the gun away while Michelle covered her from the initial location. Kensi changed the magazine of her gun and held it at the ready. Maya, as Kensi had heard one of the names of the agents on her earwig, bolted towards the door. She was a Russian agent. She was taught to be stealthy, to be cunning and to be fast. This went against her training. But maybe that's what stress does to you. You're never fully ready until you actually face the situation. Maya held up her gun and began shooting what seemed like an endless number of rounds. 'We need her alive Miss Blye' Kensi heard Hetty's stern voice on the earwig. She had gotten her orders. She needed Maya alive. I one clean shot, Kensi hit Maya on the shoulder. Michelle ran over and tied her with the zip tie as she screamed in pain.
'You okay Kensi?' Michelle said without looking up from the suspect.
'Yeah I'm fine. We need to get her out of here, to the boat shed.' Kensi said. She was still a good distance from Michelle. Her voice was now shaky, filled with pain, with fear. A voice Michelle had heard so many times before during her time in the CIA. She immediately knew something was wrong. A look of worry brushed her face. She looked up and saw Kensi standing a few meters away. Michelle examined her body, inch by inch to make sure she was okay. Her hand was on her stomach. Michelle was almost convinced that she had been mistaken until she a blood between the fingers of the hand Kensi had pressed up against her stomach. Michelle ran over to her. Sat her down against one of the pillars they had been using as cover in the gunfight. She looked at Kensi's face. It was pale white. Her eyes were drained. Michelle pulled her hand apart and examined the damage. She'd been shot just below the bullet proof vest. Her clothes were now soaking with blood.
'Michelle?' Kensi said in a light voice, trying to get her attention. Michelle stared at the wound.
'Michelle!' Kensi yelled now. Michelle looked up. 'You need to go. You need to go, now! Take Maya and get her to the boatshed.'
'Okay. Come on then. We need to get going' she said as she squeezed Kensi's arms trying to get her to stand up.
Kensi winced at the pain. 'No. I'll just be a burden. I'll slow you down. I'll be fine. You need to get her to the boat shed for interrogation as fast as possible. GO!'
'I'm not leaving you behind. You're coming with me.' Michelle said in a stern voice.
'Miss Blye, Mrs. Hanna'. We have reason to believe that Mr. Hanna and Mr. Deeks have been made. The last we heard of him was when he was thrown into the pool. Mr. Deeks ran in after him.' Hetty's voice appeared in the com.
For a moment there was complete silence. The whistle of the wind and the tussling of the plastic sheets was the only sound around the two females. Kensi's heart sank. Deeks. She thought. No.
She knew what Michelle was feeling was a lot worse than her. She needed to be strong. She needed to snap Michelle back to her senses. For Sam and Deeks' sake.
'Michelle. They've got Sam. You need to go. Get Maya to the boat shed. We need to find out where they're keeping Sam and Deeks.' Kensi said breaking the silence. 'Look at me, Michelle. You need to go. For Sam and for Deeks. You need to go, NOW!'
Michelle nodded obediently. She knew what she needed to do. She squeezed Kensi's arm as a sign of reassurance that everything was going to be okay. She walked over to Maya, grabbed her up and headed for the elevator. As the doors closed, Kensi and Michelle's eyes met. Michelle lipped out the words 'I'm sorry'. Kensi gave her a reassuring smile.
There it was again. The deafening silence Kensi had always dreaded. The pain and the sting of the shot had disappeared. And in that moment all Kensi could think about was her partner. She felt an array of emotions she had never felt before. Deeks, the one constant companion with her for the last few years. The one thing she felt was now hers forever, was taken. She might never see him again. Tears filled her eyes as she pictured her partner's smile. She needed him back. He had to keep his promise and stay alive. She drifted into sleep with Deeks on her mind.
