"I'm sorry, you want to fire my gun?"
"Your acting weird"
"I just don't like people firing my gun"
"Okay, let me just hold it then?"
"I don't like people holding my gun"
"You can fire mine?"
"I don't want to fire your gun, I don't want anything to do with your gun, and it's not personal"
"Feels personal"
"It-It's just a guy thing"
"A guy thing?"
"A g-g, a gun thing, it's a gun thing"
"Funny, you said a guy thing," she smirked, walking out of the shooting room after she laid her target in front of him.
"Oh, buddy," he sighed, scanning down the target in front of him, "Hell Hath No Fury, like Kensi Marie Blye. The groin? Really? Why does one practise shooting someone in the groin?"
...
Yes, they were partners. And, yes, they didn't know the difference between work and personal life, that was, when it came to their relationship, as had Kensi called it. Had she meant to call it that, no she hadn't, but that was just a mistaken slip up, one that their team had taken seriously. So had the betting pool that went around the office, debating when the two would finally get together.
...
"You don't trust me, I'd say that's a pretty big deal, wouldn't you?"
"I just have a thing about my gun!"
"At this point in a relationship, after all the stuff that we've done-"
"Sh-sh-sh-sh"
"What?"
"I'm sorry, did you just say relationship?"
"No," she quickly corrected herself, "I said partnership, okay? You're very annoying!"
"Maybe I just need a little bit of space,"
"You're on my desk"
"Shh," he hushed her.
"Listen here, both of you," Sam Hanna interrupted the two, "you don't trust each other, all the fist-bumping and saying you got each other's back doesn't mean squat, unless there's trust. So built it soon, or risk the consequences. Got it?"
...
The chance that Kensi Blye would ever slip up and mention a relationship?
Twenty Dollars to Nell Jones.
The mistake being interrupted by Sam Hanna?
Twenty Dollars to G Callen.
...
"Sounds good," Deeks nodded.
"I was talking to agent Blye," the man replied with a smile, before leaving the boat house. Kensi shut the door behind him and turned to face her partner who had a smirk plastered on his face.
"What?"
"Just slip 'James Bond' your number there?"
"For case purposes only"
"How long did it take for Callen and Sam to trust each other?" the LAPD detective asked Henrietta Lange from over his shoulder.
"Uh, New Years Day 2007" the woman replied.
"What happened?" Kensi questioned.
"Oh, uh, they'd only been partners for a month..."
...
The chance that Henrietta Lange would intervene with their partnership and tell them a story about G Callen and Sam Hanna's problems with trusting each other?
Twenty Dollars to Eric Beal.
The chance that it involved her saying that G Callen was made to kill Sam Hanna?
Twenty Dollars to G Callen.
The chance that G Callen 'supposedly' knew they gun wasn't loaded because of its weight?
Twenty Dollars to Sam Hanna.
...
"What's that on your fingers?" she asked him as he got back into the car.
"Uh, it's nothing," he hesitated, "I carry a Barretta 82-FS because the manual safety saved my ass one time during a snatch attempt by a junkie. And if the magazine, ever jams, I can just pop a bullet straight into the chamber." He pulled the gun out of its holster and held it out to her, "take a look?"
She shook her head, "Maybe some other time"
...
The chance that they could trust each other?
Twenty Dollars to Nell Jones
The chance that Kensi Blye was on the verge of tears with his offer?
Twenty Dollars to G Callen.
...
"Is he staring at us?" G Callen looked at his partner then back to Deeks.
"No I just, uh, I just wanted to say is uh, I heard about the whole 2007 New Years Day. Yeah when the Armenian Mob when they dragged, uh, it's actually, much better in my head, but really. Let me finish, uh, I have a lot of admiration for the trust that you two have. Uh, that's it?" Deeks let out a chuckle, "Okay, goodnight" the LAPD detective walked past the two as they both shared a look.
"What the hell is he talking about?" G Callen said, watching after the detective.
...
The chance that Henrietta Lange was lying to the partners?
Twenty Dollars to Henrietta Lange...
