Just a short little story of what I think and hope to see in the first episode of season 10!
I have no idea how they're going to get out of this situation. It's very dangerous! And from the tv insider post it looks like Spenser Williams and all those guys are there so I can't wait to see how everything will work out. As more spoilers have been coming in, my story has already been discredited. I think they're all going to be unconscious at the beginning and the bad guys are going to pull them out but I'd already written a scene I wanted to keep in my story so that'll be different.
Sorry its a little choppy. Not sure how I feel about it but I wanted to get it out! This is coming at the last minute cause we only have 1 week left but hopefully the whole story will be posted by then! Also sorry if the Spanish is incorrect!

Smoke hit her lungs and she started to cough. There were sounds but not sounds she recognized. It was a buzzing in her ears. It was very hot and there was no air. When she opened her eyes, her vision was blurred. She didn't feel right and couldn't seem to focus but what she did see in front of her was smoke and fire. It was then that she felt something on her shoulder.
"Kensi!" Callen said tapping her shoulder from behind. "We have to get out of here."
The buzzing in her ear continued and that's when she looked down. Down, because the car was on its side she thought. Her partner, her fiancé, her everything and he wasn't awake.
She reached out to him and saw the burns on her hand. "Deeks..." She said weakly which started her coughing again. Before she could register what was happening, she was being pulled away.
"Just grab onto my shoulders, come on. You're okay, I got you." Callen helped lift her up and out of the truck while she was still in the middle of a coughing fit. He helped her lower herself to a seated position on the ground. "Kens? You good?"
"Dee… Deeks." She choked out still unable to catch her breath while coughing.
"I'm going to get him right now. Sit tight." Her ears were ringing so she tried to read his lips but it was proving hard with her head pounding.
She watched as he went back to the burning truck. Wanting to help, she slowly pushed herself up to a standing position and stumbled forward.
"Kensi!" Sam shouted but he got no reaction.
She wobbled back and forth until she fell down. Her legs were weak and just gave in. That was when she felt something move down her face. Feeling it, she looked at her hands and saw the blood. This was not how this day was supposed to go.
Moments later she saw Callen dragging Deeks towards them. Callen struggled to move his unconscious teammate but all Kensi saw was Deeks. They needed to get back and away from the car that was on fire but before she could get any closer, the place was swarming with the men who blew them up.
"Bajar!" They shouted at them with weapons raised at their faces.
Spenser Williams furiously checked the truck, looking for his son.
"Where is my son?!" He shouted at them. "Is nobody going to answer?"
"You were willing to blow up the car your son was in, to stop us from leaving?"
"I didn't give that command."
"Looks like you're not the head operator around here then." He punched Callen in the stomach, leaving him gasping for air.
Then he focussed on Kensi. "Ask her what she knows?" He told one of the men to translate it into Spanish since he didn't know she spoke English but she remained quiet. "Who is she?" He asked making Derrick's nanny step forward.
"The woman from the stables."
"Did she take him?"
Derrick's nanny looked Kensi in the eye. "I don't know, I stepped out of the room to get his iPad, for a distraction from what was happening outside and when I came back he was gone."
The woman lied to her boss, to save her from getting the full blame. Kensi was grateful she did, at her own risk of getting punished. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw two men lift something off the ground. It was Deeks on a stretcher and she automatically gravitated towards him. She ignored the shouts by several men until she was right beside him.
They put him in the back of a truck and told her to get in too. She was finally able to touch him and she felt for a pulse. Thankfully he was alive but he definitely needed help. Sam and Callen were also brought to a truck as they were headed towards the compound.
She was definitely doing the best out of all of them and that was saying a lot since she felt like she was on her last leg. Deeks was unconscious, Sam was bleeding from his bullet wound and Callen was having trouble breathing. They had been left alone for now in a dark room on the compound.
She felt alone even in the presence of her team. Nobody was talking, leaving only her and her own thoughts to fight an internal battle.
All of a sudden, she could see Deeks' lips moving. He was grumbling incomprehensible things with his eyes closed.
"Deeks, I'm here." She touched his cheek with tears in her eyes. "Can you open your eyes?"
There was nothing, no response again. Callen watched their youngest teammate bent over her partner, her back towards them making it unclear what she was saying.
"Kensi." He called out to her but got no response. "Kensi." Still nothing so he moved over to her to tap on her shoulder. She turned to look at him. "Kens, can you hear me?"
She shook her head as she read his lips to see what he was saying. There was a constant noise of buzzing in her ears and it sounded hollow when she spoke.
"Deeks." She said shakely and he opened his eyes. "Hey, hey." She touched his cheek softly. "I'm here."
"Something's not right." Deeks said painfully.
"Deeks… It's okay, what do you feel?"
"Nothing." He was slightly panicking.
"It's okay. We're gonna get out of here."
"I don't know. I don't know." He slurred before briefly closing his eyes and opening them again.
"Baby…" She tried but his eyes shut again and didn't open again. "Deeks… Deeks!" She said more forcefully the second time as she shook his shoulders. She turned to Sam and Callen. "We have to do something, we have to help him!"
Sam looked her in the eyes sadly. "There's nothing we can do right know Kensi." His heart broke when he saw the look on her face. "But we're gonna try and get out of here as soon as possible…"
He was interrupted by the door swinging open and some of the general's men coming into the room. The moment Kensi remembered what was going on, she started speaking to them.
"Él necesita ayuda! Por favor!" She begged for them to help him.
The men mumbled something and then walked towards Deeks. One of the men made their way over to her to block her view and she was worried they were going to do something.
They picked up the stretcher and started walking out of the room. The one man quickly following.
"No! No no no! Por favor! No lo lastimes!" Please don't hurt him she screamed as the door closed in her face, she was just too late to go after him. "Por favor! Te lo ruego!" I beg you! She sobbed and shouted as she banged on the door.
Moments later it opened and she was yanked outside. Callen and Sam watched as she was gone in a second. They had no time to react before she was pulled away. The door locked again and there was no way out.
One of the men had a tight grip on her arm as they walked along around the compound. At least they were still there, Hetty might know where to find them then.
When they came to a stop in front of another building, she tried to take a look at her surroundings. How far was she from the site of the explosion? Where were Callen and Sam compared to her now? Why were they here?"
They brought them into the wooden house that was practically empty. The two men lowered Deeks onto the ground and the other man pushed her down hard. She barely had enough strength to use her hands to break her fall but she did. She wanted to fight back but had no energy. All three men left before she could finish her thought, it was too late to fight now anyways.
She had no idea what was happening now. They had been split up from the others and Deeks still wasn't getting any help. She had hope that they were calling for help and had just but them here in the meantime but the chances were small.
Sam and Callen were laying down against something as they worried about their younger agents. What were they doing with Deeks? Why did they decide to take her as well? And why had nobody come to check on them for what felt like hours.
"It's getting harder to breathe." Callen said. He was pretty sure he had broken ribs.
"All we can do is…" He grabbed onto Callen's hand. "Rest, rest brother."
She was tired and trying to remember the way they had walked but it was proving to be hard now. Deeks was still unconscious and the sight almost killed her. There are so many things she'd do differently over the last twenty four hours, she didn't even know where to begin. "I'm so sorry Deeks, I'm so sorry." She sobbed into his shoulder. "I love you so much." She whispered.
The chills ran through her body and it wasn't because of the temperature. She laid her head down beside his and closed her eyes. They weren't getting help anytime soon and she didn't know what this would mean for Deeks. The one thing she did know, was that she wasn't leaving this place without him, no matter what.
She looked at the side of his face and for a moment everything was normal. They were laying in bed, she'd woken up before him and stared at his sleeping form and watched as his chest moved up and down with each breath. But this time it was different, this might be the last time they lay like this, on the wooden floor, hands linked and together.
Her partner, her fiancé, her everything, next to her because of her. He had to be her partner one last time and now they were paying the price.
As a wave of emotion came over her, she shifted so that she was laying on her side and wrapped herself around his unmoving body. She hugged him fiercely.
Not even a second later, there was an explosion outside. She hugged him from the side tightly, trying to protect him from the blast. The entire room was yellow and orange in color presumably from fire.
The door flew open and she feared the worst but nobody walked in. She slowly untangled herself from Deeks and stood up to look. The explosion must have had so much force that it blew the entrance open. Seeing nobody for miles ahead in the desert, she decided to make her move.
She thanked whoever was looking out for them and took it as a sign. This was their shot at freedom so she took it. She walked back over to Deeks and tried to wake him, but there was no response. "Okay, I can do this." She told herself as she lifted up one end of the stretcher that he laid on and walked towards the door.
She kept looking around to see if anyone was coming but there was nobody in sight. She dragged him further and further away from the compound in the direction she believed was towards population.
To be continued... Thanks for reading!
