Deeks is away on an OP with LAPD when Kensi and the team take a case and something happens

Callen and Sam walk into the bullpen and set their bags down on the floor by their desks and look around to see Kensi and her temporary partner Jason sitting at their desks and look to see Deeks desk is still empty expect for a few birthday cards, "Still no word?"

Kensi shakes her head looking at her paperwork, "Nothing and been 2 months since left for that OP with LAPD."

They all turn when hear Eric whistle from top of the stairs and they all head up to OPs, "Lt. Commander Sanchez was found this morning around 4am and they just got an ID on him and when they found out was one of ours they sent it over to us."

Callen looks around seeing everyone still feeling the effects of having a new guy there and not having Deeks, "Travers and Kensi head to his house and see what can find. Sam and me will go to the scene and see what we can find out there."

Kensi nods and heads back to her desk and sets a Tootsie pop down on his desk where already 60 were all in a pile and she grabs her keys as her partner follows and Sam turns to Callen, "What's with all the Tootsie suckers and Kensi?" He asked eyeing the pile.

Callen shrugs, "She places one there every day each time he comes back so he knows when he comes back that we hadn't replaced him while he was away."

Kensi pulls up to the address 10 minutes later that Eric had given them and turns off the engine and they head to the front door which is ajar and both pull out their weapons and hear a crash inside and she kicks the door open and they head inside and met by a hail of gunfire, "Eric need back up," she shouts into her earwig.

"Sending Sam and Callen to your location and should be there soon," he tells her.

Nell rushes to the balcony and sighs as see Callen and Sam are still there, "Kensi and Travers need back up can hear gunfire."

Sam and Callen run to the Challenger and Callen sits down and then Sam punches the gas as he pulls down the backseat to get access to the trunk and grabs two vests and extra clips to they're weapons and they make there in less than 5 minutes and no more than 7 minutes after Kensi called for help as they slip on the vests they rush to the door and the sight before them is nasty and Callen rushes inside when see Kensi laying in pool of blood, "Eric, need EMT's their both hit," Sam shouts.

Callen is at her side and see her eyes open, "Kenz stay with us!"

Sam moves to where Travers is and checks for a pulse and finds none and checks the other guy and finds none and kneels by his partner, "Kensi can you open your eyes?" Sam asked pleading for her to listen and hang in there for a little bit longer.

Kensi opened her eyes and stared at her two best friends, "G...Sam?" She struggled to say above a whisper and started a coughing fit.

Both men press against the wounds trying to stop the blood, "Stay with us Kenz!" Callen told her.

She closes her eyes but says, "Deeks?"

Sam sighs, "Yeah Kensi you will see him soon in the hospital."

"I love you guys," she said as she stops breathing.

Callen starts CPR and Sam shouts into the comm, "Eric where the hell are they?"

The sirens could be heard and a second later paramedics rush in and resume CPR and rush her into the waiting ambulence and the partners can only follow hoping the women who they thought of as a little sister would make it to see them again.

Hetty is in her office when she looks up as Nell runs in trying to catch her breath and could tell something was wrong before she said anything, "Callen and Sam got there and called for EMT's saying that Kensi and Jason were both hit and no idea how bad."

Eric comes down from OPs, "LAPD is securing the scene with sounds like 2 bodies. Sam and Callen are heading to Olympia which is the closest."

Nell grabs Sam and Callen's go-bags knowing they will need them, "I will drive."

She nods and they all head for her car and Nell drives and they get there and see Callen and Sam leaning against a wall, "Any word?"

Sam looks up at the three people as they enter and at his partner, "Jason was gone when we got there and Kensi stopped breathing right before EMT's got there and not sure just waiting for more news."

Nell sits down in a chair and Eric by her all the team could do at the moment was what they hated most— sit and wait on the sidelines, while one of their most important members of the team fought for her life. They could only pray and hope for the best. But all were terrified of what possible outcome was due to follow. "Deeks?" Nell asked.

Hetty shakes her head almost forgetting about the one agent who should be there, "I will need to find him."

Lt. Bates is at the crime scene and see the dead agent on the ground and the bad guy and another pool of blood knowing it belonged to another agent that he had known for a while but he knew he was going to get a phone call and wished he had better news as one of the patrol cops comes over, "Lt. Bates you know the agent that was taken out of here?"

Bates knows that Kensi was the one shot and he had gotten to know her when Deeks was fired from NCIS position and went back to LAPD and knew how much the detective and agent cared for each other and wish he knew how to get ahold of him as his phone rings and already knows who it was, "Mrs. Lange I wish knew where and how to contact him-"

She sighs at his greeting as she moves away from her team, "What you mean?"

"Deeks has gone undercover with Internal Affairs and no idea where he's at. I am sorry about your agent that didn't make it."

She takes a deep breath, "Thank you Lt. Bates."

what will happen to Kensi? how will the team cope? will Deeks be there in time or be to late?
