Yet Another Neighbourhood chapter 1
"Deeks?" Kensi said surprised. The atmosphere was full of chatter as the people in the café buzzed during morning rush hour. Sun shone through the large windows and lit the open room. The blond headed agent turned to see where the voice had come from. In the door way stood Kensi. She pulled her sunglasses into her lose hair and smiled. She then walked over to where he stood in line. "Morning Sunshine," he said. Without asking, he placed an order for the both of them and paid the girl behind the register. "Thanks," he responded when taking the change. Kensi couldn't help but lift an eyebrow to the lack of flirtation. There was no bright smile he had offered her just moments ago, and his voice had no indication if interest. Tired eyes met hers for a moment.
"How was your vacation in London?" Deeks asked while holding both coffees. Deeks pulled the coffee away when his partner was about to take it. "Can I have a ride? I walked here but getting to Ops will take forever," his voice now sounding more smug and like his usual self. Kensi motioned for him to follow and they made their way outside. "It was fine by the way," she answered his earlier question.
They drove in silence. Occasionally Kensi would look over at Deeks. He had his sunglasses on now as well and his hair was even more out of control than normal. While they usually had conversations about almost anything during their time on the road, he sat quietly sipping on the steaming cup of coffee. And Kensi slipped away herself for a moment.
Although distant from Deeks and the immediate things all around her, she seemed to concentrate on the alleys ways, the exits wherever there were any, and people who looked like they were dressed to well or traveled just a bit too quickly. Both of them forgot about each other for a while. The car ride seemed miles away and everything that had ever been a bond of trust between the pair was burned to smouldering ashes. Soon enough, as if the ashes had belonged to an elderly phoenix, it began to burn after a small spark ignited. All Deeks had to do was look over and give Kensi his smile. The big, goofy grin she had so desperately missed over her two week break. He shook his curls and decided the radio had never hurt anyone and turned on a random station.
As the two walked towards their desks, Callen sat reading the newspaper like always, and Sam stared at his computer screen. Callen turned to look at the two walking over and was about to say something. He was cut off when Eric ran towards them. "You all need to see this," he puffed. His gestures were sharp and he seemed on edge. The team followed quickly. Assembling in Ops, an eerie silence fell over the room. Hetty stood at the front. Unlike usually, where the screens are already prepped for the upcoming briefing, they were black this time. Eric and Nell stood closer than normal, as if they needed each other's supports now.
"I would just want to clarify that not only the entire agency, but also many others, are working hard to begin clearing all of this up," Hetty started. Every eye in the room took turns looking at one another. Callen was quick to quite sternly demand an explanation to what was going on. It hadn't escaped him that most people that had passed him the morning had given him and his team funny stares. "We have code Bomb Shelter," Hetty admitted. There it was. As if a bomb itself had gone off right then and there. All six of her agents stood in utter silence and appeared to be afraid of moving too fast or too suddenly. Code Bomb Shelter was one of the few terms Kensi and the guys had made sure to drill into Deeks' head when he arrived. Although it wasn't said often, it had the ability to destroy a lot. Never before used in the NCIS Office of Special Projects it was serious and they could tell by looking at Hetty. All fun and games were over. Whatever happened next would be nothing short of chaos throughout the nation's bureaus. Even if they acted indifferent towards each other most of the time, the agencies respected one another and would never wish code Bomb Shelter on any of them.
AN-I hope you like it. Code Bomb Shelter is something I come up with and it will be something throughout the whole story. It is mostly a Densi story but will include everyone. Please tell me what you think, I love reading review. Will update as soon as possible.
