Kensi was on her way home from her mum's house. They had become much closer over the past couple of months, Kensi would visit her nearly every weekend now. This time she had stayed a bit longer than usual. The roads were pretty much empty as the day was drawing to an end. So Kensi was thinking of her favourite surfer, Deeks. Whenever she was bored his perfectly clear blue eyes and his movie star smile would appear in her mind, an image that she struggled to get out once it was in. Not that she ever wanted to get rid of it. Kensi couldn't fully concentrate on the road in front of her after that.
Deeks was sitting at home when an advert came on for his partners favourite movie, Titanic. They were going to watch it together. Deeks wanted any reason to have the woman of his dreams snuggled into his arms. She was running late and that was not like Kensi. Kensi was never late to anywhere. Especially if it involved Deeks. He looked at his watch, it was twenty past nine. He was starting to think that maybe Kensi had forgotten about their movie. He picked up his phone and facetimed her.
Kensi looked at her phone as it received Deeks' videocall. A smile spread across her tired face. She removed one hand from the wheel and picked up her phone. She swiped the screen with her dainty feminine fingers. "Yes Deeks?" she answered, looking at the blonde cop on the screen. She put her phone in the stand which was stuck on the windscreen. She knew that she was late for their movie and Deeks was checking in on her. " Just checking that you hadn't forgotten about poor little me." said Deeks from the other end of the phone. " On the contrary Deeks, I was just thinking about you." she told him. Kensi was nearing an intersection just a few miles away from her destination. The lights were on red. Kensi pulled up and waited until they changed. Deeks was going on about some surfing gossip. But Kensi didn't mind. In fact it was comforting.
The lights changed from red to amber to green. Kensi pulled off and indicated to go left. She was just a few minutes away from a well deserved cuddle with her shaggy haired surfer boy. In the middle of the intersection, out of nowhere came a black SUV style vehicle. The black car ploughed in to the side of Kensi's. Deeks was still on the phone with her when it happened. Deeks waited until the phone went silent and dark. "Kens? Kensi?" Deeks was getting concerned. He couldn't see or hear anything after the crashing sound that had echoed through the phone.
Kensi looked around. The car had rolled over three times and landed upright again. Her vision was blurred but she could still make out two figures making their way over to her car. They opened the drivers side door. A strong hand grabbed Kensi by the arm and dragged her out of the wreck of her car. The first figure lifted her up from under her arms and the other grabbed her legs. The two figures walked over to a third car which had just pulled alongside the black SUV. They place Kensi carefully into the boot. The figures closed the boot and jumped in to the back seats of the car. Almost instantly the car roared into life and drove away.
Deeks was still screaming at the phone. Tears started to roll down his cheek. "Kens please answer me?" The reality was starting to set in. The love of his life had been in a devastating crash and now he had lost all communications with her. His mind started racing. Had he caused it by ringing her, distracting her from the road? He still received no answer from his latest plea. He had to find her. He knew the way Kensi came back from her mum's house. They had travelled the route together multiple times before. He grabbed his keys and his jacket and headed out in his car to look for Kensi.
Deeks was terrified of the thought that he might have already lost the girl of his dreams. The girl with the perfect smile, hair that falls perfectly and that laugh, the one that drives him crazy. Deeks was just pulling up to the intersection when his eyes feel on a horrific sight which sent shivers down his back. He pulled up next to the carnage that was once Kensi's car. He ran over to the wreck searching for his sugarbear only to find her not there. "Kensi? Where are you Kens?" Deeks had a feeling that something was amiss. He didn't know what to do. He pulled out his phone and dialled first the emergency services and then Sam. Sam was like a big brother to him and Kensi. Surely he would be able to help.
Sam was sat at home on the sofa with Michelle. His angel was in bed and it was just the two of them. Sam had his arm around Michelle until the irritable buzzing of his phone broke the mood. Sam picked up the phone and saw that it was Deeks. Rolling his eyes he answered the phone. "Yes?" Sam asked. "Sam, Sam it's Deeks. Um Kensi's had.. she had an accident and now she's... she's missing Sam and I don't know what to do. What do I do Sam?" Deeks was clearly struggling with how to process the recent events. "Deeks, Deeks slow down. Where are you? I will come and meet you." Sam knew that he was serious. He had never heard Deeks like this. Sam got the address from Deeks and kissed Michelle goodbye before heading to meet up with Deeks.
After Deeks had finished on the phone with Sam he knew he should call Callen. Deeks dialled the number and regained some composure before Callen answered. "Callen." "Um G its Deeks you might want to get down here. Kensi's um Kensi is missing" Deeks was a little more composed when he told Callen than when he told Sam. After giving callen the address he said "I'm on my way." Callen sounded a slight bit worried. Sam and Callen tried their hardest to protect the two younger members of the team. But in this job, danger was a normality. It was something that the team just put up with.
It was no longer than five minutes before Sam and Callen were on scene with Deeks and the EMT's. Deeks was still in shock. Sam asked "What happened here?" The whole intersection was covered with bits of debris from both vehicles. "I was on the phone with Kensi and she pulled up at the intersection and then all I heard was a crashing sound. I kept talking to her but she didn't answer me." Callen walked over to the wreck. A few moments later he returned with Kensi's phone. The screen was smashed. " Can we still get data off it?" Sam asked hopefully. But in the state that the phone was in it was unlikely. "We will have to give it to the wonder twins" Callen replied. "See if they can salvage anything off of it." Callen looked at Deeks. It was obvious that he wasn't coping with any of it.
Callen, Sam and Deeks headed for their cars. They were heading for HQ. Callen had called Hetty, filling her in on all the details. She knew everything that they knew. Hetty said to Callen that by the time they arrive at OPS Nell and Eric would be in and ready to help in anyway possible. This case was going to be very difficult for the whole team. Cases that involved one of the team were always difficult but this was different. It was different because they weren't just a team but a family. They pulled up at HQ about twenty minutes later. Walking into the old, ivy covered building, Deeks was still in shock. So much so that when Hetty greeted him, he completely did not notice the petite woman. Deeks went straight into the bull pen and placed his bag on his desk. Sam walked over to him. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he asked. "Deeks, are you okay?" Deeks quickly snapped out of the trance he was in upon walking into HQ. "Yeah." he muttered. "Why?" "You just blanked Hetty that's why." Sam explained. Deeks face turned from shocked to awkwardly sheepish "Oops." he whispered.
The three men headed upstairs to OPS. The two glass doors slid apart. In OPS stood Nell, Eric and the petite woman that Deeks blatantly ignored not five minutes previous. Immediately Deeks walked over to Hetty. "I'm so sorry for ignoring you just a moment ago. I was thinking of... Well I was thinking of Kensi. That's all." "Mr Deeks it is perfectly alright. I expected you to be thinking about Ms Blye. You two are close." Hetty was always an understanding and kind person. On occasion she could come across as being a bit motherly to the team. Deeks joined Callen and Sam in front of the large screen. Hetty gestured to Nell and Eric that they were ready and the briefing began.
Nell spoke first. "LAPD Are still canvassing the area, but what we have found, on a camera which overlooks the intersection, is that a third car pulled up straight after the accident. Two men got out of the car which collided with Kensi's and took Kensi out of her car and in to the boot of the third." "Any hits on the third car?" Callen piped up. Nell looked at Eric who shook his head and and replied "No, not yet." Deeks let out a prolonged sigh. Just then the computer beeped. Eric spun round on his chair and started tapping away on the keyboard in front of him."What is it Eric?" Nell asked. " Well I did a search for the car, seeing if it had been caught on any cameras before the accident, and it was. A few times actually. Once a couple of days ago outside Kensi's house, then outside her mum's house and then the road coming from the right last weekend. All three times it was parked up like it was waiting for someone. Then a few minutes later we can see Kensi in view and the car drives off." Eric explained as three different camera angles played on the screen.
"So what we know now is that this was organised?" came a small voice from behind the team in OPS. The team spun round to find Hetty still standing behind them. The team had forgotten that their boss had been stood behind them the whole time. The tough ex-SEAL nodded blankly. Sam didn't want it to be a professional job because that meant that Kensi had diminishing chances of an unscathed rescue and Kensi was like a little sister to Sam. It had just hit him how much this was gonna affect him. He had nearly lost Michelle but he worked with Kensi everyday if something was to happen Sam would never be able to cope. The team turned to face Hetty. 'Any word from LAPD' she asked almost desperate for a lead to where Kensi was. Eric turned round and started tapping away at the keyboard again. 'Well?' Callen asked impatiently. 'Yeah. They have sent over some tyre tread patterns for us to analyse from the third vehicle. Also I sent the cctv video over to some analyst friends I have and they have a hit on the video. There is a large scrape on the side revealing a different colour underneath. That is a highly expensive modification.' A flash of questioning looks shot Eric's way. 'I know my modification processes.' He quickly said. 'So we can search for people who have had a colour change at local mechanics.' Nell pitched in. 'Then away we go Miss Jones!' Hetty instructed.
'Mr Callen, Mr Hanna I need you to go through with Mr Deeks what happened and then I will need you to go down and bring Kensi's mother in and speak with her.' Hetty continued. Deeks swiftly followed her sentence as if he was finishing for her. 'Hetty I think it would probably be easier for Julia if I was to speak with her. I know her better that's all and well we are closer. No offence to you guys.' Deeks said nodding towards Callen and Sam. Hetty nodded in agreement with Deeks request. Deeks started to head out of OPS when Hetty called him back. 'Not until you have given your account Mr Deeks the sooner the better.' Deeks nodded with a short yes and then he, Callen and Sam headed down to the bullpen.
