CHAPTER ONE: TAKE ME

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own NCIS: Los Angeles or any of the characters.

"Where is she? SAM! Where is she?" Deeks screams as he charges at him.

"Deeks! DEEKS! Calm down!" Callen yells as he grabs Deeks.

"Where is she?" Deeks screams now at Callen. Sam, Callen, and Kensi were on a stakeout at a house. Two Russian spies had taken Kensi ransom when she went around to sweep the back. There was a hidden driveway around and when she went to enter the house, the two men got out of the car and took her.

Deeks wasn't included on the stakeout because he was undercover with them and they would recognize him as Alexander Antipov. Deeks stayed at the OPS with Nell and Eric as Callen, Sam, and Kensi tried nailing the men. Callen called Eric and told them Kensi was taken, but little did Callen know that the call was on speakerphone.

"Who took her?" Deeks yelled.

"The two Russian men, Alexei Luski and Viktor Usilov took her." Callen said. "We'll get her back. Don't worry, Deeks."

"Don't worry, we'll get her back. You do realize that you guys lost her." Deeks screamed. Callen's phone rings. Sam and Deeks turn to the other with and throw one another a weird look. "Who is it?"

"I don't know." Callen replied. "Eric, trace the call."

"On it." Eric said.

"Hello?" Callen answered.

"I can see you right now. I have the girl. Put the guy, the surfer guy on the phone." One of the men said.

"Deeks, they want you." Callen said as he hands him the phone.

"What's happening?" Sam whispers to Callen.

"They can see us and wanted to speak to Deeks." He whispers back.

"Hello?" Deeks answers concerned about what they'll do to Kensi.

"I knew you were some kind of fed." The man told Deeks. "Yeah, we have your girl. She said she wanted to tell you something." Deeks wrote on his hand with his finger, 'Luski'

"Deeks, I want to tell you something." Kensi said crying. "I-I-I love you, Deeks." She said as the phone was handed to Usilov.

"You heard that right?" Usilov asked Deeks.

"Yeah, now where are you?" Deeks shouted into the phone.

"You and your team can find that out for yourself." Usilov said as he disconnected the call.

"Eric, you got a trace?" Callen asked.

"Not an exact, but he's someplace within a 200 feet radius. Somewhere in one of the houses around you." Eric said.

"I'm going after him." Deeks yelled as he ran to the car. He drove not even two houses over where he saw somebody looking out the window. He slams on the breaks, got out of the car, and went up to the door. He busted down the door and saw Kensi tied up in a chair. Luski had a gun pointed to Kensi's head and Usilov's gun was pointed at Deeks' face.

"Let her go, please. Luski, please let her go." Deeks pleaded.

"Untie her yourself and maybe I'll let her go." Luski said.

"Mmm! Mmmmm!" Kensi mumbled as Deeks walked quite fast over to Kensi. He first took off the tape around her mouth. "Deeks! Deeks, you need to go. Go Deeks! You shouldn't have come!" Kensi pleaded.

"No, no, I'm not leaving you. You leave alone and I'll stay." Deeks said as he untied her hands and feet. Kensi was staring dead into Usilov's eyes.

"Go now or you're not leaving at all." Luski said.

"Kensi, go! Please! If you love me, you'll go." Deeks said. Kensi was two feet from the door as Deeks turned her around and planted a kiss on her lips. She was crying, he was crying. "I love you. Do this for me. Don't worry, I'll be back." He said kissing her one last time. Usilov was pointing the gun at Kensi walking out as Luski pointed his gun at Deeks. Deeks staring at Kensi, the prettiest woman he's ever met. Usilov closed the door.

"Come on! Let's go." Luski said.

"Callen! Callen, they have Deeks." Kensi screamed.

"Kensi, where were you?" Sam yelled.

"They took Deeks! Deeks told them to take him and let me go. That's them! Right there! Please, Sam. Find him. I-I can't lose him." Kensi was on the grass crying in a ball. Luski, Usilov, and Deeks sped off in a black car.

"We'll get him back, Kensi." Sam tried to reassure, but failed.

"I-I love him….." Kensi whispered. Sam heard, but ignored. Callen didn't. Sam helped Kensi up and Sam told her something.

"He loves you too, Kensi. He has something, something he wanted me to give you if he was in danger." He said and Kensi started to cry.

"Callen, I love him. He made me leave. He left because of me." Kensi stuttered, but Sam and Callen understood.

"Because he loves you." Callen said.

"Hey guys, you might need to see this." Eric said through his mic.

"Be right there, Eric. Nell, see if you can find the car they drove off in."

"On it." Nell said. They pull up and get out of the car. Kensi walks over to Sam as he takes something off of his desk. It's addressed to Kensi.

"Stay here, Kens." Sam says and follows Callen up to OPS.

She takes the envelope and opens it. On the cover it says, Marty Deeks' Journal. She turns the first page and sees a picture of him when he was 11. Under it were was a little excerpt.

Kensi, this picture was the day I shot my father. I was 11. Please, turn the page.

She does so. There was another picture. It was a picture of them two together on a stakeout. Just a random picture she thought.

It's my only picture of you and me together. Kinda sad because I like you more than a co-worker. Yet, co-workers normally don't love each other. Yeah, I'm saying this on paper so you have proof that whenever I am in danger and Sam gives this to you, you know everything I do is to protect you. If anything happens to you, Kens, I won't forgive myself. Kens, I want you to know that I love you.

Kensi sat there crying.
