I was watching season 6 from the beginning during the weekend and I came up with this at the end of Traitor. Enjoy!
I don't own NCIS:LA.
They clearly knew that it wasn't over. They might have caught Brown but he didn't tell them whom he was working for. They hoped that the Russians who took him, might convinced him to talk.
After they left from the boatshed, Deeks asked Kensi if she wanted to have dinner together at his place and watch a movie. And she was more than glad to accept the invitation. This morning she realized how well her partner knew her. He even knew her favorite color; well if cornflower blue can be considered as a color.
She was sitting at his couch when he approached with two bottles of bears in his hands. He gave her the one and sat next to her. He stared at her for a moment. She seemed to be somewhere else, not just now but since they left from the hospital. "What's going on?" He finally asked her.
"What makes you think something is going on?" and there she goes again, answering a question with a question.
But he ignored it and continued. "Since we left from Granger this morning, you are acting weird." He truly knew her well.
She turned to face him and made herself more comfortable to the couch by sitting on her legs. She opened her mouth a few times but nothing could come out. All day she was telling herself that nothing was going on, that whatever she was thinking was just in her mind. Deeks gave her the come-on-please-tell-me look and she eventually expressed her fears. "It's just some things Granger said." He looked at her confused. "When he grabbed my hands, he was saying it wasn't safe and not to go back there."
"Back there, where?" It was a logical question.
"Probably the Mission. Let me just remind you that when we got there, a poisonous plant was left on my desk." She had a point.
"Kens, he didn't even know where he was. He didn't remember what had happened. How can you count on what he said? He was acting like a paranoid."
"But if he was right? What if what he wasn't saying weren't ravings? What if I was a target too? Brown left the plant on my desk. Why not at Hetty's?"
Deeks placed the bottles at the small table in front of the couch and held her hand. "I'm right here, okay? I won't let anyone hurt you. As long as I'm alive no one will ever touch you. I promise you that." He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"I'll go see him tomorrow."
"If that makes you feel better, then go." That was when the doorbell rang. "Food is here."
The next morning, before work, Kensi drove to the hospital to see Granger. The doctor had told her that he was much better and visitors were welcomed. She knocked the glass door of his room before entering. He was awake. "Good morning." she said as she walked in.
"Good morning. What are doing here?"
"I wanted to see you. How are you feeling?" She sat on the chair that was put next to his bed last night from Hetty.
"I've been better. But you are not here for that. So, tell me, what's going on?"
"When Deeks and I came to see you yesterday, you told me something that kind of freaked me out."
"Blye, I don't remember the accident. You want me to remember what I told you?"
"You said it wasn't safe to go back there, probably meaning the Mission. I didn't give much attention to that until Deeks and I returned there and the plant that was used to poison you was put on my desk. So, I'm asking you now, was I a target too?"
Granger stared at her for a moment. He didn't know what to say. So, he began from the very first beginning. "A few hours before you father died, I promised him that I'll keep you safe and take care of you as if you were my daughter. And I was protecting you all those years, from the night he died until now. I only failed once in Afghanistan. And I blamed myself for that. Because if I had pressed you to tell what you saw nothing would have happened." He looked her in the eyes and held her hands. "You have a partner who's willing to do everything for you, who can protect you and I'm here too. No one will hurt you."
"So, that's a yes?"
"That's a promise I'm giving to you."
I was thinking about that scenario the very first time I saw the episode Traitor. Why would Brown leave the plant on Kensi's desk and not at Hetty's who happens to be the Operation Manager? And let's don't forget a tweet JPK posted in his account (January 31th) about someone who's tailing Kensi.
Your thoughts? ? ?
