Summary: Seven months ago, Kensi was shot and died. No matter how hard they tried to find out who did it, they weren't able to. Deeks couldn't stand working at NCIS and looking every day her empty desk, so he returned to LAPD. But a case brings NCIS and LAPD on a joint task force. During the investigation, they discover some things that they didn't know about their long gone agent and that in some very strange way that case is connected with Kensi's murder.

AN3: Updates every Monday.
AN4: Of course, I don't own anything. Just a computer and lots of ideas.
This was supposed to be their day. Today, they were supposed to start their common life as a married couple. But life wasn't fair with them.
Monday, June 22th 19:30
After the party was over, they left. They drove down to the Long Beach and walked, holding each other's hand, on the sand. The sun hadn't set yet. And the colors on the sky were beautiful.
Deeks had stayed in his light grey suit but Kensi had changed. It was difficult to walk with that big and heavy white wedding dress on. She had put on a yellow dress with flowers decorating it. And she was happy. She was very happy. She hadn't stopped smiling all day. Today, she got married to the man of her life, to the man whom she fell in love with the first time she saw him, to the man who wasn't going to leave her for no reason, to the man whom she would spend the rest of her life with. She was proud to say that she was now Mrs. Deeks.
They stood there and stared at the ocean. He was behind her with his arms around her, keeping her close to him. He had now one more reason he didn't want to lose her. They were watching the seagulls flying above the water searching for their dinner when she turned and looked into his eyes. It was the time to finally tell him. She was keeping it for three weeks. She wanted it to be her gift to him on their wedding day. "Are you happy?" he asked.
"Very. I never thought this day would come."
"But it did." They walked a little more when he asked her again. "What's going on? There is something you want to tell me. I can see it in your eyes."
"This day will stay in our minds forever. And not just because of the wedding. I'll make you the happiest man on earth."
"I'm already. Nothing can make me happier."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Try me."
"I…" That was she saw a shine coming from a yacht that was on the water, not many miles from the shore. "SNIPPER!" she yelled. And before he could react, she was falling on his arms bleeding. He turned at the sea and saw the yacht leaving.
She was feeling the sand on her half naked back, the blood running in her fingers and Deeks cold hands touching her face. She had her mouth slightly opened, trying to breath. She raised a little bit her hand and saw the blood. "It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be fine. I promise you." he whispered her. His voice was shaking. He put pressure with one hand on her wound and with his free one he took out his phone and dialed 911.
As soon as the ambulance stopped outside the entrance of the ER, the paramentics rolled her inside. The doctors asked from Deeks to step outside the trauma room and let them do their job. Two minutes later, she was out and on the way up to the OR. He was in shock. What if the bullet was meant to be for him? What if he was the target?
He ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. The water was falling on them and the white sink was becoming red from the blood. When he was done, he threw some water on his face. He dried his hands and went outside.
An hour passed. An hour since she was taken to the surgery. Callen had called to say they were coming. He was sitting on a plastic chair at the waiting room, waiting for someone to come and tell him something good. During that hour, so many doctors, nurses and interns were coming and going and no one knew something. He was looking at his bloody shirt- her blood was all over it- when his eyes caught a man in a green uniform approaching him and standing in front of him. He looked up to face the man, who turned out to be a doctor, and stared at him.
Callen had just arrived with Sam and Granger. When they saw the doctor talking with Deeks, they froze. They didn't approach them until the doctor left. Callen walked towards his co-worker with the other two agents following him and looked at him. His eyes were wet. He had never seen him like that before. "Deeks? What did the doctor say?" Callen asked.
Deeks stared at him. He was looking one at him, one at the two men standing behind the senior agent. "She…she's gone." And he burst into tears. Suddenly, Callen's blue eyes got wet too. And Sam was filled with so much anger that he punched the wall. Granger, on the other hand, was showing nothing. He never expressed his feelings. But deep inside him, he was angry. And he wanted to kill the son of a bitch who took her life just like that.
Let me know what you think. See you next Monday!
