« I told you not to open my emails Deeks. » Kensi nearly yelled at me.
Kensi was pretty upset since our kiss. We never talked about it. When we kissed she ran away and said that she had to stay with Michelle. After that. I got captured by some terrible villains who did not hesitate to torture me to get information about… Michelle. God, this Michelle caused me a lot of trouble lately.
Who is this Tommy Bekker ? » I read the name in her emails. « What's this stupid surname, Bekker It doesn't mean anything ! »
« Because yours is better ? She asked in an ironic tone and laughed out loud.
« I'm not talking about me. » I answered smiling.
« Oh my Gosh, you're jealous ! » She smirked at me with satisfaction.
« I'm not jealous. I'm just curious. » I answered trying to seem emotionless.
Kensi looked at me and a fake smile appeared on her face « You know what ? I believe you Deeks. Why would you possibly be jealous ? We're just partners. Besides, Tommy sent me 3 emails today, it's not like it's something serious. »
« Wait a second, you answered to a guy you don't even know ? » He said getting pissed off.
« Who said I answered and who said I don't know him? » She answered calmly.
« And do you know him ? » I asked her.
« Actually, I don't. But he seems to be stobbern. He really wants to meet me. He wrote me that he thinks we have a connection. » She said overplaying with her hands.
« Who the hell is this guy ? » I almost yelled. I came near Kensi's computer. « Seriously, this guy sucks. I'm surprised he thinks he stands a chance with you» I looked at her.
I was dangerously close to her face. I bit my lips and remembered our kiss. It was the first time we really kissed and I caught myself hoping it wouldn't be our last time. She looked at me a bit embarrassed. She smiled and turned her face. I smiled too. I'm sure she thought the same thing that I just did. I stepped backwards.
« He's kinda cute Kenz'. You should definitely meet him. » Callen smirks at me and Kensi.
« He's right. You're gorgeous and single. Go ahead. Have some fun. » Sam said smiling.
The guys were really getting in my nerves. Kensi can't date this Tommy Bekker. She's better than this.
« Hety wants to see all of you now. And just so you know she's really mad. » Nell warned all of us.
Hetty was preocupied. She informed us that in the last 3 months, 4 women were found savagely murdered in Los Angeles. Those women were all independent, powerful and successful women. They were soldiers. The murderer stalks these women during weeks. He has the feeling that he knows them. The police doesn't know the reasons of this murder. They don't have any clue about this killer so they decided to transfer the case to the NCIS.
Kensi and I had to check the victims' appartment. Given the fact that the LAPD hadn't found any clue about this murderer. We had to start from the beginning.
Kensi left the meeting room first. She checked her phone and smiled.
« So, are you really going to date that Tommy guy ? » I started to interrogate her.
« Why do you want to know ? » She answered to my question by another question.
Typical.
« I'm just trying to discuss with you, as we used to do it before. » I answered calmly.
« Before what ? » She asked again.
God, why is she always asking questions ?
« You know before what. » I answered calmly again.
« Actually I don't. We never talked about it. » She claimed a bit confused.
« If we didn't talk about it, maybe it's because there is nothing to talk about. » I said.
She nodded trying to seem normal.
« To answer your question I haven't decided yet. But Callen is right. I'm single and he's kinda cute so… » She stopped talking and grabbed her weapon. « I think we should go. » She left and checked her phone again.
In the car, it was kind of quiet. Kensi didn't say a word which was unusual. She kept checking her phone over and over. I didn't know why and I was starting to be worried.
« Ok kenz, what's wrong ? I asked really concerned.
I looked at her intensely.
« What's wrong ? I don't get it. » She answered without looking at me. She kept driving as if I wasn't here.
« Can't you answer for once ? You keep avoiding my questions and now you're ignoring me. So I'm asking you what's wrong ? » I asked exasperated.
« I thought there was nothing to talk about. » She answered coldly.
« Ok, you want to talk about it. So let's talk about it. » I said decided to clear everything up. « I kissed you and you ran away Kenz. You left me without saying a word so I supposed that for you it was a mistake. »
She didn't say a word and stopped the car. She looked at me intensely.
« Why did you kiss me Deeks ? » She asked pretty upset.
I was a bit nervous right now. I didn't know what to answer because we were working together. I crossed the line and I shouldn't have even though I wanted to. I still do. But we couldn't be together because having a relationship together would be dangerous for all of us. Fortunately I got saved by the bell. Her phone rang, she sighed and answered it coldly.
« Yeah Nell. We're coming back. The LAPD did a good job. We found nothing in the women's houses. »
When we came back to the NCIS, we joined the others into the meeting room. This investigation was a total disaster, we had nothing about this man. He could kill other army women again which made Hety more mad. A woman and her partner came to speak to us about our killer. They knew those serial killers pretty well because they were profilers. They gave us some information about the killer according to the way the women were murdered. Those women have been raped and beaten to death which revealed that the killer took pleasure in those murder. He tortured them to get revenge. He suffered a strong lack of confidence and killing those powerful and succesful women was a way to feel more powerful and stronger. They talked about a way to catch him. We needed to find a woman who could make him feel weak.
« Agent Blye are you feeling okay with this mission ? » asked Hety.
« I'm ready to take this bastard down. But I need my partner for this job. Don't you think Deeks ? Kensi said to me smiling.
I smiled back. I didn't like this mission. If I could I would have yelled to cancel it. This man enjoyed torturing women. What if something went wrong ? What if Kensi got captured ? I couldn't bear this thought. This couldn't happen. I knew it wasn't the first time she would be in danger but I didn't get used to this feeling. Everytime she was in the field I needed to protect her. I found no release until she was safe. At that moment, I was terrified. I got a hunch that something be would happen.
8 pm. It was time to dress up for the mission. This was it, we had to get ready to drop Kensi in the arena. I had to watch her seduce this psycho. The profilers told us that Kensi had to appear in the press. Kensi insulted him and said that he wasn't a man. She also added that it would be easy to catch him because he was not really dangerous. She provoked him deliberately so he would try to kill her. I was in my dressing room. I had to wear a black suit, black shirt and black tie with black shoes. When I went out of my dressing room. Kensi was already dressed. She took my breath away. I was overwelmed. She was wearing a skinny red dress. She was perfect in it. She released her wavy hair on her shoulders. Just like the day we met. She put on a red lipstick in front of a mirror and turned back to me. She looked amazing. Her red lips were calling for me to kiss them again. As much I didn't want her to go into this club, I had to talk to her before this mission.
« Waouh, you look amazing Kenz. » I whispered in a gaze.
« Thank you partner» She smiled and shyly put her hair behind her ear.
I came close to her and grabbed her cheek softly « I won't let anything happen to you, I promise. »
She looked at me and tenderly kissed me on the cheek.
« I know Deeks. » She said smiling. «Time to go. »
Kensi came into the night club. She was walked in a confident step which I couldn't take my eyes off of her. If the killer had been following her, he would try to... I couldn't think more about it. The problem was that we didn't know what he looked like and Kensi would surely attract many men.
In the night club everyone was is position. Sam was the barmaid of the night. Kensi crossed the dancefloor slowly. She sat in front of Sam and ordered a Tequila. Quickly men tried to hit on Kensi. I could hear everything they said to her. « Hey Sweetie, won't you come dance with me ? » Said the first one.
I had my eye on her. Actually, I had both eyes on her.
An hour later, Kensi was still at the bar. Our man didn't show up.
« Little Monkey. I'm bored. Waouh ! That's not how I imagined that night. Well I guess I have to tease him more» She sighed.
What did she mean ? What was in her mind ?
« Sunshine ! What are you going to do ? »
Kensi headed to the dancefloor and grabbed some stranger and started to dance in a sassy way I never seen before. Feel so close of Calvin Harris was on. She definitely looked close to that guy. The sound of the music was extremely loud. But she was all I could focus on.
Her body was following the rythm of the song. The stranger kissed her in the neck and she laughed. I tried to focus on the mission but I hated the fact that some guy was touching her. He whispered to her in her ear to follow him upstairs. I knew what he meant and I could feel my jaws clenching. Suddenly another guy grabbed her hand and invited her to dance. She looked at me and nodded discreetly. This might be our guy. She followed him and the dancefloor so he pulled her close to him and they danced together. He stroke her hair and I could feel my blood boiling.
« Can I buy you a drink » he asked.
« Only if you can guess what I'd like to drink. » Kensi said trying to provoke him again.
« I think you like sex in the sunset. » He claimed.
« Actually. Not at all. Your not good at this game are you ? » Kensi laughed.
« Well. Let me try again. You would like to drink a Vodka Tonic. »
« Wrong choice. You just lose the girl. » She said curtly. « I'm sorry but there is other more interesting men here. » She said to piss him off.
She stood up and left him. Where was she going ? Callen started to follow her. Sam was following the strange guy.
Come on Kenz what are you doing ? I thought.
It was crowded in here, I couldn't even find my feet. Callen was still following Kensi. She headed into the restroom. She entered the lady's room when our suspect followed her. He pushed her against the door and I heared Kensi punching him. She wasn't the vulnerable kind of girl. I rushed to the restroom where Callen and Sam tried to enter but something was stucking the door. Callen tried to knock down the door but it took time. The noises in there stopped.
« Kensi, are you okay ? » She wasn't answering. Suddenly my fears seamed to be real and I imagined the worst that could have happened to her. Callen opened the door and we shot the guy. Kensi was laying on the floor. She was unconscious.
« Call 911. » I took her pulse. Thank God, she was still alive. I stroke her forehead and waited for the ambulance to come.
