THE BLYE FAMILY

Author Note – this story has been on my mind for a long time. A big THANKS to my beta reader. I am going to update on Tuesdays.

Disclaimer - Unfortunately I don't own any of the characters, because if I did, densi would have been together long ago.


QUESTIONS?

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever"

Chinese Proverbs quotes


(Deeks' P.O.V)

They say there is something about the skyline and water that soothes you. For me it's the water. The walk on the beach, watching the sun rising/setting, the feeling of sand moving under my bare feet, the feeling of walking on water and the feeling of catching a wave and surfing it, is amazing. It always relaxes me. It calms my nerves and I am in another world when I am surfing. When I catch a wave and ride on it, I feel like I am in the sky, and I am above anyone's reach and no one can harm me here. No one can catch me when I am surfing; it's as if I am the king of the world and everything else doesn't have any importance to me. I am carefree when I am on the waves, I know I am alone, and there is no one, but I don't give a shit about it, only one thing that matters is I am happy. Yes, I am happy when I surf and there is nothing that makes me feel better than surfing. It's my way to relax myself and clear my head and think properly. It's my escape from the world into my world where everything is fine, except in the real world nothing is fine.

Surfing is one thing and surfing with your favourite person is another thing. It actually enhances the importance of one thing that you love the most in your life and it feels great. So here I am, Marty Deeks, surfing and enjoying the waves with my favourite person on the earth, who is none other than my very own Kensi Blye. Yes, she is mine because she is my partner, my best friend and my everything. Now-a-days my whole world revolves around here. It's actually amazing how a single person can affect you so much and their presence can have so much effect on you. I am surfing with my partner and I am lost in my thoughts when suddenly a huge wave comes and I shout for Kensi to warn her but she doesn't listen to me and the next thing I know is that my partner is taken down by a huge wave. I panicked, I shout for her again from where I am but I can't see her and then I see my partner trying to surface again. I move my surfboard over there but before I reach there she is drowning. I know she can swim but it looks like she is not conscious. I can see her drowning and I am screaming her name and I am screaming for help, but there is no one. I try to get there as soon as possible but she is nowhere to be seen, but her surfboard is there where she was just few moments ago and it's then when I realize she is gone. I lost her. I lost my partner, my best friend, my... and suddenly I hear some voice and that is...

GOOD MORNING LOS ANGELES... It's five in the morning...

It's my alarm clock. I turn over to stop my alarm clock before it wakes up my entire neighbourhood. It then suddenly hits me that all of it was a bad dream and my partner is very much safe and alive. But my breathing is not proper so I try to relax and suddenly my head is pounding and I know it is because of last night's events. Well, last night a girl broke up with me, yeah can you imagine she broke up with me, how can she do that? I mean, come on look at me I am like 365 days of heaven. Huh, poor girl made a mistake, even though I was going to break up with her but still she can't be the breaker, I was supposed to be that. Still, my mind goes back to Kensi; yeah, everything revolves around her, told you. It's actually five in the morning so I can't call her and ask her if she is fine. I am not that dumb that I will wake up Kensi Blye from her beauty sleep and ask her whether she is ok or not because after that the only person that wouldn't be ok will be me. What I didn't know is that my partner is already up and is at the airport to receive someone.

So I decide to get up and then I realize that I woke up from the wrong side of bed. Well I am not the superstitious guy but this is something that I believe in but then I say to myself what more wrong can happen compared to what already has happened? Yes, I am heartbroken from last night's incident but you can't blame me on that. Very little did I know that this day was going to one hell of a day for me...

I woke up at five am with one hell of a dream and then woke up on the wrong side of the bed and then the waves weren't good and so here I am eating my breakfast. Can this day suck anymore? While I am eating I get a call from my partner with whom I just talked an hour ago just to check whether she was ok or not. I needed to confirm that it was just a bad dream and my partner is ok and alive and safe, which I did an hour ago. So I pick up my phone grinning like a fool and say, "this is Deeks".

To which Kensi replies, "Deeks, we are needed in the boatshed. Pick you up in 10". The urgency in her tone didn't go unmissed by me but I ignored it and said okay. As I was about to cut the call I heard a female voice saying bye K and before I can ask further Kensi cut my call. Am I going to ask her who she was with?


(Kensi's P.O.V)

I got a call from her yesterday saying that she is coming to LA and I have to come to the airport to receive her and even though I hate it when she does that, coming here without prior informing me, I kind of missed her. It had been almost a year since I last met with her, or as she says, she last came to LA, yeah I did met her few months ago but it was only for few hours, but it's none of our faults and all the credit goes to the work we do. I like it when she is near me, after all, she is my only family now but I always get protective of her because I don't won't her to get hurt and she understands this, but something was wrong with her when she called me yesterday morning, I tried to talk to her but she sounded angry and said we will talk when she reaches LA. I hope everything is fine and she doesn't find out about my recent trips to Hawaii.

So here I am standing at the airport waiting for her to arrive and suddenly I recognized a similar face with a great figure walking towards me like she always does, but this time she is not waving at me and neither is she smiling. God something is really wrong is the only thought that comes to my mind. So I walk towards her and greet her with a big hug and told her I missed her. I know I am not the person who expresses her feelings and I am not a hugging person at all, but come on she is my little princess and I love her and even though I will never say it out loud, I missed her like hell. I saw she was angry but when I hugged her she forgot everything and smiled to me and said in her beautiful voice, "I missed you too K".

I smiled to her and we start walking towards the car and I asked her reason to come here and suddenly she stops walking. I turned around to see her smile fading away and she gave me the what-the-hell-have-you-done face and I knew I'm the reason for her bad mood. My thoughts were interrupted by her when she yelled at me saying, "What the hell have you been doing in Hawaii K?


(Deeks P.O.V)

(In the car)

Kensi was in my parking lot within 15 minutes as she said she will be. And within a few minutes I joined her in the car and as soon as she saw me she started laughing. You know why? Because I told her that a girl broke up with me last night. I know I shouldn't have, I just gave her a point to laugh on, but trust me I will do anything to make her laugh; it's actually one of the awesome sounds in my life. Also not to forget, her laugh is contagious and soon I am laughing along with her on my miserability. But something is wrong with her, I can say that. Her eyes look like either she has cried or she didn't enjoy her last night's beauty sleep. Her hair is down trying to cover her face, as if she is hiding something. But one thing is sure, she is sad, but I don't say anything and we continue to laugh on me. We were on the way to boatshed when suddenly I realize what I have to ask her.

So I turn my face so that I can see her and I ask, "So princess, who were you with when I called you?"


(Kensi's P.O.V)

(In the boatshed)

I couldn't believe what he said, so I asked him again, "So you've never been dumped?"

To which Deeks replies very heartbrokenly; but proudly, "What part of "never" don't you understand?"

I know I have to act as if I don't believe him although I do but just to keep him on the ground I tell him, "I don't believe you".

Instantly he replies by saying, "Well, that's understandable considering your track record. But honestly, look at me, huh?"

I only manage to say "Oh", what I am thinking is really considering my track record, what do you want to say Deeks?

But he continues and immediately says, "I mean, how you could break up with this, you know? I'm super fun; I'm like 365 days of heaven". So true, the girl must be blind but you know what, I am happy.

Again I don't want him to think I am agreeing with him, so I rudely say, "Heaven? See, I was thinking south and much, much, much hotter". Come on Deeks, you know you are hot.

To which he suddenly added, "So, like, Mexico?" I mean no dirty remark. Deeks, I said hotter, god are you really this sore?

I couldn't withstand him crying over a girl so I mock him by saying, "Let me guess, you're the "senses the breakup, initiates pre-emptive strike" guy."

He doesn't even see that I am mocking him and adds, "Yeah, well, it's much better to be the breaker than the breakee, I think". Wow he is really broken so I mock him again by saying, "You're just broken, Deeks".

To which he really added, "Yeah, well, no argument there. Uh, what are we, what are we doing here? Where are the guys?" Ok, he is really broken. Poor baby. But come on Deeks, it was just a one night stand, why are you pouting so much? And what's with you and questions today? I know you are a detective but you don't have to show off it to me.

Then I reply to his answers, saying, "I don't actually know. I just got a page from Ops to meet here." He is looking here and there and then says, "What, are they hiding? Are you guys hiding, huh? You throwing me a surprise party?"

Now I know he is really heartbroken and is going mad so I start questioning him by saying, "You do know it's not your birthday, right?" But he immediately adds, "Which is why it would be so surprising".

Before I could say more, we are interrupted by Granger over intercom saying, "Agent Blye, could you come in here, please?" To which he suddenly looks at me and asks, "You invited Granger?"

I know now he is in a mood of fun, so I quickly say, "Yeah!" Well he is quicker than me and states, "This is the worst surprise birthday party ever."

We enter the Interrogation room.

Granger is in the interrogation room and he then looks at both of us and tells Deeks, "You can go", and then he looks at me and adds, "And you can have a seat".

Hearing this, Deeks and I look at each other and he suddenly asks me, "You good?" I can see he is worried about me, so just to reassure him, I replied saying, "yeah".

Deeks stares at me for few seconds and then adds, "All right", and saying this he leaves the room.

So I grab the chair but I am interrupted by Granger when he says, "Other side, Agent Blye".

I am shocked, I am trying to understand what he is trying to do, but all my efforts are in vain and thus I tell him that, "Suspects usually sit on the other side".

"Yeah, they do. Sit down," he replies quickly.


(Hetty's POV)

[NCIS office. A phone is ringing…]

I see Mr Callen and Mr Hanna hurry to their desks and Mr Beale is standing at the screen and suddenly Callen asks, "Where's Hetty?" Of course they haven't seen me and before I say something Mr Beale replies by saying, "Not sure, what do you need?" "We need Hetty. Granger is wearing out his welcome" replies Mr Hanna while he's on his cell phone. "You hear anything?" Mr Callen asks worryingly. Now it's Mr Beale who starts worrying and questions, "About what?" To which Mr Hanna replies, "She's not answering her phone".

Before I join them, I see Mr Deeks jolting in very angrily and saying, "Okay, Granger is acting like he's about to go medieval on Kensi in the boatshed". Hearing this Mr Callen questions, "He said what it's about?" "Any other names come up?" comes Mr Hanna's reply. Now Mr Deeks starts getting confused and joins them saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I called you guys for answers. Where is Hetty?"

"Here, Mr Deeks. All of you, upstairs now," I state and suddenly they all look at me and they obey.

Before I join them upstairs my phone rings and there are two messages- one from an hour ago and another one which just came. I open the first message which was from someone I've known for years now, asking,

"Hey Hetty, how are you? Reached LA at 5 am. K was there to pick me up. Talked to her about Hawaii and you were right about it as always but that's more to it and you are not gonna like it. We need to meet. Also brought your favourite tea. Tell me where to come? Love, K".

I look to see Mr Callen, Mr Hanna, Mr Beale and Mr Deeks staring at me and I decide to read the second message later. I go to OPS followed by everyone. As soon as we reach OPS, I hear Mr Hanna asking, "What's Granger up to now?"

Reading the last message I have some idea what all this is about but I am not quite sure, so I reply, "Like you, I can't speculate what the assistant director is up to. Maybe this will shed some light on the situation: Nell…" As I say this Ms Jones puts an ID on the screen and starts debriefing everyone. "Retired Master Sergeant David Blake boarded a military flight from Hawaii and landed at LAX at approximately 1:00 a.m. this morning. He was killed four hours ago in a car accident. His rental car crashed through an on-ramp barrier off the 105 freeway".

"So what's the connection to Kensi?" asks Mr Hanna. To which Nell replies, "In 1997 Blake was part of a sniper training unit. He was the spotter for a sniper by the name of Donald Blye". Listening, the name which is familiar to Mr Beale, he immediately states, "That's Kensi's father."

That's when I say, "Yes. Mr Beale," and order him to, "access the secure server. Open a file-Ghost Recon."

We see a picture of marine and looking at the picture, Mr Deeks immediately adds, "So Kensi comes from a long line of snipers. Who else can say that?" To which Mr Callen further adds, "Still doesn't explain what Granger is up to".

Putting all the points together I think I know what all of this means and what Granger is up too and thus I say to team, "I'm afraid it does. The last person to be in touch with Sergeant Blake before he died was Kensi."

I see Callen and Sam exchanging a look and it suddenly reminds me that I have another message to read. The second message says,

"Hey Hetty, it's me again. I messaged you an hour ago but haven't got any reply. I am trying to call K for the last hour but she is not answering my call. Is everything ok? K"


(Kensi's P.O.V)

[In the boatshed, Interrogation room]

Meanwhile in the Interrogation room, Granger has asked me to hand over my gun and badge to him which are now lying on the table.

After asking me the same question twice, he asks me again, "Explain your order of business while in Hawaii". I am pissed but I am trying to be as cool as possible and answer him, "You have asked me that three times. Repetitive questioning tactic to trip up a suspect-amateur at best!"

Hearing this, Granger smiles slightly and I know that the only way to finish all this is to answer him so I repeat, "Again, my father belonged to a sniper training unit at Camp Lejeune. David Blake was his spotter and good friend. I went to see him because I wanted answers about my father's death."

After hearing the same answer thrice from me, he learns that I am not going to do what he wants me to do so he questions me, "Answers?"

"Yes, answers. Police said my father died in a car accident" I reply immediately. To which he questions, "Drunk driving?"

Here I know there is no escape so I start telling him the whole story. "My dad's brother died because of a drunk driver. There is no way he would have gotten behind the wheel if intoxicated. Investigation was swept under the rug. My dad's unit was disbanded, and everybody walked away like nothing was wrong. I was left with nothing."

"Okay, go on" says Granger.

"After I went to Hawaii...I tracked Blake down, but he claimed he didn't know anything. That's it". Saying this I hope he allows me to go because there is nothing more than that, actually it is.

What he says next, makes me astonished, "Sergeant Blake died in a car accident this morning in Los Angeles". He then looks at me and continues, "Now, if his death turns out to be more than a tragic misfortune, we're going to have a real problem". To which I question, "Why's that"? He replies, "Because you'll be the prime suspect in his murder" as if it is obvious. Actually it is.

Then he stands up and starts leaving. And when I think he is gone I hear him saying, "One last question Miss Blye, Is Dr Blye aware of your trips to Hawaii?"
