AN- just got into NCIS LA and am now in love, this little story came to mind so I thought I would write it down.
She kept checking her rear view mirror as she drove her heart racing waiting for the moment to see another car. She knew she wasn't crazy and every cop she had talked to made it out to seem like she was, no one believed her but she knew she was being followed. It had been like this for months now running and hiding from that man. She shuttered just thinking about him, she had met him and he had seemed perfect in every way. He didn't care she had a young baby and seemed like he would be the perfect guy to settle down with they had moved in together and all had seemed perfect. Only hee began to get possessive and demanding which caused her to back away, only the more she backed away the more he seemed to follow. She knew the reason he was getting away with doing what he did was because he was a detective and no one believed her, it was always his word against hers and his always won out.
He often threatened her, but was careful in the ways he did nothing ever came back on him, so she was left on her own. No one would listen not even her family, they never took her seriously and thought she was just being paranoid or trying to get attention, but that wasn't the case, even her friends thought she was crazy, after all a well off detective who was good looking seemed on paper like the perfect catch.
She felt the tears welling up in her eyes again this was getting to be to much for her everything was to much. This was her last attempt to get away she had to make it to Los Angles because there was one person there who could help her, who might help her perhaps he was the only one that would believe her. He was the only person she knew that might be able to protect her a cop that couldn't be bought.
Headlights flashed in her rear view mirror and her heart race picked up she tried to keep her focus on driving, but she wondered if maybe it was him following her, could he really know she had run? It was two am when she left he shouldn't even be awake right now to know she left.
Glancing at the time she knew any moment the sun would begin to rise, perhaps when the sun lit up the sky she would feel better, yet she doubted it. The only thing that would make her feel safe was to find the one person she had left that would believe her, at least she hoped.
Movement in the back seat caught her eyes, the little figure sleeping in the back seat shifted and his blonde curls fell to the side of his little face. Her heart hurt just thinking about what could happen to her son if something happened to her, the son she was raising on her own because her parents believed she got herself into this mess, they didn't believe in children out of wedlock. They refused to acknowledge their grandson, and she hadn't told the father. By the time she had found out she was pregnant she had already left the father and moved away she didn't see the point in telling him she hadn't wanted to be part of his life anymore she feared his life would put their child in danger. Now she wished she had stayed because it wasn't his life that got her little family into this mess instead it was her life that put her and her son in danger, this was her fault because she fell for a pretty smile her life was in danger.
She always had a weak spot for a pretty smile hence the reason she ended up with a son, his father had the best smile she had ever seen. He had flashed it to her on the beach just once before she went home with him. It had started off as a one-night stand, but had become more. She had fallen in love with him and he claimed to love her, but she knew better. He would never love her, not love her in the way she wanted. He loved another even if he would never admit it. The way he looked at the other girl had hurt because he never looked at her that way. She had walked away in the end even though he begged her to stay. Right now she wished she had, perhaps he would have eventually loved her the way he loved his partner, he would have learned to love her or she would have learned to be ok with the part of his heart that he gave her.
Her eyes went back to the car behind her she couldn't be sure if it was following her or not. Yet panic still tried to push in, she picked up her cell phone and dialed a number, now that she was close maybe she should let him know she was coming. The baby in the back seat let out a cry, which caused her to jump, and the phone fell from her hand. She glanced back to see the boy was waking up she could tell he needed a diaper change. She glanced in her mirror and noticed the car she thought was following her was now gone. She let out a sigh and noticed a gas station up ahead.
Once inside the gas station she smiled and cooed at the baby while she changed him who giggled at his mother. She moved quickly so she could get back on the road and scooped the baby back up in her arms. She stepped outside the bathroom, but froze as she noticed the car that had been behind her was now parked at one of the gas pumps. She slipped back into the bathroom and glanced around she noticed a basket that held extra toilet paper and quickly emptied it. She put the baby inside and arranged the paper around the child so it was hidden. She took out her lipstick and grabbed a paper towel and quickly wrote a number on it and slip the paper into the child's blanket. The baby had already fallen to sleep.
She walked out of the bathroom looking around her hand in her purse on the gun she had bought to protect herself. Her heart was racing as she looked around. She got in her car and was about to turn around when she felt someone's breath behind her.
"Why'd you run kitten?" a man's voice asked behind her.
He had found her, she inhaled quickly and glanced at the door ready to make a run for it.
"Don't even think about it." He said, she heard a click of a gun, "I told you if you ever tried to leave the only way you would was in a body bag. You should have listened."
"Please." She whispered, "I'm sorry."
"You and I could have been happy." He told her, "We would have been so happy. I would have even raised that little bastard of yours as my own and your parents would have welcomed you back with open arms."
"You don't have to do this." She whimpered, "Please."
"Oh I do Kitten." He growled. Then he pulled the trigger and excited the car. He slipped back to his car and smiled knowing he had won. She couldn't leave him, she should have never tried.
"So a baby called you and six in the morning crying?" Kensi asked as she walked into the office with Deeks.
"No." he paused, "Well yes, it was weird."
"What was weird?" Sam asked as the two sat down at their desk.
"A baby called Deeks this morning crying." Kensi told him smirking.
"Someone probably butt dialed me." He told them, "I just have a weird feeling about it."
Just then his phone rang again he glanced down and didn't notice the number and declined it. He turned back to the others and was about to speak again, when once again it rang and once again he ignored it.
"Maybe you should answer that." Kensi told him.
"Last time I answered a number I didn't know it was a baby." Deeks said, "And babies and I just don't do well together."
His phone rang again.
"Answer the phone." Sam told him
Deeks sighed and answered he didn't get to say much as the voice on the other end spoke first. Deeks frowned, why was the LAPD calling him?
"Who is it?" Kensi asked noticing the confused look on her partners face.
"A baby?" Deeks asked as the officer mentioned a child found in a bathroom, "Why are you calling me?"
The others had stopped what they were doing and watched him as he spoke.
"My number? Why did a baby have my number?" he listened for another moment and sighed, "I'll be right out." He hung up and stood up.
"What was that?" Kensi asked.
Deeks shrugged, "A murder at some gas station of a woman they think a car jacking, she had baby stuff in the back seat and now they just found the baby hidden in a bathroom, with my number."
"I'll go with you." Kensi said quickly. Deeks just nodded and left quickly his partner in tow.
o
When they arrived at the crime scene Deeks noticed the car surrounded by police tape. He walked over and flashed his badge
"Mart Deeks." He said, "You called me?" he was about to ask more, but his eyes fell on the woman in the car. His heart fell he knew her. "Katy." He almost whispered. Kensi had walked up and heard him mutter his ex- girlfriends name, the one that had left and broke Deeks heart.
She looked to the car following his eyes and saw the girl slumped over the steering wheel.
"When did this happen?" Deeks asked.
"A little after six this morning." An officer informed, "We thought car jacking."
"You said you found a baby?" Kensi asked.
"Yes." The officer said.
"If she had time to hide a baby then this wasn't random she was running from someone." Kensi told them. "Why else would someone leave a baby in a bathroom."
The officers looked at each other, "She could have been leaving it behind."
"She wouldn't do that." Deeks said finally speaking, "She wasn't that kind of person."
"You knew her?" the officer asked.
"Yeah we dated a while back." Deeks told them.
"That must be why she left your number with him." The officer said looking over to his squad car where a female officer held a crying baby.
Deeks and Kensi looked over at the baby who didn't look much older then a year old. He had fluffy blonde hair that had already started to curl. The two partners walked over and the female handed the baby to Deeks muttering how it had been trying since they found it.
Kensi glanced at the baby then and Deeks, the boy looked just like her partner. "Oh my god." She inhaled.
"What?" Deeks asked.
"Think about it." She told him, "Why would she have them call you?" Kensi's head was spinning, "She was in trouble and wanted him to end up with you."
"Why me?" he asked a little slow to figuring out why his ex girlfriend left his number with her baby.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes." Kensi told him, "How long ago did you two break up?"
"You mean how long ago did she rip my heart out and stomp on it?" Deeks asked.
"Yes."
"Over a year." Then his brain began to understand what she was saying, "Oh no."
"Yes." Kensi said.
Deeks looked at the baby then over at the car shaking his head, "This makes no sense, none. Why would someone kill her, and why would she and I-" he began to ramble, "No-" he glanced at the baby again who still cried, "We are going to solve this case, and find this little guy's father. Yes that is what we are going to do."
"Deeks, maybe you should let the LAPD handle this." She said.
"No." he replied, "I want to find who ever did this, we might not be together anymore, but Kenz I did love her. Loved her more then anyone else."
Kensi glanced down at her feet and back up, "Alright, but the baby."
"He isn't mine, but we will figure out where he belongs." He muttered.
AN-A little something tell me what you guys think.
