A/N: this is my first NCIS LA fanfic, if anyone has any prompts/ideas feel free to send them my way :)
She waits patiently, her breathing slow and even as she anticipants the perfect moment to strike. Adrenalin fills her veins, heightening her senses-though it's unnecessary considering she has the perfect vantage point, staked out for over a week and vetted thoroughly. She allows herself a moment of satisfaction, after all her plan was so fool proof even Hetty would be proud of it before she pushes it back, reminding herself that a plan is only as good as it's execution (and oddly enough the voice in her head sounds suspiciously like Hetty.)
Her target enters her line of sight and a smile that her colleagues could only describe as sinister graces her lips. She tenses, muscles poised for attack as her target-oblivious to the danger he's in casually makes his way towards the spot she's concealed in.
"Wait for it…" Sam whispers.
"Here it comes" Callen responds. They watch with eager eyes as Kensi, who had been hiding behind the corner jumps out in front of Deeks. He shrieks, jumping at least a foot in the air, the pink frothy milkshake he had been holding spilling all over his white shirt. Kensi bursts out laughing and Callen looks up, getting a thumbs up from Eric and Nell, who had been recording the whole thing.
"What was that?" Kensi asks between bubbles of laughter. Deeks glares at her but it has no effect.
"You mean you scaring the crap out of me?" he realises a second too late he probably shouldn't have said that but it's too late, Callen and Sam are already giving him looks.
"No, that unmanly yelp and acrobatic move" She replies teasingly. He sighs, wiping at his shirt which is rapidly becoming a lost cause.
"It was nothing" he mumbles and Kensi gives him her best 'sure Deeks, whatever you say' look. Having been on the receiving end of it more than a few times it has little effect. A whistle rings out and the team look up at Eric, who jerks a thumb in the direction of Ops. One by one they slowly trudge upstairs, each person giving Deeks a look as they pass him.
"Something the matter?" Hetty asks, standing behind Deeks after he fails to follow the rest of the team up. He jumps slightly before clearing his throat. The rest of the team watch him expectantly from the top of the landing. Apparently he's today's entertainment.
"Just looking for my dignity, I think Kensi left it around here somewhere." He says. The laughter follows him all the way to Ops.
