"Kensi, don't even think about it." Sam warned. She snorted before running down the alley, heading straight for the marine with a knife. "She thought about it, didn't she?" Sam asked over comms. "I'll bet you she even did it." She laughed in delight as she met the marine in the middle, aiming a high kick at his chest. He barely managed to dodge it before she aimed a punch in his face. She heard a crunch and blood spurted from his newly broken nose, causing him to drop the knife as he clutched his face. With his face covered, she kicked him in the groin and once he was on his knees, she slammed his head into her raised knee. He dropped to the ground unconscious.

"Kensi, you good?" Callen asked over comms as they were still trying to catch up with the marine.

"Kens?" Deeks asked when she didn't answer Callen but instead rolled over and cuffed Lance Corporal Smith. "Dammit Kensi, answer me." Deeks shouted. He rarely raised his voice, but in the past few weeks he had been doing it a lot more, and mainly to her. She sighed.

"Yes, i'm fine, sheesh." She muttered, dusting off her knees as she stood up. There were grumbles and curses about her, but she ignored them. Minutes later, they all ran into the alley, Deeks leading them and covered in cuts. Her eyes widened as she took in the state of him and she stepped forward to meet him. "Oh my gosh, Deeks, are you-"

"Are you off your goddamn rocker?!" He shouted, interrupting her. "I don't know what the hell has gotten into you, but it has to stop! One of these days, you are going to get yourself killed!" Callen and Sam also stood behind him covered in cuts, and wearing faces of thunder. She ignored them and focused on Deeks.

"How bad are you hurt?" She asked, cupping one of his cheeks and looking for any major cuts. He faltered in his rant and stared at her as if she just turned into a monkey, but didn't answer her. She stepped closer and cupped his other cheek. "Are you okay?" He mumbled an agreement, his eyes focused on her lips that were centimetres from his own. She bit her lower lip in anticipation, but instead seemed to knock him out of his daze and he pushed her away from him.

"Get your shit together Blye, i'm fed up of being the partner to a suicidal maniac. I'll always have your back but half the times that i'm doing it, is purely unnecessary." He stormed off and was soon followed by the two senior agents, leaving her alone with the marine nearly twice her size.

"Am i meant to drag his ass to the car?" She asked over comms, noticing that she caused G and Sam to falter and look at each other. She heard them sigh before turning around and carrying him back to their car without a glance or a word to Kensi.


"Ms Blye, a word." Hetty called, the moment the team sat down for paperwork. Kensi sighed and with a curious glance from the team, headed to her desk. "Your behaviour and actions in the past few weeks have been out of control. What has gotten into you?" Hetty exclaimed once Kensi was sat down. She sighed.

"Nothing." Hetty sighed as well, taking a sip of her tea before placing the cup delicately on the saucer and giving her a look. Kensi nodded in understanding.

"Let's go out with a bang Hetty."

"Your actions are nothing to be proud of Ms Blye, you could have gotten yourself and your friends killed on numerous occasions. I can't accept this behaviour from anyone on my team and you know it. This has been happening for weeks now and you won't open up to anyone but you know that it has to stop." Kensi stood up in a rage and slammed her hands on Hetty's desk. Credit, Hetty neither jumped nor blinked.

"Dammit Hetty, i have caught so many criminals in a shorter period by taking these risks, they needed to be taken." Hetty stood up and faced Kensi off.

"They needed to be taken with the correct care and planning, as well as the communication with your team and partner Ms Blye." Kensi opened her mouth to respond but was cut off. "You have an hour to turn in your badge and gun, as well as packing up your things and alerting your team. You can go now Kensi." Kensi turned around and walked towards her desk but stopped and turned back to face her.

"You are making a huge mistake Hetty." Kensi shouted, her arms flung wide.

"No Ms Blye, it is you that is making the mistake." Kensi noticed Eric and Nell standing at the top of the stairs, obviously curious about the commotion. She also sensed movement behind her and guessed that the rest of the team, too, joined in the watching to feed their curiousity.

"Well then Ms Lange," she responded sarcastically. "I guess i'll just speed this up, no need to spare an hour." She turned around and abruptly stopped when she nearly bumped into Callen.

"Kens, talk to us." She frowned and shoved past him but he grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. "We're your family, and family talk." She laughed sarcastically, pulling her arm free.

"Family? Callen, what do you know about family? You have no family." She shouted. His face fell and she almost didn't see the sadness and anger at her words as his face became a blank canvas, but she saw it in his eyes. She carried on to her desk and and grabbed her gun and badge, giving it to Sam whilst picking up her bag from the floor. "Look after them big guy, newbie will probably need them." She patted him on the chest before walking to the bottom of the stairs and throwing her phone up, where Nell fumbled with it before catching it and holding it close. "See ya whizz kids." She called with a mocking salute. She then turned to Deeks and quickly pulled him into a passionate kiss, catching everyone and himself by surprise. Just as he started to respond, she pulled away. "Surf's up beach boy." She murmured before walking out of OSP and out of their lives.
