Ok this is gonna be dark or for a chapter or 2. We'll see where it goes. Takes place after they save Sam and G from the Sub. They both hug Kensi and thank her and then head home. Chapter 1 is long but needed to set up the next few

What they all heard

Deeks walked into OPS hoping for a quiet day. He was thinking the same things he always has. Why is she not

asking me what's wrong? Do they want me full time? I gotta make a decision. When he walked in Granger walked into

the bull pen with Nell and, of all people Jack Simon. He cleared his throat and started "Listen up agents. Director Vance

and I are in agreement to stand up a 3rd team. Mr. Deeks you will partner with Ms. Jones. You have worked together

before and Ms. Blye you will partner with agent Simon as you have 'experience being with him' and all teams should be

up and running immediately. Deeks looked at Granger then Kensi. She was looking at her desk.

"Kensi, are you ok with this" Deeks asked almost pleading her to speak. She just hung her head and said nothing.

Deeks POV

What the hell? Why is this happening? Why didn't he talk to Kensi and/or I and give us a choice or talk to the

whole team? Does he want me out? Maybe I should talk to DEA or FBI- -I gotta find someplace I'm wanted and

accepted. Damn Kensi I gave you so many hints and you ignored them.

Sam's POV

Damn it what is Granger doing? Why isn't Kensi fighting this? Doesn't she know what he has done for her and

means to the team? He talked to me about what he did in Afghanistan (torture) but he pulled up short. Don't they

realize that he saved us all including Granger and Sabatino? He's worried he can't be a father as he'll turn into his dad.

That's also keeping him away from Kensi. He's afraid he'll hurt her too. Good grief, he wouldn't hurt her if his life

depended on it but she has to be the one to make him understand that. He gave her 4+ years to come around and she

can't even fight for him to stay as her partner? Why weren't we all consulted?

Nell's POV

I may have just lost a close friend in Deeks. She isn't even fighting for him. She's hanging Deeks out to dry.

Why? Now I am disappointed in her.

G's POV

Deeks is the best thing to happen to us. Why haven't I said something? Why didn't Granger talk to me at least?

Kensi's POV

He really did it. I can't force myself to say anything, but why. My god look at him. This could be the final blow.

He has been struggling since I came back. I have been giving him space like he did me. Should I have said something?

He is like a little boy that just had his puppy run over. It's breaking my heart. Why didn't he talk to me? How can I stand

this situation? Guess I'm gonna have to try and make this work as I don't see any options.

Grangers pov

I gave Blye the choice a week ago. I told her I would ensure Deeks became and agent. That's a promise Hetti

Extracted from me before she left. I want the current 4 together. They are frustrating but they are the very best. Lately it

seems like she and Deeks are struggling. I hoped this would give her the push to talk to him. The translator filed a report

on the water boarding that "vanished". Deeks did what he had to and saved everyone. That was the mission and orders

were at ANY cost. I told him he did good. He would get a commendation if he were an agent. But until he hears it from

G, Sam, and her he won't buy it. Dam those 3. They are hanging a good man out to dry. Why hasn't she spoken up?

Simon's POV

I'm in. Now to get things set up and everything and everyone in place. Maybe I can get a lucky to boot.

As Kensi looked down, Deeks looked at Sam and G, even Nell. "Really guys? Not a damn word? Guess that tells

me where I stand with you all and my partner (air quotes) really made her feelings clear." He fairly shouts at her "I WAS

2ND CHOICE ALL ALONG, A TOY TO PASS THE TIME WITH!" That shocked her and she looked up at him. Then she looked

at Sam and G and turned to look at Nell who made it official by turning her back on Kensi. She ran out of the room.

No one moved or said anything for a second as they stared at each other and Granger. No one noticed the smirk

that flashed across Jack's face as he watched everything unfold.

Deeks stood up and said "Guess that cinches it. The votes are counted-all against and none for. I have been

contacted by the FBI, CIA, DEA, and DIA about working for them lately. Lt. Bates has offered me my own unit in major

crimes. At least someone wants me. I will be in early tomorrow to clear my stuff out and turn in the keys etc. I expect

the keys to my bike to be on my desk as I will take it home. If I see any signs of any of you I will not come in. You can

keep my stuff. Just leave the bike and keys out front. I will leave the key." With that he walked over, got "the box"

from Kensi, took it to her desk, slammed it down and said "to Kensi and each one of the rest of you, please put this in a

place where the light don't shine, then go to hell. Oh and you can burn those papers Granger the elite 3 have spoken."

With that he glared at Jack, pushed Granger almost to the point of falling and left. At that point Granger commented

"Really well handled everyone. Have fun with the results." He then turned and almost knocked Nell over as he stomped

off.
