Here's chapter two! I'm so sorry it took so long to put up. Darn school took over my life. Grr...
Anywhoo... I don't own anything you recognize!
On with the story! :D
"So watcha got Eric?" Callen asked as everybody walked into the tech room, the many screens giving the place and eerie blue glow.
"Petty Officers Emma and Eliza Stanton were found dead in an alley behind a local bar. We believe them to be the victims of a serial killer who targets female twins." Eric said putting picture and video footage up on the screen. "We believe that he sees them, stalks them, then kills 'em."
"Do we have any ID on the killer?"
"No, but all the women visited south beach in the days before they died."
"Ok. Thanks Eric. Girl it looks like we're going swimming."
"Joy." Kaitlyn said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Oh come on Sis. You love the beach." Kensi said as the all walked to the costume closet.
"Not as much as I used to Ki."
"Kensi, Kaitlyn, your outfits are behind that screen over there. Mr. Callen and Mr. Hanna yours are behind those." Hetty said as she walked into the room.
"Uh Hetty?"
"Yes Kaitlyn?'
"You wouldn't happen to have a one piece would you?"
"I do but it's not your size, sorry."
"Crap, fine." she walked behind the screen and changed into black and green swimsuit bottoms and some white shorts. She began to put on the black swimsuit as she waited for the gasp of shock she knew was going to come.
"Oh Kate!" Kensi exclaimed as she saw the four bullet scars on her sisters back for the first time, "What happened?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Kaitlyn said pulling away when Kensi touched her arm.
"That's a load a bull and you know it. Now tell me what happened."
"No." Kensi grabbed her shoulder and spun her around to face her. That's when she saw it. The long, jagged scar that ran from Kaitlyn's right shoulder diagonally to her left hip and disappeared inside the waistband of her shorts. The line was extremely pale and stuck out against her tan skin.
"I tried to avoid this." Kaitlyn said pulling her pink shirt down and walking back out into the open.
"Avoid what?" asked Sam from the couch he was sitting on, wearing black baggy shorts, gym shoes, and a tight fitting red tee shirt.
"Nothing." she said looking at her feet.
"You're a terrible liar."
"No, I lie for a living. You have always been lucky at reading me."
"Exactly, now what were you trying to avoid?"
"I'm not telling you." She said starting to walk away. Sam grabbed her hand and pulled her back towards him. Kaitlyn quickly looked back down at her feet, afraid to look at him.
"Fine. I'll ask Kensi." he threatened taking a step closer to her. He placed a finger under her chin, forcing her to look up at him. Kaitlyn took a slight step back surprised at how close they were.
"Just drop it. Please?" she begged quietly, her eyes searching his.
Kaitlyn suddenly became aware of the fact that a single step could bring their lips crashing together. They both, more than anything, wanted to restart the fire that they knew was there under the surface. In order for Sam not to do exactly that he opted for wrapping his arms around her and tucking her head under his chin. Somebody cleared their throat breaking the spell and making them jump apart guiltily.
"Uh, Callen said come and get your cameras and mics." Nate said from where he was leaning against the door, staring at them intently. The weight of his steady gaze made Kaitlyn squirm and Sam frown slightly.
"Get out of my head Nate." Sam said walking brushing past him with Kaitlyn following behind him.
"Nice to see you again Nate." She said stopping next to him, he slung a casual arm around her shoulders.
"You do know that you don't have to be afraid anymore. Sam's one of the good guys."
"I know that. It's just very complicated."
"Ah, I see," He said placing a kiss on her forehead "I missed you."
They both headed toward the tech room so she could get her equipment. Once there, Eric walked in carrying to small containers in his hand.
"Ok, so these mics and cameras are both waterproof. So feel free to swim." he said with a proud look in his face. He handed them to the girls so they can put them on. Both of their cameras were on a small cross on a delicate gold chain.
"Kens, Kaitlyn you guys are just gonna chill and scan the crowd. Sam and I are going to be close so you guys don't have to worry about much. If need be, there will be a gun in each of you beach bags. Eric and Nell are going to cover us with street cams, same with Nate." Callen explained, "Everybody good?"
He was answered with various forms of yeses.
"Ok. Let's head out."
"I'll meet you guys outside. I need to grab something really fast." Kaitlyn said running down the stairs and disappeared down the hallway.
"Uh, ok." said Callen looking after her confused as the rest of them shuffled outside to the parking lot. A couple minutes later Kaitlyn reappeared carrying a black and blue guitar case.
"You have your guitar?" Kensi asked shocked.
"Yeah. I always have it with me." replied Kaitlyn.
"Man I haven't played on in a while."
"Wait," Callen interrupted "You guys can play guitar?"
"Yep, Kaitlyn can sing to." Kensi explained.
"Oh cool. Maybe you can sing for us one day." Sam said walking up to the group.
"You've heard me before, remember?"
"Oh I remember, you singing all the time kinda got annoyin'"
"Shut up Sammie." she growled blushing.
"Make me." he laughed walking to the driver's side of his car.
"I hate you. Ya know that right?" she yelled at him.
"Nope. You love me!" he said getting in the car.
He's right I do love him. I never stopped.
What she didn't know was that Sam was thinking something along those very lines.
Well... Whaddya think? Please review and tell me.
Until next time ya'll!
