We arrived to Ops and headed up the stairs in silence, I can't tell what he's thinking. But I have a feeling he's thinking about my comment from before. I was gonna say something but right now was not the time or place. I walked through the door as I heard the familiar whoosh.

"Alright guys, what's up?"

"Hey Kens, we've had a murder in Venice, Petty Officer Mark Ballice. Shot twice in the back of the head." said Nell. "LAPD has recovered both bullets, and the murder weapon and they're in transit to us now.

Eric cut in "Petty Officer Ballice specialized in Navy Intelligence and was working on a secret project."

"Do we know what the project is?" asked Callen.

"No clue yet. I'm still working on getting the details sent over. We should have them soon." said Nell.

Sam asked "Okay. Well what was his project manager's name? Maybe we can ask him a couple questions and see what happens."

"Captain Hunter Silverman." Eric said

"OH, Kens and I call going to the crime scene!" Everyone in the room turned and looked at Deeks. "What? We have to make sure we get to do the cool fun stuff." He said winking at me.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah Deeks, cause looking at dead bodies, blood and talking to the family members is definitely classified as fun stuff"

"Oh, well if you talk about the negative stuff, of course it won't be any fun." The whole team groaned. Deeks really needs to gain perspective. I mean there is seriously nothing fun about a crime scene.

Just then, Eric pulled up a picture of Captain Hunter. Who, by the way, turned out to be a blonde with really pretty blue eyes with a stern and serious expression on her face. Great just what I, I mean we, needed. I looked at Eric and then looked around the Ops center; everyone was trying not to laugh. Callen and Sam were trying really hard not to laugh and were elbowing one another. Nell had a smug smile on her face and was looking directly at me. I avoided her gaze and looked at Eric; he just had his signature lopsided grin on his face.

Either everyone was looking at Deeks, or me, or both. I looked over my shoulder to Deeks who was standing on the opposite side of the Ops island. He stood looking at the big screen with his mouth wide open. I squinted my eyes and crossed my arms, why the hell is he looking at her like that?

He looked me straight in the eyes; I clenched my teeth and waited for him to say exactly what I know he would. He looked away from me, and looked at Callen and Sam.

"Can we please trade?" I knew he would say that. I heard a snicker from my side. I looked over and saw Nell sitting in her chair and taking a sudden interest in her hands. I turned back to Callen and Sam, who were busy smirking and looking at Deeks.

"Well Deeks, you did call crime scene. You can't un-call something like that." said Callen. "Besides, I wanna meet her too."

Deeks scoffed and muttered under his breath about something that suspiciously sounded about old people and chances.

"Alright, Romeo lets go." I said.

He looked at me in astonishment "What? Where? Are we gonna go see the Captain? Aw you're the best partner ever!"

I punched his shoulder. "Don't be ridiculous, we're going to the crime scene." He opened his mouth to say something again, when Nell interrupted, "By the way guys, make a pit stop at the family's house too, you might find out something useful as well." Eric jumped in adding "Address is on your phones guys."

"Great, thanks guys" I grumbled. Deeks was already whining about his bad luck. I dragged him by his arm out of Ops and looked at my phone for the address. The crime scene is near Venice Beach. I stomped down the stairs, and went through the doors to the car. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or anything just I don't know curious maybe? Deeks gets on my nerves too much, I'm just overreacting, and nothing about his personal life should affect me. It's none of my business anyway.

"Hey Fern, you're jealous is showin."

I spun on my heel, and marched right up to him. "What exactly do you mean by that? I'm not jealous." The nerve of him to say that! It's absolute craziness.

"N-Nothing Fern, I just meant…"

"Yes. I'm waiting."

"Uh, you just seem a little, out of character…?"

"Deeks. I'm warning you don't go there."

"Hey you're the one who wanted to know!"

I turned back around and got in the car. "Get in Deeks." He got in and stared out the window.

I reversed and pulled out of the parking spot. I looked at the road and clenched the wheel. Why was I being all, personal and ugh emotional. I guess I need to lighten the mood.

"I'm sorry, it's been one of those days ya know?" I said as I looked over.

"Hm? Yeah its ok, do you think they'll be a cute LAPD detective?" leave it to Deeks to say something stupid.

"Maybe Deeks, you never know. You know now that I think about it, we should've gone to talk to the Captain."

Deeks looked at me in surprise and confusion, "Now why is that? Fern is there is something you wanna tell me?"

"Funny, no if it means getting you to stop whining we should've gone. Maybe you and Captain Silverman would've hit it off." I winked at him and looked at the road again. "Kens, she's probably not that great anyway, after all she is military and we all know what those can be like."

My eyebrows scrunched and I couldn't help but feel a little lighter, I still went on to stare at the road, "What's that supposed to mean? You suddenly loose interest in girls?"

"Oh not at all, in fact I have a couple girls in my mind for future events."

I whipped my head at him and caught him giving me a wink "Ew Deeks, I do not wanna know. How can you think of that?"

"I'm a guy remember? I'm entitled to think like this."

"Whatever, we're almost there." Just then my phone vibrated. I reached over and tried to grab it to look at the text I'd gotten.

"Kensi focus on the road, you're a bad driver as it is."

"Hey!"

"It's true! Here I'll check it for you."

"Who said you were allowed to look at my phone, who's it from?"

Deeks didn't respond and continued to stare at the phone reading the text. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Deeks tell me!"

"Nell." He went back to staring at the phone smiling widely at the phone.

"Well what does it say?"

"Nothing!" he said quickly.

"Well Deeks it obviously says something otherwise she wouldn't have sent it. What does it say?"

Deeks started giggling. Actually giggling. "Kensi's got a little crush." He sang it as if we were in the 2nd grade.

"Wait what?! What on earth are you talking about? I don't like anyone!"

"Not according to Nell."
