Deeks' Birthday

It was a slow day without any cases. Kensi was back from Afghanistan but she had changed. Before Afghanistan she was patient and slow in the advancement of her relationship with Deeks but now she was trying her hardest to further it. She was encumbered though by Deeks becoming a cold hard shell of his old self. He had learned the truth about Afghanistan. About how she gave herself up willingly to the Taliban to be able to talk to Jack with no regard for how everyone else would feel if they had killed her on sight. He probably would have never known the truth if it wasn't for his only remaining friend at OPS, Nell. Apparently everyone knew but had refused to tell him as they didn't want to hurt Kensi's feelings. It was around five in the afternoon (17h00) and everyone was preparing to leave. So far only Hetty and Nell had wished Deeks a happy birthday and given him presents when the last person he expected to see walk into the bullpen appeared. It was Shay. In her hands was a wrapped gift for Deeks and a slice of tiramisu, his favourite cake. "Shay?" asked Deeks warily. "Yep" she answered. "Happy birthday Deeks I hope everyone helped you enjoy your day unlike last year and by the way you were accepted with immediate effect. So in light of your special day and acceptance I was thinking that a celebratory dinner was in order" Shay said excitedly. "Thanks for everything Shay and sure. What about The Daniel at seven" asked Marty? "Of course, it's like tradition."


Later at 7 but not at The Daniel Shay and Deeks arrived for their dinner reservation. The restaurant was a restaurant that specialised in French cuisine and it was called Le Montpellier. It was an evening to celebrate, not just Marty's birthday but to Shay's NCIS team in New York. He had already served his notice time at the LAPD and most of his stuff was packed and ready to go. Only Nell knew that Deeks was leaving and when he told her she was completely devastated as Deeks was the one who really helped her settle in when she felt completely alone in LA. She was also moving but to the CIA branch in New York City so at least she would know one person there. Nell was sad to be leaving but she was not willing to be part of a team where they treated one member as sub-human. To hear that Deeks was lucky enough to be accepted with immediate effect was saddening as he was the only person she could truly relate to and she still had to stay for another two weeks.


At Le Montpellier, Deeks and Shay were reminiscing about old times and telling each other new stories from their current lives. Deeks mostly focused on his soon-to-be former team's dynamics. About how usually he would be teased so often it could be regarded as verbal abuse. He also talked on how specific members were not able to trust him or didn't care about him even though he had saved their lives multiple times. On the other hand, Shay focused on the dynamics of the New York team and how basically they all had their back stories that connected them as a family like blood. Although she had some bad news she had to report as there was a new rule instated by the SevNav about how the best team from LA, Washington (Gibbs' team) and New York had to meet once a month to discuss arising threats. As Shay could see that Deeks was looking slightly shaken she changed the direction of the conversation to some lighter topics. Dinner soon came to an end though and as they left to head back to Deeks' house where Shay was staying neither of them noticed the two cars trailing them.
