A/N 1: This story is dark. Not like the ones I have previously put out.
A/N 2: I rated this story M as it hints at rape, male and female. You've been warned

Chapter 2
As Deeks enters OSP, he hears the quiet. Deciding everyone must be up in ops, he heads upstairs to see if there is any news on who did this to the love of his life. As the doors to ops swoosh open, he sees everyone looking at the big screen. "Did you find anything?" he asks.
"We did Mr. Deeks. We did indeed." Hetty says. "We're running a BOLO right now trying to find them."
"Find who Hetty?" Deeks asks.
"Jack Simon and Nick Sabatino. Sabatino was Jacks handler in the CIA and developed a bond together. They're the ones who did this to you and Kensi. At the moment they have gone to ground. We lost them when they left an underground parking garage where they had abandoned their car. We think that they may have made it to a rather seedy part of the city where there aren't many traffic cams at all. We can only hope that someone spots them and turns them in."
"I know that area Hetty. I've done several undercover ops there. Nobody gets turned in there. It's like the wild west in that area."
"Regardless, we shall find them. Now, what are you doing here? I was told you were going to be in the hospital for a minimum of 24 hours."
"I signed out AMA. They have her sedated and told me she would be out all night. She would want me out there looking. I need to be a part of this Hetty. She's my everything, I need this."
"You need to get back to the hospital Mr. Deeks. If not for yourself, then for Ms. Blye. We'll take care of finding them. Now go!"
Sam follows Deeks out and watches him go downstairs to his desk and locks up his LAPD Badge, I.D. and his gun. Then Sam watches him go to his locker and pull out his .50 Eagle and his leather jacket with hoodie. Sam grins to himself as he watches Max Gentry show up and he fears for the two people they're looking for. If they don't find them before Max does, there won't be anyone to find, and he smiles to himself. Good luck Deeks, he thinks to himself, an eye for an eye.
As Deeks heads down to the more seedier part of LA, he texts Nell and asks her to send him the pictures of the two suspects but to keep it between the two of them. She readily agrees and promptly sends them to his phone. As soon as he reaches the area where Max is known, he leaves the cab and starts looking in the bars. Several bars later, he runs into someone he knows from the past. "Hey monkey. How ya hangin'?"
"Everything is good Max. What brings you out and about?" The man known as Monkey asks.
"I'm lookin' for a couple of fellas that did something to a friend of mine and they deserve payback. I would like to find them ASAP. I'm offering $1000 for any information that guarantees me their location or $5000 if they're delivered to me in chains. I want them bad Monkey and I would consider it a personal favor for the information. And everyone knows that Max Gentry does not hand out favors. That's how bad I want them. And something more, Monkey. I want you to hear every word I say. I want you to tell it to everyone you know. And when you tell it, make them believe it, because I mean every word of it. I'm going to get the people that did this to her. No matter who it is, Monkey, I'll get them. Remember, no matter who it is, I promise. There are lots of people who hate me and you know it. They hate me because if they mess with me I mess them up. I've done it before and I'll do it again."
Inside, he's thinking 'There was so much hate welled up inside me I was ready to blow up, but I turned and looked inside myself at what I had seen laying in my tub. Right then? I felt like saying a prayer, but I was too mad. Now? They're going to pay. You can't hear me right now Kensi, but I wish you could, I want you to hear what I'm about to say. You've known me a long time, Kens. My word is good just as long as I live. I'm going to get the guys that raped you. No matter who it is, Kensi, I'll get them. I promise.'
Max spreads the word all night and in the morning decides to head to the hospital to check on Kensi. Before he goes into her room he stops at the nurses' station and asks if anyone had a paper bag he could use. He needs to put his jacket inside so if Kensi is awake she wouldn't see it and worry. As he goes through the door into her room, her head immediately spins in his direction like she was scared. As soon as she sees him, her eyes fill and she holds her arms out. He hurries to her and holds her, hoping that she will come back to her kick ass self but knows it will take quite a bit of time. The only good thing in all of this, is that she was drugged and unconscious when it happened but even so, she had to have been traumatized by it.
He crawls onto the bed alongside her and holds her in his arms and she lets go. He can feel her tears soak his shirt and he just holds her all that much tighter. She eventually cries herself out and she looks at him with those deep brown eyes and says, "Find them Marty . . . find them and kill them!"
He pulls back to look at her and he can see in her eyes all the pain she is feeling. He makes a vow to himself then and there that he will do whatever she asked of him. But he can't let her know that was his plan all along so he gives her a little story. "Kens, if I find them before anyone else, I'm going to do something to them worse than death. I have a contact in the underground that deals with matters like this. I'm going to give them to him for the diamond and gold mines in Africa. They'll have a true life sentence without any chance of parole. No one will ever know except you and I. Isn't that better than killing them?"
"I want them to feel like I do Marty. They need to pay."
"Princess, this is better than anything else. What better punishment could there ever be? Every day, for the rest of their short lives, all they'll think of is what they did to get them stuck in that mine. And every day, there will be someone there telling them exactly why they are there. I'm going to call it justifiable justice. No one has to die, and we will both feel better about ourselves for not killing them."
"I . . . you're right Marty. It is better than taking their lives. I sure will sleep better knowing they're caught and won't be able to do this to anyone else.
"Princess, try to get some sleep. I need you to get better. I love you Kensi Marie Blye! With everything that I am."
"And I love you Martin Andrew Deeks! You are my life, now and forever."
Shortly thereafter, they both fall asleep in each other's arms and that's how Sam and Callen find them. They just look at each other and then leave, letting them sleep.
Back on the streets, Monkey has spread the word to a few associates who in turn tell others until everyone in the area knows that Max is looking for two guys who hurt a friend of his. Later in the day, a strung out, shaky girl finds Monkey and tells him, "Monkey, those two guys you're looking for? They're staying at my mom's house until they can get outta town. They told her they would only be there for a day or two. Do I get the money now? The $1000?"
"Max has to get them in order for you to get the cash Stella, but I'm pretty sure he'll give it to you tonight or tomorrow. I'll see him later tonight and let him know. You still live over on 3rd. st.?"
"Yes, and I will be home tonight so . . . I'll be waiting." And off she goes.
Monkey is glad they found the guys. It's never pleasant when Max is out looking for someone. People normally get hurt.
