A/N: Well writing this chapter took longer then I expected, I always have trouble trying to keep the characters into character and not make them OOC and idk if I did it good enough in this chapter.

I KNOW Deeks is going to be OOC at times because in my mind, he's held all this in for so long and having it all come out and with his mom being back in the picture he's finally breaking so sorry if I make him kind of whiny and crying a lot.

Oh, and thanks to everyone who told me to continue and reviewed!

There weren't many things Kensi couldn't do. But comforting someone, especially someone who went through what Deeks did, was something Kensi couldn't do. She surely had no experience from her past to try and help, but she certainly wouldn't just not try. Then theres the thought of, what if she makes him feel worse?

Once Deeks and Hetty had left, Eric pulled up files. A file on Deeks.

'No one except the people who wrote what is in this file, put the file together, and Hetty has seen this' Eric had said, and Kensi was certainly not prepared for it. Deeks talking about it, without going into great detail was one thing. Seeing all this was another.

In Deeks file was police reports from his fathers abuse, hospital records, statements, pictures which Kensi would have liked to have gone without seeing, then there was the stuff from his mother. There wasn't a bunch of complaints from neighbors, hospital records and pictures of his injuries, or a bunch of statements. Only one thing stood out, and that was when Deeks was at the age of 15.

The team all stood there and read it.

It talked about how he was found in a park curled up against a tree, his clothes were torn and dirty, it seemed as if he hadn't cleaned up in days, and he was barely aware of his surroundings. He was brought to the local hospital where they treated him, checked him over, and cleaned him up. Then they read the hospital report, but Kensi only read the important parts, and it seemed like the words were burned into her brain.

Cuts all over his body

Bruise in the form of a hand on his throat

Rope burns on his wrists as if he was tied up

Bruises the size of handprints on his hips

Signs of sexual intercourse

Flinching whenever touched

Kensi read on, and the more she read, the more sick to her stomach she got. The hospital had written him down as a rape victim, but then Kensi read one of the last lines and was even more sick to her stomach.

The word 'Mine' carved into his inner thigh

Kensi was torn between getting her gun out and shooting whoever did this to Deeks, and finding Deeks to tell him he was still the same ol' Deeks to her, she knew he would think this would change things but it didn't, not for her.

This was Deeks.

HER Deeks.

Without saying anything to anyone, Kensi quickly left Ops.

Callen didn't even bother trying to stop Kensi from leaving, if Hetty wasn't done talking to Deeks that was too bad. All Callen could think about was how if he was honest with himself, Deeks's childhood was worse then his and that wasn't something Callen said lightly. But if one thing was for sure, he would have switched places with Deeks if it meant Deeks had got a better childhood. Callen took protecting his team seriously, they were the only family he had ever known, and Deeks no matter how annoying, was his little brother. Callen will NOT be closing this case without at least beating up one of these bastards. No one hurt his family and got away with it.

Sam, wasn't far from Callen's thoughts. Sam thought of the team as a second family. Sam had some pretty crappy things happen to him, almost died plenty of times but this was something Sam couldn't compare to. For the longest time, he didn't like Deeks. But then Deeks did one of the biggest things you could do to gain his respect and trust, he had protected his wife. A woman who Deeks had only met about two times and knew nothing about. With that, Sam had opened his heart more to Deeks and soon Deeks was the annoying little brother that always was a thorn in his side but someone Sam wouldn't trade for anything, and someone Sam would protect. Sam would catch them, and wouldn't end this without throwing some punches.

"Eric, her address? I doubt she would be there but we should still check it out."

Eric quickly turned to his tablet and tapped the screen for a few seconds.

"Well you might not find her there but you might find her husband."

"Put it on the screen Eric." Sam said, everyone in the room could tell Sam was trying his best to hide his anger.

On the screen appeared a picture of Linda Brandel, there was no denying she was pretty even with the drugs she had gotten into, before the drugs she was probably beautiful and prefect. It was obvious Deeks had got his blonde hair and blue eyes from his mother. Eric then pulled up another picture of a average looking man who you could easily tell had done some 'hardcore' drugs at some point in his life.

"A year after Deeks was found, Linda Brandel changed her name to Linda Kingston after marrying Harris Kingston-" Nell started

"Who had been caught having drugs in his possession multiple times." Eric finished

Eric tapped the screen a few more times again then looked up at Callen and sam, "Address has been sent to your phones."

Sam took out his phone to quickly look at the address, "Crap, G her address is close to Deeks apartment."

"Let's go have a word with her husband, maybe go to Deeks apartment and see if theres any surveillance around his apartment."

Callen nodded his thanks to Eric and Nell then walked out of Ops, Sam right behind him.

000000000000

After Kensi left Ops

Kensi at first wasn't sure where Deeks could be, once downstairs she noticed Hetty was at her desk but seemed to be on the phone arguing with someone so asking Hetty was out of the question.

She looked at Deeks desk which still had his bag, so him leaving the building was out of the question, and she doubt Hetty would allow him to leave right now anyway.

Kensi didn't bother checking the gym, the punching bags were more of Sam's style. Cleaning her weapon was something she would do...

Kensi took one last glance at Hetty still arguing on the phone then started heading towards the shooting range they had, and there staring at a target he had just shot was Deeks. If this wasn't such a bad situation, she would have laughed at the fact Deeks and Callen would go to the same place.

Carefully Kensi opened the door, she could tell Deeks could hear her and knew it was her.

"Hetty already talked to me Kens, you don't have to bother." There was no hiding the sadness in his voice, and something else she couldn't place.

"You're my partner Deeks, of course I'm going to talk to you."

She slowly walked closer and stood next to him, taking a glance at his target to see he had shot the head every time.

"But I'm disgusting, used, a waste of space." Deeks whispered, his voice breaking.

Kensi could swear her heart broke at that, and without even noticing tears had fallen from her eyes. Without thinking about it, Kensi wrapped her arms around Deeks and pulled him toward her tightening her arms when she felt him quickly tense up.

"No, you're my parter. My best friend. None of this changes anything." Kensi whispered, just loud enough for him to hear her.

Deeks slowly wrapped his arms around her, returning the hug and holding her just as tight. She felt his tears on her shirt as he buried his face in her shoulder.

"Promise you won't leave me?" Deeks asked softly

"Sorry partner but you're stuck with me."

Lifting his head from her shoulder, they let go of each other. Deeks mouth lifted into a small smile.

"God, all this crying is pathetic. I pushed it as far back in my mind as I could for so long..."

"When this is all over we are going to sit in my apartment, watch a bunch of stupid funny movies, and stuff our faces with ice cream!"

Deeks chuckled and shook his head at her, "Kens we do that all the time."

"And you love every minute of it!" Kensi grinned at him and headed towards the door.

"Course I do! Sitting on your couch with you hanging all over me, I mean I know it's hard to resist-" Kensi quickly punched Deeks arm cutting off his sentence as he smirked at her

As they walked out of the shooting range, Kensi didn't even bother removing Deeks arm as he wrapped it around her shoulders.

Kensi knew Deeks would probably have a rough time ahead, but she would be with him every step of the way.

She wasn't losing anyone else.

A/N: Sorry if it wasn't that long!
