CHAPTER THREE: ONE I WAS SCARED TO SHOW
Deeks got up and walked over to Kensi. "I'm sorry, but I care too much for you to do this with me. I love you too much for you to do this with me. I'm probably gunna get into a lot of trouble considering I just cut off and walked away from Hetty, but I have to do this. Kensi, I have to for us; for the team." Deeks said. He grabbed her hands and kissed her one last time as the whole team watched, including Hetty. His lips parted from hers and then he kissed her hand and left. Sam and Callen trailed.
"Eric, I want you to get the surveillance feeds from in front of Deeks' apartment and see if anything is suspicious. Sam and I will be a few yards back from the traffic light." Callen said. Hetty walks up.
"We need those tapes, Mr. Beale and Ms. Jones, so anything, anything at all you warn them." Hetty told the two analysts.
"I'm going in guys." Deeks said. Sam, Callen, Eric, Nell, Hetty, and even Kensi heard.
"Wait!" Kensi yelled.
"What Kens?" Deeks asked.
"Deeks, I want you to know, I love you." Kensi said shedding a tear.
"I love you too, Kens. I'm not leaving you." Deeks said. He breaks down his door to his apartment finding not only Usilov and Luski, but another Russian arms dealer. "Hello? Who are you?" Deeks asked. Usilov charged at Deeks with his weapon, but Deeks shot him twice in the abdomen. Luski and the other dealer pulled their weapon too, but Deeks shot them both twice in the chest. "They're all down." Deeks said. A sigh of relief comes from Kensi. Deeks walks up to Luski who is already dead, and puts a bullet between Luski's eyes.
"What was that?" Sam asked hearing another gun shot.
"I took care of something." Deeks said.
"Do you have the tapes?" Callen asked.
"Yeah, pick me up." Deeks replied. It took Sam a good two minutes to go two blocks, but when they got there, Deeks got into the car.
"You got them, Deeks?" Callen asked looking back at him.
"Yeah, just drive." Deeks said. Sam stepped on the gas and headed to mission.
"Deeks? Deeks, we're here." Callen said trying to get his attention. "Deeks!" Callen yelled louder.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm coming." Deeks said. They walked in and Deeks gave the tapes to Hetty.
"Thank you, Mr. Deeks." Hetty said and walked away. He turned around to see Kensi standing ten feet away from him. A few tears rolled down her cheek.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Kens." Deeks said grabbing her and hugging her tight. Callen and Sam didn't bother making a comment. "I'm so sorry." Deeks said and gave her a kiss on the head.
"You scared me to death." Kens sobbed. Deeks separated and picked up her chin with his finger. Deeks' blue eyes were beaming into hers.
"I'm so sorry. I had to save you. I would do anything to keep you safe. It was my fault you got in this mess in the first place." Deeks said. A tear rolled down Kensi cheek. He wiped away with his thumb. Deeks leant down and gave Kensi a kiss, a passion-filled kiss. Kensi kissed back with an equivalent amount of passion if not more.
"Didn't know this was coming?" Callen said handing Sam a $20 bill.
"Ha, me either." Sam replied and gave a little chuckle. Deeks parted from Kensi.
"Mr. Deeks, a moment with you." Hetty asked. Deeks gave Kensi one last kiss and walked towards Hetty's office.
"If you think I'm gunna let Kensi go just because it's against 'policy', I'm not and if I have too, I'll go back to LAPD." Deeks said with an attitude.
"Mr. Deeks, I wanted to tell you that those tapes saved the teams lives. The third man was identified as Fredrik Antovski. He was in charge of Alexei Luski and Viktor Usilov. Now what about going back to LAPD, Mr. Deeks?" Hetty questioned.
"It was nothing. Just please forget about it." Deeks asked getting up from his chair.
"Mr. Deeks, you guys have a new assignment. Meet the team in the bullpen." Hetty said.
"Thanks." Deeks said walking upstairs.
"What do we got?" Deeks asked. He walked over to Kensi, putting his arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple.
"We have a dead Mexican drug dealer, Pedro Garcia-Ramón in the Los Angeles area. His killer is out there. He is a Navy seal who was dishonorably discharged for conduct unbecoming." Callen said. "Deeks, Kens take Garcia-Ramón's apartment; address on your phone. Sam and I have his 'work'." Sam and Callen walk out to their car as do Kensi and Deeks. Sam and Callen pulled out and went to the man's 'work' while Kensi and Deeks went to his place. They wait in front of Pedro's apartment.
"Kensi, I love you. You saw me at a moment where I finally showed my love for you, a dull and sad moment. One I was scared to show. I-I just want you to know that I will do anything for you. I will wait as long as I have to for you to be mine." Deeks said as he grabbed Kensi's hand. Kensi looked at Deeks. They stared into each other's eyes for a good fifteen seconds until Deeks leant over and kissed Kensi and her first reaction wasn't to pull away, but she wanted him as much as she wanted her, but she couldn't.
"Deeks, I love you too and I want you, but we have to work. I promise you that I am yours, now and whenever." Kensi said and kissed him. They parted and got out of the car. They walked up to the door and it was cracked open a little. Deeks pushes the door open.
"LAPD! Coming in!" Deeks yells. A shot was fired and hit Deeks' shoulder, but Kensi fired at the man in Pedro's house killing him instantly.
"DEEKS! Eric, send a bus! Deeks is down." Kensi screamed. One single tear rolled down her cheek as she thought it hit his chest.
"I'm not down, it's my shoulder." Deeks joked.
