Deeks is the first to wake up, Kensi still wrapped in his arms. Last night was amazing, even better than he ever imagined it to be. She is all he ever wanted and no words can describe how happy he is they finally had the courage to cross that line. He knows it will be hard sometimes, especially with their jobs but they will manage to get through it, they always do.
Deeks gets awoken from his thoughts when Kensi wakes up.
"Good morning beautiful." Deeks says, placing a kiss on the top of her shoulder.
Kensi turns around, facing him now. She places a kiss on his soft lips. "Good morning." She responds almost whispering.
He pulls her closer, if it is even possible to get her any closer then she already is. She places her head on his chest and he wraps his arms around her. Kensi starts thinking about last night. She can't believe it actually happened, but it was perfect. How they moved in sync, the intense kisses, the sweet touches, everything. It was just perfect. He is all she ever wanted, ever needed and she will not let him go, not ever.
"Kens?" Deeks breaks the silence.
"Yeah?" Kensi responds still half in thoughts about last night.
It takes Deeks some time to carry on, to find his voice to spill out the words he so desperately wants to say.
"I-I love you."
Kensi opens her eyes, lifts her head up from his chest looking him right in the eyes. A smile starts to develop across her face. Deeks brushes away some strokes of hair from her face, tucking it away behind her ear.
"I love you too, Deeks." She finally answers, not losing his gaze while an even bigger smile develops on Deeks' face.
She leans in, cupping his face between her hands and starts kissing him. It's intense, full of love. Love that has been there for several years. Kensi pulls away.
"Come on Casanova, we need to get ready to go to work."
"I know we should .. But I am really enjoying this."
"Trust me, me too. But we can't be late Deeks."
"I know! I hate when you're right."
The doors of the building aren't even closed yet when they already hear Callen shout at them.
"Just in time, a new case just got in!"
Kensi and Deeks throw their bags on their desk and hurry up to Ops.
"Good morning." Eric greets them when they enter the room. "This just came in this morning." He continues.
"Mr. Hutson is a Navy Commander. Three men broke in in his house last night. They turned his house upside-down while he was tied up in his living room. They took a thumb drive with them. They shot the commander and took him with them too. The commander survived the shooting, which means that we need to find him as soon as possible." Hetty informs her team while they watch the footage from last night.
"What's on the thumb drive?" Sam asks.
"That's a very good question." Nell is the first to answer. "Commander Hutson is responsible for several classified missions, that's all we know. Our guess is the information on the thumb drive has something to do with that."
"Now, we looked at surveillance cameras in the area and the black SUV the men took off with turned up at this old warehouse only four blocks away. It's still there." Eric goes on.
"Okay, let's go!" Callen responds making gestures to his team to start moving. "We have no time to lose!"
They are all in position. Callen and Sam take the front, Deeks and Kensi the back.
"Everyone in position?" They hear Sam ask through their earwig. "Now!"
They enter the building which seems to be empty at first sight but when they move further bullets start flying around. There are at least ten men in there, this will be harder than any of them expected. Kensi stops moving when she feels a cold, metal object on the back of her neck. She literally freezes.
"Lower your weapon!" A low but strong voice demands. "And don't do anything stupid!"
Kensi does exactly like the voice says, hoping Deeks will notice soon enough that she's in trouble.
Deeks turns around to see his partner being caught with a weapon pointing in her neck.
"Kens!" Deeks points his weapon at the man holding his partner. "Let her go!"
"I don't think so, there is nothing you can do."
Sam and Callen are still dealing with the other men in front of the building. There is no way they are able to come and help Deeks. He is trapped, three men are pointing a gun at him, there is no way he can get them out of there alive. If he takes the shot to release Kensi he knows he will be a dead man.
"Lower you weapon!" The voice is now demanding Deeks.
"Do it Deeks, please." Kensi is begging him.
Deeks knows there is nothing he can do, the only thing he can do is make sure they don't shoot Kensi right there so he does as they say and puts his gun down.
The group of men, who seem to be Russian mafia, move towards a blue vent, dragging Kensi with them.
"Kensi!" Deeks shouts when they throw her in the vent. "Dammit!"
The vent takes off. At that moment Callen and Sam arrive. "You're good?" Callen asks.
"They have Kensi." Deeks voice is shaking. "And you guys? You're good?"
"Yeah, we took them out." Sam responds.
"And Commander Hutson?" Deeks asks.
'Nowhere to be found."
Deeks feels his morals sink right at the scene. He is supposed to be the one to protect Kensi, to make sure nothing happens to her and now, he doesn't even know where they are taking her. He can't bear the thought of her getting hurt, he needs to find her as soon as possible.
"We need to find them!" Deeks shouts while he starts walking in circles, his hand rubbing the back of his neck.
"We will Deeks, you need to stay calm." Sam responds making a sing to Callen to call Eric.
"Calm? How can I be calm? They have Kensi, my .. my partner." Deeks is struggling to hold his tears.
"I know." Sam responds. "This happened before but we always managed to save her or any other member of the team."
"I know but .." Deeks stops talking. He thinks back at the conversation they had about keeping their thing a secret, at least for now. He doesn't want them to found out like this, he needs to pull himself together, for her. He needs to be professional and do everything in his power to save her.
"But what?" Sam asks. "Is there something you need to tell us?"
"No .. no, it's nothing. We'll .. we'll save her." Deeks answers while nodding his head.
"We got to move!" Callen shouts while he runs towards them, interrupting the conversation Deeks and Sam where having.
"What do we have?" Sam asks.
"Nell and Eric found the vent on traffic cams and surveillance cameras. They entered an old factory three blocks away." Callen informs them while they make their way towards their cars.
The way over to the factory seems to last forever. Deeks can't help but think that every second can be a second to late, Kensi might be dead already. She needs to hold on for him, he will save her.
When they arrive at the factory Deeks jumps out of the car and just goes right in.
"Deeks!" Callen and Sam shout but he doesn't stop, he has to save her.
Callen and Sam follow him in the factory, taking three man down in only seconds. This means there are still two men in there who can jump out of nowhere shooting them all in just the blink of an eye.
"Kensi?" Deeks shouts as loud as he can. "Kensi?"
"Deeks!" The sound of her voice gives him so much courage, so much strength. She's alive, she's alive.
Callen and Sam move towards Deeks. "She's around the corner. I heard her." Deeks whispers to them.
"On my three." Callen says.
They move around the corner, finding a man pointing a machine gun at them but they take him out, shooting him right in the chest.
Kensi is just sitting there in the middle of the room. She's tied up on a chair, blood all over her face. He can see that she received several hard punches, not only in her face and it breaks his heart to see her like this. She looks at him, she looks so tired and he can read the pain in her eyes. He starts running towards her, forgetting the fact that there is still one man in there.
"Deeks, on your three!" Sam shouts all of sudden, pointing his gun at the man targeting Deeks, trying to take him down.
Deeks turns to his right to find a man pointing a gun at him. He lifts his gun, beating the man to it, shooting him twice. One bullet hits him right in the shoulder, the other one right in the chest.
He goes on running towards Kensi, untying her hands, releasing her from the chair she has been caught in.
He helps her to get up from the chair, once she's up she wraps her arms around him planting her head against his chest. He wraps his arms around her shoulders, giving her a kiss on the top of her head.
"You're safe now." Deeks whispers.
"I know." Kensi responds while she snuggles deeper into his arms.
"I was so worried." Deeks goes on.
"Me too." Kensi says while tears escape in the corner of her eyes.
"Since when do you two hug it out?" Callen jokes when they approach them.
They both freeze at the sound of Callen his voice. For a moment they had forgotten Sam and Callen were also there. They lose each other's grip, throwing each other a comforting smile. They know they won't be able to keep this a secret for them, there is just no way. Kensi gives Deeks an approving nod.
"Things have changed." Deeks responds while he throws his arm over Kensi's shouders again, pulling her closer.
"They have, huh?" Callen asks, trying to sound surprised.
"Yeah, they have." Kensi answers, looking up to meet Deeks' gaze.
"We sorta figured." Sam goes on.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Deeks stumbles.
"We always knew you two have something special and when you were freaking out like that because they had taken Kensi it wasn't difficult to figure out something happened between you guys." Sam explains himself while Callen nods, agreeing with his partner.
"Whoa there! I am always worried about my partner!" Deeks defends himself.
"You are, but not like this. It was pretty obvious."
"Okay, fair enough."
"Wait.." Callen interrupts the conversation. "Where is Hutson?"
"He's at home, safe and sound." Kensi responds. "He has been working with the Russian mafia, giving them classified information. People at the Navy started to get suspicious so they made up this plan. He never thought NCIS would get involved."
"Well, that didn't really work out as they planned." Callen frowns.
The team members share a smile, glad everyone is okay.
"Let's take you home Kens. I think you can use some rest, maybe see a doctor." Deeks says while they start walking outside.
"We'll go surprise Hutson at his house and explain what happened to Hetty when we get back." Callen nods at the two.
"Callen?" Kensi asks. "Please don't mention anything about Deeks and I to Hetty?"
"Trust me, Hetty knows. That woman knows everything. But we won't say a thing." He comforts them.
"Thank you!" Kensi and Deeks answer in unison.
"Come on princess, we're going home."
