I Need You Now
By pallysjr
Callen goes searching for Kensi where he finds her in the workout room standing by the climbing wall. Slowly, he saunters over to her, not quite knowing what to say. All he can think of is how she's feeling. "Kens, you wanna talk?"
"No, I don't." The pain clear in her voice but still she stays strong. Kensi looks at him, the second she does he can tell she's masking the hurt. He knew that for some people that was ok and it helped, but for Kensi that was probably the worst thing possible. She could snap at any second, turn against them all, hold a grudge for weeks on end. All making her the most unpredictable.
"Kensi, what did Deeks say that upset you?"
She turned away, not wanting to see the sympathy in his eyes, because Kensi Blye does not do sympathy. "Nothing, Callen, ok." And when the words escaped her mouth, Kensi wanted nothing more than this conversation to end. She should have known though, this is G. Her team leader. Her big brother, and he cared for her.
"You two are close sometimes, I wonder if it's too close." Callen wasn't one to hold back, especially if it would affect the work of his team.
At his words, Kensi turned around and looked directly into his eyes, emitting a look that could kill. "I'm going to forget you said that." Without a second to spare, she spun on her heels and walked off without ever looking back.
Callen just stood, his mind contemplating about what to make of the situation, and what to make of what was going in between the two of them. He stands there, still, for a couple minutes trying to make some sense of what just happened but eventually just heads back to the bull pen, making sure to remember to come back to the tense situation.
He shuffled back to the bull pen, Sam and Todd were still sat at their desks, piled high with reports. Reaching his chair, he sat and continued filling out reports, all eyes then turned towards him. Sam was the first to break the uneasy silence.
"Where's Kensi?"
"She took off." Not knowing what else to say G turned to face Todd. "Todd go ahead, call it a night just make sure to be here 9:30 sharp."
Grabbing his jacket and packing away, he let out a simple reply. One of which Callen was grateful for. "Ok, see you guys later. Night!"
With that he silently dismissed himself and walked out the door. The scent of burning rubber danced into his nose whilst the sight of Kensi screeching out of the parking lot caused concern. Not knowing what was going on Todd followed her and continued until the end destination.
The next morning Deeks wakes up around 6, his head is pounding. He gets out of the bed. The room spins viciously, all he can do is try to concentrate, but without knowing just what direction he was facing he just couldn't stop swaying.
"Ok, anytime you want to stop spinning would be great." He knows that no one is there but he just couldn't give a damn whilst his head was in this state.
Slowly, he collapses out of the bed and goes into bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror, his face is still bruised but looking better. His eyes, puffy, red, all blood shot. He has one hell of a hangover, there's no argument there. "Really, did you have to drink nearly the whole bottle" Shrugging he continues talking to himself. "well or not I'm running on the beach."
He changes in to some sweats and blue short sleeve t shirt, after he does some of his regular stretches. It takes nearly all his strength just to stop him from throwing up. "Oh God that hurts!" After 10 minutes of pain, he heads outside. The light blinding him in an instant. Taking a moment to adjust to the intense light he ties his shoes. He looks around no one is really out about yet. "Ok Deeks, let's do this nice and easy..." He begins on a steady, slow jog down the path to beach.
He runs about 2 miles and wishes he hadn't. His chest and side hurt like hell, not to mention his head feels like he's being pounded into a concrete wall with every stride. He decides he better just walk the rest of the way back.
He's on the footpath heading into the trees when a sudden scream from a women entered his ears.
He looks around but can't see anyone, carefully listening to where the scream came from. He reaches behind his back and lifts his shirt up and pulls out his gun. Then, yells for help are heard and he runs towards the cries.
"Someone Help me! Please Help!" The anonymous voice pleaded.
Deeks ran like an Olympic sprinter down the path of trees till he gets closer to the source of sound. He stops and takes cover by a tree trunk, counting; one, two, three in his head he rose from his cover. Charging out with his gun drawn in from of him, he announces who he is.
"L.A.P.D don't move" Scanning the immediate area he looks down to the ground and sees a beautiful brunette holding her hand out as to deflect a bullet.
"Don't shoot please!"
Deeks continued to scan the area trying to discover if anyone is around. He doesn't see anyone. Deciding its safe, he puts his gun back in his back holster. He started running to the woman.
Attempting to calm down from the adrenaline rush, he shakily asks "Is someone else with you? What happened?"
"No, I'm alone, I was running and twisted my ankle" Slowly lowering to his knees he leans down on the back of his heels.
"I'm going to take a look ok. I'll try not to hurt it anymore then I have too ok?"
She merely nods. He touches her ankle with the gentlest of touches, still she winces as he moves his hand around it. Carefully, he sets it down onto the ground. "I don't think it's broken."
Sheltered by a tree from the morning rays, the light wasn't very bright. He removed shades, placing them on top of the waves of golden curls that framed his face. She gets a good look at him and instantly she sees his bruises that spread across his body, he looks at her with intensity, and she just stairs into his deep blue eyes.
The woman was in a trance, from just one look into his eyes, but the bruises that covered him kept her from dreaming. "You said L.A.P.D and had your gun drawn. Are you really an L.A.P.D police officer?"
Deeks can't help but give a small chuckle, it always seems to surprise him whenever he's asked if he is a cop. "Yeah, detective Marty Deeks at your service." He attempts a little humor and offers one of his best smiles, trying to put her at ease. He pulls out his badge and hands it to her, she can't help but smile as she sees that the picture looks so serious compared to the man infringing of her.
"I'm sorry I may have freighted you, it's just natural to me." He smiles again and she offers one back whilst handing his badge back to him, he slides it back in his back pocket.
"Its ok I understand. I'm Riley Lisbon by the way."
"Well, Riley, how about this for a deal; I take you my cabin and I'll get a better look at that ankle, why you get to be carried by yours truly and eat some ice cream later! What do you say?"
Now it's Riley's turn to let out a giggle, it seemed that he could always make someone laugh when they needed it the most.
"Ok, I'll take it."
Deeks began to move around her, getting into a position that would allow him to lift her up with minimal pain. "Ok, I'm going to lift you up, if you feel any pain at all tell me right away and I'll stop alright."
Riley looks at him, offers a smile and nods.
"Ok, here we go."
Ever so carefully, he lifts her up and lets her fall into a comfy position. She wraps her arms around his neck. Deeks just smiles trying to put her at ease.
He continues back to his cabin, walking as fast as he can, but as he looks down at Riley her eyes are already closed. He hopes she's ok.
Carrying the brunette back, his mind darts to the reminiscence of Kensi, she may have been a little bit younger then Kensi but she was just as beautiful. Trying to clear his head of Kensi, he walks as fast as he can to his cabin thinking it'll shake away the thoughts. By the time he reaches the door, all he thinks about is Riley's well being. He opens the door to his neat little cabin and enters heading directly for the couch, where he gently places her down.
They didn't speak for the little time back to his cabin, but inside he needed to wake her up and check she's ok. "Riley, you still with me?"
Her reply was muffled but he could still hear her. "Yeah, sorry just tired I guess..."
Deeks' concern grew about her well being, he wasn't there to see her fall and with her falling asleep he was afraid she could have hit her head on her way down. "Did you hit your head at all?"
"I don't think so."
Still not being satisfied, Deeks wanted to make sure that she wasn't going to pass out on him. "I wanna check it ok?"
Riley nods ok, as she does Deeks moves his hands gently over her head he doesn't find any bumps. "No bumps, so you're heads ok. Let's take a look at your foot without your shoe on," Being as gentle as he could, like someone petting a mouse, he removes her shoe, then her sock. Its clear that it's slightly swollen but not black blue, so no immediate indication it's broken. "I need to touch it."
With a weak whimper she moves to give him more room. "Ok." As his hand touches her foot with the gentlest of touches, she cant help but wince, unable to hide the shot of pain travelling through her leg.
"Sorry" Deeks is at a loss, all he can do is apologize and offer a small sincere smile. He feels bad she's in pain, but knows if she doesn't allow him to help that shes going to be in more pain than what she is now. Looking at her, he can see the pain in her eyes but also the thankfulness.
She clearly knows, as well as him, that she has to let him do this, for his help.
"Doesn't look broken. That's a good thing!" He smiles at her and she smiles back, the gratefulness beaming through the pain on Riley's features. "Just let me go get some ice and a bandage. I'll do what I can, I do make a pretty good nurse."
Riley laughs, clearly showing she agrees with the statement. "Thanks, and you'll do, as a temporary nurse I suppose."
At that it was Deeks' turn to let out a breath and chuckle. "You're welcome."
With that he left to walk down the hallway to the bedroom, looking in his bag he grabs a bandage. Heading to the refrigerator, he then takes out an ice pack.
He walks back to the couch and sits back down next to Riley. "I need to wrap it and it may hurt a little bit while I'm doing that, you're a big girl now though with no dummies, I hope, so try and bare it for a minute, ok?"
She laughs again at his little comment and replied, "Do what you gotta do." She smiles, Deeks can tell by her face that she's in a great deal of pain but he continues anyway, trying to get it done as quick as possible. He lifts her foot up she does what she can not to cry out. He wraps her foot as quickly as he can he sets her foot down, propping it up on a pillow whilst placing the ice pack on her ankle.
"How bad's the pain?"
"Oh nothing really, only a 12 on a scale to 10..."
Deeks knew how it felt to feel pain like that. "I wish I could give you something."
"Its ok, I'm really tired. It doesn't matter." She could barely even keep her eyes open. Soon after, she falls asleep sitting up. Deeks leans her down on the couch and places her head on a pillow, covering her up with a light blanket.
He looks down at her, she look so much like Kensi. He grins.
He decides to go grab a shower while she's sleeping, so he heads for the bathroom, the thought of Kensi still in his mind.
He knows when she wakes up she'll be hurting and he has no idea where she's staying or if anyone is looking for her. All he knows is that she can stay with him until she's better, or at least until someone comes for her and keep her safe.
