A LOT OF THIS CHAPTER IS FROM THE EPISODE OF
HAND TO HAND
THAT PART DOES NOT BELONG TO ME...
SUMMARY:
What if Kensi and Marty met almost two years before…before NCIS and LAPD joined to solve the Danny Zuna case?
CHAPTER 4: ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER...
APRIL 2010...
It had been almost two years now, since Kensi and Marty had last seen each other.
MARTY...
Marty was busy at the LAPD with his undercover work. Eventually he moved on dating many women, but sometimes he would think of that one date and wonder why he was thinking of it...when he knew there was a chance he would never see her again.
IN THE MEANTIME...
Kensi was busy between work and taking care of Megan Donalda Blye who was just in three months would be two years old.
Megan had blue eyes and her hair was a sort of dirty-dish-water blond.
Kensi really loved her daughter's blue eyes, because they reminded her of the ocean.
While Kensi had been pregnant, she had found herself drawn to the beach a few times.
When she had seen the surfer she slept with, she had kept her distance. It would always bring the debate back of if she should tell him.
In the end, she always left, thinking next time, she would tell him...but she never did.
After looking in the baby book Kensi had found the name Megan meaning 'The Strong'.
KENSI...
When the alarm went off Kensi turned it off and swinging her legs over the bed got up. She knew it was going to be a long day, because Meg had woken her up last night.
Kensi got up and after stopping by the bathroom, she walked into Meg's room to find the little girl standing in her crib.
"Mama, Mama, Mama!" Megan screamed a smile on her face and a sort of sparkle in her blue eyes.
Sometimes Kensi still thought of the one night that had resulted in her getting pregnant and Meg looked so much like that surfer.
"Morning, Meg." Kensi said, lifting the little girl out of the crib.
AN HOUR AND A HALF-LATER...
Kensi strapped Megan into her car seat and then closing the door to the back seat, Kensi climbed into the driver's seat.
Her first stop was to drop her off at the baby sitter's house.
"Ready to go," Kensi asked Meg looking at the back seat, before starting the car.
Meg was just talking in her own little language and seemed to be in a good mood this morning.
It was not long before Kensi dropped Megan off at the baby sitters and then Kensi continued to work.
HOURS LATER...
OPERATIONS CENTER…
Kensi was in OPS with Eric when Hetty, Sam and Callen walked in. Then Eric began to brief them on the case...
"Lance Corporal Daniel Zuna. Stationed without incident at Camp Pendleton until last night..."
Pictures were up on the plasma.
"Taken by a member of the paparazzi, that'd be "paparazzo" then wouldn't it, because paparazzo with an "I" is plural. So paparazzo,
These were taken last night near an alley outside of a night club called Four-Twenty on Hollywood Boulevard..." Eric said.
Kensi had gone there a couple of times when she needed a night out and found a baby sitter for Megan, though she usually spent a lot of nights at home with Megan.
She was careful never to bring any men that she met in clubs home with her or tell them about her daughter.
"Four-Twenty has an incredible deejay..."
Kensi said and everyone in OPS looked at her.
"What? A girl's got to get her freak on now and then." Kensi told them.
"Preliminary autopsy indicates Lance Corporal Zuna died from massive blood loss." Eric explained. "Gunshot," Sam questioned.
"No…no signs of physical trauma, but here's the freaky part. He bled out through his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Lance Corporal Zuna was on a two-week leave spends a lot of his time at the MMA Gym called the Blood & Guts Warriors." Eric told them.
"MMA...mixed martial arts." Sam stated. "Well, the victim has been on leave after coming off a guard duty rotation at a bio-lab facility, so assume he may have been exposed to a biohazard." Eric reported.
"Hazmat assured me there's no contagion, but due caution is advised." Hetty warned.
"We need to track Zuna's movements while he was on leave." Sam suggested.
"Kensi, sniff around Zuna's gym. See what you can find out from his buddies. We can always bring them in later if we have to. Meanwhile, Sam and I will be wearing gloves in an alley outside of Hollywood Boulevard." Callen commanded.
The team split up and Kensi headed for the MMA Gym.
