ENJOY:

The goons returned with smiles upon their faces, making Kensi swallow nervously as Deeks tensed, waiting for the pain that was sure to follow.

"The boss is gone, what did he say to do?"

"Take care of our friends." One of the goons, the ugliest one as well, came in front of Kensi and stroked her jaw while his other hand trailed down her shirt. "I guess we will do just that." They both smirked as Kensi fought back the rising shiver she felt. They would not break her.

"Didn't your mother ever raise you right?"

Deeks, now sensing the danger was directed at his partner, began to furiously fight his restraints as he tried anything to get to her. Kensi knew it was useless and she tried warning him with her eyes but he wasn't listening to her silent pleas, he continued to fight.

"Guess not." Goon one leaned into Kensi and instinct kicked in. She head butted him while her sore arms felt the anger pulse through her and raised her just enough so her legs could kick out, catching him in the groin. He went down with a crying pain before all their eyes. Deeks didn't have time to even smile before the other one walked across the way and smacked Kensi repeatedly. For the first time since they got here she felt better - weird, but finally it was an even dish out between partners. Kensi was tired of watching Deeks suffer when they were on equal groundings.

Deeks started laughing, making all of them pause and stare at him. "You just got kicked in the nuts by a girl." He laughed again but she knew it was fake, his eyes were lifeless as his mouth moved he was trying to get them away from her and all she could do was glare.

The goon on the ground stood on shaky legs, walking like an ape making Deeks laugh even harder. "You stupid bitch," Then, like Deeks had always wanted and planned on, the goons attacked him.

"Why hurt him?" She screamed out at them. She wasn't even sure where that came from at such a time but she was desperate to stop the pain. But it won over their attention. "You always go after him and I want to know why." It was the truth. It had been killing her not knowing why they hurt him and left her to watch, there had to be more then there was, and she was going to break. The goons looked at each other before the ugly one spoke, his voice was gruff but full of pain from his resent injury. The other stood by watching while Deeks panted but listened. He needed to know the information and they knew it was a need to know.

"Well we can't hurt you, bosses order." The other one walked back over to her smiling a disgusted smile that twisted her stomach.

"Why not? I haven't broke yet so why me? Why am I set free from injury you stupid ugly sonofabitch!" She finished off insultingly and angrily, mainly wanting him to take his anger out on her, doing anything to free Deeks just for a little while. His smile dropped and he punched her leg where the knife wound was occupied. Kensi cried out in pain at the sudden attack and vaguely heard Deeks scream at them.

"Calm down! We cant harm her, boss says so."

"Why?" She spit out glaring at the men in front of her. She could handle pain but being princess handled, even by the bad guys, was enough to drive her insane.

"Because you stupid bitch, you look like his daughter who died."

"You're not suppose to tell them-"

"I don't fucking care-"

The goons began arguing, one insulting the other while the other defended his intelligence, but neither partner paid attention to the words being thrown around. All they could do was stare at the other as they processed the information. It all made sense now. The lack of pain, the sweet smiles: they weren't for Kensi, they were for the long lost daughter.

"Anyways-" the pull of their words the happiness behind them pulled them back to reality back to being trapped to being hurt and only having each other. Which at one point in time was all they needed. "We can't hurt you, but we can hurt him." The second goon began beating Deeks, punching his chest again and again breaking more ribs and hurting him further while the ugliest goon approached her. A smile that could be only described as sickening and twisted.

"Lets have a little fun." The man reached for her to bring her closer to his gross teeth, and his breath scorched her skin enough to be making it crawl. How she longed to kick his ass. Just as he was about to come into contact with her neck, a booming pissed off voice sounded through the room. "STOP!"

Both goons stepped away quickly, they might be big and strong but they were submissive to the man that was half their size. He strode in, quickly glaring at them while throwing concerned glances towards Kensi.

A concerned father for his daughter. "Go out and pack now." they left without further words and he glanced at the partners, the glaring fiery woman to the heavy breathing slumped figure. His next orders would kill him. He couldn't not lose her again was all Vincent could think of. "It's time for us to part ways."

The goons returned with plastic body bags, plastic bags, everything that would be required to kill and bury a body. Kensi and Deeks shared a panicked look before they began setting up.

"You're killing us?"

"That is the general idea, yes."

"We haven't given you anything-"

"And I don't think you will. It's better to end you both and then move on." He looked down at his feet, the once cold hearted man was then replaced with a broken older man. Graying hair that seemed to shine white as the pain in his posture was clear enough.

Deeks didn't miss this at all. A plan formed almost immediately the genius of it all gave him a whole knew meaning. "Ha," Deeks was panting heavily, trying to draw each breath even though it was to painful to do so. "Seriously you're gonna hurt her? You're gonna kill the woman that looks like your daughter."

"SHUT UP!" Vincent smacked Deeks across the face which did not affect him that much besides a little more blood from his mouth. Vincent glared at the goons who looked half confused while looking guilty they reminded Kensi of Dumb and Dumber.

"Seriously what kind of father-"

"Deeks shut-"

"She's pregnant."

They were all stunned into silence by Deeks' blunt accusation. Kensi was speechless. Why would he say that? Why would he… then it all came into focus. Looking like his daughter equaled no torture, times up have to kill all the witnesses. But wait - girl that looks like daughter is pregnant, surely a reprieve in Deeks mind.

And he was right. Vincent's eyes lit up as if he was going to be a father, a grandfather. "You're gonna have…"

Kensi had no idea what to say, if she denies Deeks gets a worse beating, possible death, for his lying but confirming it that might mean certain death for Deeks, but she?

"I have to go," Vincent walked away and yet there was a skip in his step making Kensi want to puke. They were alone at last.

"What the hell Deeks? Pregnant, really?"

Deeks smiled as he panted, trying to move past the pain. "Well you do look a bit-"

"Don't even think about finishing that sentence."

Deeks smiled his true goofy try-me smile and it was so familiar that she wanted to believe it, she wanted to laugh and let it all go. But she couldn't. "Deeks if this works you do realize what that means?"

"Yup, you go free. You're able to recover, he won't drug you, he loves you, so you can kick his ass and get free." He smiled like his plan was full proof.

"And you die." she whispered but he didn't stop smiling and if he wasn't being hung right now he would have shrugged.

"Never said it was full proof."

"I'm not going to leave you."

"Yes you are."

Kensi glared and she hated him. She never once hated him, annoyed by him, pushed to the point where she might just shoot him in the leg point, but never full on out hate. "I won't leave you."

Deeks looked exasperated. "Then you're going to die with me."

Kensi's eyes never wavered, they were steady and calm determination shown brightly. And there in the mismatched eyes was the acceptance, the understanding that she was not going to leave him, that she too will die as long as they stick together.
