my promised chapter!

enjoy!

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.

Just like his princess to be the hero, the unnecessary hero. "That's a waste Kensi, and you know it. You need to get out of here. Come on please I can't have another partner die."

Kensi's glare intensified. "I lost a partner too, Deeks, don't sacrifice yourself for me because I will only hate you for it."

Deeks glared right back at her, he had never met a more stubborn woman. "You are needed. Sam and Callen need you, you are a damn good agent and I will do what I can to save you." Deeks glanced from her to the door and smiled at her, not the usual happy go by life smile he always wore but a sad smile that broke her heart. "Hope you forgive me for this."

Deeks began screaming for no reason, maybe only to piss Kensi off, but soon they heard the door opening and foot steps running over just as Deeks held his breath, lifted himself up onto his arms and then kicked out at her. She had been kicked before, many, many times, and his barely hurt but she gasped from impact, knowing immediately what was going on.

"Deeks, no," the two goons came in and grabbed Deeks' legs and they began beating him as Kensi screamed for him. Vincent walked in right behind them glaring at Deeks before facing her, a small smile on his face.

"You are safe, my dear, you are safe. STOP" Both goons stopped immediately. Deeks was barely conscious now but he was smiling. That little piece of- "Now, what gives you the right to hurt her and her child?" he was pissed and angry as he approached Deeks and he only smiled at him saying the one wrong thing that was so planned.

"Because it deserves to die, just like your daughter." Kensi's mouth popped open in utter shock. Deeks was just begging for death now. But the man didn't even flinch, just smiled coldly at him.

"You won't even live to regret that." He pointed at the two goons who were smiling like kids who just got candy. "I want you to take her to my car and then deal with him leave no evidence."

Kensi's heart dropped at his words. "NO, please-" She begged, she didn't even hate herself for begging. She was scared; she was scared for the man who was glaring at her. "I'm not pregnant, he's lying please!"

Suspicion darkened in his eyes before he smiled sweetly at her. "You were glowing when you came in here and now I know why you don't have to protect him anymore. He would have been a bad father anyways."

The fact that he assumed they were a couple normally would have had her laughing but she was too scared to even laugh. Deeks however seemed like he couldn't stop. "It will be a shame, even though if it's anything like her then I would be gone in seconds."

That earned Deeks a pipe delivered to his chest, bringing a scream to Deeks lips as another rib was broken.

"Enough, take her now."

"NO!" She fought them but her feet were bond and after being hung for a day, she didn't have enough upper body strength to fight them. All she could do was scream at them as they dragged her away from him, from her partner.

"See ya, Fern." She heard him, the others assumed he was insulting them, but she knew it was his sorry to her, their last way to say anything, but she couldn't say anything at all. Her voice was burning from her screams. They dragged her through the gravel, her bare feet collecting small cuts, and bruises were forming on her arm from the goons tight hold.

They dragged her to a black van, the doors were open as if they were her greeting for an impending terrible life, the end of it all and it truly was. She couldn't lose another partner; she didn't think she could survive this time.

Dom was like a kid brother; she cared about him and hurt after he died, but Deeks? She couldn't lose him. How could she go into work everyday without seeing those piercing blue eyes that could read her no matter what? She pushed and he pushed back. His goofy grins and his annoying voice that she hadn't realized when he was gone she missed it.

She couldn't get another partner because she knew, now more than ever, that Deeks was truly her partner, if he went then she would never be the same, no partner in the world would compare. "Please don't hurt him," She tried reaching her inner girl. It wasn't hard because she was scared, even if the agent in her wanted to fight kick scream to get back to Deeks. She showed the side that might resemble his daughter.

He glanced back at her as Vincent started the car. Kensi looked back at the goons who were smiling as they closed the door, both giddy to do their next bidding. "I couldn't kill you, you should be dead, it's a mistake to let you live now but I can't do it. It's risky to have you here, but with him also? No, he is an asshole anyways."

The car began moving, taking her even further from her doomed partner. Fear was all she felt, she tasted bile in her throat and she fought the restraints. It was all she could do but the pain of her wounds being reopened, rubbed raw, it was lost to her: she could only see her partner.

"Calm down, you're going to hurt yourself. Don't make me – SHIT!" The van swerved as another car came flying around the corner threatening to play chicken, a car that was familiar and a beautiful site. The van swerved wildly before it crashed into a ditch, causing her to be flung forward and slammed into to the cage.

The back doors flew open, the sudden sunlight so blinding she closed her eyes against it. "KENSI, it's okay, we're here,"

Sam. She opened her eyes and found him as he climbed into the back of the van as the front door flew open and Callen secured Vincent. "You good?" She nodded as Sam picked the locks.

"We have to hurry, Deeks needs help!"

Sam didn't ask any questions or stop her as she was released and immediately ran out, jumping into the car and waiting for the others. The weakness she felt earlier was gone now, the adrenaline taking full affect.

Soon they were heading up the very unfamiliar dirt road, but it felt familiar - the deep holes, the sound of crunching gravel it was her worse nightmare come true.

"Gun."

Callen passed back her usual weapon and the familiar weight of the gun calmed her down significantly. She was an agent again, she had a job to do and a partner to protect.

The car slid in front of a warehouse that she wouldn't have recognized, but the familiar smell of dirt, blood and metal overwhelmed her senses, bringing back the memories of pain. They ran out, and she didn't bother with a vest as it would take too much time and it would hurt to try and wear even if she wasn't black and blue.

"How many?" Callen asked.

"Two big guys. They have a lot of weapons."

Sam ran around back as Callen and Kensi stormed up front, taking the front doors that were cold and hateful. "Do you know what room Deeks is in?"

She nodded, she wasn't sure if she could form words past the lump in her throat. "Now."

They both crashed through the doors, Kensi heading straight for the door that would take her to her partner, being cautious yes, but her only drive was to save Deeks. Gun fire sounded behind her but she was not paying attention, and soon the door was flinging open by her hands and her eyes cleared it, goon free.

Her eyes landed on the figure in the center of the room. The hanging figure that was so still and bruised, the figure that did everything to save her, the figure that had a bag over his head.
