Prompt from bookdiva - continue chapter 2 (Nell and Deeks on a stakeout)


"Nell?"

Nell sighed. She didn't think he was going to let this go. He never lets things go with Kensi.

"I heard it. And so did Eric. And so did Hetty."

"Great..."

"Sorry."

"Don't be. You were all just doing your jobs."

"Honestly, I forgot about it for awhile. We were so worried when we lost contact with you and Sam. All I cared about was getting you back alive."

"Well, I wouldn't have... if it weren't for all of you."

They met each others gaze and smiled affectionately. Deeks and Nell didn't get to spend much time together, but they had grown fond of each other. They saw each other as family.

"Did you and Kensi... ever talk about what happened that day?"

"No. It would seem that we still have a communication problem."

"You know, it doesn't have to stay that way."

"What do you mean?"

"She will be back eventually, right?"

"That's the plan."

"Well, you guys could communication then."

"It sounds like you're rooting for us or something."

Nell smiled and shrugged. "Who isn't?"
