Sam was dressed n his Navy uniform and Callen in a grey suit. Joelle was making his bow tie while they were waiting for the groom to arrive. Sam got up from where he was sitting and approached his partner. Joelle smiled at him and left them to speak. "How do I look?"
"You are okay. Decent." Callen gave him a confusing look. "I'm kidding, you are great. And also lucky that you remembered the rings. Kensi would kill you."
"Deeks was on the Mission. I think he still is. He loves her Sam and he is not doing anything to stop this."
"He wants her to be happy." He didn't say anything else and his phone rang. "Hey baby. Jack hasn't arrived yet. I think you should wait."
"He won't come."
"What do you mean?" Sam looked at Callen with a serious face.
"He just left from Kensi's house. They won't get married. Looks like he regretted it."
"How's Kensi?" Callen was now worried too.
"She is locked in her bedroom. I'm going to stay here for a while. Can you come here to pick up Kamran?"
"Yeah I will. And I'll let the guests know." He hung up and turned to them. "I'm sorry. May I have your attention, please?" Everyone stopped talking at looked at him. "There won't be a wedding today. Thank you all for coming and I'm sorry for the discomfort. You can all return home."
"What the hell is going on?" Callen asked while Joelle joined them.
"He left her. That's what happened. He just left from her home."
"Son of a bitch. I'm going to kill him. How could he do that? Today? On her birthday? How?"
She stayed in her bedroom for at least an hour. She had taken off her dress and had tossed it to the bed. She was sitting on the floor behind the door with her knees close to her chest. Not even a small drop of tear had come out of her eyes. She eventually got up, after the million efforts her mum made, put on a red dress with flowers and went outside to the living room. They hadn't left. "Baby? How are you?"
"Go home, I'll be okay. Nell, Michelle, go. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Nell asked.
Kensi nodded her head. Nell and Michelle didn't try harder. But Julia insisted. "Honey, are you sure you don't want me to stay?"
"Yeah mum. Go home. I'll call you later." She kissed her daughter's forehead and left. Kensi looked at the ring in her finger; the engagement ring. She took it off and threw it to the couch.
After they left from the church, Callen and Sam went to the Mission along with the rest of the guests who were working there. When Deeks saw them, he was surprised. "What are you all doing here? I thought there was a party or something like that after the event."
"They didn't get married." Callen said angry and took off his coat.
"What do you mean? He...he left her? On their wedding day?" Probably Deeks was angrier than Callen. He got up, grabbed his jacket and left. He drove straight to her house. He didn't see her car outside but he didn't bother. He walked to the door and knocked. But no answer. Where was she? He called her but she wasn't picking it up. A neighbor showed up and told him that she saw her leaving an hour ago. But she didn't know where she was going. He thought she would be at her mother's.
He drove there as fast as he could. The sun had set. She wasn't in a good condition and she certainly shouldn't be out alone. He pulled over outside Julia's house, jumped out of the car and ran to the door. He rang the bell and waited. "Kensi?" Julia was hoping it was her daughter. "Detective? She is not here if you are looking for her."
Julia could see the disappointment on Deeks' eyes. "Do you know where I can find her? She is not answering her phone and I'm worry about her."
"I wish I knew. I shouldn't have left her alone when she asked me to. I shouldn't. She hasn't cried. And that's not good, is it?"
"No, it's not. It's unusual for Kensi." That was Deeks' phone rang. "Eric? Did you find her?" Julia stared at him. "Where? Okay. Thanks." He hung up and looked at Julia. "We found her."
She seemed relieved. "I don't care if she wants to come here. But when you see her, I want you to call me and tell me that she's okay. I don't care if she wants to see me or talk to me or come here. I just need to know that she is okay."
"Don't worry. I'll call you." and he left immediately.
