Kensi and Deeks walked over to his car and hand, when Kensi turned to Deeks. "I don't want to go home Deeks."
"Okay, alright where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to the office and see Nate."
I can call Nate and have him meet us at the boatshed."
"Deeks please. I want to go to the office"
"Let me make a call." He said as he got his phone and dialed Hetty's number.
"Mr Deeks, how is Ms Blye?" Asked Hetty
"She's getting there Hetty. Ah, she wants to come into the office to see Nate."
"I see. Take Kensi to the boat shed and I'll have him meet you there."
"She wants to meet Nate at the office Hetty not the boatshed."
"It's not Nate she wants to see Mr Deeks. I'll expect you're arrival shortly." She said as she hung up the phone and went looking for Nate.
"Alright I just spoke to Hetty. She'll have Nate ready for you."
"Thanks Deeks."
"Come on let's go."
Cut to OSP
Callen and Sam were sitting at their desks. "How's Kensi doing?"
"She's getting there, but it'll take time."
Meanwhile Hetty was speaking to Nate in her office. "She's coming here to confront me." Said Hetty
"About sending her to Afghanistan and Jack's death and what she went through over there?"
"Yes I would imagine so Mr Getz. I need you here, because I except she will be angry and the confrontation may cause an episode of PTSD and I need you to get her through it."
Nate nodded, as they sat in Hetty's office awaiting the arrival of Kensi and Deeks.
20 minutes later
Deeks and Kensi arrived as OSP. Deeks looked over at Kensi "Are you sure you're right to do this Kensi?"
"Yeah I'll be okay." She said as she got out of the car and headed into OSP.
Kensi walked into OSP, blowing straight passed Callen and Sam and headed straight towards Hetty's office where Hetty and Nate we're waiting.
"You sent me to Afghanistan to kill Jack!" Yelled Kensi
Callen, Sam, Deeks and everyone stopped what they were doing and were staring at Hetty and Kensi.
"No dear I sent you to Afghanistan to save him." Said Hetty as she got up and walked away.
"What! No I.. Hetty." She said as she continued to follow her to a more private area, while Nate followed.
"No Hetty, Granger told me the mission was to take out the White Ghost."
Hetty didn't say anything she simply smiled at Kensi.
"Wait a second. You…you knew that if I found out it was Jack I wouldn't kill him."
Hetty smiled. "Indeed Ms Blye. Indeed"
"It doesn't matter anymore Hetty. He's dead! Jack is dead! Everything I went through, everything they did to me doesn't what it doesn't matter because the mission was to save him! Jack! A man that walked out of my life and away from me!" Yelled Kensi
Even though Kensi and Hetty we're in a more private area of the building her voice still travelled. Sam, Callen and Deeks looked at each other and then went looking for Kensi and Hetty.
"Ms Blye. I want to apologize for what.."
Before Hetty could finish Kensi cut her off. "Apologise for what Hetty! For what happened to me! The fact that I feel so broken that I can't close my eyes without seeing them, replaying what they did to me!" She yelled
Kensi was breathing heavy after her yelling match with Hetty when Callen, Sam and Deeks opened the door.
"Uh guys, can you give us a minute?" asked Nate
"I don't need a minute I'm done. I'm done with all of this" She said as she put her badge and gun in Hetty's hands turned and brushed passed the three of them.
"Kensi" Called Nate but she didn't respond. Nate grabbed her badge and gun off Hetty and ran out after her, leaving Hetty, Deeks, Callen and Sam standing silently in the room.
Deeks went to go after his partner but Sam stopped him. "Nate's got it Deeks"
Nate finally caught up to Kensi in the parking lot. "Kensi."
"I don't want to talk Nate."
"Look Kensi I can't imagine what you went through. Just so you know my only interest is you and getting you back on your feet.
Nate held onto Kensi's gun and badge. "I think it would be a mistake for you to leave NCIS, Kensi. You're one of the best operatives we have here and you are a valuable asset to this team."
"Thanks Nate. I just don't know if I can work for Hetty after what she did. She used my personal life, my past against me. I can't trust her after that."
"Come on, let's get out of here." Said Nate.
"Where are we going?" Asked Kensi
"Wherever you want" Said Nate
"Alright." Said a cautious Kensi
Meanwhile Deeks, Sam, Callen and Hetty were still standing silently with each other.
"Someone needs to speak otherwise we will be stuck here for eternity." Said Hetty
"We're lost for words Hetty." Said Callen
"Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Deeks
"The operation was classified" Said Hetty
"Classified! Classified! You knew this was personal for her. You knew it would affect her. It broke her Hetty it broke her. They broke her!" Yelled Deeks as he left the room.
About 15 minutes later they had arrived at the beach, with a pit stop at Kensi's donut shop along the way
"The sand, it reminds of being back there." She said as she Nate walked down the beach
"Are you okay?" Asked Nate.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm done being a victim Nate. I won't let them hold power over me anymore. I want to move on with my life. I want to find direction and stop floating aimlessly. I need to take back control."
"That's great to hear Kensi." Said Nate as they continued to walk along the water line.
