Hey, sorry this one took so long, but I've had at least one test every single day of this week in school! I've been so busy, but this is the last chapter! Enjoy! Also, since I don't know what Vacar's last name is, he will be known as Mr. Vacar...
Chapter 8
Kensi pov
One week later...
It had been a week since I was released from the hospital. Today was Vacar's trial. I don't even think this monster should even have a trial. The worst part is, I have to testify at it.
"Deeks, I don't want to do this!" I whined as I pulled on a simple black dress. I was thankful that I could finally do some things for myself now, I just can't lift anything heavy and I can't go back to work. Yeah, it sucks, but at least I'm still alive. He walked into my bedroom wearing a plain black suit and a blue tie.
"Since when does Kensi Marie Blye whine?" He said jokingly as he zipped up the back of my dress.
"Since I got shot and was pampered for a week." I grabbed my purse and we headed out the door. The others were going to meet us at the courthouse.
My mind kept going over and over what happened to me. I didn't want to go to court, I didn't want to see 'him.' Him being Vacar, the one who is the cause of my pain and nightmares. I couldn't sit still and I kept tapping my foot and fidgeting in the car seat. This didn't go unnoticed by Deeks.
"Kens... Are you alright?" He asked as he kept glancing over at me. It was then that I realized I was shaking. 'Am I really getting worked up about this?'
"Fine." I muttered as I bit my lip. I quickly averted my gaze from his. Right now I feel as if he can see right through me.
"Come on Kiki, what's really wrong?" He prodded as we pulled into the parking lot. We got out of the car and began walking slowly to the courthouse. I hesitated and sighed.
"What if. What if he doesn't go to jail? What if they let him walk?" I hesitated, "What if, he does it again Deeks?". At the last question he stopped walking and turned to me. He walked closer to me and I bit my lip again.
"Kensi, I will not let him hurt you again." He looked me straight in the eye. I saw many emotions swirling in his eyes, and I be he saw the same in mine; fear, sadness, helplessness. "After what he did, I don't think he will ever get out of jail." I swallowed my emotions and he held out his hand. I placed my hand in his and we walked up the stairs and into the courthouse.
We all got seated and the trial began. I was called up to the stand to testify. I sat down tentatively and looked at the judge.
"We are here today for the trial of Mr. Vacar for kidnapping, abusing, and assaulting a federal officer." She bellowed. I looked at Deeks who nodded assurance and I relaxed a little. I looked over at Vacar and he smiled at me, I cringed. He was not handcuffed and looked like a bigshot. His face was bruised from where Deeks slammed his head into the wall mulitple times and it looked like his nose was broken. He also had what looked like a very expensive lawyer at his side who was looking over some papers. "What does your client plead, Mr. Jones?" She asked the lawyer.
"He pleads not guilty." He said as he gave the judge a smile. Everyone member of the team glared at the lawer, one thing the team can agree on hating is lawers. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as the judge continued.
"Ms. Blye, are the accusations against Mr. Vacar True?" She asked me as I looked up.
"Yes, they are true." I replied in a monotone voice.
"Do you have any evidence?" She asked me. I looked at the team in horror, I didn't have any evidence. Hetty saw me in distress and produced a folder and a thumb drive.
"I have the evidence." She piped up. She walked towards the judge and handed her the evidence. She looked through the pictures and a look of astonishment crossed her face. She finished looking through them and asked Mr. Jones a question.
"Would you like to see these pictures and explain them?" She asked him with a look of annoyance on her face. She looked angry at Vacar. Mr. Jones got up from his seat and took the folder from the judge. He flipped through them and scoffed.
"This proves nothing!" He cried as he handed the folder to Vacar. " There is no specific evidence that shows my client inflicted these injuries to Ms. Blye. Anyone could have done it." The pictures were shown to the jury and there were slight gasps and cries. 'So that's what those photos were of.' I thought as they proceeded.
"I thought you might say that, so I had my tech team copy those little 'movies' you made of Ms. Blye when you had her held hostage." Hetty sneered at Vacar. His smile fell from his face and was replaced with a look of anger. I watched as they hooked up a laptop to a projector and put the video on. I watched the video along with the rest of the room, but looked away as I heard the frantic screaming on the video. Those screams brought me back to when I was being tortured and I recoiled into my seat and looked at Deeks, who wasn't watching the video, he was watching me. He looked concerned and I gave him a small smile which quickly disappeared when I heard the sickening crack of a rib breaking in the video. The first video ended and I was relieved, but then I remembered that there was a second video. They began playing the video and I watched. I looked so feral, I was looking around like a caged animal; ready to pounce on a threat. I watched as I was beaten and taunted by Vacar's men. I looked over at Vacar, who was watching the video in disgust. He knew he was going to jail, there was no denying that. But he watched in awe as his men beat me. I bowed my head because I knew what was going to come next; the taser and the screaming.

I watched the second video for the first time. Kensi looked so scared in the video. I looked over to where she was sitting now and she looked just as frightened, which was unusual for her. I watched her cringe as she heard herself being tortured by the awful men. I met her gaze and she looked so defeated. Her eyes had become glazed over and I could tell she was trying to block out what was happening, but it wasn't working. She bowed her head and was playing with her fingers as I heard it, she screamed. I looked up to the screen where she was on the floor being tasered. She was crying and screaming my name. It completely broke my heart. I could feel the team looking at me, but I didn't care, I just kept watching. I kept telling myself that Kensi is the strongest person I know and she will get through it, but seeing the look on her face was telling me otherwise. She was snapped out of her trance when she heard the gunshot on the video. I looked up at the video and saw a man go towards her, I vaguely heard him talking, but I saw his actions. He raised a gun to her head and there was a loud smash and a gunshot. Then the video went blank.

I was relieved when the videos were over. I looked around and saw all of the mortified faces in the room. Hetty gave me a small smile as she gathered her evidence and took her seat. The silence was broken when the judge broke the silence.
"Well, it is a very clear verdict." She stated as she regained her composure. One of the jurors went up to her and handed her a piece of paper. She looked at it and nodded to the juror, who took his seat again. "The jury and I find guilty of all charges and sentence him to life in prison with no bail and no chance of parole." The judge hit the gavel on the desk and I was relieved, until I heard him.
"You bitch!" Vacar charged towards me as I was leaving the podium. I saw him heading towards me with a knife and I froze. I heard a gunshot and immediately flinched. I watched Vacar fall to the floor. When he fell he dropped the knife, and now he was holding his knee and crying like a little baby. I looked towards the crowd and saw Deeks with his gun pointed at Vacar. I ran to him and hugged him, holding on to him for dear life. He re-holstered his weapon and hugged me back, rubbing my back softly.
"You saved my life for the second time Deeks." I breathed in his ear. I pulled away and looked up at him.
"I told you I wouldn't let him hurt you." Deeks said with a goofy grin on his face. I smiled back and we leaned closer together. We kissed briefly and held each other for what seemed like an eternity.
"I love you Deeks. What would I do without you?" I questioned, finally coming to terms with what had happened in the past week.
"You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that." He said as we pulled away and began walking out of the courthouse to his car.
Back at Kensi's House
Kensi's pov
We got home and immediately went to bed. It had been an exhausting day and we were both beat. I was snuggled up next to Deeks with my head in his chest. I was falling asleep while listening to his steady heartbeat. I was still on my medicine and sleep was overwhelming me.
"Goodnight Deeks." I murmured as I snuggled closer to him. He placed an arm around my waist and we stayed like that, in each others embrace. For the first time in a week, I slept peacefully without any nightmares. Just sweet dreams of me and Deeks.
THE END.
Yay It's finished! Sorry this chapter is kind of lame, I've never been to court, so I don't know how it goes. Please review, I love reviews!
