HEY, PEOPLE! NOT MUCH TO SAY, SO HERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER! DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW J

DON'T OWN IT

Leave it to Deeks to screw things up, Nate thought. Silently, he couldn't help but be slightly agitated at Kensi's timing.

"You gonna tell me what happened, partner?" Deeks asked hopefully.

"Jack probably tried to kill you. Or just draw me out, but either way, I think he shot you." Kensi explained. Deeks could see her makeup had worn off a little, and her eyes were a little red, but he didn't say anything. He was going to at some point, though. Actually, he had a really good joke, but knew not to say it.

"I think I gathered that. I meant, are you ok?" Deeks asked, slightly agitated. He didn't like when he had to keep repeating what the intentions of his questions were.

"I'm fine." Kensi said. Deeks looked at her incredulously, as did Nate.

"Now I know you're lying." Deeks said, a look of triumph on his face.

"I'm not." She said, stepping into the room.

"Kensi, you can't possibly think that I believe that you're fine after you find out that the guy you really loved that left you is now happily married with 2 kids." Deeks said.

"I can, actually. I have 2 choices: cry and get nothing done, or get mad and get something done. Cause right now, I'm furious for so many reasons." Kensi explained.

"That makes no sense, sorry." Deeks replied.

"Think about it this way: yeah, it hurts, and I'd like nothing more than to just break down. But I'm not. Cause I will get seriously P.O'd and that's just not good for anyone. If I do, that means that he broke me. And no one can break me." Kensi said.

"That actually makes sense." Deeks said, pointing his fingers at her.

"I'm ready for all your problems with my solution." Kensi said, looking at Nate.

"I have none. I'm actually very proud of your reasoning. I mean, sure, it might be best if you let it out, but your reasoning makes sense, and will most likely be beneficial in the long run. It's funny, cause when I was driving over, I was extremely nervous about telling you. Two reactions I thought you could have played over and over in my head. One was that you'd fall apart and get depressed and get all self destructive. The other was that you'd get mad and go get the person or persons that did this. And honestly, I wasn't sure which it would be, and that scared the crap out of me." Nate lectured, a smile plastered to his face.

"Oh, you know me better than that. Of course I would never get all depressed and all that crap." Kensi said. The three laughed, wondering just how much truth was actually in that sentence. They didn't bother worrying that if something bad enough happened, that could become a reality. As far as Jack went, they knew, Kensi would never let him break her. As she pointed out, no one broke Kensi Blye. Ever.

KINDA SHORTISH? SORRY. PLEASE REVIEW J
