She moved towards him with every bit of strength she had left. Every day she had waited for this moment, for the moment she would see him again, and here he was moving towards like his entire existence depended on reaching her. It felt like their bodies were being magnetically pulled to each other, and there was nothing that no one could do to stop this from happening. They had waited to long to be in each others arms again.

When she had reached the bottom of the hill, he stood there with a smile on his face and his arms open for her. She took the last four steps, and closed the remaining distance that was keeping them apart. She was there, she finally made it back to where she belonged, back to him. Throwing her arms around his neck, she knew, she knew in that moment that they would never be apart again. He held onto her for moments, hours, weeks, he didn't know how long it had been nor did he care. All he had ever wanted, all he had ever needed was right there in his arms. Pulling back, he took her face in his hands, and kissed her.

Kensi ran her hands through his hair, as he continued to kiss her. This kiss itself was tender and gentle. Deeks treated her like she was glass, and could shatter beneath his touch at any given second. They broke apart after minuets meeting each others passion filled gaze.

"Are you ok?" He questioned noticing all the dried blood that stained the front of her shirt. Kensi looked down to see where his attention was, grabbing at the bottom of her shirt she pulled it out away from her body.

"It's not my blood." She said.

"Granger?"

"Yeah." She whispered.

"Come on. Lets go find Callen and Sam so we can get the hell out of this desert." Deeks said.

"You never did like the desert." Kensi added.

"Yeah, well after this I am pretty sure I never will." He said putting his arm around her shoulder.

Deeks grabbed Jack's gun off the ground, and turned towards Kensi.

"I saw at least four inside with guns. You ready partner?"

Kensi smiled at Deeks and nodded her agreement. The two partners moved synchronized through the building. Deeks loved having his girl watch his back again, he knew her well. He knew how she thought, how she moved, he never had to second guise things when he was working with her. When they entered the building, Deeks took out one man to the left. Kensi took out two more that came out from the right when they heard the gunshots.

"Down the hall is where they were holding me" Deeks said looking over his shoulder to Kensi. He stood protectively in front of her as he made sure the room was clear. " You move I will watch your back." Deeks ordered.

Kensi took point and moved down the hallway with her gun in her hand, ready to take on anyone who came in her direction.

"Its clear." She called back to Deeks when she reached the wall at the other end of the hallway.

Deeks made his way down the hall to where Kensi stood in front of the locked door. Kensi stepped back putting her back against the wall she turned to Deeks and nodded her head. He smiled at her shooting the lock that was on the door to the room that currently held Callen and Sam. Deeks kicked the door open once the lock was no longer an issue.

"About damn time." Sam said.

"Sorry, I was busy trying not to die." Deeks replied.

"How did you manage to escape?" Callen asked.

Deeks moved out of the doorway so that Sam and Callen could see Kensi who was still standing with her back against the wall. Callen was the first out of the room moving towards her. Once he was right in front of Kensi he reached out taking her in his arms.

"I was beginning to think we were never going to see you again." Callen said pulling back looking at the woman he has come to know and love as his little sister.

Sam moved in taking his turn to hug Kensi. "Girl, you look like hell."

Kensi laughed regretting it instantly when a sharp pain shot through her damaged ribs. Deeks was at her side in a instant as soon as he heard her whimpers of pain.

"You ok?"

"Cracked ribs at least two." She explained.

Deeks wrapped his arm around Kensi's shoulders, and she leaned her body into his like it was the most natural reaction in the world.

"Come on lets get out of here." Deeks said.
