Chapter 11
Kensi put her gun down as Lucifer dropped to the floor, his eyes open with a bullet hole clearly visible in his forehead. Callen and Sam looked immediately to Kensi before each other, eyes wide, before Callen proceeded to leave the room with his finger to his ear.
"Eric, we need an ambulance here for Deeks."
"On its way to you now."
When released, the LAPD detective he fell to the ground, his eyes still shut. He was on his knees and silently sobbing.
"Deeks?" His head reacted and jolted to face Kensi, his eyes finally open. She rose her hands in surrender and moved slowly toward him.
"No! No, no, no…" He went from a scream to a whimper as he turned his head and backed up into the wall.
"Deeks, its okay. Its all going to be okay now, you're safe."
She took another step toward him, but this time he remained still with his knees to his chest and his back against the hard wall. Kensi moved into the same position beside him. Deeks' head slowly leaned against her shoulder as she used her arm to hug him comfortingly. In just a few seconds he had passed out.
It was only once her partner was asleep that Kensi realised the state he was in. Both his cheeks displayed heavy, black and purple bruises. His right eye was also black with a cut along his eyebrow. His chest was practically bare, with only a shredded shirt covering his skin. This meant she could clearly see the vibrant array of bruises found on his abdomen.
"Deeks…" Kensi whispered as she stroked the hair on his sweat-laced forehead.
