CHAPTER 14: FINDING MARTY'S TEMPORARY PARTNER AND OTHER THINGS...

THE BULLPEN...

"You and Deeks didn't answer my question." Callen said looking at Kensi. "No, we're not going to start yelling today." Kensi said, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

It didn't take long before Marty returned to the Bullpen, Eric and Nell right behind him.

"Ready to tell them, Fern," Marty asked and Kensi nodded, getting up to stand beside him.

"Saturday morning, Marty, woke me up before sunrise..." Kensi began. "I'm surprised you're still alive, Deeks." Sam joked.

"I asked Kensi to marry me and she said yes." Marty told them. "We had lunch with my mom on Sunday and told her then. Before you ask...Marty and I have not really talked about any details for the wedding." Kensi told them.

"How about a team night on Friday," Callen suggested and everyone agreed.

"Okay, now that we have that taken care. I guess we better get started on finding your temporary field partner..." Kensi said looking at Marty. "Let's go sit on the couch, it will be more comfortable." Marty suggested picking the profiles for the agents up off his desk and Kensi followed him.

THE COUCH...

TWO HOURS LATER...

Marty leaned back on the couch rubbing his eyes.

In the past two hours he and Kensi had gone through fifteen different profiles. The one thing they had agreed on right off is...

They did not want a rookie to watch his back.

After a few arguments about the different profiles, they had found one that looked promising, but they had also decided to interview a few others just to be fair.

The one they were really looking at was...

Josephine Nicole Cooper

Age: 34

Originally an LAPD Cop, but five years ago changed her mind and became an NCIS Agent.

She was also married with an eight year old daughter.

"Have you ever met her?" Kensi asked as she leaned back against the couch. "I may have seen her around, but I never talked to her. Do you think Hetty put her profile in there on purpose?" Marty inquired. "Probably, we'll interview her tomorrow morning." Kensi said and closed her eyes for a moment.

"You okay?" Marty asked and she opened her eyes to look at him. "Yes, it's just looking at all those files for so long. I just hope that whoever we pick to be your field partner will have your back." Kensi told him and he took one of her hands in his.

"Don't worry, Kens. I won't let anything happen to me and I don't think that Callen, Sam or anyone else will either..."

He assured her, but there was no reply.

"...Kensi," He said and looking at her, he noticed that she had fallen asleep.

He got up and after laying her down comfortably on the couch, he headed back to his desk.

THE BULLPEN...

Callen and Sam looked up as Marty sat back down at his desk.

"Did you two find someone to be your temporary field partner?" Callen asked. "Yeah, Kensi and I found a few people to interview tomorrow. Kensi just fell asleep on the couch." Marty answered.

"Good, then this is the perfect time." Sam said looking as him and Callen looked at Marty. "Uh, perfect time for what?" Marty asked a little worried. "We warned you when you and Kensi finally told us you two were dating not to hurt her..." Callen said.

"What? I never hurt, Kensi! I love her!" Marty protested. "You did hurt her, Deeks. You didn't trust her about the past, being just that...the past, when you hit her ex-fiancée." Sam told him.

"That is between me and Kensi! So I don't see why it has anything to do with the team." Marty said in anger, then getting up he left.

MARTY...

HIS CAR...

He had been so mad when he left; he called Eric and asked him to track down Jackson Donovan...

Marty was going to apologize to Jack for what hitting him.

Then he sent a text to Kensi to let her know he had left OSP and would explain later, also letting her know he would bring back some lunch for the two of them.
