I know I haven't written in a while. I just started a new job and it's been crazy. I hope this makes up for it. So we got news this summer that Granger and Hetty are splitting up Deeks and Kensi. I just had a thought on how that might go down. What do think?
The team stands around the bullpen celebrating the latest case closed. Granger and Hetty stand in her office talking softly. Hetty does not seem pleased. The team is unaware of the hushed conversation taking place. A blond woman enters from the hallway. She stops just outside the bullpen. She looks around confused.
Callen notices the woman and walks over to her. The whole team, now interested in this new face, watches. "You seem lost." Callen says.
"I should think so." Her British accent is prominent. "I'm looking for…" She rummages through her bag and pulls out a piece of paper. "Henrietta Lang?"
Hetty and Granger, just noticing her, come down from Hetty office and join the group. "Agent Moore, I presume. Welcome." Hetty says with a forced civility.
"Thank you for having me." She responds.
"Parker, glad you founds the place." Granger says.
"It is quite well hidden, but you gave me perfect instructions, thank you."
"I'm sorry," Callen interrupts, "But who are you?"
"This is NCIS Agent Parker Moore. She will be joining the team." Granger says.
"As Mr. Deeks's new partner." Hetty clarifies.
Everyone looks shocked. Deeks and Kensi look at each other.
"He already has a partner." "I already have a partner." Kensi and Deeks speck in sync.
"Agent Blye is being transfer out of the OSP division." Hetty says, pain is evident in her voice.
"What?" all four members of the team say together.
"I'm putting together a special task force in the middle east. We need Agent Blye there." Granger says.
"You can't do this." Callen says. "This is my team. You can't make these decisions without me."
"It has been decided Agent Callen."
"I expected this from you," Callen turns toward Hetty, "But you?"
"It was out of my control."
Kensi turns to Deeks but he has left the room. "Deeks?" Everyone turns to see the empty space where Deeks stood just a moment ago.

Deeks stands on the porch of the boat shed over looking the water. Kensi walks up behind him. She stands next to him looking out over the ocean too. They stand in silence.
"I don't know what to say." Kensi says.
Deeks turns toward her. "I love you." Kensi stands for a moment shocked. Neither one had said it before, because they knew what it meant. That these three words, spoken out loud, would change everything. It never needed to be said, it was always there. Kensi opens her mouth trying to find words, but none come.
"If the answer don't immediately come to you…" Deeks says.
"Don't do that."
"Do what?"
"Act like this is the last time we're going to see each other."
"Kensi, you're going to the middle east. It might be."
"No." Kensi starts to get angry. "We can still talk every day, and…"
"And what? Do a long distance thing? You're not going off to college, you're going into a war zone."
"That's my job, Deeks. It's what I do."
"But when you do it, I'm always there to have your back, and now I won't."
Kensi drops her head.
"What can I say to get you not to go? I mean, what do I say?"
"Nothing." Kensi wraps her hands around his neck and into his shaggy hair. She pulls him in for a kiss. His arms circle around her waist, pulling her in.
They hold each other for suspended moment.
When Kensi pulls back a tear runs down her face. "I love you too."
Okay so this was really cheesy but come on, you know that's how you want it to go. What do you think? Leave a review. Also if you have an idea for a story, I'm all ears.
