Kensi sat in the hospital bed. Her eyes rapidly looking around the room but they stopped when they saw Deeks standing in the doorway. He looked exhausted. How long had he been there? How long was she in the comma? She thought as she looked Deeks square in the eyes. She didn't even move as they pulled the tube out of her throat. She watched as the doctor walked over to Deeks.
"That is one of the shortest commas I've seen in my career. There rare but not impossible," the doctor said. Deeks could hear the concern in his voice.
"What does that mean?" he asked starting to get really worried.
"Oh, nothing, she'll be fine. But most comma patients don't wake up for at least a day or two. She had to have… forced herself awake." Deeks looked over the doctor's shoulders to look at Kensi. Had she felt him kiss her or known that he was there?He shook the thought from his head and walked over to Kensi.
"Deeks. What... what happend?" she asked when he reached her. "How did I get here?"
"Kensi, don't you remember?" Kensi stared into his eyes. The explosion came back to her.
"The project must be done by the end of the week. Understood?" she remebered Hazar saying.
"Understood," she had responded.
"I'm going to check to make sure all the explosives are ready." He left the room and about a minute later boom! The cieling board came crashing down on her. She tried to pry it off but she couldn't. She was about to die from smoke inalation. The next the she knew, the board was thrown off of her and she was being lifted from the ground.
"Deeks," she began to say after she went through all the details of her memory. "You saved me."
"'Course I did Kenz. You're my partner. I wouldn't let anything happen to you," he lied through his teeth. How could he explain to her he loved her without any knowledge that she felt the same way? She reached up and took his hand.
"How long was I in the coma?" Somehow he knew this question would come up.
"12 hours. I've been here for 10." He sat back down in the chair next to her bed making sure not to let go of her hand. Her grasp on his hand felt comforting. He couldn't help noticing the glassy look in her eyes. There was medical tape above her right eye. She must have gotten stiches there. He just couldn't stop looking at her.
Kensi sat there looking into Deeks' eyes. He had dark circles underneath them, but he still had the same funny charm in his eyes. A charm she noticed the moment she met him. It was part of his charm that he had saved her, at least that's what she thought. There had been an attraction between them the day they had met. She couldn't deny it. There was something unsaid about Deeks and that's the kind of mystery she loved about him. She didn't know how he felt about her but she was unmistakingly, head over heals in love with him.
