When Kensi was finally released from the hospital, Deeks had taken her to a safe house just outside of LA. It was a one story house. It was dark and a little crammed. The room that would protect her for the next couple of weeks only had a dresser and a bed. Some how Deeks had managed to get clothing for her. She suspected Heidi was involved.
She took the bag Deeks had given to her left hand for her right hand still was bandaged up from the explosion. Deeks helped her unpack making remarks about just about everything she pulled out of the bag.
After they were both unpacked, (Deeks ran home one day to pack a bag for himself) Kensi started to explore the house. The kitchen was small with everything a kitchen really needed, microwave, fridge, and oven. There was a small counter and from what she saw four cabinets and no pantry. The kitchen table was just a fold up table and chairs that could sit four. She figured they'd use the table for poker and few meals. Not much more.
The living room was just one couch, a recliner chair, and a small TV. That was just as much to the house there was except one bathroom with a sink and shower. She took it that she wasn't really aloud outside.
This ought to be fun. Kensi thought to herself. Shockingly, Deeks hadn't made one of his stupid comments about the house. Her phone was incinerated in the blast but it was probably bugged anyways.
"Either Callen or Sam are dropping by tomorrow with food," Deeks said walking out of his room.
"Did you tell them to bring a deck of cards? We'll need something to do to pass the time," she said not at all sounding interested.
"I could mention it to him," Deeks responded as she started walking away. She went back into the living room. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. The screen was fuzzy and you could hardly hear what they were saying.
"The resolution on the TV sucks," she called out to Deeks who was still in the kitchen. She turned on the LA Angels game. They were playing the Detroit Tigers. After a few minutes, Deeks came into join her. As the 5th inning came winding down, a knock came at the front door.
"Get in your room," Deeks shouted at her. She listened and ran to her room. Deeks had pulled his gun out from its hilt and holding it out in front of him, he slowly walked towards the door. He slowly put his eye against the peep hole and saw none other than Mr. G. Callen standing there. "All good Kenz, it's just Callen," Deeks called to her as he opened the door.
Callen came in holding two big brown paper bags holding food, drinks, and entertainment. Callen stayed to help unload the bags and even sat down for a couple innings of the game.
"So how's the case coming?" Kensi asked. She had been very patient to ask this.
"It's coming along. Still no luck on the GPS but we've got all of his Alias' tagged and all credit cards and cell phone records are being monitored," he took a sip of the beer he had been holding while he had been talking.
"We're all just glad you're safe, Kenz," Callen continued after he swallowed. "I told her you wouldn't want to, but Nellie insists on taking you shopping or something after you get back." He gave a small chuckle.
"Tell her I said lunch instead."
"Well, I have to get back there. That terrorist isn't going to bring himself in, although it would be a heck of a lot easier."
After Callen left, Deeks and Kensi finished watching the game. Kensi started digging through the bags of food for some dinner. She found some raw meat and decided on hamburgers. She put a frying pan on the stove and put two meat patties down on top. Deeks came into the kitchen when they were almost done. She pulled them off the pan and on to hamburger buns that she had also found.
"Smells good, Kenz. You've out done yourself. When they finished eating, they both washed the dishes. He had insisted on drying so he wouldn't have to do the hard work.
"You're such a girl," Kensi teased as she waited for the sink to fill with water. She joked as she punched him on the shoulder.
"Ow," he said rubbing his shoulder and laughing a little bit.
"Yep, such a girl," Kensi repeated. But Deeks wasn't about to give up. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and lifter her off the ground. "Hey," she said laughing and trying to get him to loosen his grip. "Put me down!"
He put her down and she faced him. They were both still laughing, but slowly their laughter died down. Deeks leaned down and slowly he kissed her.
