Nate sits with Deeks as Tony heads back to OPs, "He past out."
Ducky nods in understanding, "Marty has taken the news very hard and with his shoulder wound and what maybe be a few other problems mixed with his exhaustion his finally made him fall asleep trying to cope with everything all at once. Give him time to get it."
Hetty sighs and looks around the room, "Mr. Gibbs will lead this investigation but your team will be there to. Sam thing if feel need to pull someone they will be pulled from this case."
They all nod, "What about Deeks?" McGee asked.
She shakes her head, "Until we know what really happened need to keep him here which is the safest place for him."
Gibbs nods as they all head out and he looks in the office and see Deeks asleep and Nate looking out the window and he follows the rest of the group to the bullpen and Abby sits down in Deeks desk and Sam next to her, "What now boss?" Tony asked.
Ziva answers, "Now we catch whoever did this and make them pay."
Callen sets a hand on her shoulder, "Ziva, we know but what Gibbs? My team is already down 2 agents."
Gibbs looks around at the two teams, "We go and look at the scenes and see if same person or anything else."
~~NCIS:LA~~
Sam pulls up to the house once again and see the police tape is there but Kensi's car had been towed back to Mission which they were glad for since not sure what would be going through their heads if had seen it and turn to see Ziva and Tony, "Ready?"
They both nod and walk to the front door and inside can see the three pools of blood, "Jason was there," he points to the first patch. "Kensi and the gunman," Sam tells them.
Ziva starts to look around and Tony takes pictures and Sam walks around and Ziva asked, "You work with her other than those cases?"
Tony looks at his partner, "A few times she would fly out here and see Gibbs and we would all get together. From what I heard they were close," Tony shudders at the memory of how bad their team had taken the few deaths over the past few years and knew it was going to be hard for all of them.
"That's why Vance sent us here?" Ziva asked them.
"Callen was shot after Gibbs and McGee had left after a case here. Vance called and made sure we all were on next flight to DC that same hour. Callen and Kensi are like kids to him just like he sees our team and he served in Desert Storm with Callen and would be here for him."
She nods and see Sam staring out the window before pulling out his gun, "What?"
Sam sees a black SUV park behind his Challenger and the driver and passenger get out and he sighs holstering his gun, "It's only Renko."
Mike Renko and Pat Holden walk inside the house, "Shalom Ziva," Renko said greeting her. "Hey Tony."
Sam shakes his fellow agents hands having no doubt Hetty was going to recall the other team if they weren't already on a case, "Thanks for coming Mike and Pat."
Sam shakes his head at his friend, "I thought you were on a case?"
"Kens, was a great agent and friend and when we heard on the news two agents were killed here in LA and first thought was your team since Hetty only has two teams pretty much and then Mike called and confirmed it was you and we had the chance to end the case and we took the chance."
Mike groans and rubs his sore arm, "Just some bad times for us ahead as a team."
Sam rests his hand on the other senior agents shoulders sensing they too were taking it hard especially Renko who had been her first partner, "We will catch them."
~~NCIS:LA~~
Callen, Gibbs and McGee walk to the original crime scene and could still see the police tape up and start to look around, "You and Sam never got here?" Gibbs asked his friend.
Callen nods looking around, "We were about to leave the bullpen when Nell told us Kensi had requested back-up and she had heard shots fired and we got there in 5 minutes and 7 after she called but in the end he was dead when we got there and she died on the table."
Gibbs rests a hand on his shoulder, "G, don't blame yourself for this. Your team needs you more than ever right now."
"Have no idea how Deeks will be able to handle this. He has the team and he knows that but Kensi was his rock in NCIS and the driving force for him to stay with us."
Gibbs sighs, "Deeks will take time to heal from the thoughts of 'what if' but in time he will be there and why needs Sam and you more then ever. To remind him your there for him when he needs someone to lean on and get him over this that knows what he's going thru."
~~NCIS:LA~~
Deeks wakes up some time later to screaming from a nightmare and Ducky walks into the office and lays a hand on his shoulder, "Martin, are you alright?"
He shakes his head as Nell hands him a cup of coffee, "How long been out?"
Nell sighs and sits down next to him and wraps her arms around him and Ducky pats them both on the shoulder before leaving them alone, "Been about 5 hours but you okay Marty? Worried everyone when you passed out after hearing the news and you also look like hell warmed over."
He lays back down, "Was just having a nightmare. Just been exhausted and running on fumes and guess finally caught up."
"Everyone can see that just been worried after you collapsed."
He puts his good arm over his eyes, "What time is it?"
She looks at time on her phone, "Past ten but you hungry?"
He shakes his head, "Don't think could anything down been sick before got anything."
Nate knocks before entering, "Deeks good to see your awake but how feeling?"
He sits up and leans his head against back of the couch looking at the ceiling, "Like was my fault that one time wasn't there for her and she was killed and I was away."
Nate sits down on the coffee table in front of him, "Deeks no one could have known this was going to happen and don't blame yourself."
"Kens always trusted me to have her back during a firefight and we always came out even if banged up always still as strong as ever and now the one time she needed me I wasn't there and look what happened she was shot and killed because she didn't have the right-"
Nell pulls him into a hug, "She said something before EMT's got there," they look at her. "That she loved us all."
Nate watches as she starts to cry and wrap his arms around her, "Kensi, will be truely missed by everyone here by the looks since 3 teams are looking for these people."
Deeks drinks more coffee, "Know Gibbs team is here but also Renko and his team?"
He nods, "Kensi had worked with Mike when he was on the team and had been before he moved to another team and he saw her as a brother and vise-versa."
Everyone looks up from the spot their at as Deeks and Nate walk in, "Deeks?" Ziva asked.
He sits down at his desk and sighs, "Just need to go home and get some rest."
Gibbs pats his on the shoulder, "Sure we can all head back and get some rest and start fresh in the morning."
Sam heads to his locker and Hetty walks over, "You and Mr. Callen are staying with him?"
He nods and looks at Deeks staring at his partners desk, "Going to be tough on him for quite a while?"
"It's a good thing he has us all here for him and none of you should be alone tonight. Take Ms. Jones and Mr. Beale with the others and go get something to eat."
"Sure sounds like a good idea if paying," he said as a joke.
She frowns but hands him a card, "She will be truly missed by everyone here but go and get something to eat and watch out for each other."
Deeks grabs his bag and slings over his good shoulder and heads outside where Callen walks over, "Come on going to get dinner and then home."
He shakes his head, "Callen not in the mood to be with company."
He pats him on the shoulder, "Well don't matter just be there and silent if want to. No one should be alone today."
Deeks nods and heads back inside and heads to Hetty's office, "Hetty did someone find Monty?"
She looks up and shakes her head, "Sorry no one knew where he was."
"You coming with us?" He asked her and she could see the hurt in his eyes.
She sets her cup and saucer down, "Yes, I will meet the teams at the bar in a while."
