CHAPTER 8

Deeks had no idea how long he had been in this hell, falling in and out of some drug induced haze and in and out of consciousness. He had no idea the extent of the pain and torture he had endured. His body trembled and shook and was feverish. His skin was pale and his still naked form was battered and broken beyond belief. He winced with every breath and struggled to focus on something, anything. The questions and beatings continued for most of the day.

"Sunshine. Sweet sunshine." He felt like the sun was washing over him, giving him warmth. What he had mistaken for sunshine was actually the fever as it worsened in his body. The thought of sunshine brought to him the memory of a face with mismatched hazel eyes and a smile that melted his heart. "Kensi!" He mumbled at barely a whisper. A small smile graced his dry, cracked lips, but only for a moment.

"Who is this Kensi?" Peta asked firmly. The smile could only mean one thing. "Perhaps a lover?" Deeks mumbled incoherently when he heard him say her name. That confirmed to Peta that Kensi was definitely someone important to his prisoner. "How would you like it if I brought this Kensi here so you could watch as I do to them what I have done to you?"

Deeks tensed his body and struggled with what little strength he had. Not Kensi, not his ray of sunshine. The thought of anyone hurting her was worse than any pain he had endured over the last few days. "No...mmhm, not her."

"This Kensi is not an agent is she?" Peta wondered. "Will she come for you?"

Deeks coughed up a bit of blood and it splattered on the floor. "No, No..." He stammered. The pain in his body was getting worse. He needed more salvation, he craved it.

"I think you've had enough for now." Peta flashed one of his vile smiles. He reached a finger up to Deeks' chest and traced the outline of one of his bruises. "I hate seeing your beautiful form so ravaged and broken. I think you should come with me to Russia and be my personal companion. I will take much better care of you there where I know that no one will be looking for you." He pulled a syringe out, offering salvation once again to Deeks.

Sam and Callen sat in one of the dark SUVs that the agency had. They didn't think it was wise to use Sam's Charger. One had a camera in hand, while the other a pair of binoculars. They each had in their earwigs so they could communicate with Kensi and Jimmy who were waiting down the street in her silver Cadillac.

Eric had gone over the outside video surveillance at Bayleaf Organics and discovered that Dmitri had definitely been killed inside the building. There was some video footage from the back of the building that showed his body being loaded into the trunk of a Crown Victoria. He and Nell were both still working on cracking into the inside video surveillance. Now that he had Nells help, he was getting closer and closer. They hoped to have control of the feeds before Kensi went inside.

Kensi's insides cringed as she sat in her car next to Jimmy. He was such a pig and she had to fight hard not to punch the daylights out of him.

"What you say we have a little fun before we go inside?" He suggested, raising his eyebrows excitedly in that 'hubba hubba' kind of way.

"Would you just shut up." Kensi snapped. "Let's go over this again. We go in, you refer me to the receptionist, and get out. Don't do as we talked about and you go back to jail. Got it?"

"How am I supposed to answer you if you told me to shut up?" He asked, being a total smart ass. She glared at him angrily. "Aw, come on princess. Just relax."

Kensi shoved him hard against the passenger door. "Only one person has ever called me that." She thought about Deeks. He had called her a lot of names. She acted like she hated every one of them, but deep down, she kind of liked them. Fern was the most ridiculous of the names, but it also made her smile the most. She'd never admit that to Deeks though.

Through the earwig, Sam interrupted the two of them. "Try not to kill him Kens." She loosened her grip on Jimmy and pulled away. Jimmy was lucky that Sam spoke up.

Callen spotted Vasily entering the building. "Vasily's inside. You guys are good to go." He said.

"Are you ready?" Kensi asked Jimmy.

He nodded. "I guess."

Kensi put the car in drive and pulled them into the parking lot of Bayleaf. "Remember what I said?" She gave him a sideways glance.

"Yeah, yeah. Stupid parole!" He mumbled. "I screw this up, I go back to jail."

Jimmy had informed them that the men at Bayleaf don't typically search people that enter for weapons or anything. In fact, some people brought in things they liked to use so they can torture the person they planned on spending the hour or evening with. So, Kensi opted out of her usual weapon, but decided to keep her backup gun strapped to her calf. She didn't dare go in unarmed. She also had on a hidden camera. It was in the necklace she had around her neck.

After she parked, Kensi and Jimmy exited the car. Kensi had an envelope of cash in her hand to pay her way in. She also had her I.D. handy. She planned to use her real identity, but had Eric change her records in case they ran her name through the system. If they did that, they would discover she was Kensi Marie Blye, nurse at the UCLA Medical Center, and widow to a very rich man who had ties to a known drug cartel in Los Angeles. This man didn't exist, but no one but her, Eric, and the team would know that.

Jimmy held the door open for Kensi, the first gentleman like thing he had done all day. They walked to a perky lady at the front desk. "Here for a little fun?" She asked, flashing a mischievous grin. She pushed a strand of red hair behind her ear. "Weren't you here last night, Jimmy?"

"Uh, yeah, yeah. Had a great piece of ass last night, but I'm here to refer a friend." Jimmy nodded to Kensi. "She lost her husband recently and is looking to have a good time."

"Oh, well you know the routine, Jimmy." She said, eyeing Kensi and looking her over from head to toe. Kensi had on a tan trench coat over a pair of skinny jeans and sparkly top and on her feet were a pair of $800 leather boots that went up to her knees. She carried a Louis Vuitton handbag and she also donned a pair of huge diamond earrings, courtesy of Hetty. Hetty had told Kensi that if she was a widow to a rich man, she had to dress the part.

Kensi held out the envelope in her hand. "I have cash." She said nervously.

"You've never been to a place like this before have you?" The woman asked, taking the money and counting it.

"Is it that obvious?" Kensi offered her I.D.

She took it and placed it in a pile with those of any other clients who were there that night. "Alright, you're good to go." She moved from her chair and swiped her card at the door behind her. The double doors opened. "Just go down to the other door and let the man know what you're looking for and hopefully we have what you want. Oh, and have fun." She smiled as Kensi went through the door.

"Time to get out Jimmy." Callen said through the earwig. Jimmy did as told. He didn't want to risk going back to jail.

Kensi walked slowly to another door, this one large and metal, at the end of the hallway. A burly man stood waiting. He opened the door and motioned her inside. "So what's your poison tonight? Man, woman?" He asked, speaking with a deep voice.

"Uh, man. I'm looking for, I mean, I'd like a blonde man if you have one." She stammered. "My late husband was blonde."

"Sorry, no blondes." The man replied. He lead her down a corridor. This part of the building wasn't like the lobby. It had cinder-block walls and concrete floors. It was dimly lit and was borderline creepy. She passed doors on either sides of the corridor. She could hear moans and other sounds coming from behind a few of the doors. He stopped at a door and opened it. There was a thin, pale, younger man on a bed in the center of the room. His eyes were glossed over and he seemed to be in a haze. He was completely naked. "This is the best I can offer you, you got one hour."

Kensi made a face at the strong scent of urine that emanated from a bucket in the corner. "What's wrong with him?" She asked.

"Ah, it's just the drugs. He'll become a bit more lucid as the hour progresses. He's one of our most popular among the ladies." The man stepped out and closed the door behind her.

Kensi's eyes grew wide at the realization of what was happening. She had just paid to have sex with someone who was being drugged and held against his will. "Uh, guys?" She said softly, hoping Sam and Callen would hear her over the coms. "I'm in and this is definitely Vasily's base of operations."

"Ok, stay put." Callen said. "We're coming in."

"I'll alert LAPD." Sam added in.

The young man in the room with Kensi let out a few soft moans, but she ignored them. She reached down for her backup gun. She began debating on whether or not she would stay put or risk going out in search of Deeks. She stood with her ear perched against the door, waiting and listening.

After what seemed like an eternity, she could hear commotion and then gunfire. That was her que to exit the room.

Eric spoke through their coms from his chair in ops. "We've been able to hack into the lobby cameras."

"Just hacked into the rest of the cameras and caught Vasily entering a room at the end of a corridor." Nell added as she was browsing the different screens in front of her that were showing footage of inside the building.

Kensi opened the door slowly with her gun poised and ready. She peaked out, realizing she was near the end of one of the corridors. Some LAPD members were at the other end of the corridor shooting out a couple of goons with guns. "I'm going to find Vasily." She said.

"No, Kens, stay where you are." Sam ordered, but he knew she wouldn't listen.

Kensi went to the end of the corridor and took in a deep breath before reaching for the handle of the only door there. She opened it and nearly gasped at the sight before her. Her eyes swelled with tears and she felt her heart sink.

Please review and let me know your thoughts. I know, huge cliffhanger. Sorry for that, but I'll update soon.
