Eric tries Kensi's phone again. He's called four times already, not including the three times he called Deeks.

"Nell, I think something's wrong. Neither of them are answering their phones."

"Well before you call out the team, why don't you activate the internal listening device. Make sure they are really in trouble."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Women are generally more level headed than men." Nell says matter of factly

Eric connects both Nell and his headset to the listening device.

"Is that what I think it is?" Nell says in shock.

"It depends… if you think it sounds like they are having sex, then yes, yes it is."

Nell leans over Eric and presses the disconnect button.

"We should not be listening in on their private time" she says in a scolding manor

"Well, I was just making sure they were ok."

"They're ok"

"With what we heard they are MORE than ok." Eric says with a huge smile.

Nell slaps him on the arm.

"Did you get a hold of them yet? Are they ok?" asks Callen as he walks in

Both Nell and Eric take twenty dollar bills out of there wallet and hand it to Callen.

"They're fine!" Nell remarks and walks away

"What the hell is this for? Wait, you guys know too? How?"

"Let's just say I will never activate internal listening devices on these two unless absolutely necessary."

"Wait, you need to connect it again."

"Not a chance G, Kensi will kill me if she finds out and she is a lot scarier then you."

"Damn, am I gonna be the last to actually catch them?"

"Catch who?" Hetty asks

She snuck in at some point during the conversation, but with her ninja abilities not one of them know when.

"No one!" All three exclaim at once.

"Uh huh."

Just then Eric's headset rings.

"Hi Eric, sorry I missed your call. Deeks went out to grab ice and I was in the shower. Did you find anything?"

"Ice. Riiiigghhht. Melissa and Larry checked in today. There is very little on them in the system. Looks like an alias. I am running facial rec based on their licenses at the other hotels, but it's going to take a while."

"Thanks Eric, we are meeting them for dinner at eight so we'll follow up after. Later!" Kensi hangs up.

"Deeks, you sure you checked the room for bugs?"

"Yea, why?"

"Eric just seemed weird, almost like he knew something." Kensi replies as she is finishing getting dressed.

Just then the room phone rings. Deeks answers and lets the person on the other end know that they are heading down.

"Let's go Sweetheart. The limo is here."

When they arrive at Providence, they are immediately seated. They enjoy an amazing nine course meal with wine pairings, and a Crème Brule that was to die for. Everything seems normal, and safe enough so Kensi excuses herself to use the restroom. A few minutes later Deeks does the same. When they return there are fresh cappuccinos waiting. Kensi takes a small sip and notices something strange. She grabs her napkin and immediately brings it to her mouth.

"Does his have nutmeg in it?" She gasps

"I don't think so. Why?" asks Melissa

"We are both allergic. I swear this tastes like it has nutmeg in it."

Kensi looks over at Deeks and almost in a panic says "We have to go now… I have the allergy meds at the hotel."

Deeks takes the cue and follows along. "I'm sorry but we have to go now. Excuse me sir, we need to leave right away, can you please run this card immediately."

The waiter returns very quickly with the card and they all head out.

When they get back to the hotel Melissa and Larry insist on escorting Deeks and Kensi back to their suite. The minute Deeks unlocks the door he is bum rushed by Larry and Melissa pulls Kensi in right after. Unfortunately, Melissa was unaware of Kensi's more lethal qualities, and is immediately knocked out. Waiting inside are two more individuals, both men, and caught off guard by Kensi's resistance. Deeks on the other hand is battling it with Larry, when one of the men grabs him from behind. The other man persues Kensi, but before he knows it she has her gun drawn and shoots him in the leg. Larry is startled by the noise and turns which gives Deeks enough time to get out of the hold he is in and incapacitate the other unknown man.

With all except Larry down for the count, Kensi points her gun at him, and he quickly surrenders.

Deeks cuffs Larry and says to Kensi in a whine, "I thought we would get to stay at least one night!"

Once all the perps were secured Kensi calls it in, and in no time the police were there to take them all into custody.

A few hours later the team meets for a debriefing, and gets a full understanding of the mission. It so happened that Melissa and Larry were actually Taylor and Kyle Westhaven. Their accomplices were Harold Johnson and Jordan Clairmont. The four creeps were army brats that lost parents in different military acts over the years. They blamed wealthy military, who they felt sent others out to do the dirty work while they sat and enjoyed the luxuries of their wealth. It didn't make sense to the team, but it was their motivation in the killing.

As they were all about to head out, Heady speaks in a harsh tone.

"Ms. Blye. Mr. Deeks. May I have a word with you?"

The two look at each other and silently head downstairs. Heady takes a seat and motions for them to do the same.

"I understand that you two have given your partnership a new meaning."

Kensi and Deeks start to speak at the same time, both trying to come up with some excuse.

Heady just raises both hands, "Please let me finish. I am very happy for the both of you. It is about time you realized there is more to life than your work. Just understand this, if I feel at any time this is affecting your ability to do your job, I will not hesitate to correct the matter by any means possible. The safety of my team as a whole is my greatest responsibility. Understood?"

Both Deeks and Kensi respond with a nod.

"And" Heady continues, "as a reward for wrapping up this case in a quick and efficient manner, I have upgraded your room at L'Ermitage and arranged for a late checkout tomorrow. Enjoy your evening, and breakfast is on me."

With that final remark Heady walks away smiling as she knows without looking back that both of her agents' mouths have dropped open. Deeks and Kensi slowly turn to face each other, smile and run to grab their things.
