I think you're going to like this chapter because it has little of confronting ideas between Kensi and Deeks, and a lot of sensibility, truth and memories. And, I'm sorry for this tiny little chapter! Just to add that the song used on this chapter is "Drive" by Incubus and all the rights belong to the artists and its associates.

Deeks left speaking with Hetty, grabbing his leather jacket hung on his chair, but Kensi had a word to say:

"I'm going with you."

"No!" – He shouted looking at her. – "My responsibility. I'm going alone."

"You've heard Hetty, and you can see it that everyone who's related to her ended up dead."

"I don't mind."

"Deeks, I'm your partner. I'm going with you."

"No. I can't put you in danger."

"But you can risk yourself?" – He didn't answer and left.

He was acting weird, distant and cold, just like he was when the case touched one of his old alias. And Kensi didn't feel good about it, he didn't care about her, he was rude. So, she followed him, not only just because Hetty ordered her to. He drove directly home. Kensi waited a few minutes and approached the house. From the inside she heard a guitar being played and his voice singing:

"Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear

And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear

Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before

And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal

But lately I'm beginning to find that I

Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

I'll be there"

"Deeks!" – She called, banging the door.

"Hetty told you to follow me, didn't she?" – He said smiling shyly after her nodding. – "Come in."

For some reason, Kensi couldn't that the eyes off the guitar he was holding and his voice from her mind.

"I taught her and offered her an acoustic guitar. That one." – He pointed to the corner of the room where the guitar stand was. – "I know it wasn't her."

"You're saying that because you know it and you can prove it, because you don't believe it, or are you letting your personal opinion speaking higher?"

Kensi prepared herself to hear a screamed answer from him, but instead he barely whispered.

"I just know it."

"Come here." – She said hugging him.

He whispered into her ear:

"I just know it, Kens… I know her for four years, she never received a mentor well…until we met…She said she had troubles, I knew she would tell me. I gave her time, and she told me…everything."

"I believe you." – She looked him in the eyes. -"And her, even though I don't know her personally."

"She's my sister no matter the blood ties… I meet her she was getting a gang initiation. LAPD arrested her and saw her criminal record. I don't know why but I stood sat next her bed, waiting for her to awake up; I didn't believe she could be in a gang. She robbed the convenience store to rob things for her and her mother to eat, and she robbed the drug stores to get the meds to her mother…She's a nice girl, and she's struggling to live. Right now, she'll be given to Social Security charges. Is this fair?"

"Indeed it isn't."

"I can still remember those dinners at her house and then the studying sessions, sitting at her desk with the little lamp illuminating the books and how I was the one being taught when it came to Spanish! She says that she just wants to be normal. Being a dumbass makes you being the joke among the class and being the genius makes you lonely. She just wants to be normal. Then I had to pick her in arms and snuggle her into bed, because she always fell asleep as soon as she opened the physics or math books!"

"I'm pretty sure you've helped her once with a project for the science fair."

"I did, but I don't recall what it was! I just know that she was happy to get on the science fair a project that actually worked. And it wasn't a really big deal."

Kensi smiled picturing that on her head, and Deeks smiled as well reviving it. They sat at the couch and Deeks revealed his talking with Hetty:

"I told Hetty what she told me. Alex has a plan and Hetty is probably telling it everyone right now. We're going to support her. Besides, Eric and Nell must be busy trying to find the real identity of our killer and confirming Alex's brief."

"And you're going to tell me about the plan, right?"

"Right…And, Kensi…thanks for being the only one who didn't judge me."

"You're welcome... partner."

"So, this killer, he knows me, and she said he told her that he always hated me and wants to kill me too, you know, take advantage that I know Alex too close."

"And do you know him?"

"Nope…She said his identity is the one from his cell mate from thirteen years ago."

"Can I be honest with you?"

"About what?" – He was getting exalted. – "I mean, …"

"During this case, I feel like I'm talking to someone else, not you. You seem obsessed with this."

"This is about someone I know and I care about. If it were about you, I'd act-" - Deeks phone started ringing and it created and silent atmosphere. He seriously wanted to tell Kensi the rest of his phrase, and she was looking him, asking with the eyes to finish, but he answered. – "Deeks."

"Mr. Deeks, please come now to the Ops Center. I need to talk with you."

"Did Nell and Eric confirm what Alex told me?"

"And they also found which the real identity of our killer is."

"Ok, be right there."

"And please, bring Ms. Blye."

"Come on Kensi, we have to get back. Eric and Nell are pretty fast." – As he was closing the door, Monty ran towards him. – "No Monty, no! Stay in! Bad boy. Stay there." – The dog turned around and cuddled over the couch.

I really love to make this suspense chapters, with something bad happening. I warn you, next two chapters will be chilling in the away of revelations, feelings to the surface...and finally Deeks' past! But that is for next chapter... You better get ready, but before, leave me a review telling what are think so far and what you think it will happen. And, just to say that I appreciate the reviews I've been getting; this story is going better than what I thought.
