Silent Secrets

Chapter 8

Deeks had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that wouldn't go away. He had this feeling before when he felt something wasn't quite right. Deep in thought, Deeks rubbed his stomach and frowned. His partner Kensi glanced at him, noticing his actions she sensed something was troubling her usually talkative cohort.

"You hungry Deeks?" Kensi asked.

Deeks looked up to the sassy brunette, "Huh? What makes you think I'm hungry Kens?"

"You're rubbing your stomach. We could get pizza if you like?"

"Oh..I was rubbing my stomach because I have a nagging feeling that something's not right"

"Like what Deeks?"

"I dunno. I feel like I've got to go check on Sharni"

"Okay if you want to go check I'll come with you. We can grab a pizza on the way", Kensi said rubbing her own tummy.

"What is it with you and food Kensi? You always have to be eating? It's a wonder you stay so skinny!"

An often practiced right hand punch to Deeks' left arm soon let him know she didn't think much about that comment.

"I have good genes" Kensi retorted.

"Mutant ninja assassin genes", mumbled Deeks, which promptly earned him another punch.

"Ow! What was that for?" he innocently cried, to which Kensi rolled her eyes.

After picking up their favourite pizza, Deeks and Kensi drove the thirty minutes out to the safe house that Deeks knew well. He had stayed there after an earlier human trafficking case saw him badly beaten and ending up asking for help from Hetty. She had grown fond of the young cheeky detective and helped him to join NCIS as a police liaison and permanent partner for Kensi. The deal had worked out perfectly for everyone involved.

They arrived at the flats and immediately saw the carnage surrounding them. Drawing their guns Deeks took the front door while Kensi took the back.

"Federal Agents!" Kensi called out, as she searched through the now empty rooms.

"Sharni's gone Kensi. I'll take a bet that Glen Nichols has taken her" Deeks said.

"He must have been watching her then, to find our safe house and take her. It's now whether he'll keep her alive" nodded Kensi. "I'll call the OSP, let them know what's happened here".

Callen and Sam soon arrived at the safe house and were surprised at the bloody scene before them.

"He knew how to take out the protection detail, G. This guy isn't messing around" Sam said.

"He's a cold blooded killer and he's on a mission. He believes Sharni has talked to us about him", Callen paused, "We may not be able to find her in time before he kills her or starts to put his plan into motion".

"We're still not sure what his plan is Callen" shrugged Kensi, "How do we start?".

"Okay, we'll call the guys in to clear up this mess, let's get back to OSP and go over what we know so far. There may be something we can find" Callen replied.
