A nice little surprise for you guys :)

At the retreat…

Kensi and Deeks had settled into the cabin and starting to feel a little more relaxed. Their cabin was small, but homey. The queen sized bed located in the center of the room had been draped with mosquito netting, which gave it a romantically rustic appeal. There was a small writing desk located in the corner of the room and a long dress located on the south wall. To the right of the bed was a full sized bathroom.

Kensi was stretched out on the bed like a starfish, basking in the cool of the air conditioner. Deeks stood at the foot of the bed staring down at his faux wife. She looked so cute when she was asleep, he thought to himself. Deeks couldn't help the smile that crossed his face when she snorted in her sleep…absolutely adorable.

A creaking floorboard pulled Deeks from his wandering thoughts. He turned toward the door only to find a strange man standing behind him. The man was around six foot six and was pale as newly fallen snow. His dull lips were pulled down in a disapproving scowl and his black, lifeless eyes appeared to be too small for his massive head. Deeks yelped at the sight of the man and fell back, landing on top of Kensi, waking her immediately.

"What the hell Deeks?" She grumbled as she pushed him off of her.

Deeks scooted him self up against the headboard and pointed at the man standing at the foot of their bed. Kensi looked up and gasped, quickly joining her partner at the head of the bed.

"My name is Ludwig," the man said in a slow deep voice. "I am your counselor. I am here to welcome you."

"Couldn't you have knocked first," Deeks question. "What if we were having…"

"Don't go there," Kensi warned. "Just…don't go there."

Ludwig stared down at them for a moment before speaking again, "Welcome."

"Uh…" Kensi said, squirming uncomfortably under his intense gaze. "T…thanks."

Ludwig gave them a curt nod before making his exit from their room. Once he was out of their sight Kensi let go of the breath that she didn't even realize she had been holding. Then she let go of Deeks, who she didn't realize she had been holding. He rubbed his arm where her fingernails had dug into his flesh, "That dude was…creepy."

"Creepy is an understatement," Kensi said as she walked over to the door and locked it. She was just returning to the bed when they heard Nell and Eric scream in unison.

"It sounds like Lurch paid Nell and Eric a visit," Deeks chuckled.

Kensi shivered with disgust before flopping face down onto the bed next to Deeks. He rolled over to his side and propped himself up on his elbow, "So, oh lovely wife of mine, what are our plans for this afternoon?"

"Well the first thing we need to do and make sure Eric and Nell are still alive," Kensi's voice was muffled by the pillows. "The second thing that we need to do is socialize. We need to find the assassins."

Deeks picked up a strand of Kensi's hair and began twirling in his fingers, "Yeah like that is going to be easy. We don't know what they look like. We don't know their names. We don't know anything about them."

Kensi turned to face him, "we know that they are here."

Deeks shrugged his shoulders, "there are fifty couples here."

"We just have to weed them out."

"Whatever you say princess," Deeks grinned.

Kensi chuckled, "you really get into this husband and wife stuff don't you?"

"Maybe a little," he said with a sly grin. "I consider it good practice."

"Oh?" Kensi asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. "Practice for what?"

"You never know when I'm going to ask a beautiful woman to marry me," he reached up and softly traced the backs of his fingers along her cheek. Kensi smiled warmly, leaning into his touch. He knew that they were on a mission, but her lips looked so plump… so beautiful…so inviting, that he couldn't resist any longer. He closed the gap between them and pressed his lips gently to hers. Kensi, who is often times unpredictable, responded in a way that he hadn't expected. She grabbed a fistful of his shirt and pulled him in close, deepening the kiss. He tangled his fingers in her hair and rolled her over so that she was on top of him.

They had done a stellar job over the last six months of hiding their blossoming relationship. It had become easy for them to separate work from their personal life, but this had been the first "married assignment" they had been on since they had started dating and it was uncharted waters for them.

A knock at the door caused them to come to a screeching halt, "Damn it," Deeks whispered breathlessly against her neck.

Kensi rolled herself off of Deeks and opened the front door. Eric and Nell were both standing there with a look of uncomfortable shock on their faces. "What's up?" Kensi asked, still a little breathless.

Eric cleared her throat, "Uh… diner time." Neither Nell nor Eric would look anywhere but at the ground.

"Are you two okay?" Kensi asked worriedly.

"We're fine," Nell said quickly. "Uh… how about we just meet you up at the mess hall?"

"Sounds good," Kensi said with a smile. "But are you sure you two are okay?"

"Yes," they said in unison before walking away quickly.

Kensi shook her head and walked back to the bed, "I wonder what was up with them?"

Deeks didn't respond, he just stared across the room. Kensi waved her hand in front of his stony face, "Deeks. Hello… anyone home."

"The… uh… window… is open." He said with a hint of terror in his voice.

Kensi whipped her head around so fast she nearly gave herself whiplash. Sure enough, the curtains to the window were partially open. Eric and Nell had seen them! Kensi gasped, "Oh my God."

Deeks scrubbed a hand down his face, "we are so screwed."
