"Hey what color would look better on me? The teal or the dark blue?"
I looked over to Deeks; he was holding up two dress ties and trying to get a reflection from the car windshield. We were on our way to the family's house so I have no idea why he would want to be trying on clothes right now. I looked back over to the road and contemplated my choices.
"Hmm, well. I've never been a girl to fancy clothes or ties for that matter but I'd have to go with the teal. Got a hot date lover boy?"
He scoffed and said "Well, now that you mention it, I do."
"Oh you do? And who would this mystery girl be?" I said mockingly.
"Her name's Vanessa, total babe. I'm taking her out for dinner. You know for my birthday that you just so conveniently forgot about."
I shook my head in disbelief; he's never letting that one go. "Deeks, I honestly thought it was on the 18th. Besides cut me some slack, I almost died."
"Yeah? Well so did I, trying to save your sorry ass."
"Hey! I was doing just fine on my own." I didn't mean to but there was an edge to my voice. As far as I recalled, I was doing just fine on my own. Except for the fact I was about to get shot down with a gun in my face.
"Really Kens?"
I tightened my lips into a thin line. "Yup."
"Hey look at me."
I turned to look at him real quick, good thing we were coming up to a red light anyway, I looked in my rearview real quick, weird I could almost swear I've seen that black sedan somewhere. I shrugged it off, probably a coincidence. I looked back into Deeks' eyes.
"Kens, no matter if you forget my birthday or not, I will always have your back. Even if it means putting my own ass on the line for you to be safe."
I smiled at him while my heart did a backflip, front flip and another backflip. "Thanks Partner, I would do the same whenever."
There was a brief moment of silence in the car as I went back to driving; the family was located somewhere in Compton. So it was a long drive from Venice to Compton, just what I needed. Silence with Deeks.
Just as I was getting ready to say something about the drive Deeks broke the silence. "Besides I couldn't let them kill you with you owing me 20 bucks."
"What? I do not owe you 20 bucks."
"Yeah you did, remember the date you went on with Jeime?"
I sulked in my seat a little. One of the worst dates I've ever been on. If you even call it a date. "Oh… yeah, but that shouldn't count."
"And why not?"
"His mother was there. Besides I was being nice. He saved my life."
"Yeah well so did I, where's my date?"
I was desperately looking for a word to say or just something to say but all I could think and say was "Uhh…"
He scoffed and I could feel his eyes boring into my face "And to think you have my back. Pfft, speaking of which, you said teal right?"
I rolled my eyes, he should be diagnosed with ADD or something. Either way he got off the topic of us dating, which wouldn't be bad now that I think about it, especially considering I apparently professed my love for him last weekend. If he ever found out, he would never let me live it down. I shook my head not even wanting to think about it.
"Wait no teal? You gotta make up your mind Princess. I can only wear one tie."
"I wasn't thinking about the tie, but yeah I take that back. Dark blue is better. So uh, where did you meet Veronica?"
"Vanessa, and the same way you met Ross."
I was about to ask who he was talking about, then I remembered my fake boyfriend. Well if this 'Vanessa' chick exists so does Ross. It's on Deeks.
"Oh, yeah we should totally double date or something." I really don't know why I said that, something just came over me. Like a wave of…jealousy? Nahhh.
"Oh definitely. So how's it going with Ross anyway?"
"Just great actually," I said flashing him a smile. "He's a great guy."
"Right."
"Aww, is wittle Deeks scared of a little competition?"
He narrowed his eyes at me and said "Scared of what? There's nothing to be scared of, why would there be competition?"
I got to admit, that hurt a little.
"I don't know, maybe if you-" I stopped talking and stared into my rearview mirror, I saw a black sedan weaving in between cars getting closer. I knew I had seen that car a while back.
"Deeks, we've got company."
He turned around and looked behind us, "Oh hell, and right when I had to choose between shirts too."
I rolled my eyes, and took a sharp left into a narrow alleyway. I drove straight and turned right. I looked back into my mirror, yup we were being followed. I should've known we were being followed instead of being distracted by Deeks. Come on Kensi, get it together. I took another sharp right and headed back towards the highway. Deeks, on the other hand was busy stashing his clothes and accessories into the back seat. He pulled out his gun and loaded a magazine and clicked the safety off.
I looked into the mirror and noticed they had caught up to us, I turned into a road that led us to a dirt road, construction site area, the car spun as I slammed the breaks and I waited until we stopped I turned off the engine and grabbed my Sig out of the glove box. Deeks and I opened our doors and used them as shields, hm reminds' me of the time we confronted the Russians about the book. Focus Blye.
The black sedan came up just as I thought it would have. They skidded to a stop about 20ft away and two men got out with their semiautomatics. They looked European, mid to late 30's with brownish blonde hair. They could've passed as siblings.
"Federal Agents, drop your weapons!" I yelled.
"Drop `em." Deeks said.
Of course for some reason that means let's start firing to criminals. I ducked into the car. I popped up and shot twice at the men. I ducked back as they fired and I saw Deeks pop up and shoot. "Deeks cover me; draw their fire I'll take them out."
"Why do you have to be the one to take them out?"
"Cause I said so."
"You just want me to get shot."
"Deeks, that's a horrible thing to say! Now go."
He popped up and shot at both men, I popped up at the same time and hit one of the guys in the torso. He went down, the other blonde guy made the mistake of looking back to look at his partner. I shot him in the chest twice. Both went down.
I looked over to Deeks and smirked "And that's why I take them out."
"And that's why I take them out. Oh please." He said mocking me.
I laughed a little and started to make my way over to the dead guys when all of a sudden I heard a shot fire and Deeks yell. "Kensi!"
Hey guys! So I made time to finish and upload this chapter so I hope you all like it. I took a little inspiration from Tuesday's episode. SO GOOD btw. I decided to stick with Kensi's point of view just because I love her so much, I left you all with a small cliffhanger, hey anything can happen, don't think the worst! Lol keep doing what you all do on here!
