Chapter 8

Kensi was sitting on the couch of the boat-house. Hetty was taking care of her wound because she had a scratch made by one of the bullets. Luckily, the bullet hadn't fully hit her.

Callen and Sam were there too, dying to know what that guy had told Kensi but the younger agent was too busy wincing in pain to answer to them. As soon as Hetty was done they waited for her to start talking.

"I have no idea of who this guy is. He was following me, as you could see and when I cornered him he just said that he knew the truth about my father's death. Before he could say anything else he was shot as you could see through the cameras."

Callen was with his game face on which meant that he wanted to work on this case. He looked at Hetty and the older agent sighed.

"This would normally be a case for other agency to investigate, probably the police department, but as it involves one of our agents we can and must investigate. Ms. Blye will be out of the investigation as it is too close to her not to mention that that wound on your leg is not quite healed yet."

Kensi sighed but knew better than to argue with her boss so she just nodded. Sam went with Hetty to leave Callen and Kensi alone for a while.

"Don't worry…we'll find out what that guy was trying to tell you about your father. Just go home and rest, okay?"

Kensi nodded once again and Callen said, right before leaving:

"Lock the doors!"

XXXXXX

Callen and Sam were staring at the big screen in front of them in pure shock. The guy who had been shot had sent Kensi an email the morning before that had happened explain what had happened to her father but the agents could barely believe in what they were seeing. Only one question haunt Callen's thoughts: how would he tell her the truth?

XXXXXX

Callen walked into the house and was immediately greeted by the smiling agent that was anxiously waiting for news about the case, the news that he did not want to tell her. She must have noticed by the look on his face that the news weren't good so Kensi just sat on the couch and waited for him to say something. Callen sat next to her and took a piece of paper out of his pocket, handing it to Kensi. He didn't have the courage to tell her what was on that email so he had been a coward and had told Eric to print it so she could red it herself.

Kensi opened the sheet of paper and started to read. Callen could see her smile getting smaller with each paragraph until it turned into a complete frown.

Kensi,

I shouldn't be the one to tell you this because we don't even know eachother, at least not anymore. My name is Mark Wilson and our fathers were best friends. We're the same age and I was that annoying five-year-old that used to call you bunny after that week that you spent with that bunny outfit on. My point is, I found out the truth about everything and I think that you must know the truth. Whatever they told you about that night was a lie, a well elaborated scheme to cover for something much worse than that. Your father was involved with the wrong people. In the last couple of times that he shipped off, he brought drugs with him when he came back but I'm sure that as the smart woman you are, you already know that. What you don't know is what comes next. They staged his death. Better yet, your father staged his own death. He figured that the life of an honest man didn't pay off so he decided to leave it all behind and do what he wanted to do with his life. I've been with him and my father ever since then so I can assure you that he's fine and he thinks that he did what was best for you. I decided that I didn't want to follow their lifestyle so I had to tell you this. I'm sorry if it hurt you but I did what I thought was best for you.

Love,
Mark

By the time that she had finished reading she turned to Callen with and expression that he couldn't quite read.

"He abandoned me…He abandoned me thinking that I would be better off without him. That bastard destroyed the confidence that I had on me and on the entire world because he thought that it was what was best for me? It was his fault that I turned out this way and what has he been doing with his life? He's been dealing drugs…"

After that there was a moment of silence and then Callen spoke:

"Is there anything that I can do to make you feel better?"

Kensi set the email aside and kissed him on the lips. It wasn't a passionate kiss like the ones that they were used to share. This was a slow and gentle kiss full of emotions and he kissed back with the same amount of it. When they pulled back she looked into his eyes and said the word that made him melt right there:

"Can you just love me now?"

Callen nodded and kissed her again. He carried her all the way to the bedroom and lied her down on the bed. Then, he climbed on top of her and started to slowly undress her. This time his kisses were designed to show her his feelings for her while he pleasured her. This time, he took things slow. Callen knew that she needed to feel loved right now and that is exactly what he did, he loved her. He took his time warming her up for him and when he did entered her, he did so slowly. He showered her body with kisses while he thrust inside of her with all the calm in the world. All she could do was moan. He knew exactly what to do with her body and how to make her feel wanted and loved at the same time and that's exactly what she needed after reading something like that. Callen made her keep her eyes open so he could look into her eyes the entire time. After they were both spent, he let her get into a comfortable position. Kensi made him lay on his back and lied her entire body on top of his. She knew that she wasn't too heavy for him and he kept his arms wrapped around her until she fell asleep. As soon as she did, he rolled gently to the side so they would both be more comfortable. They had tried to sleep like that once and she had woken up with terrible pains in her neck.

He could swear that if he had seen her father at that time, he would kill him in a blink of an eye for hurting her so much. He would never be able to live with himself if he ever caused her so much pain and he didn't know how that monster could.

He would show her what it meant to be loved.

XXXXXXXXX

I'm sorry that this took so long but I didn't know how to finish it.
