Eric Beal cannot keep secretes. He couldn't even keep one to save his life. Yes he went undercover with the others but even then he nearly got himself killed.
Eric started to pace around the boat shed. He was trying to think of what they would tell him. Hopefully there was no way they would get him to keep one of the biggest secrets that was now at NCIS.
As he continued pacing, Kensi and Deeks walked into the room. Kensi's hair was still wet from the shower.
Eric spotted the pair and walked over.
Eric we need to tell you something," Kensi said, her voice steady and calm.
"Kensi and I have been dating for a month now," Deeks told him.
Eric just nodded his head, waiting for more. Well, what he hoped was more because in his opinion that was a pretty crap explanation.
"The others don't know that we are dating. Not even Hetty or the Director knows," Deeks told him.
" Please don't them say it, please don't let them say it…" Eric pleaded to himself.
"So we need you to keep this a secret from the others. Especially from Hetty and the Director," Kensi said with attempted puppy dog eyes.
" Eric you cannot tell anyone what you have just witnessed us doing," Deeks told him.
Eric looked at Kensi and then over to Deeks. Why did he have to be the one to witness their…thing?
"Guys you know that I can't keep secrets," Eric told them.
" Eric, we know you can't but you need to do this for us," Deeks told him.
" Guys, I..." Eric said as Kensi took a step closer to him.
"Please Eric?" Kensi pleaded.
Eric looked from Deeks to Kensi. He had no other choice.
"Fine. I will keep this a secret from the others," Eric told them not liking what was going to happen during the remainder of the day.
Deeks and Kensi smiled at him.
"But you do know that sooner or later the others will find out right. Especially Hetty," Eric warned
Kensi and Deeks nodded their heads.
"We know Eric. We just need you to keep this a secret for now," Kensi said.
" You know you two owe me big time for this right?" he asked the abashed pair them as they nodded in agreement.
To get off the awkward topic Deeks cleared his throat.
"So why did you come and find us in the first place anyway?" Deeks asked the tech guru.
"Hetty just wanted me to make sure that you two hadn't killed each other yet," Eric said with a smile that made Deeks and Kensi laugh.
" Don't worry. We haven't that's for sure," Kensi replied with a mischievous smile on her face.
