I looked around the now decorated and painted house. The hall was a brown color and it had a bench next to the door. The house defiantly had touches from both Paige and Sam, like the art hanging on the wall in the living room. I looked at the red walls in the living room as well as the 56 inch TV positioned perfectly across from the black leather couches. I looked into the kitchen and saw it was stocked with everything from my apartment as well as some other things. I saw a nice alcohol cabinet in the back by the little pantry. I wandered through the dining room where there was a nice oak dining table with enough chairs to seat our team.
For the first time since we got home I felt G put his arms around me. He silently pulled me toward the bedroom. I let him pull me into the room and I gasped. Sitting in the middle of the room was a king sized bed. It was huge and it looked so comfortable. I turned around and looked at G.
"Thank you, I love it" I said smiling almost in tears.
"Hey don't cry, what's wrong." He said pulling me into his arms.
"I just didn't expect this, I love it" I said smiling at him. I hugged him then ducked around him and went to explore. I found the back living room and turned on the lights. The room had been turned into a man cave of sorts but I knew both G and I would enjoy it. On one wall there was three TV's right next to each other all ready for football. On one side of the TV's was a wall of University of Washington and Boise State University gear. On the other side there was NFL, NBA, and NASCAR stuff hung up.
I turned to find a small fully stocked bar on the other side of the room. I kept looking around and that was when I spotted the old video games setups like pacman, Donkey Kong, and Mario Bros. I turned back toward the door and saw G smiling. I noticed next to him the wall had a seam where there shouldn't have been one.
"What's that" I said walking over to the wall.
"Well you wanted a gun cabinet and lets just say Paige went a little crazy" he said smiling.
"Okay how do I open it" I said a little nervous.
"Well way one is to go through a long process or you can do the voice activation" he said sitting in one of the chairs by the TVs.
"Open" I said looking at the wall.
"Name please" it said back. I jumped back reaching for my gun initiatively.
"Christy DeVries" I said walking back over.
"Thank you maam please enter" the voice said as the wall slid to the side and revealed a walk in gun closet that was damn near as big as the master bedroom. I ran my hands over all of my guns, knives, bomb making supplies, and my uniforms along with all my other military equipment.
I wandered out and turned to G smiling. He turned and smiled getting up and walking over to me. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him as tight against me kissing him. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his body. I smiled as he laughed at my actions but he still held me in his arms. I kissed him again and I felt him start walking toward our room. He pulled my shirt off over my head as soon as we hit the room. I felt his hands run up and down my back. I reached my hands under his shirt and slid it off over his head. I rolled over on top of G continuing to kiss him. His hands ran down my back and continued farther.
I shot straight up and froze taking a few deep shaky breathes. G sat up from under me as well looking at me with worried eyes. I got my breathe and heartbeat under control rolling over and laying back against the pillows.
"Hey you okay" G said looking around the room nervously wondering if I had heard or seen something.
"I… I um I'm fine, I just I mean my scar just started hurting I'll be fine" I said lying. He pulled me into his arms and held me for what seemed like hours but it must have been five or ten minutes. He slid off the bed grabbing his shirt and putting it on. I sat up and glanced over at him as he strapped his gun on and grabbed his badge.
"You leaving" I said grabbing my shirt and throwing it on as well.
"Hetty wants Sam and I in the office but I'll be home as soon as I can, maybe we can talk about stuff then" he said smiling before kissing me and grabbing his boots.
"Kay I will see you tonight" I said faking a smile. G walked out of the house and I heard his car start. I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I sat there for a while until I had to move. I got up and wandered through the house wondering what I was going to do for two weeks while I waited to go back to work.
I ended up lying on the black leather couch watching sports highlights and old movies. I finally got up and wandered into the kitchen opening the fridge looking for something to eat. I noticed a set of ten Tupperware containers label with either dinner or lunch. I recognized Paige's hand writing and pulled one of them out. It was some sort of meal that was fully prepared. I sighed and set it back down in the fridge. I had just figured out what to do and it was with Paige's help. I made a mental note to remember to thank her.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ A Few Hours Later $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I handed the guy cooking my burger a ten and took the burger. He smiled and winked at me before turning back to his grill. I wandered back out onto the boardwalk and continued to walk down it. I looked at all the things for sale before finding a place on the beach to sit. I sat there for a while watching people walk by until I got bored. I was about to get up when I heard someone yell. I turned just in time to brace myself as a twenty some thing guy landed on top of me.
"Ohh god I am so sorry" he said untangling himself from me. He helped me up and I brushed some of the sand off of my shirt.
"Oh no worries but I have to ask why'd ya tackle me and not the girl over there" I said pointing at another girl down the beach.
"Well to be honest your cute" he said with a smirk "ohh and I was goin for the touchdown." I looked at the football in his hand and smiled back grabbing my things.
"You don't have to go" he said quickly.
"Don't worry I will be back but there's a nice set rolling in and I don't want to miss it" I said grinning back at him. I wandered bare footed back to the car throwing my bag in the back and unstrapping my surfboard. I took my shirt off revealing a jet black bikini top with a yellow fox on it. A few guys looked over but I ignored them for the most part. I walked back down and surfed for a few hours.
Finishing my surfing I walked back onto shore carrying my surfboard. I grabbed my clothes and threw a sweatshirt on over my swimsuit. Once I got onto the boardwalk I turned and looked to my left. A man blew past me at a full sprint down onto the beach. Just then Kensi and Deeks ran past me after him yelling and cursing. I knew I shouldn't do anything but I couldn't resist I handed my board to a kid saying something about me being right back before following along the boardwalk where the purp was running on the beach. I was damn near neck and neck when the guy jumped back onto the boardwalk. I lunged at him knocking him back over the edge of the boardwalk.
We fell the five feet it was to the sand below struggling all the while. Deeks picked me up and set me on my feet. Kensi picked the guy up and handcuffed him.
"So how's that time off going" Deeks said smiling.
"To be honest it's great, I get to hang out on the beach and surf oh and eat whatever I want" I said smiling back. I wanted to tell him I couldn't take being off this long but it had been one day I wasn't about to break.
"Hey Kensi, Deeks you guys get him" I heard G say from the top of the boardwalk. I took a few steps back so I was under the boardwalk where I knew G and Sam wouldn't be able to see me.
Deeks glanced over at me before answering G "Yeah we did, he tried to run but he fell off the boardwalk." I smiled at Deeks and wandered off under the boardwalk back toward my car. I grabbed my surfboard from the kid who looked at me like I was crazy. When I got back to my car G was standing there with a smug look on his face. I knew he knew I had helped and I also knew I was going to get hell when I got home. I walked past him putting my board of the top of the car and strapping it down.
"So how was your day on the beach" G said pulling me into his arms.
"Well" I said ducking out of his arms to grab my shorts in the front seat "it was quite fun, I played football with some guys, I surfed, oh and I helped Deeks and Kensi get a dangerous criminal. How bout you?"
"Well like you said we took down a dangerous criminal it's a win win really" he said leaning against my car.
"First, Get Off My Car, second how's it a win win for you I took the guy down and you did nothing" I said glaring at him.
"Well I got to see you didn't I" he said smiling and turning toward where Deeks Kensi and Sam were talking. I grabbed his arm and wrapped my arms around Callen's neck and kissed him.
"See you tonight" I said getting in the car and driving home. I got out and put my surfboard in the garage. I grabbed all of my stuff and wandered into the house. I started a load of laundry and I wandered into the living room. I sat down and turned on the new Hangover movie settling down.
I sat up slowly looking around my cell. I sighed and took a scrap of the blanket on my cot wrapping up my leg where I had more than twelve deep gashes. I heard the door creak open revealing Antonio standing there smiling at me. I shuttered and instinctively pulled my body into a ball. He walked over and grabbed me picking me up and showing me against the wall. I cringed feeling my body screaming in pain. I knew what was coming and I knew the only way to stop it was to tell him. If I told him that his father was buried in the cemetery near D.C. then maybe he would leave me alone. I had visited the grave more than I had visited my family's grave. He had been a father and mentor, I hated that he had been the one I was supposed to arrest.
"Tell me and you can be free" Antonio said snapping me out of my thought.
"No" I said spitting the blood in my mouth at his face. He slammed me down onto the bed again and kneeled over me. I struggled to be free but I was too weak. He used his free hand to stroke my cheek. I flinched away from him and I could see him getting angry. He undid his belt using it to tie my hands up. I struggled again knowing I was not getting away. He took off his jacket and his nice shirt revealing the necklace of Saint Christopher he always wore. I struggled again and fell off the cot. He walked over and picked me up and set me back on the bed. He started running his hands down my back and I struggled away from him. He was getting mad now and he pulled me back over ripping my jeans.
I screamed and sat up looking around the dark room. All the lights were off and the TV was playing a rerun of some stupid comedy. I heard someone running and G opened the front door with his gun out. I was in the middle of an uncontrollable sob when he got to me.
"Hey shh I'm here your okay, what's wrong" G said holding me. I got myself back under control burying my face in his chest.
"Sorry I was day dreaming and it was freaking me out, it was just so real" I said looking at him. He set his gun down and pulled me into his lap holding me. I sighed knowing I was going to have to talk to someone but now wanting to go anywhere anytime soon.
