Sorry in advance for the short chapter!

Chapter 8

He pushed her against the wall. It happened sudden and she couldn't brace herself. She felt the pain radiate from her back. She struggled against his hold but he was strong and she wasn't exactly wearing fighting clothes. He stroked her cheek while his eyes wandered up and down her body. Right now she wished she was wearing more clothes.

'You look so beautiful,' he whispered in her ear and he kissed her in her neck. He bound her hands above her, onto a ring that was screwed into the wall. Then he planted his lips roughly on hers. She tried to get away from those hungry and rough lips but his hold onto her face was firm. She saw something flicker in his hand after he had pulled it out of his pocket. When he put the blade of the knife at the crook of her neck, Kensi closed her eyes. She felt her skin break as the blade traveled down. It was a superficial wound but she felt the blood flow. Where are Callen, Deeks and Sam? Why are they not here yet?

'You are such a pretty woman,' he whispered in her ear. 'But I think you're wearing a bit too much clothes.' His one hand grabbed her breast and the other her throat. Kensi felt the tears sting in her eyes but she wasn't going to cry. Not for this man. Just that moment Sam kicked in the door and he, Callen and Deeks charged inside.

'Get the hell away from her!' Deeks shouted furiously. 'Or I will blow your ugly head off!' His eyes wandered to the attacker's hand, still on her breast. 'You son of a …!' He adjusted his aim a little further down south.

'Deeks,' Callen warned him. The attacker grinned.

'You want her as well?' he taunted. 'I can understand that…such a pretty lady.' He put the knife at her throat. 'You can have her when I'm fi…' He screamed as he grabbed his shoulder and dropped to the ground. Shocked they all looked at Sam, whose gun was smoking. Then Deeks hurried to Kensi to cut her loose. He held her tight as she was shaking in his arms.

'Eric, how long till the ambulance gets here?' Callen asked over his earpiece.

'They're two minutes out,' Eric reported. 'Is she okay?'

'She will be.' Deeks put his jacket around Kensi's shoulders and guided her out of the room. Outside Kensi hit him against his chest, hard and several times.

'What took you so long?' she told him angrily and she started to cry. Deeks held her tightly in his arms.

'I'm sorry,' he whispered. 'I'm so sorry…I should have been faster…been there sooner…' Kensi looked up at him and kissed him, something they both needed. To have that kind of contact. Knowing she was okay.

'Deeks , I am fine,' Kensi told him again as they arrived at her place. 'I just want to get in my bed and sleep. I'm really fine.' Deeks opened the door for her.

'You say you're fine when you're not,' he replied her. Kensi stopped him and put her hand against his cheek.

'And sometimes I say I'm fine because I really am fine,' she said softly and she gave him a kiss.

'That was a long night out…' Narah said sleepily, suddenly standing in the living room as well. Kensi glanced at Deeks before turning around. She saw Narah's immediately go to the bandage at her neck.

'What happened?' the girl stumbled. Kensi stepped closer to her.

'Nothing serious,' she told her. 'I'm really fine.' The last comment was more directed at Deeks than Narah. 'Now tell me what you're doing up so late?'

'I heard the car coming,' Narah explained. 'It woke me up…'

'Okay,' Kensi said and she stroked Narah's arm. 'Then go back to bed.' Narah nodded and walked to her room. Kensi turned to Deeks. 'Go home, Deeks…' Deeks looked shocked at her, not believing what she just said. Kensi took his jacket of and handed it back.

'You really want me to go?' he asked and Kensi slowly nodded. 'After all that happened last night?'

'Yes, I want you to go,' Kensi told him and she looked away from him. She took a step backwards as he took one forward.

'Come on, Kens, don't push me away,' he said. 'Not after tonight…'

'Marty…please go…' she said and her voice was slightly trembling. Deeks sighed and nodded. She gave him a kiss on his cheek before he left. When the door slammed closed, Kensi walked to her bedroom, tears flowing freely.

Kensi had changed quickly into her pajamas, no longer wanting to wear the dress. After that she lay down in her bed but the sleep wasn't coming. She cried softly. Her bed felt so empty. Why did she tell him to go? Push him away?

When she heard her door crack, she quickly wiped away her tears and turned the light on. Narah was standing in the door opening. Kensi's hand slowly went to her gun.

'Everything okay?' she asked the girl, her hand so close to her gun that she could jump into action and protect Narah within seconds. She saw Narah search for words and then the girl shook her head, her lip trembling. Kensi took a deep breath and gestured to come closer. Narah closed the door behind her and almost ran to the bed.

'What is it?' Kensi asked her. For awhile Narah stared at her, tears rolling over her cheeks.

'What happened tonight?' she eventually asked. 'And why isn't Marty here?' Kensi wondered how she would explain the night to Narah. She decided to keep it simple.

'An operation went wrong.' Narah glanced at the bandage and Kensi nodded. 'Callen, Deeks and Sam came just in time…but I am okay.'

'Are you really?' Narah asked and Kensi didn't know what to answer to that.

'I will be,' she decided and she looked Narah in the eyes. 'I promise, okay?' Narah nodded.

'Are you mad at Marty for arriving almost too late? Is that why you kicked him out of the house?'

'No that has another reason…it all has to do with me. It's something that happens most of the times…but now tell me what's going on in your head.' Narah's lip began to tremble again and she started to cry. Kensi pulled the crying girl into a hug, as it seemed the right thing to do. She held Narah while gently stroking her hair.

'Hey, what is going on?' Kensi asked whispering.

'No one ever wanted to know…' Narah sobbed. 'To know what…what was going on in my mind…' Kensi rubbed Narah's arm.

'Get used to it, Narah,' she told her. 'But that can't be the reason for all these tears…are it your friends?' Narah first shook her head and then nodded.

'They are all dead,' she sobbed. 'They won't be at the youth center anymore…there is no more youth center…' Kensi held Narah as the girl cried for all she had lost. 'And…and soon…'

'What is going to happen soon?' Kensi asked, encouraging to continue, but Narah shook her head and just cried.

TBC.
