Deeks gets a shot at Jack

THE FIGHT

Jack had the smirk of a trained marine on his face. He didn't realize Deeks had something more important on his side-Kensi's love and Sam's faith.

"Before we start, I got something to say to you" snarled Deeks. "How the hell could you leave her? All you had to do was STAY and fight for her. She would have moved the sun to help you. She is a woman that any man would die for. But you ran. You don't deserve her or a happy ending and I plan on seeing that you don't get either one, unless a jail cell is your idea of happy ever after."

"What makes you think you've earned the right to make that judgement you jerk" came out of Jacks mouth in a tone that made Kensi cringe as she had heard it before. He used it on her many times when they were together.

"Easy, I've been where you were too, but I never quit fighting till I got thru it. She was the light at the end of the tunnel so I had to get better for her. I never quit fighting for her and never will either. She the most amazing woman on this planet-most infuriating too-but that's what makes her who she is" Deeks answered with that goofy smile still plastered on his face.

Kensi had a huge grin on her face and a tear creeping down one cheek as Sam chuckled and said "That takes care of their issues. Well. Said. Shaggy!"

Just then Jack rushed straight at Deeks who side stepped at the last minute and threw a major upper cut to Jacks gut then immediately ducked as Jack straightened back up and threw a round house right. Deeks stepped inside it, taking the blow on his shoulder and hit Jack with 2 quick jabs and a straight right that rocked Jack back on his heels. Jack got the message, realizing Deeks wasn't going easy and he started to fight not brawl. Both men connected with the other on multiple occasions. Deeks knew he had to end it soon, the longer it went the more Jack had the advantage. Suddenly he slapped on that goofy grin of his and kept punching and ducking. Finally Jack screamed at him "I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face you little prick." Deeks just kept punching and ducking and smiling. Both men continued landing blows and combinations. Then Jack made the fatal error. He dropped his left in preparation for an upper cut or short jab. Deeks was quicker at that point and thru a big round house right that busted Jacks nose, spewing blood everywhere. As they continued to pound on each other Deeks still kept smiling.

Finally, between punches Deeks said "Nah Jack Kensi told me that a little prick was your problem. I'm just thinkin' about her nursing my wounds tonight." He heard a snort in his ear piece and then Jack was rushing at him again. Deeks strategy finally worked. He got in Jack's head and caused him to lose control and charge like a raging bull. Once more Deeks side stepped and landed a big looping right to the side of Jacks head. Jack hit the ground but managed to shoulder roll and come up with a knife in his hand. Both men look like they had been in a wreck by now. Blood was everywhere. As Jack made another lunge at Deeks with the knife raised high, a smile flew across Deeks face because he knew from hours of training with Kensi and Sam that wasn't the way to carry a knife in a fight. Deeks stood his ground until the last minute and then he threw his arms up and crossed them at the same time. He caught Jacks downward thrust in the V formed by his arms. He slid his left hand over and took hold of the wrist on the knife hand and twisted. Due to Jack's height and strength the force of the blow still made it to Deeks shoulder and the knife sliced from his shoulder to elbow. Not overly deep but enough to be a concern. Then Deeks took his right hand and threw it around the back of Jacks neck in a kind of reverse headlock. He locked his right leg behind and around Jack's right leg and threw himself backwards. This had the effect of Jack's head being driven into the concrete. Deeks hit the ground just before Jack. The result was that it knocked Jack out cold and most assuredly gave him a concussion. Deeks then rolled up on Jacks back and cuffed him. He finally looked up at Sam who had come charging in when Nichole screamed he said "caught you practicing that move late one night and liked it." Then he collapsed. Sam turned as Kensi came storming in followed by G and the other agents from San Diego and DEA.

Sam had a huge grin on his face as he said "get the medics in here now."

As Kensi came skidding to a stop she yelled "Deeks" and then seeing him on the ground ran to him and used Deeks jacket to put pressure on the wound. "Why did you let him do it guys?"

"Uh Kens" G pointed to Jack, who was out cold in cuffs and said "Shaggy is the winner-that's the loser."

"Oh" was all she said. Then she helped Deeks up after noticing both men's condition and they started to make their way towards the door in search of an ambulance, their arms around each other. Blood was everywhere on Deeks. He looked like hell. Split lip, bloody and probably broken nose and a for sure a couple of black eyes in the morning in addition to the knife wound. Probably some messed up ribs on top of everything else. "Glad I got to see the loser if this is what the winner looks like" she chuckled as she planted one on his cheek."

Over his shoulder Deeks tossed a quick comment complete with his signature grin "hey Sam, I aught a be up for that MMA rematch in a week or so. What say?"

G looked at Sam who was shaking his head. Then Sam scrunched up his face and said "uh G- - -are we missing something? How'd he do that?"

G simply shook his head and said "who knows."

As the junior partners moved away Sam and G heard "Guess that training we've been doing paid off." Thanks for the help princess." The 2 senior agents then just smiled knowingly.

"Please tell me they showed up and we got em" gasped Deeks, looking at Kensi who shook her head no. This caused the G and Sam to look at each other with puzzlement on their faces. Then the detective added "guess we gotta fess up and explain this whole thing then, huh?" After a nod in response they sat side by side on the back bumper of the ambulance. As Kensi sat Deeks down on the back bumper of the ambulance as the paramedic rounded the corner to start to examine him. At that moment a chopper descended closer to the action. No one paid attention as they were all used to news choppers hovering overhead. Neither did anyone notice a lone figure standing on a runner outside the plane, hooked to a tether to keep from falling.

Any idea why the chopper and who's picture was he asking about? Bet you thought this would end here huh !
