I'm back. Thank you for all your reviews! I hope you'll like the chapter. With high possibility will this story be a three-parter, I'm not sure yet.

"Let's go talk."

Callen followed Deeks outside because he noticed that Deeks doesn't want to stay in there any longer.

"What is there to talk about Callen?" Deeks asked annoyed.

"You know exactly why we're going to talk now, so cut that crap and tell me what happened in there!"

"Nothing happened in there and you know it. I was just a joke to everyone again, nothing more. I said something, they said something, like always. Listen, I want to get away from here, so either you tell me now what's on your mind or you can watch me go."

Callen looked Deeks in the eyes and considered how he can begin to get him to talk about happened a little while ago, but maybe he doesn't really need to think about that.

"Are you kidding me? You needed to think about your remark and that never happened before and you know I saw what happened on your face. Maybe you can fool Sam and your partner-" After he heard these words Deeks looked away from Callen "but I know my team. So, are you gonna tell me what caused your change or do I have to hurt you?" said Callen and waited. Deeks looked nervous and Callen knew he hit a nerve.

"I - You know -" He gave up, because he can't think of an easy answer to that and he realized that maybe he needs to talk to someone.

He waited too long, so Callen continued. "C'mon man, I know that the whole thing has got something to do with Kens. Do you want to tell me something?"

"No, Callen, there's nothing to know. I think Kensi made it perfectly clear what she thinks of me. If I'm reading her words right, she thinks I'm not good enough to have her back or let me say it better, I'm not good enough to do this job because I'm anything but "professional". I thought she knew that I would never ever let someone hurt her just because a few minutes ago I made some stupid joke about her ass or other body parts of her body."

Deeks was frustrated now and stroked his hands through his hair.

Callen laughed. "Is this about her comment from this morning? Deeks, how long are you working with us? You know from day one that we love to tease you. Kensi made a joke, nothing -" Deeks cut him off. "Kensi meant it, Callen. Did you hear what she said after my response? She said it wouldn't help me. So don't tell me she meant it as a nothing more than a joke. She told me right to my face that I suck at my job, my own partner, who should trust me and this morning she made clear that she does not trust me. And I was stupid enough to think that I fou-" Deeks stopped there.

He realized he was about to tell his team leader something important, something only Hetty and himself know about.

Can I trust Callen with that? He wouldn't tell anyone if I don't want to.

He was so lost in his thought that he hasn't heard what Callen said to him. "What?"

"What did you think Deeks? We're a team and you know I'm here, right? You can talk to me." Deeks smiled his first real smile in what seemed like an eternity.

"I know Callen. I... I thought I found something permanent here. The team is the only family I have here, except for Monty, that stupid, cute dog. I wanted to resign from the LAPD and become a NCIS Agent. That's why I talked with Hetty this morning. I realized I belong here and that I don't want to get called back to do some op for Bates. I thought maybe Kensi would like me as her partner as much as I like to be hers. I wanted to sign the papers today but I couldn't do it. Why should I sign them when Kensi doesn't want me as her partner and Sam doesn't like me very much but that's just him. I told Hetty what happened and until I am back the whole thing is on ice. Don't tell anyone, not Sam nor Kensi. No one! I trust you with this." Callen was surprised.

He needed to say something. And he also noticed that talked a lot in past tense. When he's back? Where is he going?

"When you are back? What do you mean by that?"

"I am going back to LAPD for a while."

"Deeks-"

"You know what, how could I be so stupid? After the last few months we grow closer, she even opened up a bit." He laughed as he remembered her surf lesson. "She even let me take her surfing. I thought maybe something changed, something big. My decision to resign from LAPD became bigger, because I like what we're are doing. I thought she would be happy to have me with her as her permanent partner for a long time. But no, these thoughts were only dreams." Deeks were angry by now, so Callen stopped him.

"Deeks, you know your part of our team and our family as much as Sam or Kensi. Don't d-"

"CALLEN!" Sam yelled and Callen turned around to see his partner 30 feet away from him. Not near enough to hear anything. "What?" he asked annoyed. "We need to go back in. I want to go home soon so finish your paperwork. Hey, Deeks, wait!" Callen wasn't finished with his speech yet but Deeks was too far away to catch up with him again. He only heard Deeks yelling his goodbye and then he was out of his sight.

He sighed and walked back into the mission. Sam waited in the hallway. "What was that? He can't just leave."

"He can and he's not coming back for a while. You two finally managed to hurt him enough to make him leave. Wait, Kensi said enough to make him leave, you just laughed."

"Where is he going? We always tease him and he's used to this. Don't tell me he's gone because of that. What's this all about?"

"He's going back to the LAPD and no, he's not gone because of the teasing. He leaved because Kensi basically told him he can't do his job right and you know as much as me that he's the best. But his Partner told him otherwise and that told him that she doesn't trust him. You noticed how quiet he was this morning? He was thinking and he was hurt because no one said Kensi that she's wrong."

"She was teasing him, like every day. You can't tell me he believes what she said. I mean its Deeks."

"Exactly, it's Deeks. He hides behind his jokes and loves to bicker with Kensi. But when he's talking about his job or his partner and her safety, he's serious. She insulted him and told he sucks at his job, which includes keeping her safe. She hurt him twice, with one sentence." Sam thought about what he said and agreed with him. In the meantime Callen decided if he should tell him what Deeks told him and after Sam's question he knew he would to it.

"But why is he leaving without a word or a talk with Kensi?"

"Don't tell Kensi what I tell you now. Before you interrupted us he told me he wanted to resign from LAPD and become a NCIS Agent. He said he found his family here and doesn't want to be called back for an op. Wanna guess the reason for his decision?"

"Kensi" Sam said with secure voice.

"Yes, Kensi. She opened up to him and they grew closer and then she says something like that and doesn't even try to do something about his mood. She noticed it too, talked to him, got rejected and didn't even try to talk to him again about what's bothering him. Like the last weeks didn't happen. He didn't sign them and he's gone because of Kensi."

"We have to talk to her G, he can't just go. You told him he's family, right?"

"What do you think, Sam? I wouldn't be a good team leader if I would forget to tell him. We don't talk to her right know Sam."

Kensi's POV

It's past 5 and I'm still sitting here. Usually I'm usually always finished with my paperwork. But today is different. Deeks was different and I have no idea what was bothering him today. I tried to talk to him but he's fine. I know I should have tried more. He was being Deeks after their talk but still different. And what was up with Deeks and Callen? Maybe he's just having a bad day. I'm his partner and I care about him... a lot, so I know where I'm going to be tonight: I'm gonna buy beer and try to light him up by watching Top Model with me. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

But right now, I'm hungry and I know my favourite partner always has some sweets for me hidden in his desk.

"I need a break. Anyone want food from Deeks desk?" I ask the guys. Sam looked a little panicked because he already notices something that shouldn't be there and knows as soon as she sees it; they have their talk with her. I get up and walk over to his desk. I was about to open his first drawer but something what shouldn't be there caught my eyes. His phone. Why is his phone, his mobile from NCIS on his desk and not on his body?

"Guys?" I ask uncertain. "Hmm." mutters Callen.

"Why is Deeks phone here?" Callen looks up. "Well, think about it Kensi. Why would his mobile phone be here, when he should have it on him?"

"Can you be more specific? He's NCIS, he can't leave it here it's against the rules. First he's not his babbling surfer self and now he's gone before our day ends and forgets his phone. You talked to him Callen, tell me what's up with him? Is my partner okay?"

"He's your partner; shouldn't you know that better than me?" Callen said with sarcasm in his voice.

"Hey G, didn't you forgot now in that sentence?" Sam asked, smirking at Callen.

"GUYS, what's happening here? What do you mean he forgot to say now? Tell me what's going on! NOW!" I almost yelled.

"You really wanna know why his phone is here and he's gone? Is that really what you want?"

"Gosh, of course I want to know."

"His phone is here because he's gone for a while." "I know that he went home, Callen. You didn't answer my question."

"No, Kensi I did. He is gone." I slowly began to understand what he means. "He's back at LAPD? Is that why he went to talk to Hetty?"

"Yes, he gone back and no, that wasn't why he talked to Hetty."

"Why didn't he talk to me about his new op? He's my partner and he needs me."

"Because there is no op yet. I don't think he knows that he's your partner, Kens."

"What are you talking about? We're partners. Hell, we even hang out almost every day. Why shouldn't he think otherwise?" Sam and Callen suddenly both laughed, Callen even more than Sam.

"Because you told him that he's anything but professional and you know how he is when you say something about his job. He thinks you don't trust him. That you think he's not good enough to do his job and that hurt him. A lot. He is gone because you basically told him that you don't want him as your partner."

Oh my god. No, no, no. I didn't mean that. I could never ever say anything like this. He's is by far my best partner I've ever had. How could he believe that? We hang out every day, watching movies and I even let him take me surfing. We even cuddle, a lot and fall asleep in each other's arms.

"I didn't mean that and you know that! He is the best partner I've ever had. Hell, he's my best friend. Where is he now? I need to fix this. What if something happens to him and I can't watch his back? I couldn't... I would never...-"

"We don't know where he might be but I'm sure you know where your partner is. And you're right, Ms Blye, you definitely need to fix it. Now, go!" Hetty said out of nowhere."

"Thanks for telling me, Guys." I said while packing my things.

Normal POV

The beach.

She knew he would be at their. He always goes surfing when something's bothering him.

She sees Monty lying in the sand on his blanket and goes to him. He's excited to see her and greets her with a lot of kisses on her face. She sits down and began drinking a beer she bought along while waiting for him.

She almost falls asleep because he's taking longer than normal. When he finally gets out of the water he stops as he sees her lying on his blanket. He tensed and his face is emotionless as he finally arrives at his spot.

"Hey partner" Kensi said.

Nothing.

Chapter 2 is done. What do you think? I'd love to read your reviews.
