catchherbeforesheleaves: Kensi tells Deeks that Jack is the White Ghost.

He almost breaks his wrist reaching for the phone. "Kens? Is that you?"

Her heart rate skyrockets and she breathes out shakily. "Yeah, hey."

"Are you… alright? We were supposed to talk last night-"

"I need your help."

Deeks sits up tall and ruffles his hair with one hand. "Of-of course, anything. What's going on? Are you oka-"

"It's Jack, Deeks." Her voice shakes as she tries to keep it low. "He's the one I'm supposed to kill."

Deeks stands up from his couch, eyebrows thoroughly furrowed. "Jack, as in-"

"My ex-fiance. He's the white ghost."

"The what?"

She knows that she probably shouldn't be telling him all of this, but he's her partner and as a result, the only person she can trust. Kensi will be damned if she has to keep this kind of information to herself.

"That's what they call him around here. They say that he's a murderer, Deeks."

He can practically hear her falling apart. "How do you know it's him? Did they tell you?"

"No, no- I saw him. Granger was telling me to take the shot but I… I just couldn't."

Deeks doesn't know what to say. Hell, he doesn't even know what to think. But luckily for his sake, Kensi continues on.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do."

"Tell Granger, Kens. Just tell him, and they'll take you off the case."

"But then Jack will be dead! Nobody else would even hesitate to kill him!"

"Kens…" Deeks rubs his eyes and tries to think rationally. "If he really is as bad as they say he is, then-"

"He isn't a murderer."

"What else is he doing in Afghanistan, then? Clearly, he isn't working for us. That means he's working for them."

Tears pool in her eyes. "I know," she replies quietly. "I guess I was just hoping that there was another explanation for all of this."

There's a brief silence, then- "What are you going to do now?"

Her eyes harden and she clears her throat, sitting up straight. No more crying, no more tears, no more confusion.

Kensi has her answer.

"What I'm supposed to do," she says, walking towards her wardrobe to search for a heavy jacket. "I'm gonna kill him."
