Chapter 2

Kensi awoke to a loud crash coming from downstairs, feeling the empty side of the bed she reached for her service weapon before heading downstairs to investigate the sound. "Greg" she called to maintain their current cover as she searched the bottom floor of the cover house, once she reached the kitchen the sight made her pause.

"Come in Kens" Callen spoke, lifting his head from the toaster he was currently pulling apart, startling her out of her current thoughts. After a few minutes she moved forward him to sit beside him. "Are you okay" she asked with concern, once he was finished pulling the toaster apart. "Can't sleep" he replied, looking up from his work. "Is it about tomorrow's meeting" she asked carefully.

After two months of undercover work the pair, finally seem to have their first solid lead. A meeting with a local neighborhood protest group, who are strongly against the United States involvement in the current war raging on in the Middle East. After the couple "ran" into the pair who run this local protest group the ended up with an invite to their next rally group after a discussing the war overseas.

"No, just a memory" he replied after a minute of thought.

"Do you want to talk about it" she asked, hoping he would open up to her.

He looked at her, debating with himself about letting her in. They had only known each other for two months, but something about her made him want to open up to her. To trust her the only way he had ever trusted a small handful of people, completely. "Please talk to me G, let me help you" she asked, showing her concern. Looking into her eyes full of concern and compassion, he decided he could tell her, to share one of the happiest and darkest time of his adult life.

After taking a couple deep breaths he opened his mouth.


Callen was re-checking his gun to make sure it was loaded properly. Once he was finished he looked up towards his partner, admiring the way Agent Walker looked wearing her raid gear. After turning, seeing his look, she bend down whispering "later" into his ear, sending shivers down his spine. Reminding him to focus on the mission instead of her.

Once their pr-mission checks were complete and they'ed given the signal to their backup placed block down from the targets house, the couple looked at each other before Alex reached up to move her ring from her finger to her necklace. After whispering their love the agents made their way towards the targets house.

After nodding to each other, Callen headed inside. Alex following behind him as the searched to bottom floor of their suspects house, once clearing the floor they headed upstairs into a long corridor lined with multiple doors. Slowly the couple made their way down the corridor clearing room by room until they reached the last door, armed with military grade explosives. As the opened the door Callen wrapped his arms around Alex pushing her into the ground, shielding her with his body, after hearing the clicking mechanism.

Once backup and EMT's arrived, they locked down the building and started working on the unresponsive agents. After twenty minutes of CPR the EMT's were able to gain a weak pulse from both agents and was rushed to the local hospital. After a two hour long surgery Callen was wheeled out of trauma after coding twice on the table, while Alex coded once but was unable to be revived becoming listed as killed in action.


"I woke up three weeks later, in hospital to be told my fiancee was dead". Callen told, tears running down his checks. "I'm sorry G" Kensi replied in her soft and caring voice, wrapping her arms around him as he cried for the second time. After a few minutes she pulled him to his feet and guided him up towards their bedroom. Once in bed she wrapped her arms around him, snuggling into his chest whispering a thank you she gave him a kiss on the cheek before the pair fell into a restful sleep wrapped up in each others arms. Leaving Callen glad he decided to let Kensi in.
