Hey! Look who's back! Yeah! so i hope you like it and thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. My schedule is slowly returning to normal.
Chapter 12: That Time
It'd been two weeks so far since Deeks had become an agent and how long Kensi and Deeks had secretly been dating. They knew Hetty suspected something was going on but so far they hadn't slipped up for the guys to suspect something as well. They did however find a way to bend some rules. There were always the fleeting glances, winks. The subtle brushes of skin, accidentally bumping into each other.
For a long time Kensi hadn't looked forward to getting off work because it meant she would just be lonely at home on her couch watching Top Model and drinking beer. But now, that had all changed. She loved leaving and meeting up with Deeks for dates and just being together. Sure there were some difficulties compartmentalizing feelings on the job, and sometimes they would have occasional spats like any couple did, but no one saw that as abnormal. Kensi and Deeks were always getting under the other's skin. No one however, ever saw when they made up and all was forgiven. Sometimes it was through a gift and other times it consisted of not leaving the bedroom for a few hours. Today was one of those days when they fought at work and made up later.
"I asked for a triple shot, extra whip, chocolate mocha frappuccino , not a cappuccino , Deeks!" Kensi said annoyed that her drink was hot and not cold.
"Come on! Can't you just say thank you? I tried doing something nice!" Deeks cried in frustration. He'd waited in line for twenty minutes just to get her the drink. And now all he'd received for his trouble was more grief.
"Then do it right." She cried.
"And there it is! I can't ever do anything right. Everything I do is wrong. I breathe wrong and I get yelled at. I holster my gun wrong and I get snapped at. I can't ever win with you Kensi!" Deeks said annoyed and angry and walked off brushing past Sam and Callen.
"Whoa, what's gotten into him?" Callen asked throwing his bag down and sitting beside Kensi. Kensi sighed. She hadn't meant to snap at Deeks. She really was grateful that he'd gotten it for her. It was just that she was having really bad cramps and nothing was helping. She'd been frustrated and in pain and Deeks was just the first one to talk to her so that little thing had set her off. She wanted to go and follow him and apologize but knew she'd want to kiss him and so she restrained herself and remained seated.
"I accidentally snapped at him after he did something nice for me. I didn't mean to either." Kensi explained feeling guilty and remorseful.
Sam and Callen knew what was going on. Kensi didn't often get that way and they'd become accustomed to storing some pills in their desks for her.
"Midol not working?" Sam inquired.
Kensi clenched her jaw as pain erupted in her midsection and nodded as she held her stomach. Sam opened up his bottom desk drawer and tossed a bottle to Kensi that rattled in flight.
"Naproxen?" Kensi questioned reading the label that had Sam's name on it.
"Yup. Great pain reliever. Doesn't make you drowsy, no side effects that affect your ability to work." Sam explained as Kensi looked it over.
"Thanks." She swallowed two with the assistance of her water bottle and tossed the pill bottle back to Sam.
Callen withdrew something from a drawer he normally kept locked and slid it to Kensi.
"Emergency chocolate?!" She asked excitedly.
"Saw it in the store during a stakeout and stocked up. Figured it'd be a good idea to have it on hand for a time like this." Callen said with a shrug suggesting it was no big deal.
"You guys are the best." Kensi said gratefully, tearing open the chocolate bar and devouring it. Half of it was gone when they heard a whistle and Kensi groaned, pocketing the rest of her wrapped up chocolate.
Kensi met Deeks' eyes as she strolled into Ops and noticed how his jaw became tight and looked away almost immediately. His stance became just a bit stiffer but it was so subtle only Kensi noticed because she was looking for it. A pang of remorse shot through her but she pushed it aside and tried to control her raging emotions.
"Fill us in Eric." Callen said crossing his arms waiting for Eric and Nell to send the images onto the screen.
"A stripper, Rachel Adams, seventeen, and Russian, was found dead this morning a mile outside of Foxxxy. The club where she used to work. She was foaming at the mouth and stumbling around. A local citizen called it in."
"That's a top notch private club. V.I.P's only. They're known for their discretion." Deeks input.
"So why are we being called in?" Sam questioned.
"Because, Mr. Hanna, the owner of the club is known to be an international Human Trafficker. Shyheim Schauzzer. He brings in girls of all ages from everywhere around the world and gives them a new name. He's also known to be affiliated with black market drug sales. The drug that killed the young girl was reported stolen from the military lab in Camp Pendleton two days ago." Hetty explained with a grave tone.
"What drug?" Kensi asked.
Nell and Eric looked at each before Nell answered softly, "An experimental form of hydrogen cyanide. They were trying to see if it could be stabilized into a large concentrated bomb. They have two kilos of it."
Everyone in the room blanched. "As you can see this case is top priority. We need to find out where it's being kept and get it back. I've already been on the phone with DOD and CDC they want this handled discreetly. Word of this getting out would create a panic in the city."
"Looks like it's time to check out the crime scene. Deeks and Kensi, find out everything you can on Rachel Adams or whatever her real name is. Sam and I will hit the crime scene." Callen instructed authoritatively. They all split up and partnered off.
As Deeks left, Kensi grabbed his arm and spun him around with a sadness in her eyes. She could see she'd hurt him.
"We have work to do Kensi. There's no time to fight." He bit shouldering off her hand and moving past her to his desk.
She followed after him waiting for a time to drag him away and apologize. To give him an explanation if only he'd let her.
Before he was able to sit down she rushed over to him and pulled him away from the bullpen and into a corner where there was a little bit of privacy.
"Deeks, I'm trying to apologize to you." She explained when he tried to speak. "So shut up and let me." She cried. "I didn't mean to snap at you. I really am grateful for what you did. I was just in alot of pain and I didn't want to yell but I couldn't stop myself from doing it. It's...that time...of the month." She explained a bit embarrassed.
"I'm sorry too. For over reacting." Deeks said calmly taking her hand and rubing it with his thumb.
"Forgive me?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes." He said with a soft smile. Kensi smiled and completely ignored the fact they were in Mission and kissed him soundly. Deeks accepted the kiss knowing that it spoke volumes that her words didn't. Especially the fact she was doing it at work.
"Kensi." He whispered. "We're still at work."
"I know." She whispered back with a smile before kissing him again.
Deeks smiled. "I take it we can tell everyone now?" He asked happily.
"You mean confirm Hetty's suspicions." Kensi corrected.
"Exactly." He said with a laugh. "But just for future reference. Just...warn me, you know, whenever...this...shows up again. And you need to tell me how I can avoid hormonal, angry, Kensi."
"Chocolate. Chocolate works very well. And pain killers because I get the worse cramps. Um, what else? Oh cheeseburgers! I consume so many cheeseburgers. They all just taste so delicious. And yeah. That's mainly it."
"So cheeseburgers, chocolate, and pain killers." Deeks repeated. "Got it."
"Thank you. And I'm sorry again. But just know whenever I snap at you this week, it's not because I want to." Kensi informed.
"Can we get back to work now or do you plan on kissing me more?" Deeks asked with a grin.
Kensi laughed and punched his shoulder.
They turned around and walked back over to the Bullpen to get to work on tracking down who Rachel Adams really was.
