Hello all. So I wrote the next chapter for you during the class period that I'm a student aide. I love how my teacher lets my have my iPod out then tells another student to put their phone away :p so I hope you like this. So I was happy to hear all the feedback again. It all returned yesterday and today. Yeah, so enjoy.
Chapter 14: Business Deal
There was a clearing of throats behind them that made Kensi and Deeks separate alarmed by the sudden intrusion.
"So this is why you're suddenly defensive?" Callen asked, a tone of disapprovment. .
"I told you that you had a thing for those locks and eyes." Sam teased.
"Way to ruin the moment guys." Deeks complained not willing to let go of Kensi even though they'd been caught.
"When did you plan on telling us that you two were a...thing?" Callen asked trying to find the right words.
"Soon." Kensi answered vaguely.
"How long has this been going on?" Sam inquired trying to get caught up with what was going on.
"Two weeks, give or take a few days." Deeks answered calmly. He wasn't about to let Sam and Callen intimidate him.
"Kensi, a word." Callen said motioning to the gym. "You stay here. We'll be back in to talk to you shortly." He instructed Deeks as Sam followed behind.
Deeks sighed and let go of Kensi. She followed Sam and Callen outside of the door. Deeks decided to return to his shooting and reloaded the magazine.
"Guys, you don't need to do this, really. We're fine." Kensi said.
"That didn't look fine when Deeks suddenly left Ops." Sam commented.
"This is why inter office relationships don't work Kensi. You get too involved and then you get hurt. You're mind becomes clouded with emotion that you slip up on the job." Callen said expressing his reserves.
"Callen, we'll be fine. It's serious, we're not going to have a falling out."
"Everyone thinks that Kensi and more times than not, it doesn't last." Sam cautioned.
"He just said he loves me!" She cried trying to make them see they weren't just another office fling. "And I love him too. We're not like everyone else who has an office romance. Look at Sam. He's happily married and he has kids with Michelle. He had an inter office relationship and they're better for it. That's Deeks and I. We're better now than we were before. You guys didn't even suspect a thing was off for the past two weeks. We know what we're doing. We know we can't let it affect how we work. Thank you for your concern and you're big brother routine, but Marty and I are fine." Kensi explained pleading with the guys to not separate them.
Sam sighed and gave Callen an all too familiar look. "Let it go G."
"Do you promise not to let your relationship interfere with what we do here?" Callen asked before letting the subject drop.
"I promise guys. I love him, he loves me. It's a long love story." She said unknowingly with a smile.
They nodded. "Hetty's waiting for you upstairs by wardrobe." Callen informed.
Kensi nodded and sullenly stole a glance at Deeks one last time before going upstairs. Sam and Callen waited for Deeks to stop firing and re-entered.
"Alright, lets just skip all the BS and get down to it. You're worried I'm going to hurt Kensi and break her heart. Well I'm not, so there. You don't have to try and intimidate me." Deeks said jumping the gun.
Sam and Callen just remained quiet and continued to stare him down.
"Yeah I get it, you don't approve. I don't care. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not going to let her go just because you guys are concerned. I love Kensi and that's all that matters. Nothing you do or say can change how I feel about her." Deeks spoke confidently and defiantly.
Again Callen and Sam remained quiet and stared and Deeks filled the silence once more. "I promise I'll take care of her. I know you guys treat her like a sister and you'll flay me alive or do whatever if I hurt her. You don't have to worry. I'll sooner die than hurt her, I promise."
"We'll hold you to that." Callen said then walked away.
"Hetty needs you up at wardrobe to get ready." Sam informed before leaving with Callen.
Bile rose in Deeks' throat but he swallowed it and took a deep breath before putting the glasses and muffs away and heading back up to the bullpen.

Callen and Sam were already in the club by the time Deeks and Kensi arrived.
"We're coming in." Deeks alerted as he walked up to the bouncer.
"V.I.P's only buddy."
"I have some business to discuss with your boss." Deeks said calmly and smoothly as he adjusted the gold band Jaeger watch.
"Come back tomorrow. He's busy."
"He'll want to hear what I have to say right now. Tell him I come bearing a gift." Deeks said charmingly, motioning to Kensi who was acting scared behind him.
The bouncer looked behind Deeks and grinned. "Boss, we got a gift for you." He said pressing on the ear wig. "Go on in." The bouncer moved out of the way and Deeks gave him a smile before walking in and grabbing Kensi.
He felt sick to his stomach. He hated his job at the moment. Not even the Armani suit, Gucci shoes, limousine, and platinum card could offer any form of consolation. He couldn't bear to look at Kensi. She wore a large trench coat but underneath was a size too small bikini top and ridiculously short leather skirt with heels that by themselves looked nice but on Kensi looked sexy, with glitter covering her body.
He recognized Shyheim instantly. He was dressed in rich, fancy, clothes with a joint in hand, and a woman on either arm. His crooked smile nearly made Deeks throw up.
"I hear you have a gift for me." He said walking up to Deeks.
"I do. The name's Spike Driggers."
"Shyheim Shauzzer, but I take it you already knew that. Why don't we take this over to my private wing. It'd be rude to discuss business in front of all these guests." He said with that same crooked smile.
Deeks gave a fake charming smile and followed Shyheim pulling Kensi along.
"They're going off with Shyheim G, keep an eye out." Sam informed moving to the bar to get a drink.
"Got it." Callen responded getting eyes on Deeks and Kensi.
Everyone Deeks passed by certainly looked the part of high rollers and corrupted people who came to have fun without big brother watching. He suddenly became sick of humanity and wished to be free of the party scene.
They reached the private room and as they did so Deeks gave Kensi's hand a small squeeze and stole a glance. He had sad, soulful eyes and Kensi just about broke cover to comfort him but simply ignored his look and squeezed his hand. The door closed behind them and Deeks put on his best business façade.
"So, what's your proposition?" Shyheim inquired sitting down on his plushy velvet, purple couch. Shyheim definetely had a flamboyant taste in dećor as well as clothes. Deeks had never seen anyone wear such a light blue suit. It was borderline ridiculous.
Deeks took a seat and commanded Kensi to sit down as well. "Well, I hear we share the same business interests."
"And what would that be?" Shyheim asked taking a puff from his joint.
"The human side of business." Deeks said with a sly smile. "So I thought, we could combine our businesses and expand."
Shyheim laughed. "And why would I do that when I've only met you today?"
"Because I have the kinds of connections that could bring you from well known to renowned and feared." Deeks said with a grin.
"Continue Mr. Spike." Shyheim motioned with a wave of his hand.
"And to show you how much I'd like to be in business with you, I brought you a gift." Deeks waved to Kensi who sat looking scared.
"Say I agree, and I take your gracious gift. What would you gain from all this?"
"A place to stash my property. My old business partner, well he decided to roll on me and he ended up in more than one barrel. He compromised my safe house and now I need a place to keep everyone. That's where you come in." Deeks said sounding like a pro in doing dirty business deals.
Shyheim grinned.
"So do we have a deal?" Deeks asked.
"We have a deal. Now, why don't you show me just what type of gift I'm receiving." Shyheim instructed with that crooked smile.
Deeks spoke in Spanish to Kensi who then got up and walked over to Deeks.
He whispered in her ear when she came close to him. "I'm so sorry. I love you." He kissed her cheek then yelled at her in Spanish. He watched as her entire demeanor changed and she went into her undercover role. He forced himself to watch as she started dancing on Shyheim.
As soon as Shyheim put his hands on Kensi he had to restrain himself from pulling out his gun and shooting the guy dead. They needed to find the gas and that wouldn't happen if Shyheim suddenly died. Swallowing his revulsion at the scene in front of him, he instead sat still biting his tongue until he bit too hard and the taste of blood filled his mouth.
He spoke again in Spanish as he'd had enough and Kensi moved away from Shyheim. "I'll be in touch."
He spoke.
Shyheim got up and protested instantly, "No, no, please, stay. Let us celebrate our new partnership. I'll show you some of the people downstairs."
Deeks hated himself. "I guess a few drinks wouldn't hurt. It is cause to celebrate."
"Exactly. Let's go!" Shyheim took Kensi's arm and pulled her along with him. Deeks followed behind plotting all the different ways he would kill Shyheim as his hand slipped down to Kensi's ass.

So does anyone else not like this guy? Cuz I'm with Deeks. I want to kill him. Ugh. Creeper. So review, sharer your thoughts. And for those of you to which this applies, Happy Halloween.
