Hey guys, so I suppose you'd like an explanation as to why I went AWOL. Does going on a youth retreat for the weekend count? Oh and Sunday I had a drama team audition which I did very well at. So that's why I was absent this weekend and no wifi where we stayed. And now I'm getting a cold. It sucks! But on the plus side, I do a really good dying Beowulf voice. My teacher and classmates died laughing at my theatrics :p however that only made me cough for the rest of class lol. But yeah, now you're filled in on the latest. I'll let you know if I make the drama team. Enjoy the story guys:)

Chapter 15: Silent Conversation

Deeks had volunteered to take the first shift watching the club and monitoring Kensi's hidden camera. This was by far the hardest assignment he'd ever been given. Being forced to watch the person he loved get used and abused was by far the worst form of torture he'd received.

"Deeks?" Kensi whispered knowing her camera picked up sound. "Call Eric and tell him to run a trace on this number." As she listed off the numbers he quickly texted them to Eric who had also taken the first shift. "I grabbed Shyheim's phone and he's called this number thirteen times in the past three days alone. I think this guy might be the buyer." She whispered. He wished he could respond to her but they couldn't risk giving her an ear piece. That'd be the first thing they'd find and Deeks wasn't willing to put her in more danger just so he could talk to her.

"All the girls are being kept in the basement. It's a room in the back right corner of the building. There's at least thirty here. I haven't got eyes on any canisters or barrels but when they brought me down here I passed a room that was being guarded by two men. I think that's where it might be being kept. Oh and Deeks, I know you're still here listening because if our roles were reversed I wouldn't want to be further than two minutes away from you either."

For the first time since this assignment had started Deeks truly smiled. "I love you Kensi." He whispered knowing she wouldn't be able to hear him.

"I love you Marty." She whispered and he could hear the affection in her voice that helped warm his heart. "As soon as I get eyes on it I'll tell you to move in. I can't try and sneak out of the room. We're being guarded by three burly guys just outside the door. And I'm sorry. Maybe for Christmas we can take leave and get away from all of this."

"That'd be nice." He murmured. Just hearing her voice was keeping him at ease.

"I was thinking...just you, me, a cabin out on an island, a beautiful beach, some nice surf for you, and a great big bed." Despite the situation Kensi found that the more she talked the more comfortable she felt. She could almost hear his response in her head and that alone made her smile.

"I'd never want to leave the bed." Deeks murmured with a smile.

Kensi smirked hearing a similar response in her head to the one he gave. "I'd get restless if we stayed in bed all day. Besides, we'd have to make good use of the beach and that surfboard of yours and lets not forget the shower." She said with a smile. As Kensi looked around the dim lit room she shared with everyone else, she noticed all of them were asleep, or at least pretended to be asleep. She doubted any of them spoke English.

"That vacation is definitely happening." He murmured. His phone vibrated and Deeks took a look at the text from Eric.

Number is registered to a burn phone. But I've made a list of locations the phone was used for the calls. Most came from a hotel in Malibu. The room rented is under the name Nikita Romanov, he's a former KGB. I texted Sam and Callen the address. They're on their way to bring him in to the boat shed for questioning.

Deeks sent a silent prayer skyward for them to get to the guy so they could use him to buy the biochemical weapon so they could get Kensi the hell out of dodge. The longer she was in there the shorter amount of time until he completely lost it and the more she was at risk of having her cover blown. He'd seen clearly what happened to one girl who had tried to escape, he could only imagine what they would do to a Fed and that's what truly worried him.

"You know I'm just as uncomfortable with this mission as you are." Kensi spoke after her brief silence.

"I highly doubt that." Deeks replied.

"I don't exactly like this aspect of the job when I have to trade my soul for the safety of others. Because that's what it feels like to me. Like I'm giving up a piece of my soul each time I have to go undercover and try to seduce some bad guy. I mean Wonder Woman wore more clothes than I am right now. I feel all violated, even with this coat you gave me." She mused speaking more to herself than to Deeks who she knew was listening.

"I hope you guys were able to get something from that number. I really want to get out of here and get all these other girls out of here. I mean, he's holding pre teen girls in here Marty. It's revolting." She normally wasn't one for continuous conversation and in the moment she felt more like Deeks who never shut up.

"You know what's funny?" Kensi asked

"What?" He asked the radio that her voice was being emitted through.

"A month ago I never would have thought we'd be together. I thought we'd keep on doing our dance and that I'd only ever have you in my dreams. Wipe that grin off your face." She said knowing that he was grinning at her confession of dreaming about him.

Deeks shook his head still grinning. "You know me so well Fern." He murmured.

"And don't call me Fern either." She scorned.

Deeks laughed and asked himself how she was able to do that without hearing him.

"But here we are and being with you has made me feel so incredible. Even with Jack I've never felt so.."

"Helpless, overwhelmed, insane, happy, head over heels in love?" He questioned listing them rapidly.

"...loved and appreciated. Don't get me wrong, I know Jack loved me but...not like the way you love me. It's in your eyes you know, and your actions. I'm so glad I have you Marty Deeks. You're the best thing in my life." She spoke softly gazing at the wall and picturing him right there in front of her as she spoke. She could practically feel his lips on hers, and in that moment she knew that he had her heart completely. That'd she'd never be able to love another like she loved him. Because he had always held her heart and now it just continued to blossom under his intensive care and nourishment.

"God I love you Marty Deeks." She whispered closing her eyes.

"I love you too Kensi, so much." He replied with a tear in his eye.
