I'm really sorry I couldn't get this to you yesterday. I tried really hard to after I finished watching LA. Whih btw, had a couple good Densi moments. Like when he said where Kensi goes I go, or when granger told them they deserve each other and Deeks looked sideways to Kensi with a smile, and when he called her Fern :) when the promo came though, my sister and I squealEd and since she had the remote last night, se kept pressing rewind and watching the very last part :p she did that six times. Lol. Oh and I found my Robert Downey Jr. hoodie. :') I've missed that thing so much. Lol. Yeah. So you guys are gonna hate me for this chapter just see for yourself.
Chapter 23: The Storm
Hetty received the call at 6:03pm from the hospital alerting her of Deeks' condition. She could only assume that Kensi had been in the car too.
It'd taken a record of fifteen minutes to get from Mission to the hospital. Callen and Sam weren't far behind either. Hetty stood outside the surgery wing waiting to hear an update on Deeks and Kensi. The nurse at the desk was unable to give information, mainly because she had none to give.
All they were able to do was sit and wait with Kensi's mom who was also already there waiting. No one uttered a word. The air was thick and palpable, but no one did anything to ease the tension. That had been Deeks' silently and unanimously agreed upon job, only he was the reason why they were there in the first place.
It was an hour later when a doctor came out and said, "Ms. Feldman?" Julia shot up from her seat followed by the rest of the group.
"Yes. Is my daughter okay?" She asked, worry and fear evident in her voice. The doctor gave a small smile.
"Hi. I'm Doctor Downey." She introduced politely before getting right into detail. "There were shards of glass that impaled her and caused minor hemorrhaging. One shard cut her stomach lining and we managed to stitch that up quite nicely along with her hands. We were also able to remove all the fragments and shards of glass. The only injury that I'm very concerned about still is her brain. It's bruised and she has a very serious concussion. The two of those combined leads me to fear the worst. She may wake up and have amnesia for a chunk of her life. How big that chunk would be I couldn't tell you. She has TBI or traumatic brain injury. Depending on how bad or prominent it is, her behavior may change. It's seen quite often. I'd recommend doing research on it so you're well informed. She'll have TBI for the rest of her life, unfortunately it's nothing you can counter act. You can only ID the symptoms and change in her behavior and adjust to them. She's being moved to her own room now." Doctor Downey informed.
"Thank you." Julia said, unsure as to what her emotion should be. She felt rather dead inside. Her daughter was alive, but at the same time the daughter she'd come to know again might be gone.
"What about the man that was in the car with her? Marty Deeks." Hetty asked praying for good news.
The doctor's expression turned very grave.
"We don't think he's going to make it."

In my defense I had a reader ask me to hurt Kensi more than Deeks which is how I got the TBI thing. My dad has TBI, former marine and one too many near death experiences and motorcycle accidents, along with being blown up by an RPG in 03' so I know a little about living with TBI and PTSD in my family. So I told you that you guys would hate me. Review please.
