Sorry for the delay but I was struggling slightly in how to wrap up the Danny thing in a little bow…here it is

"Where the hell is my mum?" Kensi yelled, they had decided that it would be a good idea to put Kensi in the same room as Danny, to get him to talk. "What the hell did you do? What do you want with me?" So far he hadn't uttered a word and it was driving the team up the wall, making them more anxious for answers, time was ticking for Julia and every second Kensi spent in that room with Danny the longer her mum was on her own. "ANSWER ME!?"

The door opened as Kensi and Danny sat there in a staring contest as if to see who would break first. The young agent was fuming, no matter how long it took she could always make them talk… eventually, but she had been at this for hours and he hadn't said anything and more than anything, Kensi wanted this nightmare to be over, snuggled up next to Deeks on their own couch. "Kens, let's take a break" Callen said into the silence, "Kens, are you listening to me, take a break."

"Fine" was her reply as she turned and walked out the door not looking at Danny to see the smug look of satisfaction that she would be sure was present on Danny's and proceeded to make her way over to Deeks, wrapping an arm around his shoulders as he was sitting in the chair facing the screen.

"It's okay, we'll get her back" Was all the detective had time to say before Callen re-joined the three.

"If we can't get him to talk, we'll have to do things the hard way." Callen said walking towards the table and turning to look at Sam, "It's your turn big guy!"

"Hell yeah."

"Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhh, please I'm begging you stop, I'll tell you want you want, I promise just please stop…I'm begging you, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!" Danny screamed, Sam had been in the room with him for a little over twenty minutes and had managed to get him to crack.

"Well okay since you asked so nicely, where is Julia Feldman?"

"In a warehouse… San Pedro, 3 blocks… 3 blocks from where you got me"

"Guys you hear that?" Sam inquired quickly packing up his…tools and heading out of the interrogation room without a second glance.

"Got it, hurry up, let's go NOW!" Kensi yelled making her way quickly towards the door.

"You heard the lady, move it people" Deeks urged following her to the door and yelling back to Sam and Callen who seemed like they were taking forever to get their shit together.

"Alright, comms up from here" Callen whispered as they were checking out the warehouse. "Kens, you stay behind Deeks, you understand?"

"I understand now let's go. Deeks and I will go round the back, and meet you in the middle" The young agent said, calling the shots.

"Move in on my count" Callen called over the comms as the agents and detective moved into position. "5…4…3…2…1…go go go"

The sound of gunfire quickly filled the ears of the team as they took fire from all sides. A lucky shot from Kensi and Deeks sent two of the assailants crashing to the ground bullets in their heads.

"That, right there is why we work Kens." Deeks remarked, humour filling his voice.

"You know it!" The pregnant agent stated jumping in on their banter. Trying to see a bright side their…issue.

"If you two are quite finished, the front is clear, coming round to you" Sam's voice interrupted filling their ears.

"There seems to be three more on us, we took down two but they have us pinned down pretty nicely." Deeks said filling them in on their…predicament. "Do us a favour would you boys? Kill them?"

"Since you asked so kindly, I think we can manage that"

Before either Kensi or Deeks could reply, Callen and Sam popped around the corner and efficiently took out the other three men, clearing the warehouse of all dangers. It was an open warehouse with one wall in between the front and back, there were various tables set up with maps and supplies piled on top. The only other door in the warehouse was tucked away in the corner and seemed to lead to a small supply closet.

"Mum" Kensi breathed running off in the direction of a small looking supply closet. She ripped the door open and flicked on the light, taking in the scene around her. "Mum, hey mum, I'm here" She dropped onto her knees in front of Julia and gathered her in her arms and quietly started to cry. She felt her mum start to come around as Deeks came up behind her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as a sign of solidarity mixed with love.

"The ambulance is 2 minutes out- Julia, hey, how you doing?"

"MUM! No, lie still, what did they do to you?" Kensi questioned her voice breaking at the end of her question. She gazed at her concern clouding her features, she didn't appear to have any injuries but there was no telling.

"I h-h-ha" Julia attempted but the words just didn't seem to form in her mouth.

"It's okay mum, take your time, the ambulance is here… I'm going with you and we are going to the hospital okay?" Kensi asked almost as if seeking permission that it was ok for her to go with her. Julia's relieved eyes told Kensi all she needed to know as she stood and moved back slightly allowing the paramedics to do their job, moving her onto the gurney and into the back of the ambulance.

"How's she doing Kens?" Deeks asked as he poked his head around the door to Julia's hospital room. Julia had fallen asleep not long after they had said that she hadn't had any serious injuries.

"She's doing ok, just a little bit tired and shaken. Apparently Danny didn't even lay a hand on her, she was drugged and locked up but not beaten" Kens said eyeing Deeks seeing relief flooding his features, Deeks loved her like a mother and if she had been seriously hurt he would have crumbled. He walked over to Kensi and pulled her into a hug feeling the relief also coursing through her body, they shared to pains and relief of the last few days together.

"It's getting late, I think we should head home. You and the baby need rest, it has been a long few days." Deeks remarked warmly, pulling Kensi up and leading her towards the door without waiting for her respond.

"But I want to be here when she wakes up" Kensi replied stubbornly attempting to turn back to her mother.

"We can come back first thing in the morning… I promise"

"Fine" She gave in then proceeded to duck back under his arm and give her mum a kiss on the cheek and bade her goodnight. Thanking her lucky stars for the hundredth time since finding her mother that this nightmare was finally over.

Waiting for her to come back over to him, Deeks though about the last few days, how he had been so scared that something would happen to Kensi or their baby. It just made her want to be even closer to her all of the time. Then there was the big M word. Marriage. He wanted to marry her and they had talked about it but not extensively. Maybe now that this was all over it was time to pop the question.

"Let's go Deeks, can we sleep at the safe house again, I don't think I am quite ready to go home right now." Kensi asked, interrupting his train of thought and walking back to his side "Oh and can we stop and get dinner. The baby is hungry."

Knowing that this was a somewhat safer topic for them he didn't pass up the opportunity to tease her. "Do you mean you or the baby" And like a charm it worked, Kensi whirled around and planted a solid punch on his shoulder, barely containing her laughter. She pulled them from the room and started walking down the hallway to the exit.

Wanting to put Danny behind them Kensi sobered up the moment. "Deeks… I know that you want to know why Danny did all the things he did but… but can we just lock him up and throw away the key. I don't want to know why he did all of the things he did. I just want to forget and move on to our future. Charge him with whatever and leave him behind us… please?" Kensi rambled on, she wanted Deeks to understand why. Why she didn't want to know everything.

It felt like he was taking ages to reply, she was standing in front of him looking up at him in the middle of the hallway in the hospital. Begging him with her eyes to leave it alone. Worried that he was coming up with a way to convince her not to interrogate him, she opened her mouth prepared to give another great speech but stopped when Deeks covered her mouth with his hand.

"Anything for you Princess… Anything"

So here it is. Now I can finally get back to the mushy stuff… YAY. The Danny story did carry on longer then I intended but it is pretty much over and if anything it will only be Danny bashing in the future. So…please review.
