Hi! So… I think the first thing I'm supposed to say is that I don't own NCIS: Los Angeles or any of the characters (what I would do to own Marty Deeks though lol)
Also, I'm pretty new to NCIS: LA, so sorry if some of the characters seem OOC. I always saw previews during Criminal Minds and decided to finally try it out. I love it so far!
This is also my first fanfiction and I don't really write that often, so be nice please
This is kind of an alternate ending to season 4 episode 10, Free Ride. I wrote it alone so all mistakes are my bad. Enjoy!
********************line break thing, hope I did it right***************
Kensi followed Sam through the many halls of the giant ship they were on for their latest case. She tried to stay calm and keep it together. Kensi Blye did NOT lose her cool. Period. But it was becoming more difficult with each step to pretend that she was fine with the fact that nobody could find her partner.
'Where are you Deeks?' she thought.
It always surprised her how much she had come to care for him. Those first few months she was sure she would end up killing him if Sam or Callen didn't beat her to it. He had driven her nuts. Now, although she would never admit it, he was one of the most important people in her life. She couldn't imagine not seeing his shaggy blonde head of hair and bright blue eyes every morning, or participating in the witty banter she secretly loved even though she pretended not to. Which was why she had to, and would, find him. Because the alternative was just not something she even wanted to think about. It was unacceptable.
"Kensi?" she heard, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?" she responded, looking up at Sam's worried face.
"We're gonna find him Kens," Sam said.
"I know," Kensi replied.
After what felt like hours but was actually probably only a few minutes, they reached the part of the ship they were looking for.
"Callen?" Kensi called as soon as they walked in, not willing to waste a second when her partner could be in peril, "Did you find him?"
"No," Callen replied, looking worried, but not nearly as worried as Kensi felt. "But it looks like we're in the right spot."
Kensi suddenly heard voices and footsteps from behind them.
'Please be him, please please,' Kensi inwardly begged. She would kick his a** across the ocean and all the way back to OPS if he decided to just go for a walk and send everyone on a panicked wild goose chase looking for him.
"Deeks!" She called and walked towards the voices. She could barely hide her disappointment when she saw the two men walking towards them. Neither of those men were Deeks. No blonde hair, no plaid shirt, no crooked smile, quick chuckle, or witty retort. Not her partner.
"Hey," Sam called out, "You boys see the guy you were beating up on yesterday?"
'Beating up on yesterday…?' Kensi thought. Had these men hurt Deeks? Anger flashed through her fast as she looked up at these guys, ready to beat them so bad they'd regret the day they so much as laid eyes on her partner. If they knew where he was now, if they had done something to him, they would answer to Kensi Marie Blye. And she was taking no prisoners.
"The guy who kicked your a**, Sir?" one of them asked.
"He what?" Sam replied, clearly confused.
Kensi did not have time for this. All she wanted was to find Deeks.
"Did you see where he went?" she asked impatiently.
"He was snooping around here a few minutes ago," the other replied.
'A few minutes ago!' Kensi thought, as she felt some, but not much of the dread, leave her. 'Wherever he is, he can't be far!'
"Excuse me," Kensi heard Callen call. She turned around in a flash and saw the man wheeling the garbage can away. He didn't turn around. Didn't stop. Alarm bells instantly started ringing in Kensi's head. She took a step forward. "Yo! With the trash!" Callen tried again.
This time the man started to run, taking the trash bin, and probably Deeks with him.
"STOP!" Sam screamed. Kensi didn't waste time with words. She just started running as fast as she could, adrenaline pumping through her veins. This was a ship. And if that man got Deeks to the edge of the ship…
Kensi doubled her efforts as she chased the guy. She could hear him up ahead, and the footsteps of Sam, Callen, and the rest of the Petty Officers behind her.
She finally reached the deck of the ship, and she swore her heart stopped at the scene in front of her.
He's standing by the edge, having opened one of the small doorways built into the railing of the ship (Do those exist? Lets pretend they do.) Under normal circumstances, Kensi could not have cared less what this man decided to do. If he wanted to climb the railing and jump ship like Kate Winslet in Titanic, she was not going to go Leonardo DiCaprio on him and charm his a** back over the railing. But these were not normal circumstances. Not in the slightest. Because he was holding the garbage pail she was now certain housed her partner. And if the fact that this jerk shoved Deeks into a garbage can like he meant nothing didn't piss her off enough, the terrifying truth that if he fell, Deeks fell, pissed her off even more.
So she put her hands up, channeled her inner DiCaprio, and tried to talk this guy off the ledge. Hey, she'd seen that movie a million times, if she couldn't do it no one could right?
She took a hesitant step forward. She could practically feel Sam's and Callen's guns behind her, pointed at the killer on the railing. She knew they wouldn't shoot. They couldn't.
"Hey," she said, continuing forward. "My name is Kensi. What's your name?"
"I'm not going to fall for your tricks, " he replied, "I'm not an idiot."
"Okay. Then why don't you do the smart thing and back away from that ledge so we can talk about this somewhere a little more… Comfortable." Kensi said. Negotiation was not her thing. But Sam was too angry, and Callen… Was too Callen.
"I like where I am just fine thanks. As long as I've got this guy in here, something tells me none of you are going to be dumb enough to shoot me," he replied.
Kensi was pissed off. She was very pissed off. 'Keep it cool,' she coached herself.
"What do you want?", she asked.
"What I wanted, was for my plan to go uninterrupted. But then the drugs leaked into the food. I didn't know that the workers were going to get pointed and start snapping left and right, and then this guy…" he shook the garbage can, Kensi took an automatic step forward. She could hear Sam practically growl in the background. "had to go snooping around. The plan was perfect, and he ruined it!"
His voice went up an octave at the end.
'Dammit,' Kensi thought, 'he's getting angry.' She needed to keep him calm and keep him talking.
He took a sudden step backwards.
"No!" Kensi shouted.
Sam stepped forward. "It's over man," he said. "You've got nowhere to go. Just let him go and we can talk about this. There's still a way out for you. We can make a deal. Just let him go."
A look of dead calm suddenly came over the man. Kensi wasn't sure if this was good or bad. God she wished Nate were here, he always knew what people were thinking.
"You're right," he said suddenly. "But if I'm going down. I have to take someone with me, don't I?"
Kensi leapt forward. Sam and Callen did too, but it was too late. The man jumped of the ship, and he took Deeks with him.
To be continued?
Wow. That was longer than I thought it would be!
So…. I hope you liked it! Review if you want me to continue because this was really supposed to be a one-shot… I mean I'll write more if you guys want but I don't want to embarrass myself and write for no one lol! Thanks for reading
