Termites

This one shot is more centred on kensi and what happens when she finds out an incredible truth about our two favourite techies.

Kensi had termites her whole apartment was infested with them. They ate through her coffee table and her desk and even better it was going to take a week for the exterminator to sort it out. She had to find somewhere to stay.

Kensi's first thought was Deeks then she remembered his new girlfriend thought that his partner was a balding fat man. That only left one real option.

Nell

"Hey Nell can I talk to you for a sec" Kensi said pulling her to the side at the end of briefing.

"Sure Kens what d'ya need" Nell replied smiling up at the older woman.

"My apartment has been infested with termites do you think it is possible that I could stay at your place?"

"What about Deek's" Nell said deflecting the question perfectly.

"He has a new girlfriend, plus I have never been to your place. Color me intrigued" Kensi chuckled but noticed the smile had gone from Nell's face.

"Yeah sure Kens, you can adorn my couch" she plastered a smile back on but it seemed strained. "Must go ask Eric" she whispered.

"What was that Nell"

"Oh nothing, just something I need to ask Eric"

"Okay see you later" Kensi watched as Nell walked away she seemed awkward and on edge, what had she brought to the surface.

The day just kept getting weirder. Kensi passed the wonder twins later on in the day. They were in deep discussion and it wasn't about the case.

"Are you sure Nell, I mean it's risky think about what it could uncover"

"She has nowhere else to go dude don't be heartless" Nell punched Eric lightly on the arm.

"But what if she asks questions, she is just the first, in a long line of gossipers it will not be good for us if the rumour mill starts to turn"

"Eric calm down" Nell put her hand on his arm. "nothing is going to happen okay and if it does we have a load of excuses tucked away"

Kensi after listening for about a minute realised that they were talking about her staying at Nell's place. What was the big deal.

As Nell and Kensi left that night she noticed Nell kept stealing glances at her and had an expression of sheer concentration on her face.

"Hey, Nell?"

"Uhm" Nell was still lost in thought.

"NELL!" Kensi half shouted.

"Yeah, no need to shout" she shouted playfully back.

"We gonna car pool or take seperate cars"

"Separate cars" Nell stated as she stalked off towards her red mini.

Kensi followed Nell over half a dozen freeways till they reached Santa Monica. Nell must wake up super early to get to work on time. Kensi scanned the neighbourhood they had just entered. it was full of reasonable priced houses and you couldn't go three feet with out seeing a soccer mom or teenagers returning home after a party.

Kensi wondered what made Nell choose to live here. But as she pulled up behind Nell onto her drive she could see why. To the side on what looked like a medium sized house was an alleyway scattered with sand that led directly to the beach.

As she got out the car she noticed that another car was sitting in the garage but she brushed it off. Nell was a country girl, into cars. It made sense she had more than one. Right?
