"I'm so tired of being alone Deeks," she sighed

"You're not going to be alone forever," I replied trying to reassure her "you have me,"

"you and me... alone we're bold and together we're ... safe,"

"I'm tired of being alone but I wanna be bold... and I want to be bold with you,"

***

I couldn't believe it we were finally together. Not only did I tell Deeks how I felt but we almost went all the way.

***

Suddenly I heard a loud thump as if something had fallen on the floor "Deeks!" I called out nervously, without thinking to grab my gun I walked towards the front door, unarmed.

As I entered the lounge room I saw Deeks unconscious body on the floor, blood poured from the side of his face. I quickly went to his side I knelt beside him cupping his face, tears started to form in my eyes. Before I could react and call for backup I heard the familiar sound of a safety being taken off a gun "don't move," the familiar voice said.

Kensi's POV

I let out a shaky breath, recognising the raspy voice immediately "Anton," I breathed out, he let out a low chuckle as he slowly moved around to face me

"Yes Agent Blye, it is I! The genius that stumped the geniuses of NCIS!"

"How do you know who I am?"

"I recognised you straight away you dumb cow, you should have seen the look on your face when I walked into the room, I knew immediately what you were here for but I thought I'd let you sweat... sorry about your boyfriend, but I don't really care,'' he laughed bending down towards Deeks.

I stood frozen in place unsure what to do. I tried to think of a way to get both Deeks and myself out of this alive but I couldn't think of anything.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain across my cheek, I fell to the floor cupping my face where Anton had just slapped me.

"Does your wife know that's she's married to a monster?"

"I'm not a monster," Anton replied quietly. So quiet that it was haunting, so quiet that it was almost psychotic.

"You're a terrorist, orchestrating the deaths of thousands of innocent people and framing others for your crimes. For what? Are you trying to make yourself feel better? Do you think blaming other people is going to hide the true you? You're a monster, Anton!"

"I'm not a monster!" He said charging towards me, he grabbed my chin violently and forced me to stare into his dark, lifeless eyes as he placed the butt of his gun inside my mouth and put his finger on the trigger

"I'm not a monster," he repeated even quieter then before. He stared at me for a while and then finally removed his gun and let go of the tight grip that he had on my face.

"Our team is going to figure out that Henry and Jo aren't the Russian agents and when we don't report back to them, they're going too come rushing through those doors,"

Anton glared at me as he paced back and forward

"You're not going to live too see your wife again,"

He continued to glare at me and pace back and forward

"You're going too die,"

He rushed towards me and pistol wiped me across the face.

I soon felt my thick warm blood dripping from the gash that had just been created on my forehead, Anton left the room but I couldn't get up, my head was throbbing and it felt heavy.

I shuffled towards Deeks as he lay on the ground still unconscious "Deeks," I whispered worried as too why he hadn't regained consciousness

He couldn't be dead.

Could he?

All of a sudden Anton charged back into the room and grabbed my hair pulling me up. He placed his gun against my back and pushed me towards the bathroom.

He pushed me down to the ground. I ignored the sharp pain that shot up my legs as my knees connected with the cold tiled floor

"What does NCIS know?" Anton asked as he pushed my face towards the bathtub filled with water

"Nothing, they think Henry and Jo did it. They're probably interrogating them right now,"

"You're lieing," he replied, forcing my head beneath the cold water. I struggled in his tight grasp desperate for air.

My head shot up as I gasped for air, my chest hurt and my lungs stung

"What do they know about me?"

"All they know is that you now visit your sick father-in-law," I said. I wish the panic wasn't so evident in my voice

"I believe you Kensi," Anton replied, forcing my head under the water again but this time for much longer.

When my head shot up again my vision was blurry, dots appeared in my vision and I couldn't breathe. Anton left and I collapsed to the floor, too weak to keep myself up, my head knocked to the floor and knocked me unconscious.
