Chapter 1

Kensi had been in Afghanistan for three months, three months and all she'd had from Deeks was a phone call over Christmas, she really missed him. They had just started out on their relationship, she was known as one date Blye for a reason, not one she had ever wanted to divulge, but she hadn't wanted Deeks to be a part of the one date rule.

She lay there on her bunk looking at the photo he'd sent her in his suit. She knew that he was different, he was her partner, he knew she could let him in. but she had he secrets and wasn't sure if she was ready to share her biggest with him.

Granger knocked on the door, "Blye, we have a lead on White Ghost." He called through the door.

"On my way; 20 minutes ok?" she asked.

"Sure I'll make you coffee, I'll be at the map table." Granger said walking away.

Kensi's view of Granger had changed a lot since they had come out here.

She looked over the map of the terrain, Granger pointing out the last location of White Ghost, "How fresh is this Intel?" she asked.

"Four hours, although I checked in with our man watching him, he's been bunking with the local Taliban Cell, he hasn't left yet." Granger told her.

She looked at the photo's "who's the smaller person with him?" she asked,

"We don't know, he's never seen unmasked, but he shoots as well as the White Ghost does, I know people call him Ghost and the shorter guy goes by Casper."

Kensi smiled, "The friendly Ghost huh?" she chuckled.

"Not so friendly." Granger pulled CIA footage of Casper shooting at a bomb that took out a Military transport.

Kensi looked impressed "That's a hard target even for a sniper, a bomb that small at 500 yards."

"Yeah, White Ghost is the priority but Casper is the danger."

"I'll keep an eye out for him." Kensi said turning to her gun, she checked the sights before she packed it away in her case.

"I'm your spotter Blye." Granger said putting his bag down next to her.

She looked up at him, "Ok you ready?" she asked.

He nodded and they went outside and climbed into the humvee that was waiting for them.

Setting up on the ridge above the caves that she'd been told was the latest place that White Ghost was hiding she checked her sights.

She looked through her scope as Granger checked out the distance with his binoculars, "Who's that?" Kensi asked as a young girl of about 7 came out; she walked over to the well and filled a bucket with water.

"Dunno, maybe a native?" Granger shrugged.

Kensi looked at the child a familiar pang tugged at her heart and she fought it down, here and now was not the place to think about that.
