Broken Chapter 11

Hey Guys, thanks for the follows and the reviews. I always love reading them and getting your feedback! Keep them coming and I hope you all enjoy the next chapter

Nell jumped in the car with Deeks as Sam headed off with Callen riding shotgun. They headed off to Nell's favorite café.

"Are you going to ring Kensi?" Asked Nell

"Uh, no… yes… maybe. I don't know I mean she was looking forward to 3 Deeks Free Days remember. She probably won't even answer." He said

"I can call her, she should be here." Said Nell as she dialed the phone and put it on speaker so her and Deeks could talk.

Kensi was getting ready to head out to the beach for some sand, surf and relaxation when her phone rang. "100 hundred bucks says this is Deeks" she thought to herself as she answered the phone without checking the caller ID.

"I knew it Deeks; you couldn't go even a couple of hours without calling huh, told you you'd miss me. I even bet myself 100 bucks that you'd be calling Deeks." Said Kensi

A giant cheeky smile came across Deeks face as he listened to Kensi ramble.

"Uh Kensi, it's N.."

"Nell? Is that you, is everything alright, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, thanks Kens."

"By the way sorry about the way I answered the phone before. I thought you were Deeks and you know how he gets.."

The expression on Deeks face turned from laughter into confusion.

"Wait, what? Exactly how do I get Kensi?" He asked

"Uh, (Kensi chuckled) Deeks, I didn't know you were there."

"Yeah, uh ha, clearly." He replied

"So Nell, what's going on?" She asked whilst ignoring Deeks.

"Yeah, you know you can't avoid me princess." He said as he continued driving

"Hey Nell, do me favor and take me off speaker phone." She said

Nell smiled and tapped the speaker phone and put the phone to her ear

"So back to my original question before we were interrupted by Shaggy. Is everything okay?"

Nell smiled. "Everything is good. I went to the LAPD with Deeks."

"Wait you went to the LAPD? What for?"

Deeks could see Nell was getting a little frustrated.

Deeks signaled Nell to hand him the phone. Nell moved it away from her and passed it over to Deeks.

"Well if you let her finish a sentence Kensi she would be able to tell you." Said Deeks as he handed the phone back to Nell. "Your welcome" he mouthed

"What was that?" She asked

"I have no idea." Said Nell as she smiled and looked at Deeks. "Um anyway look I went to LAPD to formally identify Tom as my attacker and he admitted to ah….everything. We were just going get some lunch; do you want to join us?"

"Uh yeah, sure send me the address. I'll see you guys there." She said as she hung up the phone.

"She's coming?" Asked Deeks

"Um yeah, yeah she'll be there." He asked

"Great, good." He said as he replied way too quickly.

"What's going on Deeks?"

"What, no, nothing, everything's good." He said as he replied way too quickly again.

"Deeks?" Nell said more forcefully. "I realise I'm not Kensi, but you can talk to me, remember what I said about wanting things to be normal. Don't go reneging on your promise" She said with a soft smile.

Deeks smiled and chuckled. "Well played Jones, well played." He said. Yeah just after we talked, it just got me thinking about my dad that's all. Bad memories, you know."

"Sorry Deeks I didn't mean to caus…"

"What, no, it's all good Velma. I'm good, you're getting good, we're all good." He said.

"Alright" She said softly as they continued to drive.

Meanwhile Callen and Sam had arrived at the café and took a seat outside while they waited for Nell, Deeks and possibly Kensi.

They sat in silence for what felt like 5 minutes but in reality it was more like a minute.

"G, how are you doing with Nell and everything? You good?"

"Yeah Sam I'm good and Nell can start to move forward now that that bastards behind bars.

"Amen to that." Said Sam who was now staring a Callen with a smirk on his face.

Callen knew what Sam was insinuating and put his hand up to stop him. "Sam, stop there is nothing going on between Nell and me."

"I know that G."

"Okay" he replied cautiously.

"But you want there to be something don't you."

Callen knew Sam wasn't going to let this go. He had been questioning his own feelings for Nell for Nell lately. Why had he reacted the way he did with Tom. Kensi had been through hell in Afghanistan and he hadn't reacted like this, but Deeks had. He tortured, nearly killing a man for information on Kensi and here Callen was in a similar situation.

Callen looked at Sam and sighed. "Look, maybe, maybe your right, but Nell she's not in the right place to start anything anytime soon Sam. She needs time to heal and get her head straight."

Meanwhile Deeks and Nell pulled up with Eric following right behind them. They got out of their cars and walked over to Callen and Sam who were still deep in conversation.

Sam took a sip of water and looked at Callen. "I know. I'm just glad to hear you admit it."

"Admit what?" Said Deeks as the three of them came up on Callen and Sam.

"Nothing." They said at the same time.

"Wow look at you two, sitting there, in sync with your answers. So cute" He said with a cheeky smile on his face.

"Sit down Deeks." Said Sam

""Well that was rude, but alright." He said as he pulled out a chair and sat down as Nell and Eric followed his lead.

"Did you call Kensi?" Asked Sam

"Uh yeah I spoke to her, she'll be here soon." Said Nell

"Alright while we're waiting for Kensalina to turn up which let's be honest that could be 5 minutes or we could be waiting an hour." Said Deeks.

Everyone around the table stared at him.

"What! You know I'm right. You all know how long she takes to get ready."

Sam chuckled.

"Huh, see Sam agrees with me." Said Deeks. "Alright, so uh Eric if I remember you said lunch is on you."

They all looked turned and looked at Eric.

"Uh, if I remember right Deeks, you said that lunch was on me, and because we were playing west coast rules and I didn't answer that means lunch is on you." He said with that confident smile that everyone had seen in OPS so many times.

"Wait what!? No, no, no, no, no there were no west coast rules, we we're playing normal rules Beale."

"Sorry Deeks. Lunch is still on you."

Deeks knew he wasn't gonna win this one. "Alright, orders in lets's go."

Callen and Sam turned to look at each other and smiled.

"Uh, wait a minute, alright, no, no weird expensive drinks that are lined with gold or any weird food that costs more than what I make in a half year."

"Deeks this is a café. I don't think they have that." Said Callen slowly as Nell and Eric watched on smiling.

"Alright, well no ordering multiples of things alright, one drink, one meal."

Everyone placed their orders in and the food was being brought to the table when Kensi walked in.

"You guys didn't wait?" She said

"I mean we love you princess we do but we didn't know if you were gonna be 5 minutes or an hour, you know how long you take to get ready."

"You could have picked up the phone Deeks and asked."

"Yeah I probably could have, but I didn't think of that." He said slowly.

"Huh, well since you forgot about me Deeks half of that burger right there. That's mine I'm calling it."

"Wait, no, no, come on I'll get your own." He said

And you guys will all be done by the time it gets here. Nope, you don't wait for me Deeks, you pay the price." She said as grabbed his burger and took a giant bite out of the side.

"Well that was just… hygienic." Said Deeks as Kensi chewed down on his burger.

Nell looked around as everyone was laughing and talking and happy. She smiled.

Deeks looked turned to Nell who was sitting next to him and saw her smiling. "You good?" He asks.

"I'm good" She said as she looked around the table at her friends, her NCIS family and then looked back at Deeks. "Everything is normal" She said. Deeks smiled and looked around the table.

"Yeah it is." He said as he pulled her into him
