Finale Spec/Wishes, pt. 4

Just in case you aren’t one of the two people who are actually following this, see part one , part two, and part three. Again, this is non-formatted liveblog/recap style version of my brain. 

Kensi, Deeks, Fatima, and Rountree are all back at the boathouse. They’re giving High Ranking Official Guy Good Queen Bess. He holds her tight, and says, “I can’t thank you all enough. If there’s ever anything I can help you with, just let me know.” Kensi assures him they were just doing their jobs. Fatima comments, “Good Queen Bess seems…like a very special girl.” High Ranking Official Guy is like, “The most special girl.” They all smile. High Ranking Official Guy says, “I was worried when we moved out of San Diego, that she’d have trouble adopting to LA. Especially without Stephen. But she hasn’t.” 

Kensi and Deeks look at each other. Deeks asks, “You worked in San Diego?” High Ranking Guy is like, “Of course. These days I do more consulting than anything else. After Stephen passed away, I wanted at least somewhat of a change. Everyone understood. He loved Good Queen Bess as much as I did.” Kensi says they’re all sorry to hear about his loss. High Ranking Official Guy — whose name I still haven’t picked even though I named his chicken and husband — appreciates it. High Ranking Official Guy says he should be heading on out, but he does want to know if they ever found the person who took Good Queen Bess directly. Rountree explains that Criminal Guy paid off a drifter whose name was probably not really Smitty Jones MacGuffin, and he’s probably taken his large sum of money and run off somewhere. However, they won’t give up. They’ve got a description out to all agencies. Deeks adds, “Unfortunately, cases like this one can’t be completely wrapped up in a day.”

High Ranking Official Gauy nods. Kensi asks him to hang back a minute. She has some questions. He agrees. Kensi tells Fatima and Rountree to go on ahead of them, they’ll be to the bullpen shortly. Fatima reminds her Callen wanted to see all of them, and they can wait. Kensi shakes her head and says, “It’ll make you two look really good if you beat us there.” Deeks winks. Fatima and Rountree just shrug and leave.

Cut to Kensi and Deeks arriving to the bullpen. Callen, Sam, Fatima, and Rountree are all standing around waiting for them. Deeks asks, “Why is it so quiet? I feel like I should be nervous.” Sam replies, “Most rooms are quiet until you get there. Don’t be so paranoid.” Fatima interjects, “We were just trying to convey to Callen and Sam just how much High Ranking Official Guy loves Good Queen Bess. I guess I don’t see the purpose of a pet chicken. They’re not affectionate like dogs, or as entertaining as cats. Or as soothing as fish.” Sam explains, “Some people are okay with one-sided affection, but I’m sure a chicken shows her affection in her own way. You just have to look for it. And there is something to be said for a hilarious but endearing creature who is both needy and vulnerable but convinced they’re completely tough and independent.” Kensi notes, “That’s very insightful of you, Sam.” Sam nods. “That’s the basis of my relationship with Callen.” 

Callen looks over at him, annoyed. “That wasn’t funny two hours ago, and it’s still not funny.” Deeks adds, “It’s a little funny.” Callen shoots him a look and just sighs. “Moving on. I wanted to call you all here to first off, say, Good Job today.” Everyone nods and smiles, appreciating the compliment. “I also wanted to break the news to you that Kilbride is leaving. His son needs some help, and he wants to be there for him.” Everyone is shocked. Rountree is the first to speak and ask, “Wait, what does that mean? Permanently? Are they sending somebody else?” Callen says, “All good questions.” And Deeks interjects, “I think another good question is, ‘Do they know our track record?’” Callen laughs. “I think they do…which is probably why the higher ups were more than willing to offer it to me.” Another shock, seen on everyone’s faces. Fatima quickly asks, “Did you take it? Are you the new Ops Manager?” They all stare at him, relieved Fatima was willing to be the first one to blurt it out. Callen nods. “I am.”

Everyone congratulates him. And there is hugging (yay). Callen says they’re dismissed for the day. He just wanted to let them know. He tells them good night. He turns to Kensi at her desk near his, and quietly says, “Hey, Kens, can I talk to you for a minute.” Kensi nods. They go off. Sam lets Fatima and Rountree know they don’t have to stay, they can go. Fatima and Rountree walk off. Rountree mentions wanting to get dinner. “Definitely nothing with poultry. Or eggs.” 

Callen and Kensi are off somewhere. He tells her, “Kensi, you know that if I’m Ops Manager, that means my current job is open, right?” Kensi nods. “I already let Sam know. I want you to have it.” Kensi face drops. “Oh, Callen. I didn’t want to say anything until we had something for sure, but Deeks and I are looking at moving.” “Moving?” Kensi nods. “To San Diego — work on the naval base there. Still room for excitement. And challenges. But steadier schedule — steadier presence. We’ve learned a lot with Rosa, and we were hoping to look into trying to get Pilar. Plus, things would be…safer.” Callen nods. “Less monsters like body stitchers you’d run into.” Kensi gives him a sad smile. “I’m sorry. It means so much that you’d ask me. And if things were different —“ Callen assures her, “It’s okay. I understand. I’m surprised we managed to hold onto you and Deeks for so long, just in general.” Kensi puts her arm around his back. “You sure you’re okay?” Callen nods. “Of course. I mean, I won’t be happy to see you go, but I will be happy for both of you if this is what you want. We’ve at least got you guys for a few weeks or more, right? Until you find a spot?” Kensi’s face drops again. “Actually, we talked to the guy from today. He’s got really good connections, plus the ones we already have, and — we could know something in the next few days.” Callen just nods silently. 

Back in the bullpen, we see the simultaneous conversation Sam was having with Deeks. Deeks asks Sam, “So, what’s that about? Wedding stuff?” Sam shakes his head. “Something else. Work related.” Deeks nods. “Vague. Cool.” He pauses. “Speaking of work stuff, I’m sure Kensi is biting the bullet and breaking it to Callen now…” Sam looks over at him, confused. “We’re looking at going to the base in San Diego. Getting jobs with better schedules. You understand.” Sam says, “Wow. That’s big.” Deeks nods. “We’ve already started conversations, and it looks like it might be sooner than we thought. We want to make sure we get to make Callen’s wedding, though. He and Anna didn’t manage to pick another new date yet?” Sam shakes his head. “I know sooner rather than later. I told him not to rush, but he’s worried. Do you know how long it took me to convince him to pick a date without Hetty back?” Deeks offers, “You should’ve just told him that if he wants her to show up, he should just pick a date. She’ll make an entrance.” Sam says, “That’s exactly what I told him! It still took a while. Now, though, he’s gone in the complete opposite direction. It’s like he overcorrects in the most extreme way possible. And he is still not wanting to give out the actual date until it’s almost time. Wants it to be even more top secret.” Deeks just nods. “That’s some pet chicken you got there.”

Callen and Kensi return to the bullpen. Deeks says, “You told him?” Kensi says, “I did. Did you tell him?” Deeks nods. Callen says, “Well, this has been a surprisingly exciting day considering our case was a missing chicken.” Deeks says, “Not to be that guy, but you guys realize this is one of the last times we’re all standing around our desks with each other, right?” Everyone just looks down, sad. They all stand in silence for a couple beats. Kensi then says excitedly, “Oh, I have a great idea!” What about, end of this week, we all go back to the beach and have another celebration?” Callen asks, “A celebration for what?” Kensi adds, “More of a party. A celebration for family. We turn it into a tradition. Make it an annual thing.” Sam says, “That’s a good idea.” Callen says, “I’m in.” Deeks says, “That’s my ladybird. A beautiful genius.” 

Callen adds, “Can we make it Friday?” Kensi says, “Sure, I mean, we haven’t planned anything yet. I was thinking Saturday or Sunday, but Friday is fine if you want Friday.” Callen says, “Thank you. I’m assuming there will be alcohol? I’ve got meetings all day, and I’m going to need a drink or two.” Everyone smiles and laughs.

Since book 7 part 5 (the part where we meet Meleanor/Maleanor 👀) is coming to EN this month, i would love to see your take on lilia’s proposal to meleanor! i mean they were like little kids right? it couldn’t have been that serious…i think the only reason she even brought it up again is because she could tell lilia still genuinely loved her…(even if he didn’t realize it himself?) but, oh well! Let’s think about silly childhood shenanigans to numb the pain! ^_^ (orz)

oh shit?! get ready for a doozy guys, it's comiiiiiing ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I chickened out of posting the whole thing (look, I get VERY carried away when it comes to these wacky kids and their Tragedy), but I do believe that it probably ended with Lilia getting embarrassed and just shoving the first thing he sees into his mouth to try and cover for it.

(we're just lucky it wasn't a frog this time)
