Chapter 1: Boyfriend from Hell
Roger was in the kitchen making dinner for his family and Riggs. Trish walked in a walked over to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and smiled. Just then Riggs opened the side door that led into the kitchen and walked in. Roger looked at him with an odd look.
"You are actually early." He said to him.
"Well I had to come by and tell you that I can't stay for dinner." Roger and Trish looked at him.
"Why is that?" Trish asked him.
"I…got a date." He finally told them.
"Wait you have a date? With who?" Roger asked.
"What is her name?" Trish asked.
"Well…his name is Leith Blackstone." He said not looking at them. When he didn't hear anything, he looked up. They were looking at him with a shocked look on their faces.
"You are going out with a guy?" Roger asked.
"Yes." Martin said looked down. His face got a little red.
"Why?"
"Roger, if Martin wants to date a guy then he can." She told her husband.
"Yea but…"
"Miranda was the only woman for me." Martin said this, and Roger got it.
"Oh okay." Roger said and looked at him with still a shocked look.
"Well, I got to go so I will see y'all later." He said and walked out. Roger walked over to close the door and could smell that Riggs was wearing cologne. Roger also noticed that Riggs wearing new clothes. Roger shut the door and looked at Trish.
"Wow Martin with a man, that is surprising." Trish said and looked at Roger.
"Yea it is." He is in a down voice. Trish noticed this and looked away. She had a feeling.
-Next Day-
Riggs was in the car with Roger and they were driving to a new case. Roger looked over at him and Riggs was looking out the window. Roger had to know.
"How did your date go?" He asked.
"It went well." Riggs said not looking at him.
"We went to dinner and then we went to a very nice party then we kissed, and I went home." Martin said answering a text. Roger knew it was from Leith.
"You kissed." Roger said this with a hint of something in is voice. Riggs looked over at him.
"Yes, we did, are you jealous?" He asked.
"What! No." Roger said not looking at him.
"Are ya sure." Riggs asked again. At first, he was joking with him but now he was really asking him.
"No, I am not jealous." Roger said this a little loud.
They got to the crime scene and looked at the dead man. After they got their clues they got back into the car. Martin noticed that Roger was not saying anything to him. Hell, he was not talking at all, and that was odd they always had something to talk about. Riggs smiled an unseen smile, he knew that Roger was jealous.
-A Month Later-
Roger noticed and so did Trish that Martin had stopped coming around. Roger noticed that he would not really talk to him at work that much. One day Roger was in the kitchen and was fixing dinner. Riggs walked in and he looked at him.
"Well look who decided to drop by." He said in an unwelcoming voice.
"Sorry, I can leave." Riggs told him.
"No, you will not Martin." Trish walked in and had heard what to the two men were talking about.
"How is it going with Leith?" She asked him.
"It is…" They looked at him. Roger could see that something was wrong.
"It is going well." He said with a fake cheerful voice.
"Really?" Roger asked.
"Yes." Just then Riggs phone went off telling him that he had a text. He looked at it and saw it was from Leith. He read it and looked at them.
"Well I got to, Leith wants me to come over. We have really hit it off." He looked at Roger. Roger narrowed his eyes and Riggs stared at him than walked out.
Roger watch him leave and wondered about something. He looked over at Trish and saw she was looking at him with an odd look.
"What is it Baby?" She asked him.
"He said hit like it was a code word or something." He said.
"Maybe the really did hit it off." She said to him.
"No, Riggs was trying to tell me something. He would never had said it like that." Roger said and walked over and got his jacket on.
"Roger where are you going?" She asked him.
"I'm going to follow Riggs and see if he is okay." He said and walked over and kissed her. She looked at him and said.
"Okay but if something is up, please be careful and let me know." Roger nodded his head at her.
He followed Riggs from a safe distance. He was hoping that Riggs would not see him. He watched as Riggs pulled up to a very nice apartment building. He saw him get out and look around and then walk in. Roger had parked the car and gotten out. He walked into the building and saw a woman walking to the door.
"Excuse me but could you tell me which apartment Leith Blackstone is in?" He asked her.
"Yes, he is in 10B. If you are here to take him in then good, he needs to be behind bars." She told him while looking through her bag.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because he is so abusive. His knew boyfriend, who is very handsome by the way. His new boyfriend is probably getting hit bad. He always finds the ones the think that they deserve it." Without knowing it she just described Riggs.
"Thank you." Roger said and ran to the elevator and got in and hit the button. It didn't take long to get up there. The whole time he was thinking if Martin was okay. He got out and found the apartment and could here something going on. He knocked on the door loudly. Everything went quiet. Then the door opened. It was Riggs.
"Hey Rog." He said with no emotion.
"What is going on in there?" Roger asked. He saw Riggs eyes to the right and looked the door.
"Nothing really just having some fun." He told him. Riggs looked at the door again this time with big eyes.
"Are you sure?" Roger asked.
"Yes Roger." He said his name. Riggs never said his name, it was always Rog.
"I got to go." Riggs said and shut the door. Roger looked at the door and stood there for a few minutes to see if he could hear again. After a while of standing there he finally walked away.
Leith looked from the peep hole to over toward Riggs who was standing there. Leith walked over to him and put the gun down. Riggs looked at him.
"That was Roger?" He asked
"Yes." Martin told him. Leith walked over and stood behind Martin.
"That is the man that you called out." Riggs closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"You need to be punished." Riggs opened his eyes and there was fear in them.
-3 Days Later-
Roger was in Avery's office. They were talking about how no one could get a hold of Riggs. Roger told him that he had went to Riggs's trailer, but no one was there and looked like no one had been there in a while.
"I'm worried Avery." Said Roger.
"We'll go there and find him." Avery told Roger.
Roger, Avery and Bailey went to the apartment. They knock on the door and this time Leith opened it.
"Can I help you?" He asked them. They walked pass him and looked around for any sign of Riggs.
"Where is he?" Roger turned and asked him.
"Who." He asked looking like he had no idea who they were talking about.
"MARTIN RIGGS!" Yelled Roger. Avery walked over and stood between the two.
"I don't know where he is." The man said.
"Really then why is his phone here and his gun?" Asked Bailey.
"Oh, he left them here." He said with a hint of worry in his voice. Bailey and Roger walked around and looked. Roger saw something in the floor and on the wall. He looked closer and his eyes got wide. Bailey walked over and looked.
"Is that blood?" She asked.
"Yes, it is." Roger answered her. Roger stood up and walked over to Leith.
"Where is he?" He asked again. Bailey walked over and handcuffed the man.
"I will give you a hint. He loved, and he loved, and he lost her." He said and smiled. Roger looked at him with his eyebrows together.
"Oh, and Roger you better hurry. He is running out of air." Leith said this, and Roger's eye got wide. They took Leith away and they were standing there trying to think of what it meant.
"That is kinda like words to a song." Bailey said. Roger looked at her.
"It is, Riggs listens to it when he misses Miranda."
"What?' Avery asked.
"The song is about a love one dying and them at the grave." Roger got it.
"That's where he is at Miranda's grave." They all ran down to their cars and got in. They all drove to the cemetery. Roger ran to Miranda's grave. He stopped and looked.
"There the ground has been recently dug up." He pointed.
They got some shovels and started to dig, finally they saw wood. Roger bent down, and Avery handed him a crowbar and he opened the wooden coffin. As soon as he opened it he saw Riggs laying there not moving. They got him out of the coffin and got him on the ground. Roger moved and started CPR on him. Roger was glad when Riggs took a deep breath in and sat up and was gasping for air. Roger could see dry blood on his face and neck. His shirt also had dry blood stains on it in huge patches. Roger moved and lifted Riggs's shirt and there were lager cuts on his back and bruises.
"He beat you?" He asked. Riggs grabbed ahold of Roger's hand and nodded his head. He was still trying to get air into his lungs.
-Later-
Roger walked into the hospital room that Riggs was in and saw him asleep in the bed. He walked over and took a seat in a chair next to the bed. Trish walked in and stood beside him.
"He will be okay Baby." She told him. Roger looked at him.
"Baby, if you want to you can have a relationship with him." Roger looked at her. She smiled at him.
"Only with Martin." She smiled again and kissed him. She looked at Riggs again and walked out.
"Rog?" Martin said as he woke up.
"Hey, I'm here." He told him. He was glad that he was okay.
"Thank you." He said to him. "I knew that you would save me." He added. Roger smiled at him.
"Why did he beat you?" Roger asked him. Riggs looked away and said.
"When we had gotten close…I…called out the wrong name." Roger looked at him with an odd look.
"Whose name did you call out." He asked. Martin looked over at him.
"Mine."
"Yea, I called out you name." He said with a red face. "But you have to admit that you were jealous." He added.
"Okay I was jealous." Roger admitted.
"You know, Trish did just tell me that I could have a relationship with you."
"Really." Riggs asked not believing him.
"Yes, I did." She said from the door. Martin smiled and looked at Roger. Roger leaned over and kissed him.
