Chapter Four
Koki lifter her head up off her keyboard when she heard a beep coming from her screen. She looked at it and saw a transmition notification from and unknown server. She accepted it and immediately gasped. "JIMMY Z! AVIVA! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!" She yelled. Aviva and Jimmy Z were by her side in a moment with equally shocked faces. "Oh my God! Martin!" Aviva cried.
"Can he hear us?" Jimmy Z asked.
"No. This is being transmitted to us from a computer connected to security cameras. We can hear him, but he can't hear us." Koki answered as she typed on her computer.
"Can you trace it?" Aviva asked.
Koki shook her head as she answered and typed. "No. it's untraceable."
"Who's that?" Jimmy Z asked as he watched the screen. A man had come on-screen holding Chris.
"I dunno…" Koki mumbled in answer. They watched as the man placed Chris and something they couldn't see at Martin's feet, then turn around and walk out the door. After a while, Chris woke up and noticed the object beside him, picking it up and examining it.
"It's a key." Aviva commented, slight surprise in her voice.
"Why would he give them the key?" Jimmy Z questioned.
"Shh, watch," Koki told him.
On-screen, Chris was waking up Martin. "Chris?" Martin asked.
"Yeah, it's me dude. How you feelin'?"
"Me, what about you? What did Mordecai do to you?"
The trio frowned as they saw Chris shake a little.
"N-nothing… Nothing."
They watched as Martin and Chris talk back and forth. When Martin hugged Chris as the last lock came off, they heard and saw Chris cry as he exclaimed, "he raped me… He RAPED me…"
Their eyes went wide and they all yelled "WHAT?" as they leaned closer to the screen.
They watched the feed of Martin and Chris hugging, then Martin pulled away and say, "Hey, I gotta ask you something,"
"Sure, what?"
"Why were you so upset that night when you asked why I didn't tell you that Jimmy Z and I had kissed?"
"WHAT?" Koki and Aviva exclaimed as they turned to Jimmy Z. Jimmy looked at them with wide eyes and arms pulled close to his eyes.
"Maybe you're jealous." The trio heard Martin say. They turned back to the screen.
"Of whom?" Chris asked.
"Of me! Maybe you like Jimmy,"
Aviva and Koki looked at Jimmy, who shrugged with a bad pokerface.
"O-oh yeah, o-of course, but I don't think that's it," Chris replied.
They looked at the feed.
"Whatever. We can figure this out later. Right now, we gotta find a way outta here." Martin told Chris as he felt the walls. After a while, Martin looked at Chris and asked, "Uh Chris, you OK? You're walkin' kinda funny,"
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt that much."
"So it does hurt."
"Yeah, but not that much,"
Martin stopped him. "Sit down, Chris. You can help later, when you feel better."
"Alright,"
Martin smiled at Chris as he walked to a wall not far from him and sat down. "You're adorable sometimes, Chris." He told him.
Chris whipped his head to the wall to the left.
"Somethin' wrong, Chris? You're actin' a little weird." Martin asked as he walked up to Chris.
"Yup, I'm good Martin; you can go back to checking the walls."
"Hey, when I suggested that maybe you were jealous, you asked 'of whom?'". Why? Most people would've known right away who."
"I needed clarification."
"Don't lie to me, bro. It doesn't suit you."+
"I really don't wanna talk about this right now. This isn't the time or the place."
Martin shook his head as he sat next to Chris.
"No, you're gonna tell me why right now."
Chris rubbed his face. After a few seconds he lifted it, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, here's the truth:" There was a slight pause, and then: "Martin, I'm in love with you."
For the third time (second for JZ) the three screamed "WHAT?"
They continued to watch the screen. The look of shock and multiple other emotions were obvious on Martin's face. "What?" He asked.
"I'm in love with you, Martin." Chris answered. Martin's mouth open and closed slightly.
"Wha… R-really?" He asked. Chris nodded.
Martin just stared at the brunette for a while, before a look of pure joy overtook his face and he enveloped Chris in a hug. Tears of happiness poured out of Martin's eyes as he cried out, "I love you too Chris!"
"WHAT?" Aviva, JZ, and Koki screamed.
"Really? You do?" Chris asked in shock. Martin pulled back, but still held onto him by shoulders.
"Yeah! I realized it a while ago, I just never really knew how to tell you," he explained.
"But, you and Jimmy…" Chris began.
"I only kissed him to help him with his shyness; I only like him as a friend," Martin replied.
Chris started to cry with joy. "I can't believe this is happening…" He said, voice trailing off. After a short pause he wrapped his arms around Martin's and kissed him right on the lips. The Tortuga crew's jaws dropped. Martin pulled back, a smile on his glowing face. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against Chris'. "I love you," Chris said to the blonde.
"I love you too." Martin replied.
A/N: BOO-YAH! FINALLY! My back hurts from sitting for two hours typing this and the previous chapter. I can't tell if I'm hungry or not. I only ate a little bit of breakfast, and I was literally up until 9:00 am and then fell asleep until 12 something pm. Is it OK that I can't feel anything except for the sweat on my forehead(why am I even sweating, the front door's open and so is the back door and I'm sitting between them)?
