"I get a phone call," Todd shouted over and over again as John dragged him into the station.
"Let him make his call and then process him, I'm going to go check on Marty," John explained to Fish as he left the station.
"Tea, I need you...I've been arrested. I need you to get me out of here as soon as possible. Marty's been taken to the hospital and I need to be with her and see how she is," Todd said into the phone.
"I'm on my way Todd and don't worry about Marty. Victor's going to go to the hospital and see how she's doing."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better? You tell your husband to stay the hell away from Marty and get your ambulance chasing ass down here," Todd ordered as he hung up the phone.
XOXOXO
John and Victor arrived at the hospital at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" John asked as he glared at Victor.
"I came to see how Marty is doing so deal with it," Victor said as he walked up to the nurse's station.
"What room is Marty Saybrooke in?" Victor asked.
"I'm sorry sir, but we don't have a patient by that name."
"Are you sure...she should have been brought here about twenty minutes ago," John said as he flashed his badge at the nurse.
"I'm positive...it's been a slow night for us and we haven't had anybody brought in the last hour."
"Okay thank you," John said as he walked away. He had a bad feeling about this.
Victor pulled out his phone and began making calls to his private investigators. Marty had to be somewhere and he was determined to find her.
XOXOXO
"Where do you want her Miss Manning?" He asked as he carried Marty into her house.
"Lay her down on my bed," Irene ordered.
The men laid Marty down on the bed and then left the room.
Irene grabbed a needle and thread and brought it over to Marty. "You did quite a number on yourself Marty, but I'm not going to let you die," Irene stated as she began to stitch up Marty's wrists.
When she was finished stitching up the wound she applied bandages. "I'm not going to let you die. You sacrificed yourself to save my son's life, even after I hurt you. I will not forget that act of mercy and I promise that I will take care of you until a cure can be found," Irene stated as she kissed the top of Marty's head.
XOXOXO
An hour later Todd walked out of the police station with Tea by his side.
"Thanks for getting me out on bail," Todd mumbled.
"Don't mention it," Tea said as she listened to her voice mail.
"Will you drop me off at the hospital? I want to see how Marty is doing," Todd asked as he walked towards Tea's car.
"Wait Todd, I just listened to a message from Victor. He said that Marty's not at the hospital."
"If she's not at the hospital then where the hell is she?"
"He doesn't know...nobody does. She's missing," Tea explained.
XOXOXO
Victor drove to any place that he thought that Marty might have gone to, but there was no sign of her anywhere. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
His P.I. had managed to confirm that the 911 call that Todd had made had been intercepted by a third party. Victor had a bad feeling that this third party had kidnapped Marty.
"Marty?" Victor asked desperately when he picked up his phone.
"No, but I can lead you to her. Drive up Llantana mountain and take a left at the babbling spring. Drive for another thirty miles until you reach a compound. Come alone or their will be consequences to pay," the distorted voice told him before the line went dead.
XOXOXO
"Everything's going to be okay," Irene whispered as she placed a cold rag over her forehead in an attempt to bring Marty's fever down.
"Marty?" Irene asked as her patient's eyes opened and settled upon her face.
"Marty's resting, where am I? Why have you brought me here?"
"Which alter are you?" Irene asked.
"I'm T.M. Marty feels threatened by your presence Irene. The last time that you kidnapped her you threw her to the wolves and the others were created so that she would survive all the abuse that you heaped on her. What do you have planned for her this time? Whatever it is...I want you to know that I will do anything to protect and avenge Marty for any wrong that has been done to her," T.M. ranted has he tried to break out of the restraints that kept them bound to the bed.
"I'm not going to hurt Marty, or you or any of her other personalities. I love her and I'm sorry for all of the pain that I've caused her in the past. I brought her here so that I can make amends by taking care of her until I have located the cure," Irene explained.
"If you really love her like you claim then you'll let her go...you'll let us all go, instead of keeping us chained to your bed."
"I'm sorry about the restraints, but they're for your own good. One of her personalities tried to kill her and I will not let them succeed on my watch."
"Mary has been dealt with and will no longer be a problem."
"I still can't remove the restraints."
"Right...well if you're not going to help me by releasing us from captivity then I insist that you let me see your son."
"My son's already on his way. I called him because I know how much he means to all of you and I know that he can help me save you. Your fever's still too high," Irene said as she placed her hand upon her forehead.
"I'm going to give you something to reduce your fever and help you rest," Irene said as she pushed a needle into Marty's veins.
Irene looked out the window and watched for her son as she prayed that she wasn't too late.
XOXOXO
"What do you mean she's missing?" Todd asked as he grabbed Tea with desperation.
"I'm sorry Todd, but she's gone," Tea explained as she pulled away from him.
"She's sick Tea...I have to find her before she try's to hurt herself again," he vented as he pulled out his phone.
"Mcbain where the hell are you and what are you doing to find Marty?" Todd shouted into his phone.
XOXOXO
Victor pulled his gun out as he arrived at the compound. He parked his car a half a mile from the entrance in some bushes.
He got out of his car and began to sneak towards the compound. He was almost to the entrance of the compound when he felt a sharp piercing pain in his back.
He felt woozy as he fell towards the earth. "Take him to his room where he can rest up," he heard somebody say.
"Marty?" He gasped.
"You'll see her soon enough," he heard them say as everything around him turned to darkness.
XOXOXO
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to let you know that your son is resting in his room."
"Thank you Charlie, did you use the tranquilizer gun on him?"
"We did Mam, it left some bruising and a deep gash but he should recover."
"He always does. How long will he be unconscious?" Irene asked.
"He should wake up tomorrow morning. He's been restrained to his bed like you have asked."
"Thank you. I can't bring Marty's fever down on my own. Will you please bring me two vial's of my son's blood. Hopefully the regenerative nature of his blood will help her fight the infection," Irene stated as she looked at Marty.
"I'll be right up with that mam. I can stay up with Marty if you want to take a break and go and see your son."
"No, I won't leave Marty, I owe it to her to take care of her and I will."
"I'll be back with the blood," he stated as he left the room.
Irene stared out the window as the past came back to haunt her.
Please don't leave me here. It's not too late You can take me back to the summer camp," Marty pleaded. "I'm sorry Marty, but your father has refused to give me any more money for Victor's care. It's only going to be for a few weeks and then I'll have enough money that I can give him the care that he requires," Irene explained as the car came to a stop outside of the house. Irene grabbed Marty's hand and led her to the house. "Irene you're right on time. I have a lot of horny rich clients inside who are willing to pay top dollar for some quality time with little Marty," Vince explained as he grazed Marty's cheek. "How much money do you think that we'll be able to make?" Irene asked. "Five to ten million dollars easily...maybe more once we sell the porn that we make," Vince stated as he grabbed Marty's hand. "Be good for them Marty and do whatever they ask of you. I'll be back in a few weeks to pick you up," Irene explained. "Please don't leave me here. I'll talk to daddy...he'll give you the money," Marty pleaded. "I'm sorry Marty but your father's mind is made up and so is mine," Irene stated as she got in her car and drove away.
Even now, all these years later, she could hear Marty's pleas and whimpers echoing through the halls of this big house that she had bought and paid for with the money that she had made from selling her.
"I've got the blood, do you want me to administer it to Marty?" Charlie asked interrupting Irene's thoughts.
"No, I'll do it," Irene stated as she grabbed the vials. "Before you go to bed, I need you to start administering X-279 to my son," Irene ordered.
"Are you sure that you want Victor to remember everything?" Charlie questioned.
"No, but Marty needs him to remember his past as Victor Lord JR. He needs to remember everything that she's sacrificed for him so that he can help me find the cure before it's too late.
"What if he goes back to the way that he was before?"
"It's a chance I have to take," Irene stated as she turned back towards Marty.
"Come and get me when my son wakes up," Irene stated as Charlie left the room.
"I'm sorry Marty, I don't want to hurt Victor any more than I wanted to hurt you, but I'm desperate to save you just as I was desperate to save him all those years ago," Irene whispered as she injected the vials of blood into Marty's I.V. and waited to see if it would bring her fever down.
XOXOXO
Don't worry Victor, I'm not going to let my father hurt you," Marty stated as she grabbed his hand. He wanted to ask her what she was planning on doing to stop him, but he couldn't. The words were there in his mind, but he never could get them out. For years he constantly struggled to find a way to communicate his needs and feelings without talking, but it was different with Marty. They had a connection and she understood him even if he had never spoken a were times when he thought he could hear her voice in his mind and they would talk for hours about anything and everything. "Don't ever forget that I love you," Marty whispered as she kissed him. She turned the door handle to the lab, but it was locked and for a minute he thought that she would give up, but then she punched her hand through the glass window. She unlocked the door, cutting herself in the process as loud alarms began to go off. The loud noises scared him and he began to cry. "Don't be frightened," she whispered and then she opened the door and ran into the lab. It took all of his strength for him to stand up and walk to the window, but he didn't want to let her out of his sight. Marty went over to the fridge and pulled out the vials. He watched as she slipped the one with her name on it in her pocket. "Marty, what are you doing in there?" He heard her father shouting as he came down the hall with his mother and a few of the armed guards. "I know what you were planning on doing to Victor. You were going to test this biological weapon that you manufactured on him." "Marty, I'm not going to use any drugs on Victor. Just be a good girl and give me the vials," he said as he approached her. "I'm not going to let you kill Victor with this poison," she said as she injected the needle into her arms and pushed the contents into herself. "Marty, what did you do?" her dad asked as she collapsed to the ground. Victor felt the heat that was radiating from the room and watched as flames literally appeared from thin air. "Marty, what did you do with the vial that had your name on it?" He asked as he searched the fridge. "I drank it," she lied. "Thank god, we have to get you out of here, before this whole place blows," he said as he picked her up. He screamed as he lifted her in his arms and began to run. "We have to get you out of here son," Irene stated as one of the guards picked him up and carried him outside, running as far away from the building as he could get. He looked around for Marty, but he couldn't see her. He prayed that she wasn't still in the building as he watched it explode.
"Marty!" Victor screamed as he woke up. He needed to get to her, but he couldn't move and he realized that he was restrained to the bed.
XOXOXO
Irene breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the thermometer. Victor's blood had worked like she prayed that it would. The fever had broken and Marty's infection seemed to be clearing up.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you mam, but your son is awake and is screaming for Marty," the guard said as he entered the bedroom.
"Then we should give him what he wants. Victor should be the first thing that she sees when she wakes up. She'll be less scared that way," Irene stated as the guard picked Marty up in his arms and carried her out of the room.
