Ok, we have confrontation, what happens next? And I had to toss in one little bit of "oh really de ja vu all over again!
"And you are?" snarked the doctor. I can't give out that information to anyone. This man is a law enforcement officer. The rules are we must have proof of identity. His next of kin are listed as a"- - -referring to a sheet of paper on his clip board "Ms. Susie Deeks or a K. Blye. Can you prove you are either one of those/"
It was then Susie realized she didn't have a purse or a billfold-no id of any kind. She was about to unleash a mothers wrath on the doctor when "Federal Agent Kensi Blye" came from behind her and Kensi flashed her badge and ID. She went on "this is the sheriff's mom. You will let us in now or be held as an accomplice after the fact in the kidnapping and beating of Sheriff Martin Deeks. Now answer the lady's question. And for the record she is Susie Deeks. You may speak now."
The doctor had that 'deer in the headlights look' for a second as Kensi barked again "NOW DOCTOR."
Finally he found his voice and started reading "severe dehydration, severe beating, broken left arm, severely sprained right shoulder, bruises over his entire body, 3 cracked ribs and 42 stitches in various places, most on his inner thighs. It would appear they were trying to force him to tell them something by threatening the family jewels so to speak. He is out of the woods and doing fine now. He is asleep. We have re-hydrated him and taken care of all his wounds and bruises and set the arm. He will be sore as hell for quite a while but should recover fully. He is receiving antibiotics and nourishment thru an IV. We are also watching for a couple types of infection that may prevail due to being in the water for so long. How did he survive do you have any idea?"
"No clue we thought he was dead. May we see him-now" this from Susie.
"I expect him to be out for at least another 3 or 4 hours but you may wait in the room if you wish. I do have other patients to see so if you need something one of the nurses can help you. Also, no cell phone or computer use in the hospital due to the equipment in use at this time." The two women went in and sat down.
After about ½ hour of quiet between the women Susie finally said "this is your chance for redemption. Make peace with him Kensi. Not about getting back together or being partners but making peace with your mistake and moving forward. Don't call the others till after you talk to him so no matter how it goes you can tell them what they need to hear. Can you do that? I will leave the room if you wish."
"NO" Kensi almost screamed. You need to hear it for yourself also. I want to make final peace with the whole Deeks family. If we ever get back together it needs to be all of us" and then after a long pause "although Monty may be a tough sell!" At that point they both started laughing. The tension had been broken and both women got a feeling of relief wash over them.
"Ok, but for the record you and I are ok and will stay in touch somehow" replied Susie and they both settled back to get some sleep. But not before Kensi agreed and gave her a big hug. Both women came to the same realization. They had one thing in common. A love for a Shaggy, goofy sheriff. Then they were out like a light.
5 hours later Kensi's phone started vibrating in her pocket. Waking up and finally realizing what was happening she answered. "Kensi Marie Blye, where the hell have you been?" This from a screaming Julia Feldman. Going on she followed with "I have been calling for 2 days and getting nothing. Now your phone is on so spill-are you ok."
"Wow mom overreact much? You know my job. Things happen." Susie was watching the exchange between Kensi and her mom.
Susie stood and moved over beside Kensi saying "give me the phone dear. Let us mom's deal with this." Seeing the look in Susie's eyes and on her face Kensi just handed the phone over not sure why see did it but knowing it was the right thing.
"Mrs. A-Feldman is it?" Getting a yes then a who's this from Julia, Susie went on "my name is Susie. I'm betting you recognize that name and yes I am his mom. This is a long involved story so you settle in and listen and I'll tell you the whole thing as I go get your daughter and me some coffee and a Twinkie for her." Kensi could hear the roar from her mom from across the room. Soon after that Susie offered "I'll be back soon dear." Then Kensi heard "now first of all they are both fine, just a little the worse for wear." And the door closed.
All of a sudden Julia squealed "is this Susie Quzie from Encino high? Do you remember Julia Culp?
"Oh my goodness Julie-poo oh my" and they were off and running for about 3 hours. Finally Susie said "ok it's a plan heard headed kids meets bull headed mom's. My bets on us girlfriend." Then they giggled some more and hung up as Susie announced "I'm back at his room. Wish me luck and we will keep in touch, promise."
Susie entered Marty's room with a big grin. Kensi noticed and said "so you and mom-"
"Oh my-high school best friends till the ass came into our lives. Chased her away and beat me to where I quit trying. Anyway we have a plan for you 2so don't mess it up. You don't want us both down on the 2 of you. Has he shown any sign of waking up yet?"
Kensi stared for a minute taken back by what she just heard so after an earth to Kensi from Susie she shook her head and mumbled "oh-a-yah nurse just left and all tests were negative so they are easing off the antibiotics and saline. He will still get some nourishment. They also expect him to wake in the next couple hours. Now I need to stretch and call the guys." She grabbed her coffee and Twinkie and walked out the door.
"Sam, no I can't talk right now. Please don't push right now. Something came up that Susie and I had to deal with and then my mom called and she and Susie are high school buddies and it's been weird ever since. I'll call you or G or get back there soonest." Listening she responded "thanks for understanding. I'll call or we'll be back as soon as possible."
She then went to the bathroom, cleaned up a little, got another cup of coffee and headed back to the room. Shortly Deeks started to fidget-the best word for it as he woke up. Soon after that he woke up screaming "go to hell. I would never tell you where Ray is, even if I did know." And he started flailing away at the IV's. Susie moved to him and grabbed him, talking softly while Kensi hit the button for the nurse who came tearing in immediately.
Well, he's been found but how is he and how the hell did he survive! Looking like 1 more chapter plus and epilogue, but you never know where the plot fiends may lead me.
