CHAPTER 52: AUGUST 2017...
A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS LATER...
AUGUST 21, 2017...
MARTY...
It had been a little over three months ago now that Marty had watched his own funeral.
He couldn't understand why Caleb Rollins was keeping him alive...other than to just use him as a punching bag.
Eventually Caleb had let Stacey untie Marty from the chair, but would always tie Marty up again when he beat him.
Caleb would send Stacey in to tie Marty up before he entered the room, and then made her watch as he beat Marty.
After Caleb was done beating the crap out of him...Stacey was the one to treat the wounds.
Stacey would bring him breakfast and dinner, though there was never much food.
In the last few weeks Stacey seemed nervous when she looked at the door and Marty wondered if Stacey was helping Caleb willingly...or if Caleb had something on her.
Marty wondered why she was being nice to him, if she was in on the kidnapping.
In the last few weeks, he saw something he had not seen before had been trying to hide and wondered why he had not seen it before...
Stacey seemed nervous and scared when she brought Marty food.
Then the other day...
The sleeve of her shirt had gotten pushed up and Marty felt anger when he saw a bruise.
Since then Marty had been trying to persuade her to help him escape.
Now Marty realized he wasn't Caleb's only punching bag and Marty began to form a plan...
AUGUST 21, 2017...
Marty woke with a start when he heard the door open and looked up to see Stacey.
Over the last few days since he had seen the bruise he began to talk to her.
"Stacey...I know what Caleb is doing to you. I need you to get a message to Hetty Lange...
She can send some people to save me and I will help you out. My family thinks I am dead, because of Caleb. I have a daughter that's going to be 2 in a few days and I would really like to be there for her birthday.
All you have find a phone or send a letter. Please, I need to see my family. It's been three months. If you do this you can get away from him to." Marty pleaded with her.
"I-I can't...After I told NCIS you were dead...Caleb wouldn't let me leave, he told me to quit. Caleb will kill me, like he killed his wife." Stacey said nervously and this was news to Marty.
"Killed his wife?" Marty repeated and Stacey looked at the door before looking back at Marty.
"He killed her just before he kidnapped you. He's been telling everyone that she moved to France. He had it all set up, the plane ticket, her luggage and he made me pretend to be her getting on the plane and leaving..." Stacey said crying.
"Do you have any proof of this?" Marty asked feeling hope. "I would have to find it again. I think I saw it on his computer once, but if I try anything he will kill me." Stacey said and seemed afraid.
"If you help me...I will make sure that he can never touch you again." Marty told her.
For a few minutes they sat in silence and then Stacey nodded...
KENSIā¦
AUGUST 21, 2017...
It had been a little over three months since Marty died and Kensi was finally starting to accept the fact Marty was dead.
It seemed that Matty was starting to accept it to; it had now been over two months since Matty had run around the house yelling for Marty after they walked in the door.
Today had been another exhausting day at work.
Josie had become her partner after Marty's funeral, but Kensi missed Marty so much, especially on the stakeouts.
It was still hard without Marty by her side, but Kensi was making it through and every night since the night she found out he was dead...
Kensi would wake up and have a hard time going back to sleep.
Almost every night Kensi still woke up and she found herself reaching for Marty, only to remember that he was dead.
Every time Kensi woke up she would walk through the house checking the locks and then checked on the kids before going back to bed.
Some of the dreams she had now were of when Marty had been alive. They were dreams of both before and after Marty finally asked her out.
When she dreamed about the nights after they had officially become a couple, she would wake up wanting him at her side.
2300 HOURS...
It had been yet another day long day without Marty by her side and Kensi sometimes wondered how she kept going.
Finally after checking the locks, then checking on Matty and Emma...
Kensi fell into bed exhausted and after a less than a minute she felt her eyes growing heavy.
DREAM *
It was Christmas again and in May it would be a year since Marty's death.
Marty and Kensi had made a tradition to help out at the Soup Kitchen at Christmas time and whenever they could.
For a few hours Kensi's mom would come stay with Matty and Emma, so Marty and Kensi could go help at the Soup Kitchen.
This year was different though...
Because this was the first year Kensi would be going to the Soup Kitchen since the tradition started without Marty.
The first Christmas in seven years she would not see him.
Kensi almost didn't come to the Soup Kitchen this year...she thought it would be too hard, but she felt it was something she had to do.
Kensi took her place to help serve the food. She didn't know what it was, but something made her look up.
When she looked over at the door...
She was looking at a man who had bruises on his face; his hair was not shaggy or long...
But she would know those ocean blue eyes anywhere.
'It wasn't possible...was it? Marty Deeks was dead! That didn't explain how he was here.'
Before Kensi could say or do anything the man slipped out the door and disappeared.
Telling the person next to her she had to go...
Kensi took off, but once she got outside...the man she had seen was nowhere to be found.
She had been so sure that it was Marty.
Kensi had everything with her and made her way to the Mission where she explained to Hetty what she had seen.
The video cameras were checked, but there was no picture on any of the videos of him.
Kensi had just imagined see him, but now she felt hope rise in her that he was alive.*
END DREAM
Kensi sat up in bed and looked around, hoping as she always did to see Marty.
Her dream had seemed so real...
'Was there a chance that the body the temporary M.E. had identified as Marty Deeks was someone else? Could Marty really be alive?'
Kensi felt hope and smiled a real smile for the first time in months...
'Maybe Marty was alive, the body that had been identified as Marty's had been so badly burned...
Kensi would have to investigate and would not give up until she had the answers she was looking for.'
