"I've officially lost it," Kellie said to herself, "Between the havoc Garrett's already caused, finding myself in this cabin of all cabins, and being sick with what's probably ovarian cancer, I'm completely losing my mind. I'm actually starting to consider that I could be pregnant when I know it's not possible."
"Oh please," Obrecht said, nonchalantly reading an old magazine on the couch, "You've been banging Jason Morgan for how long now? It can't possibly surprise you that would wind up carrying his brat?"
"Oh god, you are really here," Kellie said, startled, "My tubes are tied. Have been for years. Which leaves me with ovarian cancer as a likely diagnosis according to the doctors."
"Symptoms?" Obrecht asked.
"Wicked Nausea, Fatigue, no period for three months," Kellie said, "lightheadedness. And yes the doctors determined what ever hormone would typically indicate pregnancy is elevated. But all my symptoms could be attributed to…
"You my insipid girl," Obrecht interrupted, "Are too young for ovarian cancer. You are most definitely with child. So obviously your tubes weren't tied correctly if at all. If you really did have ovarian cancer a saline drip to rehydrate you and anti-nausea medication wouldn't have been much help to you at this point."
"If the procedure was botched, then I should have found out when Tyler was still alive," Kellie said.
"Oh yes, your dead husband, who mostly likely had been rendered infertile by his illness and treatments," Obrecht replied, "I thought you would have more brains than this. But you are proving to be as disappointing as well most everyone else. Did you even have a doctor other than the one who was supposed to perform the procedure confirm that it was actually done?"
"No," Kellie said, "The thought that my doctor would screw it up or not do it never would have crossed my mind. It wouldn't cross most people's minds."
Obrecht looked annoyed, "Then you don't even know if the procedure was actually done or not."
"But the doctors," Kellie started to say.
"Can be idiots," Obrecht said, setting her magazine down and getting off the couch, "You know your own body better than any doctor. Though your intelligence certainly isn't living up to its reputation, I'll have to assume it's pregnancy brain. Never mind that, what do your instincts tell you about your condition?"
Kellie didn't answer at first.
"That I'm pregnant," Kellie said, hesitantly, "But it doesn't make any sense."
"You'll get over it I suppose," Obrecht said. "I should inform you your captor seems to think you might have an IUD which could be problematic for you and the child."
"How the hell would Garrett know anything about this?" Kellie said, backing away from Obrecht "How are you involved in all of this?"
"Quite unwillingly, I assure you," Obrecht said, "I was having a nice quiet evening in my apartment when this thug forcefully took me and brought me here."
"Why should I believe you?" Kellie said.
"I have no use for for Garrett's type," Obrecht said, looking disgusted, "I may have done one or two horrible things, but helping with that is inhumane. As for how he knows about your condition, I have no idea."
"He picked you to treat me because?" Kellie asked.
"Heaven knows why but I seem to be Garrett's doctor of choice to kidnap when he needs medical treatment," Obrecht answered, I'd hoped that time in the middle east was the only time."
"You disappear all the time and have a penchant for skating into questionable activities,," Kellie said, "He'd bank on no one asking questions if you went missing."
"I was supposed to watch James," Obrecht said, "I'm sure Maxie and Nina have people looking for me."
"Let's hope so. The more people trying to find us the better," Kellie said, "What is this about an IUD?"
"Just that Garrett seems to think you may have one," Obrecht said, "I should tell you that the pregnancy may not be viable if there is one. Your life could be at risk as well."
"We have to get out of here," Kellie said, "I can't…..I can't lose another child if there is one in this cabin."
"What do you mean another?" Obrecht said.
"i miscarried when Ethan beat and raped me here," Kellie said, willing herself to hold it together, "Now I might be pregnant in the same damn cabin and…."
"Then I suggest we come up with a plan for getting out of here," Obrecht said, "Unless you plan on panicking while waiting for Jason to rescue you."
"I never assume anyone else will come rescue me," Kellie said, looking around the room, "The curtains weren't here when I first got here."
"I convinced our captors they were necessary to keep you from being agitated," Obrecht answered, "That his guards looking in made you violent and that wasn't good for the baby. My apologies for having to sedate you. You weren't exactly the most cooperative patient with what I assume were nightmares."
"I feel better now so I can't complain. In the meantime, they have no idea what we're actually doing in here," Kellie said, "Provided they haven't bugged the place or have a camera."
"There isn't," Obrecht said, "I tested the theory."
"How many guards are there?" Kellie asked.
"Two," Obrecht said.
"I hope you have more of the sedatives that you were giving me," Kellie said.
"More than enough to ensure the guards have a nice long nap," Obrecht said.
"Hand me a needle or syringe," Kellie said, "and a rubber band or a hair tie if you have it."
"I fail to see how either of those items will help in your hands at this moment," Obrecht said.
"I can use the needle pick the lock on this shackle," Kellie said.
"You can do that?" Obrecht replied.
"It's child's play," Kellie said, "Is there anything flammable, anything from matches to paint thinner in this cabin?"
"I did find matches by the fire places, Obrecht said, "But nothing else."
"You'd be surprised," Kellie said, "What supplies do you have and are in the cabin?"
Obrecht ran through a list items in her bag and in the cabin including hand sanitizer, flour and bacon.
"Hand sanitizer has alcohol in it which is flammable along with bacon grease," Kellie said, "Flour has been known to help feed a fire as well."
"The WSB must have taught you that," Obrecht said, "But what exactly are you planning to burn."
"This cabin," Kellie said.
"Are you insane?" Obrecht asked.
"Unless you have a cell phone and service," Kellie said, "I highly doubt we have another way of attracting the authorities attention. We're in the middle of almost nowhere with a long walk out of here. Even if we find someone nearby, who knows if we can trust them. But the cabin could send up a giant smoke signal to attract law enforcement and other emergency personnel."
"Reduce the chance of us being caught by the enemy," Obrecht said, "it could work."
"We'll light the front of the cabin on fire to district the guards and climb out a window in the back," Kellie said, "If one comes after us, we inject them with the sedatives."
"And where exactly does the rubber band or hair tie you asked for fit in to this plan of yours?" Obrecht asked.
"Nowhere," Kellie said.
"Then why ask for it?" Obrecht asked.
"I just need it. Do you really have to know why?" Kellie asked.
"Yes," Obrecht said, "Do you want it or not?"
"Fine," Kellie said, exasperated, "While I can probably button my jeans back up as they are, it certainly won't be comfortable and if you're right it's just going to get worse, so if you have something, please hand it over."
"Since you said please," Obrecht said, going over to the drawers in the kitchen area and grabbing a rubber band.
Obrecht held the rubber band just out of Kellie's reach, "One more thing, is burning down the cabin really necessary? We could just sedate the guards and run."
"Yes," Kellie said a little too quickly.
"Why do I get the feeling you just want to legally commit arson with this cabin," Obrecht said.
"If you had my history with this cabin," Kellie said, "wouldn't you want to burn it down."
"And people think I'm a piece of work. But fair enough," Obrecht said, handing Kellie the rubber band, "Make no mistake I will hold you personally responsible if this goes wrong."
NCIS
Meanwhile Jason, Gibbs, and the rest of the team at NCIS had been able to discover Garrett worked with Ilya who had multiple branches of his community outreach cult in the middle east and Russia. These locations also served as a front for trafficking people through.
"That should get us Shiloh's file then, right Director," McGee said in the bullpen.
"No dice," Leon said, "Sec Nav says with out hard evidence, we have no cause to get the file. A picture of Shiloh with Garrett and Shiloh having an organization similar to Petrov isn't getting us anywhere. Currently, Dawn of Day on the surface appears to be what it is, a community outreach organization."
"But if it looks like a cult and smells like a cult," Gibbs said.
"We're still looking," Leon said, "The FBI and IRS are interested in Shiloh's finances. His father disinherited him, so the questions remains how is he funding this little enterprise. What's the latest on the search for Kellie?"
"McGee and the Jackal geek are looking for properties Garrett may own in Florida," Gibbs said, "But it's taking time given we have to look through shell companies and figure out who the owners are."
Spinelli who had flown out to assist uninvited came running frantically from Casey's lab into the room, "The despicable one bought the cabin where Wonder Woman was violated by his dastardly sibling."
"How many times do I have to tell you use english," Gibbs said, smacking Spinelli upside the head.
"Garrett bought the cabin his brother took Kellie to years ago," Jason said, "It is in Florida."
"Bishop," Gibbs said, "Call the authorities in Florida. Jackal get me an address."
"Done before I came running down here," Spinelli said.
Jason was on the phone calling Roy DeLucca filling him in on the situation, "I'm heading down and NCIS has already let the authorities know."
"We'll send our men out to look for her," Roy said.
"Liesl Obrecht might be with her," Jason said.
"Where's Sloane?" Gibbs asked, "Torres, tell her to meet me at the airport."
"Where do you think you two are going?" Leon asked.
"To make sure we get Garrett this time and coordinate the search from Florida," Gibbs said, "Kellie and Sloane are friends, she might need a familiar face."
"Permission to go granted," Leon said, "Morgan you can fly down with Gibbs and Sloane."
"Thank you," Jason said.
"I'm coming too," Spinelli said.
Gibbs groaned, "Absolutely not. He does not have any kind of training to be in the field."
"He's coming with us," Jason said, "We might need his tech support."
"He can do that from here," Gibbs said.
"He's going," Leon said, "Now quit wasting time and go bring Kellie home."
