Kelly arrives first at LA Med. He doesn't know how his son got into this predicament, but he hopes that Antonio can find out. As for Marty himself, it obvious that he can't take care of himself. This didn't happen overnight, so Marty saw it happening and rather then stopping it, he covered it up.
Callen, Sam and Kensi arrives and see Kelly.
"Kelly, how is he?" Callen asks.
"I just got here myself. They paged Will already." Kelly answers looking for Will to show up and take him to see his son.
Kelly notices that Kensi seems more anxious than anyone, including him. The only time he has seen that type of response was with Gabby and Casey. It makes him wonder if there is something going on between Kensi and his son.
"Callen what is the story with Kensi and Marty?" Kelly whispers.
"They have a thing going. However, I think that everyone else notices except for them." Callen answers back in the same soft voice.
Kelly nods definitely like Gabby and Matt. He sees Will approaching.
"Will, how is he?"
The others look on anxiously.
"With plenty of rest, he will be okay. This time that is."
"We will make sure that it doesn't happen again." Callen promises.
Will looks at the 3 wearing a black jacket that says NCIS. He doesn't know anything about them so he is not sure they can keep that promise. Anyone who truly knows Marty would never make a promise like that.
"You can see him, but he is still sleeping."
It is hard on all of them to see Marty lying so still with an IV sticking out of his hand. For the first time they see the dark circles under his eyes. They all wonder how they could have missed it before.
"How is he?" Came a new voice.
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw 3 people standing there. Callen, Kensi and Sam had no idea who these people were while Kelly and Will did.
"Kensi, Callen, Sam meet Antonio Dawson, Jay Halstead and Greg Gurwitch. They are LAPD Intelligence. Antonio, Jay, Mouse this is the NCIS team that Marty works with; G Callen, Kensi Blye and Sam Hannah." Kelly introduced the 2 teams.
"Will, how is he?" Jay asks his brother.
"I know that it doesn't look like it now, but he is gonna be okay. The important thing is that this does not happen again. His health can't handle it, especially the weight loss." Will answers as he looks on at his patient one more time before ushering everyone out so that they do not disturb him.
"Antonio, did you find out what he has been up to?" Kelly asks.
"We did, or more like Mouse did. It is not good, but the exhaustion and dehydration that he is experiencing now is still better than what could of happened." Jay spoke up.
Everyone paled at that comment, there are very few things that can be worse than what he is going through now and the one that tops that list is death.
"You mean to tell me that whatever it is that he has been doing could have gotten him killed?" Callen asks.
"That would have been the end result if he wasn't so good at undercover work." Antonio tries to explain. He has done undercover work so has Jay and everyone one else in the unit; but none of them can hold a candle to Marty Deeks when it come to being undercover. "Marty is probably one of the best undercover operatives that I have ever seen.
The NCIS team could not believe what they were hearing. Marty has been working undercover and they never noticed. He was never late and he never left early so when did he have time to be undercover.
"How?" Kensi gasps
"According to what I have found Marty has been averaging 20 hour work days. Around 9 each night he starts his undercover assignment." Mouse says.
"There is no way in hell Lt Bates would allow it. There has been times he pulls Marty for an assignment, but he wouldn't allow Marty get to this state." Callen argues.
Antonio and Jay look at each other. This next part is the worst part of it all. Marty has basically been on a suicide mission and he knew it.
"Lt Bates is on vacation. His replacement is the one that was doing this to Marty." Antonio states not sure how to tell them.
"We know that Marty has trouble with some of the cops in LAPD." Kensi points out.
"His trouble with the cops is child's play in comparison to this one. He put Marty on this assignment with the intention of it getting him killed." Jay explains.
"Who is running the assignment?" Kelly asks angrily.
"Blackwell!" Antonio and Jay say in unison.
Kelly is looking at them with disgust at that guy's name.
Kensi, Sam and Callen all look at each other with one thing on their mind, who is Blackwell.
