This story takes place during the 'two Todds' storyline. Irene has just shown up at Vicki's to shed some light on who is THE Todd. Meanwhile, Blair and Tea compare notes about the two men. My story is a bit different from what you saw on the episode... Trust me!
~*Llanview Hospital*~
"Wait, Manning, if you go out searching for Victor, you aren't doing Marty any good. What's she going to do when she wakes up and you are gone? Let the police handle Victor. Marty needs you now," John said to Todd.
"Ohhh yeah, like I trust you and the Llanview Police Department to find my brother!" Todd said sarcastically.
"I'll put out an APB on Victor right away. He's gonna get caught," John stated. "It's just a matter of time before we find him."
"He better not step foot near this hospital or Marty again... or I'll kill him," Todd growled.
"Dad," Starr spoke up as she approached him and placed an arm around his shoulders. "Your head is bleeding a great deal. You need to have it looked at by a doctor. You probably need stitches."
"What happened to your head, Manning?" John asked.
"Victor slammed me over the head with something. I think it was an axe. Whatever the hell it was, it hurt like hell. He knocked me out with it... then tied me up to a chair. When I woke up, Marty was bound to the bedposts..." Todd said with disgust. "That's when my brother raped her."
"Alright, I need your official statement. And Starr I need one from you, too."
"I can give you mine now," Starr said to John. "But my dad needs to be seen by a doctor."
"Yeah, Manning... you go take care of that head wound. I'll take Starr's statement, and in the meantime, do not leave the hospital," John said to Todd.
Todd gave John an angry glare as he flagged down a nurse and demanded she find a doctor to stitch up his head. "And get me some pain killers, too," Todd commanded. "I have a gruesome headache."
The nurse took Todd into an exam room where a doctor came in to have a look at his wound. "Yeah, I'd say you need that stitched up," the doctor announced.
"Hurry and do it then. I don't have all fuckin night. I need to get back to Marty," Todd insisted.
Todd grumbled and winced with pain as the medical staff cleaned the gash on his head and stitched it back together. When they were done, he once again demanded some sort of pain medication. They brought him pills to help with the pain, then he got up from the bed despite doctor's orders so he could make his way back to Marty's side. He wanted to be there for her as soon as she woke up.
A couple of hours passed and the sedative had worn off. Marty woke up, looking frightened. "It's okay, baby. I'm here," Todd spoke as he held her hand.
"Victor?" she said fearfully.
"You're safe... you're in the hospital... and I won't let anyone hurt you," Todd promised.
"Victor's going to hurt me again!" Marty cried out fearfully.
"No, he won't," Todd said as he raised her hand to his lips and gently kissed each of her fingers. "If he comes anywhere near you, he's a dead man."
"Don't leave me, Todd. Please don't leave me," Marty begged him.
"Never," Todd reassured her. "I'm going to stay right here. I promise."
~*LaBoulie*~
After giving her statement, Starr went on home. There was nothing she could do for her dad or Marty right now. Visiting hours were over, and Marty was attempting to rest. Starr was exhausted after the whole ordeal and just wanted to go home to be with Hope. When she walked through the door, she was greeted by her mother and Jack. "Starr, where have you been the past few hours?" Blair demanded of her daughter. "Jack and I had plans to go see Tea, so we've been waiting for you to return so you could stay with Sam and Hope. Why didn't you answer my texts or my messages?"
"Mom, I couldn't. I've been at the hospital with Dad... and I needed to give the police a statement," Starr answered.
"Hospital? What's going on with your father? And why the hell were you giving the police a statement?" Blair demanded. "Ohhh my God, what's your father done this time?"
"Dad hasn't done anything," Starr said with a heavy sigh.
"It was Victor," Starr said as she settled her gaze on Jack.
"Victor? What's he done?" Blair cried out.
"Mom, it's just awful. I don't even know if I can say it..." spoke Starr.
"Well, come on, honey. Is your dad alright? Was he hurt? Is that why he's at the hospital?" Blair asked as she wrapped an arm around her daughter.
"Dad's alright... although he did have to get stitches in his head because Victor hit him with something. But that's not the worst thing he did," Starr said as once again she was staring at Jack. "Jack, did you tell Mom your part in this?"
"Jack? Your part? What the hell is Starr talking about?" Blair asked her son.
"I didn't have a part in this!" Jack said defensively. "And Victor was only trying to get revenge on Scar-Face-."
"Hold it a second. Jack Manning, if you had something to do with this-!" Blair cried out.
"I didn't, Mom, I swear. I knew he was following Marty and Scar-Face up to Aunt Vicki's cabin on Llantano Mountain... but that's all I knew. He said he was gonna get revenge, but I didn't know what he had planned!" Jack insisted.
"What did Victor do?" Blair then asked Starr.
"He hit Dad over the head with something and knocked him out. He then proceeded to tie Dad to a chair and made Dad watch as he raped Marty..." Starr explained.
"Ohhh my God," Blair said in a gasp.
"No, no! He wouldn't do that!" Jack cried out.
"He did... and now Marty's in the hospital," Starr told her brother.
"That just makes me sick. I need to get over and talk to Tea about this and tell her what happened, before she hears it from anyone else. She's going to be just devastated. Jack, are you going with me?" Blair asked her son.
"No, Mom. I think you should talk to her alone. It's late, so I'll go over and talk to her tomorrow," Jack replied.
"Alright," Blair said as she kissed Starr and Jack good bye and told them to keep the doors locked. "If Victor calls or comes by, don't talk to him."
"We won't," Jack stated, but as soon as his mother had left, and Starr had gone upstairs to check on Hope and Sam, Jack quickly disappeared out the door.
~*The Palace Hotel*~
Tea had been awake for hours. Dani had gone off to bed, but Tea could not sleep. She missed Blair so damn much. She found it difficult to rest comfortably in her big bed at the Palace Hotel without Blair's arms around her.
She went to fix herself some warm milk in the kitchenette of her suite when a knock sounded upon the door. "I wonder who that could be at this time of the night," she said as she went to answer the door.
"Blair," she said with surprise when she saw the woman she loved standing there in the doorway.
"Can I come in, Tea?" Blair asked.
"Sure," Tea said as she stepped aside so Blair could enter the suite.
After she closed the door, Tea asked, "Why are you here, Blair?"
"I was on my way over here earlier with Jack, because he wanted to apologize, but something happened."
"Jack was going to apologize?"
"Yes, he's sorry for his behavior... and I'm sorry, too, Tea..."
"What happened? Where's Jack now?"
"Tea, I'm going to tell you, but you need to sit down first."
"Sit down? Why? Has something happened?" Tea asked worriedly.
"Come on, Tea. You gotta sit down for this," Blair said as she took Tea's hand and lead her into the bedroom. Once Tea was seated on the edge of the bed, Blair sat down next to her and took her into her arms.
"Blair, you're scaring me... what's happened? Are the kids okay?" Tea questioned.
"The kids are fine... but Todd and Marty are not..."
"Todd and Marty? What are you talking about?"
Blair looked into Tea's eyes as she gently explained what had happened. Tea became greatly upset. "No! Victor's the father of my baby. How could he do that to Marty?" Tea said with a sob.
"I don't know, honey... but the police are looking for him right now. He's dangerous and out-of-control. I just wanted you to hear it from me. I know it's a great shock...but we'll get through this together," Blair promised as she held Tea while she cried.
~*Llanview City Park*~
Jack was sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of the park as he breathed in the cool evening air. He still couldn't believe that Victor, the man he had regarded as his own father, had raped Marty. That was incomprehensible to him. He was so upset by the news that he was overcome with waves of nausea.
He was staring off into the distance when someone approached him. Jack looked up in surprise. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
