A/N: I OWN NOTHING!!

Ch.7—What Goes Around
The limo halted at The Palace, and Chuck was astonished to see the Van der Bass suite looking completely abandoned once he stepped inside. He went inside and rummaged through his room and some of his belongings, everything seemed to have been misplaced or moved to a different location.
"Charles," he heard his father's voice coming into the room he was currently in.
"What's going on?" Chuck asked, turning towards him. "Where's Lily? Eric?"
Bart sighed. "I believe there is someone trying to take over my company."
He looked at him strangely. "What are you talking about? Who would even try to do that? It's unthinkable."
"I believe it has something to do with your recent treachery concerning a Georgina Sparks?"
Chuck's eyes widened. "What about her?" he growled.
"Well…." Bart paced the room. "It seems as though Ms. Waldorf had her sent off to a reform school for her illegal acts as of late?"
Chuck nodded. "Yeah."
"Georgina has more connections, more capability for evil than I ever imagined."
Chuck sighed, brushing a hand through his hair. "What do you mean?"
"Lily and Eric have been kidnapped and I'm guessing from your dazed features, so has Blair?"
Chuck sat down on the ripped up couch in the living room, feeling completely overwhelmed.
"I've also done some research," Bart said, following his son throughout the apartment, "the employee Ben who accompanied Blair on the helicopter is the brother to Miss Sparks…"
Chuck turned around in a panic.
"…and he is," Bart gulped, "taking Blair to her."
"We've got to do something!" Chuck jumped up.
Bart put up a hand to silence him. "Already one step ahead of you." He held out a hand to gesture as Amelia walked into the room.
"Hello Charles," she said flirtatingly.
Chuck rolled his eyes.
Bart looked between the two of them. "Do you two know each other? I mean, better than I thought?"
Amelia walked forward and slid her hand along the front of Chuck's shirt. "Oh, we know each other VERY well," she winked at him.
Mr. Bass looked at his son. "I thought you were past all this, son."
Chuck scoffed. "I am," he fiercely removed Amelia's hand and pulled his father aside. "We can't trust her," he whispered.
Bart looked at him in disbelief. "No, apparently the one we can't be trusting is you."
Chuck looked at him in shock. "What?" Just then two men came from around Chuck and shoved him into a nearby vacant room. "What's going on?" he asked, trying to fight them off.
"I'm leaving," Bart said. "Amelia is going to accompany you here as soon as she tells me the whereabouts of Lily and Eric. From there we will discover Blair's whereabouts and bring them safely home. Hopefully by then you will have decided to reconsider your lifestyle."
Chuck stood agape. "You don't even know this woman! How do you know what she's capable of?!" the door was slammed shut in his face and he was thrown against the bed as the two men exited the premises. "Amelia will be in for you shortly," one of them announced gruffly.
"Mr. Archibald," a doctor came out from one of the patient rooms. "You can come and see her now."
Nate rose quickly and followed him into the room, where Serena was twitching in her sleep. "What's wrong with her?" he asked with concern.
"She has slipped into a panic attack. What makes this different from most attacks is that she is completely unaware. She is unconscious. She is…"
"In a coma?" Nate asked.
The doctor nodded subtley.
"How can this be? She just took an overdose of some sort of medication."
"Yes, I know. We are still trying to figure this out. Is there any idea you could inform us what that medication was?"
Nate shook his head. "I honestly have no idea."
The doctor sighed. "well then, why don't you just stay in here with her and I'll see what more I can figure out."
Nate nodded and sat in the chair next to her, slowly putting a hand against her cold, clammy face. "Oh Serena…"
"I'm kinda bored…."Blair droaned out for the hundredth time.
Ben looked up. "I could kill you."
Inside Blair shuddered, but she would not let it show. "With what? Your magazine?"
He looked at her in shock. Had she actually questioned his authority?
"Just wondering…" she said, looking down at her phone again, checking her messages. Nothing. Come on Chuck, where are you?
Just then, Ben got up and walked over to her, shaking her. "What did you do?!"
"Ahk!" she pushed him off of her. "What are you talking about? Get off of me!"
"Ugh," he flipped over his phone. Obviously his was on silent too. How he had known there was a bad news message on there, she would never figure out…unless it was staged? He went to the cockpit and Blair could feel the helicopter switching directions, and lowering? "I'm taking you home," he announced, landing back in his seat.
She looked at him, confused. "Uh…."
"Shut up!" he grunted, and reopened his magazine.
She gulped and smiled as she found a NEW MESSAGE blairng across her phone. "Okay…" she muttered.
He looked at her hesitatingly, and she said nothing more.
