Back on the 8th floor, James and Logan are about to depart. Carly then gets the call from Spencer and puts in on speaker.
CS: Spencer? What happened?
SS: Someone else had gotten in the elevator with us. He stopped off at the lobby and someone recognized Carlos.
CS: What?
KeK: Hey, they also recognized him as a rocker. No offense, but I'm not surprised.
JK: Kendall is that you?
KeK: Mom?!
SS: Oh yeah, and we traded Kendall's mom for Gibby.
KeK: Can I borrow the phone?
Carly gives the phone to Kendall.
KeK: Mom, you OK?
JK: Yeah, I guess. Are you getting us out?
KeK: Yes we are, I promise.
There's a *DING* on the other end.
JK: Oh Kendall, I've gotta go, can you give the phone to Carly?
Kendall hands the phone to her.
SS: Carly? Some fans may try to come up, so remember: just act calm and remember your cover story.
KeK: Speaking of which, should we change mine?
JK: Wait, what story?
SP: How about…you're getting Katie because her "birth parents" have just been discovered?
SS: Sounds good to me. Kay, we're getting off now. See you.
*hangs up*
LM: Shoot. We have to go.
JD: Logan? Are we gonna die?
CS: No you're not James! You can do this! Besides, you guys have probably been in worse situations before, right?
KeK: No we have not…
(James and Logan nod in agreement)
CS: Look. Even if you walk out there and you stumble on your act, I know you can pick yourself up and get back on it! You're James Diamond!
JD: You're right!
CS: Who's louder than you?
JD: NO ONE!
CS: Who's hotter than you?
JD: NO ONE!
CS: Who's a better actor than you?
JD: Okay a lot of people—
CS: Today?
JD: NO ONE!
They continue on as Logan, Sam, Kendall, and Mrs. Benson look on with a strange look.
SP: Even I find that strange. *everyone else nods*
CS: Who's—
LM: Listen Carly, as much as I don't wanna go down there either, we have to.
CS: Kay. Good luck.
SP, MB, KeK: Good luck.
Logan waves goodbye and heads in.
JD: Logan? Can you leave the door open for a second? *Logan hesitates and then nods* Carly? I'm not sure if it's the perk up or it's just me, but I kinda like you. Even though you stole my shirt, I really like you. Maybe after all this, do you wanna hang out later?
CS: *Immediately* Yes.
JD: Great. *kisses Carly on the check* See you later.
Logan and James wave at the others as the elevator closes in on them. Carly waves but her cheeks are red and she has a shocked expression on her face.
CS: Oh my god…
MB: I KNOW!
*Awkward pause*
SP: So Kendall…you wanna make it a double date?
KeK: As much as I'd love to spy on my friend and intrude his love life, I have a girlfriend.
SP: Still wanna spy on them anyway?
KeK: *Pauses* I'll think about it.
He leaves, smiling, for the elevator and waves goodbye. After it departs, Carly says, "OK! Let's protect our boys!"
SP, MB: PROTECT OUR BOYS!
