"I'm here for my daughter you ass, if you did ANYTHING to her you are dead" says Greg angrily
"I swear to god I didn't, I'm not a creep, I believe what most people here in this community believe, that they made a demi work for a republican and are keeping you from your daughter" says the kidnapper
"I CHOSE to work for him because he is more like me in terms of beliefs than most republicans, I'm part of his freaking security detail, would I love to spend days on end with my daughters yes but I only get to come home when he does, you guys have no idea how much shit he has to take from his peers" says Greg
"why was she leaving her girlfriends place then" asks the kidnapper
"a misunderstanding, my daughter is autistic and jumps to conclusions and her girlfriends sister worded things wrong and scared her, please bring her here so I can take her back there" says Greg
"she just went for a nap, it's probably best you go get her" says Cris
"oh I will" says Greg
With Cat
"he didn't hurt you did he Cat" asks Greg
"he didn't touch me if that's what you're asking dad, he had some strong words though, I'm going back to Tori, Jade and Cally aren't I" asks Cat
"it was a misunderstanding Cat, she admits fault, she says she probably should have brought up her research idea first before asking so you'd have context, Tori almost called off the entire relationship because of it, she's scared Cat" says Greg
"I don't deserve them dad, I don't deserve any of them" says Cat scared
"Jade coming into the picture brought back memories I see, look Cat Jade isn't the same person she was there, she beat up a guy who planned to rape you, and she answered his call to Tori, Jade informed me of the situation, she was scared back then Cat, both of them love you, I'd even wager Cally loves you too, they need you" says Greg as Cat gets up and they walk to the car
"I'm scared" says Cat
"you don't think Tori or Jade are scared, they're both older than you even if only slightly, they both told me yesterday that they feel responsible for everything that has happened to you, that maybe they should have lied about how they felt to protect you, that they would have rather lost you as a friend than to cause all this pain, today was the first day I could get away, Tori cut off most of her hair and Jade's headed for a deep depression, I know you love them and you need to be there for them romantically so they can be there for you when you need it" says Greg
"what about Cally, how is she" asks Cat as she gets in the car
"an emotional wreck, she had a nightmare about you being killed last night and when she woke up she destroyed her cochlear so she wouldn't have to hear the news if it came and she refused my pleas to get her a new one" says Greg
"they have each other, what could I possibly bring to the table that means so much to them" asks Cat as they head to Mitchie's
"for one your awesome cooking, Jade said she'd done months of research on how to approach a girl and what it means to be in in a healthy lesbian relationship, she said one night in bed with you gave her more insight than a thousand articles, Cally and Tori both nodded at that, for another your singing voice captivates them" says Greg
"my cooking is nothing compared to Nona's, yours or moms" says Cat
"Jenna's boyfriend James's father owns the best Italian restaurant in town and that side of his family is all Italian and he said your Italian cooking is the best he's ever had" says Greg
"what is it with the Vega sisters and Italians, Trina's boyfriend is Italian too" asks Cat
"Jenna and Tori are identical twins so it's not at all surprising that their tastes overlap and they grew up close to Trina also you should know they broke up, Trina needed to be there for Tori because she was lashing out at Jenna and Trina's ex-boyfriend tried to tell her no that she couldn't help Tori because Tori's gay, according to court documents he tried to make her believe Tori was infected with the 'Gay virus', apparently he's also attacked Jenna multiple times, Trina's bi, Trina finally put her foot down and he nearly stabbed her" says Greg
"oh god" says Cat
Walking in the door
"oh my god Cat, I'm so sorry" says Mitchie
"huh, they didn't die did they…" cries Cat
"god no, Jade come here" says Mitchie as Jade turns the corner and runs to hug Cat
"please never run away again ok, there are bad men out there, Tori's not in the best space, every day you were gone she cut an inch of her hair, Cally's not much better, destroyed her cochlear and started cutting" says Jade
"agreed now take me to them NOW" says Cat as Jade rushes her to their bedroom
"she's always been a bit dramatic" says Greg
"ya no kidding, why do you think they love her, it's never a dull moment with Cat around, she always has these random facts, one day she was making ice-cream from scratch and she stuttered her way through the story of the first time Italy had ice-cream, or the time I had my period cramps and she rattled off foods that would lower the pain and she was spot on, people make fun of her for having these facts, Tori and Cally encourage her to tell them those facts, you really do need to spend more time with her" says Mitchie
"I'm hundreds of thousands in debt, Maria has health problems and her books aren't selling well I'm the only one who qualifies for health insurance and the company refused to allow anyone to be added to my insurance and ones that do have a premium double what I'm paying now, Cally's cochlear implant surgery cost a hundred grand and I can't seem to be able to pay it off, Cat and Cally's prosthetic foot surgeries cost fifty grand each, working for a congressman is the only job that pays enough to pay off my debt in a reasonable time, I WISH there was a job that paid enough and was in the city where I could spend time with my family more, unfortunately there isn't a job that does all those things Mitchie" says Greg
"what about a cop" asks Caitlyn
"pays well but I was a deputy chief back in LA and the chief raped girls, when I learned of that I quit, besides being a cop puts me in harm's way, when I was a deputy chief there wasn't a day that went by that Cat had a good nights sleep, sure she misses me now but she knows I'm far less likely to be shot so she sleeps better" says Greg
"I've noticed Cat and Cally's skin is different colors, why is that' asks Mitchie
"they're identical twins but Cally has a skin condition that makes her skin darker and Cat has one that makes her skin lighter, Cat could spend six hours at the beach tanning and get a burn but never tan" says Greg
With Cat
"I'm home girls" says Cat
"he didn't hurt you did he" asks Tori as she cuddles Cat
"no, he was very kind, though it seems I got lucky as he said there are people who believe what he believes that would hurt or rape me to prove a point, please tell Cally she WILL be getting a new implant" says Cat as Tori signs to Cally and gets a no in response
"she won't go, says she's afraid of being killed" says Tori
"how easily she forgets dad pays extra for a personal one on one doctor who comes to us, if she needs any new tech that would require surgery we can always go together but whether she gets a replacement old one or surgery for a new one it doesn't matter, she will be getting a replacement" says Cat as Cally cuddles them
"I'm so lucky to have you guys love me" says Jade
"we are lucky to have you Jade, Cat and Cally are often in the mood for a little fun but I'm not always at the same level but you usually are" says Tori
"ahh I see what you mean, they're high revving and you and I are alternating cycles" says Jade
"I mean ya ok that makes sense but where on earth did you come up with that analogy" says Tori
"my aunt and uncle here, my aunt is a motorcycle enthusiast and my uncle is an electrician, alternating cycle refers to electricity and high revving is a motorcycle term, I'm more of an eco warrior than I look, I love motorcycles but hate the exhaust, luckily my rich family still loves me because I did the right thing so they gave me my inheritance which is like two billion dollars, my grandfather died a few years back and that was money I was supposed to get then but my parents were afraid I'd spend it all on irresponsible things, which to be honest I probably would have" says Jade
"wait one question, how did you know where to find us" asks Cat
"the article said new York city so I flew here and just started asking at the malls if anyone knew where Tori Vega lived, it took six and a half days of asking but I finally got an answer, they said Jenna Vega just got hired by Caitlyn Toress so start there, I knew from the grape-vine that you never stayed far away from your sister" says Jade
"whoa what grape-vine is there to prove that" asks Tori
"the little songs you and Jenna used to post, one line in every one said 'I'll always be by your side' like come on what part of sibling rivalry brings that line up, besides I've never once see you two fight period, Jenna's bi isn't she" says Jade
"I'm not exactly sure what she identifies as and it's none of my business anyway, all I know is they're fighting and she had told me she doesn't plan to stay with him" says Tori
"do you think Jay got to him about the whole 'gay virus' thing" asks Cat
"oh I know for a fact he did, I can tell every day that her affection for him is dropping every day, he no longer apologizes for his cussing tics, she's very secretive about her sexuality and I have a feeling that he has hit her a few times on purpose" says Tori as Jenna walks in with a black eye
"hey, can I stay here tonight" asks Jenna
"first explain the black eye" says Tori
"I tic hit myself" says Jenna
"nah I don't believe that, your tics never target your eyes, James hit you didn't he, my bet is you told him how you identify sexually and he didn't like it" says Tori as Jenna sighs
"ok fine yes he hit me, I admitted I was jealous of you guys having fun and I realized I don't like guys at all" says Jenna
"I'll let Mitchie know, do you have a girl in mind" says Tori
"yes and no, there is no way she likes me, she's like mega mega popular at school" says Jenna
"are you talking about Ashley King" asks Tori
"uh ya, how'd you know" asks Jenna
"because she's one of the only people who talk to me, she's coming over next week to talk contortions and gymnastics, she doesn't trust James in the slightest so if you want even a chance you need to kick James out" says Tori
