The next morning as Tori arrives
"well well well looks like Quinn was right about you wanting to stay out of the media, Lola's not the suicidal type but you know her best, why try to kill herself" says Dana
"I thought you didn't care what I thought because my love doesn't match up with what you believe love should be" says Tori
"look I may love Nicole and believe that love is meant to be shared between two people but I know love when I see it, you came back for Cat, for the girl who pushed you away fearing you'd cheat on her" says Dana
"Lola's always had an ego problem, when she was part of the relationship she always had to have the first lick of Cat or Zoey, she couldn't handle being second, she tried to kill herself because she can't handle feeling guilty, she takes being hyper sexual to a whole new level, there were times where she'd wake up in the middle of the night and take Cat or Zoey or me while we slept, it terrified Cat, Lola never apologized for it, unlike her Zoey and I never left the country, we'd always planned to come back the moment Cat settled down and needed us again, Lola fled as far as she could afford to, she could have stayed in Puerto Rico, she chose France because of the likelihood of her getting a modelling job was high and it was super far from Cat, she spent her modelling money at bars and on hookers, and a house in Paris and LA, you don't do that unless you don't care or feel too guilty to come back" lies Tori as they head to Butler Hall aka home
"you care about Cat a lot huh" asks Dana
"I only left because Cat made me leave, I called Quinn every day looking for updates on Cat's condition, Zoey obviously couldn't, she'd been sent into a trap and had been chained to a bed, Lola hadn't called Quinn once, the deal Zoey, Lola and I had made before Zoey left was that if we had been pushed away by Cat that we'd call every day for updates on her health, Lola didn't do that, she could have called Quinn, Logan, Andre or even me, she didn't" says Tori as they enter Cat's personal bedroom
"hey Tor, you really ok with Robbie being part of our relationship" asks Cat
"yes, it wasn't entirely his fault, had you talked that fast around me I'd have made the same mistake, you like to believe that if you talk through the memories you won't forget them, you also forget to censor the private part of the memories around people you don't want knowing them, I heard he gave you the real deal last night" says Tori
"yeah, then once the surprise was understood he went for a tumble with Zoey, I was really hoping you'd let him tumble you too" says Cat
"I'm only into girls Cat, besides Andre would be my choice if I liked him that way, after the Ryder scare I'm not sure I want a man's stick in me ever, maybe I'll let Robbie taste me down there but I don't know about tumbles Cat" says Tori as Dana leaves them to themselves
"it's ok Tori you don't have to, I'm just glad she can feel everything now, she still can't walk because those metal things are still in her blood but tomorrow we get a blood cleaning thing and they won't be anymore" says Robbie
"why is Zoey naked" asks Tori
"because we just had a little fun Tori, we stopped when Dana texted Cat saying you'd arrived so she didn't walk into us doing it, can we continue" says Zoey
"quietly, I want to cuddle with Cat" says Tori
"take me to the next room Tor, you know what I want" says Cat as Tori struggles to pick her up
"did you gain weight or something" asks Tori
"not by choice, the paralysis and the meds, I had no way to lose the weight, I'm not fat now am I" says Cat as Tori begins the walk to the next room
"never Cat, once you can walk again that weight will vanish, though if you like it I won't mind if you eat more to keep it, I didn't fall in love with you because of how you look, it was never about looks, it was about your soul, your morality, nobody left behind, that's what I love about you" says Tori
"I don't like Lola's story not being told, sure I don't and won't ever love her again but she deserves to be heard, she deserves to tell me herself why she chose to walk away, I deserve to know Tori" says Cat
"do you feel responsible for her leaving" asks Tori
"no, Zoey got lured in by the promise of free schooling, Zoey didn't want Lola following her because she didn't like how easily she got accepted into Cali U, if it had been a trap, which it was she didn't want Lola to be a victim too, which she would have been, her intention wasn't for Lola to walk away, had Lola stayed I'd have never felt like I was a burden to you and that you'd cheat on me and I'd have never pushed you away, the whole reason we got in this mess with her is because I was getting worse and you couldn't take care of me by yourself, we are all at fault for how it almost ended Tori, Lola deserves to be heard, she deserves to tell me what she was thinking when she left" says Cat
"I doubt she will, perception is everything to her, she made the mistake of calling us slugs, that we were no more than slugs to her, she already tried to apologize but she did it in a disguise, Zoey turned her away for a reason, unless she is willing to risk her career to show the world she was wrong to demean us then she isn't worth your time, coming in a disguise means the chance of her lying is high, if she can't take the risk of showing the media she lied then why would she tell us the truth" says Tori
"I guess that makes sense, I want her to be happy Tor, that just isn't with us, there has to be another reason other than ego that she tried to kill herself" says Cat
"she's all about acting, at this point it could be everything or nothing, we won't know if she's lying, she's never been about risk, nor has she ever been about Suicide, prevention or otherwise, guilt and ego are the only constants in her life, I'm more complex than she is yet I'm also more open about it" says Tori setting Cat down on the bed
With Quinn
"is this line secure Quinn" asks Lola
"not smart contacting us and obviously it is why" says Logan
"I know who the ring leader is, I met him, back in Paris, everything I've done since I left The loves of my life I did for a reason, I'm not actually a model, though at this point I don't want to be anymore, the CIA hired me to track down the ring leader of the ring that snatched Cat and Tori, the FBI and State police weren't getting anywhere, the girl named Newa knows things, she's wicked smart, they'd planned to sell her as a slave in America to keep her quiet, then Tori and Cat interrupted the kidnapping of her class, Newa along with them" says Lola
"so the slugs comment and the unannounced visit in a wig with the five million dollar rose were what then" asks Quinn
"the slugs comment was to try and ward off the assassins coming to kill Newa, Tori and Cat, they are trying to impersonate security but had yet to be successful, I assume you found the lemon juice in her iv that nearly killed Cat" says Lola
"how do you know about that" asks Quinn
"because they hired Stacy and Rebecca to spike Cat's iv so she couldn't defend herself, it would be seen as a medical blunder instead of murder meaning they would get away with it, the rose and the wig was an attempt to warn Cat about that" says Lola
"so it was them who got Zoey tied up and raped for almost three months" asks Logan
"precisely, they were hoping to kill Cat specifically because they think she overheard them talking to the big boss, the man I met, getting her to be alone would mean less security would be needed because Tori would have left, meaning it would be easier to kill her or permanently damage her memory" says Lola
"why the attempted suicide" asks Dana
"smart and sharp as ever Dana, as you know the CIA does not always treat its sources fairly or at least makes it look that way, my attempted 'suicide' was an attempt to make it look like the CIA killed me for my information on the trafficking ring, at least that's what the ring leader would have assumed, stupid press blew the whole thing, three months of work down the drain" says Lola
"who else do I know that's an agent for the CIA" asks Quinn
"Dana, me and Tori, Tori's probably the best agent our age, she made it all look like an accident, her on a date to China, please nothing is more romantic than walking the great wall" says Lola
"does Cat know, or did she know, her memory is worse, she only remembers up to being in the container now" asks Quinn
"hard to tell, Tori's cover is air tight, it helps that she IS actually selling music like hot cakes, this China thing had been her first mission, how else would she have been able to afford the software she used to make her music, uncle David isn't exactly rich enough to afford even a quarter of the equipment and software" says Lola
"how did you know Lola, I didn't know she was CIA and I'd been calling her every day along with her calls to Quinn to check up on Cat" asks Dana
"I was romantically involved with them Dana, you get to know things, for example I knew Zoey would turn me away when I wore the wig, just as I knew she'd tell Cat about it eventually, the rose while one of Cat's favourite was a message to Tori, telling her to stay put, to protect Zoey and Cat and Newa at all costs, she's probably told uncle by now, he was the only one who actually knew for certain that she was CIA" says Lola
"how'd you know I was CIA" asks Dana
"as much as you do actually love Nicole you also used her as a cover, the big robber bust up in Alaska, it caught wind in the news the moment you left Alaska and besides it mentioned CIA involvement, the only person who had no business being IN Alaska during that time was you and Nicole and she's not exactly smart enough to figure that stuff out, oh and Tori knew first, she wouldn't have left if she didn't know Cat would be safe, why else would she accept your calls Dana, she's not stupid and values Cat's life over her own, Tori has literally zero other reason to have trusted you to make sure Cat stayed safe and that Robbie and Andre got their pay" says Lola
"I almost asked you out instead of Nicole, would you have gone out with me" asks Dana
"you'd have never trusted me alone with you at night, I'm surprised Tori let it go on as long as she did, I got to play with them in their sleep and Tori's a rather light sleeper, she knew what was going on, she also knew I'm an agent, there's a reason agent's aren't supposed to date, the problem is I knew Zoey was headed in the direction of loving Tori and Cat more than me, I purposely helped it along, hoping they'd stay together, as much as I'd rather be with them instead of Robbie being with them I know they're actually safer with Robbie in their lives" says Lola
"why" asks Jade as she knowingly walks in
"sneaky as always miss West, I'm not friends with you or your father, Robbie is, the ring leader won't touch them now that they're directly linked to someone with a rich family, if he does it would be a massive risk" says Lola
"Robbie isn't a friend per se, more like a failed boyfriend, my dad wanted us together because while he didn't believe my acting performances were that good he was of the opinion that I should be with someone who does think my acting is a good career move, had Ryder not terrified Tori to the bone by lifting her by her hair she'd have beat his tech theatre score of ninety-nine, I do happen to find his geekiness hot but I'm with Trina for a reason, while Robbie would be the more caring lover, Trina is the more imitative, I'll always take someone who is willing to play roles in bed over someone like Robbie, though he is definitely the more caring in bed" says Jade
"you know that last part how" asks Logan
"because yes Robbie did accidentally rape Cat, though it was a misunderstanding, she was running through her memories of Zoey, Lola and Tori in bed and completely forgot he was there and kept saying 'sex works', he thought that meant she was giving consent, he'd never had sex before, how would he have known, anyway the moment she freaked out and screamed rape he stopped, true rape is about power, if he had truly intended to rape her he'd have been excited about her being scared, also he wore a sleeve, the rapists I've read about go raw" says Jade
"ooh it would seem that incident is my fault then, in an attempt to stop her from losing her best memories, which almost always happened after climax, I'd attempted a sort of mid sleep hypnosis on her to permanently link those memories to Tori and Zoey, 'sex works' was my poorly chosen phrase, I'm an amateur at hypnosis, I didn't expect her to be able to say the phrase herself, anyway I have to go now, stupid media is here to check up on me, to make sure I don't want to kill myself again" says Lola
