October 3rd 9am
"uhh guys Cat's missing" says Ashley
"how is that possible" asks Robbie
"no idea, maybe Freddie can get into the security cameras and find out" says Ashley as they run up to Carly's apartment
"I already know Cat's missing, Jade's pissed that Beck would ever do such a thing, the cops know to look for her but they haven't found her yet, not even a trace" says Freddie
With Cat
"you're not going to hurt me are you Beck, you told me if I did as you said I wouldn't get hurt, where are we" asks Cat
"somewhere those out to get me won't find me, look I need to ask a favor" says Beck
"what choice do I have you kidnapped me Beck" says Cat
"I need a hundred grand to pay off debts or they'll kill me" says Beck
"my money is tied up in projects and stuff, I don't have a choice though do I" asks Cat
"I'm the one who doesn't have a choice Cat, if Jade still talked to me I'd have asked her for the money, if I don't get it soon I'm as good as dead" says Beck
"what did you bet on this time" asks Cat seriously
"leaked nudes of Tori, I mean it wasn't really a bet more of a deal to keep them off the internet, I had the money which is why I told them I could get them the money then my mom got cancer and I no longer had the money cause I had to give it to the hospital to pay for her treatment" says Beck
"return me to my house and I can guarantee you will get that money" says Cat
"how, Jade is going to kill me for kidnapping you" says Beck
"give me your phone and I'll take care of Jade" says Cat
"how" asks Beck
"because SHE took those photos of Ashley" says Cat
"no those were pictures of Tori, who's Ashley" says Beck
"Tori isn't just Tori, never was, She's three people, she has a personality disorder, Ashley is a trauma personality that is coping, Julia is Tori's absorbed twin, then there's scared to hell Tori, seriously just give me your phone, Jade didn't block you" says Cat as Beck does so
With Jade 30 minutes later
"ugh why is beck texting me, Robbie read the text, I can't, I'm too scared" says Jade handing her phone to Robbie
"well I can definitely tell it's from Cat by the way, it says 'took Beck's phone, call on Fred phone, can't risk trace', who's Fred" says Robbie
"probably Freddie, if I had to guess Beck got into some trouble and made a deal he couldn't uphold, I'm told it's a problem he's had, FREDDIE" says Tori as Freddie comes running over
"any news" asks Freddie
"ya Cat must be ok but she's worried about a traced call, can you hide the call from tracers" asks Tori
"obviously or she wouldn't have asked, give me a minute to generate a random number" says Freddie as he does so and calls Beck's number
"you there" asks Tori
"ok good, so here's the thing, Jade remember when you took those sexy pictures of Ashley and sent them to Tori's phone for Ashley to see" says Cat
"ya, she said they were safe" says Jade
"that's the problem the phone was hacked and Beck tried to buy them so they didn't show up on the internet, the problem was their price was a hundo grand and Beck had the money then his mom got cancer and as you know Jade that isn't cheap so he doesn't anymore, he'd have asked you but he says you hate him so he didn't have any other choice" says Cat
"ok so what do I need to do to get you back here" asks Jade
"wire transfer the money to the number I just sent you, I have to play dead so they'll take beck seriously and hand over all the copies of the pictures, I'll see you soon" says Cat as she hangs up
"you absolutely sure it wasn't traced Freddie" asks Tori
"I can't guarantee the feds didn't track it but it was beyond any frequency normal hackers could use, also the only tech inclined person to ever beat me was Nevel and that's only because he was determined to get in Carly's pants, the call audio was encrypted to Cat's security standards which is pretty high I set up her security camera system and even I couldn't get into it after she got a hold of it, she's more tech savvy than you would think" says Freddie
With Beck 2 hours later
"did you Kill Catarina Valentine, that's going to be a serious problem for you later" says Nevel Papperman noticing Cat's seemingly motionless body
"I didn't have a choice man, she wouldn't stop talking, anyway did you get the money" says Beck playing along
"I did, I assume you want everything for that price" asks Nevel
"please don't forget a single one dude we had a deal, I pay you and you give me everything you have on them, specifically Tori Vega but I want everything" says Beck as Nevel hands over several devices including a laptop
"that's everything I have, I hope it's of use to you" says Nevel as he bolts it
"thank God, now to take care of Cat's 'dead' body" muses Beck to himself
Back at home
"why isn't she breathing" asks Jade upset
"relax Jade, she's just slowed her breathing" says Beck as he puts Cat on the couch and pinches Cat's nose
"ow that hurt" says Cat opening her eyes
"how'd it go, who was the hacker" asks Tori
"who else Nevel Papperman" says Beck
"man who hasn't that freak hacked, back in uni he hacked half the medical sciences dorm, we'd gotten permission to turn half the dorm common room into a movie area and were saving up to do that, what he charged to keep the pictures off the internet killed that dream, one of a long list of downhill falls for me" says Carly
"that might change, the thing Cat's doing to home the homeless so they can get back on their feet, I've been hearing rumors they would prefer a doctor or nurse who had been wronged by the system" says Beck
"that can't possibly include me, I don't have my degree, I cut that program off by quitting at the hospital and they won't take me back" says Carly
"from the homeless young lady I was talking to as part of my betting rehab deal, she said they put you up as an example of a doctor they'd trust" says Beck
"Olivia has been negotiating with the local online university so you can prescribe medication to the homeless and study when you don't have appointments to attend to" says Cat
"that's not how that's supposed to work, a student can't legally prescribe medicine" says Carly
"the difference here is under the hospital you had already been doing that for Tori and Cat, the government is working on a permit application for you, you'd be required to confirm medication with an outside doctor to make sure that the medication won't interfere with anything else but it's you who will make the decisions on medication or treatment for the homeless you're assigned" says Jade
"is this you and your federal government connection again playing favourites" asks Carly
"far from it, they came to me asking if I new any fresh faces who would be willing to help with the medication side of state wide re-homing of homeless, I said that they could take Carly, give you schooling to finish your degree and make a difference for San-Francisco and LA areas, they openly agreed to my offer" says Jade
"how would I serve LA, I don't live anywhere close to them, San-Francisco is easily an hour away, the gas cost alone would ruin me" says Carly
"that's where my parent's new venture comes in, they're hopping on Cat's save the homeless project and would provide electric limo or car rides to and from doctor appointments for must visit needs, if you accept this offer you would be on state pay for your hours which means twenty or more an hour, also you will have what they call a Tele-presence device linked to the one in LA and it will require them to put in their apartment number and it will bring up their medical history on your computer" says Jade
"my apartment isn't exactly client viewing friendly, I don't want them to see it" says Carly
"oh don't worry about that, once you tell me you agree you get funding to renovate one of Cat's third floor apartments that she rents to friends as an office and you can pick two of the people in this room without jobs to work with you in that office for state pay as well" says Jade
"I'll do it, though I guess Freddie is off the table cause he has a job, what about Sam, also do I HAVE to wear a lab coat and be fully dressed for the patients" asks Carly
"Sam can be a choice but not directly in the room when you're talking about sensitive or medical information so not at all in the same room, as for being fully dressed I guess legally for the Tele-presence appointments you'd only have to be dressed fully from the waist up but I wouldn't form a habit of doing so you don't passively give people consent to ask about your butt, trust me the head of the department of health made me make sure you knew not to make a habit of that, apparently it's a question female doctors get often" says Jade
"ok, when does it start" asks Carly as Sam giggles
"November first is when the homeless move into their new spaces, the department hope you will be ready by the week after that" says Jade as Cat walks away to answer her phone
"is that enough time to get me back in the game legally" asks Carly as Cat finishes her call
"ok Olivia said if you accepted the homeless health medication position which is the one Jade's talking about then the university and government will let you practice and prescribe medication, the government will take twenty percent of your state pay per month to fund your education" says Cat
"how much am I making a month doing this, I mean I have things to replace, I need to know, I'm not being rude I swear" says Carly
"that depends on your hours, at eight hours a day, seven days a week and a full month of work without breaks it's about seven grand before the education deduction" says Freddie
"how do you know how much I'm making an hour, were you part of this Freddie" asks Carly
"no I wasn't part of this planning, I'd overhead May talking about her mom getting someone a medical job for thirty-two dollars an hour, I made some assumptions, besides you asked" says Freddie
"Carly you gotta love him for caring, besides he was mostly right, the rock bottom starting pay is thirty dollars an hour, the first month will be this building getting to know you and first perscrip, they get their cards tomorrow and can move in when they're done with the appointment with you, you can take it as fast or as slow as you want but it needs to be done" says Cat
"how am I supposed to evaluate people for medication or not, I haven't done any of that in months" asks Carly
"we're starting with girls of various ages first, from eighteen to thirty years old, most of them have been on medication before but being homeless couldn't get it, the first floor will be split between Men and women twenty of each, luckily the main floor has just enough apartments for two per apartment, trust me they will have all the documents you need" says Cat
"I'd like to see the teens and young adults first, trust is important at that age, especially since they've been homeless, this applies to the men as well" says Carly
"it will be done" says Cat
