"man Cat enjoys those cuffs" notes Miley
"it's a sensory thing, like how she insists you hold her hand when you go for walks or how she feels she must cuddle with us at every point she gets" says Tori
"so she's autistic like Hannah or Isabelle" asks Miley
"don't you dare label me" scowls Cat
"she is Miley, at the very least on the fringe, her doctor confirmed it, it's just she's made fun of a lot as it is and she doesn't want to give people another reason to make fun of her, Bipolar, ADHD, she doesn't want to make it publicly known she's autistic as well" says Tori
"I'm not against you cat, stop making me feel like you hate me, I proposed remember kitty" says Miley
"how's Bianca and Melody, they're not around us much" asks Cat hugging Miley
"they're doing fine, Little Jadelyn is where they have decided to focus their time and attention, Melody is paying for their food and Bianca is making the food, quite self reliant actually, just as Bianca's parents raised her" says Jade
"doesn't Bianca know we could help her" asks Lilly
"trust me if she needed help she'd ask, last week she needed help breastfeeding Jadelyn because she was being fiesty as most West babies tend to be at that age so I helped calm my mini me down, dang girl paid me fifty dollars too, even after I insisted I don't need the money" says Jade
"imagine being their age and having a baby and all that money, I'd make sure anyone who helped me would be paid fairly too, four million dollars will last them well into their twenties, it can't be easy being a new teen and having a nearly one year old daughter" says Cat
"you think they're naughty like Hannah and Isabelle" asks Tori
"to some degree yes but not likely near as much as Hannah and Isabelle, they are playful but not to the same degree as Hannah and Isabelle, Bianca has never been the showy type, Bianca has always been reserved and responsible, hell I remember when she was seven she caught her mom spoiling her own dinner with treats, she told her mom and I quote 'mom you can't do that, or if you can then I can', Bianca has always strived to be honest and kept her parents honest" says Jade
"kinda like you baby" says Lilly
"ya I guess in a way, to be honest I've always seen her more as a daughter, call me a hypocrite for claiming to be gay and having a need to have kids" says Jade
"never, we all want kids Jade, anyway Allison and Caitlin are coming over" says Tori
"the gay teen lovers ya what about them" asks Jade
"if you remember they're two of the teen abuse victims from the Hollywood documentary series we're doing, their parents are trying to force them into conversion therapy, stole their court money and they're looking for a place to hide" says Tori
"legally their parents have no claim to their money and they could sue their parents for theft" says Jade flaring her nostrils
"I'm sensing a plan" says Cat smirking
"under FBI regulations any theft of child abuse repayment money or whatever its called the FBI can seize property to ensure the money is returned, also forced conversion therapy against victims is illegal, the FBI found that they didn't require therapy, I'll contact Kriss and have their parents investigated, meanwhile they are to be treated with respect and compassion, also Jessica is being released, more specifically into Krista's care, the facility Jessica is in said it's not safe to keep Jessica alone in Kriss's home while she's off at work in the FBI, so the mutual agreement was Krista would take care of Jessica while Kriss is at work and Kriss would spend her time here and sell her house" says Jade
"just what I need, more people, the girls are one thing but Kriss is older than us" says Tori
"hey the FBI agreed to pay a two grand a month lodging fee, as far as they're concerned you're doing God's work helping those abuse and rape victims, they tried to get an agreement to pay your mortgage, hydro and water but I told them you had those costs covered so this was the best they could do" says Jade
"didn't you say you knew the Harry family" asks Miley
"indeed I do, Jessica was my on and off babysitter for like three years, she's only twenty-three, it may seem odd given the age gap but as Cat will confirm I wasn't always a stable teen, I required supervision, from age ten to thirteen I was obsessed with fire, burned right through my parents power outage candle supply, my mom was worried that I'd set the house on fire, my dad just wanted to make sure I didn't break anything, Jessica is a really nice young lady, I stole my goth look from her, I can't wait to see her again" says Jade
"her and Krista have a past don't they" asks Tori as Jade texts Kriss
"on and off love/hate relationship from what twelve year old me could see, they loved each other, something bad put them at odds for years, my guess would be Jessica's rape that led her to go nearly insane caused the rift" says Jade as Caitlin and Allison arrive
"are we going to be safe here Miss Vega" asks Caitlin as Allison stays silent
"perfectly safe, Jade already called the FBI on your behalf girls, welcome to your home away from home, until you girls get your money back all clothes are paid for as is any food you desire, also my name is Victoria Vega, once you get your money back you can decide to either stay here of find somewhere else to live, I have gained many allies here in Malibu who would be more than willing to help you" says Tori
"how are you so certain we'd even win a case" asks Allison as Jade gets a text back
"because your parents signed away parental rights on the money thing, all four agreed not to take advantage of the new money, if any of them used your girls money to pay for things, legally my friend in the FBI has assured me that because they signed a legal contract stating they weren't going to touch your girls money that anything they buy you girls will legally own" says Jade
"you can guarantee that" asks Caitlin
"indeed I can, Hollywood made damn sure the FBI was involved in any transaction of money, either through the courts or through this documentary series, they wanted to make sure every victim got their fair share of money and that there were no legal loopholes for people to steal the money away, trust me you will get it back" says Jade
"we kinda like it here, how's Hannah doing" says Caitlin
"how do you know her" asks Molly as she walks over overhearing the question
"we were penpals, the stories she'd tell, God she could be a best selling author, we'd never met in person before though, we went to the same school is all I know, it was a kindergarten to grade twelve deal, split into two buildings on the same property" says Caitlin
"puppybala" asks Molly
"ya that was what I went by, we were instructed not to give our names but she did anyway that's the only reason I knew her name or what happened to her, she has the absolutely the most beautiful handwriting" says Caitlin
"ok wow I never knew she wrote anything, she always had me write the address to thing on the envelope before she headed off to school, I always assumed she was sending art" says Molly
"she definitely sent art as well but most of it was asking how would she know if she's in love and things like that, I sent back asking if she was in love with me and asked two questions one answering if the answer to the question was yes and one if the answer was no, here are some of the framed letters she sent me" says Caitlin opening her bag and handing Molly a few frames as Hannah comes running towards her
"pupababa" squeals Hannah as she hugs Caitlin
"ok wow she doesn't hug many people, also just a heads up she speaks Gruninisa, Spanish or Swedish" says Molly shocked
"what did she call me" asks Caitlin curiously
"she called you a beautiful queen" says Molly
"how'd she know what I looked like" asks Caitlin
"I'd assume she'd seen you before or you tutored her on a subject or something and she saw your writing and connected the dots, she's a lot smarter than most people give her credit for, she can't speak English but is very fluent in Spanish or Swedish, our family has Spanish and Swedish roots, though I was never taught the language like she was, though you can learn something and not understand it, I guess people take her muteness for granted" says Molly
"I did tutor her in math but only because the school asked me to, my writing is normally sloppy but when I do the pen pal thing I take my time to make things cute, once I learned she wasn't grasping how the teacher was teaching the math I let the teacher know what does work and suddenly her grades went from failing to top of the class, in fact it was such a change the teacher called the principal in to administer a math test in a secluded room with no paintings or drawings, later I found out she got an award from the mayor" says Caitlin
"ya about that award, we had a pipe burst in our house and it didn't make it, got crushed, she misses it so much, it was one of the few things she kept as prized possessions, she does not keep any of her own art, always selling or giving it away, she's had to start over because all her special objects were damaged beyond repair" says Molly as Caitlin picks up Hannah
"I can't imagine the fear she has to deal with, no special jammies or panties, also Ally is in a wheelchair because her dad hit her, she's paralyzed from knee down, maybe waist down, we could only afford a quick test, neither of our parents had insurance and the only time I could squeeze any money from her parents is when my dad made them put forth the money from her court money account because my parents are greedy but they're anti violence, they believe words before beatings" says Caitlin setting Hannah on Allison's lap
"you know she's adorable beyond compare right, she totally has Tori's cheekbones, despite not being a Vega" says Allison as Robbie walks in
"I got your stuff girls, I managed to get them to release your personal property, your money is another story though" says Robbie
"our laptops and clothes, Robbie you didn't have to do that" says Caitlin
"yes I did, my sister much to my families dismay is dating Allison's twin sister, Meghan begged me to help, it's in a truck that's being escorted by the police thanks to David Vega taking the lead with the FBI fraud unit on your girls case against your parents" says Robbie as Cat licks her lips
"you wanna stay the night Rob, us girls are looking for a guy to watch a movie with" states Cat
"what kind of movie we talking" asks Robbie
"the romantic kind, also us girls are looking for a certain type of romance and looking for someone who will respect us when we sleep naked" says Cat
"Miley and Lilly too" asks Robbie
"yes, sinjin specifically recommended you for reasons and honestly we're all interested, you pass the test you get free access with on occasion consent" says Cat
