"god I miss Tori, why did she have to leave so suddenly" cries Cat
"she had to do this cutie, you know that as well as I do, I'm just surprised my sis was able to convince her, Meghan isn't by any means the most convincing person, if anything she's so laid back I don't think mom and dad even believed her at first when she came out as a lesbian to them, it took her making out with Naomi in view of them to convince them, but maybe Naomi is helping her, they are more inseparable than ever with Ayame to raise, I swear I haven't seen anyone make them happy like Ayame, she's the most adorable little girl, Tori will return you need to realize that" says Robbie
"and you have to realize what that director did was tear her down, you saw yourself she's nowhere near as composed as she appears to be around everyone else, if a doctor sees that they can decide to put her in an institution, you have no IDEA" says Cat getting upset as Kriss walks in
"what's Cat fussing about now, every day it's something" says Kriss
"Tori as per usual" says Miley
"oh the psychologist just called, he admits she does qualify for an institution but he's making the judgment call that being away from you guys would only hurt her more" says Kriss
"what about the memory thing she went in for, how's that going" asks Lilly
"see that's where things get tricky, he can trigger her PTSD with images, her body is recovering slowly from the head damage, she seems to have found a way to negate the freak-outs that are in her file as part of the PTSD, she twitches and bites her tongue but doesn't actually freak out, the doctor believes her brain is rewiring itself and the mismatch of names to faces will go away with time, as of right now the mismatch is with Trina and their parents not any of you, right now she's under the assumption she's adopted by David, it's a shame she doesn't realize Holly left David after Tori graduated" says Kriss
"how's Jessica doing, she used to babysit me when I was thirteen to make sure I didn't set the house on fire" says Jade
"a lot better after the med adjustment you thought might help, don't get me wrong she still has her moments of craziness but a lot better, her therapist came to see her yesterday after a week on the new med and her jaw dropped at the change, she said it was like night and day, she wants to know how you figured it out" says Kriss
"I was institutionalized between grade eleven and twelve, I am fringe Bipolar, I am neither atypical nor Bipolar yet I have some aspects of being Bipolar and PTSD and what the therapist called superior neglect disorder, anyway I saw one of my fellow patients react similar to the same meds Jessica was on, I was friends with that patient so I asked why they changed her meds, they said it was something they were trying to reduce stress in some patients, they asked me why I was interested and I told them my patient friend suddenly seemed way better, they were ecstatic to hear that, last I heard my friend was reunited with her boyfriend last month" says Jade
"Francesca Holten by any chance, she was one of the first to receive that med at the LA psychiatric facility" says Kriss
"ya how do you know her name" asks Jade
"her boyfriend is my friend, we haven't spoken in years because I sent Francesca to that facility out of fear for him, she had very bad violence spurts, kinda like Jessica has actually, at the time he was mad because I took control out of his hands, he'd tell me he can handle it, then she sent him to the hospital with a knife wound to the hand, and that night I whisked her away to the LA facility, she actually begged me to do it, said she can't bear hurting him anymore, yesterday he called me apologizing and thanking me for doing the work to bring her back to him. He hated medicine, she wanted to be a doctor, quite an odd pair honestly but you can't help who you love, he said he promised to love her for who she is, meds and all" says Kriss as Jessica walks in
"awww little lighter lover girl, can't say I didn't see this happening, I warned your parents and everything" says Jessica
"what do you mean you saw this coming, me dating multiple girls and one guy, you saw that coming" asks Jade
"ya, it's a byproduct of them distancing themselves from you, you NEED that attention, it doesn't make your actions any less valid, what I didn't see coming was my brother going and raping seven girls and harming several more, Quintin and I were so close, what's worse is he refuses to feel remorse for it, I taught him to respect girls, I never ever expected him to break like that, but I guess I never knew him, I'm having a hard time believing that he actually wanted to do that to all those girls, I refuse to believe he is really that far gone" says Jessica
"you can't fix him Jessica, some people are just born creeps, wired for evil from the jump, you need to accept that you can't fix him, if he is to realize what he did to those girls was bad both physically and mentally he needs to realize it himself, just like how I can't fix Mikey" says Jade
"when does Tori come back, I miss her jokes" cries Cat
"soon cat, you have to trust the doctors know what they're doing, just know she won't be herself for a bit, she's gonna be doped up on meds, oh and she cut her hair in a fit of rage" says Kriss
"but she's not an angry person Kriss" says Cat scared
"when she's deprived of your girls touch clearly she can be, she broke a door and several nurses knees trying to get out of the facility, she was screaming about how she needs her girls touch" says Kriss as Trina walks in
"they're almost here Kriss, they said they can't risk their nurses safety keeping her there, I've never heard Tori stutter so much, scratch that, the time she came home from an institution when she was six was the last time I heard her this down in the dumps, we have to go meet them at the front door" says Trina as Kriss Nods
5 minutes later as Tori arrives home
"I-I f-f-failed-d" stutters Tori as Cat hugs her and she melts into her arms
"you didn't fail baby, it's not your fault" says Cat as Tori perks up a bit at the "baby"
"ok not even the best doctors at the facility could do that, Catarina sure has the swing on Tori huh" says Dean the guard
"how's my brother Dean, it's not so much a swing as it is the caring in my voice" says Cat
"unstable as usual, he's not an easy patient to deal with, the only time he's even calm is when we give him time to listen to the video mail you send monthly, he plays it daily, there just seems to be something about your voice that calms him right down, it's also the only time he takes his meds" says Dean
"hey I'm a good sister, don't ever imply he wanted me that way" says Cat offended
"I wasn't implying that at all Catarina, I personally think he just misses your voice, that high pitched HI really calms him down, he hasn't stopped playing the video of you singing a lullaby since you sent it last night" says Dean
"you like him don't you" asks Cat as she sits on the floor Tori's head resting in her lap
"I can't deny I do ya, he's just so interesting, I'm just afraid he'd attack me, there's also the rule about employees and patients dating" says Dean
"trust me Michael may be crazy but he's not nuts, don't interrupt his meals and don't push him, you do either and he'll eat your bracelet, I think he's schizophrenic or severely Bipolar, oh and whatever you do DO not bring him here, he hates Jade" says Cat stroking Tori's hair
"he got along with Tori actually, which surprised me as he doesn't get along with anyone, specifically females" says Dean
"as far as he knows it's just me and Tori, DO NOT tell him otherwise, he's shipped her and I for years, even before she started at Hollywood arts, also try walking to him without your tazer or baton, trust me he'll talk your ears off, he doesn't trust cops or clowns, you show up with a tazer and he knows you're here as an authority figure, if he sees you talk to other patients but not him in his eyes he can't trust you to believe him, you want him to trust you and behave hand him your tazer and say the words "I'm trusting you babe", it's just him being him" says Cat
"what's with the babe thing" asks Dean
"it's what Tori always called him, Babe Ruth, it's probably a trigger or something, I never understood why" says Cat as Tori opens her eyes
"I telled Babes Ruthy love was a comin, he asked is deany the lovey and I noddedy" says Tori still a bit loopy
"how'd she know I'm gay" asks Dean offended
"yousy eyes sparkled at babeys Ruthy, he's waitingy fory youey" says Tori
"what's with the y's being used by Tori, I've never seen her like this" asks Jade concerned
"headache meds interacted with her meds, it'll wear off soon" says Dean
"anyway you should be heading back Dean, I'll keep the hospital on tap about her progress" says Kriss
"indeed you will, I heard you were named the best FBI agent on the west coast" says Dean as he leaves
"mena kisa" asks Tori
"what did she ask" asks Cat
"she wants to kiss IT" says Kriss
"oh good I thought I was hearing wrong, why is she speaking gruninisa" asks Cat
"she suffered a head injury or two defending your brother, that's all the hospital would tell me" says Kriss
"I heard the group trying to kill Cat was caught" says Miley changing the subject
"ya it's not easy work, I've helped the local cops solve two drug rings, a trafficking ring and the vendetta against Cat, all I know is the FBI is paying me extra to help solve local cases before they become federal cases" says Kriss
"how did you do that over two weeks" asks Lilly shocked
"would you believe all through traffic stops, school bus with a light out and a noisy muffler was traffickers, two cars with flat tires, drug ring, dude running a red, part of the plot against Cat, I stop the vehicles and call in the locals, while the driver of the bus was arguing with me they got the children out, the drugs was my deal as it crossed state lines, and the guys trying to kill Cat, apparently they all have warrants for their arrest for deadly hit and runs in San Diego, apparently Cat was a pesky girl who needed to be dealt with so they all teamed up" says Kriss
"what luck huh" says Tori less loopy now
"nah it was weeks of dead ends on the local end, it wasn't until I checked the federal database that things finally came together, most cops think most things are local beefs, that's not always the case apparently, to most of my FBI peeps I'm still green but they can't deny I'm hard headed and willful, if I make a promise I damn well keep it, ain't nobody making it within ten feet of me with a bribe and walking free" says Kriss as Tori wrestles Cat into a cuddle
