the most unlikely of places...

"where are we?" Jacy murmured. she and Gigi had awoken crammed in a small dark space together.

"I don't know but I have to PEE." Gigi complained.

they began kicking at the walls.

there had to be a door somewhere.

finally they kicked a side wall and it creaked open.

they crawled out to find they were in the bathroom cabinet of the hotel room they had been staying in.

"well I didn't expect THIS." Jacy said as she helped Gigi up. Gigi ran over to the toilet and sat down gratefully, pee streaming loudly into the bowl.

"ahhh" Gigi sighed as her strained bladder relaxed.

Jacy called the front desk and asked about Mandy.

when they told her she had left and that the police were looking for them Jacy explained the situation.

Jacy then called Mandy.

"oh my god JACY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! have you seen Gigi?"

"yeah she's with me." Jacy told her.

"ok I'll have someone pick you up." Mandy told them.

Jacy and Gigi waited in the lobby until Sonya Deville arrived.

"hey thanks Sonya." Jacy said as she climbed into the passenger seat and Gigi got in the back behind her.

Sonya drove them back to the arena.

"don't worry about it. the alliance may be over but I'm not above helping you out in times like this."

Sonya then went on to explain that Paige and Mandy had fought and broken off the alliance of Toxic absolution.

they returned to the arena to find out that Mandy had been beaten.

"I'm ok." Mandy told them.

"I cracked a rib and strained a ligament in my shoulder, I should be ok after some time off."

Jacy gave her a gentle hug.

they then related what had happened to them to Mandy.

"BECKY." Mandy said sourly. "it HAD to be."

"it was. I recognized her voice." Jacy confirmed.

Mandy looked at her friends.

"then we need to beat her at her own game." Mandy said darkly.
