Author's Note: Hey, guys! So, this is another Back To The Lounge segment and I just need to clear something up really quickly. In this segment, Zach makes a comment about Lana that is very rude and could be offend some people. If you don't want to be offended, please skip this chapter. Just thought I should say that, let's get on with the chapter!

Your Author, Marbella. <3

Valentina's POV: 

Lana and Lizzie had left to reveal the name of the Un-named Bandit.

Gear lifted his head and looked crushed.

We were all left awe-struck about the situation; neither of them deserved to go into the challenge, yet it somehow happened.

"OK, I'm just going to 'fess up." Lia sighed, looking quite calm.

"I'm the one who voted for Lizzie; I felt she wasn't trying as hard as we were and that she was relying on her kindness. Sorry, guys."

We were in shock. We understood Lia was coming from, but we were still trying to process it.

I spoke up to clear the tension.

"Well, we see where you're coming from, but we didn't expect it..." I quaked, hoping Zach didn't blow up on our faces again.

"Oh great, here we go; you're trying to save the decent people. And don't even get me started on Lana!" Zach snarled, getting pissed again.

"Bitch, that's Gear's girlfriend! I bet you put her name in that deck!" Veronica screamed, standing up and pointing at Zach.

"Roni, please calm down..." Vanessa whispered, causing Veronica to sit back down and calm down her sister.

"Oh yeah, and to answer your question, I voted for Lana," Zach stated.

"Called it," I said, raising my hand.

"You really voted for my girlfriend for die? You're really dropping that low? Gear growled. I could tell Vanessa was getting increasingly worried.

"Gear, maybe don't fight him..." she whimpered.

"She's one of the most helpful people we've had so far and you want her dead?! What were you thinking?" Oli shouted, trying to calm the situation down.

"She's one of the most well-rounded people here, along with Oli and Val, and you want her dead? That's just stupid!" Gear yelled, getting frustrated.

I could tell that Zach was about to lose it.

And he did just that.

"AND THAT'S COMING FROM THE GUY WHO'S DATING A RUSSIAN HOOKER!" Zach thundered, standing up and pointing at Gear.

The entire room went quiet for a few seconds, Zach's words stunning us like a stun-gun.

Vanessa: '*Cue long, foreshadowing silence, whist Vanessa sits there in shock.* Did he just call Lana a Russian hooker?'

"H... hold up," I stuttered, very terrified, confused, and mad all at once.

"Did you just call Lana a Russian hooker?"

"Yeah," Zach scoffed, not caring. "Is there a problem with that?"

"There's...." Oli faltered, a look of surprise on his face as he pondered his next words. 

"Multiple problems with that, one of which being you just insulted Gear's girlfriend, but I'm just going to leave it at that."

"Yeah, please do." Gear trembled, pissed off, and run down from the situation.

We just sat there for the rest of the time, afraid to speak up in case the situation got worse.

Soon, we heard footsteps.

I didn't know who it was at this point.

The door to the lounge opened, and we all held our breath...
