Chuck and I stood at the bar waiting and watching. Gabriel was brought over to a table that was in our direct eyesight. He sat there nervously waiting on Serena. She arrived and sat down next to him
"Remind me again why I don't just knock him out and deliver him to our acquaintance on the force?" I sighed then took a sip of my cola
"Serena asked us too and you like her for the moment." He answered "You have your favourite bluff right?"
"I'm surprised you think I can pull the same trick twice. You must have a lot of faith in me." I reply. He takes my hand and kisses it.
"Always, sister." Serena looks back at us and we made our way over.
"Why act like you care about me.?" I sit down on the other side of Gabriel and took the lighter gun out
"Now, now, easy does it. Wouldn't want to scare my little friend now." I press the 'gun' towards his knee, He tensed up. "Humm, I bet you wish you'd left the Seder now, hadn't you?"
"You're not leaving my hotel until you repay your investors. It's your choice, either you hand over the money or my sister hands you over to the FEDs, that is after she has her fun with you." Chuck threatens and a gave a slight menacing giggle, I played crazy bitch very well.
"You have to believe me. I would if I could. But I don't have the money. Poppy Lifton does." he admitted I retracted the fake weapon and sat back in my seat.
"Start talking." I say
"The original target was going to be you." he told me "She figured it out that you set her up after the fashion show, we had been running schemes together. But she did her research on you, recalled conversations she had with Serena, as much as she wanted to get you, she couldn't risk it."
"Risk it?"
"You have people on your payroll, both of you have we found a few but we didn't know how high it went up especially with what you did to her. Anyway Poppy's got the rich friends who invite her to parties. Designers who give her clothes to wear. Ex's who've given her some awfully nice presents"
"In other words she's a faux-cialite." Chuck simplified it. My phone rang I looked at it, it was Dan.
"Excuse me. Behave." i warn Gabriel and slip the fake gun away. I go up to answer the call.
"Dan, now is not a good time. I'm in the middle of something."
"I know, but something wrong, I can't explain it over the phone, can you meet me at the brownstone you were hiding out at?" I sigh
"Okay I'll be there as soon as I can." I hang up and go back over
"I need to go, a different emergency." I told them grabbing my bag. "I will call you when I'm free." I kiss my brothers cheek and leave
"Rosie where are you going?!" Blair calls as I run past them
"Sorry!" I hail a taxi and leave. and hour later I pull up outside the brownstone and Dan is waiting outside. I pay the drive and get out.
"What's going on? Is it Jenny, why did you want to meet me here?" he sighs
"It's down in the basement."
"What's down in the basement. Dan, you're worrying me." he encourages me to use the outside entrance and I head in and look around
"There's nothing here!" there was a slam and my head snaps round I run back to the door and Dan is looking at me through the window.
"Dan, what are you doing?!" I try to open the door
"Protecting you, what's going on is bigger than what you can handle." he tells me then hold up my phone. How the hell did he get that.
"Daniel!"
"You have food, water and books. And you will stay here so you don't get hurt or caught up in anything you shouldn't. When this has been sorted I will let you back out." He calls to me "I love you." he says and head back up the steps
"Daniel!"
