(WARNINGS: transphobia and bad parenting!!)

After Cabby was released from Testtube lab, they both went back to Hotel OJ. She felt so uneasy. How could TESTTUBE out of all people, be the one behind this? She could've saved them in time only if the signals weren't THAT poor. After the got back to Hotel OJ. OJ and Tori ran up to her. Testtube walked past and went to her room.

" Cabby who-"

" You know its dangerous out there babe! 6 people are MISSING at the moment! And YET you decided to go alone in the FREEZING COLD?!" Tori scolded her, clearly very worried and mad.

" Ahem. Cabby who is the mystery person?" OJ asked. Cabby looked away and sighed.

" OJ, I don't know honestly. I could've sworn I- I saw someone but I blacked out.." she lied. She was shaking at the moment, it was just so cold out there.

" Theres something that you aren't telling us, Babe." Tori raised an eyebrow.

" W-what do you mean by that?" Cabby stuttered. She was sweating a bit.

" I know when you lie or when you have a secret. We've been together for 5 years Babe! Ya thought I wouldn't read through both of you?" Tori stepped forward making Cabby back off a lil

" I think I'm just cold maybe thats why. I'll see you both later." Cabby sighed and shivered at the same time. She then got to the elevator to go back to her and Tori's room. After the short elevator ride, she went into their room shuts the door and plopped onto the bed. She ddin't bother changing her clothes. She strted to overthink of what's gonna happen if she did tell anyone. Oh god, Taco will be tortured more because of her! Or worse she could die! But if she didn't snitch on Testtube then she will continue what she's doing to the subjects and make their life even worse! Cabby couldn't even sleep at the moment. She stared at the ceiling for hours, not until the sun started to come up. Usually she gets up and watch the sunrise but she wasn't feeling it today. Or tomorrow, or never. This is so stressful for her, if she chose to be her assistant, who knows what comming! Tears started to build up and she turned around, her back facing the entrance of the door and front facing Tori's messy bed. 'Why hasn't she come into the room yet? Is she THAT mad at me? I should apologize later..' She thought as one tear fell down onto the pillow.

' Lord, what have I gotten myself into?'

..

Fan was humming 'HOT TO GO!' By Chappell Roan as he was busy doing nothing in his room. His mind started to wonder, ' why has he not tried to help them get out once?' Cause he knows how to escape this, despite being her assistant and she lets him go out. Plus, testtube is just toying with him. All she wants from him is just his 'help'. Plus... no. No Fan. You can't betray her like that. Even thought she IS doing something bad.

" Fan open up the door. NOW." A british voice called out. Fan got up and opened the door to see Taco...

" Can you please help us escape?"

" Wh- I- I can't T- 0270..." taco sighed at the answer and looked away.

" Wait- h-how did you get out.?"

" Bobby pins."

" Alright.... but shouldn't you go back before Testtube comes back?"

" Maybe, if you'll help us escape. I HAVE the code. I know deep down you're willing to help us escape this.... place." Taco grabbed a small note with the code... did she write it down.? Fan looked away and hesitated.

" .... Fine. Let's just hope that Testy doesn't come back til tomorrow." He sighed " Let's get the rest out." Taco nodded and Fan went into the subjects room, woke them up and got them out while Taco went to suitcase.
