Tori sighed.

"Well...uh...you see..."

"Spit it out already."

"Are you sure you want to know about this?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

Tori sighed once more.

"Long story or short?"

"The full truth and nothing but the truth."

"Of course you do..."

Tori straightened up.

"When I left, I met up with some people. Those people apparently were part of an army of sorts. I joined and, well, I became their leader not too long ago."

Ell nodded.

"Continue."

"Ugh, really?"

"If bloody Interpol is after us, then yes!"

Tori grumbled.

"That's pretty much it. I became their leader and I was labeled as a criminal after I...uh..."

"Well?"

"..."

"C'mon."

"I might, MIGHT...have blown up an American embassy."

"Might?"

Tori looked upwards.

"No, I definitely destroyed it." She said with a mixture of guilt and happiness.

Ell stood speechless.

"And that's why I wanted to leave you guys. If I had left you back in London as intended, you wouldn't be in this mess."

Ell nodded.

"...so you lied..."

"Hey, that was technically a white lie!"

"But with good intention."

"Yes."

Ell pondered.

"I'll let it slide..."

"Oh. Well, O-"

"But promise me you won't withhold anything else."

"Fine." Tori said, rolling her eyes.

"Ahem."

The three turned to face Marko.

"So, should we go back now?"

"Sure." Matilda said. "Besides, I think I got everything I need."

Marko looked down and saw the countless bags she was effortlessly carrying.

"Do you...need help with those?"
