B: (dries her face with a towel then throws it away) I didn't go downtown (Exits the bathroom, Chuck followers her)
C: You did. Damn it Blair I told you not to get involved.
B: I'm already involved Chuck... Don't you remember how we...Put things on hold

Blair grins.

C: What happened?

C: Travis?
B: Yeah, He was there and...
C: Wait how did you know where to find him?

Blair feels guilty and takes Chuck's cell phone out of her pocket and hands it to Chuck.

C: You stole my cell?
B: (looks down) Sorry...
C: I forgive you...So..?
B: So umm, I told him I had the money, but I didn't, I thought I could scare him off...
C: scare him off? Blair this isn't a wannabe at Constance...
B: You think I dont know that?
C: So that's it?
B: No...When I told I didn't have it...He...He pulled out a knife on me
C: (angry) What?!
B: Calm down, I'm okay
C: Okay!? Blair your shaking...
B: I'm fine (Chuck picks up his coat and goes towards the door) Where are you going?
C: No one messes with Blair Waldorf and gets away with it

Chuck exits.


GG: Oh deary me! Chuck is gone again, maybe going to confront the enemy him self? Dont worry C, That's what BFF's are for!

At The Van der Woodsen Apartment.

Nate and Serena enter.
Lily is already in the apartment.

L: So what is this about?
S: Well...
N: Chuck!
L: Ahh, Charles, Right.
N: He's in trouble
L: Well what kind of trouble?
S: The most trouble he's ever been in, Mom.
L: Okay now I'm worried, What's wrong?
S: (silence)
N: Serena...
S: Chuck's got money issues
L: Charles? This can't be true...
N: Oh believe me it gets worse

Lily gives them both a confused look.

S: Okay, Chuck owes these gangsters money, because when he was away, He needed money, and they wouldn't let him have any because he's under age... So he had to borrow...
L: Oh no... If Bart taught Charles anything it was never borrow...And from? Gangsters?
S: Yes... But he made us promise not to say..but...
N: But I convinced her, It was the right thing.
L: And good you did Nathaniel, You weren't going to tell me about this?
S: Well...I have to value my friendships
L: How much does he owe?

Nate and Serena look at eachother.

(The conversation continues unheard)

At the Liquid Club in Downtown.

Travis, Ashton and Jack are sitting in a booth.
Chuck enters looking very angry and looks around for them.

A: Hey...Look who's here

Travis turns around and stands up.

T: Bass! So glad you could join us...

Chuck grabs him and pushes him against the wall.
Ashton and Jack stand up quickly and are about to grab Chuck.

T: No boys, It's okay. Bass is just a little...rattled
C: (breathing deeply)
T: Sit down guys

Ashton and Jack go back to the booth.

T: Are you going to let me go?
C: Not until you tell me you'll back off Blair
T: Blair? Which one was she? Just all those women you had last month. I can hardly tell...

Chuck lets him go.

C: Blair, Is the one you threatened, last night
T: (laughs)
C: What's so funny?
T: Well beautiful, clever girl like that? Why would she get involved with you?
C: (pause) Just back off her
T: Or what? Ash over there's taken a shine to her...Maybe we can get them two together
C: I'm saying this one last time, Stay the hell away from her

Chuck walks towards the door.

T: I'll stay away, But you know whores Chuck, They can't go long without...(grins)

Chuck turns around and punches Travis.
Travis falls to the floor and has blood running from his nose.

T: Get him in the back room

Jack and Ashton grab Chuck and take him into the back room and they push him in, and he falls to the floor.
Travis enters.
Ashton and Jack stand by the door.

T: You see Chuck, You owe us money,

Travis punches him.

T: and I gave you 24 hours and your down to 10,

Travis punches him again.

T: But I'm not worried about that, I'm going to give you what I should of given that bitch last night.

Travis punches him yet again.

C: (covered in blood) Do it then, Because I would take a thousand beatings for her
T: (sarcasm) Ohhhhhhhhhh, How sweet. If only she was here to see what Chuck Bass is going through for her (punches him again)

Chuck lays on the floor barely consious

T: 10 Hours, Cash. Or I might just go find that girl of yours and this time I wont be so kind...I think, I'm done. Ash, Finish it...

Travis exits.

A: With pleasure...

(Outside the room)

Travis looks pleased as he can only hear Chuck's pain as Jack and Ashton beat him up.
While at the same time, In Chuck's suite Blair is sitting around the hotel suite nearly in tears holding onto the bracelet that Chuck gave her.
