GG: Gossip just in. Chuck Bass. The wonderer returns, Looking quite rough, Where have you been C? In the Ghetto? But it's not important where you've been it's what you did we want to know about...

At the Kingston Plaza in Queens.
Blair and Dan are making their way to Chuck's room in the elevator.

B: (breathing deeply)
D: Calm down
B: You calm down, I don't know what state I'm going to find him in
D: Look he's there, so he's alive
B: (gives him an unpleased look)

(Elevator gets to the 9th floor)

Dan and Blair step out of the elevator and walk towards Chuck's room.

D: Ready?
B: (nods then knocks on the door)

(There is no reply. Blair knocks again. No reply. Dan then pushes the door and it is open. Dan and Blair enter.)

B: Chuck?

(Blair and Dan walk around the corrner to see Chuck lying on the bed with his hands tied up and with duck tape on his mouth, and his face is covered in bruises.)

B: (shocked) Oh My God. Chuck (runs over to him and takes the tape of his mouth) Dan help me..
D: (shocked also) sure

Dan takes the duck tape off his hands)

B: Chuck? Whats going on?

B: She didn't tell me, I wouldn't be here, If Dan hadn't of told me
C: (sarcasm) well thanks
B: What happened to you? Why are you here?
C: (no reply)
B: Chuck, Answer me!! (grabs his chin and moves his face to face her)
C: (pushes Blair's hand off him) I told to get on with your life
B: How could I do that, Without knowing where you were, Knowing if you were safe. You've been missing for a month, I thought something awful had happened and now I know I was right
C: You shouldn't of come here Blair, I can take care of myself
B: Your incapable of taking care of yourself, You need someone

Blair stands up and walks to Dan.

B: Keep an eye on him

Blair exits.

C: Ugh your kidding right? You can post on Gossip Girl, get me back for kicking you out of my limo
D: As much as I would love to do that, I wont
C: Why should you do me any favours?
D: Because I owe Blair one
C: What do you owe Blair?
D: Lets just say, I did something I shouldn't of...But I'm sure I'll pay the price... Listen she's been really worried about you

C: Shall I give you a list...?
D: I not here to be your physciatrist but Blair really has missed you, You should of seen her, She nearly broke down my door to know where you were, She hasn't stopped for weeks, Serena says she hasn't done one piece of school work, she's been to busy worrying about you...

Chuck turns away from Dan.

(Down the corridor, Blair is at the ice machine which is hidden behind a wall, She can hear what is being said)

3 tough looking men step out of the elevator.
(Their names are; Jack, who is about 23 Travis(leader) who is about 25 and Ashton who is 20)

J: So how we gonna do this?
T: I'll tell you what we're not going to do, We're not going to in there knocking him about again
A: What? He was asking for it,
T: Well this time, We go in, tell him to pay what he owes, or...

(Blair looks surprised by what is said, but still listens in)

T: And if our Manhattan boy doesn't pay up
A: I can kick he arse... (grins and makes a punch with his hand and punches it into his other palm)
T: no, We'll take him to the boss
J: (laughs) Better hope he's got it then, or he's a dead man walking

GG: Well Chuck has well and truly put the ass in Bass, Taking on the downtown crew, Not the brightest idea you've had Chuck I'd take a second thought if I was you...

(Blair looks very shocked and confused by what they are saying, she then see's that they are knocking at Chuck's room)

In the room.

D: I'll get it...
C: No! Wait...

Chuck gets up and looks through the eye hole in the door,

C: (mumbles, then turns his back on the door)
D: What?
C: (wispers) shh, Shut Up.
D: (wispers and looks confused) What?
C: We've got to get out of here?

(Back at the ice machine)

Blair pops her head around the corrner and looks worried then moves back.

B: Damn you Chuck, What have you done now?

Blair then looks around for an idea on how to help Dan and Chuck, and she sees an old maid uniform.

B: (puts the uniform on over her clothes) Ewww!
T: (still knockin) Come on Chuck we know your there,
B: (Comes from around the corrner with a cleaning trolly) Hello? Can I help you?
A: (Looks at Blair) You sure can...
T: Shut up Ash, Yes we're looking for a friend
B: He's staying here?
T: How did you know it was a he?

A: You know your mighty fine...
B: Is that right?
A: Yeah, Maybe we could get together sometime...
B: I don't think so
T: (shouts) ASH!
A: Coming. Consider it... (He catches up with Jack and Travis)
J: What was that?
A: What?! I wanna peice of that ass

Blair waits for them to get into the elevator, then knocks on the door.

B: Dan! Chuck, It's me

Chuck opens the door.

D: What are you wearing?
B: If you tell anyone about this I'll kill you, (She removes the maid uniform) Now Charles, Would you like to explain to me what the hell! Is going on
C: Fine, But we've got to get out of here
B: We'll have to go home?
C: (looks unpleased) fine...Just lets go
D: What's going on?
B: Humphrey just move

Blair, Dan and Chuck run out of the room, Dan closes the door, and they run to the elevator,
The elevator is coming down.

C: That's them!
B: Quick stairs...
D: Wha...(looks very confused)

Dan, Blair and Chuck run to the stairs and run down.
The elevator gets to the 9th floor, Jack, Travis and Ashton get out looking very aggresive.

J: Ash's whore was lying
A: How was I to know...
T: Just bust the door

Ashton kicks the door down, they all enter and Travis picks up the unifrom.

T: That bitch was with him... (takes out his phone and calls a number)...He's gone (pause) Oh don't worry, the next we see Chuck Bass he's dead... (hangs up, and looks very angry).

GG: With Chuck gone into hiding, How are you doing Queen B? Has Chuck forgotten about you and about your "break", Or is this break becoming a break-up? You know you love me. xoxo Gossip Girl.
