C: Blair, Have you lost your mind?
B: What? They can't find you here
C: This Hotel practically shouts out 'Bass'
B: Look, Even if they do know this is your hotel, They're hardly going to go around the whole hotel knocking every door down
C: You don't know what they'd do
B: It's either this or nothing, Go back to Queens, I'm sure the gang has plenty of room for you

Blair smiles, then walks into the hotel, Chuck followers her.

B: Why don't you get some sleep
C: MmmHmm

Blair looks on as Chuck falls asleep.

B: Hello...
T: Bass?
B: No, It's a friend...Look I've got what you want...
T: The cash...
B: Yes
T: Good, Here's where to go...

(Travis gives Blair the address of where to go, so that she can hand over the money)

(An hour later)
Somewhere downtown, In a dark ally.

Travis is smoking and standing back to the wall.
Blair walks down the ally.

T: (recognizes Blair) You?
B: (looks down) Look...Chuck doesn't need this...He's been through enough his father died.
T: Your the girl from the hotel...The cleaner was it?
B: (silence)
T: Where's the money?

T: Do you know who I am?! You cross me, and I wont be held responsable for my actions
B: Try it...
T: Your not scared of me are you?
B: Why would I be scared of you?

Travis pulls out a hand knife and points it at Blair.

T: Because you should be princess

T: Tell Chuck, His little 'girlfriend' just lost him 48 hours. $50,000. 24 Hours. Give Chuck the message. Got it!

Blair nods.

T: Good girl

Travis kisses Blair on the cheek then walks away.
Blair starts breating heavely and looks very scared, then runs off.


GG: We've heard Blair Waldorf had a run in with Chuck's little 'friends', well hardly little. It must of shaken you up B, But at least you held your own, protected your man. So how long will Chuck have to keep hiding before he can show his handsome face again, Your guess is as good as mine. You know you love me. xoxo Gossip Girl
