ONE:

School wasn’t then same since Mike’s arrest. Kat still held Tory responsible for Chris and her having to serve community service. When the bell rang, Tory picked up her books and left the Chemistry lab. Leaving the lab, she listened as Kat talked with the dance team who she had suddenly become extremely close too. If it hadn’t been for Tory, she would have even tried out!

Heading to her locker, Tory did the combination and like the day before, Tory noticed that she didn’t have any notes from any of her supposed friends. Another obvious Kat play, turning everyone against her.  Looking over at Drew who’s locker was only a few down from hers, Tory gave him a loose smile which he returned only after making sure Kat wasn’t looking.

She felt more like a used piece of trash instead of a human being. Going to switch her books for French and Algebra, Tory’s eyes fell on her helmet. Looking at the books, Tory let her eyes travel back up to the helmet. Stuffing the books back in the locker and her helmet into her bag, Tory slammed her locker shut before locking it and heading away from her French class.

The slam brought Kat’s attention to Tory and her locker. Watching her leave, Kat knew the timing was too good to give up. “Hey Brit, can I borrow your phone?” She asked after a minute with a smile.

“How the hell does some one just walk out the front door of a prison?”

Glancing at Elliot, Fin grinned. “Get out of jail free card?” He muttered. Though it was a joke, he made no attempt to make it funny or anything else to resemble a joke.

Elliot rolled his eyes as he leaned back in his chair. For the past three days, he and his co-workers had been working on trying to track down a sexual predator that had seemingly disappeared.  His patience was wearing thin with not only the case but with his daughter, Kat and vengeance is mine sayth the lord warpath.

Rubbing his eyes, Elliot looked over at Munch when he heard the phone ring on his desk. Not holding his breath, Elliot knew the message was probably more about Tory doing something stupid then about their case. “Tory.”

“Tory.” Munch muttered.

“Where’s she at?”

“Who the hell knows?” Munch sighed before grabbing his coat and barely registering Fin following him.

TWO:

Tory knew that most would think she would go to Wong’s. She went to that place to hundreds of times before. However, part of her wondered if she should try and break tradition.  Stopping at a red light, Tory glanced to the left of her and waited. A drive back to her mom’s would be a long way away…and besides her mom no doubted had turned her room into a work out room. Go figure for not returning home when told.

Hearing the revved engine next to her, Tory turned to look at the biker next to her. “What?” She called to him over their engines.

“You modeling that thing or you going some where on it.”

“Going some where.” Tory called back. “Why you modeling?”

“Aw, hell no toots, you wound me!” The other biker said placing a hand on his chest. “Come on toots, let me show you a good time.”

“My name isn’t toots, biker!” Tory retorted as she went to drive off.

Cutting her off the biker stopped his bike in front if her. “Then what is it toots.” He asked.

“Bomb.” Troy stated as she turned off her bike and got off of it.

Chuckling the biker looked at her. “Bomb…what the hell kind of name is that.” He asked as he approached her.

Meeting half way, Tory gave him a soft smile. “Because I am the bomb…” She told him. Lashing out her knee connected with his groin—hard. “Kaboom.” Tory told him before grabbing the biker’s keys and throwing them out into the middle of the road.

Returning to her bike, Tory saw the police officer watching her. Starting the engine, she pulled out into traffic finally deciding where she would go and started off towards Hudson river.

~~~

Stretching Kat could feel the pull in her leg as she dropped the leg to the ground. Doing a simple twirl she added a spin kick to it before looking over her shoulder at the photographer watching her. “Hey.”

The boy nearly dropped his camera when Kat called to him. “S-s-s-sorr-rr-ry.” He stammered. “I-I-I didn’t me-eee-an to up-set yo-ooo-u.”

Flashing a smile, Kat looked at him before pulling her hoodie closed around her. “No biggie.” She told him as she moved over to him. “I’m Kat.”

“R-R-r-r-ricky.”

“Well Ricky.” Kat told him. “You new here?”

Nodding, Ricky held up the camera. “I got a pl-l-lace on the newsp-p-paper too.”

“Cool.” Kat told him. “Well I have to go practice.” She told him. “Next time you feel like snapping a few pictures of us though…as Nichole first…she’s kind of a photo hog.”

Chuckling Ricky looked at Kat. “I-I-I like you better. You-u-u’re innocent.”

“I ain’t that innocent.” Kat told him with a wink before jogging to join the others of the dance team.

“Seriously loosen up on Tory.” Fin told his partner. “The girl has been through enough in the past week to fill a lifetime.”

Munch snorted. “When she finds out what life is really like then she can have some free time.”

Holding up his hands, Fin shook his head. “Man the girl is never going to trust you.”

“I’m the parent. They’re not supposed to trust me.”

“Tory needs to trust you though.” Fin retorted. “So she won’t ditch school.”

Glaring at his partner, Munch didn’t answer. “No one told you to come and help.”

“I’m not helping.”

“Oh?”

“I’m here to keep Tory from strangling you instead of bringing you back. Though it’s bordering on buying popcorn and watching the show.”

“Comforting.”

“Ain’t it.”

THREE:

“Alan Karl,” Elliot read, “Last seen raiding my fridge.” Tossing the note from the phone banks down, he picked up another one. “This is the mother ship; we have abducted Alan Karl to discover why he assaults his own kind. We will return him a eunuch,” Pausing he smiled. “We can give that one to Munch.”

“Anything from the phones?” Olivia asked handing Elliot coffee.

“Two we saw him in Ohio, one raiding my fridge and One soon to be Munch’s favorite…He was Abducted by aliens and will return him a eunuch.”

“Screw Munch I’ll take that one.” Olivia commented.

Glaring at his partner, Elliot took a sip of his coffee.

“How’s Kat?”

Letting out a whistle, Elliot shrugged. “A demon.” He told her. “Thinking about having her exorcised."

Patting Elliot on the arm, Olivia gave him a comforting smile. “Could be worse.”

“How so?”

“You could have to deal with Tory.”

Wadding up the useless phone bank messages, Elliot hurled them at Olivia before going back to the messages.

FOUR: 

Not knowing her father had been looking for her, Tory finally returned home. Entering the house, she knew that she had blown off a whole day worth of school seeing that Chemistry was only third period.  

“Have fun?” Munch asked from his perch on the end of the couch. 

Spinning Tory looked at him. “Yeah.” She fired back. “Why? You?” 

“No we didn’t.” Fin stated from his spot on the stairs.  

“Pity.” Tory sighed. “Gotta go.” She added grabbing her duffle bag with her work out clothes. “Got Karate.” 

“Tory!” Munch called after her. “Where were you?” He demanded. 

“Don’t know don’t care.” She told him sharply.  

Confused by her tone, Fin looked at Munch though not wanting to hash open the rudeness that Tory had just used. Watching his partner stop, Fin continued after her. His own kid wasn’t this much of a handful…save for the fact that Fin was uncomfortable with him being gay. 

“Back off Fin.” Tory snapped reaching her bike. “Go save some one that cares.” 

Stopping dead in his tracks, Fin was surprised by Tory’s words. They both had been in the same boat, dealing with Munch’s insanity. “Come on Tory, Don’t play drama queen.” 

Tory stopped and looked back at Fin. “Drama Queen?” She asked. “Give me a break.” 

Unable to return a comment, Fin turned to see Munch exiting the house. “Cragen called. Some one supposedly saw our boy at Pete’s. Even rapists need Chili Fries.”
