"

Laughs are invading the memorial, as Megan wipes her tears away, now looking at the sky.

Jane sighs.

"We tried to make her go out, but she only wanted to see Lindsey because 'she's calming her down'." Gibby explains, closing the dorm's door.

While Kristie and Julie are with Hao in San Francisco to talk with the committee in order to suspend the season for now, Megan is alone in her dorm for two days. Her and Lindsey have had deep talks, and the brunettes seems to be the only person that can cheer Megan on.

Rose sighs.

"She needs some space."

"True" Jane lets out, before exchanging a look with Rachel.

Caprice, who doesn't look that comfortable, smirks.

"We should do something fun today" the Hawaiian says, smiling. "With all that happened I feel like we could use that."

"With Hope Solo on the loose ? No thanks."

The sass coming out of Rachel's voice makes Jane burst into laughter, while Danny only gives her a bow in the ribs.

Caprice doesn't look offended the slightlest.

"We don't have to go out in order to have fun, do we ?" she insists, raising her eyebrows. "I mean, I'll bring alcohol, and someone bring some music and we're on for the night. What do y'all say ? I'm gonna ask the others."

Before anybody can say anything, the girl is already out of the room, as Rachel and Danny are debating about the fact that what Rachel said wasn't that bad. Meanwhile, Lindsey gets out of the room while nobody is around it, as Megan's fallen asleep.

The brunette has her phone in hand, with a text on the screen :

Shit, Lindsey thinks to herself, knowing very well that if she doesn't show up, Hope Solo won't have any mercy on her friends. She has to follow her orders, otherwise both her and her teammates are over.

When Lindsey gets to the little cafe downtown, her mouth goes wide.

"What the fuck are y'all doing here ?"

Sofia Huerta and Morgan Brian both turn around simultaneously, before getting on their feet. Confusion is taking over the atmosphere.

"What are you doing here, Linds ?" Moe asks, confused.

"I received a text from... Wait, are you two working for Hope Solo ?"

"Hell no ! Are you ?"

"Of course not."

When the waiter gets near them, he smiles at them, offering them to sit down. Finding it really weird, the three girls do what they're told, before the waiter puts a piece of paper on the table, leaving them alone.

Sofia immediately grabs the paper and reads :

"Fuck" Lindsey lets out, shaking her head.

"Wait" Moe points out, looking at the piece of paper she took from her teammate's hands. "The four of us ? Who's the fourth person ?"

"Probably a mole in UCLA" Lindsey lets out, shaking her head. When the two Stanford girls look at her weirdly, she adds : "Well, it makes sense when you think about it : two girls from Stanford, two from UCLA and you've got a great coverage."

There is a blank.

"But... why us ?" Sofia asks, frowning.

"Because nobody would expect us to be the bad guys... Shit, this situation is messed up. We have to obey, there's no way out."

"We indeed are fucked up" Moe adds, rolling her eyes.

Sofia shakes her head.

"Maybe we'll figure out a way to get out of that, but for now we have to be smart : maybe we can make Hope play her own game."

"And how the hell would we do that ?"

Another silence.

"I don't know yet" the brunette says, closing her eyes.

At least we're in this together, Lindsey thinks to herself.

Kristie enters the dorm, and is delighted to find out that only Kassey is there, asleep on her bed with her history papers on her. The blonde smirks, before closing the door and putting a cover on the defender, who still has bruises from the other day.

The middy then sighs. How can she be evil ? She puts the cover higher, so that only her face would be out of it, before starting to look around her. Time to do a little digging now, Kristie thinks to herself, knowing for a fact that the defender is in a deep sleep. See ? Told you sleeping with her wasn't that bad of an idea.

As the blonde starts looking into Kassey's stuff, making sure not to wake her up. After quite some time, she finally puts a hand on something interesting : . It's Kassey's handwriting on a file, and on that very file, there are probably information Kassey collected on that famous 'daughter'.

Wait, does that mean...

When she hears Kassey move next to her, she immediately puts the file back into position, before pretending to be looking into another part of her stuff. When the defender opens her eyes and sees that, she jumps on her feet.

"What are you doing ?" she aggressively asks.

Mmh, she definitely didn't want me to find that file, Kristie thinks to herself, before faking a smile. If that bitch can act, so can I.

"Hey, grumpy lady" the middy greets her, smirking. But that doesn't calm Kassey down, so she adds : "I'm looking for medication."

"Are you okay ? What do you need ?" Kassey immediately asks, worried.

Perfect.

"I have a headache."

"C'mon, you can sit on my bed while I look for those meds, okay ?"

"Thank you."

Kristie indeed sits down on the bed, watching Kassey hide the file a little bit more and finally hand her a medication.

But the middy is back on her feet again, and when Kassey turns around, she takes a final step and finds herself wrapping her arms around the girl's hips. Kassey jumps a little bit, her eyes immediately dropping on Kristie's lips. Mmh, let's have some fun while we're at it, the blonde thinks to herself, before aggressively closing the gap in between them.

Kassey kisses back immediately, before pushing Kristie on the bed and undressing.

It's on, bitches.
