We arrived at the construction site and hurried up the stairs, following Chuck.

"She said she was on the Third floor." Chuck told us

"Hold up, hold up. Do you guys smell something weird like..." Nate cut me off mid sentence

"Gas. I'm calling 911." Raina, Chuck and I ran on ahead and we reached the third floor. Chuck told us to wait as he went on ahead. I watched as he tried the door.

"Don't! Stop!" Chuck kicked the door in and we followed. I took the other side of Blair, protectively

"Dad?" Raina entered

"Raina, you shouldn't be here." Nate joined us

"Neither should you. But if you do this you're taking me with you because i'm not leaving without you." she sighs "I know you didn't mean to hurt my mother, the fire was an accident. I forgive you." She took the lighter that he was holding

"You'll being going to jail for a very long time. And I won't be visiting you, ever." She left and we all followed. Nate, Raina and I gave our statements. I then got a taxi back to Dan.

-3rd Person-

Dan, Serena and Vanessa divided up in the chance of capturing. Dan went back to the VDW apartment, Vanessa took the brownstone in case she had the thought of making another attempt and playing Rose and Serena stayed at the school. Vanessa decided to have a look around the new home of her best friend. And found herself in Dan's office which still had the lights on. On the table was a manuscript.

Inside

By Daniel Humphrey.

She sat down and began to read what her friend had wrote and smiled.

-Rose-

I arrived back at the party and looked around for Dan. I was to caught up in turning here and there I got caught up in my dress and nearly went flying. A secure pair of arms caught me though.

"Rose?" I was lifted back up to face Louis "Are you okay?"

"Depends on the minute, have you seen my husband?"

'No I have not? Have you seen Blair?" he asked and I nodded

"Yes, she got caught up in some trouble with a old enemy of my father's. Last time I saw her she was talking with the police."

"Is she okay?"

"Yes. Yes, she's fine. I'm sure she won't be long." I cleared my throat and pushed his hands away "I'm gonna call Dan, to know where he's is." I took out my phone and called him

"Dan? Where are you, I'm back at school."

"I'm at our parents. The three of us took different places homing Charlie would show up at one of them. Are you okay?"

"I'll be better when I see you. I'm coming over." I hang up "Goodbye Louis." I turn and walk back out. I take a taxi over and head up. Once I arrive I see Mom, Rufus and Dan. I kick my heals off and run over to him, he lifts me up and twirls me around.

"You would not believe the night I had." I mumbled

"Ditto." He put me down and I turned to the fam

"Is everything alright?" Mom questioned

"Turns out I'm actually sane compared to some. I poured myself some coffee and told them what happened. The I had finished Mom's phone rang

"I'm gonna change. I think I still have some spare clothes around here." I left, turns out I hold had a t-shirt so I borrowed some of Serena's jeans and a cardigan.

-3rd Person-

Dan stepped to one side to call Vanessa. Her phone ran just as she was finishing the book.

"Hey." she answered

"You okay? You didn't call when you got in. Is Charlie there?"" he asked

"No i'm sorry. I just... I got caught up. I found your book" she told him

"My what?"

"Inside. Dan, it's incredible." she looked over some of the pages

"You went through my stuff? You have no right to do that." he scolded her

"I know, I'm sorry. This could be the best satire on the Upper East Side since bonfire of the vanities. How long have you been working on this?" she replied

"Five years, off and on. Now, put it back and we can forget you found it."

"I always thought Rose or Serena was the reason you fell into the Upper East Side. But it was more than that."

"Vanessa, seriously this is none of your business."

"You always wanted in. Maybe more than Jenny." she thought

"The irony is that if I ever show it to anyone it'll guarantee my outsider status forever. Married to a Bass or not." he placed over and Rose retiring from getting changed.

"Dan, you know as well as I do you can't be an insider and make great art. You have to stand alone to observe and not care whose feelings you hurt or what people think of you."

"Those people are my friends. My best friends, my family, my wife." he retorted

"It's not like any of them come across worse than you do. And there is a certain someone might like the way she's painted. Get it published, take a stand. Be a great man instead of a good boy." he got a text from Serena saying she found Charlie.

"Serena, found Charlie. You need to pack it up and get out of my office then out of my home. Leave they on the side."

"Dan this is important. Don't just drop everything and help them." Rosie walked over.

"You coming?" she asked and he nodded

"Goodbye, Vanessa."

"When are you going to realise you were a better person until you asked Serena out four years ago. Then you married Rosie"

"When are you gonna realise I had a better life before you climbed up my fire escape four years ago. As for my wife I love her and i would chose her over you, any day." he hung up.

"You okay? You sounded pretty upset." Rosie handed him his coat.

"Yeah, I dealt with it." He reassured.

At the brownstone. Vanessa huffed before packing up the manuscript and standing up. She glanced down at his desk where a picture of Dan and Rose's engagement photo sat proudly. She knocked it down and left the key but with the manuscript
