Speaking of five martinis, Serena immediately went about making them fresh drinks. She made one for Chuck too. If he didn't want it, she was sure Blair would finish it off for him. Serena didn't want to get wasted but she needed something to take the edge off certainly. And she made sure her phone was in sight at all times with the ringer turned up to top volume. Just in case.
"Can you ask Bart?" she asked Chuck as she set the drinks down in front of her friends. Obviously he had been in contact with his father somehow hence the helicopter that had saved her and Nate and Carter from utter doom.
"I just... I can't think straight until I know that they're safe," she pleaded softly with Chuck. They hadn't always seen eye to eye but they'd grown up together, part of the same circle. Loyalty had to be worth something even if they didn't always get along. They were still friends and she needed her soon to be stepbrother to start acting like it immediately.
"Please?" Ugh. The last word she thought she'd ever say to a Bass. But these were desperate times.
