[17]//BIANCA//

Bianca wanted to scream.

She knew that Piper was using the L Team cabin for incredibly bad reasons, that Reyna had something of someone's that she shouldn't, and that Thalia was about to snap. The only thing to be grateful for was that Hazel wasn't involved in anything.

It was 3AM. Bianca couldn't sleep, which was normal for her nowadays. She sat at her desk, pouring over multiple papers. Gwen, Kayla, Laurel, Silena. She had four sevenths. And the worst part was that Bianca didn't know if there was an eighth- if the seven were mere lackeys and the real L was calling the shots.

She looked over her reasoning and motives for each, her forehead creased.

Gwen - Joined as a spy, but couldn't ditch after Calypso died.
Silena - was vulnerable and convinced, blackmailed and couldn't escape
Laurel- used as a distraction, blackmail??
Kayla- distraction, blackmail??

Bianca's eyebrows knitted together. What had Gwen mentioned? 'Even though some of us did it because we were desperately in love, or because we're just generally a bitch, or even if we were manipulated, or bribed, or even just want revenge on someone...' Bianca had the manipulated bit down, but who who was 'desperately in love', 'generally a bitch', 'bribed' or 'wanted revenge on someone' and would resort to a Pretty Little Liars esque torture?

What else had they said? 'And he... he convinced me that I would be doing the right thing.' Silena had mentioned. Bianca jotted it down. He? So there was a guy in this operation, but that must've been someone calling the big shots, maybe the mystery eighth, if they had the job of recruiting. Bianca didn't doubt there was another guy besides this one, but the question was, who?

She sighed, resting her head on her desk. If only she could figure it out, figure everything out. She got up, heading to her bed. She would sleep on it.

The next morning, Bianca was up and ready to go, except that it wasn't morning and she'd slept in until 3:00. There was still enough time to people-watch, at least for a little bit.

She adjusted her hair and put her short brown wig on, put in her contacts and got dressed. Angelica Banido was ready to go. She slipped out the cabin door, and started walking down the path, treading through the soft snow.

Most people were in classes, but some kids who had their spares, lunches, or were just skipping were hanging around. Bianca slipped inside the side building, moving through the halls. Maybe she would find something in the audio room.

Just as she was heading down there, someone from behind her covered her mouth with their hand and dragged her into the dark band room. Bianca struggled against them, kicking and flailing. She was dropped to the ground and she heard the door lock and the lights flipped on.

Dazed, she moved to her feet, staring at the collection of people standing in front of her. Eight of them. The entirety of the L Team was standing in front of her, and she was helpless. They were all wearing black hoodies, gloves, and masks that scared her quite a bit.
