“As long as I'm in LA, you can stay with me,” Tammin said quietly.
“Seriously?” Victoria asked, surprised.
“Of course,” Tammin said. “And if you don't want to report your rape right now, you don't have to. I really wish you would – it's the right thing to do, because assholes like that never stop at just one girl. But it's your choice. I can't force you.”
“Thank you, Tammin. For everything,” Victoria said. “I can't thank you enough for this.”
“Well, we'll just have to see about that,” Tammin said, with a smile. “Now, I really need to get to work. Let me give you my cell number, okay?”
“Yeah, you already had me in bed. We probably should exchange numbers,” Victoria said, trying to sound flip about it.
“Victoria Justice, if you and I had really shared this bed last night, trust me, you'd remember it,” Tammin said.

The cab stopped two blocks away from where the FBI van was parked, and Kristen Bell stumbled out, wishing once again that she had larger sunglasses. It wasn't THAT bright out – this was LA, and the smog level was pretty bad today. But in order to get into Amanda Seyfried's panties, and thus her home, Kristen had drank a little too deeply, especially of a fine wine Amanda had offered when they'd gotten back to her place – Kristen had sipped that wine off Amanda's nipples.
Fortunately for Kristen, even drunk, Amanda talked in her sleep, and admitted that she only went to the club to pick up women, and still needed a redhead for her weekly goal. A quick hunt through her purse while Amanda was in the shower, and an even quicker call back to the San Fran office confirmed that Amanda Seyfreid was just a lonely, if beautiful, lesbian living in LA with more money than time on her hands and a penchant for strippers.
Which meant, awesome sex aside, Kristen's entire night had been a bust.
The van was right where they'd left it – a remarkable feat itself in LA, she figured. And to her surprise, when Kristen opened the door, Tammin Sursok was sitting there, looking at her phone while sipping coffee. There were two more cups in a plastic container on one of the seats, steam still rising from it.
“You're a godsend,” Kristen said.
“Thanks, I try hard,” Tammin said.
“Not you, the coffee,” Kristen said, downing a large sip, nearly burning her tongue in the process. She didn't care.
“It's so much fun working with you two,” Tammin grumbled. “Is that the same outfit you were wearing last night?”
