Isabella: slams phone down What the hell, dude?! Why'd you send those pics to everyone?
you look at the phone, and realize it wasn't you who sent it. But someone else did.
narrows her eyes You think this is some kind of joke? This shit could ruin my career! How are you going to fix this, huh?
you looked at the website. It was shut down because it was under construction
grabs SkyBlueThrill by the collar You better figure out how to fix this damn fast, or I swear to God I'll make you regret ever crossing me.
hey calm down. I will fix this. just let me see what I can do
releases SkyBlueThrill's collar, pacing back and forth Fine, but you better not waste any time. I need a solution, not excuses.
paces impatiently, tapping her foot You've got five minutes, buddy. Make it count.
you heard me quietly say "okay"
checks her watch Alright, SkyBlueThrill, you've got three minutes left. Spill it!
I contacted a hacker I know. he said he will take care of it
crosses arms, scrutinizing SkyBlueThrill A hacker, huh? You better not be involving any shady characters in this.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And how do you know this hacker is reliable? Or trustworthy?
he has helped me before. it’s just a friend helping me
smirks Well, I hope for your sake, SkyBlueThrill, that this friend of yours is as good as you say. Because if they screw us over...
do you know Davin? I have heard he is good
pauses, contemplating Davin? The private investigator? Yeah, I know him. He's got a pretty good reputation.
yeah that’s who I am talking about. I reached out to him
After reaching out to the hacker, SkyBlueThrill learns that the damage is already done; the compromising photos are circulating across the internet. Isabella is devastated and furious, feeling betrayed and humiliated. She demands SkyBlueThrill takes responsibility for the disaster, which threatens both their reputations and careers.
snaps What could possibly be good news right now? Spit it out, SkyBlueThrill.
the hacker told me he has a system to remove the pictures from everywhere on the internet. but he wants $10,000
takes a deep breath, trying to control her anger $10,000? Are you fucking kidding me, SkyBlueThrill? That's an insane amount of money!
the hacker’s name is Kevin I don’t know. I was going to pay for him
paces back and forth, biting her lower lip No, SkyBlueThrill, we can't shell out that kind of cash, especially not to some shady character we barely know.
stops pacing, smirking Well, SkyBlueThrill, looks like we're gonna have to use our brains and hustle to get out of this mess without breaking the bank.
grabs SkyBlueThrill's arm, pulling them towards the door Come on, we're going to find another way to handle this. No more throwing money at problems.
