Diana was sitting at the computers when her phone buzzed. She unlocked it and saw that there was a text from an unknown number. She didn't have many people's numbers, so this wasn't surprising, but most people also didn't know hers, which confused her. The text was a long message, and when Diana had read it she knew exactly who had sent it.
Been asking around, heard that T is gonna tell people about your bars thing. Is also gonna tell something about L and these bars. Seems like people won't believe her, but T is queen of gossip, and is usually never wrong, so actually is very possible. Also L and B know who hacked the account, maybe you could work with them, but you tend to be more of a lone wolf, I don't know.
Diana smiled, impressed at how good at finding out secrets Dahra was. God knows how she got my number. She could be useful, thought Diana.
The knock on the door made Dekka jump. She got up to open it, but Diana had opened it anyway.
'You really should lock your door', remarked Diana, looking around at the room curiously, even though she had been in here previously.
'Who are you looking for?'
Diana looked at Dekka with raised eyebrows. 'Why, were you not expecting it to be you I was looking for? As a matter of fact, I was looking for Lana, but I'm sure that we can chat a little while we wait for her.'
Dekka wearily looked at Diana. 'What is it this time?'
'You are the only one who Taylor trusts.' When Diana said the word 'trusts', Dekka raised her eyebrows.
'Well, okay, maybe not 'trusts', but she tells you everything she does, and she knows she has a hold over you. I've had people reliably tell me rumours and other information about Taylor, but you are the only one who can get me correct information directly. It's… important to me to know what Taylor is doing, because it could be damaging to certain people, and there are certain things I don't need getting around.'
'What do you want me to do?'
'I need you to tell me everything she does. By everything, I mean reasonably, not what time she is eating lunch or anything like that. Screenshot texts, forward me any emails, I don't know. This is very important, Dekka.'
Lana burst through the door, but at the sight of the two girls, one looking down and the other looking suspiciously at the door, Lana walked protectively over to Dekka. Diana's face changed to her mask of innocence, but Lana wasn't fooled. Her first thought was that Diana was threatening Dekka or trying to blackmail her, because Lana knew Diana well. Diana knew she wasn't wrong, but Lana thought that Diana's intentions were bad, when for once they were working in Lana's favour.
'I know you think I'm trying to blackmail Dekka into doing something for me. Well, I am trying to get her to do something for me, but I'm not blackmailing her – someone else already took that spot. I'm actually just protecting her from a certain girl who's trying to destroy my secrets and lots of people' reputations. Any guesses who? Oh, and I know it was Taylor who hacked your account, not Dekka, I can't believe you would underestimate my sources like that.'
Lana considered Diana's words. She seemed sincere, and it was obvious that she was on Dekka's side in this. However, she doubted whether Diana cared about what would happen to Dekka after she had got her information from Taylor, and if Taylor found out. She knew, however, that Diana would be able to deal with the issue of Taylor better than any of them could without her.
'Alright. What do you want?'
