Rumor [Mia]

[Rhett Goddard]

Rhett had met Mia some months ago, they had biology labs together and only talked once or twice. It wasn't until the two Rumor blogs that clearly mentioned him that she called his attention. He was not happy at all about someone knowing about the whole Talen deal and making it public, and so, he wanted to know who was behind the whole thing, and from the same blog, he noticed she might want to know too.

Rhett wasn't the e-mail type. He was better in face to face meetings, but for this purpose, an electronic medium was a better idea. He knew that she was a technopath and, like him, uncomfortable when lacking information, and he also knew that when asking favors, something he unusually did, it's better to make the asked person comfortable.

He searched for her hammel e-mail between the e-mails sent to his biology class last semester and typed up one quick message. He entered her terrains.

Mia,
We have something in common. I want to know who is behind the Rumor blog too. If you are really interested, and you are as good as you think you are, you may know we can help each other.

Goddard,

I'm better.

Why would I need you though?

Mia.

[Rhett Goddard]

Mia,
If you were better you wouldn't have replied back, you would have known who Rumor is by now. Besides, you don't seem like the getting-their-hands-dirty type of girl, Watchtower. I caught your invisible spy, Scholl, without trying, get me close to a suspect and I'll find out if it's involved in the behind-the-scenes of the blog the same way.

Rhett,

What makes you think I care that much about some stupid gossip blog?

And Scholl's an apprentice. Not a spy.

Anyway, you want a physical suspect? Any idea how long that will take? Any idea how many hours hunting down IP addresses and log in locations? All for you to get up close and grab the glory? Make me a better offer.

Besides, maybe YOU'RE rumor and this is to throw me off the sent.

Mia

Mia,
Paranoid much? Stop the acting, you want to know and you already have decent list of possible student suspects and I'm not one of them. Let's start with those. I don't need glory, you can take that, I just want to know who it is as soon as possible, after that, you can do whatever you want. You want an offer? That was my offer. Or you can have your "apprentice"'s help.

Goddard,

Shove the list where the sun don't shine.

We shouldn't do this over the net. If I haven't caught them yet, they can get into student emails.
Meet me at the pond tomorrow at 12, and you'd better bring some ideas to the table
