Phantom Titans 2: The Wrath of Slade

Answers, Please

The slanderous newspaper article was still on my mind as I parked my Camaro in the school parking lot. "Hey, nice ride. You have something for me?" a voice asked. "Erin! Of course, come here beautiful!" I exclaimed as we kissed. I got my backpack from the passenger seat as we made our way inside. Erin and I talked about our weekend plans until a hand forcefully grabbed Erin's hair. "Kwan! Let her go! Now!" I exclaimed. "Not so fast, Fenton! You've had this coming for a while." Dash said. I avoided his punch as Erin and I held hands on our way to homeroom. We got inside to find Paulina talking to Mr. Lancer. I quickly transformed and turned both of us invisible. From the doorway we could clearly hear their conversation.

"But Mr. Lancer, the newspaper is the only thing I have going for me right now. If I'm not on it, my credibility goes down!" she whined.

"No offense, but I don't give a darn. You're off. Permanently, starting immediately." he said. "I'm lead reporter. Who could possibly replace me?" she asked.
"Sam Manson." he replied.

What then followed was a scream so shrill it made opera singers sound like they talk normally. "What the fuck!! That loser? She's nowhere near as experienced!" Paulina yelled. "Yes, but she has the photography experience. It's then a matter of how well and how truthfully she can write a story. I believe that she can handle both."

Still invisible, I grabbed Erin's arm and went to go tell Sam.

"Lead reporter? Me?!" she exclaimed. "You're the only Sam Manson in school, so yes. Even more so, Lancer took Paulina off permanently." I said. "Yes! What should I do first?" Sam asked. "Maybe find out where Paulina got her sources for that slanderous bullshit." I said. "I'm on it."

Sam, Erin and I began going around town talking to people. "First stop, the Nichols residence. I rang the doorbell to see Nicholas Nichols and his son Mikey. "How nice to see you. Come in and make yourselves at home." Nicholas said. "Thanks." I said as we all settled in the family room on the spacious couch. "Now what can I do for you?" he asked.

I immediately got to the subject of the article. He said nothing the entire time. "All I know about Paulina is that she's rich, spoiled, and a real drama queen. Mikey here says that she's the most unpleasant person he's met." I couldn't help but agree with him. After being run over by her, I detested her even more. "So you don't know where she got her sources from?" I asked. "I do know where she got one. She was a blonde, clothes that looked like a cheerleader."

I knew exactly who he was talking about. "I got it. Erin, c'mon. We have to see a girl and give her a piece of our minds."

The public eye was about to be rocked to its core.
