Flashback

Holy mother of pearl.

Talia had just created a weapon, the deadliest possible. There are different types of weapon and knowledge of what's in the dark is the deadliest of them all.

She only intended to snoop around to find out about what had happened and who was responsible for her dad's misfortune.

What she didn't expect was to find out a whole lot more than what she intended. She couldn't sleep couldn't eat after realising what she had discovered. 

She had created a module where she could find whatever information she wanted if it was available on the digital platform, private or public, everything accessible and all you need to do is ask the right questions.

She had dived into a world of treachery, betrayal and things far worse than she thought possible.

She was worried that if it would fall into the right hands then she would be the reason for downfall of not just people but countries. The kind of secrets you would never want to uncover.

Shanks had been playing around with her system and he happened to find it. When he mentioned it to her she was worried for him. Its different when you are at danger for your decisions and very different when you become the reason for danger in someone else's life.

It took a whole lot of convincing from Shanks to settle Talia down. She had kept it all to herself but when she found an unknown entity snooping around she decided to let it be on black market that this exists and that she would sell it anonymously.

Things started to go haywire from then. She had couple of people trying to break into her system but she was an ace at it.

There is no way they would be able to break it but what she was afraid of was them using others to get their hands on it.

She had thought of destroying it but now that people knew about it, they would force her to rebuild it and she knew she would in a heartbeat if someone's life was at stake. It wasn't just about her.

That's the time when the incident with her at the audition happened and she decided to give it a shot with her snoop device. She had started to call it snoopy just as a joke but now snoopy was a weapon.

Her father had been scammed by a man who turned out to be no other than her ex boss Mr. Connor, Adrian's father.

She had joined that agency for bringing him down but when she started to get caught in the spotlight in the company she knew she had to leave before that man figured it out.

But regardless of what she does about it, Mr. Connor will not leave unscathed. He would pay for everything.  She had assumed she could use Diego to leave evidence of his crime but Diego turned out to be just as ugly as Mr. Connor.

Flashback over.

"-So I have been looking into authorities that could deal with him especially after the things he has pulled with our families but I dont know anyone that might be ready. There is one person I looked into through Snoopy and he has a clean slate-" Talia was interrupted by Shanks.
