Taylor's Point of View~

I was supposed to be asleep! I groaned, rubbing my eyes. The screen even on low was still too bright, and I needed sleep, but with all this drama boiling on IG I knew that I was going to miss something good. And Brill probably wasn't going to go to sleep any time soon. I needed to look further into Karlen Dizzy though, maybe I could get her to side with me.

I had just closed my eyes when my phone had alerted me that Ari Brill made a Live. I was on my fake account and I had joined to see the entire thing. This was about as close to her as I could get. Maybe I could build this account up with some fake pictures too and act like a devoted fan. She was a new rapper, she would soak that up. I could get her to do more Lives and learn more about her.

"No, when did I start thinking like this? Innocent until proven guilty. I need to look at this case from all perspectives."

I realized now why this case wasn't going so well. With my kiddy cases on celebrities I never had a bad or good thought in mind: Just find whatever I find. I need to have this approach on this case so I can give the FBI the information they need.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now," I whispered to myself, then turned off my night lamp.

The next morning I woke up, taking in Sunday's morning with a grain of salt. Today was going to be a work day, but at least with a different work ethic.

I got ready for the day then made my way into the kitchen. I made myself a quick breakfast sandwich and went over my day in my Notes. First, pretty up the fake IG account. Two, talk to Gambino about the rental car and someone to may or may not drive me. Three, start following Brillari and follow Karlen Dizzy and Roze as well.

I should also probably look at the tree, Brillari's parents might clue me in to what's up with her. Parents are always concerned for their children, as my own liked to remind me back in the day.

Two hours later, and the Instagram account was believable along with a Snapchat in case it didn't seem authentic enough. I had cheesy stuff in the bio and some doves for a fake cousin made up. It was just nine, and I didn't want to bother Gambino yet though, so I decided to bypass step two and start looking into Brillari's family tree, since I couldn't do step three without step two.

I went back up to my bedroom and got myself comfortable for some good searching. I placed Gambino's flash drive into my computer and studied the files he had sent me. Everything looked normal, although her childhood was a little painful according to a counselor, everything was normal. Normal.

This all screamed too good. And how had they breached confidentiality to get that statement from the counselor? I sighed and rubbed my head. Something big and crucial was missing here. My phone dinged and I saw that Brill was making another Live.

I clicked on it and saw that it was actually Dizzy. My eyes had mistaken me for something I wanted to see. "Good morning hoes! If you are my hoe, shut up cause my bitch in the kitchen cooking and ion got time fo no drama! Aight, I'm finna pull up on dis Ari Brill bitch. So y'all be ready fo da fight. Y'all be ready. Ari, if any of yo lil followers or fans in here, they gon tell you to meet me at the park by da mall in my bio. All my fans come out to support. Bye hoes!" The Live ended abruptly and I flung my computer off of me.

I hurriedly got dressed and dialed Gambino's number. Fuck his sleep, this was important. He wasn't answering as I got my car keys and jacket. I slid my phone into my back pocket and unlocked my car. I got inside and started it but my car began to make a coughing noise. "Shitty biscuits!" I screeched.

I pulled out my phone furiously and got myself an Uber. I mentioned a good tip to get me to that mall fast. As I waited besides my fucked up car, I went to Dizzy's bio and saw the location and estimate of a time on the fight.
