NINA:
Have you found my friend yet???
Friday 5:45 pm

ECHO
:
Not yet, Nina… I promise I’ll let you know as soon as I have any new information
Friday 5:54 pm

NINA:
What’s the freaking hold up??? If you’re supposed to be so freaking smart why haven’t you found her yet???
Friday 5:55 pm

NINA:
…
Friday 5:56 pm

NINA:
Howie?
Friday 5:58 pm

ECHO:
Yes?...
Friday 5:59 pm

NINA:
Okay I’m sorry for the attitude but you don’t have to ignore me… I’m just worried about her. It’s been weeks and you guys aren’t telling me anything
Friday 6:00 pm

ECHO:
I know it must be difficult for you, Nina. It’s tough for all of us but you have to understand that we’re doing everything we can to get her back. This is going to take some time because the people that have her are very good at covering their tracks
Friday 6:00 pm

ECHO:
But they’ll slip up. I guarantee you that… and when they do I’ll find them
Friday 6:01 pm

NINA:
Do you think she’s okay?
Friday 6:01 pm

ECHO:
She should be fine. Physically at least. They want to use her body for this sort of ritual that is too complicated to explain right now but just know that they won’t cause her any physical harm
Friday 6:02 pm

NINA:
What kind of ritual? ARE THEY GOING TO SACRIFICE HER???!!!!
Friday 6:02 pm

ECHO:
No. They won’t kill her but she won’t be herself anymore if we’re not able to stop them. Like I said… it’s sort of complicated but I really shouldn’t be telling you all this anyway
Friday 6:03 pm

NINA:
Why can’t you tell me??
Friday 6:03 pm

ECHO:
Well… most of this stuff is sort of CLASSIFIED
Friday 6:03 pm

NINA:
Classified, smashified… this is my best friend we’re talking about! I need to know what’s going to happen to her!
Friday 6:04 pm

ECHO:
Nothing is going to happen to her because we’re going to save her
Friday 6:04 pm

ECHO:
Also “smashified” isn’t a word… Just saying. ;-)
Friday 6:04 pm

NINA:
lol shut up silly!...But what if you can’t find her? What did you mean when you said she wouldn’t be herself?
Friday 6:05 pm

ECHO:
I can’t tell you that
Friday 6:05 pm

NINA:
Yes you can
Friday 6:05 pm

ECHO:
No I can’t
Friday 6:05 pm

NINA:
Friday 6:06 pm

ECHO:
That’s not going to work
Friday 6:06 pm

NINA:
What if I sent you another picture?
Friday 6:06 pm

ECHO:
Exactly what kind of picture are we talking about???
Friday 6:06 pm

NINA:
You know what kind…
Friday 6:07 pm

ECHO:
You’re jerking me around…
Friday 6:07 pm

NINA:
Fine then I won’t send it…
Friday 6:07 pm

ECHO:
Okay! Okay! Lol… send the pic and I’ll think about telling you lol
Friday 6:07 pm

NINA:
I need a little more assurance than that
Friday 6:08 pm

ECHO:
Alright… geez. I’ll tell you
Friday 6:08 pm

ECHO:
…well?
Friday 6:12 pm

NINA:
Friday 6:13 pm

NINA:
There you go. Time to spill the beans!
Friday 6:13 pm

ECHO:
I’m still waiting on the picture to load
Friday 6:14 pm

NINA:
It’s not my problem if your connection is slow. Now spit it out Mister! Lol
Friday 6:14 pm

ECHO:
Not until I get the goods lol
Friday 6:15 pm

ECHO:
It’s still not loading. Maybe you should send it again
Friday 6:17 pm

NINA:
Friday 6:18 pm

NINA:
Done
Friday 6:18 pm

NINA:
Well?
Friday 6:20 pm

ECHO:
It’s still not loading!
Friday 6:20 pm

ECHO:
Wait a second…
Friday 6:21 pm

NINA:
What???
Friday 6:21 pm

ECHO:
Did you just send me a picture of a “picture loading” screen???
Friday 6:21 pm

NINA:
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Friday 6:21 pm

ECHO:
Wow!!!!! You sneaky little devil!!!
Friday 6:22 pm

NINA:
Lol! I got you didn’t I?
Friday 6:22 pm

ECHO:
Not really… I knew it the whole time. I was just playing along
Friday 6:22 pm

NINA:
No you didn’t!!!! Admit it! I got you didn’t I?
Friday 6:23 pm

ECHO:
Okay, maybe you did… but to my defense it didn’t take me that long to figure it out!
Friday 6:23 pm

NINA:
Hahaha!!!! Whatever! The way I see it… I outsmarted the smartest person in the world so that pretty much makes ME the smartest person in the world now!
Friday 6:23 pm

ECHO:
LOL!! I’m not quite sure it works that way! Lol! And for the record… you TRICKED me, you didn’t outsmart me
Friday 6:24 pm

NINA:
So we’re arguing semantics now?
Friday 6:24 pm

ECHO:
Okay! Okay! You got me! But don’t get used to it because it won’t happen again
Friday 6:24 pm

NINA:
We’ll see about that lol
Friday 6:24 pm

NINA:
But seriously I need to know what’s going to happen to my friend if you can’t save her
Friday 6:25 pm

ECHO:
This might be hard for you to believe but it’s the absolute truth Nina… The people that have Monica want to bring a being from another dimension into our universe. This being needs a physical body in order to exist in this dimension so they plan to bind it to Monica’s soul in order to let it use her body as a physical vessel. As far as I know, it’s only been done one other time in the past and from what I can tell, once the being takes over it pretty much controls everything
Friday 6:26 pm

NINA:
So it’ll be like Monica doesn’t even exist anymore?
Friday 6:27 pm

ECHO:
Something like that. She’ll look just like Monica but it won’t be her
Friday 6:27 pm

ECHO:
But that’s why we’re doing everything we can to stop it
Friday 6:27 pm

NINA:
Do you know if they tried tracking her phone? She had it with her when she was taken. Maybe that can lead you to her location or something
Friday 6:27 pm

ECHO:
That was the first thing I did. Unfortunately it was a dead end
Friday 6:28 pm

NINA:
Maybe you should check again. She’s smart you know? Maybe she turned it back on or something
Friday 6:28 pm

ECHO:
They would have searched her Nina. Even if she had the phone on her when she was taken I doubt she still has it now
Friday 6:28 pm

NINA:
Howie just try to track the phone please!
Friday 6:28 pm

ECHO:
It’s a waste of time…
Friday 6:29 pm

NINA:
Can’t you just try it? For me? Just to put my mind at ease?
Friday 6:29 pm
