>>20878129Annabelle is on her way back to her locker room when she is intercepted by a strange woman, who is apparently seeking information about what goes on in the dojo. Something about the way she carries herself and the look in her eyes is INCREDIBLY unsettling.
Kiyoko Kade. She recognises her now. A new arrival. No wonder something was off about her. Everyone knows those Kades are dangerous. One even tried to burn Kanako in a coffin not too long ago.
“Information is my business. You want me to give it to you? I’m gonna need something in return,” Annabelle says. She knew it’d be better to have this woman as an ally than an enemy. But she still needed to get a decent deal out of this.
She listens as the woman offers her information about the happenings in Club Xtacy. Perhaps she’d get some good scoops out of that from time to time, if she could actually deliver. It was a strong possibility. Whatever her relation to Cassie Kade would presumably allow her some level of access. But Annabelle wants more.
Then Kiyoko says it. She offers to watch Annabelle’s back.
Annabelle grins. “I… do sometimes say and tweet things that could get me in trouble with some of the women in this company. Having someone to look out for me would be very prudent indeed.”
Annabelle nods. “OK. I’ll keep you up to date on everything that happens in the dojo, even the things I don’t tweet. And in return, you tell me whatever you can about Club Xtacy and make sure that anyone who wants to get their hands on me, has to go through you.”
She looks Kiyoko in the eyes, and offers her a handshake.
