Stirring the hornet's nest.

Scarlet had ended her call with Justin thirty minutes ago and she was dressing up to go and pull answers out of her spies. She was about to step out of the room when she received a call from Fey. She had left Fey on the Blue star to assist Emmett Wu in her absence as he stood in for her as governor. 

"Hey, sister, this is crazy. Have you seen what Koko's mother is doing?" Very loudly, Fey shouted into Scarlet's ears. "She is on the news right now giving an interview accusing Justin of violently assaulting her daughter. I can't believe this..."'

Scarlet had a terrible feeling and she pulled the phone away from her ear. 

"Alex, show me." she said. 

The terminal on her wrist was turned on, news channels scrolled through until it landed on one and projected it in front of Scarlet in hologram form. Fey was right, Koko's mother was giving an interview to a reporter from the Sun daily and she was all sobs and heartbreak as she spoke.
