.I was just playing.”“Get over yourself.I’m going to check something out.”Monson walked to the study with Casey and Artorius following closely behind him.Artorius yawned loudly as they entered the office.“What exactly are we doing, Grey?”Monson shook his head.“I'm not sure.” Something about Damion made him uneasy.“I want to see something.”Monson pulled up a web browser and googled damion the diamond peterson.Thousands of results came up, most of them discussing Damion’s football and academic accomplishments over the last two years.A select few discussed the Horum Vir academic competition and Damion’s rise to fame and influence, but there was nothing on Damion’s pre-Coren life.Interesting, thought Monson.“Damion became the Horum Vir in his sophomore year, correct?”Casey and Artorius both nodded their heads.“Technically it was the end of his freshman year.Why?”Monson examined the scrolling content.“Let me ask you this: Before he became the Horum Vir, where did he come from?”Monson’s two friends looked to each other, slightly baffled expressions on their faces.Casey put his arms up around his head in his signature gesture of contemplation.“You know, now that I think about it, I have absolutely no idea.I think he’s from somewhere in California, but I could be wrong.Never thought to ask.”Monson nodded his head, understanding and for some reason expecting such an answer; the news didn't surprise him in the slightest.Monson returned to the browser and typed damion peterson pre-coren years.Again, many sites and results came up.Monson scrolled, looking for anything that might be promising.The three boys searched for the better part of an hour clicking and re-clicking sites having to do with Damion’s life before he arrived at Coren University.While there were many, a number of those were down or were simply not helpful.While Monson thought it could be a coincidence, it was still very strange.“OK,” said Casey, now intrigued at the total lack of helpful information, “ this is strange.The Damion I know has his own freaking fan club.Those sites at least should have a decent summary of his life.”Their continued search proved Casey wrong.While there were many sites and pages dedicated to the Diamond, most of the information was repetitive and formulaic and did not shed much light on his past.They did glean some facts from their search but were lacking anything substantial.It was then that Artorius let out a grunt like a bullmastiff.“Oh! I am so lame.”Casey yawned.“That we know, but what does that have to do with anything, Arthur?”Artorius made a rude gesture to Casey, the latter’s yawn turning in a snorting laugh.“I know where we can get info on Damion: Gossip Guy.”The light went on in Casey’s eyes.“See Arthur, I knew we kept you around for a reason.”“Umm, I hate to interrupt the self-congratulation, but what exactly is Gossip Guy and how is he going to help us?”“Seriously Grey?” Casey rolled his eyes and pushed Monson’s rolling chair away from the computer.“If I didn’t know any better I would think you play dumb just to bug me.”“Does it bug you?”“Yes, yes it does.”“Then mission accomplished.”“Oh, you’re hilarious.”“So I’ve been told.”Casey typed in a series of passwords on to a partially loaded page.“This, Monson Grey, is the Gossip Guy Blog.If there is anyone who might have information on Damion, it’s them.”The Gossip Guy Blog, as far as blogs went, was relatively basic.There were hundreds of postings of stories, most of which seemed to detail various facts, rumors, scandals and other tidbits about the lives of:“Coren University students? ” asked Monson, “Are you trying to tell me that this blog is dedicated to the students of Coren University? ”Casey nodded his head in the affirmative.“That's right.If you want the skinny on any of the students here at Coren, this is the place to get it.Even the teachers know about it but they can’t get access— you need a password to be on the site.It has some of the finest security ever seen on the blogroll.”“Fascinating, ” said Monson leaning over Casey to get a better look at the site.“Never seen anything like this.Who runs it? ”“No idea,” said Casey, scrolling through the stories.“It's actually one of the big mysteries of Coren.Though I think its original owners must have graduated because the site has been around for some years now.”“So will this have what we need on Damion?” asked Monson.“I really don’t know [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
