Audio log continued, great so now I'm in some crate?! What am I, an exotic pet? HELLO! Some airholes would have been nice, and a little hospitality, maybe a snack? UGH. How'd I get here? Good question. It started with Cam's first day back since he lost his presidency to Beth. Chaz thought he'd scoop me by turning the ex-president's return into his trashiest TV ambush ever. I thought that an authority figure might actually, you know, care, but Principal Wurst had something else to talk about; Coral Grove. So I tell him everything! Next thing I know I'm in this box and it doesn't take an investigative journalist to see why I'm here. OWW. But, since I am one, It's all because Jenny and I got that password from Brandy's place that gave us access to a Coral Grove database. Which obviously made the wrong people very angry. And that means Jenny must be next! I have to warn her, but how?!'
(Principal Wurst, playing cards with blue reaper mats ) 'Hey, can you keep it down in there? We're in the middle of some important business here. OK, boys whose turn was it? Oh yeah, mine. Ha Ha, that's Gin. My winnings, ha ha!'
