It was the girl we’d rescued, staring at me.
Oh, okay. No Madison here, which is probably a very good thing for Taylor…
Can you imagine, though?
“What?”
So what prompted this? Did the rescued girl recognize Taylor from somewhere, or notice something about her, or…?
“You go- you went to Winslow High.”
She did recognize her!
Man, what if this girl was one of the lower-level Harpies, blindly following along with the Trio in hating on Taylor…
“No,” I stepped back, pulling my shoulders out from beneath her hands.
…y’know, on one hand this would be a perfect moment to reveal this girl to be Madison. On another hand, I figured Taylor would’ve immediately recognized her. But on a third hand, she was established to be wearing a ridiculous amount of makeup…
“Yes. You’re the locker girl. I almost didn’t recognize you without the glasses, but everyone at school knows who you are. You’re with the Merchants now?”
Okay, yeah, this isn’t Madison. But Taylor’s apparently more well-known than I think she was aware of.
Also, funny she should mention the locker incident. That’s kind of a major cause for Taylor’s presence here.
But yeah, what is she supposed to say? Either word makes it back to Winslow and maybe Danny that Taylor’s with the Merchants (unless she can get this girl to keep her mouth shut about it), or she has to reveal that she’s undercover, which is a line of discussion that very quickly leads to “I’m a cape”.
