Los Angeles, TMZ headquarters.
After work, Jody packed up her things, slung her laptop bag over her shoulder, and left the company. When she got to the parking lot, someone waved at her.
It was a news tipster from Warner Bros.
He wore a baseball cap and had a paper bag under his arm. He approached Jody's car swiftly, asked in a low voice, "Big news, are you interested?"
Jody inquired, "What news?"
The tipster hurriedly said, "On the set of 'Inception,' directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Martin Davis, the physics professor hired by the crew was kidnapped in Morocco. The kidnappers were arrested before they even left the hotel."
Jody's first reaction was, "Did Martin take down another bunch of baddies?" She frowned slightly, "An incident like this with Martin involved can't be considered top-tier news, the price might not be especially high."
