What did you expect? You stare at the search results. A woman at her level, if she *is* at that level, wouldn’t be reckless enough to spill personal details online. Would she? You open her LinkedIn profile. It’s sparse: a professional headshot, a title, *Director of Risk Oversight*, and a list of achievements that read like corporate propaganda. No personal details, no posts, no connections you can exploit. *Yet.* But you’re no fool. Intent or accident, she *must* have left something behind, a thread to pull, a door to unlock. You dig deeper, platform by platform, until you find it. A Facebook photo. She’s tagged in it. And there, around the neck of a young, energetic girl, dangles a Blackridge ID card. *Bingo.* The kind of person who’d overshare online. A loose end. You jump back to LinkedIn and search for the girl. **Sophie Chen**, an ex-intern at Blackridge, in the risk department. If Isabella is who you think she is, Sophie was either her intern or a junior colleague. You pray for the former. You dive into Sophie’s posts. Dozens of them, most mentioning Isabella subtly, if at all. But you catch the references: leadership, the importance of showing up, work ethics so extreme they’re a few votes shy of slavery. All the typical jargon young finance enthusiasts use to lie to themselves. This information is useful, but not what you need. *Not yet.* You glance at the clock: **22:53**. Your day job looms. Up at 5:00, the first train to the city, another hour and a half of commuting, just to argue with some client who plugged in the wrong address and *magically* hasn’t received his package. Your eyelids drag like lead weights. The screen’s glow burns your retinas, but you can’t look away. Not yet. Somewhere in Sophie’s posts lies the key. But how long can you keep searching? You could pivot: research Blackridge instead. After all, if Isabella’s been there this long, her identity and the firm’s are intertwined. Learning about one means learning about the other. Or, you could just go to bed. Not be late for work tomorrow.
