The Vamps have released their lead single from their upcoming album, and it has been the only song Quinn listened to for today, since someone hacked into her computer and deleted all the files she has, including her collection of classical music, the magazine section she has been working on and her promotion column, which is due by the end of the day.

"That's it. I'm so fucked," Quinn says to herself as she looks over at her column's outline, which is missing the revisions she made while writing, and her computer, which is rebooting. Even their in-house technician is having difficulty retrieving her files.

"Any luck?" Quinn asks the technician, who sighs.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jones. I'll write a report so that Michelle can extend your deadline."

"No, it's fine. I was supposed to send her my article earlier, anyway. I think it would be better if I start from scratch," Quinn says, then the technician nods her head. Quinn thanks her before she leaves, then she starts to type her outline down, adding the details she can remember.

"Quinn? You're still here? Aren't you supposed to pick Devi up?" Linny asks Quinn, who minimises what she is working on before closing her eyes.

"Right. Thanks for reminding me. I have to call her and tell her I'll be running late," Quinn says as she takes her phone, then Linny looks at her screen.

"Aww, what happened? I've never seen such a clean computer," Linny says, then Quinn chuckles sarcastically as she dials Devi's number.

"It's none of your business. Just go home, Linny," Quinn says, then Devi picks her phone up.

"Hello?"

"Hey. I'm running late at work. Something unfortunate happened. I just discovered that my work got deleted and I have to rewrite my entire column and hopefully get the progress back from the section I was working on. I can't pick you up. I'm sorry," Quinn says a little too quickly, but Devi was able to pick up everything that she said.

"It's fine. I can just take a taxi home. How much coffee did you have?" Devi asks, then Quinn chuckles.

"Enough to know that I haven't had a decent meal today. But, it's fine. I'm fine. I just have to submit my column which is due today, then I'll be home once I get all the materials that I need for my section that is due next week."

"Alright. I'll text you when I get home. See you later," Devi says, then she hangs up.

"You do realise that Michelle moved the deadline of the magazine section, right?" Linny asks Quinn, who looks at her.

"I thought I told you to leave?" Quinn says, then Linny chuckles a little before showing her an email from Michelle to all promotional candidates, saying that the magazine section's deadline has been moved to the end of the day, and that a late submission means automatic disqualification.
