Diamond Chip begins in the previous blog post. Chapter 3-5 continues as Dr. Diamond begins her mystery mecca in the social media maze.
Chapter 3
As she walked from the concert she could only think of the cosmic healing force surrounding the superstar. The misty December rain and subtle fog shrouded her in complete mystery. Gridlock in the city streets surrounded Jalena. Finding a taxi would be difficult.
She threw her hooded black and white raincoat over her shoulders as her heels began to hit the pavement. Before she knew it she was the edge of town. As she approached her destination, she could see the yellow cabs lining the lanes of the hotel.

Chapter 4
The steady sprinkle of rain felt good against her face. Raindrops sat on her long eyelashes as she blinked quickly to clear them. She lifted her right arm to hail a taxi. As she brought her arm to her side, she felt a hand grab hers. Turning quickly in self defense, Jalena let her guard down.
“I came back to let you know I got a thing for you. I can’t let go, darling,” was whispered in her ear near the nape of the curls on her neck. The soft whisper of warmth blew gently over her earlobe.
Jalena knew the touch, the voice, the soft whisper. All too well the gentle scent of August snuck up on her presence.
“August,” she whispered as their hands gently drifted down into a full grasp.
“What are you doing here?” she said.
He grinned as he nuzzled his nose gently against her earlobe triggering fireworks.
“Waiting for you,” he replied.
“Waiting for me?” she asked looking through the rain mist into August’s black eyes of wonder.

Chapter 5
Déjà vu…
During this stormy day there was little to do except social media on the Internet. Jalena’s geek girl sense was a guilty pleasure. She spent hours on the computer doing business and research on the Lygene, the next big thing in health maintenance and wellness. Medicine was her passion. As technology advances, so does the way you use it.
Jalena found that social media were great tools for emergency dispatch information, loosely speaking of course. It was another way to help real emergency data transmission. These social media moguls allowed for vast networking to anyone, anywhere, anytime. People you know. People you meet for the first time. Business contacts and groups fitting your interests, old and new. Connecting the dots to make all of this useful was the key to unlock the secrets that fell between the status updates. Like connecting the dots.
Jalena typed fervishly. She was trying to finish the last chapter of her proposal for Lygene. She quickly checked her social media timeline for news. She quickly scrolled down the pages of each open window careful to speed read every detail. Another uneventful day, same old stuff. Always looking for good news, there was little to be found on this day.
She scrolled and scrolled, clicked and clicked. Page after page went by in blurs of her teary eyes. Each page started to look the same with stories and pictures on inglorious ineptness. Coincidental items popped up as she surfed from page to page. Tracking monitors on the internet allowing you to feel in control of the next click. Sometimes she wondered if this was the case.
Computers are clever imitations of life. Social media sites are the CIA in disguise. Deceiving the bots is a full time task. Dr. Diamond used this strategy to make the web spider away from those who sought after her digital footprints. Internet confusion was no illusion.
