    Priscilla sat in her small studio room, surrounded by dust-covered boxes of vinyl records that had once been her pride and joy. The sunlight had faded long ago in the fabric of her world, leaving her with the persistent dread of what was to come. After rising to fame with her soulful voice and magnetic performances, she had been dropped by her record label during a corporate shake-up. The bad press and whispers of scandal were far too much for the executives to stomach. Suddenly, she was no longer the golden girl but a tarnished memory.

    Priscilla's mind raced with thoughts of the ruthless producers who once celebrated her raw talent. They wanted to bury her, to discredit her in the eyes of an industry that thrived on the new and trending. Little did they know that in their attempt to erase her, they were igniting a fire.

    Meanwhile, at the heart of a bustling city, DJ Bumble Bee whose real name is Monty had his finger on the pulse of the underground music scene. In his own right, he had built a solid following for his late-night radio show. While the producers clamped down on budding artists like Priscilla, Monty was determined to break the mold. One night, he gathered the courage to air one of her lost tracks. The vibrant notes of her voice filled the airwaves, and he felt an electric thrill pulse through his veins as his audience immediately connected with her sound.

    Priscilla’s music began to spread like wildfire; listeners flooded the station with requests for her forgotten hits. Every time Monty played her tracks, he knew he was risking everything. But as the station's ratings soared, he could see a glimmer of hope in Priscilla’s story. That glimmer quickly turned into a blazing spotlight, and with it, a target on their backs.

    Rob Spencer, Priscilla’s producer and enemy was furious when he found out that another station in another city was playing her records. He and his business men tried to track down the station, scrambling to maintain control over it. But Priscilla had a plan of her own. In the shadows, she began laying the groundwork for her own record label, something distinct from the traditional industry that had once confined her. She chose a fresh start, one where she could showcase talent without the chains of corporate greed. With connections forged in the underground scene, she quietly signed new artists, all while remaining behind the curtain.

    Monty, ever the crafty DJ, decided to step out of the box as well. He launched a new radio station designed for artists to express themselves freely. This time, he was not just a voice; he was a force. He reached out to Priscilla , and they came up with a strategy that would allow them to keep their identities under wraps while putting music back into the hands of the people.

    When it was time for Monty to be released from the hospital, Priscilla was there to help him. Monty got a phone call from Jet Jay Boston that his house windows and things in his home were broken. Both Monty and Priscilla knew right away that Rob Spencer had something to do with it. Jay had told both Monty and Priscilla to get out of town over the phone. Monty put his phone on the speaker shaking like a leaf.

    Jay: Priscilla, take Monty and get out of town. It’s not safe for either of you to be here. When Rob and those men get out of jail, they will be coming for Monty again. They got some more crew looking for Monty. And you have done right not to sing again. Since your records have been played, he wants Monty to continue and make him money.
    Monty: And I won’t do it. That Piece of ..

    Jay: Rob is crazy. Now he wants to use Monty and take over everything. He’s a mobster. Get out of town because he’ll be after you too Priscilla.

    Priscilla: When I was with him, he didn’t want me or my music.

    Jay: Now he see that you are bigger than you ever were before. You were big all the time. Rob didn’t know what he had. He just wasn’t doing things right. It wasn’t that the fans didn’t love you. You gained some new fans today. Now get moving girl and be safe.

    Priscilla took Monty back to the rural area with her worried about where he was going to stay. She didn’t want him to stay with her. Being hurt by men, she trusted no man, and was content living alone. Priscilla didn’t have to ask Monty where he was going to stay. He told her that he could stay in a hotel.

    Months went by. Monty kept in touch with Jay Jet Boston. He mailed him the keys to his radio station to become the disc jockey in his place while he was gone. But Monty became depressed and scared about his life. He felt alone and was used to being in his own town at his own home with a job. But he was blessed to have Jet Boston as a friend. He cleaned up Monty’s house and replaced all the broken windows.

    Priscilla and Monty didn’t speak much with eachother. Priscilla got lost in her music. After a while, she thought about Monty. She gave him a call, but Monty wasn’t half speaking. Priscilla finally went to visit Monty at the hotel. When she got there, he was sick and trying to leave the hotel. Priscilla wanted to know how he was feeling.

    Monty: I’ve got to leave here. This hotel is about to take all of my cash. I’ve got to go back home. Monty picked up a cup of tea. He was shaking.

    Priscilla began to worry again. She said: If you go back, those guys will kill you. I guess I’ll have to be the one to take you in for a while. Come and go with me.
    So Priscilla drove Monty to her place, but she had to stop a couple of times along the way. Monty was very sick. While driving, Jet Boston was talking to Rita King on the radio. Priscilla turned up the volume. Miss Rita had been drinking and angry at Rob Spencer. She was under the same record label as Priscilla.

    She yelled out (Rita): Priscilla, wherever you are. We want tou back at The Buzz AMB. That man’s a goodly man. He got my records played.

    Jay: We’ll be back with more Rita King right after these messages.

    Priscilla kept the words of Miss Rita on her mind: That man’s a goodly man.

    When Priscilla got Monty to her house, she pulled down some stairs from her ceiling. She let Monty sleep in her attic. She chose the attic just in case she was found by Rob Spencer. The pull down stairs were not noticable. It was like a trick to the eyes.

    Staying with Priscilla, Monty had doctor visits. After being hit in the head by Rob Spencer, he would sometimes have dizzy spells, and he had a muscle injury after a blow to the stomach.
    Priscilla fed Monty and took care of him, and Monty would help Priscilla. They learned more about each other.Priscilla saw that Monty was a lot like her. They became close knit friends, and the attic became a love nest. It was a place where they would talk and hold each other.

    Priscilla thought about the conversation that she had with Jay Jet Boston, but she did not think about calling him. Instead, she thought about owning her own record label and doing things her way. Pricilla knew how to make her own music, and she knew how to write her own songs. Priscilla turned her basement into a home studio. She began working on her own music which was something she didn’t get a chance to do at her old record label with Rob Spencer.

    Then Priscilla thought about Monty. For days she tried to call him and get in touch with him, but there was no answer. Later, she found out that he was in the hospital. Monty was nearly dead when he was found. Like Sympathy, he had been beaten but beaten far worse than Sympathy. Priscilla told Sympathy she would never go back to the city she came from, but she knew that she was lying to her. Priscilla went back to the city and she went back to see Monty.

    When Priscilla went to visit Monty, she saw him with a swollen face and he was badly bruised up. She could barely tell if Monty could see her. Both his eyes were cracked open. Priscilla went to the window of his room and looked down. She saw Rob Spencer and two bad men getting out of a car to go into the hospital doors. Priscilla looked at Monty and said: You gotta leave here.

    Monty who could barely speak asked his doctor to let him transfer quickly and secretly into another hospital from his enemies that carried guns. The doctor gave him his request having police to investigate Rob and his men. Someone saw Rob and his men beating Monty and had it recorded to send to the police. So the police knew Rob and his men. They were arrested several days later after Monty was transferred.

    Priscilla spent some time with Monty and went back to her place to work on her music for the future.
