taz
WHAT

nate
we have a problem

taz
dude it is the middle of the night here can't this wait?

nate
if it could wait, i wouldn't be texting you, would i?
i thought it would blow over better coming from you than me

taz
if you don't use your next text to tell me what's going on i am going back to sleep

nate

taz
shit
fuck
please tell me it's not everywhere

nate
it's everywhere
they're saying she was dropped because she's difficult to work with

taz
oh for fuck's sake
she rang them yesterday how is it out already

nate
they put out a statement, probably before zoe could say something herself
please tell me she's spoken to her pr people

taz
yeah she gave them the heads up
i'm assuming this statement says nothing about them trying to take her songs from her?

nate
what the fuck
no

taz
for the record, they cancelled the album because she told them that she was moving to london, it had nothing to do with her being difficult or whatever bullshit they're saying
and then they tried to tell her that she couldn't take songs that she wrote for the cancelled album and record them under whatever new label she ends up working with

nate
well i'm guessing she didn't take that lying down

taz
she didn't
they backpedaled when she threatened to sue them over it

nate
well that's something, at least
have you told her yet?

taz
no
she's asleep
i'll tell her in the morning

nate
what if she sees it online before you get a chance?

taz
then i'll deal with it
we have one more night before we come back and zoe's going to be back to having nightmares and waking up all hours of the night, so i'm letting her sleep
it's not going to make that much of a difference if she finds out now or in the morning anyway

nate
i don't like this idea

taz
you asked me to look after her and that's what i'm doing
i'm not going to wake her up in the middle of the night just to tell her that she's been labelled difficult to work with when she's already worried about whether she's going to be able to get another record deal over here

nate
fine
tell her to call me once you tell her

taz
i will
now i'm going back to sleep
