I need a synonim for 'find' or 'reach'. It should suggest annoyance like 'Paparzi can 'find' you everywhere

To flush out = to get you from wherever you are even inside a deep hole with the intention to harm you. To dig up = The usual meaning is "to extract buried things" (rocks, bones, corpse...) but can be used to stress on the annoying behaviour of somebody. To spot = to locate you with precision. Oh my God !! I've been spotted by a paparazzi :O "Paparazzi can flush you out, dig you up and spot you everywhere" I hope it helped you ;)

I'd suggest either: - 'to track down': Paparazzi can track you down everywhere (or maybe 'anywhere' would be better in this context?); I like the hunting connotations. ... or my favourite: - 'to ferret out': Paparazzi can ferret you out anywhere; this is a rather whimsical phrasal verb which I think has its etymology in the Victorian English past-time of putting a large number furry ferrets into their trousers and trying to get them out within a certain time limit (really!). In modern usage, it means to find a fact or person or thing which is not easy to trace. Best wishes! Danny

i think "get" is better.
