“IN FACT,” DENNIS went on, “I know exactly who you are. So, why are you here and why are you lying to Dawn?”

“Who do you think we are?” Sherlock asked, unruffled.

“I don’t think, I know. You’re Sherlock Holmes, the British detective out of New York.” He looked at me. “And you’re Doctor Watson. From New London College. You think any of us who were working that season of Campus Queen wouldn’t know you both on sight?”

“No, and we weren’t trying to fool anyone,” Sherlock said soothingly.

“Other than Dawn.” Dennis sounded extremely protective.

“Only to get honest answers.” Sherlock cocked her head a bit. “You all seem very fond of her.”

“She’s just a kid, a sweet kid, who’s not into drugs or booze or partying or all that other crap.” He looked quietly upset.

“Just into sleeping with the director.” Sherlock spoke evenly.

Dennis shrugged. “The heart wants what it wants. Sure, he’s slept with every woman on this set, but it’s different with Dawn. Cliff’s in love with her, it’s really obvious. Maybe not to him, Joey, or Tony, but it’s easier to see if you’re a little removed. And she’s head over heels for him. So, that’s really not the problem. She’s twenty, she’s old enough to make her own choices.”

“Really?” I blurted out before I could stop myself. “She looks sixteen.”

“That’s why she’s the lead,” Dennis replied.

“So,” Sherlock said, “what is it that you’re upset about, then?”

“Nothing. Other than you two lying to her.”

“And now you’re lying to us, and obviously. Please don’t.”

Dennis eyed Sherlock. “You’re here investigating what’s happened to Cliff, aren’t you?”

“We are.”

“Well, take a look at Andenson’s financials. Because I think Cliff’s run off with the company’s money.”

“Why on Earth would you think that?” I asked, again before I could stop myself.

Dennis sighed as he stood up and headed for the door. “Because none of us have been paid for two weeks and counting.”
