CHAPTER 16

The consequence about a pleasant Sunday with Reeve was a Monday filled with guilt. My stomach ached as I drove into my incredible job in my amazing car given to me by an enthralling man who should be my enemy rather than my lover. If I was going to spend my weekends with him, then I needed to do my best to keep the rest of my free time focused on other ways to find Amber. Not that I had a lot of free time. With twelve-hour production days and limited avenues of investigation, it wasn’t like there was a lot I could do.

But by the time I’d checked in at the lot, I had an idea of something I could do – I could talk to Chris Blakely. Frankly, I should have followed up on it before and if I hadn’t been so consumed with my fascination about Reeve, I would have. Though Chris hadn’t known Amber, he’d known Missy. He’d spent time at the Palm Springs resort with her. Surely he could tell me something new about Reeve during that time. Give me some inside dirt about the couple. His theory about the cause of her death would be worth a conversation alone.

While I wasn’t as certain as Joe was that my phone calls were monitored, I decided it didn’t hurt to be cautious. Also, Chris hadn’t given me any indication of his opinion on Reeve. That meant I needed an excuse to reach out to him. I could bring up Missy as an afterthought. Luckily, a suitable cover story came up at that morning’s table read.

As soon as I had a break, I called him on the cafeteria phone. I’d considered using the disposable but suspected Chris wouldn’t take a call from the unknown number. A call that showed up coming from the studio, however, he’d surely answer. No actor could resist those calls.

He answered on the first ring.

“Hey, Chris, it’s Emily.”

“Emily. Hi. Wasn’t expecting you. What’s up? Did you lose your cell?”

“No. Stupid me, I left it at home, and I couldn’t wait to talk to you so I’m using the phone on the lot.” It was almost disturbing how easy it was to lie to him.

“Well, this sounds promising. I don’t know how Megan will feel about it, but —”

I cut him off. “Stop it. That’s not why. I have a lead for you. Just found out the show is introducing a new male character next season, and I knew you’d want to know ASAP.” Really, I didn’t think Chris had a chance in hell of getting the part, but he didn’t need to know that.

“Serious? A cameo or what?”

“A recurring role. It’s the mom’s brother. I thought maybe we could get together, and I could give you some hints on prepping for it.” Hopefully I could pinch one of the writers for some inside scoop so that I could back that up.

“Fuck. I’m out of town. When’s the audition?”

“Not until after hiatus. They haven’t even announced it yet.
