Phoenix

Those few hours with Maggie made everything clear.

I needed to get Mark and her together as soon as possible so we could hammer out a fair deal for her demo that was now being used without compensating her.

The music had been magical that night.

As we pulled into the lot, and I realized the crew was searching for us, I let her hand go.

I’d take the blame for staying out past curfew, if that was what the search was about.

I’d not hurt her more, even if it meant losing an easy concert deal to play to large crowds. I puffed my chest out as we walked into the building. Finnigan spotted us and said, “Phoenix, Maggie, the judges are waiting for you, in conference room C.”

“Great.” Maggie let out a sigh and met my gaze. “This is my second time getting called in.”

Right. This was on me. I nodded and said, “We had time off. That was the point of today.”

Finnigan waved us off at the door and headed toward the studio. He must have received his songs already. The judges had the manila envelopes with our assignments. They were all seated on one side of the table and the English judge said, “Phoenix. Maggie. Please take a seat.”

I held her seat for her and then scooted in beside her, folded my hands on the table and asked, “What’s going on?”

Maggie gulped her water. Her face was white.

The British guy said, “The producers are going through the contract.”

My ears buzzed. The higher-ups wanted part of the Christmas album sales. I had lawyers and an agent, but this could destroy Maggie. I understood immediately, but Maggie asked, “About what?”

The pop star tapped her pencil on the table and said, “Your Christmas songs that you happened to sing together without revealing you were making an album.”

“Maggie is not being paid for it, so she’s broken no rules,” I said quickly. Maggie’s leg began to shake and I placed my hand on it under the table. She pulled away as I said, “Your producers can speak to my agent, Mark Powers. Maggie had nothing to do with the song being released.”

The British guy nodded and said, “They are. So we’re clear, you’re using your girlfriend.”

“We’re not together,” Maggie said quickly.

No, we weren’t.

Mark always took care of details and read every loophole. I knew I was fine legally, but I wasn’t sure inviting their anger was a good idea. It was better if I took the brunt of the heat. So I said, “Then the producers will see everything was done according to the contract. We’re not filming any music video, and all recordings were done before we were sequestered on the show.”

“Going through our finalists to find the next girl you could use is horrible.” The pop star rolled her eyes beneath her fake eyelashes and added, “Why did you think it was okay?”

Maggie’s face was white and her feet tapped against the floor as she said, “It was supposed to be a demo, and only that, to use for showing off our vocals.
