“Well, I did have a clever little plan in mind. I was going to see if I could trick her into admitting that she was involved with Tyler Page. But things didn’t quite work out.”

“What happened?”

“Vicky gave me lots of sound advice instead,” Elizabeth said dryly.

Jack looked blank. “Advice?”

“Yep. And then she said something really, really interesting.”

“What was that?”

“ ‘A lady with a past has nothing to lose. But a woman with a future can’t be too careful.’ ”

“What’s so interesting about that?”

“For starters,” Elizabeth said, “it’s a direct quote from the script for Fast Company.”

“So?”

“So Vicky is one of a very small number of people who could possibly know that I had a copy of the script and might recognize the quote. She was the one who suggested I read it, in fact.”

Jack eyed her curiously. “What’s your point?”

Elizabeth turned around to watch the filmmaking in the distance. “I think she was trying to give me a warning.”

Jack was silent for a long moment.

“Now why in hell would she do that?” he asked very quietly.

Maybe it’s the way you look at your friend, Jack Fairfax. . . . Once, a long time ago, I wanted to look at a man like that.

“I don’t know,” Elizabeth said.

“Well, damn. Maybe you were right about her being Tyler Page’s femme fatale. If she was trying to warn you off, then we have to assume that she’s in this up to her phony blond hair.”

“Yes.”

“Why give herself away? And why try to get rid of you? If she knows anything about this deal, she knows you hold the purse strings for Excalibur.”

“Yes,” Elizabeth said. So many questions.

“And why would she think that some bad dialogue from Fast Company would be an effective warning?” Jack asked.

“Maybe because of what happens to the naive, not-so-bright female character who falls for the guy the femme fatale wants.”

“Okay, I’ll bite,” Jack said. “What happens to her?”

“She gets killed.”
