Chapter 12

Iron Falcon played every other night that week to a sold-out house each time. Caesar’s Entertainment Corporation used their considerable clout to schedule interviews with celebrity-focused magazines and television shows. Sonia immediately nixed a suggestion that such interviews be held in the new home she shared with Mick.

“No, our home is not a TV studio,” she said. “Caesars will have plenty of meeting rooms from which to choose.”

Kristof and Angelo raised their eyebrows in silent surprise at her adamancy. Jack attempted to persuade her to agree, but she would not be swayed.

In response to the media blitz, Jay traveled from his Los Angeles office to manage things before the band did something stupid. He accompanied them to every interview and badgered questions from journalists before the interviews so that the band members could prepare thoughtful answers devoid of profanity.

“This is supposed to be a candid interview,” one television journalist complained.

“Iron Falcon is my client and I’m not going to allow you to make them look like idiots just so you can boost your Nielsen ratings,” Jay responded in an acid tone as he scanned the list of questions and scratched through those he deemed inappropriate.

The journalist had the gall to look affronted.

“We want to get an interview with Mick’s wife,” the journalist said, flashing an unnaturally white smile.

“She’s off limits,” Jay replied.

“Maybe she’d like to be interviewed,” the journalist suggested.

“She doesn’t. Leave her be. She’s not interesting.”

“Of course, she is. People, especially Iron Falcon fans, want to know the woman who was fascinating enough to catch playboy Mick Hendriksen.”

Jay leveled his gimlet glare at the media hound and said in an icy tone, “Mick’s wife is a nice young woman whose only value to the media is that she married a rock star. You will leave her alone.”

The journalist shrugged and let the matter drop, but Jay wasn’t fooled. He’d dealt with the paparazzi for a long time. The hint of a story was like a drop of blood in the water to a shiver of sharks. It was only a matter of time before they attacked.

“Let me speak to Sonia,” Jay requested during one of his meetings with the band, that one taking place in the Hendriksens’ living room.

“Why?” Mick asked suspiciously, wanting to protect his wife from the more unsavory aspects of fame.

Jay cast him a hard glance and said, “I’m trying to protect her, too, Mick.”

Mick’s shoulders drooped a little and he relented. “Okay.” He rose from the chair to fetch Sonia, rather than just shout her name to summon her. The other band members stared after him, their expressions filled with amazement and disbelief.

He found her in the spare bedroom curled up in a chair with a novel. She looked up from the book and smiled to welcome his presence.

“Hey, babe,” he greeted her and bent over to brush his lips over hers. “Jay wants to talk to you. Will you come?”

She blinked, but acquiesced. “Sure. What’s this about?”

“I’m not sure, but it’s probably going to get ugly.
