“I do. In France.”

“I propose to let you have the film rights to the recovery of the shipwreck excavation,” she said.

“With you in the lead?”

Annja hesitated. She’d have to talk to her lawyer to make sure she wasn’t breaking any agreement with Chasing History’s Monsters. But she believed she was on safe ground. She knew she could take on film work as long as it didn’t directly compete with anything she was doing with the television show. And the television show pulled out of this one, Annja reasoned. No conflict of interest.

“Yes,” she said. “With me in the lead.”

“You’ll handle the excavation from start to finish?”

“I will.”

Garin was silent for a moment. “I don’t know.”

“It’s a good deal,” Annja said. “I’m a proven commodity in the entertainment market. You can get a deal with HBO or Showtime, or The Discovery Channel or The Learning Channel.”

“Probably. But I don’t know if it’s going to sell any better than The Best of Annja Creed Collection.”

Garin paused. “And why isn’t Chasing History’s Monsters all over this?”

Annja decided to lay her cards on the table. She had nothing to lose. If she tried to hide the show’s initial involvement Garin might be upset.

“They were,” Annja said. “They pulled out their funding a few minutes ago.”

“Why?” Garin asked.

“I don’t know. They’re not returning my calls.”

“I see.”

Annja listened to the silence for a time. Her anxiety was growing.

“I’ll agree to your proposition,” Garin said finally. “I’ll provide funding—”

“Immediately,” Annja interjected.

“Immediate funding,” Garin amended, “for your project. We’ll work out the points on the royalties later, but I assure you I’m going to get most of them.”

“Agreed.” Annja wasn’t interested in the profits. She just wanted the opportunity to see what was there. If she’d been independently wealthy, she would have funded the excavation herself.
