WADE STALKED into his bedroom, barely resisting the urge to slam the door. His father was at him again. When was he going to get a real job? When was he going to grow up and act like a man? When was he going to take responsibility for himself, be more like his brothers?

Slumping onto his bed, he picked up the phone and dialed his agent in New York.

“How’s that job coming?” he asked the moment Steve’s voice came over the line.

“Wade? It’s two o’clock in the morning here. What the hell are you doing calling me at home this time of night?”

“I haven’t heard from you in weeks, man. I need that job. Is it coming through or not?”

There was a deep sigh on the other end. “It’s not. I would have called you if it was. I told you when I talked to you that it was a long shot.”

“So that’s it? You don’t have anything for me? What the hell do you expect me to live on?”

“I’m doing what I can, but the competition’s stiff right now. There’s nothing that really pays, you know what I’m saying? I could probably scrounge up some odd jobs here and there, but they’re for amateurs. You’re way beyond them, and they don’t pay squat. They’re nothing you could live on.”

Wade ground his teeth. It was the same damn story. He’d always gotten these kinds of answers and nothing but chicken-shit jobs, while Chantel had been vaulted to fame and fortune. And he was the professional! He was the one who could withstand the pressure. Look what had happened to her!

“It doesn’t have to be the cover of GQ, all right, Steve?” he said, getting desperate. Something had to break. Henry’s patience wouldn’t last much longer. His father would cut him off, and then where would he be?
