I pushed open the door to the makeup trailer and saw Tina Price with her long braided hair, her dewy brown skin, and her pale pink lips. She startled at the sound of the door opening.

“Savannah, hey!” she said, relief showing all over her face. “Oh, thank god. Sit down here, right now.” She moved to the side and indicated a stool set up in front of a large mirror.

I hoisted my purse up higher on my shoulder and Benjamin’s little head popped out.

“Oh, and Lulu’s here. Did you have him flown out?”

“Yes,” I said.

“He looks sick or something, doesn’t he? Look at those eyes. They’re almost yellow. Maybe you should call a vet.”

“Oh, he’s fine,” I waved my hand dismissively. “I had it checked out. It’s just jaundice. Anyway, I just stopped by to tell you I won’t be needing my makeup done today.”

“Says who?” Tina rummaged in her purple plastic makeup kit and pulled out a bottle of foundation.

I wanted to say that Savannah Silver told me, but that wouldn’t work for obvious reasons. It was an important part of the plan for Tina Price to think she was talking to Savanah Silver—business as usual—and if she tried to murder me, we’d know who the killer was.

“Lenny told me,” I lied.

Tina frowned, two thin lines flickering between her eyebrows. “That’s news to me, but you can take it up with Blake if there’s been a mix-up.”

There had, in fact, been a mix-up of the most extraordinary kind thanks to a certain murderous shapeshifter, but again, it was best not to mention that in front of a suspect.

“Is that interview still happening?” Tina asked a man sitting in the corner of the trailer who I hadn’t noticed until now.

There was Blake, hunched over on one of the stools in front of the mirror, scrolling through his phone.

He glanced up, clearly distracted by something. The hint of a grim smile appeared on his lips when he saw me. “The interview is happening. I think it’s in bad taste considering what just happened, but the studio wants us to make a statement as soon as possible since the news of Tom’s death is already out.”

I shuffled over, not completely sure if I was looking at the real Blake, or the shapeshifter. I supposed if this was the shapeshifter disguised as Blake, that would make Tina Price innocent.

I gave a slight shake of my head as if to clear it.

This shapeshifter stuff was getting confusing.

I rolled my shoulders back, doing my best to exude confidence and authority like I imagined an A-list celebrity would. “I won’t be doing the interview,” I said.

Blake sighed, and wiped a hand over his face. “Listen, I know you’re worried with everything that’s happened, but I’m sorry. You’re doing the interview.”

“No,” I said, starting to feel a bit desperate. This was not part of the plan. “I’m Savannah Silver, and I refuse to do the interview,” I said, in my bossiest tone.

“Oh, very authoritative,” Benjamin yipped.

I pushed Benjamin’s head back into the purse.
