The next morning, when she arrived on set, something was definitely wrong.

Bryson greeted her brusquely. “You’re late,” he said.

“Sorry,” she said. It was true, she was about twenty minutes late because of some train delays, but normally the first twenty minutes after she arrived were quite dull anyway. “Is everything okay? Something I can do?”

He shook his head, as the line producer came over. “We better get moving if we’re going to shift these scenes around.”

“I know, I know. I’m just trying to figure this out.” Bryson was standing with a copy of the shooting script and paging through it as they spoke.

“Why do we have to move scenes around?” she asked.

The producer shook his head. “I guess she missed the fireworks.”

“Fireworks?”

“I’ll explain later,” Bryson said. He continued flipping through the script.

“We need an answer on this, Bryson.”

“Give me ten minutes. I need to think this through.” He frowned down at the pages as if trying to figure out a particularly tough riddle. His brow furrowed and he bit his lip in concentration.

The line producer gave an exaggerated sigh. “Time is money.”

“I’m aware of that.”

The line producer stalked off.

Kallie looked at Bryson. “I don’t understand. What happened?”

“Just before you got here, Dale Nolan and I had a bit of a disagreement. He came in this morning with a bug up his ass about the scenes we’re shooting today.”

“What was his problem?”

Bryson continued searching his script as he talked. His voice was weary and strangely unaffected. “I could hardly make heads or tails of it. He had some ideas about script changes. Fucking actors. It’s like, no—you’re not a writer and a director and a producer. You’re a puppet. Be a good puppet, recite the lines that people write for you and move the way the director tells you, stand where you’re supposed to stand—and look pretty.”

Scarlett was a little shocked by his outburst. She looked around to make sure nobody had really heard him, because if that kind of talk got around set, things could get ugly for Bryson. “I think maybe calling him a puppet’s not such a great way to communicate your frustration.”

“I know that, Scarlett. This is just between me and you. If I can’t bitch to my assistant, than what are you here for—right?”

Her mouth puckered. “I thought I was here for more than that.”

“Please, don’t you get an attitude now, too. I don’t think I can deal with that right now.”

She wanted to make a smart comment to him right then, but looking at the exhaustion written on his face, decided against it. He was clearly stressed to the breaking point. “So what exactly happened with Dale? Where is he?”

“God only knows. When I told him that I wasn’t going to use his script changes, he stalked off in a huff. So now we need to reorganize filming because he’s left the set and I refuse to shut down filming over it.”

“Okay. Does Eliza know what happened?”

He looked up, and now he did look somewhat concerned.
