Except for her unnaturally large and perky breasts, Kitten French didn’t look like a porn star. She was wearing leggings and an oversized UCLA sweatshirt. Her blond hair was pinned up on her head in a messy twist and her face was makeup-free.

Pete looked mystified. “I don’t get the boobs thing. I mean, I understand it from an intellectual framework, but -” He pointed at Kitten. “That’s just ridiculous.”

I said, “Think of them as buttocks. High, firm, and round.”

He grinned. “If those were buttocks, it would take a well-endowed man to reach the hole they hid.”

I spluttered a laugh.

Jon went through the preliminaries then asked, “Is Kitten French your legal name?”

“God, no. My name’s Jessica Bledsoe.”

“Okay, Ms. Bledsoe. What part were you playing in the show?”

“Florence Vix. Communications officer.” She rolled her eyes. “Glorified spaceship receptionist.”

“Tell me how you got involved in this production.”

Jessica snorted. “My agent called me about it. Said it was a good opportunity to break into television. I’d asked her to keep an eye out for parts that would ease me into legitimate acting.” She shrugged. “Porn is a young woman’s game. I’m not getting any younger.”

“Did you audition for the part?”

“No. I was prepared to, but when I met with Martie and the producers, they just talked to me for a while then offered me the part. I read over the contract and asked them to change a couple of things, which they did. So I signed.”

I squirmed - the folding chair on which I was sitting was uncomfortable. “Wouldn’t she need an entertainment lawyer to read a contract like that?”

Pete said, “You’d think.”

Jon asked Jessica, “Had you met Ms. Pepper before?”

“No. I’d never heard of the Conspiracy Network. I did some research before I went, to make sure I was going to get paid. The company seemed to be fiscally sound.”

Jon raised an eyebrow. “Do you have a financial background?”

Jessica raised an eyebrow back. “Not exactly. I’m a lawyer.”

Pete and I both had to slap our hands over our mouths to keep from laughing out loud, possibly alerting Jessica to our presence behind the glass. Jon said mildly, “That must come in handy.”

“It certainly does.”

Pete said, “She’s her own entertainment lawyer.”

Jon asked Jessica, “Why…”

“Why porn?” Jessica grinned. “The money is great, and I love having sex. I graduated from law school with no student loan debt. Unfortunately, this city is overstocked with lawyers, so I kept my day job.”

“I see.” Jon was fighting back a smile. “Did you know Rafe Conroy before you were hired for this production?”

“No. If I’d known anything about him, I might have turned down the job.”

“Why?”

“He’s an asshole. He wants to fuck me so he can say he’s doing it with a porn star. Then on set he acts like I’m a piece of gum stuck to his shoe.”

I said, “She’s using present tense.”

Pete nodded.

Jon asked, “Then why do you have sex with him?”

She looked surprised. “I only did once. Or at least, I tried. He was stoned and couldn’t get it up.
