Chapter 13

Darrell

What…a…day. I had a new client come in today, and he was a real pill. He’s a manager of a huge band, and I get that, but he has zero aptitude for technology, and he couldn’t understand that I need the footage to have certain parameters, or I can’t edit it. It’s so simple, and this is the first time anyone has ever questioned it. The man, God love him, is older, and sweet as sin, but no matter how I explained it, he couldn’t understand the certain variables that the footage needs to meet, so that I can apply the various treatments to it.

Thank God Carter was here. He played with him while I spoke with another client on the phone, and then I offered to talk to someone higher up than him, and he agreed. He apologized for being so behind in the times, and we ended the meeting well, but I’m exhausted. The phone rings just as this man’s car pulls out of the parking lot, and I cringe just thinking about who’s on the other end. “Lightning Video Editing.” I answer, trying for cheery, but only getting it halfway.

“Darrell. It’s Brian.” He says flatly.

“Brian. Hi. How’s the vacation?”

“Over. I’m back in town.”

“Oh. Okay. Did you want to meet up for anything?”

“I’ll be coming by tonight. Can you give me the number for Crimson Records? I misplaced it in the laundry.”

“Oh no.” I chuckle, shuffling through the Rolodex. “Is everything okay with them?”

“Yeah. They just…the money hasn’t arrived yet. It was supposed to have been wired already.”

“Oh, okay. Yeah, they said that they would wire it once I provided the bank information. Which I did last week.”

“Yes, I know. I hate to do it, but I think we need to start taking a deposit from these assholes. At least then we have something to show for it if they bail.”

“I really don’t think Crimson will bail, Brian. They’re working on the rest of Brave Face’s album, and I’ve all but sealed the deal for the videos on those singles.”

He chuckles mirthlessly. “What’d you do? Fuck one of them?”

I pause. The line is dead. He expects me to have some cute retort to that, when inside I’m seething. “Oh, so you did.” He adds, making me purse my lips together in anger. “That’s dedication, sweetheart.”

It takes everything in me not to say, ‘fuck you’, and slam the phone in his ear.

“Have you got that number, Darrell?”

“Yes.” I say sharply. I feel like saying, ‘1-800-eat-shit-and-die-motherfucker’, but I don’t. I give him the number and simply click off, thinking that if he comments on my abrupt end to the conversation, I’ll say that there was a problem with the line, and the fact that he can shove it up his ass.

Carter is sitting at my feet, staring up at me, like he understands my pain. His little puppy dog eyes tear at my heartstrings, and I suddenly forget about the asshole that I work for. “You want to go for a walk, buddy?” his tail wags and I smile.
