Chapter 8

An hour later they were in costumes for the chase scene. T.K. was in his marshal’s uniform, and unfortunately, it was a dress complete with a bustle and corset for Patrice. In this scene, they were running from a lynch mob across the Badlands. The horse wranglers hadn’t appeared yet with their mounts, so they were standing outside arguing about the love scene. “Have you no shame?” Patrice asked, skewering him with her eyes. “You kissed me for real! That was not acting.”

T.K. shrugged. “You kissed me back, so technically I won the bet.”

“I didn’t kiss you back,” Patrice denied. “You said that I had to kiss you when it wasn’t in the line of duty. I kissed you during a scene that was being filmed. So I didn’t break any rules.”

“Tell the truth and shame the devil,” T.K. said with a laugh. “I know when I’m being kissed, and you kissed the hell out of me!”

Patrice gave him a calculated smile. “Prove it!”

But before T.K. could respond, members of the cast and crew flooded the street around them in the fictional town of Quincy. They fell silent. There was no use in making a spectacle of themselves. Patrice let him know with a cutting glance that she wasn’t finished with him yet though. The horse wranglers brought their mounts, and they climbed onto their backs. It was time to work.

The cinematographer sat on the back of a truck in a specially made seat that would allow him to move around and position himself at different angles from which he could shoot the action, and Mike was on the back of another truck in a similar seat. He shouted, “Action!” and watched as his actors galloped out of town into the Badlands.

Patrice had the first line. Bella grinned at Bass as they fled. “I’m beginning to think knowing you is liable to get me killed!”

Six men on horseback chased them, shooting bullets that whizzed by their heads, barely missing them, but Bella and Bass seemed to be having the time of their lives.

As the day progressed, Patrice found herself actually tiring of being on a horse. While the actors weren’t allowed to do anything that would jeopardize their lives, there was a great need to get as many shots as possible of them atop their mounts. It was dusk before Mike called it a day, and by that time, Patrice’s inner thigh muscles and her butt were sore.

The horse wranglers came and collected the horses, and she and T.K. walked slowly back to their trailers. “Still want to be a movie star?” he joked.

Patrice wanted to rub her pained bottom but refrained. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything else,” she said with forced enthusiasm.

T.K. laughed. “Don’t tell me you’re not sore. I’m aching in places I didn’t know I had.”

“I would pay you to massage my butt for me,” Patrice joked.

“I would pay you to let me,” T.K. returned.

Laughing, Patrice turned to look up into his smiling face. “Who do you think I am, Bella?”
