Sitting in a Dead Man's Chair
Thursday, 5:49 PM
"Where the fuck have you been?" Walter's eyes were watery and furious, his
melon of a head shiny with the patina of nerves and authority. "Get your ass into
makeup. No - wait - Charlene!" he screamed for the girl, who came flying across the
studio with a pink tackle box in one hand and a sponge in the other. "Do her
standing so Steve can mic her. Steve, get a mic on her five minutes ago. Jesus
fucking Christ, this is New York, not Omaha or wherever the hell you're from. I
shouldn't have to put up with this shit. What the hell about 'live network feed' do you
not understand? It's my nuts in a sling if that chair is empty, you get me?"
Under normal circumstances, and were it directed at another person, the tirade
might have rattled even the most seasoned pro and possibly cost the floor director
his job. But I wasn't listening anyway, so Walter's magnificent spew was wasted on
me. My thoughts were elsewhere, out of the building which housed the studio and
precisely 42 blocks south and three avenues over.
Charlene, whose real name was actually Charlotte, tucked tissues into the collar
of my blouse before applying Studio Fix to my face. "This is a big deal, Bella - you
should pretend to give a shit, you know," she whispered.
I shrugged. "I'm not here to make his life easier. Are you finished?"
Charlotte surveyed my face as she finished sponging my forehead. "You'll do.
Better sit down and let them test that blouse - what the hell made you wear it?"
I looked down at myself. "Crap. Oh, well. It's supposed to be a lucky color, right?"
"Won't be much luck involved if you look like a floating head against the green
screen," Charlotte grinned, grabbing the tissues away from my neckline.
