Chapter 14: Sasha's Price
Nobody said anything.
The fire popped.
The boom kid's shirt finished burning off the marshmallow.
"Ten days," Sasha said. "I shot ten days in Malibu. He said I'd get paid when the app paid him."
The gaffer laughed, short and ugly.
"Welcome to the club," he said. "That's what the shirts are for."
Sasha looked at the shirts curling in the flames.
Her chin was shaking. She lifted it anyway.
"Can I talk to you?" she said to me. "Just you."
"Here's fine."
Mom was already standing.
She had a hot dog fork in one hand.
"Sit down, Mom."
"I'm comfortable."
Lennon didn't get up. He didn't let go of me either.
Sasha took a breath.
"He has your pages," she said.
The whole fire went still.
"The ones from the notebook. Eleven of them. Green paper, little holes down the side. Your writing."
"Where?"
"With him. He keeps them in a laptop bag that never leaves his shoulder." She swallowed. "Brown canvas, with a little G stitched on the flap. I asked him once what the G was for. He said thrift store."
