"Tania Trace Rock Camp," Stephanie says She blinks at lance with Cooper after taking a sip from my water bottle "We don’t really keep up with Jordan’s and Tania’s professional activities," I say diplomatically

"Tania Trace Rock Camp is an initiative started by Tania Trace," Stephanie says, like she’s reading frohtheh singing, songwriting, and perfor up the self-estee woht otherwise, because of the oh the ative self-ies"

"Wow," I say, pleasantly surprised This actually sounds really cool I can’t believe Tania thought it up

Then I realize Tania probably didn’t A publicity team likely came up with the idea and approached her with it, orin to pressure froroups upset with Tania’s music videos, in which she’s usually scantily clothed and on top of a pool table

Even so, it’s a great idea Why didn’t I think of doing so like this back when I had the money for it and people would actually have shown up?

"Where is the camp?" I ask

"At the beautiful Fairview Resort in the Catskills," Stephanie says, still quoting from the brochure that appears to exist in her head "We had over 200,000 applicants, but with Tania being pregnant, and the shooting schedule, not toon, Tania has only so ive, so we could really only accept fifty"

Fifty? Out of 200,000? Well, I guess it’s soirls whose fa the Tania Trace Rock Careat after all

My cell phone vibrates I check it and see that Sarah is finally calling back Relieved to have an excuse not to listen to Stephanie Brewer go on about her difficulties as a TV producer anyet up from my chair to walk to the far side of the terrace so I can talk to Sarah in private

"Hey, are you all right?" I ask her "I orried I left like three ht," she says crankily "That’s why I didn’t pick up What do you want?"

Whoa I’m used to Sarah’s ?" I ask "Because your voice sounds--"

"Yes," Sarah says "As aAre you aware that someone called Protection to report an unconscious student and unauthorized party in the building?"

"Yes," I say "I am aware of that, actually, and I have it covered Why are you crying?"

"I don’t see how you could have it covered when you aren’t here," Sarah says, ignoring my question "I understand you were here, but Simon says you left"
