didn’t seem to be an issue. When she went out alone with Aidan—which was most of the time, because he’d apparently adopted her—it wasn’t unusual for their meal to be interrupted by a fan looking for an autograph. Will’s chilly essence kept fans away, almost to the point they didn’t seem to recognize him in public despite his wild popularity. Kal couldn’t ever remember seeing a fan approach Will. Aidan, and to a lesser extent Purson and Gery and some of the investigators, were always asked to sign autographs or have pictures taken.
    They reached their motel and settled in for the evening. Her room was next to Aidan’s. After eating dinner with the crew and other investigators—this time all men—Aidan invited himself over to Kal’s room for a few games of poker.
    He delighted teaching her the game, and she admitted she enjoyed it. They never played for money, although Aidan couldn’t help teasing her about one day coaxing her into strip poker.
    She got the distinct impression he only teased though, and wasn’t seriously flirting.
    No surprise, Will didn’t eat breakfast with them the next morning. Kal spent the day with Aidan, scouting the locations and taking notes, coordinating with the film crew for B-roll opportunities and setup shots. Lunchtime, no Will. Aidan assured her that The Great Brooding One was fine and simply holed up in his room taking care of other business. But from the set of Aidan’s jaw and tone of voice, Kal knew he was covering for Will. Again. Most likely Will was staying away because of her.
    On the one hand it irritated her, and she took it personally. Was she so horrible to work with that he couldn’t bear the sight of her? She had no problems with any other crew members or investigators. That left Will as the common denominator.
    He’d have to suck it up or he’d have eleven miserable months ahead of him.
    Will blew off another preproduction meeting before dinner. Then the crew took an hour of free time before heading to the first location.
    Kal rode from the hotel with Aidan. She knew he hadn’t told Will she’d be on location tonight—Will thought she’d be working with the second film crew at the other location—and hoped the fireworks would be kept to a minimum.
    “I’m sick of this,” she groused. “What is his deal, anyway? Just tell me and get it over with,” she demanded as a way of breaking the uncomfortable silence.
    “What do you mean?”
    “You’re a terrible liar,” she said.
    She couldn’t read the emotion behind his smile. “So I’ve been told.”
    “Then answer my question.”
    “What question?”
    “What is. The deal. With Will?” Not that she expected Aidan’s answer to be any different than all the other times she’d asked him that exact same question.
    “He’s a very private guy, sugar. He’d have my balls if I talk to you about him.”
    “Why doesn’t he want women on any of the shoots? I deserve an answer.”
    Aidan nervously shifted behind the wheel. She knew his fidgeting was more than trying to get comfortable. “He just doesn’t. It’s a personal thing for him.”
    “He’s not gay, is he?”
    “Do we really have to have this conversation?”
    “Look, I need this job, you want this job, so why don’t you work with me instead of against me? Give me something I can use to get into Will’s good graces.”
    Aidan sighed. “It’s not you, I’ve told you that.” He was quiet for a long moment. “He doesn’t want to get involved with anyone.”
    Kal processed that for several minutes. “What? How does that in any way relate to us working together? He can’t keep his pants zipped around women? He throws himself at them? He’s a male nymphomaniac? That makes no sense.”
    Aidan shook his head. “I can’t tell you any more than that, sweet cheeks. Just let me take the lead. You’re right that we all have to work together. That means you have to trust me.” He turned his gaze on her. “Can you do
