Chapter 24

When the door to his dressing room opens, Donnie assumes it’s the makeup girl coming back to make sure he’s perfect for the show, like she said she would. But a man comes into the room, leaving the door a jar.

“Hi, I’m James. I’m here to interview you.” The guy smiles, and he reminds Donnie of a shark. He’s an ordinary enough looking guy, tall, blond, not bad looking, but something about James seems off.

“No one told me I was being interviewed,” Donnie says, swiveling the chair he’s in so that he’s facing James and not just looking at him in the mirror on the dresser.
