She walked a little slower, letting Alex walk around the SUV, putting distance between them and the other man, the cell phone palmed in her right hand. When Alex got close, Roberta held out her right hand to shake his hand. He eyed her suspiciously for a fraction of a second but went along. When the cell phone made contact, his eyes widened. He grasped it as she transferred it to his palm.
“Nice to meet you, finally,” she said a little loudly, so the other guy would hear.
Under her breath, she whispered, “Please get this to Taylor as discreetly as possible.”
“Yes, ma’am. Nice to meet you too,” he said, then whispered back, “I’ll drive it over now. I assure you, he’ll get it.” He nodded once, turned around, and climbed into his SUV. There was nothing more Roberta could do with her mission accomplished but wait to hear from Taylor.

Taylor spotted Alex hustling up the stairs of his on-set trailer. Just leaving for the crafty for a bite to eat, Taylor opened the door before he could knock.
Alex held out his right hand. “You left your cell phone, Mr. Reyd.” His left eye twitched a tiny wink.
Catching the slight movement, Taylor smiled. He remembered exactly where the phone came from. In fact, he had been contemplating his options about getting it back all morning, finally deciding to go without it until he got back to Roberta’s house that evening.
The two men shared a knowing look. “Thank you, Alex. I appreciate you finding it for me.” Taylor’s sly smile crept across his face further, though he tried not to break out into a full-scale, teeth-baring silly grin.
“No problem, Mr. Reyd.”
As Alex walked back to the SUV, Taylor let his mind wander to the night before. A shiver ran up his spine, remembering Bertie naked in his arms. He wanted to call Alex back and have the man drive him to Roberta’s house for another episode. But he didn’t. They were having trouble with the ATVs and the elevated camera dolly. The track he was to follow had been moved twice because of obstructions. Finally, the cast was sent off for an early lunch while the crew dealt with the problems. There probably wouldn’t be enough time to get to Roberta’s and return, let alone linger in her bedroom. Certainly not for as long as he would like.
