Heada

I thought about calling Heada — she'd know what was happening — and then decided that was probably a bad idea.

Vincent was, demonstrating another program, and the studio exec, still pitching time travel to the Marilyns, and Heada.

She didn't know anything about comps — she'd been taking Basic CG 101 last fall when I got her class schedule out of Heada.

I could get it from Heada, but I didn't want her looking sympathetic and thinking I'd lost my mind.

"There was this Columbia exec at the party," Heada told me, perched on my bed.

The only equipment a freelancer needs, I thought, which at least means whatever Alis is doing it's not freelancing, and realized I'd been relieved ever since Heada told me about seeing Alis with all that equipment, even though I didn't know where she was.

"This Virginia Gibson person really does look a lot like Alis," Heada said.

It took me a week to finish the b-and-w's, during which time I couldn't get through to Heada, and she didn't access me.

Heada went out of her way to keep me posted — she hadn't found a dancing teacher, the Viamount takeover was a done deal, Columbia Tri-Star was doing a remake of Somewhere in Time.

Which eliminated parallel timefeeds, and there must be worse to come because Heada was still hovering by the door like Clara Bow in Wings, unwilling to tell me the bad news.
