A plot thought:
POV: of the ex-Bitten
While on a shoot, an ex shows up asking for $$. She refuses. He ends up dead a couple of days later. He’s constantly bothering her so she is the last person to see him alive (supposedly). She is in Steel Canyon for the shoot, and searches out The Rack, finds Anilia. Bomber shows up.
He doesn’t want to get involved, but Anilia doesn’t want to abandon her, either. Bomber makes no obvious advances, but she remembers how it used to be with Jacmes and wonders how Bomber is; so she makes up that she’s taken and engaged in order to avoid that.
