out front.
    Perhaps selective photography could make this place look like something real after all.
    “Do you mind if I get a photo of you lovely ladies next to your car?” Quaid asked and I could tell he was coming on to us, “I know the both of you are going to be famous after this show and want to make sure I have a shot of you beautiful ladies for my archives.“
    Of course, he was trying to flatter us. We were all going to be together for the week. I’m sure he was thinking that at some point he may have an opportunity to take advantage of the closeness we were feeling as colleagues in a shared adventure. We posed for his picture, hands on our hips and gave him our best come hither smiles.
    “Cheers,” he said with a bit wolfish grin and walked off to snicker with Norris and, I’d guess, to make some crude innuendos about us.
    Sheldon signaled for all to gather around. He had a group of six Malay men with him armed with cameras and firearms. They were rather rugged, mercenary looking, and a bit unruly.
    “Everyone, please listen to me closely. Each team will be accompanied by one of these gentlemen who will be your cameramen, sound crew and bodyguard during the race. They will be in your cars and at your sides during the entire production. You will only be unaccompanied when you are locked away in the safety of your hotel rooms. They will be filming you from breakfast until bedtime. Our goal is to film you night and day during the next five days and obtain as much incidental footage as possible. I’d prefer to waste film on the cutting room floor than miss any footage that would make this show a success. Whether it’s an argument, a toilet break or a romantic interlude between team members, I want to capture it all!” He raised his hands into the air, “For this show is going to rival both the all reality television series in its popularity and production value!” He preached and we cheered, drawn into the fantasy that we would be world famous after the production aired. People would point to us in the streets, approach us on the MRT and chase us while on holiday in Phuket, asking for autographs and taking secretive photos with their handphones.
    “Like I said, your cameraman is also your bodyguard. They are armed with pistols,” one of the cameramen lifted his shirt and we could all see a large clunky looking revolver sticking out of the top of his pants, “and a shotgun will be secured in the boot of your cars in the event of ambush by highway robbers, an attack by a pack of menacing infected or perverts intent on taking advantage of team members from the weaker sex,” Sheldon said with a chauvinistic smirk towards Jamie and I, his harelip scar shining in the equatorial sun. “These gentlemen work for our sister station in Kuala Lumpur, they may look rough, but they are professionals. They speak very little English and have been instructed not to help you with directions. The interior of your cars are bugged for sound and feeding live to our mobile production unit. If we hear any of you engage in conversation with your cameraman regarding the competition you will be disqualified and lose your chance at boo-coo money!” he held up his hands, twisting his fingers as though holding imaginary cash.
    “Oh, by the way, I’ve been informed that no one can return to Singapore until the Malaysian side of filming is complete. We received special permission to film the race during this so called ‘zombie fever’ epidemic and have specific instructions on when and how we can return to Singapore. I will tell you more as we draw near the completion of the race. Eliminated contestants will be confined to a designated hotel until the end of the race or when we need them for reshoots or personal bio taping. You should know that there is also talk of Singapore closing the border later today due to some unconfirmed sightings of a Berjalan penyakit just north of here. I’ll keep you informed when and if I hear
