Paul nodded his head in agreement. Obviously Gloria and her character meant something to these people. Paul had to think a moment at Colette's question. As Martin's bodyguard, he was around the movie sets and premieres. It had been his job to keep Martin safe and he didn't always remember everyone else that had been there. He hadn't been paid to know all the actresses, who came and went very fast thanks to Rich. Although, given what happened to Gloria, she stuck out in his mind more. Sometimes he wondered if he could have done something to help her.<br/><br/>Gloria had been a nice girl, Paul remembered that. Some actresses were snobs and wouldn't talk to him. Thinking they were better then him because he was just the 'help'. Gloria hadn't been like that, neither had her friend been. Both girls would strike up conversations with him from time to time.<br/><br/>~"I remember she told me she was only child and her parents lived a few states over. She had moved to Hollywood because her dream was to be an actress. Rich didn't let the female talent have boyfriends. He said boyfriends distracted them."~<br/><br/>Boyfriends also made it harder for Rich to make sure the actresses showed their gratitude to him for giving them their big breaks. Paul added.<br/><br/>~"Amy Stevens was her best friend. They acted like sisters."~<br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>"No, I'm not hurt. I'm pissed, but not hurt."<br/><br/>Shane assured Marie, he could hear in her voice her shock and that she was upset. Although he had no idea how deep her anger was running for his ex and the two men associated with her. If he did, he would have just spent the night in the jail fuming about the situation. Even being upset with Diane for playing along with Martin and Rich's plan, Shane still didn't want any harm to come to her.<br/><br/>"I..I just want to get out of here."<br/><br/>He really didn't know what Marie could actually bring him. Maybe she'd be able to help him convince the officers that they had no reason to hold him and let him go.<br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>Diane barely drank the champagne, before setting the glass down on the table. She felt like getting sick as she watched Martin and Rich celebrating like they had just scored a huge movie contract. Martin looked over at Diane and asked.<br/><br/>"Diane? You feeling okay?"<br/><br/>She did look pale. Martin was good at acting like he cared. That's why he was a high in demand actor. After what happened to Shane, Diane wasn't in the mood to deal with Martin pretending he cared. Diane replied.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I'm just tired...It's been a long day. I think I might just go to bed."<br/><br/>Martin nodded his head, accepting her answer. He wasn't ready to go to sleep yet. The night was still young. He could go see Pierre again, though. He'd have some more fun and Diane could get some sleep. In the morning, she'd feel better about what happened to her ex.<br/><br/>"Well, you do that. I'll head out for a hours and be very quiet when I come back, so I don't wake you."<br/><br/>"Okay, I appreciate that."<br/><br/>Diane told Martin, glad he was going to leave. She didn't want to be near him right now. She had no idea where he was going and right now, she didn't give a shit either. She just wanted to be alone. Rich downed his glass and said.<br/><br/>"Sleep well, Diane. I'm going to go 'celebrate'."<br/><br/>Rich said with a grin, hoping his Italian Goddess was ready for an encore.
