Rich thought his first idea was a good plan. Just kill the maids who had seen Diane's face. They were just maids, it wasn't like too many people would miss them. Although Martin and Diane refused to even consider that. So he ended up smoking another cigarette as he thought some more.<br/><br/>Rich wasn't sure why, but he thought back at how auditions for would be co-stars to Martin went. He remembered a girl that had really slapped Martin's stunt double. What the hell was her name? Anne, Amanda, Amy? He couldn't remember, not that it mattered. He remembered the scene he always had the girls read. It was a fight and ended with the female saying it was over. He looked at Diane and grinned.<br/><br/>"I got it and this time I don't think you'll object."<br/><br/>Diane didn't like the look Rich gave her, while Martin wondered what the hell his agent was thinking.<br/><br/>"What is it?"<br/><br/>Diane asked.<br/><br/>"We say Shane did it."<br/><br/>"Shane?"<br/><br/>Diane said, not liking that idea. Martin frowned, he vaguely remembered Shane. He had been Diane's boyfriend, but he wasn't very rich.<br/><br/>"How's that going to work? He's in America."<br/><br/>"No, he's here. In this hotel, I've seen him."<br/><br/>Rich said and Martin was surprised. He hadn't expected that his wife's ex would be here. He remembered that Shane had loved Diane a lot. Paul had to tell him to get lost a few times. Shane hadn't taken the break up well.<br/><br/>"I'm not sure..."<br/><br/>Diane mumbled, but Rich thought he had a perfect idea.<br/><br/>"You never told them who hit you, right?"<br/><br/>Diane shook her head.<br/><br/>"Of course not."<br/><br/>She wasn't that stupid. Rich was pleased.<br/><br/>"Then we tell them that Shane did it. He was angry you dumped him. He can't accept it is over. He tried to steal you back. You fought back but he hit you when you wouldn't go."<br/><br/>Diane bit her lip, she didn't like the idea at all. Shane wasn't like that, he had never hurt her. He was a good man. While she knew she couldn't be with him anymore, that didn't mean she wanted to ruin his life. Martin, however, thought it was good idea.<br/><br/>"I think that will work. I could go confront him and punch him for touching my wife."<br/><br/>"Exactly and make it a big scene. So the whole hotel sees."<br/><br/>Rich replied, happy that Martin saw things his way.<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>Paul hoped that Colette wouldn't be in trouble. Although he'd never have a romantic interest in her, he did care about her. He smiled when he saw the chocolates.<br/><br/>~"A little bit. It's not fair that you already know my weakness."~<br/><br/>He said as a joke. He did love chocolate. Although he wouldn't help but be worried about her. He had feeling whoever sent the note was a dangerous person.<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>It was nice to spend time with Marie. She was very motherly and made Shane miss home less. He nodded his head at her reply about the discount. He could definitely see Marie offering to help out in exchange for the discount. That was the type of person she was.<br/><br/>Shane hoped he would like the food. He wasn't too concerned about the cost. He doubted that Marie would have taken him to a place that was too expensive.<br/><br/>"I'm not worried."<br/><br/>He replied with a smile. When she asked how he was feeling, Shane sighed.<br/><br/>"I'm torn...I saw her, my ex. She's in the hotel, with her new husband."<br/><br/>As Shane said the word husband, he said it in disgust. Martin didn't deserve to be her husband.<br/><br/>"You know, Marie, if she said she was in love, I could let her go. I could accept we were over. Or if she said she wasn't sure if it was love, but she was happy. I would accept it, eventually. I mean, I love Diane but, I'd let her go. Because I know if you truly love someone you want them to be happy even if it wasn't with you. But..."<br/><br/>He trailed off and was glad he had Marie to talk to. It felt good to get this off his chest. To talk to someone he felt he could trust. He looked up at her.<br/><br/>"She doesn't love him. She married him because he pays her father's gambling debts. I know she loves her dad but he has problems...She told me she still loved me, but she won't leave him. Even though Martin hit her. I....I just don't know what to do. I can't go home knowing that she's with a man that....He doesn't even deserve to be called a man. A real man doesn't hit a woman."<br/><br/>Shane truly believed that.<br/><br/>"I can't force her to leave him but I can't just let her stay where she could get hurt again."
