Rich and Martin both believed that framing Shane was a perfect idea. They'd just have to find where he was staying in the hotel and make him out to be the villain of their story. It would all work out. Diane didn't want to have anything to do with it. Shane was a good man. Of course, she didn't have a say. Rich said to them.<br/><br/>"All right, I'm going to figure out where he is staying. Can I trust you two alone?"<br/><br/>Rich hoped he didn't have to babysit the actor and the wife. Martin replied.<br/><br/>"We'll be fine."<br/><br/>Diane nodded her head in agreement and Rich hoped that they were both telling the truth. He headed down to the lobby, after Diane told him what Shane's full name was. He walked up the receptionist and said.<br/><br/>"Hi, I was hoping you could help me. I just found out an old friend of mine is here, in the hotel. His name is Shane Malone. Could you tell me what room he is staying in?"<br/><br/>-------------------<br/><br/>Diane hated telling Rich what Shane's full name was. Rich could barely remember Shane's first name. After all, the man, until just now, had been unimportant to the agent. She felt sick to her stomach about the whole situation.<br/><br/>Martin looked over at Diane.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry about what we have to do, but we really don't have a choice."<br/><br/>Diane sighed.<br/><br/>"Yeah...What done is done."<br/><br/>She sounded defeated and Martin frowned.<br/><br/>"Did you know he was here?"<br/><br/>Diane didn't see the point of lying to her husband and replied.<br/><br/>"Yes...I saw him...He wanted me to go back to him."<br/><br/>"What did you say?"<br/><br/>Martin asked and Diane said.<br/><br/>"I told him no. You are my husband. For better or for worse."<br/><br/>Right now was definitely for worse. Martin smiled a little, happy she had refused to go back to Shane. This would make the frame job a little easier.<br/><br/>"Until death do us part."<br/><br/>He added and Diane nodded her head. That was their vows and while they would never physically consummate their marriage, she would honor those parts of it.<br/><br/>-------------------<br/><br/>~"I suppose you do."~<br/><br/>Paul replied with a small smile at the joke. He just hoped Colette wouldn't get in any trouble sniffing around about the note. He nodded his head to her.<br/><br/>~"You're right...Something bad is going on. I haven't done anything terrible that I can think of to anyone. But...Rich, Martin's agent, he isn't a nice guy. He's ruined lots of people's lives who've crossed him."~<br/><br/>He could write a book about all the horrible things Rich had done to people. It wouldn't be a nice read either. He thought he'd spare Colette the details, though.<br/><br/>~"Perhaps I'm guilty by association in this person or persons' minds."~<br/><br/>-------------------<br/><br/>It was hard for Shane to talk about Diane. He never should have let her go. It had been a mistake. Especially now that he knew how her marriage truly was. It was easy to talk to Marie, though. She felt safe to him. Like what he said, wouldn't be used against him. She felt like family.<br/><br/>Shane hadn't given last names, he had attempted to protect Diane's privacy a little. He had no idea that Marie already knew who he was talking about. He was too distracted by his thoughts to notice that Marie's eyes had went wide during his confession. He assumed her concern expression was just worry for another woman's safety.<br/><br/>"You could try but...She might not like it."<br/><br/>He replied to Marie's offer of talking to Diane.
