Paul wasn't trying to justify Diane's behavior, or his own, when it came to Rich. He was just sure he understood where Diane was coming from. Although it hadn't been right to turn a blind eye to Rich's actions. Well, Paul couldn't change the past. All he could do was try to make things right now. Make sure no one else was hurt by Rich or whoever might be out to get the agent.<br/><br/>~"We can't change what happened. All we can do is stop anyone else from getting hurt."~<br/><br/>Paul gently reminded Colette. He was sure that if the French woman had her choice, she wouldn't care what happened to Diane. After all, Diane had done whatever Rich had wanted without question and was far more involved in the agent's affairs then Paul had ever been. Paul truly didn't think Diane was an awful person. She had just made some bad choices but she had done it out of love for her father.<br/><br/>Paul nodded his head when the chambermaid said she might take him up on the offer to write letters to Mary and Raquel. In all honesty, both women deserved to know the truth and know that Rich was making them both live a lie. And Paul agreed they needed to the guest list. He might recognize a name on it.<br/><br/>~"I know you can. I just don't want you to get in trouble."~<br/><br/>Paul replied to her a with a smile. He was sure if the hotel's management caught her with the guest list, she would be in trouble. There were probably people checked in that had wanted to keep it a secret. Paul waited patiently for her to return and was pleased to know she had no issues in getting the book.<br/><br/>~"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."~<br/><br/>Paul said, taking the book from her and beginning to look it over.<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>Shane was angry and having to 'behave' when he wasn't the one who had started it all, didn't help his attitude. He didn't want to stay the night in the station. He wasn't a criminal! But he realized if he didn't try to calm himself down, being here was going to be his fate. He took a deep breath and counted backwards from twenty in his head.<br/><br/>"Yes, I will go quietly."<br/><br/>Shane replied to the older officer. He was glad they would at least let him make a phone call.<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>"You're welcome. Good night."<br/><br/>Martin replied to the manager. Happy that the hotel believed his story. Of course, the hotel wanted to save face and having them not believe a famous movie star would be bad for business. He told the front desk to send up a bottle of their finest champagne while he waited for the doctor to come up. He wanted to make sure his injuries were treated right away. After all, part of his success came from his looks. And he and Rich had to toast that their plan had went perfectly.<br/><br/>Diane, who wasn't as thrilled as her husband or his agent about the night, followed Martin without question.
