~"I know you will."~<br/><br/>Paul replied to Colette with a smile. He was grateful for her help. She might be disappointed in him but at least they were still friends. Hopefully they could stop these people before someone got hurt. Rich should be brought to justice, but Paul wasn't God. Taking someone's life was playing God and Paul wouldn't do that.<br/><br/>He gave a laugh, but it wasn't joyful. It sounded more depressed instead.<br/><br/>~"You might want me to have the hotel send up some coffee. When I said I could write a book about Rich, I meant it. There's a lot to tell."~<br/><br/>Paul told her his friend sadly.<br/><br/>~"The first time I realized after Rich hired me as Martin's bodyguard that he wasn't an honest man, was when Diane brought him a bag. It was from a women's clothing store and told Rich it was the birthday gift he wanted for Raquel. The thing was, I was told Rich's wife was named Mary. He has two families."~<br/><br/>Two women who both thought they were his one and only. Two women who gave him children.<br/><br/>~"And even with the two families to juggle, he still has affairs. I've overheard him telling more then one would be actress to meet him in her trailer. And...I'm pretty sure it wasn't to go over her lines or her contract."~<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Marie was so sweet and kind, she definitely reminded Shane of his mother and grandmother. It made being in a foreign country all by himself not seem so lonely. Although he had no idea how dark her thoughts were going to convince Diane to leave Martin for her own good. If he did...He would have never agreed to her talking to his ex.<br/><br/>Shane forgot about taking a shower when Diane called. She sounded upset, maybe she had thought about what he and Paul had told her. That it didn't matter how much she loved her father, her safety was important too. Surely, her father wouldn't want her to stay married to man who hit her. Shane knew her dad, Walter Simcox, was a decent man. Even with his gambling problems.<br/><br/>Shane headed down to the café to wait for Diane. She didn't keep him waiting long. She looked upset and Shane got up from his seat when he saw her. He started to walk over to her.<br/><br/>"Diane? Are you-"<br/><br/>Shane stopped talking when he saw Martin right behind her. Martin looked angry and Diane was trying to look angry, but she seemed more upset than that. She didn't like how this was supposed to play out. Shane didn't realize it but Rich had followed them as well. He paid a teenage boy off the street to take some pictures again. He wanted some nice photos of this scene, he'd sell them with the story he planned to say. That Shane had hit Diane because he wouldn't accept that she was now happily married to Martin. Then Martin punched Shane to defend his beloved wife's honor. Martin was the hero and Shane was the villain of Rich's story.<br/><br/>"There is he is, dear. That's the man who hit me."<br/><br/>Diane told Martin, Shane looked at her in shock.<br/><br/>"What?! I never-"<br/><br/>Shane had never raised a hand against any woman in his life. He wasn't going to say he had always been a perfect boyfriend, no one was perfect, but he sure has hell never hit her. He got angry at what she said. Before he could defend himself, Martin cut him off.<br/><br/>"You son of a bitch! Don't you ever touch my wife again!"<br/><br/>Martin suddenly punched Shane in the jaw.<br/><br/>"Me? How about you don't touch her again?!"<br/><br/>Shane yelled back. His parents always told him and his siblings to never throw the first punch. Don't start a fight, but you sure as hell better finish it. Well, Martin threw the first punch. It was game on. Shane punched Martin back and his punch was a lot harder then the one Martin had thrown.<br/><br/>Martin was taken aback by it. He wasn't used to actually being hit. Sure, in some of his movies there were fight scenes. However, Sidney, his stunt double, did most of the work. Martin hadn't been in a real fight since before he had been discovered by Rich.<br/><br/>"Shut your fucking face!"<br/><br/>Martin yelled back, lunging at Shane now. They couldn't have Shane yelling that Martin was the one who had hit Diane instead. The truth could never come out. Only the truth Rich wanted people to know was that Martin was an awesome husband, defending his wife from her dangerous ex. Martin tackled Shane into a table, which broke under the weight of the two men. They two men began to fight in the café, throwing punches back and forth. Security, and possibly the police, would be needed to break them up.<br/><br/>Rich had the kid take lots of pictures, while Diane moved back, unsure who to really cheer for. Martin was her husband but she didn't agree with accusing Shane of hitting her. Even though she had done it because Rich and Martin told her to do it.
