Officer Mike Dietz walks into Huntington Memorial Hospital. He walks over to the information desk and ask the clerk to page a Dr. Diego Serrano. The clerk complies.

Diego who was not far from the information desk walks up to Mike

Diego

"Mike, what is going on?"

Mike

"There was a body brought in here tonight from TC Hotel. I need to get an i.d. on the woman as well as an autopsy done.'

Diego

"Follow me to the morgue. I have all the info you need."

Lauren , with her good friend Kevin burst into the e.r. and Lauren immediately approaches a nurse

"Please tell me you have some information about Daniel Cosgrove!"

Nurse

"I'm sorry I can only give information to immediately family. You are-..?"

Lauren(Lying)

"His wife!"

The nurse rolls her eyes at Lauren as she looks in her computer.

"Mr. Cosgrove is still in emergency surgery. That's all we know at this time. Why don't you have a seat and I am you should hear something soon?"

Lauren fights back tears as Kevin holds her.

"Kevin this can't be happening. I really do love him. Daniel has his faults but he doesn't deserve to die."

Kevin

"Just pray Lauren. God will take care of it."

Down in the morgue.

Mike looks over the dead woman.

Diego

"The autopsy did not show anything. I have already ran her fingers prints, and her name was Mona Lisa."

Mike

"Mona Lisa? That's strange.And no signs of a struggle?"

Diego

" Well It seems she was pushed from the window at TC hotel. There are bruises on the body indicating a struggle did take place."

Mike

"This woman was murdered. OK Thanks Dr. Serrano. One more thing. I need to talk to a Daniel Cosgrove so can you see to it that you call down to the station as soon as he can talk."

Diego

"Will do. Now if you'll excuse me I have patients to see." Diego leaves and so does Mike.

Affairs

In West Wood Park, Bryan's House

Bryan holds Ashley back as she tries to physically attack Sabryn.

"Calm Down Ash! There is no need to fight!"

Sabryn

"Exactly! I don't need to fight over no man."

Ashley

"Well fine." She regains her composure. "Bryan choose! Who do you want me or her?"

Bryan on the spot again just looks at Sabryn and Ashley dumbfounded.

Mystery

Huntington Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Serrano walks into the chapel. He sees Lauren and Kevin praying. He clears his throat.

"Excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt."

Lauren and Kevin both immediately gets up and approach the doctor.

Lauren

"It's OK. Please tell me you have news on Daniel. Is he OK?"

Diego hesitates before answering.

"Daniel is.....-"

Back in Westwood Park.

Ashley

"So Ryan, or whatever the hell your calling yourself, choose, either you want me or Sabryn."

Sabryn

"Let me make it easier for everyone involved. It's obvious Bryan, which is his real name by the way, made his choice when he slept with," Looking at Ashley firmly. "I will not be with some one who is a lair, a cheater, a deceiver, or a heart breaker. I deserve much better. SO Bryan you can be with Miss Blue Light Special. Love don't live here no more." Sabryn grabs her purse and leaves as Bryan tries to stop her

Bryan

"Sabryn, wait!!!!.... I love you!!!.. Please don't go!!!"

To no avail Sabryn skids out of Bryan's drive way

Mike walks in to prayer chapel after seeing Diego do the same thing. They all await for Diego's word on Daniel.

Lauren'

"Dr. Serrano please! Don't keep me in suspense. How is Daniel?"

Diego

"Mr. Cosgrove pulled through the emergency surgery."

Lauren exhales. The doctor continues.

" He was shot point black in the chest. A few inches from his heart. We were successfully able to remove the bullet, but he's now on a ventilator and has slipped into a coma. Frankly, I don't know when or even if he will wake up. And if he does, there might brain damage. Daniel was dead for a couple of minutes."

Lauren really breaks down and Kevin continues to console her.

Mike whispers in Kevin's ear

"I'm going to Daniels car to collect evidence. So wait a little bit before you take her back home. Also, tell her that I will need to question her as soon as possible." Kevin nods his head as Mike leaves.

Attack

West wood Park.

Ashley(looking at Bryan)

"You son of a Bitch! ...You told me you love me too!... You can't love two woman Bryan!... So tell me, who were you going to choose any way?"

Bryan

"To be honest Ash, I was going to choose Sabryn. My heart belongs to her. I love her."

Ashley(wiping tears)

"But you told me you loved me too? Telling me everything I wanted to hear. Whispering sweet nothings for what Bryan?.... To get in my panties!?"

Bryan

"Ashley I am so sorry for dragging you into this. I apologize for hurting you..... I'm sorry..... I don't love you. This was just a lust thing. I was being selfish in pleasuring my sex drive."

Ashley

"You're not sorry!. You played me form day one. You knew what you were doing. The only reason I found out is because you got caught. Were you ever going to tell me the truth Bryan!!!?..You led me to believe we had something really going on. Like we were working towards something. You have made a fool of me."

Bryan

"Ashley I really am sorry. You are a great person. You were there in my time of need. I hope we can remain friends."

Ashley is shocked at Bryan's non-shalanting of the situation. Brushing off her feelings like its nothing. Suddenly, Ashley grabs Bryan's crotch and begins to yank on it. Bryan lets out a girly scream. Bryan is paralyzed from such sever pain he cannot attempt to fight off Ashley's firm grip on his nuts.!

Ashley, looks him dead in the face.

"You used me for sex! You have made me feel low, like a common hor. But rest assured you will pay for this. Pay backs are Bitch!" She touts as she yanks his crotch even harder, then hocker's in his face. Ashley grabs her clothes, and things and leaves Bryan's house. Bryan collapses to the ground.
