Outside of Mike's Pub

Ty rolls down the window of his limo, and motions for Ashley to join him. She gets in the limo.

Ty

"Thank you for rushing down here. And for your services, I already told you that I owe you so name your price."

Ashley pauses and thinks carefully,

"Well I don't really need any money. I do well for myself down at the tv station. And my sister own her own fashion house So I am well off...... So what I would really like is to have Bryan."

Ty (intrigued)

"Bryan?"

Ashley

"Yes sir. I love him but Sabryn is trying to steal him away from me. I can't let that happen."

Ty

"I see..... OK. Meet me at my mansion in 1 hour. I will have something for you."

Ashley (wondering what he got up his sleeve)

"Great. I'll see you in an hour." She gets out Ty's limo, ecstatic that she is about to get an ally in her campaign to acquire Bryan. You are now reading,

Huntington Memorial Hospital

Ty is outside of Daniel's room

Ty takes another glance before placing his hand on the doorknob. He feels almost naked without a weapon. He wants to feel safe, but he shrugs it off and say that a hospital is probably the safest place in the world, but he's used to having protection and old habits die hard. He quietly presses against the door, and gains entry to Daniel's room.

He cannot help but think that his closest friend looks like a cyborg.

"We have what it takes to rebuild him, better than before." He said, in a booming, announcer voice. "Dan, you look like the six million dollar man."

Normally, he'd have expected a smile.

"Can you hear me in there?" he asks, "they say hearing's the last thing to go, you know… so, I'm gonna talk to you like you can hear me, and if not I'm talkin' to myself. I'm about crazy enough." He laughs at his own joke, and then sighs.

"Look man, any time you want to snap out of it and come to, I'd really appreciate it. There's a lot going on right now. Mike is off our radar, I got him on tape stickin' it to some broad, but then there's still Abe Williams. Abe presents a problem, but I've got an idea that just might fix that.With you in this coma I don't know who I can trust , it's like an episode of twenty-four . You know, with Keifer Sutherland, everyone seems to be screwin' everyone over? I can't do this all by myself man. The only person that I can trust now is Mona.. Well, anyway I think we can trust Mona. She hasn't given us a reason not to, but I don't know yet. Still have to tread lightly."

He waits, looking carefully for some sign of motion. Seeing nothing, he continues,

"And I'm still working on Jennifer. I'll have her Danny Boy because I always get what I want. And, I want you to be all right so you better get on it, that's an order buddy. Seriously – I mean someone was a dumb fool to think I'd believe you tried to off yourself. First of all you're the most stubborn prick I know. You wouldn't be killing yourself, someone would have to snuff you right out, they tried but they didn't do a very good job. Besides, man if you wanted yourself dead, you'd be dead right now. You've never missed a shot. All I need is you to wake the hell up and we can keep going like nothing even happened. I'm waiting man – I – " he paused, running out of words to say. Overcome with emotion, he pushes the chair from the bed. He grips one of his friend's lifeless hands;

"You ain't cold yet you crazy bastard, and you're everything I got. Would you mind waking the hell up?"

He left, for fear that had he stayed, he would have began to weep for Ty is one never to loose his suave cool..

Downtown Pasadena, S.G. Fashion House.

Sharan walks into Sabryn's office.

Sabryn

"Sharan, it's so good to see you." Sabryn greets her by hugging her.

Sharan

"It's good to see you too. How are you?"

Sabryn

"I'm fine, How are you? I read in the paper that apparently someone rammed Kevin's car door off. What was all that about?"

Sharan

"I have no idea. It was so chilling and crazy The car came out of no where. That was a very strange night. From the murder at TC Hotel.(She thinks of the strange pink roses she received that, not wanting to bear any fruit to it,or to even thing that some how it was all connected since nothing else strange has happened she shrugs it off) Right after that happened, we hear a gunshot in the distance. To find out, Daniel tried to commit suicide."

Sabryn

"Wow I am so sorry to hear that. That is one night that should not have happened. So sad. And I thought my problems were bad."

Sharan (intrigued)

"Problems? Sabryn, it's been a while since we talked. Is everything OK? Is it Bryan?"

Sabryn pauses, trying to keep her composure, holding back tears

"Look, I don't want to talk about it." She turns away to wipe the free flowing tears, changes the subject.

"I thought Dondre was supposed to be here to. Oh, and thank you for meeting me so late. We really need to launch this new clothing line Elegante'. I have a lot invested in this venture."

Sharan

"Don't do that Sabryn."

Sabryn

"Do what?"

Sharan

"Deflecting the real question. It's obvious something is tearing you up inside. Now you know we have always been good friends. You can tell me what's bothering you. Get it off your chest."

Sabryn, getting irritated, rolling her eyes

"Sharan, yes we are very good friends. I have never questioned that. I don't want to disrespect you in any way. I need you on this Elegante' line. I really want us to focus on that. So I would really appreciate if you would not bring up my personal life. Now I am not being rude. Talking about what is going on in my life on is not in my plan to move forward. I am dealing with everything my way. So the sooner you understand that, the faster this launch can be advantageous for all parties involved."

Sharan, taken a back, nods her head

"I can respect that. No offense taken. I was just lending an ear. It's still hear if you ever need it." She smiles

Sabryn

"Thanks Sharon I really appreciate it. When I talk about it, I want to be able to add to the story that I have overcome this obstacle and I have prospered" She says as she hugs Sharon, warming up the icy waters.

Sharan

"You're right, Dondre was supposed to meet us here. I called his cell and left him a message. I haven't heard back. That's not like him. Let me try again" She pulls out her phone and calls Dondre again wondering why he hasn't contacted her back yet.

You are about to witness an amazing event,

It's happens in West wood Park,

From less than one hour ago, after exposing Mike's affair to all of Pasadena, reporter for WMLC tv station, Ashley creeps to the back of Bryan's house to do a surveillance check. She sees Bryan's car is in the garage and She also sees, Bryan's house is dark, which means A ) He's sleep, or B ) He's in there with Sabryn.

"Either way it goes, someone is going to die tonight" Ashley says in her head as she looks in her purse to make sure her knife is still there after grabbing it this morning before leaving her house. Ashley gets closer to Bryan's window and can hear that he's snoring. Ashley pops her head in the window, she sees the coast is clear for her easy yet discreet entry, she climbs in the window, trying not to wake Bryan, with her knife in her hand. Once the task is successfully completed, she gathers her bearings, and creeps towards the bed, gently laying onto the bed and eventually laying next to Bryan. Facing him, she takes the knife and jabs it into his face, drawing blood.

"AHHH!!!" Bryan wakes up and is startled, heart racing intensely. Having been in a deep sleep he gains sense of what is going on around him. He looks at a smiling Ashley.

"Ashley!!"

Ashley

"Did I wake you lover?"

Bryan

"What the hell is your problem? You cut me!!"

Ashley

"So what!! You cheated on me, so what's the difference?"

Bryan

"Look Ashley, there is no need for this non sense. I told you I apologize, and didn't mean to play with your emotions."

Ashley

"And what am I supposed to? Just forget how I feel about you. Put aside how you make me feel when we make love. Go on as if nothing ever existed between us?"

Bryan

"I said we could be friends" He says as he gets up to put some boxers on, since he sleeps in the nude. Ashley out of anger, throws the knife at him and it pierces Bryan's skin, bouncing off his back.

Bryan

"You're crazy. You need to get your weapons and get the hell out of my house!"

Ashley

"I am crazy!!" She says getting up and walking towards him. " I am crazy for you. I love you.You're all I think about night and day." She says pleading with him.

Bryan

"Ashley, I already told you I love Sabryn."

Ashley

"Wrong answer!" She says as she gets up in his face. Bryan is now a bit nervous.....

"Real talk Bryan, Once you hit this, you never quit this. You best believe that. I don't know what type of woman Sabryn is, but I'm not her, and we are going to do things differently. My way, and there is no highway. Well, I'll make an exception, highway to hell, because I'll kill you if you be with another woman. If I find out, you still laying down the pipe to Sabryn, I'll use this knife and cut that big d!ck of yours off and shove it down your throat. Than you can gag on it for once and see how I feel when you push my head on it to put it down my throat, you won't like it. I don't want you to cease all contact with Sabryn. Don't contact her in-person, by mail, a text message, a telegraph, a pigeon, or not even a smoke signal.You got the wrong Bitch if you think your going to play me Ryan, I mean Bryan." She kisses him on the cheek.

"I'll be over in the morning. Nothing like some great sex to get the day started right. So have it ready, You know what,.... hell, don't even piss when you wake up, I love it when it's rock hard" Ashley hugs Bryan and than leaves his house.

Bryan

"What the hell have I gotten myself into? She's nuts. There's no telling what that psycho is going to do next"
