The whole of Los Angeles couldn't get over the show Stephen McIntyre put up the previous night, everywhere he went the press followed, asking him questions of which he made no comment, all social media platforms had video clips of the eventful night of Steve McIntyre and Natalia Vega.

He hurried into his office paying no attention to the press's questions, he sat on his chair pondering on the entire rollercoaster ride, how little the world is and how deep the heart of humans can be, he didn't know how to face his fiancé after running out on her, leaving her in the middle of nowhere, "I'm such a fool!!" he grunted as he slammed his left palm on his forehead. If it hadn't been for Bryce and his bold confessions, Natalia would've gotten away with her crimes. He began think about what would've happened if he hadn't met Bryce at Lana's house, apparently Bryce came to pay Diane a visit but he didn't meet her there and at the same time Steve was also there in hopes he'll meet Lana so they'll make up and move on to planning their future together but unfortunately Lana was also not at home, at that time she was at the hospital with Diane.

Flashback.....

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Steve: *knocking on the door* please open up, I'm sorry for leaving, I was upset, let's talk about this please, Lana??? Sweetie???

Bryce: I don't think anyone's at home, the curtains are closed and she only does that when she's not in

Steve: Pardon? Who are you and what are you doing here?!

Bryce: Chill dude...... I'm here for her friend Diane.... average height, dark skin, chestnut brown eyes.....

Steve: Oh.... yeah....ok....

Bryce: You look worn out, had a fight with missus I see......

Steve: *stays silent*

Bryce: I know you...... You're that dude, Richy McTrustfund *laughs* I've seen you on the news a couple of times

Steve: Can I help you? *frowning*

Bryce: I think what you meant to say is..... "How can I help you" *stretches an arm for a handshake* I'm Bryce

Steve: *Didn't honor the handshake*  *pauses for a moment*  Pardon?!

Bryce: What if I tell you I know what's going on between you and your girlfriend and I know what you can do to make it all better....... buy me a drink and maybe..... just maybe, I'll tell you, what do you say? Don't judge a book by its cover, I know you more than you think

Steve: *frowns* I don't know who the hell you are or what you're up to but let me give you a heads up.......do not let my gentleman appearance fool you, now get outta here!!!

Bryce: Do not trust your personal assistant so much, you don't really know her

Steve: Excuse me?

Bryce: All I asked for is a drink..... Bourbon's my favorite

Steve: *Takes a dramatic pause* Make it fast?

Bryce: By all means please!! I know a nice place down at Centro Avenue

Steve: Davey Wayne's??

Bryce: Oh you know it too? I think we'll get along just fine

Steve: *scoffs* Get in.....

Bryce: *gets in the car*

Steve: *starts driving* So are you going to tell me what's all this about? You're not fucking with me are you?

Bryce: I don't see a bourbon in this car

Steve: so??

Bryce: So until I have my drink...... I'm not spilling nothing.... I brought this up.......if I wasn't going to tell you, I wouldn't be in your car right now but before I tell you anything, I want that drink you promised..... *laughs slightly*

Steve: Ok then..... *pulls up his car* We're here!

Bryce: Oohhh..... I've almost forgotten how pretty girls swarm this place, good to be back!

Steve: I see...... order for anything you want, it's on me

Bryce: Uh..... Obviously!!

Waiter: I'll be your waiter for today sir, what will you be having

Steve: I'll have the bourbon on rocks, two rocks please

Waiter: Alright sir..... And what will you be having sir?

Bryce: I'll also have the bourbon, no rocks please and a shrimp cocktail..... or wait, I'll have the seafood platter instead

Waiter: Alright sir...... I'll be with your orders shortly

Steve: So...... I'm all ears......I'm sorry I didn't get your name.... what's your name again?

Bryce: BRYCE!! My name is Bryce! And I do not see a bourbon on my table yet....

Steve: I'm serious..... what is this about....

Bryce: Alright fine! I believe we can help each other..... I need my freedom and you need your girlfriend back

Steve: Ok..... I knew you were full of shit! I'm leaving!! *Drops a hundred dollars bill on the table and stands up*

Bryce: No man I'm serious, please sit down!! Natalia isn't who you think she is!! You gotta be careful

Steve: What do you mean?

Bryce: I work for her...... I do her dirty work and believe me I've done a lot, I don't want to do them anymore but I don't really have choice........ she has dirt on me and with one phone call I'll be taking the big bus down to the big house!

Steve: What? What does she do?

Bryce: First of all she's obsessed with you and she hates your fiancé because of that, she thinks after working under you for so long, she's the one who deserves to be with you and it has gotten her to a point of total insanity, I'm certain she's the reason you both have problems now, she's been trying a lot of things to separate you both, she once told me to kill Lana your fiancé but when I saw her I recognized her, I knew her back in New Jersey, she was dating my friend back then, Freddie.....

Steve: Freddie Levi???

Bryce: You know him??

Steve: Yeah!!! ...... We were friends from way back..... I know he's dead, my fiancé..... my ex fiancé....... never mind it's complicated!!!

Bryce: Wow...... this has to be the wild card Natalia was talking about .....Well I'm just gonna drop the bomb on ya! That's what I promise so.........Natalia killed him..... she poisoned his cappuccino with an overdose of opium, the thing is Natalia was our boss, we were drug dealers, we worked under her and Freddie was about to bulge, so she killed him to shut him up, I didn't know until recently when we got into a little spat, she threatened to do the same to me, that's why we gotta get this psychopath, she has hurt a lot of people, you'll be avenging your friend and getting back with the woman you love, in-fact you'll be doing the whole world a favor

Steve: Natalia did what??!! but Lana told me she..... I don't believe this!!!

Bryce: She told you what??

Steve: I'm sorry I can't tell you that....

Bryce: You can trust me I'm on your side, we need every bit of information to take her down

Steve: Lana said she was the one that killed Freddie, it was an accident, he tried hurting her so she defended herself and in the process he died

Bryce: Ooohhh your girl fell victim..... he was already poisoned by Natalia and I don't blame her for trying to defend herself, he abused her a lot , I don't know why she tolerated him for that long, he did way too much drugs, fucked with his mind , Freddie was your best friend? Wow we are indeed in a small world! Look we need to bring her to justice!!! we need to get rid of her and I need your help to do that, that way I can have my freedom back and you can finally live in peace with the love of your life because trust me she will stop at nothing to separate you two and you'll be avenging your best friend at the same time! It's a win-win-win situation!

Steve: Lana mentioned something about Natalia being devious and up to something...... I didn't believe her but how do I know you're not lying to me, Natalia has been my employee for years, I just met you.... how am I sure you're not some kind of hobo trying to make a couple hundred dollars, if you want money just ask!

Bryce: You know what?? I'm going to prove to you that I'm telling you the truth, in less than  two hours, Natalia is going to call me to meet up with her, I have this spy glasses I got when she sent me on a mission, I'll record our entire conversation, maybe that will convince you! *phone rings* A-ha!!! Speak of the devil, she's the one calling me..... I'll put it on speaker phone...... Hello boss, what do I owe this pleasure.....

Natalia: I need you to get to my place post haste! We gotta celebrate!!!

Bryce: Wow...... what about?

Natalia: Just get here!!!! *hangs up*

Bryce: Did you hear that?? She has something to celebrate when you and your fiancé are not in good terms...... what does that tell you?

Steve: Maybe you are on to something....... Provide me with more proof to your story and I promise I'll help you bring her to justice, do we have a deal *stretches an arm for a handshake*

Bryce: Deal!! but first I need you to promise me I'll be safe, help me to help you? I know I helped her in the past but I only did that because she took me off the streets, do we have a deal?

Steve: Deal!
