Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Fairmont Royal York Hotel

Lucas Matthews-Friar

It was still dark outsite on a chilly night in Toronto as Lucas looked out into the distance with a cup of coffee in his hand as he took a small sip. Today was the day, he was going to take down Urijah Samson. He knew he needed to be quiet and precise to not screw this up. After finishing his cup of coffee, he went to the gym in the hotel for a quick 30 minute cardio workout on the Eliptical Machine. After his quick cardio workout, he stretched for about another half hour as he began to prep his mind for what he was about to do on his own. He knew how to get the Lion's Den Staff off his back, he just needed to make sure he was armed at some capacity.

It was about 6am now as everyone was beginning to wake up. They all had breakfast together as they got out and went for a quick walk to Fran's Restaurant, not too far from the hotel. It was still quite chilly as they took a booth as people began to flood in as the rush hour breakfast service began. Lucas decided to put up his hood from his sweater out of fear people would recognize him. The waitress came by with their mugs with coffee to each person taking their coffee differently.

"So what's on the agenda today, boss?" Caleb asked Lucas.

"For today, you guys are going to be taking a tour of the Scotiabank Arena and you will meet Mr. Gertler at the Staff Entrance and you guys will have a meeting with Tour Management because there will be a thorough rehersal and run through the stage directions with Shawn. That way everybody knows the plan of how the show will go from start to finish. With everything considered, rehersal should be done in about 5 hours." Lucas answered Caleb as he looked to Jasmine and Angel for leadership starting now.

"So Caleb and I will take care of what is happening front of house and near the stage, Larissa and Angel will run backstage." Jasmine told everyone.

"Everyone ok with that arrangement?" Lucas asked the group.

They all nodded their heads in agreement as their waiter came to their table as they placed their order.

Lucas was really happy to see Jasmine and Angel taking charge now, it would be great for there to be more help with supervisors and leadership positions since Lion's Den is growing at a steady rate. Although Lucas is thankful to be taking a step back from working in the field, he sometimes misses the being around his coworkers and being on the road. He looked on his phone with the screensaver showed a picture of him, Riley and, Odin together at the front of their home in Hollywood Hills. Lucas knows he shouldn't text Riley just yet. It would still be 3:30am in Los Angeles.

The group got comfortable ready for what the day had in store for them. It was clear to Lucas now, this was a vert capable group of people that can and will come together to complete their job and perform exceptionally well. This group will help keep the company growing as far as its security portion. As they all enjoyed their breakfast together Jasmine, Angel and, Lucas gave Caleb and Larissa more knowledge about the Security business and how their transition to Private Security has allowed them to have more downtime but still being able to travel the world, make good money and still allow them to transition to civilian life much easier. They even explained the origins of Lion's Den Protection to them. The reason for Lion's Den existence helping discharged soldiers have jobs in various fields which has done the former soldiers a lot of good and have had letters and emails sent to them from the families of former soldiers thanking them helping their loved ones transition back.

Their food arrived as they enjoyed having breakfast together as Caleb and Larissa were able to feel more comfortable with the veterans. Lucas would be the one to pay for the group before the left the restaurant together.

As the group returned to the hotel, they all got ready for rehersal and sound checks to prepare for the upcoming tour that would begin in a few days. Lucas knew the time was approaching to bust Urijah. Lucas knew that the element of surprise was in his favor as he was the last one to shower. He began to visualize how his operation would go, precise, quiet and, clean. He smuggled in some zip ties and a pick with him to help him out. Those would be the only tools for success today.

He got Odin ready with a bulletproof vest and on top of that would be his safety vest. For this mission, Lucas knew he had no weapons with him, so he would have to rely on his quick wit and intelligence to win the day. As he got in the driver's seat, he slowly began to build up anxiety as he did his best to not reveal his own plans as he dropped off the others at the arena.

"What time do you guys think you will be done at?" Lucas asked Jasmine and Angel hoping they know.

"Maybe sometime arond 3 or 4 in the afternoon, we are going through all the acts and all the songs." Angel said having pulled out his copy of the set list.

""Good man. I will go refill this puppy with gas. I will see you guys back at the hotel." Lucas said as he put the van in gear.

"Lots of office work little brother?" Jasmine asked him since that is all he's been doing for the most part since they landed in Toronto.

"Still got work to do. I'll see you guys soon." Lucas said as he drove off and got onto the highway close by as he began to a city near Toronto called: Mississauga.

As Lucas got off the highway and proceeded to his target's address, he took in the wonderful apartments in the downtown core of Mississauga highlighted by the mall: Square One and City Hall just a short walk away. However there was no time for sightseeing, he had business to attend to. It was about 8:45 am as he parked the van in an underground parking lot leaving it on the second floor of the lot as he made the walk very discreetly to the apartment complex before entering the building with Odin right behind him. He had remembered what floor Urijah resides in and on what apartment number he lives at as he made his way to the 10th floor.

While on the elevator, his anxiety grew as he took a deep breath to calm down and settle his mind as he looked up to check what floor the elevator was climbing as the elevator just passed the 6th floor. He was focused and he was ready. He looked at Odin who was calm about the situation.

"We got this bud, one more time," Lucas said to Odin as the older German Sheppard was sitting down slightly panting.

The doors finally opened up as they reached the 10th floor, Lucas made sure to put on the hood from his jacket as he took a right and walked down the hall before reaching the apartment as Lucas was able to pick the lock with a pick he brought with him and smuggled with him on his luggage.

He opened the door as he and Odin entered and began to explore Urijah's apartment before he comes back. He is scheduled to be back at approximately 12 pm since he was a student at a nearby college. He looked at his desktop and had photos of Riley that were definitely from the photoshoot as he also had an app online to help assist with photoshopping. "Is he going to attempt something soon and try to ruin her career even more?" Lucas thought.

As he continued his search, he made his way to Urijah's room where he found a pretty empty room with the exception of a wooden dresser, nightstand, possibly a queen size bed, desk and, closet. He searched the room if anything could give him a clue as to how Urijah was able to hack Riley's photos and leak them online. As he searched and searched, Lucas knew he was running out of time. He needed to dig faster and faster in order to prove that Urijah is the one who leaked Riley's photos. He searched underneath the mattress and placed his hand under it in hopes of finding something until his right hand found a piece of paper that felt like it was folded. He pulled the sheet of paper from the mattress as he unfolded it and begin to read it, the letter contained the following message.

Dear Urijah,

You're now my trump card and I knew I could count on you if anything went bad. We had great memories together at culinary school and even though it felt like it was only a day, the memories we have together are memories and experiences I will cherish forever. If by someway or somehow I end up going to jail or am dead because of my dumbass and gullible girlfriend Riley, I want you to leak photos of her that I have taken of her even since our days in high school. If she ends up destroying my reputation, I will bring her down with me. Use anything you want. You can even keep up to date with what she is doing, if she ends up having another boyfriend after me, you have to expose him too. This will cause a fight between them both and drive each other to hate each other. There are also photos I have of her that I have in a USB Key that I took without her noticing for instance, the first time she went skinny dipping based on a dare from Maya and she obviously used the excuse of "Ring Power" to get Riley to strip down. God that was a great night! The first time I saw Riley fully nude.

Urijah, I need you to promise me that if I go down because of her, you will avenge me. If she ruins my career, we will ruin hers. As we go our separate ways and hearing you got offered a full-time position to be the Sous Chef of an upcoming Chef in the heart of Toronto, I couldn't be anymore happier for you. I hope you do great and get Michelin Stars of your own one day and be recognized as a fantastic chef. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Inside this letter, I leave the USB Key. Hide it somewhere safe and where nobody will find it. Should the contingency plan need to be put in place one day, you know what to do.

Thank You and Good Luck,

-Charlie Gardner

Lucas' rage boiled. Urijah was part of Charlie Gardner's contingency plan and the plan was, to ruin Riley's career. He vowed, that Urijah will go down and be put away in jail. He didn't care how the job would get done as long as it did get done. He checked his watch as it revealed that the time was 11:39am. He had about 20 minutes to go until Urijah is supposed to arrive at the apartment.

Lucas sat on a seat just in front of the front door. He waited for Urijah to enter with Odin sitting next to him. The apartment was clean from any damage he caused in order to get in. The only thing needed to be done was to wait. Wait for him to walk in through that door. The last few days have given Riley the worst, she was taunted, bullied and laughed at. Before he could get lost in thought, the sound of keys being inserted into the lock brought him back to reality. The main door opened and Lucas clenched his jaw.

His eyes met his and he stopped in his tracks. Something told Lucas that he could've run for it, but instead, he opted to close the door.

"You're smarter than I thought," he informed Lucas.

Lucas didn't move an inch. He was so angry and the rush of adrenaline was enough to make him lose his cool.

"You were just easier to find," Lucas taunted. "I know about Charlie, culinary school, that's how you guys met."

Urijah took a step back and quickly opened the door to the apartment, as soon as Odin sensed his motive he chased after him.

Odin caught just a few steps out and with the help of Lucas, they brought him back into his own home.

"How'd you do it?" Lucas questioned. "...hack into the camera-the photoshoot?"

"Charlie put me up to this just shortly after Culinary School. He was at that paranoid conspiracy theorist mindset stage and never trusted anything about the government especially the FBI." Urijah began taking shallow breaths. "He knew how fake people in Hollywood were and the elite in Hollywood is as shady as they can be," Urijah answered completing Lucas' question.

"And how did you know about the photoshoot?" Lucas asked.

"Can't you see? You two are A-listers. Everything about you guys is out in the open. If Kim-a famous businesswoman-can get held a gunpoint, I can certainly hack into a few systems," Urijah told Lucas. He was taken aback by the revelation.

"Who told you?" Lucas asked with his fury in his words.

"Like hell, I'll tell you!" Urijah raised his voice in defiance. He grunted in pain as Lucas' foot met his stomach.

Urijah grunted and stood on his knees struggling to breathe for air.

"Tell me how," he began as his arms wrapped around his neck. "And if you don't, I will kill you right here, right now."

Urijah felt the squeeze on his throat and once it was too much for him to handle, he tapped out.

"I know a guy," came the answer.

"What kind of guy?" Lucas asked him.

"A guy that works in the media with the tabloids. We became friends after I cooked his birthday dinner at the restaurant I was working at during We Day." Urijah admitted.

Once the truth was out, Lucas sauntered back to the couch he was sitting on and picked up his phone. He stopped the recorder he used to record the entire conversation and walked back to Urijah.

Lucas brought out the zip ties and tied Urijah's arms behind his back. Odin followed behind Lucas as they all walked out of the apartment and approached an elevator.

The elevator opened and Lucas saw the police that was supposed to take him in.

"Is this the guy?" A Peel Regional Police Officer asked Lucas.

"Yes sir, do I need to fill out a statement?" Lucas asked handing over Urijah to the officer.

"Yes you do, any other questions?" The officer asked.

"Nope but if you head to this man's apartment, there is evidence that he also has pirated pornography and some other stuff you should know about," Lucas told the Officer as Urijah's hung his head.

"This is illegal!" Urijah raised his voice in disapproval.

Lucas scoffed.

"You can't search my house without a warrant."

Lucas handed him and shortly filled out a statement after.

After filling out his statement, Lucas also was able to breathe a sigh of relief, the job was done. It was over. But in a sense, Lucas still felt angry that somehow even after a year, Charlie was still involved in his life but now trial would await Urijah and conviction soon after. There is enough evidence to put him away for at least 10 years. "We did it buddy. I guess I can wish you a happy retirement, now." Lucas said smiling at Odin who has been through this experience with Lucas since his time in the Army. Odin has served for 5 years, now as an older dog, Odin can live the rest of his life peacefully.

"Hopefully Big Boss can allow me to bring you to work." Lucas said hoping that even though Odin will be retired, that the reliable German Sheppard can be by his side as Lucas scratched the back of Odin's ear.

Lucas looked around the snowy city and can take a deep breath again. His plan went off without a hitch. Every little thing went according to plan, no mistakes, it was all clean and most importantly, Riley will never know what happened. He watched as the officers read Urijah his rights as Lucas smiled on as justice has been served for Riley. Sure it may have been under her nose but then again, what she doesn't know, won't hurt her.

Suddenly Lucas looked over at a few people taking pictures of the scene as he thought very little of it, just seeing Urijah being taken away.

"Alright, sir. We will proceed with the investigation, all we ask for is for your contact information in case we need to get in contact with you." An officer asked Lucas as Lucas willingly complied.

"Perfect! Thank you very much sir."

He looked over at City Hall which is nearby and saw a couple celebrating their wedding as they had a photographer with them. He watched on as he wished the couple the best of luck from a distance as he and Odin made their way back to the car and went to drive back to Toronto to pick up the crew. Mission Successful. However what he didn't know was that there were people taking pictures of him from the apartments not too far from the area, multiple businesses that caught a glimpse of him and even members of the public, Lucas was busted.

Author's Note: Well, it was mostly mission accomplished. Urijah is put in jail and even from beyond the grave, Charlie was able to cause some grief to Lucas and Riley. Now with Lucas being spotted in the city of Mississauga, how will Riley react when she leans of this? That will be soon in the FINAL chapter of this story. Start your predictions for the finale and even the first chapter of Growing Pains because when my plan is to finish this story and immediately start Growing Pains (which will be Rated T) I already have in my mind as to how this will finish and how Growing Pains will begin and I wanna see who is the most accurate because of the consequences with this incident. Please review, follow and, fav this story so that when the final chapter of Hollywood Scandal comes up, you will be the first to know when it's all about to go down. The only thing you will know for sure is Odin can finally retire and live the remainder of his life peacefully. I will see you guys next time and wish me luck because soon I will be working 14 days straight. Here's hoping I don't burn myself out.

Let's Talk!

Guest from September 29: The answer will be revealed next chapter but let's just say...It's a timing issue. ;) Hope you enjoyed the chapter and what do you think will happen between Riley and Lucas because of what happened?

Isaiah Flamez: This will be a true test of their strength as a couple especially with them being A-Listers and being in front of the lights and cameras. How they react to this can really define them as a couple. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I wanna know what you're thinking is gonna happen between Riley and Lucas because of this incident. See you soon :)
