We went to Mattie's room and I knocked on the door.

"It's open." Mattie said and Chase opened the door.

"Oh Athena, Chase, this is horrible! There's no way that could've been an accident- I think it's another attempt to get Rick! The timing's just too weird- all of these threats and now he's almost killed on stage! I'm too upset to deal with this- I gotta get outta here- I need some space. We'll talk later." Mattie said before rushing out of the room.

"Really!? She couldn't wait two minutes?" I asked.

"Hey, hey, it's alright babe we'll just talk to her back at the apartment." Chase said squeezing my shoulder.

I sighed, "Alright, let's just talk to Rick."

We left Mattie's room and went to Rick's. Chase knocked on the door.

"Entre Vou." Rick said.

I opened the door and we walked in. Rick spotted me and he smiled, completely ignoring Chase.

"Hello, gorgeous! Where have you been all my life?" He asked.

"Hiding from you." I said narrowing my eyes.

"Ouch. You're a feisty one aren't you?" Rick asked.

I rolled my eyes, "You know, for a guy who just barely escaped a terrible accident, you're in an awfully good mood."

"Of course, of course I am! I was lucky. If you're going to be in an accident, that's the best way to be- don't you agree? But then, I've always been a lucky guy; I just met you Ms. Drew." Rick said.

I felt Chase squeezing my shoulder and sighed mentally. It's Daryl Grey all over again.

"Do you really think it was an accident?" I asked ignoring the comment.

"I see Mattie's been talking to you about me. Of course it was just an accident. Things like this just happen." Rick said.

"Can you think of anyone with a motive to send you these death threats?" Chase asked. I could tell he was trying to hold back a glare.

"I can think of millions: all of those jealous husbands and boyfriends of women who send me marriage proposals, cookies and other…'notes d'amour'." Rick said.

"I highly doubt poisoned chocolates are a note d'amour." I said.

"Poisoned chocolates? Oh dear, Mattie's really gone over the top with this. They were just a bad batch, that's all. If you dare me, I'll eat one. But if we're going to play that game, I'd prefer another dare. So, how about it Athena: truth or dare?" Rick asked.

I swear if it weren't for Chase having his arm around me he would've punched Rick by now.

I sighed, "Fine, dare."

"Okay, while I go to makeup, stay here, get all cozy and…stay beautiful." Rick said with a wink before leaving.

"That's it! Forget the guy sending him the threats! I'm gonna kill him myself!" Chase said moving towards the door.

I hugged him from behind, holding him back, "Whoa! Calm down tiger! Don't take what he said seriously. You know I only love you."

He sighed and relaxed slightly, I let go of him and he turned to look at me, "I love you too, Athena. That's why I hate it when guys flirt with you."

"I don't enjoy it either, Chase. Now, let's just forget about what happened and look around." I said then kissed him.

"You're right, let's get started." He said.

While looking around we found the chocolates, a hate poem, dead roses, the death threats, the broken watch and a scratched up head shot. But I've noticed that some of the letters were typed with a dropped y.

"I think that's it babe." Chase said.

"Yeah, let's head back to the apartment and talk to Mattie." I said.

We left the studio, took a taxi back to the apartment and walked in.

"Mattie, we need to talk." I said as we walked into the living room.

"Hi, you two. I'm sorry for skipping out on you like that, I guess I'm not a very good hostess. It's just that this whole thing with Rick really shook me up." Mattie said.

"It's fine but now we have another problem. We ran into Lillian and she kicked us out, said that the studio was closed off to visitors." Chase said.

"Yeah, Lillian's pretty cranky these days. Wait a minute- I've got an idea on how you can get back into the studio! My agent can get you two jobs as extras, so you could get on the set. You don't have to do anything; they just need to have people standing by." Mattie said.

"That's great Mattie! Who's your agent?" I asked.

"Dwayne Powers. We've been friends for years. I'll give Dwayne a call first thing tomorrow. Just stop by there in the morning. I'll tell him you're old family friends who's decided to try out acting as a career." Lillian said.

"Thanks Mattie! That'll really help." I said.

"No problem. Hey, it's getting late you two should get to bed." Mattie said.

"Right, goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight you two." Mattie said before we left the living room.
