"Is that what you think Johnny?" the boss asked.

Johnny shrugged his shoulders and took another gulp of his beer.

"Is that, what you think Johnny?" the boss asked again, more firmly.

"No," Johnny answered. "I don't think it, I know it."

The boss nodded slightly and made his way towards Johnny. Gat rolled his eyes and stood up so he was face to face with the boss.

"Got anything to say about it?" he asked.

Pierce could tell by the boss's face that his patience and anger were about to rage, but he didn't dare step into an argument with the boss and Johnny.

"Well, have you? Or are you too much of a puss..." Johnny didn't finish his sentence as the boss punched him in the face, making Gat spit out blood.

Johnny chuckled and wiped his mouth.

"Is that all you got?" he asked.

"Sit down Johnny," the boss ordered.

"Hell no," Johnny answered.

"Johnny please just listen to the boss," Pierce said as he was scared of what the boss would do.

"Why should I? I mean I was once higher than he was, I was once the boss of him and I also was once his friend!" Johnny yelled at them.

The boss thought about what Johnny said and backed away from him, making his way towards Pierce and sitting down on the couch opposite Johnny. The boss gestured his arm out to the couch Gat was standing in front of.

"Sit," he told him.

Johnny didn't answer and surprisingly sat down.

"Listen," the boss started.

"Don't give me any of this bullshit," Johnny told him, putting his hand up in front of his own face.

"Quiet Johnny," Pierce said as he saw the boss was getting a little frustrated.

Johnny gave Pierce a look and sat in silence. The boss continued.

"I know I've been a dick lately..." the boss was cut off by Johnny.

"Lately? Ha," Johnny laughed sarcastically.

"Let me finish," the boss said with a sigh of annoy-ment.

Johnny was silent again and signalled the boss to carry on.

"I've been having trouble with Shaundi which has hurt me a lot actually," the boss admitted.

"Why?" Pierce asked. "I wouldn't expect you to feel like how you have over this one argument."

The boss shrugged his shoulders and Gat saw on the boss's face that he was emotionally hurt.

"Boss," Johnny said.

The boss looked up to Johnny as an answer.

"I'm uh, I'm sorry I yelled at you just now," he apologised.

"It's fine," the boss accepted. "I deserved it."

Johnny didn't answer as he knew that the boss deserved it. Then again, the boss deserved a lot of things but not to be hurt by the love he never even expected.

Johnny stood up from the couch and made his way over to the boss and sat down next to him, putting his arm around him to comfort him.

"What happened with you and Shaundi anyway?" he asked.

The boss took a moment before speaking.

"I got pissed while Shaundi was getting ready for the first episode of her programme, she was angry and yelled at me so Pierce and I went out to find that kid with the weird hair and..." the boss didn't finish as Johnny butted in.

"Oh you mean Matt?" he asked.

"How d'you know his name?" the boss asked.

"Oh yeah we forgot to tell you boss," Pierce said. "Matt is now in the saints."

The boss's face dropped and he gave Pierce an angry look. Pierce gulped and held his hands up in surrender.

"Bad timing Pierce," Johnny said as he rolled his eyes.

*On air...*

The interviewer made his way with his cameramen over to Shaundi who had just finished her date with Matt.

"So tell me Shaundi," the interviewer said as he held the microphone towards her. "How was the date with the young Matt Miller?"

Shaundi smiled towards the camera as she spoke, "It was great!"

"Will you ever date Matt Miller again?" the interviewer asked.

"Probably not," Shaundi answered.

"And whys that?" he asked.

"We had a lot of differences and he's not my type," Shaundi admitted.

"Very well, what is your type then Shaundi?" he asked, holding the microphone even closer to her.

"My type? Well it's not a geek behind a computer that's for sure," she answered.

*Back at the penthouse...*

"And that's why we need him," Johnny told the boss.

"I'm not getting your point," the boss said.

Johnny sighed as he paced back and forth in front of the boss, thinking of an easier way to explain.

"Matt is good with computers," Pierce told him.

"So?" the boss asked.

"So we can make a difference to the saints," Johnny told him. "We recruited him so we can gain a new skill."

"And the skill is?" the boss asked, confused.

Johnny stopped pacing and placed his hand on his forehead as Pierce shook his head slowly.

"What?" the boss asked.

"Were you born stupid?" Johnny asked.

The boss have Gat a "haha very funny" look as Pierce stood up from the couch, making his way towards the kitchen.

"Anyone want a beer?" he asked.

"I'll have one," Johnny answered.

The boss sat in silence, not wanting to drink because he knew Shaundi would be disappointed as she's already shouted at him for drinking once earlier on that day.

As Pierce grabbed two bottles from the cooler, he realised that the boss didn't answer.

"Hey boss, you having one?" he asked.

"Nah," the boss answered.

Johnny looked surprised at the boss.

"So being with Shaundi has made you a changed man?" Johnny laughed at his joke that the boss nor Pierce understood.

As Johnny laughed to himself, Pierce walked back towards the two. He sat down next to the boss and rolled his eyes at the sight of Johnny laughing to his obvious insulting joke.

"Woo, I am too funny," Johnny said to himself as he sat down on the couch opposite the boss and Pierce.

Pierce slid Johnny's beer across the glass table in the middle of the room between the two couches. Johnny quickly put his hand out to stop it and looked up to the boss.

"You sure you don't want a beer?" he asked.

The boss nodded slightly and rested his head on the back of the couch, closing his eyes and drifting off into deep thoughts.

Just that moment, the elevator doors opened and in walked Matt and Shaundi.

"What the actual fuck?" Shaundi asked as she stormed towards the three.

Pierce didn't take in any notice and carried on watching the television, Gat took a gulp of his beer and the boss still rested his head in silence.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" she yelled.

"What is it Shaundi?" Johnny sighed.

"Why the fuck have you joined Matt into the saints?" she asked un-patiently.

"I've already explained why many times today," Johnny told her.

"Explain to me now," she ordered.

Johnny rolled his eyes and met the television screen once again. Shaundi was furious at their ignorance and made her way towards the boss who was still lost in his thoughts.

Shaundi grabbed his arm and pulled him off the couch and up, standing face to face with her.

"Are you purposely ignoring me?!" she asked furiously.

"What? No," the boss answered. "I was like half asleep."

"Whatever," Shaundi said as she stormed off past him, barging his arm.

The boss knew Shaundi was still mad at him but didn't want to risk trying to make everything better just in case he made her hate him even more.

"You should go and speak to her," Pierce suggested.

The boss slouched back down on the couch and threw his arms over his face. Johnny and Pierce could tell the boss was stressed out as he had his hands full for the past few days.

"Want me to go and talk to her?" Johnny asked.

"No it's fine," the boss mumbled underneath his arms.

"Honestly boss, you need to go and sort her out, she seems just as stressed as you are," Pierce said.

The boss thought for a minute and then stood up from the couch.

"I'll be back in a bit," he told them as he made his way towards the stairs and up into his bedroom.

When he opened the door, he peeked his head around to see Shaundi laying down on his bed facing the window. The boss then walked fully into the room, closing the door quietly behind himself.

"What do you want?" she asked moodily.

"I want to talk to you," the boss answered as he made his way towards her.

Shaundi sat up on the bed and faced the boss.

"I've been thinking about what I did a lot today and I know it was wrong, it was very stupid of me to have drank when I knew it was the first episode of your show today," the boss apologised. "I know you may not want my apology, but I want your forgiveness."

Shaundi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"What you did, was rude and very disrespectful to me," she told him.

The boss looked down to the floor in shame and sat down on his bed, next to Shaundi.

"Look," he said as he took her hand in his. "I understand that your pissed at me and what I did was wrong, but you need to forgive me."

"Why do I need to?" she asked.

"Because I feel depressed and I'm stressed out, if anything happens to the penthouse like the other day with them ho's, I'm not gonna be able to perform at my best and focus with you on my mind," he explained.

Shaundi stared with an emotion of anger as the boss spoke...
