SALEM INN
Quinn on the phone: ‘Ello love. I have an assignment for you. As luck would have it, your client is right here in this hotel. Just down the hall. Here’s his room number. You need to be there in one hour.
AN HOUR LATER
There’s a knock on Lucas’s door.
Lucas: Come in.
Chloe enters the room and does a double take when she sees Lucas near the window, sitting in a wheelchair with his foot in a cast. She thinks fast.
Chloe: Lucas! Oh um I heard you were injured and I was in the neighborhood, so I …
Lucas: Save it, Chloe. I know exactly why you’re here.
Chloe: You do?
Lucas: Yes I do. And I asked for you by name … Lola.
Chloe: Oh god. Lucas, it’s not what you think.
Lucas: No? Why don’t you tell me what I’m thinking.
Chloe: Um. I'm not a mindreader.
Lucas: ... or a rocket scientist.
Chloe: I don’t know what you're thinking. You said you hired me? Does that mean you expect me to …?
Lucas: Don’t look so disgusted. You used to have sex with me for free. Remember?
Chloe: Nice.
Lucas: I’m paying a lot of money for you today so I have some high expectations.
Chloe: I never thought of you as someone who had to pay for sex.
Lucas: Don’t flatter yourself honey. I don’t want you for sex. I have some more important things I need you to do.
Chloe: I don’t understand.
Lucas: I need you to go to the store and get me a better pair of binoculars than this piece of sh!t that came with the room. And one of those surveillance telescopes like they use in the spy movies.
Chloe: Oh grow up.
Lucas: Wait. I also want you to buy me a tripod. And a videocam with the highest resolution and zoom they have. Here’s my credit card.
Chloe’s mood brightens.
Chloe: You’re giving me your credit card? You never let me have your credit card when we were married.
Lucas: No man should give his wife his credit card.
Chloe: What do you want these things for?
Lucas: I’ll tell you later. Now hurry.
To be continued …

Thanks for the chapters Kpatch. Just love that Lucas is going to really look into what is going on with Rafe. So sweet that he is using Chloe as an errand girl.

The next time I stay in a hotel room, I'll have to look harder for the binoculars. I had no idea they came with the room!

Me either DD but then I've never been to Salem and who knows what all could come standard with their rooms. I cracked up at Lucas hiring Chloe to be his personal shopper. I also meant to mention that I got a kick out of yesterday's chapter when Lucas found Sami and Rafe too boring to watch. He and I have so many things in common.

I loved Chloe walking in to find Lucas and quickly making up a story. I am looking forward to their conversation when she returns with all of the camera equipment.

Something tells me that Lucas may become Chloe's hero besides Sami's... Go Lucas!!!

SALEM INN, A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER
A couple hours later, Chloe returns to the hotel room.
Chloe: Check this out. A new Dolce and Gabbana handbag.
Lucas: What about the stuff I asked you to buy? Did you get it? Did you get it?
Chloe: I got it. Here.
Lucas pulls out the binoculars and focuses the lenses on the building across the street. As he does this, Chloe happens to notice that the east window of the room faces Quinn’s hotel room.
Chloe: Oh my god.
Lucas looks at Chloe who realizes he saw her with Quinn.
Chloe: You know?
Lucas: I know. I heard everything.
Chloe: Oh my god, I’m so humiliated. Lucas, please, you can’t tell Philip about this. I’ll lose any chance of getting custody of Parker.
Lucas: Calm down Chloe. I’m not going to judge you, and I’m not going to use this against you. God knows I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life -- some of them in elevators. I’ve done things that almost cost me custody of my own son.
Chloe: Why are you being so nice to me?
Lucas: I’m just reading my script. Maybe being trapped in a wheelchair has given me a different perspective on things. Or maybe I need your help.
Chloe: My help? You mean like shopping for you?
Lucas: Right. You can be my legs. Run errands like picking up this kind of stuff for me.
Chloe: Like this surveillance equipment?
Lucas: That … and Chinese food. I’m starving and the chef at the Salem Inn should be shot for serving this crap. I need you to run over to Ed Foo Wong’s in the Horton Town Square and pick up a number 3 for me. No MSG.
To be continued Monday …

BWHAHAHAHA!! Loved Lucas' line about just reading his script!!!
I also like how he realizes he's made mistakes too and not passing judgement......even on his ex-wife.

LOL about the script. So funny!!! I giggled out loud (while waiting at the dentist office) and they all looked at me like I'd lost my mind. Ha ha!
