SECRET LIFE SECRETS REVEALED

HAIL TO THE NEW KING "TEMPORARILY"

Ben spent the next few days spending time with Chloe, who was overjoyed to have her brother back in her life. She would call him early in order to meet for breakfast, and was surprised by how each time he was already wide awake, and had been for a few hours. Ben also had Nora email him, the company activity spread sheet for the past three years. He busied himself every night pulling facts, files, and contracts to plead his father's case to the board. However he would still call home unknown to Chloe in order to check on his family every few hours. He would also send pictures of California to show them how lovely it was, but had nothing on the serene land scape of his Montana home.

During this week everyone from Henry and Alice to even Omar and Jack all tried to track Ben down in order to get a visual on his new appearance, and information on where he had been after all these years. Chloe being the good daughter she was told her family what Ben told her at the Burger Shack, and had both Leo and Camille in tears. To learn that their son had chosen to live on the street, and eat garbage rather than be home saddened them. However Leo was very happy that Ben had met this Ms. Johnson, and made a mental note to one day thank her personally for her kindness to his son(which would also bite Leo on the ass).

However things were not going good for Ricky, Tamara had already started to go after his family when she sent a summons to see him in court to the Butcher Shop. She also sent one to his home which John took by mistake, and discovered the real reason for his parent's sudden split. This angered John so much he left home, and asked to stay with George and Kathleen. This incident really broke Amy's heart, and she blamed Ricky for this. Not only that, but Tamara placed a restraining order on both Amy and Ricky until the paternity hearing. This angered Amy even more because it would force her to be in the same room with Ricky, which is where she didn't want to be. Now unfortunately the one week extension Ben was given was up, and the fate of "Boykewich International" was due.

Board Room of Boykewich INT. HEADQUARTERS

Ben once again sit's in his father and Grandfather's chair ready to confront the board about keeping his father the head of "Boykewich International".

Ben: Before I begin I would like to thank the board for giving me the time I needed to make my case. I would also like to apologize to all of you for any inconvenience I've caused you.

Phillip: Ben, it is no trouble. But I we would like for you to get on with this.

Ben: Very well, if the board would point it's attention to the documents I've placed before you, you would notice that I have marked all the financial gain that my father has brought to this company in the past three years. These gains were his own idea's, and .......

Nathan: His own hard work. Ben we know how important Leo is to this company. We also know the contributions that Leo has given this company, as well as the success that he has brought to our company. But this meeting isn't about that. This meeting is about future of this company, and the leadership it must have in order to endure this slander brought about by Tamara Blake, and her lawyer.

Phil: I couldn't have said it better Nate. I agree that Leo has been very instrumental to this company, but now he is too ill to take the reigns on this scandal that he has helped to create.

Ian: I disagree Phillip. Leo did not create this scandal Ricky Underwood's actions did this. Leo was only trying to protect him.

Nate: I concur with that Ian. But Leo at this time is not physically able to run this company, and whether you would like to admit it or not Ben, he is also not mentally able to deal with it either.
