SECRET LIFE SECRETS REVEALED

THE LUNCH CLUB

After the "Thanksgiving" feast made by Gram at Ben's suite Chloe went home and spoke with Leo about meeting Ben's family for the first time.  She was truly smitten with all of them Gram, was so warm and loving toward her like a real grandmother.  3-Jay was funny, kind, and a little rude but very supportive like a best friend should be.  Vincent showed that he was very understanding of Ben, but at the same time very critical of him as well, like an older brother watching his little brother.  Similar how Ben was, and in some ways still was to her.  When Leo learned this he had to meet them.  Unfortunately Gram had to leave, she could only keep her diner closed for so long, and she could not let her customer's be without food.  

However on Friday morning  she took all 3 of her boys, as she called them to an early church sermon at a local church.  It was a beautiful sermon 3-Jay actually volunteered  a song, which got him recognized by many who knew the young singer from his up incoming album "I LIFT MY VOICE TO YOU", by  Voice of an Angel Records.  Unknown to them Adrian and Omar were also present, supporting her brother in law Dante, as he was the church musician.  He also tried at music, but his career had been cut short when his manager hustled him, and his label dropped him for his rude behavior.  After that his relationships failed, and he even lost custody to his son, now he was on a path of redemption.  He was also trying out the Christian Aspect of music, since it had become on the rise in the new age.

3-JAY:  I'd like to say before I begin that I'm very happy to be here and celebrate this day after "Thanksgiving with you.  I came here to support my brother sitting back there, we aren't related but he and the other guy back there are the closest family I have in my life next to my Grandma he takes care of all of us I guess.  Her name is Mrs. Hattie Johnson from Reno, Nevada.  She is the guide, I guess in all of our lives, and she leads all three of us onto the path God chose for us.  She is the shepard I guess and we are her 3-sheep so this song is for you, and for God Grandma.  Also for you Ben.  He's my brother from another mother like no other back there.

You say that you are my sheep,
why aren't you following me?
You say that I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?

My sheep hear my voice, they come running to me;
and you say I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?

Verse 1:
I told my sheep to visit the sick
and to take the stranger in.
When you see someone who's naked,
use your wool to cover their skin;
and you say I am your shepherd,
why aren't you following me?

Chorus

Verse 2:
I told my sheep to love one another,
even your enemies too;
but you have love for only those
who have that love for you.
And you say I am your shepherd;
why aren't you following me?

His singing and piano playing was so sweet and kind that he had someone else in the church do something she hadn't done in a long time, he made her cry.  That person was Lauren Treacy who once upon a time dated Dante.  They met at the wedding and had a small relationship however his attitude hadn't changed much and with the impregnation of a girl he met ended their relationship because he couldn't stay faithful.  After 3-Jay's song and the ending of the service everyone including the church minister Omar/Dante's mother all congratulated him on his singing.  Omar was impressed that Ben had such caring and talented friends.  Adrian tried to introduce herself to them, but all four left in order to get Gram to her flight back home.   They took "THE BARRACUDA" which had been given to 3-Jay by Ben because he was done with it.  3-Jay then took the Cuda to Miami where he got his recording contract.  It was then given back to Vincent who was now using it, and it helped him get his job working for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
