## Character Arc

Over an emotionally filled day with Zane and Claire reminiscing about their time together, Claire gave Zane a 24-hour period to get her the wedding ring that she deserves. The requirements had to be a minimum of 6k and as many Carats possible. Multiple friends of Zane, even a few others, tried to say that Zane was ridiculous for putting his love into Claire and wanting to jump back into a relationship.

Claire arrived to get with Zane about her ring, and they talked of getting married. While Zane was at a work on Governor Protection Duty, she spoke to Zane about wanting the ring as soon as possible, only to see how beautiful the Governor's mansion was, and she was taken back. The RNG RPGods decided that it was a great time for a wheelchair tornado to happen to Zane, injuring him to the point where the Governor himself had to attempt mouth to. . . Mouth? Yes, let's say month. Claire was appalled at the site of what she saw.

After a heated argument between Zane and Claire about loving each other and wanting Zane to prove it. They rushed off to pick up the ring, and Poppy quickly followed behind in her own car, being worried that they might do something crazy. (*Being that she's one of the many that is against the relationship as a whole.)* She was right in doing so, Zane crashed his car into a tree, disabling the vehicle, Poppy picked them off and went about their way. Once at the store and he picked out a ring that was worth over 15,000 dollars for Claire, she was impressed. As they exited the store, Poppy's car was being broken into by some random criminals, Zane attempted to have them halt and walk away, not being able to do much being in a wheelchair. Unexpectedly, as they drove away, they are one-shot him in the head. Poppy shot as they drove away as Claire tried to keep pressure while cursing at Zane because she wasn't married yet and would *GET NOTHING* and Claire didn't want that to happen*.* Poppy commandeered a vehicle to get them to the hospital, since they are criminals, disabled her car.

Once at the hospital, they rushed Zane to the surgery wing, where Jericho Austin did an experimental surgery. Where a robot would be doing the surgery to remove the bullet from the brain, but according to Joe, it will cost his entire life savings. Once the grueling surgery was over, Zane's memory reverted to when he started up the lemonade stand to get into the PD. The surgery may have lost some memory but allowed him to use his legs again, so there was no more need for a wheelchair. Multiple people were trying to keep him in his own little world while he recovered, all while Claire refused to lie to him about his situation. Zane saw this a being the only one being truthful, and he used that to prove that she was a good person. He ended up proposed while being in his hospital bed as he recovered from surgery.

As, multiple officers at the PD refused to allow Claire and Zane alone together because he was vulnerable and Claire was a *'Gold Digger'* and didn't love him to begin with. Claire ran off, giving Zane the assumption that she was leaving for good and heading to the airport, when in actuality she was heading to the airport to pick up her Latin lover Miguel.

As Claire waited for Miguel to arrive at the airport, Zane convinced his PD escort of friends trying to convince him of Claire's true intentions, that he was going to head to the airport and break up with Claire. Though his truly was going there to bring her on his trip, that he planned to propose to her 'properly.' Claire was taken back when he arrived at the airport, knowing full well that Miguel can show up anytime. Claire convinced Zane to go get the paperwork needed from the courthouse for the wedding while she was waiting for the airport personal to give her luggage that had her wedding dress in it. 'Apparently' it was lost when she flew in to visit Zane and had been missing for a few days. She instructed Zane to wait for her in Mirror Park, at Horny's Burgers, and they'll go from there. This was clearly the ploy to get him away from the airport, so she can get Miguel into the city without Zane knowing.

Once Miguel arrived, Claire gave him the low down of what was going on, this was proof that Miguel was in on her scheme. They spoke about her plan to marry Zane and put out a life insurance policy, and avoid sex with him at all cost. When the time was right and the blame wouldn't be placed on her, she'd earn the insurance policy which allows Miguel and Claire to run away with one more 'kill' on their list. There were talks of prior marks that they have done this plan to before, it always ended in either divorce or death.

Claire finally met with Zane at Horny's all while Miguel hid in the back of the SUV that she had stole just outside the airport. Zane hoped in the vehicle and did not, in fact, get the paperwork for the marriage license, so Claire was quick to rush to city hall to do so. Once they arrived, they found out that the paperwork was at the courthouse. Zane and Claire ended up going getting her a wedding dress, so they could go get married at the courthouse. Claire was pretty persistent about not getting a prenup, even asked if there was a chance they could get a start on the life insurance possible. This entire time, Zane was love struck, and he wanted to show Claire that she was the most important person in the world, and he wanted to give her everything she ever could think of.

Outside the courthouse, Zane spoke that he's been dreaming about this day since their time in elementary school, and up to this current point, his life was honestly pretty shit. There were talks of how he's lost a lot of people, but he truly believed that each one of them left something behind to get him to the point where he was worthy of Claire's love. This weighed on Claire's concision only but a second, and Zane wanted to head to the dam to get married. He wanted a simple wedding where there was just them, and they could tell each other how they truly feel. Though, Claire wanted to find an officiant to make it truly official, and Zane wanted to go to Chumash Pier. He wanted to marry her at sunset at the tip of the pier.

While at the tip of pier, they shared their vowed at the sunset, all while Miguel was hiding just off to the side, listening in on their conversation.

"I have loved… you for…ever and I will lov…you. I will loff you for the rest of our natural lives."

~ Claire Vow

Zane went on for a while about how she was a remarkable woman, and that he's loved her for a long, long time. She was a shining light that returned to him at a point in his life where he had nothing. Saying he wouldn't know what to do without her. During their time on the pier, shots rang out which concerned, but Zane confirmed that they were perfectly safe and he continued their intimate ceremony. Claire wanted to wait to kiss and Zane forcefully kissed her to seal the deal on the wedding, during this entire time, she was quickly becoming nervous, which caused Zane to look over and see Miguel. He began a bit unhinged, asking why he was here. They had a hot, heated argument about how Miguel was here to kidnap Claire and steal her from him. Police showed up in responses to the shots fired, thought it was Jimmy and Joe. During the commotion, Miguel jumped over the side of the pier and escaped from Zane. They didn't much care for Zane and Claire's antics after they were informed that they didn't hear or see anything.

Zane's voice started to crack, and you can see his nerves starting to get to him, Claire began to get worried a little and suggested that they go check out the house that he wanted to get for them. Zane asked to drive, and recommended they go somewhere with a view, and quickly drove off. Claire was unable to leave a crumb trail to show Miguel where they might have driven off to. The way he started driving, he started to scare Claire, it was sporadic and demented. He literally drove a few locals off the side of the mountainside road on the way up to the winery. Marlowe Vineyard, where they sat and drank wine, well, mostly Zane. Claire could see how he was starting to lose his concentration on things, and showing anger that she'd never seen before. Talks of how the wine is created to be loved, how some wines were used up all at once, the tiny little grapes smashed up to pieces and in the process showing their true nature.

Claire watched Zane's body movements and started to get more and more concerned about her wellbeing. After she spoke about possibly going back to the city where there would be other people, he suggested that they leave, grabbing her hand and taking her back to the parking lot. He found himself a motorbike and asked if Claire would hop on and join him for a ride. Asking what exactly she loved about him, her response was very basic, hair, eyes, shoes, things she didn't have to think about.

As they were talking, he was starting taking her off-road with the dirt bike, Claire was getting really concerned and Zane started to notice that in her voice. Larger jumped off side roads, and Claire accused him of trying to murder her. Zane's laugh was a bit disturbing and saying that he wouldn't allow anything to happen to her. Talking about the old times and how she'd use to feed him dog food while he was on all fours. He wanted to confirm that they were the same people, and how they used to do anything to be with each other. In a menacing voice, he joked, saying that he'd still do anything to be with her. Continued to drive, he took her up the mountainside, very dangerous trails where one false move, they would both fall down and probably get badly injured, or it would result in death. His actions were scaring the living shit out of Claire. They ended their adventure in a very remote lake up in the high mountainside, holding her hand tightly, Zane became concerned with how she said he was going to kill him.

**"It is because you think you deserved to be dead… Is it because you think you deserved to be dead after what you did?" ~ Zane**

Zane accused Claire that she brought Miguel to the city. He started speaking erratic and asked if she even loved him at all, and how if she didn't love him, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.

**"You're the love of my life, but I'm not the love of yours." ~ Zane**

He started to speak crazed, stated that she lied to him the entire time. How she fed him bullshit his entire life, and how she even lied about what she used to say what she loved about him, it wasn't his smile, it was his eyes. Zane started to notice that Claire, since she's been back in his life, she has refused to look him in the eyes. *(Zane started to have a real Joker moment)* stating that everyone was right about her, and how he waited for her his whole life just to be thrown around once more. Zane started rambling about how he would have done anything for her, and how she didn't even care.

**"…You haven't looked me in the eyes once Claire, you don't even remember what you used to say because it's all bullshit." ~ Zane**

Zane was crying hysterically after, going on about how there is not a single person in this entire world that would give up as much as he did for her. Anyone can see that this man is unwell, and one false word would have caused this man to do unimaginably things, to anyone, honestly. But with all his emotions directed towards the one person he loved, or at least loved at one point in front of him, you were able to cut this tension with a knife. Claire didn't care for this one bit, she was concerned for her own well-being and how Zane was acting. She begged and pleaded to him to take her back to the city, and in response, Zane said, "Oh, I don't think that's where you are going…" The doctor's told Zane that he was emotionally unstated, apparently each time he got back up he thought about Claire and that's how he got through the day, thinking about what they could have been.

While Zane reached for whatever was behind his back, Claire was quick to push him away in fear that it was a gun or a knife. She ran down towards the water, and tripped over a rock into the lake, and pretended to be floating in the water in hopes that he would leave her be. This man loomed over her floating, what he thought was a corpse at the time, and watched her 'drown.' She swam underwater to the side of the lake that was different from view from where Zane was standing, and quick found a safe place to hide away from him. He drove off on the bike with no remorse in his eyes. Once she was in the free and clear, and he was out of sight, she left the safety from the bush and attempted to run down the side of the mountain to find her Miguel. Being that she was disorientated, she slipped at fell once more down the side of the mountain and found herself alone in the words at the mercy of the wilderness, or at least until someone finds her.

After some paramedics found her, she was taken to the hospital for her injuries. Claire was hushed about the situation that led her there or her name for that matter, in fears that Zane would find her and finish the job. This wasn't the first time a mark had tried to kill her, and she was certain that this wouldn't be the last. But, Zane was a little more unhinged than the others that her and Miguel had swindled out of their money. So she took the time once she was released from the hospital to change her appearance, she took this con a bit more personal, since it was her first. She had a talk of randomly showing up periodically to cause doubt in Zane's sanity and cause him grief for 'killing' a woman in cold-blood.
