A/N: Sequel to Torture. What can our girls get into at the 'Grandest stage of them all'? Stay tuned and find out.
DK was standing outside of the hotel in Houston waiting for Souless and TVL to arrive. They had opted to drive, bringing up the fact that most of the things that they were going to use weren't going to pass through security. She, WF, and Sin had arrived the day before and were mingling with the guys. At that point in time Sin was off with the Hardy's trying to get a list of the people that annoyed them the most and WF was lounging in the bar watching as Mike tried to beat Afa at a game of pool. She bounced on the balls of her feet, unable to stay still for too long. Glen had spent the night in her room putting together a rough list of people that they were gunning for, and Mark spent the greater part of the evening with them; rattling off ideas for 'toture'.
A few minutes later a loud rumble rent the air and DK brought her head and watched as a 2006 Dodge Ram crew cab with a lift kit roared into the parking lot. It pulled to a stop with a screech and she looked up at the tinted window as it rolled down. TVL grinned down at her and Souless moved so she could look out as well.
"Hey stranger, know where I can put a hurtin' on someone?"
"Sure do." DK grinned.
"So where are we parking?" Souless said, cutting TVL off.
"Around back. Here I'll show you." DK hopped up on the runner board and held onto the mirror and 'oh shit' handle. "Alright, let's get a move on."
TVL gunned the engine and took off, laughing as DK let out a whoop. They drew some curious stares from the other guests, and some chuckles from Micheal, Glen, Mark, and Paul W as they slid into a parking spot next to one of the tour buses. DK jumped down and with a wide grin struck a Randy Orton pose as Souless and TVL climbed down and started to retrieve their bags and assorted accoutrement's from the back seat.
"Come on you ham and help us get some of this shit into the hotel." TVL said as she tossed a bag at DK. "And don't drop that one, it has all your breakable things in it." She called as DK scrambled to catch it.
Once the bags were passed about the three started towards the hotel, trading good natured insults as the drew abreast of the guys. Mark grabbed the two bags from Souless and Paul took the ones from TVL. Glen went to take the one from DK, but she kept a tight hold on the bag and shaking her head at him.
"You don't trust me to be careful with your bag?"
"It's not that."
"Then what?"
"You'll see later." DK's face held the faintest trace of a smile and Glen took it to mean something good for him and only him.
The group made their way in and WF came flying out of the bar with a grin on her face. She hugged TVL and Souless in turn and then looked at the guys with the bags.
"What's this? We didn't get any help in with our bags." She said.
"That's because all y'all had were carry ons." Mark countered with a smile.
"Hey where's Sin?" Souless asked as she did a quick head count.
"She's out with Matt and Jeff coming up with a game plan and trailing a few people."
"At least one of us is working."
"In my defense Glen and I spent the night together....."
"Please spare us the details DK." TVL said in mock horror as she covered her ears.
"Funny." She retorted, sticking her tongue out. "But as I was going to say, we were getting a list together and Mark was there helping us come up with torture ideas."
"Really? Would you mind stopping by after we settle in Mark?" Souless asked, her eyes gleaming. "I have a few ideas that I wanna run by you."
"Sure." He nodded as they headed to the elevator.
"So where are our rooms at?" TVL asked as the doors closed on them.
"Fifth floor at the very end of the hallway. Glen, Micheal, Mike, Afa, the Hardy's, and Paul here are all on the same floor too."
"That's alot of rooms for just 12 people." Souless pointed out as the elevator stopped on their floor.
"Well Glen had originally gotten one room for the 'fun' but as we sat and thought about, if we had multiple room for y'all to work with then we wouldn't have to hurry between sessions and then they could as for as long as you like. We're only here for a few days."
"You guys know that we'll never be able to pay you back for this." TVL said as she looked around at the group.
"We know, but just thinking about what you five are going to do to these idiots is more than worth the money we spend." Glen said with a sadistic grin that was copied by Mark.
The girls noticed and shared a concerned looked quickly before they started walking. The guys rooms were closer to the elevator while their rooms were on down. After dropping the things off in their appropriate rooms and making plans for dinner out with the guys, they congregated in what had been set aside as 'Command Central'. They waited for Sin to arrive before getting down to business. DK had a note book in front of her and was jotting things down and texting at the same time. A couple of minutes later Sin hurried in and practically dived for her chair.
"Sorry about that. Matt and Jeff were pointing out a couple of guys that they wanted to be done first."
"It's fine. But we have a pressing matter that needs to be resolved right now before anything gets done." Souless started off.
"What's that?"
"Glen and Mark seem to be swept up easily in all this. Remember, Mark wanted to punch Matt to put back out at the store. And then the looks on their faces just a few minutes ago. They could throw a major wrench in our plans if they get too carried away. I know with a doubt that DK is going to keep Glen under wraps. Right?"
"Yup." Dk nodded as she scribbled something down.
"Now, I'm going to take Mark for the sheer and simple fact that his knowledge of all things dark and my natural dark bent are going to work beautifully together and possibly come up with top of the line, grade A torture. But if there is a point in time where either DK or I can't be with those two we need some one to step and take control. TVL will you take Mark?"
"Sure."
"And WF will you step in for DK if she needs you?"
"Sure, but what about Matt, Jeff, and the others?" WF asked.
"Afa, Micheal and Mike are probably going to stay as far from us as humanly possible. I doubt that Mike has forgiven us for making him look like Mr. Clean and Micheal, well he's Micheal. But Jeff and Matt might be a problem. Matt was getting really interested in how we worked near the end of our prank at the store and Jeff was asking a million and one questions when we all went out to dinner."
"I'll take the brothers Hardy." Sin said with a grin.
"Are you sure that you can handle both?" Souless asked as she cocked an eyebrow at Sin.
"Of course. I have my ways Souless, you know that."
"Alright, now who are looking to go after first?"
"I dunno. Glen's list isn't really that long. Irvine is the main thorn in his side, followed by Jamie Noble. And at the very bottom is Mark." DK said with a shrug.
"Matt and Jeff's list is basically the entire roster." Sin said as she whiped out some folded sheets of paper.
"Well I know that I want Adam." Souless said, a grin twisting her lips as she cracked her knuckles.
"Oh, so now we're picking our victims. Well I'm calling Layfield." WF said.
"You can have him." DK said with a scrunch of her nose. "I wanna confer with Glen before I pick someone, although I'm leaning towards Irvine."
"What about you TVL?" Souless asked.
"Eh, I'm gonna wait and watch before I make a decision."
"Alright. And you Sin?"
"Well since you grabbed up Adam, lemme get with Jeff and Matt and see who they want to go after first."
"Ok. Now is there anything else that needs to be discussed before we head out for dinner?"
Everyone shook their heads and Souless adjourned the meeting. They headed off to their rooms to change before meeting up downstairs. This night was a night of partying and finding out information. Tomorrow the real fun was going to begin.
