"You're sure?" Amanda asked.
"Something ain't right… please, Mandy. I need your help." Leighla responded, Amanda nodding and heading to where she knew Seth was.
It had been ten days since she had seen him or talked to him over the phone… Amanda found herself in front of the locker room at the Performance Centre and pushed the door open.
It was cracked open but enough for her to see… immediately, she took off and the door closed, Seth and Zahra pulling their shirts back on.
"Oh damn! Stay here!" Seth said, rushing out of the locker room and finding Amanda as she reached the South hallway and grabbed her by her right arm, knocking her phone to the ground and cracking the screen as she tried to ignore the ringing in her ears and ache in her head.
"Get off of me!" Amanda snapped, shoving Seth back. "I was in the damn hospital and you didn't stop by to see me! I called you repeatedly because Leighla showed up and said she hadn't heard from you in days like I haven't! How do you think she's gonna react when she finds out that you're cheating on her?!" She said after she picked up her phone.
"You were gonna rat me out?!" Seth demanded.
"Well you clearly don't intend on telling your fiancee that you're a two timing bastard!" Amanda responded, dialing Leighla's number which infuriated Seth.
Seth snapped and pushed her against the wall, causing Amanda to drop her phone… but Amanda slammed her right knee between his legs, grabbed her phone and snapped a pic of the hickey Seth had on his neck before leaving while Seth was down on his knees.
This was just the start of another chaotic part of her life… but she was determined to see it through.
It was after thinking it over again that Amanda purchased a camera similar to the one a private investigator would use and disguised herself with a hooded jacket, black skinny jeans and motorcycle style boots before getting everything together and setting out.
She had to do what she felt was right…
Amanda had her anticonvulsants in her bag just in case this took longer than intended… she was hidden behind a hedgerow across the street from a motel with a camera in hand, waiting just like she promised Leighla three days ago.
Amanda glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost 5 in the morning… and then she saw Seth and Zahra heading to a room and aimed the camera.
She took the pictures… several of Seth and Zahra kissing and holding hands and the last one was extremely damning as it was one of Zahra leading Seth into the room and the door closing.
It was as she aimed at the window to take another picture that a hand clamped over her mouth and she turned her head to the right, seeing Finn.
"What the hell… is that…" Finn started to ask, seeing the photos saved on the camera. Amanda nodded, Finn dropping his hand.
Immediately, he led Amanda to the rental car and took her to the hotel the two were staying at. Once they had grabbed her things and moved them to his room, she started from the beginning.
"Okay… so three days ago, Leighla showed up at the apartment asking if I could find any proof that Seth's been cheating on her. Reluctantly, I agreed because I also suspected that he's been screwing around behind her back… I'd say that I'm surprised at this but I'm not. I've been cheated on before, I know how Leighla's feeling." Amanda explained, Finn taking her into his arms.
But neither were aware that they were being watched… until a woman about the same height lunged at Finn and tackled him, trying to sink her teeth into him.
Acting quickly, Amanda bashed the room lamp over the woman's head and rendered her unconscious before helping Finn up.
"Never know who's lurking in these rooms." Finn muttered, him and Amanda putting the woman in a chair and duct taping her to it.
"For a second, I nearly mistook her for that woman that's been hanging around Enzo." Amanda responded as the woman woke up hissing at them, tail flicking around like crazy. "Nice try lady, now why were you hiding in here?" She responded.
"Because I'm hungry, damn it!" The woman hissed, observing how thin Amanda was. "And do you even eat?"
"Yes but I also exercise five days out of the week… I had a bad health scare last year and it's pushed me to take better care of myself so I quit drinking alcohol altogether." Amanda responded.
"Well you are useless to me. I like people with meat on their bones." The woman said.
"Good luck finding them then, nearly everyone in the damn company is a health nut." Amanda muttered as the woman growls. "Look, if I untie you, will you not attack us?" She asked, the woman snarling.
Amanda untied her and the woman noticed the camera before leaving.
It was at the arena later in the day that Amanda was getting ready for her match when Seth stormed over, scratched and beaten up.
"Damn, your mistress is a hellcat." Amanda replied.
"It was some crazy woman with claws… wait…" Seth said, stopping himself. "You really won't give up!" He growled.
"Well, I think Leighla needs to know. Either strap your balls on and tell her or-" Amanda said, Seth grabbing her by her throat and pushing her against the wall as she fought back, Amanda jabbing her thumb into Seth's left eye and kicking him off of her before slamming her foot into his ribcage.
But Seth got the upper hand, shoving Amanda into the wall after punching her and causing her to hit her head and lose consciousness. Amanda fell to the floor and Seth crouched down, checking her pulse as Dean ran to them.
"Damn it, Seth, what the hell did you do?!" Dean asked, trying to check on Amanda but Seth stopped him. "She's out cold, she needs help."
"She'll be fine, just sit her in a chair and get back to your match prep or whatever." Seth responded.
"While she goes into another seizure? I don't think so!" Dean growled, Seth turning angry and shoving Dean back.
Amanda was hardly conscious when she saw them fighting and pulled herself up, limping down the hallway… she had only gotten halfway to it when she had to stop, Finn running to her when he saw her.
"You're right… Leighla should've hired a private investigator… and Seth needs anger management." Amanda said, Finn wrapping his arms around her to hold her up as both saw the woman from earlier breaking up the fight between Seth and Dean.
"That's enough outta the both of you! And you, that's not your blood, what did you do?!" The woman demanded, seeing Amanda's blood on Seth's shirt.
"Why the hell would you care?!" Seth yelled before leaving.
"Oh hell no, not gonna get away that easy!" Dean growled, following him and the woman rolling her eyes before leaving.
