October 8th 2015, 12:35am, Hideaway bar...

"One down… now off with it, lass." Finn said with a slight smirk, Amanda setting the pool cue aside and looking at Finn.

"As you wish." Amanda said, slipping her tank top off over her head but she was still in her skinny jeans and motorcycle boots while Finn was down to just his jeans.

It had started out as a way to distract themselves from the chaos, the two had ended up at a bar… one thing led to them drinking, the liquor led to Finn suggesting that the two up the stakes in their usual night out.

Crossfire by Stevie Ray Vaughan started to play from the jukebox as Amanda got another shot, the 4 ball shooting right into the side pocket.

"Your turn now, Balor." Amanda chuckled, Finn pulling his jeans off and kicking them aside which left him in his boxers before he got another shot in.

Amanda was out of her boots and socks as she quickly eyed Finn, absentmindedly biting on her lower lip and quickly pretending to focus on the game… but Finn noticed and smirked.

"Are you lappin' up some cheeky peeks, lassie?" Finn asked, emphasising his accent more than normal in a slight joking manner.

"You don't make... it easy to look away." Amanda responded with a slight rasp to her voice, her face a light red.

"You don't make it easy either… to keep my hands off you." Finn whispered as he trailed his fingers up her side… before aiming the cue and pulling back, the 7 striped ball going into the corner pocket.

"Damn it, you don't play fair!" Amanda said, pouting slightly but removed her jeans anyway.

"Most times, I don't…" Finn whispered as he eyed Amanda up and down… he knew she was wearing the satin grey green push up bra and hiphugger panties just to get his blood running.

Lie To Me by Jonny Lang played on the jukebox as the door opened… and a chuckle distracted them, the two seeing Murphy and Alexa.

"Well it didn't take too long for you two to get each others clothes off… looks like Lexa was right." Murphy said.

"l don't see how it's any of your business, just a little dare is all… as for you, maybe you wouldn't be watching me like you are if your bitchy girlfriend wasn't so frigid." Amanda responded, Alexa trying to slap her but Amanda caught her wrist and punched her.

Murphy and Finn were fighting as well after Finn had stopped Murphy from attacking Amanda… but then Murphy turned and bashed a bottle into Finn's head.

Amanda ran at the bar, jumped on its edge and Murphy screamed as he was tackled through a table.

"Lights out, fucker!" Amanda growled after she stood up when Murphy's eyes closed, Amanda running over and helping Finn up before seeing that he had a few cuts on him.

"I'm okay, Mandy…" Finn said, handing Amanda's clothes to her as he shoved his own clothes back on. The bartender, an older man named Charlie, was used to this and worse from the two but they didn't normally get to this kind of chaos…

Present time…

Amanda shoved the script aside for the upcoming episode of Raw and pulled the hood of her hoodie over her head, the 25 year old starting to stress and plugging her earbuds into her phone.

She activated IHeartRadio and Big City Nights by Scorpions blared into her ears… it seemed like this feud involving both Corporate Kane and Demon Kane wouldn't end anytime soon and she was adamant against going out there for Dean, Seth and Roman's match against the Wyatt Family.

She was seriously thinking of speaking to Hunter about some time off and going to Orlando for a few days to clear her mind… but the door opened and she felt a hand rest on her left shoulder, jarring her from her thoughts and her seeing John.

"I'm sure Hunter would understand if you didn't go out there during that part of the show." John said after Amanda shut the music off and took her red earbuds out.

"How the hell did you know what I was thinking?" Amanda asked as she sat up and moved her legs to where her knees were bent up so John could sit down and John resting his hand on her head, lightly ruffling her hair.

"You're my baby sis, I know when you're stressing out… look, one of the guys… and we know which one it is, he's deliberately doing this to you, so just take a break from being around Rollins tonight. Of course that also means taking a break from being around Dean and Roman but they'll understand." John explained as the door opened and Finn walked in.

"I miss something?" Finn asked.

"Just trying to convince Mandy that one night of not working with her former Shield teammates won't hurt her." John replied.

"It sounds like a good idea, lass." Finn responded.

"I'll do it… I'd hate to be away from Dean and Roman but you're both right." Amanda said.

"I'll go tell Hunter." John replied before they hugged and he kissed Amanda on her forehead before leaving, Finn sitting down and getting Amanda to turn towards him and lie down on the couch before wrapping his arms around her.

"They can control themselves for one night." Amanda said as Finn reached his left hand down and rested it on her forehead, having noticed that her face was a bit red… but from what he could tell, she wasn't running a fever.

"How long were you outside?" Finn asked.

"Just for a half hour… I thought it'd help clear my mind and I had my jacket on." Amanda responded, Finn checking the weather on his phone and seeing that it was 40° with a wind chill of 35°.

"Well next time, don't forget the gloves and hat. Texas weather is much different. As for tonight, they can handle themselves." Finn replied.

As Raw progressed, Dean, Seth and Roman were out in the ring, each looking for Amanda.

"Where the hell is she?" Dean muttered.

"I don't keep track of her, Mandy's a grown woman." Roman replied.

"Yeah, let's just get this underway." Dean said, Seth narrowing his eyes at them. "What? We can't force her to come out here." He responded, Seth knowing that they had no choice but to go through with the match.

The six man tag quickly disintegrated into a brawl with both teams getting disqualified… Dean and Roman then proceeded to drag a pissed off Seth backstage.

"Well I hope you're happy, now Luke Harper has a concussion! What the fuck's gotten into you, Mandy doesn't join us out there for one night so you go acting like a brute?!" Dean growled, Seth shoving him back and Dean responding with a punch to Seth's face.

"Knock it off, both of you!" Roman yelled, pulling the two apart. "Seth, you better tell us what you did to stress Mandy out and now!" He replied, Seth ignoring him and him and Dean continuing to fight.

But before Roman could pull them apart, he had to jump back as both were tasered and turned to see Aestrid.

"Are you two done fighting like jackasses?! Why were you fighting anyway?!" Aestrid questioned as they stood up.

"Mandy wasn't at ringside like she was scripted to be, we don't know why but I think she isn't feeling well." Dean explained, Seth kicking him in his right shin. "You got a better explanation? She probably caught some kind of virus, her match was called off!" He yelled.

"Or she's being all cautious and protective of herself as she and Balor fucked up big time!" Seth responded angrily.

"Would you knock that off already? You're just gonna push her further away!" Roman replied.

"And besides, they're adults and it's their business." Aestrid said.

Seth left the room and walked through the arena, trying to clear his mind.

But he couldn't… and was unaware that Roman had followed him.
