Dean and Roman are summoned to Stephanie and Vince's office. Dean glares at them as he walks in and sits down when Vince motions him to. Hunter was standing behind Stephanie who was sniffling and kept dabbing at her eyes. Roman eyed them all suspiciously. He didn't trust any of the McMahon's and they way they where acting was putting him on alert. Roman sits by Dean and looks at him.

Stephanie sobs when she tries to talk. Dean raises his eyebrow at her and then looks at Hunter.

Dean shakes his head, "Maybe we should come back later?"

Roman shakes his head, "or not at all."

Hunter shakes his head and then speaks softly, "Stay.. We have to tell you something."

Dean eyes them and fidgets in his seat not certain he is going to like this. Roman rests his hand on Dean's back trying to keep Dean calm.

Stephanie speaks softly, "Seth was killed this morning."

Dean looks at her and then bursts out laughing, "You're joking.. right... Stephanie.. don't be a bitch.. Tell me you're joking."

Roman looks at her and then balls his hands into fists, "this better be.."

Vince holds up his hands and speaks calmly, "Boys.. I'm sorry."

Dean lets out a ragged sob that would break the hardest of hearts, "No.. you're joking. ..." Dean stands suddenly and grabs Hunter, slamming him against the wall, "You assholes.. Tell me.."

Hunter just wraps an arm around Dean and lets him sob and push against him, "I'm sorry Dean."

Roman grits out, "Tell me how.."

Vince takes a breath and speaks calmly and evenly, "There was a car accident. Seth went off the road and was killed."

Dean feels something break as he hears the news and falls to his knees. Roman moves from his seat, wrapping his arms around Dean, to hold him tightly. Dean sobs and screams, "No he's not dead.."

Stephanie is the one that moves and touches Roman's shoulder, "I'm sorry Roman.. I'm so sorry."

The next few hours pass by in a blur for both men. The boys are numb as they allow Hunter to arrange a driver to take them to the hotel. When they arrive Jey and Jimmy are waiting for them at the hotel. Stephanie had called them and they had all agreed to come to the room and be there for both men. Jimmy and Jey both pull the boys into their arms and don't let go when both break into pieces.

The funeral was beautiful. Stephanie and Hunter spared no expense. The casket was closed and Stephanie said it was due to accident. Roman and Dean where taken off Raw with Jimmy, Jey and Naomi. They all stayed at Roman's home and none of them left the house for a solid week after the service. Dean couldn't believe it was true and though he knew it was he didn't want to.

Then something came in the mail that made everyone question.

Dean looks at the envelope that was slipped under the door this morning. It wasn't delivered by the mail man so someone had to have dropped it off. Roman looks over Dean's shoulder trying to figure out where it came from. Dean opened it and read the contents. He then drops it, his hands flying to his mouth. Roman grabs the letter and reads the line twice.

Things are not always what they seem. Dig deeper boys or risk everything.
