Lanay made it back to her little apartment in record time quickly sending a text to Hunter that the deed was done. The kill felt lackluster, what she wanted to do was dance in The Shield's faces, specifically Seth. The energy she felt was excruciating there was no outlet after her kill.

Her phone rang abruptly brining her out of her non-euphoric bliss she felt.

"Hello?"

"Naughty girl, naughty girl."

"Why hello Ambrose. I didn't expect you to show your cards so soon. You must be nervous. Don't fret, you're not next."

"We expect to be."

"Really? You're nervous. That's so cute. I never thought the mighty Ambrose would be afraid of wittle ol' me." Lanay sang the last part of the sentence. Yes, this is exactly what I needed.

The chuckle on the end was tinged with anger. "You don't know who you're fucking with."

"Did you get permission from your master to call me? Is he running this call? I know you can't do shit without him just like the bitch you are."

"I can't wait to get my-"

"Wait to do what? Run from me? I know you Ambrose, don't forget who you're fucking with. You couldn't even finish your training. You're going to be another casualty just like your comrade Dolph ahh… strong Dolph. I can still hear him begging for his life. He was weak, just like you. 'Please Lanay, don't do this'" Trina mocked Dean, feeling the anger coming back towards her. "I will do anything I promise, here are the records you need." Lanay continued in her poor impersonation. "His lips were quite soft though as I felt his life leaving him." Lanay smiled reliving the memory of killing Dolph Ziggler, a once trusted comrade of The Authority but he turned as soon as he got a better offer. "I can't wait to feel yours too, see the light leaving your eyes. I'll make it as painful as possible. I'll give you the last taste of my lips against yours. A great send off for the man who wished he had everything."

Dean tried to act unaffected by her words but couldn't as she mocked the death of his best friend. "I'm going to fucking hang you in front of Hunter's office."

Lanay laughed softly. "Just make sure you fuck me before you hang me, will Reigns watch again or maybe we can hide it from Rollins."

"Shut up."

"So you're not alone. Are they aware of this call you placed?" Lanay was going to ask him how he got the number but Hunter stated there was a traitor in their midst and it was up to her to find it out now.

"They're not."

"Want to talk dirty then? I'm up for it. It's been two years but I think I still got it in me."

"Fuck you."

"Meh, been there done that. What about Reigns? Is he next in line?"

"Stop that."

"You called me! I didn't call you so what the hell do you want?"

"Lanay… you're better than this. Hunter has trained you into his loyal killing machine and when you're disposable do you know what's going to happen?"

Lanay heard someone in the background yelling at the man and heard Dean offer some sort of apology as the phone rustled in between them.

"Lanay."

"Roman… I should've known you were next on this unpleasant phone call."

"What happened to you?"

"Roman, don't."

Lanay hated his voice filled with pity and despair out of the trio he was the more neutral one. He kept all of them sane during Hunter's training and numerous tests.

"I just, you don't see what's in front of you."

"What is there to see? I see money and a list of names. Your target or protector was on said list and he got dealt with."

"Stay away from this."

"That's a no go Rome. You just stay the hell out of my way."

There was silence on the other end and more rustling and she was more prepared for the next voice on the phone.

"Why did you call her?" The other voice asked however mouth was directly in the phone.

"Am I being played swing around phone town now? Why was I called?"

"I told you to leave it alone Lanay." Seth's stern voice came out the call. "You don't want us coming after you."

"I'd love to see you try Rollins."

"We were trained together Lanay, next to each other, under each other…"

"Don't remind me."

"I know your moves."

"I know yours too. Why are you three taking this one so hard? You know it's in our job descriptions. God, I should've gotten rid of you when I had the fucking chance." Lanay repeated her thoughts from earlier. "State what you want or get the hell off my phone." Lanay knew her number would be changed again before the end of the day but there was something nostalgic about the banter between all three.

"You couldn't do it could you?"

"Obvs. I can't say the same for Jimmy Jacobs though."

"Don't go there."

"The perfect set up. I owe you for that one Rollins, sacrificing your friend in your place. It takes a ruthless man."

"You couldn't do it to me however. You tried. The tears coming down your face were so weak. I wish I snapped a picture to send to someone, you cried over my supposed death Lanay. A true killer wouldn't shed tears for anyone." The words left his mouth without thinking. He knew it hurt her just as it hurt him feeling the knife twist.

"I'm not weak." The words were clenched between her teeth.

"Oh? How easy was it for me to crawl in your bed? To seduce not only your mind but your heart as well. I played you like a fucking bass guitar, had you crawling on your knees for me." Seth wanted to stop the words but he hated when she one-upped him. It was this dangerous game they played amongst each other to see who could cut the other down first. Their relationship was never healthy, started on a weak front that turned heavy fast.

"And you ended up with a knife in the stomach Rollins. I may not have finished the job but I was damn close to it."

"You didn't finish it though. "There was silence on the other end and Seth knew he had her. "Listen Lanay, don't do this between us."

"It's been years since we saw each other. I'm sure you've found a warm hole in between, maybe used someone else in the meantime."

"I never used you, ever. I think you're getting our stories confused."

"Never. I never used you. You… fuck… not now." Lanay meant to say more to herself than him. You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant; but yet you draw not iron, for my heart is true as steel: leave you your power to draw, and I shall have no power to follow you.

"Cause you love me."

Lanay shook herself from her thoughts, from the past finding her beings again "You're not using past tense there Rollins I LOVED you and I wanted to make sure you were alive to witness this bit of news: Ambrose is better in bed than you are. I gotta go now Seth. Muah." Lanay hung up the phone picturing Seth's face with the news.

It was true however she couldn't carry out the task of leaving no witnesses and got punished badly for it. The battle between The Shield and her were just starting and as a one woman army she prayed she was prepared.

A/N: UGH! Sorry for posting another chapter. I couldn't help myself. Next chapter will involve more Hunter and Stephanie but I needed a little backstory on Shield and Lanay. There will be more developments as the story continues.
