I own nada.

A couple of weeks went by and Stephanie nor Hunter even mentioned the night he hit her. Hunter didn't look into counseling and Stephanie didn't ask him to. Things were going on that the WWE audience nor Stephanie was even aware of.

For instance, one night while Stephanie was in the shower her phone beeped. Hunter checked it. It was a message for Kurt reading…"Steph where are you? Why won't you talk to me lately?". Hunter then realized that his precious wife did really think Kurt just wanted to be her friend. That's what growing up sheltered by Vince and Shane McMahon will get you…naïve. It was endearing to Hunter. But Kurt Angle still had to be stopped. Hunter erased the message so Stephanie would never see it then called his friends of DX.

"Hey Man" answered X Pac on the other line.

"What's up man. You with all the boys?" Hunter asked. X Pac could tell by his tone something really was up.

"Yeah…what's going on?" he asked curious.

"Someone needs to be taken care of." Hunter said in a low voice so his wife wouldn't hear him.

"AH cool man. Just book the match and me and the boys will take care of this…." He was cut off.

"No this needs to be taken care of in private. Steph can't know so don't tell Torrie." He demanded.

"OOO…private ambushes…we haven't done one of these in awhile." X Pac laughed.

"I'm coming down…stay put."

Ten minutes later, Hunter was in DX's suite explain the Kurt situation to them.

"…And he text and calls her all the time. Steph really thinks he is just being friendly…but I know that Olympic perv wants to plug my wife." Hunter said pacing back and forth in a rage.

"So what do we need to do?" Road Dogg asked worried for his friend and his marriage.

"Find his room. I want to confront the lil bastard without any interference." Hunter said. There was no need for anything else to be said. Road Dogg left to go find where Kurt was. Hunter went to the bar and made himself a stiff drink and sat on the sofa. His phone rang. The caller id read Steph.

"Hey baby" he answered in as innocent as a voice as he could stomach right now.
"Hey hon…where did you run off to?" she said confused.



"Just going to have some drinks with the boys." He said as he winked at X Pac who was grinning.

"Oh…ok well you boys stay out of trouble." She said jokingly.

"Oh baby…no trouble here." He said.

"K. love you."

Hunter hung up and smiled at his friends. She has no idea.

About thirty minutes later, Road Dogg showed up with a key to Kurt Angle's room.

"I flirted with the desk clerk. She said Mr. Angle left about an hour ago but should be back any moment." He said chuckling at the name Mr. Angle.

Hunter went solemn. No facial expression. He was looking down at his drink. He felt everyone staring at him waiting for an order. He looked up and a grin came up on the left side of his face.

"Well let's go welcome Mr. Angle." He said setting down his drink.

Kurt came out of the elevator on his floor. He went to his room and slid the key in. He opened the door to see complete darkness. Next thing you know he is grabbed and thrown to the ground. He can feel punches and kicks all over his body. All of a sudden, he feels arms grabbing him and bringing him to his feet. The light finally comes on over head. Kurt gets enough energy to raise his head and there he sees Triple H sitting in a chair letting out a quick dangerous chuckle.

"What's wrong Kurt? Thought you could try on move on another man's wife and not get punished." Hunter felt his rage building up. He wanted to say what was on his mind but now he just felt the overwhelming urge to hurt Kurt.

"Answer me you sick ass hole." Hunter said as he inched towards Kurt in slow steps.

"Screw you Triple H." Kurt said trying to catch his breath.

"I don't think I'm who you are trying to screw…" Hunter said almost jokingly.

"What are you going to do to me Hunter…Huh?...you gonna beat me like you beat your wife two Mondays ago?" Kurt said snidely.

All of a sudden Kurt felt a fist hit his jaw…but it felt more like a piece of steel.

Hunter was so anger and confused…how did Kurt know about him hitting Steph??

"Pick him back up." He yelled at X Pac and Road Dogg and they did so.



Hunter continuously beat Kurt. When he was finally getting tired he nodded for them to drop him. He stood over Kurt's bloody body and pointed a finger in his face.

"You come near my wife…and I'll kill you."

He then left. Hunter went up to his room after having another drink with the guys. Hunter needed some answers as to why Kurt knew about him accidentally striking her. He felt betrayed, angry, and drunk. He knew this was not a good time to confront his wife but he needed to know. He stumbled into the hotel room to see Steph still in a robe going over some papers.

"Hey baby." She said looking puzzled noticing the smell of bourbon in the air.

He just stared at her. She was beautiful and he was just praying to God she wasn't seeing anyone else.

"How does Kurt know about that night a couple of weeks ago?"

Stephanie looked down and moved her papers out of her lap. Hunter was drunk because he was upset…not because he was having a good time with the boys. Stephanie's heart went out to her husband. She could see he was hurting and she could tell he still didn't trust her. She went to go hug him but he back away.

"How does he know Steph?" he said looking hurt.

She sighed. She knew he was about to lose his temper either way.

"After you left, he stopped by and saw my face. I told him you didn't do it and to leave me alone. And that's the truth." She said sitting back down on the bed.

"Well he must not have believed you because he accused me of beating you and WON'T leave you alone." He said his voice getting louder. "Give me the god damn truth."

"Ok HUNTER…the truth IS you DID hit me…and I DID tell Kurt it wasn't you…and I DID tell him to leave me alone." She shouted as she began putting on jeans and a t shirt.

"Where are you going?" Hunter said taking notice she was grabbing her purse.

"I don't know" she mumbled as she walked out the door and slammed it behind her.
