Amanda didn't want to open her eyes, it was instinct to because she had been used to early alarms… but she found that under her right ear, she could hear Finn's heart beating and realised that she hadn't used her pillow much.

Amanda was about to readjust herself but out of instinct, Finn's arms tightened around her.

"You're not gonna let me stand up, are you?" Amanda asked quietly.

"Nu-uh." Finn muttered by her ear, pulling her gently back down.

Amanda groaned sleepily, rubbing her eyes and hearing a knock at the door.

"Enzo, is that you?" Finn asked, opening his eyes.

"You ain't letting go of Mandy, are ya?" Enzo responded.

Lauren stopped after hearing that.

"Well now that I'm more awake, good morning. And if you go in there, he's being clingy to her." Enzo said after seeing her.

"Mornin'... hey you two in there, if you want him to come in, I can let him in for you!" Lauren said, the second part towards the door.

"We'll be up in a bit…" Finn said, helping Amanda sit up. They hugged before he stood up and walked over, letting Enzo and Lauren in.

"You feeling okay now, both of you?" Lauren asked.

"A bit… it's gonna take some time." Amanda said, her throat dried out.

"It does…" Lauren said, before reaching into the right side pocket of her sports jacket and handing Amanda a small bottle of fruit juice she'd had, after hearing the dryness in her voice.

Amanda opened it and drank it slowly after nodding, feeling the relief hit her right away… but she was trying to figure out how to put it into words what Finn had said last night.

Lauren could see it though, Amanda's mind wasn't processing much in the early morning hours.

Amanda saw a text on her phone, seeing that it was from Hunter.

'Look out the window.'

Carefully standing up and hobbling to the window, Amanda looked… and then turned back to the others.

"You won't believe this…" Amanda said as Finn, Enzo and Lauren reached the window and saw what Amanda had seen, Alexa being shoved into the back of a squad car.

"Ma'am, do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?" One of the officers asked, getting impatient with Alexa, who was still resisting after being tasered twice… and kicked the officer right between his legs, the officer falling and Alexa being tased again and shoved into the car before the door was slammed.

"Assaulting an officer usually gets someone quite a few years behind bars, right?" Enzo asked.

"Usually." Lauren answered as Finn helped Amanda sit down and prop her ankle up.

"Unless she takes a plea bargain like Tonya Harding did in 1994." Amanda says, readjusting her hair into a ponytail.

"How in the hell do you even remember that? You were just a kid when that happened." Enzo said, Lauren slapping him upside his head.

"You'd be surprised what you can find online." Amanda responds.

In the lobby downstairs, Rat saw Seth walk in.

"I take it you just saw her getting taken off to jail?" Rat asked.

"Yeah… look, some of us have been talking amongst ourselves, trying to figure out what secret service uses teenagers as spies…" Seth says after sitting down. "You all really should be enjoying this time in your lives, not working for the government… why did you decide to do this?" He asked.

"Well, I was gonna ask them but you already did." Randy says after sitting down.

"In some way or another, we all followed a similar path… tiny families without many people to take care of us, outcasted from friends… then our parents were gone. Sometimes they commit crimes and go to prison, sometimes their lives ended… one way or another, we came to end up in care homes where our talents got noticed by an agent on a scouting trip. Not everyone takes up the offer to join, some people can't succeed the trials… but I suppose…" Rat said, trailing off before taking a folded piece of card from his pocket and handing it to Seth, who opened it and saw a small crowd of kids, ranging from their early to mid teens, all looking like they were having the time of their lives and at the far left, Rat was there. "I suppose… most of us joined originally to have somewhere to belong, have people who'd really care… feel some sort of purpose to our lives."

"Everyone has to find one…" Seth says, handing the photo back to Rat.

"Yeah… and from what I had found out, Mandy was the youngest out of you all for a long time. I guess when Alexa joined, she automatically expected the attention to be on herself instead…" Rat says.

"When it was still on Mandy, that's when Alexa got pissed." Randy said as he checked his phone. "She's most likely still asleep now."

"Do you remember how this all started?" Rat asked.

"Yeah…" Randy says, starting to explain.

11/17/14, WWE Performance Centre…

"Just because I can't wrestle for another few weeks doesn't mean I can't strengthen my arms again… and you know that Konnor and Viktor apologized for injuring my kidney. And why are you hovering over me, aren't you supposed to be getting ready for Thanksgiving?" Amanda says after putting the 10 pound barbells back and stretching her arms, Randy seeing the outline of the stitches on her back through her shirt.

"You know it won't be the same without you, Alanna misses her godmother… and I've been wanting to ask…" Randy starts to say, trailing off but Amanda knew where he was going.

"You're on the fence about my friendship with Finn, aren't ya?" Amanda questioned, knowing that look. "You think after the 13 years you've known my family that I wouldn't recognise that concerned look? I know you're worried, Randy."

"Aw, isn't this cute."

Both looked, seeing Alexa.

"We don't have a sparring session today, I'm just trying to build my strength back up." Amanda says, trying to keep a fight from starting and Alexa could see that.

"Go rest." Randy said, him and Amanda hugging before she left and he turned to Alexa. "I was fucked up mentally for a long time and took it out on her in horrible, traumatizing ways but she and I both grew up and I still care about her."

"Then keep her away from Balor." Alexa said.

"They're good for each other and his blood is the reason she's still alive after that madness on NXT. Or are you with your sense of entitlement just jealous that you're not in the spotlight yet, little miss Bliss?" Randy says, Alexa narrowing her eyes at him in anger.

Amanda was leaned against the wall in the hallway… and yelped slightly when she felt the waistband of her yoga leggings hit her, turned and saw Finn smirking playfully.

"Good one…" Amanda said, Finn letting the smirk fall when he saw that she wasn't as energetic as she was earlier and rested his right hand on her left shoulder. "Lexa tried to start some stupid fight… you ever feel like some people are just crazy without an explanation as to why?" She asked.

"Quite simple… it's not Darth Vader, it's Diva Vader." Finn joked, trying to cheer her up a bit as well as giving a serious answer.

Amanda laughed before the two hugged, letting herself calm down.

"You always have a way to make me feel better…" Amanda said quietly.

Present time…

The three stopped outside the room, Seth looking at Randy and Rat when they glanced at him.

"Should I… knock on the door? I don't want to piss her off again." Seth said nervously.

"How hard did she slap you, Rollins?" Randy asked.

Seth opened his mouth, revealing a chipped tooth and Randy knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" Amanda called out.

"The three Rs! Ratty, Randy and Rollins!" Rat replied.

The door opened, Finn stepping aside and letting them in before closing the door… and Amanda looking at Seth.

"I'm sorry about slapping you…" Amanda says, thinking that Seth had wanted an apology but instead he carefully pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be, I was an idiot last night. How you feeling today?" Seth responded after they let go.

"Okay… for the most part. Didn't think I'd see anyone being taken away in handcuffs today." Amanda answered.

"Any idea who had called the cops?" Randy asked.

"I think we already know the answer, Hunter doesn't let anything like that go." Amanda answered.

"Overly protective boss?" Rat asked.

"He's more like family…" Amanda says, turning to Rat.
