Chapter 10- The opportunity
Raw.
Over the weekend Serpentine and I went over plans, ideas and possible ways Stephanie, Hunter and Kane may try and stop us. However a strange change of events occurred. I was given a phone call from Stephanie McMahon herself, claiming that she arranged for the Undertaker to be on Raw. I was just to be informed about it.
Shortly after, Kane called. "You WILL be on Raw, if you are not, you will not be given another opportunity. There is a condition. Serpentine cannot be present."
"What? What gives you the right to say if I can be there or not!" Serpentine hissed.
"It's no problem Kane. I will be at Raw without him. You must promise me though that I get to meet the Undertaker. Is that clear? You of all people know I will not waste this chance."
There was silence on the other end for a moment. I heard Kane give out a deep breath of air. "Alright, no funny business. Nothing, got it?"
I agreed to the terms and as long as Kane stays to his promise I will stay to mine. Serpentine was pissed however, he didn't want me to go alone. "I smell a trap!" he growled to me. "What's protecting you from the locker room? You know they will do everything to make you look bad in front of the Deadman. How will you combat it?"
"Serpentine, you forget the reason why we are doing this. And the one I need the Undertaker's help with." I reached into my suitcase and took out the picture. Serpentine smiled as he stared at the photo.
"Kane said no funny business."
"You find something funny about him?" I asked and looked to the picture.

I kept true to my word, oddly enough. The moment I arrived I saw Kane pacing the back in a rather nervous manner. When he saw me, his eyes rolled. "You're late!" he scolded.
His tone made me freeze in my tracks. "Late? I wasn't given a time frame."
"Never mind we are behind schedule already. Come with me." I didn't know what to think let alone make of the situation. Kane wants me to follow him. Question is, should I? I walked the halls close behind him rather reluctantly. He took me to the office where Stephanie and Hunter awaited me. Stephanie smiled. "You get your wish tonight Miss Lee. The Undertaker will be here soon."
"This is all well and good, but why did you try and hide the truth from me last week?" I asked.
"So you would have time to come up with a freak in a suit to use against us" Hunter said rather bluntly.
Stephanie was quick to glare at him as she tried to hide her anger with a smile. "He has been informed of you and shows interest in meeting you. You cannot be late what so ever. The Undertaker does not appreciate anyone or anything wasting his time." She said.
I simply nodded my head to them. "Is this all you wished to inform me about?" I asked.
"Yes, so, don't be late." Said Triple H.
I left the office, but couldn't shake the feeling something was going down tonight.
For the rest of the night I stayed close to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Neither one trusted the idea that the McMahons would keep their word. Sadly, they couldn't stay with me when they were called out for a match. I was in the locker room watching the events unfold. Kane was seen often, pacing with worry. No one knows when the Undertaker arrives until he makes his presence felt.
As I watched, I heard the door behind me creep open. "Punk, you and Daniel are back already?"
"Not quite."
Jumping from my seat, I turned and saw the Shield standing behind me. The three men smiled as they stared at me. "You left your freak behind, good. That means you won't be getting any help."
"I have an agreement with Stephanie and Hunter!" I snapped to them.
"And now you have an agreement with us. Sit down, shut up and don't try anything funny!" snapped Dean.
Reluctantly, I did as I was told and sat in the chair. They let me watch Raw, the night took a turn for the worst when the Undertaker appeared.
The Deadman wouldn't be in the ring alone. Kane was already standing there and waiting for him. A funny thing happened moments after The Deadman entered the ring. Despite being the best in the business, there was another thing the Undertaker had that was second to none.
The best WTF face there is!
The moment he stared at Kane, his eyes widened a little more. He looked him over up and down. Kane extended his hand and tried to welcome the Undertaker back. He was quick to take a mic of his own and say. "Who the hell are you?"
I snickered as it occurred, the crowd burst into fits of laughter as Kane forced a smile. "You know who I am…"
"I asked you. Who the hell are you. I know who you are, you don't!"
Burn on Kane.
Shield smiled as Kane announced that there was someone to meet him. I stood up but Roman pushed me back down into the chair. "Sit" he growled.
"But they are waiting for me!"
"Exactly" said Seth.
I realized it was all a set up. They weren't going to let me see the Undertaker, in fact they took the chance to make me look stupid and disrespectful! Yet as I watched Raw, Kane was looking at the rampway for me.
He was expecting me to show up.
"I don't understand, I told them…" Kane suddenly paused as he figured out for himself what was happening. He got out of the ring and began to walk up the ramp. He made his way into the back, as Triple H stepped out and took over.
"My deepest apology Undertaker, it seems the person who couldn't wait to meet you, back out the last moment."
That's what he thinks…
