Chapter 11- They return.
On Smackdown, word spread that the Wyatts returned. They were found in the parking lot muttering utter nonsense. Stephanie McMahon only assumed that Kaden didn't get what he wanted from them and grew board waiting. Still, she tried to talk to the Wyatts to see what they learned. Bray was oddly silent, unable to speak. Luke and Erick kept muttering. "Follow the Buzzards." Yet nothing more.
Kane observed from a far to the Wyatts and their action. The men were tormented and traumatized, Bray may be in a state of shock. "This isn't right, even for them, is it?" said Stephanie.
"Bray never misses the chance to speak, question is, what did Kaden do?" said Kane.
"I thought you could tell me." She shook her head to the Wyatts and gave them time off to recover from their ordeal. As they turned to leave, Bray managed to speak. His voice was horse, but he said. "He's coming for you." Stephanie didn't know who he was trying to direct the message to, Bray's eyes kept darting around the room like a paranoid man. When the door closed, Stephanie turned to Kane. "He needs to be put in his place. I have sent wave after wave of challengers to him, and he's bested them all. No man should be able to do that! On Raw, Kaden runs the gauntlet!"
Kane nodded in agreement, but he was oddly silent, even for him. "Stephanie." He said. "If there was something not brought to my attention, you would have, wouldn't you?"
She froze to the question. "If it is best for business, yes." She managed to say.
"What if I wanted to know, either way? Best for business or not."
She didn't answer, Kane's arms crossed as he snorted a laugh, he smiled. "I should know better than to ask." He walked out of the room with nothing more to say. Stephanie didn't like the way he spoke nor the question she was asked. Hunter needed to know about what was said.

Kane stepped out of the office, however he wasn't expecting anyone waiting for him. He stood with his back to the wall, and stared at the door with determination. "Kaden." Said Kane.
"Dad" he replied. But then a smile broke from his lips. "You like what I did with the Wyatts?"
"They aren't even talking about what has happened between themselves. What did you do?"
Kaden got off the wall but the smile refused to leave his lips. "Just what anyone in the family would have done."
"You couldn't have done it alone, not by any means and especially with three capable men."
"That is true." Said Kaden. "I had help, but I am not saying who assisted me. Not like it matters anyway."
"What is your problem?" Kane growled. "If I am your father, what kind of difference will that make for you? You are already raised into a very capable man, why bother to seek me out?"
Kaden rolled his eyes. "You don't get it, do you?" he said. "I have gone through years without knowing you, without knowing my own mother expect through others. I want to know if what I have been told is true, if it is, great, I have closure. If not, then I got to keep looking."
"What if it's not me?" said Kane.
"Then I will keep looking. But I'll be honest. In Japan, I was going through hell. I got fired from every league there was because I was too big. I survived by shoot fighting. One day it caught up to me, Bryan came out of nowhere and helped me, without even know who I was. He helped me even though it wasn't his fight." Kaden paused. "He helped me try and figure things out, got into a league and honed my skills a little better with his help. I got better until he got the call back to WWE. Asked if I would go with him, so I did. He was the one that introduced me to the Undertaker, I trained with him and got even better. It was the Undertaker who noticed my resemblance to you, made me wonder. But he wouldn't tell me about you until he knew for certain I was your son."
"So Daniel told you." Growled Kane.
"Daniel at least had the heart to tell me of you and what you did. Gave me something to look forward to, a father I could look up to." His head shook. "Now, I don't even know anymore. They way you hurt my best friend, the way you stand by and do nothing to the man who disrespected my mother. Perhaps he was right. I should have waited on picking my year contract. Then again…"
He turned and walked away. Kane wanted to call out to him, yet couldn't bring himself to utter his name.
It didn't matter anyway. It wasn't best for business.
