Notes: I'm glad I got this chapter finished before going to the movie theater to watch UFC 180. If you are watching it too tonight enjoy!
Roman kept a firm hold of Seth as Graves, Harper, Batista, and Orton all left the ring quickly. The others didn't even give Seth a second look. He dragged Seth backstage and Seth didn't even fight him.
"Where's Dean?" He demanded giving the younger man a firm shake.
"You made your choice," Seth said trying to get loose from Roman. "Not my fault you couldn't figure out it was a trick. Hunter's the cerebral assassin. Not my fault you fell for it."
It took all of Roman's willpower not to punch Seth in the mouth. "I want you to tell me the truth."
Seth just smiled at him. "Nah I don't think you want to hear the truth Roman. They're long gone anyway and I don't know where they are." He started tugging at his hair. "I…Roman I don't know what to do." He finally said truthfully. "I was told to make you think I was hurt so you would leave the locker room to hunt down Stephanie. They brought Dean in…" he stopped as if he was fighting himself. "You are such an idiot."
Roman wasn't sure if that last line was directed to him or Seth. "Seth…"
"I thought I was fixed so Bray couldn't get to me but he did! I would have rather had been beaten by Evolution then be made a Wyatt. Now we don't know where Dean is and…and I think they did it again." Seth didn't need to say what that was. Roman charged past him looking for anyone in Evolution, Wyatts, or Authority.
Cesaro kicked the struggling Dean in the ankle and he stopped moving. "What exactly are we doing with him anyway?" He asked Orton.
"Don't know," Orton said, "Hunter's supposed to come pick him up. We just have to make sure Reigns doesn't come back here. Hopefully Seth does his job and keeps him distracted." He pushed Cesaro aside and kicked Dean in the head. The blond was out.
"I wish he'd hurry up because the Wyatts are giving me the creeps," Corey Graves said looking at Harper and Rowan that were standing not too far away. Their leader Bray was somewhere in the arena but no one seemed to know where at the moment.
"You aren't a member of either group Graves," Cesaro reminded him. "Hunter wanted to keep Roman distracted and you were a perfect choice. You can leave any time you want."
"Maybe I will," Corey said, "maybe I'll go tell Reigns where he can find Ambrose since I'm not longer needed and all."
"Do that and that'll be the last thing you ever do in this company," Hunter said walking up to them. He leaned down and looked at Dean who was unconscious and still gagged and blindfolded. "I take it Roman chose Nikki."
"Cena didn't even know his girlfriend was missing," Orton said with a smile.
"Probably was glad. Dave," he said turning to Batista who was standing beside him, "grab Dean and let's get out of here. I don't want Reigns and Rollins to find him."
"What do I tell Bray," Luke asked.
"Tell him to forget Rollins I've got something else in mind for him." He looked down at his phone and scowled. "We gotta move fast." He looked at an unused box and smiled as an idea came to him.
Roman had searched all over the arena for the Authority but couldn't find them. It appeared Stephanie wasn't in the arena but someone had to set up the whole box thing. He had a feeling the reason he didn't see Cesaro, Batista, or Rowan was because someone had to grab Dean and he was sure that Heyman couldn't move Dean much less pick him up.
"Roman," Seth called. "I see them!"
Roman hurried around the corner and found Batista and Orton struggling to move a box. Roman charged at them and knocked them both down. Seth meanwhile started to open the box.
Roman clobbered Batista and Orton until he heard Seth call his name.
Roman turned around, releasing his hold on Orton, to walk over to the box. Orton and Batista hurried away.
Roman looked in the box and didn't know whether to laugh or scream. Inside of the box was a very pissed off Corey Graves.
He turned around but knew Orton and Batista were gone.
