Claire took off after Ember giggling. They'd just pulled another prank on The Miz, and now they were running like hell to hide. Ember had just made it through the door, and Claire was about to, but she crashed into a pair of legs and looked up, gulping.

Rob stood there, towering over her, and he smirked as he picked her up and then said "How many times has your mom told you it's not a good idea to wander off? Now look what's going to happen." Claire barely had time to scream as he ran towards the door with her.

Down the hallway, Ember had seen Claire get picked up. She only knew one thing to do, and so she did it, running to find Claire's daddy and mom, then her own.

Dean was talking to Megan when he felt tugging on his pants legs and looked down to find Kane and Tristen's daughter, Ember standing there, shaking and pale."You okay?"

"Somebody took Claire." Ember said as she bit her fingernails and Dean blinked as the words she'd said sunk in. Megan began to tear up and paced, crying as she picked up a garbage can and threw it.

Her cell phone rang, and she was about to answer, but Dean snatched it as he nodded at Ember and then mouthed to Megan, "Take her to her mom and dad, babe."

Once they were out of the room, Ember said quietly, "He was scary lookin.. Is Claire gonna be okay?"

"She will, sweetie, because I'm gonna kill that man you saw.. I need to talk to your mom.. Where was she when you two snuck off to play?"

"She was in the dressin room."

Megan nodded and carried Ember into the dressing room, explaining what happened to Tristen and Trish, Kaitlyn and AJ.

Tristen listened in shock and then asked Ember, "Did you hear him say anything, Emmy?"

"Uh Uh.. I just looked out to see what was takin her so long and I seen the man grabs her, mommy.. I was so scared."

"I know, baby.. but we're gonna get her back." Tristen said as Trish nodded and Kaitlyn and AJ added, "And then we're going to kill that damn man."

"First, I'm gonna kill Ryback.. Rob's been getting in with his help, I think." Megan said as she spotted a chair standing against a wall in the hallway. She turned her attention to the monitor, and watched. If she wanted to know where her daughter was, then she had to do this. Ryback, she had no doubt in her mind, knew where Rob had taken Claire.

And Megan was not in the mood to play games tonight. She was scared and she was furious.

But before she could even get to the gorilla, the speakers echoed with the sounds of "Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta" and she watched as the lights went off, then came back on, to reveal Dean beating the living hell out of the man in the ring, having obviously reached the same conclusion as Megan had.

Dean snarled as he got his hands on the larger man and then said "I'm gonna ask you one time, Ryback.. Where the fuck did that little shit take my daughter?"

"And why in the hell am I telling you anything, Ambrose?" Ryback growled back as he ducked a chair shot, got Dean into an Irish whip and was about to bounce his head off the ring stairs until he heard Megan's theme music start to play, and she jogged down the ramp, baseball bat in hand.

"Ryback, tell me now. Where the fuck is my little girl?" Megan asked as she held the bat up menacingly. When he didn't answer, she swung at his head and he dropped. Dean stood and then grabbed Megan and said "Get to the back now, god damn it.. Don't ya think woman? What if that little shit is just waitin to grab ya? It's bad enough I wasn't watchin Claire as close as I shoulda been and he got her. He aint gettin both of ya.. And he's gonna die when I'm done with him."

"Dean.."

"Go now, damn it."

Roman spoke up from behind Megan and said "C'mon, Meg.. we'll go look around the arena, while he's handling this."

But Megan wasn't satisfied. She turned and walked back, gave Ryback a low blow and then leaning in she said calmly, 'If that jerk touches one hair on her head, Rybitch.. You and Rob are going to burn in hell."

The security ran down and broke up Dean and Ryback, and Dean ran to the back, helping Megan look for Claire.. They heard her crying in a locked room and Dean growled as he said "I'm gonna fuckin kill him." as he ran at the door, lunging and knocking it open.

Claire heard her dad calling her name, took off at a bleary eyed run at his legs as she said "Daddy.. Rob here.. He say he gonna get me and momma before tonight over."

"No, Claire, I got him already.. He's gone." Dean muttered as he picked up the little girl, hugged her, looking at her carefully. "See? I told ya you and ya ma were safe."

Megan watched them from the doorway, smiling to herself as she walked in finally, rested her head against his shoulder from behind and said quietly, "Now if my heart would get out of my throat."

Dean nodded quietly, then said "It's my fault." quietly, before turning to look at her, expecting her to be angry, blame him for Claire getting away.

"Dean, don't.. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. She's a kid, she's got Ember to play with, she's gonna sneak away and go visit some of the guys and the girls while we're on the road."

"Yeah, but what if he'd have made off with her, Meggy?" Dean asked calmly, angry at himself, still very much freaked out currently.

Megan sighed and then realized that for every two steps forward they took, apparently, he was going to spook and take two back. "Dean, don't start that now.. If you want to be technical about it, I'm just as much to blame for it as you are, because I should have been watching her too." as she looked at him, put her arms around him, hugging both him and Claire tightly as she kissed him and said "Look.. I realize this is a lot for you to get used to, but you cannot do this, you cannot get spooked everytime something happens to her."

"Yeah, the hell I can. I'm supposed to be her dad. Not supposed to let bad shit happen to her.. Like it did..." Dean trailed off as Megan groaned and then put her finger to his lips as she looked at Claire and said "Sweetie? Tell daddy who saved you just now."

"Daddy, if you wouldna come got me outta here, I'd have gotten snatched.." Claire said as she buried her head in his neck, putting her thumb into her mouth. Dean managed a smirk, tried to pretend that he believed them both, but tonight only made his faith in his actually doing this, being a father, especially when he hadn't had one himself..

It only made his faith in himself, in being a dad that much shakier.
