As instructed Summer went to the Calloway's residence. She was let through the main gates when she said what her name was, although it was late evening, they still allowed her through. She thought they were under the impression that she had Paige with her when in truth she was looking for the younger raven haired woman. She also knew that meant she would have to tell Paige's father, brothers and step-mother what had happened and that they didn't have the slightest clue where she could be now. She smiled slightly as she exited her car, seeing both her brothers waiting outside, they looked hopeful, but when she shook her head their smiles faded as did the hope in their eyes.
"Is Mark and Michelle here? There is something the four of you need to know" asked Summer, her voice serious, they knew then that something was wrong, they had a Roman's partner on their doorstep without Paige with her, she appeared to worried about something, and was there to tell them something, something that appeared to be rather important and appeared to have something with their baby sister. Summer wasn't looking forward to it, but she knew they had to know everything that had happened to Paige, that she was pregnant by Dean, that he had broken her heart, how she had lost the child she was carrying and that she was now missing, she had to explain why she left the mansion and that there was someone else out there looking for her. They were her family they needed to know what was going on.
Summer was lead into the main living room of the house, she smiled again at Viktor, where as Konnor went and got Michelle and his father, explaining to them that Summer was there and there was something important that she wanted to inform them off. Mark appeared rather concerned at this as he had yet to tell his boys that their step brother had been found and was on his way to Tampa to reunite with his sister, Paige. Michelle looked more worried about what she was going to be told, she loved Paige, Viktor and Konnor like they were her own children, she didn't want anything to happen to either of them, and was truly heart broken when she was lead to believe that Paige was dead. She was even more relieved to find out that she was alive just hidden and under a different name. She often seen Paige in the centre she owned or in the place soon become Dark Angels.
"I know there are things Roman hasn't told you about Paige since she joined us, but at this time she has put herself in danger. And I think you ought to know what has happened with her, to make her leave the mansion where she has been living with us, since we took her into hiding" said Summer, once all of them had sat down, she revealed that there were things that neither Roman. Dean or Seth had told them since they took Paige into hiding, and that the raven haired woman had put herself in a lot of danger. "I'm not sure if Paige told any of you that she and Dean were in a relationship, a month or so ago she was in the store that is to become Dark Angels, when Hunter and Randy showed up, they found me but not her, Randy randomly shot at one of the walls, not knowing she was in a hidden compartment, he shot her in the shoulder and right side of her stomach, forcing her to have a miscarriage" added Summer pausing for a few moments to give them time for the information she had told them to sink in. "She has made a full recovery, our doctor, Dr Galloway phoned her up a few days later to inform her the test results come back, and that it would be very hard if not impossible for her to conceive again. The same day all of us find out Emma, our receptionist and Seth's former partner, had an affair with Dean and was now carrying his child. The combined news pushed Paige over the edge and she tried to commit suicide again by tearing out her stitches, Seth and Roman got to her just in time. To prevent any arguments and allow both Seth and Paige time to heal we sent the pair and AJ and her husband Punk to Isle Noir our private island, they came back earlier today. Dean and Paige spoke about there relationship and where they stand with each other. Paige decided to end their relationship, while Dean tried to convince her otherwise, she said some rather worrying things before leaving the safety of the mansion, I came here to inform you and see if she came here, where as Seth is searching her favourite places to go, Roman is at home with Emma and Dean making sure they don't course more damage than they already have" explained Summer, once the first part and sank in, she didn't want to be the one to tell them but knew if she didn't then, it was likely they wouldn't find out at all.
"What did she say before she left the mansion?" asked Viktor, at this point having no idea what to think, he had known about the relationship between her and Dean, and was happy for them, but he was unaware she was pregnant, was shot and had a miscarriage, had her heart broken again, and tried to commit suicide because of it. He was at least thankful, she had someone to go with her to the island who knew how she was feeling. He was concerned about what was going to happen to Paige, he knew she wouldn't willingly go back to a place that held pain for her, and she wouldn't return home because that is the first place the authority would look for her. He couldn't think of anywhere else she would go where she was safe and out of harms why.
"She said that Dean, Seth, Emma, Roman and myself were better off without her, that if she wasn't there then none of what happened would have, and that she is just a burden to us" replied Summer, she could see the concern grow on the faces of her family members. Like she knew Roman was worried at home, that Dean was both heart broken and worried, in her opinion he deserved the heart break considering the amount of pain he and Emma put Seth and Paige through. Seth was out looking for her, where as Emma had accepted what happened was wrong and revealed she had tried to get Dean to tell Paige the truth before, she was worried but knew she would be no help at the moment. That is when Summer's phone began to buzz, she noticed the message was from Seth, she felt both dread and relief that she had heard from him, while Paige's family looked at each other wondering what Paige could have meant, Summer looked at the message. A small smile appeared on her lips as she did so and relief washed over.
Seth had gone to the cemetery, just curious if she would have gone to her own grave. When he got there he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, just the normal, a few cars in the parking lot, the main gate slightly open and a lot of tomb stone both old and new. If he was honest he hated coming here at night, but at this point he had no choice, he had to find Paige before she got herself hurt or worse killed. He wanted to tell her that she was wanted, she had her family to think of, she also had a brother to reunite with and she had each of them to care for her. AJ would probably go psycho on Dean if she ended up in her morgue, Punk wouldn't be the happiest, Emma would probably be overwhelmed with guilt, Dean even more heart broken, Summer probably angry since it could have been avoided, Roman not sure what he would be like and Seth, himself he would be like Summer angry. Seth pulled out his flash light going to where Paige's tomb was. When he got there he was met with a figure curled up on the ground. He could tell that she was both cold and had been crying. It occurred to him then why she was there.
"Paige" whispered Seth, sitting on the ground next to her. He slowly pulled her up and close to him. Hugging her when she wrapped herself nearer to him. "This is your fault Paige, it would have still happened if you weren't with us, the only difference would be, I would be the only one to be hurt, and probably would have got through it like I have. Trust me when I say you're not a burden on us, you're a gift, our lives were the same day in and day out, you changed that, you got Summer out of the house more, Emma a friend to talk to, Roman has someone else he loves and wants to protect, you gave Dean someone to love even if he made the stupid decision to throw it away, and you gave me a best friend and sister to talk to. I love you like a sister Paige, if I was to lose you know I would probably commit mass murder, and never forgive Dean or Emma for the part they played" continued Seth, rubbing her back and finally admitting her loved her like a sister, someone he could go to about anything and not be judged.
"I don't want to go back there. I thought I would be able to handle it, but I can't. I just want to go home. Back to when none of this happened. I want to find out who I really am. Finn is coming here and I know he wont be able to help me to find the truth. I have to go back home to find the real me and what my mum was hiding us from. Why she kept both me and Finn a secret. I just want to know who I really am. I don't want to be lost any more. I don't want to wonder through life scared about what is going to come after me, scared that something from my mums past will find me, I don't want to be afraid any more, I don't want to be hunted like some wild animal. I just want to be happy, I want to live a normal life where I don't have to worry about what's around the next corner, I don't have to hide from the world, where I can live my life freely and how I want to live it" replied Paige, revealing just how scared she had been, and what she now wanted, Seth nodded at her quickly sending Summer a message, telling her he had found Paige but taken her to the penthouse where she will be safe, he also told her that he is going to take her back to her birth place so she can find who she really is.
"Okay, how about we go to the penthouse, or the beach house whichever one you want to go to. I will get Rome to bring some clothes over and we stay there for a while. You reunite with Finn tomorrow, then we make a plan together where you can go back to England, and discover who you really are. I will be there every step of the way, so you don't have to go at it alone, and so you don't have to afraid any more. For you only I will be your big brother, a knight in shiny black armour" replied Seth, seeing her smile a bit and hearing her quiet whispers of wanting to go to the penthouse. He knew he had to keep her away from Dean for the time being, at least until things had settled down and Dean understood and accepted her decision to go separate ways with him. He knew Emma would have understood, and would likely try and get Dean to understand her decision like Summer and Roman would but that it would take time.
It wasn't long before the arrived at the penthouse. Paige smiled a watery smile when she walked through the double door entrance, Seth behind her. To her it was breath taking. If she was honest she felt like a princess, she wished she could feel like that all the time. Seth stood at her side as she looked around in amazement, when it was revealed she would join them permanently Roman had a room for her put in everyone of their homes, including the beach house, and had a little apartment done for her as well. She had yet to see the apartment as it hadn't been completed yet, they were still in the midst of knocking down walls, taking things out and adding other things in. He made it his mission to see the girls that joined them feel like they were princesses. He thought Paige was deserving of it, since she had been through so much, before she had joined them and even more since she had.
"It's amazing isn't it?" asked Seth seeing her nod to his question, the open plan living room and kitchen, an entire wall of glass that went onto a balcony and looked over the city, the office space, and the huge hall way that lead to the bedrooms, each had a glass door that went opaque when it was closed. It appeared more like a hotel room rather than a penthouse. "Your room is the second door on the left. Has it's own bathroom. Like at the mansion my room is across of the hall" added Seth informing her of her bedroom location and where his was just in case she needed him at any point. He smiled at her before, watching her walk towards the bedrooms. He quickly phoned Roman to ask him to drop some clothes off and what he was planning on doing.
"Hey Rome it's me" said Seth when Roman picked up. "I found Paige but she didn't want to go back to the mansion, we are at the penthouse at the moment. She told me how she was really feeling" quickly added Seth informing Roman he had found her and where they were. "She's said she feels lost, wants to find who she really is and doesn't want to be afraid any more, she doesn't want to hide" continued Seth, hearing what Roman had to say, he seemed relieved that Paige was at least in a safe place. "Can you bring some clothes over for her, I have an idea on how to help her so she doesn't feel so lost, but it involves leaving the country" added Seth again listening to the reply in which he received. "Take her back to England, so she can find out why her mother kept her a secret, so she can get answers to her questions. Maybe then she will be able to move on" replied Seth to the question he was asked. "Okay I will see you then, Summer is on her way here by the way alright bye" said Seth hanging up and going to check on Paige, he didn't want her to try anything again.
Back in what appeared to be an abounded warehouse, the Authority were all to aware of Paige being alive still. They were currently planning how they could draw her out so they could finally finish what they started. They knew they had to do it without Kane's help since he was currently being held in maximum security prison for what he had been caught for. They would deal with that later on, and try and figure a way to get him out without anyone suspecting that they had something to do with it. At this moment they were all sat around a giant table, Stephanie and Hunter at one side with Randy and Batista either side of them, they had a lot of things to deal with.
"Alright we know Paige is out there, but we don't know what her new name is, where she lives, or what she now does for a living. Following Roman and Dean hasn't helped much, since they leave an apartment building every morning, go to their office, then get some groceries if needed then go back home" said Hunter informing them that following two of their enemies was coming up blank and they were fully aware that their main target hadn't been dealt with. Stephanie had a way of getting what she wanted but it would include a long waiting time and also Ric Flair, she knew he would do anything to help, but it was the question of whether his daughter would, since she had friendship with the Shield current receptionist. Hunter and Stephanie looked to each one of them making up plans that each could do in order to draw Paige out and finally finish what they had started, although they had to admit she was smart to go into hiding.
"Ric, we will need Charlotte to get close with Becky, since Becky in the current receptionist at Shield Security, maybe she can get information on what happened with Paige and on other things they have planned. We know they have a partnership with several people but don't know who, maybe she can find out for us. Heath, your going to be playing an important bit in this. You are going to be the one to turn the Shield boys against each other, you said Paige can't have children unless by IVF or Surrogate mother. So inseminate her using Seth or Roman, to break them apart. Make it appear like Dr Galloway is responsible for the mishap. Batista, Randy you two are going to be watching her family, leave Michelle out of this, but target Mark, Viktor and Konnor, taunt them, whatever you have to do to make them feel like they are being targeted but don't do any physical damage" said Stephanie setting some of them up on tasks, they needed all the information they could get, and also needed to find away to tear them apart, they knew Paige was the key to that.
"We need to find out who The Celtic Warrior is, as well as find the identity of who gave her a new identity, and we need to find the location of AJ Lee, the woman who signed the death certificates. Charlotte will hopefully find out who The Celtic Warrior is. We also need to find out who The Wyatt family is, they are connected to the Shield but we are unsure how, or if they are friend or foe. All we know is that they are there whenever they are needed and have something to do with the illegal business. To top it all off we need to find a way of tracking their cars, and find the locations of all their properties, we know they own a mansion somewhere in Tampa, and we know they have their own private island somewhere near Cuba, but we are not certain where exactly it is. These guys are stupid. We know it is going to be one hell of a war, when we collide with them, the results are uncertain but we are determined to be the ones who come out on top" added Hunter, he knew what they had to do and were surprised when he found information on this Wyatt Family.
"Corey, Fandango, Curtis. You three are in charge of finding as much information on their properties as possible, we need a list of addresses phone numbers and if possible locations. Well your at it find employee information, we know about Becky Lynch working with them, and we know this Wyatt Family is also helping them along with The Celtic Warrior, but we need the rest, maybe we will be able to get to their employees, get information out of them. We need to find more information one Emma Dashwood and Summer Rae as well. Tyson, Jack you two have the fun of finding a way to track their cars, I don't car what you have to do, just get it done. And Bo I believe you said you knew something that might help us" said Stephanie giving some of the others tasks to do, they were a big corporation, until now they hadn't really bothered with Paige, they were concentration on getting Kane out of prison, and their other targets, but Paige was that niggle in the back of their minds, she could bring down everything they had built if they didn't find and eliminate her as soon as possible. Bo nodded to what Stephanie had said, wondering how the news was going down.
"I know The Wyatt Family, my older brother is the leader. There is three of them but occasional their numbers go up to four. They believe that The Shield are doing the right thing by keeping Paige safe and offered their services to make sure she is kept out of harms way. No one sees them but they are there. Normally they are the ones who eliminate the ones who are close to finding one the girls, they hide in plan sight yet remain unseen. You only really see them when you are one they believe to be a danger to Paige or one of the other two girls" replied Bo, revealing he was aware of how many numbers there were and also how they worked, which official put him as one of The Authorities most valuable members, as he had information they wanted and needed, whether he could help stop them was another thing altogether. "Bray is the leader, Erick and Luke are two of the other three, as for the fourth one I don't know him, I just know he is there when they need him and one not to underestimate" added Bo, revealing the identity of his brother and two of the three others, while so revealing even he didn't have a clue on who the fourth one was. He looked at Stephanie and Hunter who were nodding at him before a slight grin crossed Hunter's lips.
"Everyone is free to go, get on with their tasks, I will call another meeting in a couple of days to get update reports on how everything is going. Me and Steph will start making a plan on what's going to happen once everything is done" said Hunter releasing everyone so they could get on with what they were set to do. He hoped above anything that this would work, and was thankful at least that Stephanie had the brains to attempt to tear the three enemy boys apart, and that they had Bo with them considering the valuable information he had given them on their unknown and rather mysterious Wyatt's. Hunter turned to Stephanie pulling her into his lap, he maybe a big bad man to most and wanted by the local police but that didn't mean he was heartless, he love Stephanie and their three daughter more than anything and would do anything he could to protect them.
Once Ric had left the building he met his daughter Charlotte in the car they had arrived him, he had been training her to take his place when he could no longer be able to help The Authority as much as he wanted to. He knew she would be more helpful than any of his other children, as she was the least suspecting one of them, after all who would except his sweet and innocent Charlotte to be involved in something like this. If it all went how he planned, if the Authority did go down then she would get off scotch free and have millions under her name, she would have the life he had planned for her all this time, but in order for her to have that life she would have to do what The Authority asked of her.
"Stephanie and Hunter have a task for you" said Ric as soon as he joined his daughter in the car. She looked around at him not sure if she wanted to be part of this. After all her little brother was killed when he was helping them. He had been caught by a member of the illusive Wyatt Family, and turned up several days later, they made it look like an over dose, almost like they had been watching him and knew what his habbits were. If that was the case then they were more dangerous than anyone could think and they should be the top priority, that also meant that none of them were safe herself included. "This is what you have to do if you want the life I have planned for you" merely added Ric like it was something he said ever day.
"What is it they want me to do?" asked Charlotte, she knew she would eventually give in as it would niggle at her until she asked. She also knew that she was at some importance to them or they wouldn't have asked her to be the one to do whatever it was they were wanting of her. She knew it was something big by the way her father looked at her. For some reason she was also dreading it, like she knew something bad was going to come of it. It didn't help she had the feeling that someone was watching her from a far, although when she looked outside of the car she never seen anyone, she hated the feeling and hated it even more when there was a down pour of rain like now.
"They want you to get close to Becky, see if you can get any information from her regarding The Celtic Warrior, as well as information on who Paige now is and the whereabouts of AJ Lee. They think by finding the woman who signed the death certificate then they can prevent it happening again. They also want to find the man who created Paige's new identity, and find this Celtic Warrior, since he is their contact who gives them information they are in need of. They think he works in the police station but aren't too sure. Main priority is finding Paige" replied Ric informing Charlotte what she was tasked with, she was at least thankful it was only finding information, not actually going undercover. She smiled slightly and nodded to the request, hoping she wouldn't get caught, or that Becky wouldn't find out what she was really up to. She didn't know how she was going to explain it if she did get caught.
Back with Stephanie and Hunter, they knew the task of finding Paige or drawing her out was going to be easy, like they knew tearing apart The Shield was going to be easy either. They knew that they had a strong bound, one they were so far unsuccessful at breaking, they both knew that it was going to result in a war, that would reveal both illegal business to Detective Calloway, who already suspected they had one but was so far oblivious to Shield's one. They also knew that only one of the two would be left standing when the dust settles. It would either be Authority/Evolution or Shield left standing. Oddly they suspected that Paige would have something to do with the end of whichever one was to go down. Things had been going wrong for them since she had witness what they did that day, now here they were, caught not knowing who these four Wyatt's were, where Paige was, trying to find the identity of The Celtic Warrior, as well as trying to find AJ and the man who had given Paige her identity.
"You know this could mean the end of us right. We will either go down with the rest The Authority or we take our girls and we leave, never look back and just get away from the business for good" said Stephanie, she knew it would likely end in two options for both sides. Either go to prison for a very long time or go into hiding and never look back or even turn back to what they were once part of. Just disappear. She didn't want her girls growing up and not having her parents around to look after them or get to them. She didn't want her girls growing up to have the same future she had, where she would inherit an illegal business, where crime murder, and god knows what else was an every day thing. She wanted them to be princess and never know of what they truly did. She wanted them to know their parents, instead of visiting them behind bard.
"I know, Shield will be faced with the same decision. Unless of course they have some good friends to bail them out of it. They will ever get out of it scotch free, get caught like we do and go down for it, or go into hiding taking their three girls with them, and never revealing who these Wyatt's are. All I know Paige is the one who will bring the head on collision. She's smart and stayed hidden, she will eventually make a mistake or we will find her. Either way there is a good chance she wont walk away from this either" said Hunter, he knew what Stephanie had planned when she asked Heath to inseminate Paige using either Roman or Seth, it would hopefully course a rift between them, although he was unaware of what was actually happening between them at this moment in time.
"It also means if Heath is successful, then we would have to wait at least nine months maybe longer, we have that rule where we don't go after pregnant women, or nursing mothers. So maybe over a year if he is successful. We will also have to make sure the others know, and have to be aware Shield would make plans for her and her child to disappear again. So we may never get rid of her" replied Stephanie knowing that's why Hunter made it clear not to target Michelle Calloway, as they were fully aware she was expecting, like they were aware that Emma was expecting, Becky had unknowingly giving them that information, how she didn't give information on who the father of the said child was.
Roman arrived at the penthouse, with two cases fully of clothes, shoes and toiletries for Paige and Seth to use, he had also agreed to the plan, telling them to go as soon as possible. And he had also informed Paige that her first appointment about IVF had come through, telling her that it would be after her trip and that they will send Finn to be with her brothers and father, while she is away and reunite the pair of them when she got back from England. She smiled at him. They had yet to tell Paige about her secret guardian angels who had watched over her this entire time. Who had been keeping each of the girls safe. Just to give the three boys less to worry about. Bray also knew something about Paige's heritage that no one else did, it was a secret that not even The Shield were aware of. He was fulfilling a promise he had made a long time ago.
It wasn't long before there was a bang on the door, Roman opened it wearily, seeing Bray, Erick and Luke he looked slightly confused but let them in none the less. They walked into the living area, seeing Summer there they smiled at her, she had know about them for a while, but also knew they had a secret other they watched over, unknown to her who it was, but they said this other was doing find, a little heartbroken but fine. Seth went and got Paige, knowing it was time she met them, and got to know they ones who had been watching her since she joined them. He returned a few minutes later with her walking just behind them, Bray smiled at her, taking his hat off to her, where as the other two waved slightly.
"Ah the lady Paige, it's good to see you again. The last time we met were children, we used to play together as children. My father used to hide your mother, Finn and you every six months to prevent her being found, there were many times you stayed with us while your mother took Finn with her" said Bray revealing he knew Paige from childhood, by the recognition in Paige's eyes she knew who he was, actually appearing happy to see him, at least she knew someone from her childhood was still there and wanted to help. Seth, Roman and Summer seemed completely confused at what was just revealed, they hadn't expected to hear what they just had.
"Wait a minute, you have know Paige since she was a child with her mother" said Roman, just wanting that confirmed, it was only know he was adding everything up. "Paige is the other one you were watching over from before, all this time you have been making sure she was kept out of most danger and never found by those her mother was running from. Why didn't you say anything when she joined us?" asked Roman finally putting it altogether, he had admit, he probably should have seen it coming considering Bray had actually given him a description of the other one he watched over, yet it hadn't clicked when he saw Paige. If he was honest he felt like an idiot.
"Saraya's past caught up to her once, Finn's father was the one after her. She asked my father for help when she was pregnant with Paige, asking him to help keep her little Angel a secret, so that the gang wouldn't find out about her. I never told you because you didn't need to know. And I recommended you to Mr Calloway for protecting Paige. He didn't know it was me but had a message telling him about you. So if Paige wishes to go back to England, then I will make sure she has the protection she needs and finds everything she is looking for. I promised my father she will be safe, if I ever found her again. A promise I will keep to the end" replied Bray, revealing who it was that Paige's mother was running from and why she was kept a secret the entire time, which only asked the question did Finn know?
