Backstage, Kendall came into the locker room and sat beside her dad.

"Where's Braedyn?" she asked looking around.

"She's playing with Stacy's daughter, Carrie, at the hotel. Since Braedyn and Carrie met, they've been inseperable. Stacy was gonna take them swimming, so she picked her up after she was done with the match." John said.

"Oh. So, um, have you seen Maria? Is she doing okay?" she asked nervously. John smiled, nodding.

"She's with Stephanie and Linda. They actually are discussing business. I guess, some of the superstars with kids have been complaining they don't see thier kids often enough. Because there's no tutoring or school program on any of the tours, most of the kids don't get to go. Maria suggested having a couple teachers come on tour, kind of like a home-school program for the masses. When Steph heard about it, she thought it would be a great idea, so her and Linda are trying to hash out all the details with Maria." he said.

Kendall smiled. "That'd be cool. I don't get to see any of the kids much because I'm one of the few that gets to go on the show. I hope they decide to do it." Kendall said.

"Yeah me too. Your almost done with school, but Braedyn just started. It'd be nice to have someone qualified around to help out with lessons and such. So...you ready? You look nervous."

Kendall gave a small smile. "I just want everything to go smoothly. I don't want Maria to get hurt."

John looked at her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Everything's been planned and set up. She won't get hurt. I promise, okay?" he said.

Kendall nodded. "Yeah."

"Good...then go get ready. The show's about to start."

John left the locker room to join the others backstage, leaving Kendall alone. In a few minutes, the cameras would be here for a segment with Hunter and Stephanie McMahon. It was a tiny segment they needed to build the DX/McMahon saga. Right on time, the camera crew knocked announcing it was show time. Kendall took a deep breath, and headed out her door.

Kendall could hear the crowd going nuts when her face came on the arena screen. She bit back a smile and kept her game face on. Kendall turned the corner and saw HBK Shawn Michael's approaching Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Triple H and Stephanie were making out in the hallway. Kendall quickly hid behind a stack of chairs as Shawn cleared his throat and interupted them.

"Oh, hey Shawn." Hunter said with a smile. Stephanie blushed slightly and nodded hello to the DX member.

"Hey, Steph...Hunter." Shawn looked at them in confusion. When Shawn had gotten injured a couple months back, Hunter and Steph had just split apart. He hadn't realized they were back together.

"So..um..Hunter, we need to talk about our match..." Shawn began. Hunter nodded and turned to Steph, giving her a kiss on the cheek,

"Steph, could you excuse us? We have some DX things we need to talk about...its boring stuff." Hunter asked with a smile.

Steph smiled back and nodded. "Sure, Hunter. I gotta go anyway. See you later."

After Stephanie left, Shawn looked at his long time friend. "What are you doing, Hunter? I thought you hated her."

Hunter smiled. "I do. She just has something I want."

Kendall stayed where she was and upon hearing Hunter's words, she flipped out her cell phone and started secretly recording Hunter and Shawn's conversation.

"What does she have that you don't?" Shawn asked.

"Part ownership of the WWE." Hunter replied, smirking. "Steph's so gullible. Always has been. She thinks I still love her, but I'm just pretending so I can get my hands on her share of the company. Once I've got Steph's, I"ll get Shanes. Then linda's and finally, I'll go after Vince. Once I have control of the shares, DX will have control over the shows."

Shawn nodded grinning. "Master plan, Hunter. Make the girl fall in love with you so much, she's willing to do anything for you, then suck her dry. I love it. Absolutely love it."

Hunter chuckled. "Yeah...I am brilliant, aren't I?"

"Genius. Come on, our match is next. Did you see the beginning of the show? Rock, The Crew taking on ECW..."

Kendall waited until the voices faded before crawling out from behind her hiding spot. She quickly sent a copy of what she had taped to her email and then clicked her phone shut, with a smile on her lips. Hunter wanted the WWE huh? There was no way in hell, Kendall was gonna let that happen.
