"Orton!" Both men stopped looking at Vince.
"Yes Vince?"
"Get to your locker room & leave the locals alone."
"Vince I have a few things to tend to."
"Now Randy." Randy's eyes narrowed to slits looking at Vince.
"But it's abo…"
"I don't care handle it on your own time. You are here so it is now my time & you have the match to work with Rey."
Shadow touched Randy's arm who turned his head to look. "Go before he threatensss to fine you. Hang around after the place clearssss, She will make sure you get back ok." With that Shadow walks away from Randy heading down the hall almost ignoring Vince. Randy walks closer to him.
"Vince we have almost two hours before bell what the big deal."
"You are NOT to challenge Shadow like Rey did last night. You got me?"
"And why not."
"It was already determined the Mike will go against the other member of Muta's party." Vince walked away to his office without another word. Randy still steaming wondering what the big deal was with this guy. First Jade is working for him & now Vince has called the guy off limits. Fine be damned he wanted to know.

The show went as planned Suwama was trying not to look as though he was already anticipating what would happen when Vince came out to thank the crowds again. Part way through Miz steps on the stage. "Mr. McMahon I don't know why you playing up to these people. Even their own wrestlers are nothing compared to us. That was shown last night & I'll show it again tonight. If they accept." He heads for the ring & Suwama stands. "No…both of you & I have a little help with me as well." Shadow turned his head looking at Mutoh waiting for his approval or not.

#It's your call…you know though…#
#It will look bad if I don't, fine# Mutoh give a nod & Shadow stands.
#Boys they try to pull fast change…Shinobi tactics if needed.#
#Yes master# They both reply. Only after they both accepted & crossed the barricade did Orton's music hit. Shadow shook his head walking to Suwama a hand on his shoulder leaning. #Try to keep me out from Orton.# Suwama wondered why but just nodded. Climbing into the ring with Shadow after him. The match started with Suwama against Orton. The tags went back & forth and a good match till almost 8 minutes in when Shadow was facing against Miz. Shadow got dazed with a hit & before he could process it Miz got him into the skull-crushing finally. Hitting the mat hard Shadow could hear a crunch on the canvas the dumb ass didn't loosen his grip on his head. Pain shot through Shadows facial nerves as Miz turned him to try for a pin. Luckily Suwama came in braking it. The ref forcing Suwama back Shadow fought to move as well taking him in. Shadow rolled to the outside sitting on the apron motioning something to one of the ringside attendants. He watched the action before dropping down to face the ring to allow him to raise the mask without exposure some tissue was handed to him holding it to the nose wincing with a growl before tossing it in a bowl jumping back on the apron once the mask was back in place.

#Finish him, Finish him# Shadow kept yelling over & over again. Miz at one point was whipped into Shadow's corner & he actually tried to take a cheap shot, Shadow blocked him delivering one back. A few times Miz tried to get to Orton but it just was not happening. Suwama finally finished Miz for the win. Shadow slipped into celebrate leaning over. #Lets go, I need trainer & don't trust Miz.# Suwama nodded & they left the ring. Mutoh at first wondered why they would leave first being the winners. They headed for the back & got one of their trainers to follow them down to Shadow's locker room.
#What's wrong saw you flag an assistant.#
#Think nose broken.# Suwama went to stand outside to make sure they were not bothered. Shadow carefully removed his mask allowing trainer to check it over.
#Hard to say if it bruised or broken unless you go to hospital.# He handed a small towel to Shadow to use to try to control any bleeding.
#OK Let me get changed to street gear. It can wait for place to clear right?#
#Yes should be fine.# There was a knock & Mutoh opened the door.
#Everything ok?#
#Not sure sir# Commented the trainer. #Shadow is worried his nose got broken. I will drive him to the hospital personally once most of the fans & visitors are gone to guard his image.#

#Thanks you dismissed for now.# The trainer bowed leaving. Mutoh then went sitting on the bench by Shadow. #OK Why you try to avoid Orton?#
#That obvious sir?#
#Yes#
#Jade's…boyfriend, he does not know yet though of her connection to me.#
#I see. Are you planning on telling him?#
#I was going to after show before this happened.#
#Still can…Where is he?#
#Somewhere back stage or at ring.# Mutoh nods standing.
#Ten minutes enough time to get changed to Jasper?#
#Will be interesting…but yes.# Mutoh nods again heading out the door. He informs that no one is to enter Shadow's room except himself or the trainer. Shadow wishes to see someone.
#Of course Master Mutoh.#

Mutoh found Randy in the middle of being yelled at by Vince.
"What is the big deal about the guy! He isn't even one of ours & you acting like he is some fucking miracle wrestler. You want to fine me…then fine me…you want to fucking even suspend me over it fine. I don't see the big deal over it Vince!"
"The deal is you disregarding an order Randy. Shadow already wrestled last night, he wasn't set to go again tonight. I should be on both you & Mikes asses for this & I still might."

Mutoh issued a cough loud enough to get Vince's focus. "Is everything ok Muta?"
"Mater of opinion Vince. I wish to speak to Mr. Orton alone."
Randy turned trying not to glare at Mutoh. "Why just me? As Vince just said Miz is as big a part of this as I was."
"I have my reasoning Mr. Orton. You had a meeting rescheduled for after the show yes?"
"Um…yes."
"Well even as the head of my company I was kindly asked to get you." Mutoh then looked at Vince. "Relax McMahon I am not going to try to negotiate him from you." Mutoh turns walking away then looks back at Orton who looks at Vince.

"Go…I will still debate what to do about you later." Randy nods following after Mutoh. Heading down the hall that until now was off limits to the WWE guys Randy looks seeing the one called Suwama posted outside one of the doors.
#Suwama go get changed.# He bows walking away to the next room. Mutoh knocks waiting for an answer. #I have him safe to come in?#
#Yes just him if you don't mind# She was still using the Shadows voice. Mutoh opened the door motioning to Randy.
"Please go on in." Randy looked puzzled but did as instructed. He walked in to see a guy laying back on the bench in the room dressed in jeans & a red muscle shirt his knees were propped on the bench.
"Um hello?"
"Hello Randy." The Shadow's voice gone replaced by Jasper's though faintly distorted not that Randy would know that never hearing it before. He lifted the towel enough to uncover his mouth.
"So you Shadow…that why you covering your face?"
"For now…that plus the jerk you had for a partner needs to learn how to do his own move."
"Excuse me…if you have problem with Mike take it with him."
"Oh I hope to at a later time. You were brought back here for your meeting."
"Yeah with Jade, where is she…what exactly is going on between you two?"
"Is that why you wanted to challenge me? You thought I was putting moves on your girl?"
"Well are you?" Jasper laughed then winced placing his fingers lightly pinching his nose again. "I don't see what is so damn funny messing with someone girl."
"The funny things is a few things…one she only been your girl since what 2 days ago if even…so if anything I would have been first. Before you feel your bubble burst relax. The second thing is a little harder to explain." She took a deep breath coughing. Sitting up slowly keeping the towel over the top of the head & lightly pinched under the nose. "I am sorry a secret was kept from you. There is no he…" Her voice drops to normal except the distortion of the nose injury. "Only me."
"Hold on what!" He shakes his head stepping closer looking at the shape of the arms & hands. "Ja….Jade?"

She places a finger to her lips as to shush him. She then lowers the towel from the top of her head keeping the nose covered but he could still see the bruising around it. He tried to study the face, she had the hound blue contacts in instead of her normal brown eyes, her hair was styled in a more masculine style, shading gave her slightly more angled features & lastly the soul patch of hair under the lip. "What the hell!" He takes a step back trying to take it in. "What the hell."
"Randy try to calm down. Only a few know." She fought to keep her voice down.
"Calm down, how the hell you want me to calm down."
"Randy it is still me…still Jade. It is a disguise."
"How long?"
"Well this version…since March before I came here…but before that I did it as well behind Shadow's mask. When Shadow was in WWE before. You were too busy with Evolution at the time I am sure to really remember him…well me. Bautista did mention me to you once back then."
"If you remember refresh my memory."
"He was talking to Shadow in the trainers room the night be screwed up his shoulder. After Shadow left he joked about sort of dating Shadow's sister. The thing is he didn't know they were the same."
"Shit…and he was married at the time."
"Yeah, a lovely fact I didn't know till I called him at home & his wife answered his cell phone. That is the past though."

She sighed standing up. "I know you have a flight early so I will let you go get changed while I need to get to hospital & get this checked."
"OK Jadie…Damn I was hoping for a good bye kiss…but a busted nose, plus sorry kissing you like that would be weird."
Jade gave a weak laugh. "I understand. See you soon Randy." She gave him a hug before he walked out. Randy made a note to have a little talk with Miz about his finisher.
