Hunter and Lynn were walking out of his office when Shawn ran over to them.
"Opal was broken into. The castle destroyed", Shawn said, out of breath.
"What?", Hunter said shocked.
Shawn nodded. He looked at Lynn.
"I have to go, tell your family to make themselves at home", Hunter said as he followed Shawn down the hall.
Lynn nodded. She hoped everyone was okay. Opal would be lost without a queen if anything happened to Trish. As she was going to her room, Roman called her.
"Hey, miss me already?", she asked.
He chuckled softly.
"More than you know baby, but that's not why I'm calling. Its about JoJo and her mouth", he said.
"Roman Joseph Reigns, if you are about to tell me she kissed you", he started laughing.
"Nothing like that", he said.
"Okay, so then what?", she asked, closing the door to her room and sitting on her bed.
Leslie had offered to make a phone call to princesses Nikki and Brie, since they were with queen Stephanie at the time of her death.
"She was running her mouth to some of the women around Seth and you know how protective I get of him", Roman said.
Lynn sighed. Roman had been one of the first ones who found out Seth was gay. As other boys picked on him, Roman laid into a few to teach them never to pick on his friend. Dean joined the group later, defending Seth as well.
"I know, because I am just as protective of him.", Lynn said.
"She probably didn't mean to since she doesn't know about Seth and Liam, but we do and I don't want to see him hurt", Roman said.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it", Lynn said.
"I know you will, its why I told you", he said.
She was about to ask him about Opal.
"Lynn, hold on a second", he said.
She could hear mumbling on his end.
"Baby, I have to go, but I'll call you tonight", he said.
"Okay, bye, be careful", she said, before he hung up.
Setting her phone down, Leslie was hanging up with whoever she was speaking with.
"Okay, thank you so much. We'll be there in a few minutes", Leslie said.
Her sister walked over to her.
"We have a get together to get to with princess Nikki and Brie. Get dressed and lets go", Leslie said.
"Does that mean I have to put on a fancy dress?", Lynn asked, making a face.
Her sister laughed and nodded.
"Yes, now move your butt", Leslie said.
Jimmy and Jey had shown up at the castle as Leslie and Lynn were getting ready to leave.
"How did you guys know we were going somewhere?", Leslie asked, arms crossed over her chest.
"Roman sent us", Jimmy said.
"And why are you two dressed up like you are about to have tea or something?", Jey asked.
"Come on, we'll fill you in on the way", Lynn said.
"Hold on", they turned to see Shawn.
"I thought you went with Hunter?", Lynn asked.
"Billy and John did. I stay behind in case", Shawn said.
His eyes flashed to Leslie before going back to Lynn, noticing how they were dressed.
"We have tea time with Nikki and Brie. I need to speak to them", Lynn said.
Shawn sighed.
"Fine, I'm coming too", he said.
Lynn nodded.
They were in Limbo, everyone was screaming over each other. Accusations flying and threats being promised. Hunter rubbed his forehead.
"Okay, enough", Roman shouted as she stood.
Everyone got quiet.
"Thank you King Reigns. Now, we don't know who did this to Opal. Lets hear Trish out before we accuse anyone", Hunter said calmly.
"I'll give you two guesses, and they're not here now", Trish said.
Everyone looked at the two empty seats at the table.
"We know it was them. Opal lost some of the best female warriors they had. We want blood in return, the blood of their murders", Lita said.
"Everything was destroyed in the castle", Trish said.
"And no one saw anything?", AJ asked.
"Yes, but they were killed as whoever did this was leaving", Trish said.
"I'm sorry for your losses", Hunter started.
Lita stood, punching the table.
"We don't want your condolences, we want something done. You're suppose to be the head of this, make a damn plan. Remove Taker and Kane from their seats", Lita demanded.
Everyone around the table agreed. Hunter looked at Roman, he seemed the only one not to voice his opinion out loud and he liked that about him.
Roman nodded. Hunter looked at everyone.
"I would be an idiot if I said Taker and Kane had nothing to do with this, but they would be the only ones capable of this", Hunter said.
"Just like your wife. We know they did that too", Lita added.
Trish set a hand on her shoulder and pushed her down to sit.
"Enough", Trish whispered.
Lita took a deep breath before nodding.
"I will not tolerate anymore outburst from you", Hunter said.
Forrest growled from the door. Lita looked from the giant dog to Hunter.
"I apologize, I'm just on edge and angry", she said.
"I am too Lita, and you are forgiven", he said.
She nodded. Hunter held a hand out to Forrest and the dog sat.
"We can't just go in guns blazing. We all know that. We also can't just attack them.", AJ said.
"We need proof, not for ourselves but the people. They need to know that there is a reason to go into this war", Roman added.
Trish and Lita knew this already.
"Give me a few days, let me decide.", Hunter said.
Everyone nodded. He looked at Trish and Lita.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to call", he said to Trish.
They shook hands and nodded.
"Oh, and send word to your future queen. The copies of the traffic cameras were destroyed in the castle. I'm sorry", Trish said.
"She'll understand", Hunter said.
Roman and Hunter were the last ones to stay, as per usual.
"You know what we have to do", Roman said to him.
Hunter nodded, he pushed his hands into his pockets.
"I say we go to the beach before we declare war.", Dean said.
Roman chuckled, he should have seen that coming from him. Hunter raised a brow.
"We were all planning on going just to relax, but seeing as we might go to war. What do you say?", Roman said.
Hunter nodded.
"I'm guessing Lynn already knew about this", he said with a smirk.
"I'm sure she was going to tell you", Roman said.
"I know, but I got called away. We were talking before I was informed about Opal", he said.
Roman nodded.
Getting to Nikki and Brie's tea time in Limbo. Leslie and Lynn walked into the restaurant.
"There", Leslie said, pointing at the twins.
They walked over, Nikki and Brie stood, smiling. Leslie had let them know why they wanted to meet. Lynn opened her notebook.
"So, you don't think what happened to us was an accident?", Brie asked.
"I don't. The reports the cops took from you, they were fabricated", Lynn said.
Nikki and Brie looked confused.
"How do you know that? We told them everything, from the second we left to the moment we were run off the road", Nikki said.
Lynn pulled out the statements and handed them each theirs. Lynn knew they were right about the cops changing the story by the looks on the twins faces.
"We never said this", Brie said.
"Can you tell me what happened?", Lynn asked.
"We can try. I've tried pushing those memories away because they are too painful. Sometimes I wish I would have woken up before help got their. Maybe we could have helped Stephanie or the girls", Brie said, getting choked up.
Lynn reached over and squeezed her hand.
"You can help her now. Tell me what you do remember. If you saw anyone. Was there a car following you?", Lynn said.
"There was car, they were going to take Opal as well, but something stopped them. They drove off and that's it", Nikki said.
"No. We saw that car again when we went around. It was pulled over. Two men, one with a beard and another with long black hair. I didn't get a good look at their faces", Brie said.
"Its okay, I think I might know who you're talking about", Lynn said.
Brie nodded. They continued to tell the story, or at least what they could remember.
"Do you remember what kind of car it was?", Leslie asked.
"A Ford truck. Black and the windows were tinted", Nikki answered.
"They got off the truck. I remember, its fuzzy but they did. I remember trying to ask for help. I could have sworn I heard one of them apologize", Brie said.
Lynn nodded and wrote it down. She knew he probably apologized because he had no choice. He was working for Taker and Kane.
"Get these guys. They deserve to suffer for what they did.", Brie said.
"I will", Lynn replied.
After tea and getting to know the twins better, they started for the car. Shawn behind them.
"You told them you had an idea about who it can be. Do you really?", her sister asked.
Lynn nodded.
"They have a grudge against Hunter. It started with their fathers. They wanted to hurt him", Lynn said.
Leslie stopped her sister.
"And what if they come after you? If they find out he wants you for his next queen, they'll come after you", Leslie said.
"Don't worry, he hardly lets me leave without more than one guard.", Lynn said.
"It doesn't matter. Just promise you won't announce anything about being his queen till these guys are caught", Leslie said.
Lynn nodded and continued towards the car. Leslie stood in front of Shawn, stopping him. Their eyes met.
"Don't let anything happen to my sister", she said, poking him in his chest.
He caught her wrist and they both felt this weird shock. His thumb gliding over her knuckles.
"I promise", he said softly.
She nodded.
