Chapter 26
xXx
I really love this chapter and It's the longest one I've ever done. I really wanted to capture Stephanie McMahon in this way.
xXx
Kaitlyn immediately moved away from Seth, covering her mouth with her hands in shock. Seth shook his head furiously.
"I wasn't even in the mens locker room! I just dumped my bag and left!" His voice was raised and Triple H was trying his best to calm him down. Steph had gone from authority figure to mother in a few seconds, giving Kaitlyn a hug and making sure she was okay.
"Look Seth, Vince has personally looked thought security tapes and we've concluded that you weren't in the lockers long enough to open your bag. It's starting to look like someone is setting you up."
"No shit." Seth muttered.
"Until we get the results back, you will be on caution. You do realize that if we find anything in your system that isn't prescribed, you will be fired." Seth looked a little puzzle.
"So Randy gets caught smoking weed but if I do it I get fired on the spot? Not that I am, I'm just a little curious." Triple H chuckled slightly and Kaitlyn glared at him.
"You really don't know anything do you?" Seth shook his head at his slightly sarcastic question.
"We didn't find weed in your bag Seth, If we had you would have been told to leave and not come back for a few days. It's the fact that we found nearly four grands worth of cocaine in your bag - That's what would get you fired." Seth's face twisted in disgust and he looked as if he were about to cry. Kaitlyn turned to Steph and explained.
"Seth had no family apart from his sister and his mother. He lost his mum to a cocaine overdose a few years ago." Steph nodded sympathetically.
"I'll take Seth for a test if you take Kaitlyn to Vince." Paul walked away with Seth while Steph put an arm around Kaitlyn's shoulders and led her away.
"You really don't know anything about this do you?" She asked, stopping Kaitlyn so she could look up at her. Kaitlyn shook her head, her mascara running down to her chin.
"I love him so much Steph and I genuinely don't think he would do anything like this, But what if he has?" Steph smiled and pulled Kaitlyn aside, both of them hopping onto a production cart.
"Ya know, Just before we had out first baby, There was this massive conspiracy about drugs being used in the WWE and because Paul was so jacked, he was picked out as a user. There was so much evidence pointing towards him and it really didn't look good. We had a mole in the company that even planted steroids in his locker, of course we only found that out when he was caught after everything happened. It really put a strain on our relationship and at one point I considered finishing with him. I realized I loved him too much to let him go, no matter what was going to happen so I vowed to be there for him and help him even against my fathers wishes. Things turned out well as he was cleared of any accusations and a few months later we had out first kid." Kaitlyn smiled.
"So your saying I should stand by him no matter what... and then have a baby with him." Steph chuckled and it brought a smile to Kaitlyn's lips.
"Yes, he needs support and I honestly don't think he did anything. But don't go having a kid, I need my top Diva for a bit longer." Kaitlyn smiled and they both jumped down if the cart. It surprised Kaitlyn how much Steph cared. Unlike the other authority figures int he company, Steph was friends with everyone as long as they weren't nasty to her or caused any trouble. Steph had once been a wrestler so she knew about emotions the girls, or 'her girls' as she put it, went through. When the Diva's felt emotional, Steph was there with tissues and chocolate. When they had a fallout with their partner, she would be there to offer advice.
"You want to know something?" Steph asked, her arm still on Kaitlyn's shoulder. She looked up at her boss and smiled.
"Yeah, go on then."
"At every WWE event from now on, I'm giving The Shield their own private locker rooms, and I want you girls to use them too." Kaitlyn smiled at the kind gesture. The Shield often used any spare room they could as they liked being in their own group and the girlfriends of them normally accompanied them.
Kaitlyn was about to say something when Stephanie opened a door, ushering the young diva inside. She looked up to see the apologetic eyes of Vince McMahon.
"Have a seat dear." He stood up and took his suit jacket off, sitting on the table at the same side of Kaitlyn. Steph dragged a seat beside her for moral support.
"Ok, I'm going to ask you some questions and then you are going to have a blood test." She nodded.
"So, you know we found drugs in Seth's bag, do you know anything about them?"
"No."
"Has he been acting differently? Going around in secret or acting very suspicious?" Kaitlyn shook her head.
"What about aches and pains? Has he been complaining or being tired or anything?" She shook her head again.
"Paul told me about something about drug abuse in the family, We don't want to bring it up with Seth since this time is a little tense as it it, could you tell us about it?"
"Um, Seth's like me, no family apart from a parent and sibling except he had a mother and a sister where as I have a brother and a father. His mother had problems throughout her entire life and she overdosed on cocaine a few years back and it killed her, that's why I don't think Seth would do anything like that." She concluded, feeling as if she had betrayed Seth a little by revealing a part of his life. Saying that, It wasn't something he hid from anyone who asked about his family.
"Ah, I see your point. How many people know about this and might use it against him?" Kaitlyn thought about everyone who knew. Some of the people in NXT knew as someone had asked him about his mum when they were out partying one night. But who from NXT would use it against him.
"Um, Dean and Roman know, So do their girlfriends. Uh... God... I don't know." Steph exchanged glances.
"Does Darren know?" Kaitlyn didn't even bat an eyelid.
"Yeah, he knows but he hasn't been in the arena recently, has he?" Vince considered it.
"Yeah but the locker room was empty at one point so someone could have snuck in then... Is there anyone that has a thing against him or that would even work for Darren?" Kaitlyn began to shook her head when it dawned on her.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL HER!" Kaitlyn screamed, standing up. Vince was a little taken aback by the usual calm womans outburst.
"Who?"
"Can I see the security tapes from tonight?" Vince and Steph looked at each other.
"Look, I can tell you once I find out because I don't want to accuse her if it's not."
"Her?" Steph questioned as Kaitlyn sat in front of the computer Vince had just switched on. It took a few moments before Steph put everything in place.
"I'll kill her." She muttered, only catching Kaitlyn's attention. Kaitlyn turned back to the screen, feeling Steph kneel down beside her.
"I'll step outside and see how Seth's getting on, okay girls?" They both nodded as they watched people come in and out of the mens room. Steph reached out and paused it.
"Write down which wrestler goes in, the time they go in and when they come out." Kaitlyn nodded and whipped a pen and paper out of the drawer. They both started to write things down as the people came in and out of the locker room. They both stopped as a hooded figure cowered in the shadows. Both women watched as the figure, fully clothed in black waited until there was no-one in the lockers before they ducked in. Steph stared open mouthed as everything on the screen remained still. The person was still in the locker room. The door finally opened and the figure stepped out, looking around to see if anyone was coming. Surely this was the person who set Seth up.
"We're screwed, we don't know who it was!" Kaitlyn threw the pen down and leaned back in the tall chair.
"Wait! Look!" Kaitlyn leapt forward as the person took out a phone, putting it to her ear - obviously making a phone call. As she took the phone away, few strands of platinum blonde hair fell out from behind the hood, after which a hand with very long manicured nails came out and tucked it away.
"I knew it!" Kaitlyn jumped up and the chair hit the wall a few feet away. Vince came back in.
"Well?!" Kaitlyn looked at her boss with pleading eyes.
"After I get this test can I go to the women's locker room?" Steph whispered in her fathers ear and her nodded as she talked.
He nodded and left the room again, this time a nurse walked in with a suitcase. Stephanie gripped her hand and went to walk out when Kaitlyn called after her.
"Steph? Can you please stay with me? I really hate needles." Steph smiled sympathetically and sat down beside her.
"I'm shit scared of needles... Do you know I broke two of Paul's fingers when I got an epidural when I had Aurora." Kaitlyn chuckled, oblivious to the nurse preparing the needle and preparing her arm.
"I bet you he loved after that..." Stephanie chuckled and Kaitlyn smiled at the thought of the couple.
"He put me in the situation of pushing out a kid so he had to take the consequences." Steph joked. Kaitlyn flinched as the needle pierced her skin. Steph gripped her hand.
"Youv'e not met my daughters have you?" Kaitlyn shook her head.
"I used to take them in and the rest of the Diva's would babysit them... But that was when Trish and Amy were here and they were amazing but since we employed Kelly and the rest of the models, I don't like taking them here... Bad influence and all." Kaitlyn felt her spirits dampen as she thought Steph was comparing her to the other bimbos that worked for her.
"But after watching you, I would love to take them back. I would love my girls to grow up around strong, confident, independent women." Kaitlyn nearly burst out into tears.
"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, Thank you." Kaitlyn gave a breath of relief as the nurse told her she was done.
"Of course Karlee will have to keep her swearing and sexual urges under control when they're around." That earned a hearty laugh from Kaitlyn.
"Well, I'm going to see a certain lady, Speak to you later." She gave Steph a hug which the mother gladly returned. Vince walked back in.
"Am I okay to go now?"
"Absolutely. And be back here in about an hour for your results, I don't want to make you wait until tommorow" He winked and she walked out.
"And remember, Never throw the first punch." He winked and Kaitlyn threw a wave over her shoulder.
xXx
So the confrontation next! Will Seth be in the clear? And who is the mysterious Diva? (Not that I've kept it a huge secret)
Review and I'll upload quicker.
Love you all, Amanda Xo
