Disclaimer: Vince McMahon is the lucky owner of the WWE, not me. I don't own them or anyone else you may recognize. I only own my OC's, Emma Marie Souza and her family.
I woke up the next morning to the sound of the shower running. I stretched and thought about last night. I didn't want to mention this to Roman, he would probably think I was paranoid, but I didn't think that what happened to him was random. I was snapped out of thoughts by the sound of knocking at the door. I got out of the bed and opened the door, only to find a young man in a hotel uniform. "Emma Souza?" The man asked, i nodded "yes, is there something i can help you with?" He shook his head "no ma'am, i am just here to hand you this. It was dropped off at the front desk and i was told to hand it to you immedietly". I looked at what he was handing me, a note with my name on it. "Did the person give a name?" I asked, "no, he said you would know who it was from". Confused, I thanked him and shut the door before unfolding the paper. I could feel the color drain from my face as I read the note:
Last night was only the beginning.
I won't be so keen to leave him, or anyone else, breathing next time.
You could end it all now and just come back to me.
You know where to find me.
Tell the cops and someone dies.
I'll be waiting.
"Roman!" I screamed, the room had begun to spin around me and I felt sick to my stomach. He rushed out of the bathroom in seconds, "what's the matter?" he spoke, alarmed. I looked up at him and felt my legs give out on me, "Emma!" he shouted, his arms shot out, catching me before I hit the ground. He sat me on the bed and knelt in front of me, "talk to me Em, what is it?". I held out a shaky hand, the note still clenched in it, he took it, confused, and read it. "Where did you get this?" "A hotel employee just handed it to me. He didn't say it was from all he said was I would know who it was from". He hurriedly got up and grabbed his phone, "who are you calling?" I questioned, "Seth and Dean, they have to know about this".
Five minutes later came the sound of hurried knocking and in rushed the other two Shield members still in their pajamas. No body knew what to do aside from calling the police and calling Vince. "We're going to headquarters, everybody get ready cause we're leaving in 10 minutes. If you're not done then you can find another ride to the show tonight" Roman spoke, hanging up his phone, we all turned to look at him with raised eyebrows, he looked panicked. "Well?! Get a damn move on you two" he said, glaring at the other two men. Dean was about to argue but Seth pulled him out of the room quickly. Roman began to hurry around the room, I was still watching him with raised eyebrows. "Babe..." I spoke, he didn't say a word, just kept on hurrying about the room packing what was his.
I stood up off the bed and walked in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. I placed my hands on either side of his face and looked in his eyes. They where sad, worried. "Talk to me" I spoke, he placed his forehead against mine "I thought all this was over after they got fired, that you where safe. You read the note, they want blood. Specifically yours, but I don't think they would mind taking ours in the process. I have no idea how to protect you. The only thing we can do is talk to Vince" he whispered, "I'm sorry, all this is my fault. I dragged you all in to this mess" he whipped away a few tears that has escaped my eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist. "None of this is or ever will be your fault. I don't think it and neither does anyone else. This is all Jack and Dolphs fault. They think it is ok to do this. Everything they are doing its because they are just sick. Now get ready baby girl, we have to leave" he gave me a kiss and let me go.
I got ready in a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of boots, I put my hair up in a ponytail and grabbed my peacoat jacket. Roman had taken the liberty of packing my stuff for me and after a quick double check of the room, we left. Dean and Seth where waiting in the hall, and we checked out fast before tossing our bags in the trunk and driving off. We got there in 2 hours. Once Roman parked we hurried inside only to be stopped by security. We showed them our WWE identification cards and they let us up to Vinces office. He was already expecting us. "I don't know what else to do. This is completely out of my power and the only option is to call the police, even if it doesn't seem like a good idea, it's the only idea" Vince said after reading the note. I shifted in my seat and it didn't go unnoticed by the four men who all turned to look at me. "You've got something on your mind, lets hear it" Dean spoke, "I know where he is. I didn't figure it out until now..."
*flashback*
"Where are you taking me?" I questioned as Jack drove. We hadn't been dating for long...about a month. He smiled at me "it's a surprise, we'll be there soon". We where in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a house show. He pulled up to a cute white countryfied home that was settled on a good sized piece of land. The front of the house had a porch, a wooden bench placed on it. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on the cheek. "This was the home I grew up in. I own it now. Hopefully one day this home won't just belong to me, but to you and our little family when we have one". I smiled up at him, "this home is beautiful" "yea, it is. You know, I want this place to be somewhere you can come to. If you ever want to find me, this is where I'll always be waiting".
*end flashback*
"If he's all the way in Oklahoma then how did we get this so fast? We only got to New Hampshire on Tuesday. This wouldn't get here for another few days if it was sent from there" Seth spoke, "overnight shipping, of course" I answered. "Well, at least we know where he could be" Roman said, rubbing his forehead, "the only way to protect everyone is to give him what he wants...me" I whispered "you are not going to find him" Roman sighed "you all seen the note, he wants blood, and he won't stop unless he gets me. If I want to protect you, then I have to". Roman shook his head furiously "no, we will call the cops, and they will get them both. Nobody is going to get hurt" "you don't know that" "ok, stop, I have connections that will be able to do this all undercover. I'll give them a call and we will meet you all at the show tonight" Vince spoke.
We all agreed, undercover would be a lot better then uniforms showing up at the door. We left shorty after, our show was in AJs hometown of Union City, New Jersey. I had a match against Nikki tonight and the guys where going against Cody, Goldust, and Daniel. After another hour of driving we got to the arena and went to our locker room to put on our gear. I put on my black shorts and my pink Divas shirt along with my black sneakers. When I finished changing I did my make-up and straightened my hair quickly. Vince had called 15 minutes ago and said to meet him in his office in a half hour. When we got there Vince was accompanied by two men who looked like they could rival half the locker room in pure strength. We where introduced to the two men, Agent DeAndrade and Agent Holmes, and began to discuss what would happen.
I told them everything I knew about where Jack had taken me, I remembered where it was clearly because we would go there on "mini getaways" when the mood struck him. In the end we had come up with a plan and the three men of the Shield where none to happy, especially Roman. It wasn't finalized but the Agents where planning on having me show up to the house, alone, and the Agents and their men would be hidden in the woods that surrounded the property. I would be hooked up to a chip that would be hidden in my earrings that would allow them to hear and see everything. Once they would get a confession they would swarm the house and arrest Jack, or as soon as I would be in danger. The two Agents where going to plan it out better and go over it with their team and we would do it on Saturday.
We thanked them and left to go back to our locker room. The three of them wrapped their arms around me when the door closed behind us. "Em, are you sure you are ok with going through with this plan of theirs?" Seth asked, "I don't have a choice, it is the only way to protect you all. If I don't do this god knows what could happen. I know this is dangerous but I will do anything to make sure you all stay safe". I looked at Roman, his eyes looked sad, "I don't like that you have to go through with this but I know you, if anyone is going to be spilling blood it's going to be you spilling his" I gave him a small smile "damn right".
We won our matches that night and headed to our hotel. "I'm going to be there on Saturday" Roman spoke when we laid in bed "just promise me that if something happens, you and the guys stay where it is safe. No matter what" he was about to protest but one look into my eyes and he agreed, "it'll be tough but I promise". He placed a kiss on my lips "I love you so much baby girl" "I love you to, more then you know".
A/N: Oh boy, Emma's going for blood. Big thanks to those who left reviews on the last chapter. What did everyone think of this one? Guesses on what could happen in future chapters?
