"Whatever, you can fill her in later.", Charlotte shouted.
"So what do you want? We don't have all night.", Melina replied.
"First, where is my dad?", Charlotte asked.
"Around", Brie replied.
"I want to see him", she said.
"But we aren't done playing with him yet", Nikki pouted before laughing softly.
"Give me my dad and I will give you the guys who were hired to kidnap your sister", Charlotte said.
She had gotten a tip from Kenny Omega and after she put it together on why they would take her dad, it made perfect sense. Garcia was the root of it all.
What Kenny got out of this, she didn't know and didn't care.
"And how do you know who it is?", Veronica asked.
"I got a tip", Charlotte said.
"Alright, then spill", Melina said.
"Not until I get my dad back", Charlotte replied.
Melina rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Fine. He's on his way back to his house actually.", Melina said.
"What?", Charlotte asked, checking her phone for missed calls or messages from him.
"Don't bother, he doesn't have a phone on him. Sent him right on his way with a bright red bow on top", Brie smirked.
"Now, who did it?", Nikki asked.
"They are closer than you think", Charlotte replied.
"Oh my god, just let me punch her", Veronica said.
"Thinking about it", Melina replied.
"The Bloodline.", Charlotte said.
Veronica laughed and shook her head no.
"Roman? No, I don't believe it", she said.
"Well you should. Now my job is done, I'm going home to see my dad", Charlotte said, Ethan following close behind her.
Charlotte stopped and looked at Melina.
"How is Andrade?", she asked with a smirk.
"Ronnie, now you can punch her", Melina said.
Before Charlotte could block her face, Veronica landed one right on her nose. Hearing a crack as blood poured out of her nose.
"Bitch", Charlotte said.
"Get out", Garcia shouted.
Veronica slammed the door shut behind them. She looked at her sisters and dad.
"Do we believe her?", Brie asked.
"About The Bloodline, no, we shouldn't", Melina said.
"How many guys took you, Vero?", Nikki asked.
"Three came in, didn't have enough time to check for more. I was running for my life", she answered.
Brie and Nikki looked at Melina. Veronica could see the idea turning in her head.
"I don't.", their dad spoke up.
"Why?", Melina asked.
"Because Ric was here and saw them, if it was them he wouldn't have had a problem pointing them out", their dad said.
"True", Melina nodded.
"Unless it wasn't Ric who sent them. Maybe he was telling the truth, that he didn't know what we were talking about", Veronica said.
"That could be true too", Melina sighed.
"Let me find out", Veronica said.
"How? If it was them, they aren't just going to tell you", Nikki said.
"I spent more time with those masked men than you, I know them.", Veronica said.
"Fine. Ask Roman if you can go with them.", Brie said.
Veronica nodded.
"No, if they know you are on to them, they might hurt you", her dad said.
"Roman wouldn't hurt me. Oh and, you need to have a word with AJ Styles about Kenny Omega", she said, before walking out.
Some people said hi to her as she passed them. She smiled and scanned the room for Roman. He was talking to AJ and laughing. Casey pointed in her direction and Roman looked over. He excused himself and met her.
"Hey, everything okay? Casey told me you had a small meeting with your sisters", he said.
"Fine", she nodded.
He did too.
"I was wondering, if you wouldn't mind me coming with you to your house", she said.
He smiled.
"Really? Why?", he asked.
She shrugged.
"Just want to spend more time with you. Doesn't feel like enough", she said.
"Okay, I would love to have you over. Can't promise I will have time to spend with you. Gotta catch up on work", he said, touching her cheek.
"That's okay, maybe I can help", she replied.
He nodded.
"If I would have known I could have cleared my schedule", he smiled.
She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"We can figure something out", she whispered.
He nodded and leaned down to kiss her. She had a way of finding out if he was one of the masked men. The only problem was, he wanted to wait before sleeping with her. She knew his body without having even seen it.
Her fingers knew him, every inch, every scar on his sides and back.
Once they had all the information printed out. Bayley put them in a file for Seth.
"Thanks again for your help", he said.
"Anytime. I would rather be here than down at the party. Those things are so boring", she said, rolling her eyes.
"I know what you mean", he nodded.
He grabbed the file.
"Thanks again", he said, she followed him out.
Spotting Melina. Her sister kept an eye on Seth.
"What is it?", Bayley asked.
"We need to talk about the Bloodline", she whispered.
Bayley nodded. Seth found AJ and handed him the file.
"If you need help, we would be glad to help.", Seth said.
AJ nodded.
"For now, this is enough", AJ said.
Seth nodded. Melina walked over.
"Gentlemen, my dad would like a word before you all leave", she said.
AJ and Seth nodded.
"I'm going to go find my brother", Seth said, excusing himself.
AJ nodded, Melina stood close to AJ.
"How well do you trust the Bloodline?", she asked.
AJ looked at her.
"Well enough. They got Trish back", he replied.
She nodded.
"Why?", he asked.
"Something has come up is all", she replied.
He nodded as she walked away.
"What was that about?", Casey asked.
"Information on Kenny's new friends. As for Melina, I don't know. She just asked if I trusted the Bloodline", he said.
Casey nodded and shrugged.
As the party finished up. Everyone met in the meeting room.
"So, my daughter let me know you needed to meet with us", Garcia said.
AJ was confused.
"What?", AJ asked.
"About Kenny and his new friends", Veronica said.
AJ sighed.
"Casey talked to you?", he asked.
Veronica nodded. AJ leaned on the table.
"This new club, called the Elite. I know you heard what happened", AJ said.
Garcia nodded.
"We can handle them. They rush to get things done and fail. Just recently got some more info on the two new men", AJ said.
"Names?", Melina asked.
"Cody and Dustin Rhodes", he answered.
Garcia mumbled something in Spanish.
"By your reaction, I see you know them", Finn pointed out.
"Not them exactly, but their father", he replied.
"And Cody's mother", Melina added, rolling her eyes.
"Who's his mom?", Bayley asked.
"No one you need to worry about", Melina replied.
Roman saw the look on Melina's face, which meant she knew about her mom and who Cody was to her.
"Look, I can handle them for now. They aren't going to make any moves now. When I find out where they are, I am going after them", AJ said.
"Having more people on your side is better, we would like to help", Melina said.
"Count the Bloodline in as well", Roman nodded.
AJ nodded.
"It never hurts to have more", Finn said to AJ.
"Okay, once we find out where they are stationed and how many men they have, I will call you", AJ said.
Everyone nodded. Veronica caught up to AJ.
"Don't be mad at her for telling me. She's just worried about you. Especially now that she is pregnant.", she said.
AJ nodded.
"I know.", he replied.
"Get home safe", she said.
She went up to Casey and hugged her. Roman approached AJ.
"You should watch your back. Melina was asking if I trust you.", AJ said.
Roman looked at him.
"Thanks for the heads up", he mumbled.
"I owe you, for Trish", AJ said.
He walked away and Roman went in search of Garcia. Finding him still in the meeting room with Andrade. They both looked over as he closed the door behind him.
"They are onto you. Charlotte came in searching for her dad. Stirred the pot", Garcia said.
Roman sighed.
"What do I do?", he asked.
"Just play it cool, like you have been.", he replied.
Roman nodded.
"Hopefully this whole Elite thing will have all their attention, forget all about the masked men", Roman said.
Garcia chuckled.
"My daughters don't forget so easily", he replied.
"Just play it cool, like he said", Andrade repeated.
"I just don't feel good lying to her again", Roman said.
"I know. Trust me, I don't either, and I hope they never find out why I lied", Garcia nodded.
Roman was going to ask what he meant by that, but probably wouldn't get an answer. Then he stopped and looked back at Garcia.
"Does this have to do with your wife?", he asked.
Garcia looked up at him.
"What do you know?", he asked.
"That she tried to kill Veronica and Bayley, that she cheated on you with Cody Rhodes dad", he said.
Garcia folded his hands into his lap and leaned back in his chair.
"How dare I ask do you know that? And why?", he asked.
"Veronica wanted to know more about her mom.", Roman shrugged.
"And did you tell her?", he asked.
"Just about her cheating on you. I figured the first part would hurt her too much", he replied.
"Smart boy", Garcia nodded.
"She's alive. Do you think she'll come after Veronica?", he asked.
"We had a deal, but in case she tries to break it. Keep an eye on my baby", Garcia replied.
Roman nodded.
