Enter Fear [ Vince's office ]

Vince sat behind his desk, his eyes staring at the screen of the big television screen, for about the 10th time today they were showing recaps of the ending of Smackdown, and each time Vince saw it, it was another blow, another devastating blow.

Stephanie had actually bought ECW? And The Rock was with them? This couldn't be happening, The Rock was his wrestler, or had been before his greedy son, evil daughter and devious wife, or ex-wife, decided to steal him away. And Stephanie also took one of the most popular tag teams, The Dudley Boys, and Rhyno! Rhyno was a crowd favorite in the WWF and now he was in the ECW! And to make things worse, he had to look for a new announcer because 10 minutes ago Paul Heyman had quit to go join Stephanie and Shane, particularly Paul had left to join the ECW.

ECW this, ECW that... who gave the shit about ECW? Well obviously half the people in the crowd tonight, and considering The Rock was with ECW along with Mick Foley, a lot of people were going to be watching ECW more; Another blow from Stephanie and Shane that endangered the WWF, endangered his company.

"Damn little shits." Vince said turning off the television. "I gave them everything, the only damn reason those two are where they are today, is because of me, and this is how they repay me? By ... by destroying me?"

Vince knew that there wasn't anyone in the room reply to question, he had just needed to get the words out, the words that were spinning around in his head ever since Shane and Stephanie had declared that Stephanie was the new ECW owner. The look in Stephanie's eyes as she walked down the titantron had been cold, and evil, and for a moment all he could hear was Shane's music playing in the background and all he could see was the hatred his little girl had for him. Despite everything that he had ordered, everything he had watched happen, Vince McMahon still loved his daughter, and god it had hurt when he realized, when he found out that Stephanie had bought ECW underneath his nose, it was like the blow Shane had given him all over again, except this time he didn't have either child by his side, because they were both going against him.

This shouldn't have ended this way. At one time they had all been a family, and now what were they? Shane and Stephanie were dominating him, his wrestlers and his company, Linda was no longer his wife and he had become a man that he could no longer recogonize.

He had told Hunter to throw Stephanie through glass, how in the world could he bestow that sort of pain on his daughter? The moment she had entered his life he had known that she was his little treasure, that whenever things got too bad, that just a glance of her beautiful blue eyes and he knew that he would be okay, but somehow he had lost track of that gift Stephanie's smile always used to give him. Somehow the lust to make sure his company came out on top had taken control of his need to be a good dad.

"Shit." Vince hissed out, looking down at his watch, 8:00... DDP and Hunter were supposed to put the stalking plan in action at 8:00. Vince grabbed the phone and dialed Hunter's cellphone.

"Hello?" Hunter's voice came over the cellphone.

"Hunter, thank god I got you before you and DDP did anything, I changed my mind, don't go ahead with this plan, leave Stephanie alone." Vince replied, his voice coming out in quick sentences.

"What?" Hunter barked into the cellphone, his voice laced with confusion.

"I said the plan is off, I changed my mind, I don't want this to happen. Leave my daughter alone, don't go near her." Vince replied.

There was a long silence before Hunter replied. "Sorry Vince, but DDP is already putting the plan into action. Shane is asleep and Andrew is taking a shower and Stephanie went outside for a walk, and DDP is currently following her."

Vince's eyes dropped. "I have to go Hunter."

Vince slammed down the phone, his eyes dropped to the floor, he could try to stop DDP but he knew he wouldn't get to Stephanie in time before DDP put the plan into action; He could try to call Shane, but Shane probably wouldn't believe him; He could try to talk to Andrew, but Andrew would probably hang up before Vince got the chance to warn him of what was about to happen to Stephanie.

Vince picked up the phone once again, there was a chance that he would get hung up on, but he had to at least try to reach Shane or Andrew, make them understand that in a matter of minutes Stephanie would re-live an old fear.

[ Stephanie's locker-room ]

Shane fluttered his eyes open once heard the phone ringing, groaning Shane looked towards the bathroom listening to the shower, shaking his head Shane swung his legs over the couch and grabbed the phone. After Stephanie and him had declared the reunion of ECW they had come back to Stephanie's locker-room and Shane had instantly fallen asleep.

"Yeah?" Shane spoke into the phone, still attempting to wake up.

"Shane, don't hang up..." Vince's voice came over the phone, in a rushed tone.

Shane stared at the phone, his whole body completely awake, he had every nerve to hang up on the man he called his father but the tone in Vince's body made Shane reconsider. "You got 1 minute." Shane said, running a hand through his hair.

"Listen I can't tell you who is involved but your sister is in trouble --- " Vince started but was cut off quickly by Shane.

"Threatening us now are you? What dad can't take the heat? Well there is going to be a lot of heat in a very short time; Since I own WCW and Stephanie owns ECW you are going to feel a lot of heat, considering the fact that me and Stephanie are uniting both our companies to make one company WECW, that is World Extreme Championship Wrestling, and once we bring that team into the light you are going to wish you never messed with me and Stephanie." Shane said, with a smirk on his face.

"Listen Shane, right now this isn't about business --- " Vince started again but was cut off by Shane once more.

"You're right, this is about me hanging up on you." Shane said, getting ready to slam the phone down.

"No wait! Shane listen to me, where's your sister?" Vince asked quickly and loudly.

Shane sighed. "She's sitting right next to --- " Shane stopped as he realized he was alone in the locker-room and Stephanie's jacket was gone from the chair. "Where is she?" Shane asked, bringing his attention back to the telephone.

"Shane now calm down I need you to --- " Vince was cut off again by Shane.

"Screw you." Shane said slamming the phone down.

Shane jumped up from the couch and ran up to the bathroom door, he raised his fist to pound on the door, taking in a deep breath he let his fist pound on the bathroom door. "Andrew, open up!" Shane screamed, fear entering his body fast and quick. Shane didn't know what was going on, but his heart was beating fast, and his cheek muscle was pounding.

"Damn Shane, what's your problem?" Andrew asked, opening the bathroom door all the way.

"Is my sister in there with you?" Shane asked, he pushed Andrew to the side and walked into the bathroom.

"No, she's not. What the hell is going on Shane?" Andrew walked over to Shane who was looking in the shower. "Shane?" Andrew asked, starting to worry about Shane's behavior.

"She's gone." Shane muttered, walking out of the bathroom.

"What?" Andrew asked, still in the bathroom. He pulled on a shirt and some pants; After getting dressed Andrew walked out of the bathroom and into the main part of the locker-room. "Where's Steph?" Andrew asked, looking around the room.

"I don't know!" Shane screamed, facing Andrew. "She's gone. My dad called me and said Stephanie was in trouble and then he asked me where Stephanie was, and then I looked and she wasn't in the room!"

"Calm down." Andrew ran his fingers through his wet hair. "Did she tell you she was going anywhere before I went into the shower and you went to sleep?"

Shane shook his head. "No, she just told me to get some sleep and then I got the call from my dad."

Andrew looked at Shane. "Did he make it sound like a threat or a warning?"

Shane sat down on the couch, covering his face with his hands. "Half and half. I mean he sounded worried but the way the words came out it sounded like a threat. I would never think that my dad would do this, but I can't put anything past him anymore. He told Hunter to throw Stephanie through glass, when Jeff told us that he had heard my dad ordering DDP to attack me and Hunter to throw Stephanie through glass all I could see was that the man I used to call my father isn't the same man he used to be."

Andrew pulled his jacket on. "Yeah well greed does that to you, come on we're going to find Stephanie."

Shane nodded, following Andrew out the door.

[ Outside the building ]

Stephanie pulled her hair into a ponytail as she stared out at the stars, she let her eyes close; It had only been a few hours since she and Shane had announced that she was the new ECW owner, at the time it had seemed to be the perfect plan of revenge, she had loved the look on her father's face when The Rock had came out, but now Stephanie could feel the pain, the pain in knowing that she had crossed the final line, now her and Vince were on different sides, but when were they not? He had ordered Hunter to throw her through glass, he didn't care about anything besides his business, Shane had warned her so many times that Vince's first priority was the WWF, but until recently she didn't want to believe it.

Vince was her father, she used to be his little girl, but somehow things changed; When Hunter slapped her after the divorce her father hadn't been there, when Stephanie was pulled off the titantron by Hunter, it hadn't been Vince that had asked if she was okay; All the times she had been in turmoil Vince hadn't been there to comfort her, so crossing that final line to become her father's enemy was just so damn fitting.

DDP looked through the lens of the video camera as he recorded Stephanie; Stephanie was wearing a tanktop with a small sweater over it, she was wearing long pants and her long hair was up, exposing the back of her neck. DDP grinned as he walked closer to Stephanie, lowering the video camera.

The plan was to stalk Stephanie, to video tape her and play it on Smackdown and RAW like he had done with Sara, that was the plan Vince told them to do, but hell DDP was never a man to do what someone told him to do. DDP put the camera down to the ground and put black gloves on as he inched closer to Stephanie.

"What?" DDP growled into the phone, picking it up on the first ring.

"What the hell are you doing?" Hunter's voice came over the phone.

"Mixing pleasure with business." DDP answered quickly.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Hunter snarled into the phone.

"Trust me, look I got to go, before she hears me." DDP replied.

"Hey! What the hell are you going to do? Listen DDP don't do anything stupid, Vince isn't on our side with this anymore, he doesn't want you to touch Stephanie ... are you there?" Hunter growled the instant he heard a click on the other side of the phone, indicating DDP had hung up on him. "Shit." Hunter hissed.

DDP put the ski mask he had bought earlier on, he adjusted the ski mask and stared at Stephanie from the eye holes. He smirked to himself and put his hand over her mouth. "Don't scream." DDP hissed into Stephanie's ear.

Stephanie started to struggle when she felt a hand go over her mouth, but she instantly froze when she heard a muffled voice enter her ear.

"I'll remove my hand if you promise me you won't scream." DDP said in a hushed tone.

Stephanie nodded, she let out a deep breath once the hand was removed from her mouth, she looked to her left as she heard faint voices, Stephanie elbowed DDP in the ribs. "Help me!" Stephanie screamed, trying to run away from DDP.

DDP groaned and went to grab for Stephanie but fell to the ground as Hunter speared him. "What the hell?" DDP screamed out once he saw that it was Hunter that attacked him. "Bastard."

"Leave her alone." Hunter said, pointing a finger at DDP. "Get out of here Steph!" Hunter screamed.

DDP grinned and gave Hunter a diamond cutter and then grabbed Stephanie by the arm roughly.

"Did you hear that?" Jericho said, walking out of the door of the WWF arena.

"Yeah, did you hear --- " Chyna started but she was cut off by the sight of a man trying to pull Stephanie to him.

"Hey!" Jericho yelled getting the attention of the man, the man pulled Hunter up and dropped Stephanie and ran off as fast as he could. "Stephanie are you okay?" Jericho asked, running over to Stephanie with Chyna in tow.

"I, Jericho?" Stephanie said in a small voice, tears pricking at her eyes.

"Yeah, it's me, did he hurt you?" Jericho asked, staring at Stephanie concerned.

"I'll go get Shane and Andrew." Chyna said, before walking off.

"Steph?" Jericho asked again, he touched her shoulder.

"Is he gone?" Stephanie asked, hugging herself.

"Yeah --- " Jericho started but was cut of by Shane's frantic voice.

"Stephanie!" Shane pushed past Jericho and pulled Stephanie in for a hug, not even giving her a chance to say a word. Shane held onto Stephanie, not needing to know what happened, by the look on Chyna's face, he could tell it was bad, and right now all he wanted was to hold Stephanie, and protect her from harm.

"What happened?" Andrew asked, Jericho.

Jericho shook his head sadly. "I heard Stephanie scream, so me and Chyna walked out of the building and we saw this man grabbing Stephanie, I screamed at him, and the man grabbed Hunter and took off running. The guy was wearing a ski mask so I couldn't tell who he was, but it looked the guy was trying to take her."

Andrew closed his eyes. "Hunter and a man did this?"

Jericho nodded. "What it looked like."

"When will this ever stop?" Andrew asked, not really expecting an answer.

"Stephanie?" Benoit walked towards the group.

"Chris!" Stephanie said once Shane let her go.

"I called the police." Benoit said. "Don't know how that will help but I knew it needed to be done." Benoit pulled Stephanie in for a hug as Shane walked over to Andrew.

"Stephanie said she swears it was DDP who grabbed her." Shane said to Andrew.

Andrew nodded. "I'm going to kill him, so hopefully it will be him so I won't be killing an innocent man, and after I kill DDP I'm going to kill Hunter, I'm damn sick of this. I stood back, treating Stephanie as an equal, not doing the things I knew I should be doing to Hunter, but now my patience is over. I won't be the patient boyfriend anymore, I want them dead, you hear me Shane?"

Shane nodded. "Kill them Andrew."
