Paul opened the door of the two story brick house that he and Sydney shared and took a deep breath. It felt good to be home, even if it was for a short while. He saw a light coming from the front living room and walked in to see Sydney asleep on the couch, tears staining her face, watching old home movies. Paul pulled a blanket onto her and kissed her cheek.
" God, so that's what I looked like with hair." he said chuckling as he sat down in a recliner and watched the TV. " The day we brought you home from the hospital. I remember that day like yesterday." he said quietly, looking at Sydney. " It's hard to believe that was 25 years ago."
The phone wrung and Sydney sat straight up. Paul reached over and picked up the phone and Sydney looked at him.
" Hello."
" Paul, where the hell are you?" Stephanie asked from over the phone.
" I'm at home, straightening things out." Paul said angrily. Sydney looked down at the blanket around her.
" Good. Tell Sydney that she isn't welcome here."
" We'll talk about this when I get back." Paul said, hanging up the phone as Sydney looked over at him.
" Dad..I..I didn't do it. I would never hurt Terry like that." she said. Paul looked back at her and went to sit beside her on the couch.
" I know sweetie. Terry told me everything. It's okay, I understand. I wish you guys would have just told me instead of sneaking around, but it's okay now." Paul said, hugging her.
" But what about Stephanie?" she asked, her head on Paul's shoulder.
" I know she's behind it, but I'm not sure how."
" I know people who will help us." Sydney said getting up and going to the computer desk on the other side of the room. She pulled out an address book and looked up the two people that would help her out.
" Hello?" the voice on the other end said.
" Adam?"
" Syd? Hey, long time eh?"
" Adam, I need you and Jay's help, but we gotta keep it on the down low if you know what I mean."
" Is it about Jericho beating up Terry?"
" Yeah, can you help?"
" More than you probably think..hold on a sec, let me go get Jay."
Paul looked at her confused.
" Copeland and Reso detective agency at our service." Sydney said smiling. Paul nodded his approval and she heard two voices on the phone.
" Hey Syd." she heard Jay say.
" Hey Jay. We need to nail the Princess. I know this is a little unorthodox, seeing as how Terry and I are ECW and you guys are WWF, but..."
" We don't see that shit, you guys are our friends and we want to help you. We heard about all that's been going on between you and her." Adam said.
" We went to visit Terry." Jay said.
" Then you know the situation, good." Sydney said sitting down in the office chair.
" Plus, we saw Stephanie talking to a one Mr. Chris Jericho, just before Terry was attacked. We didn't get there in enough time to do anything, though."
" No way." Sydney said.
" Yes way, and we heard everything. She wants you out of ECW. She's pulling that whole dominate female thing again. God I hate that." Jay said.
" Me too man, you could kick her ass Sydney." Adam said.
" That's what I may have to do." she said, smiling. " Right now, I think that's the only way to do it. Thank you guys. I don't know how I'll ever repay you."
" Just let us be in the wedding, that's all we ask." Jay said. She chuckled.
" Sure thing guys. I'll be in touch later."
" We'll be here."
" Thanks guys."
" No prob Syd. Later." the both said.
" Later." she said, hanging up the phone smiling.
" So?" Paul asked.
" Well, it seems that Stephanie has something going on with Mr. Jericho." Sydney said, turning to face Paul.
" Wow, they found that out already."
" They saw it before it happened. They couldn't prevent the attack on Terry, but they saw and heard everything. Looks like Steph didn't cover her tracks well enough."
" How'd they see it?"
" I donno, but Adam and Jay have the tendency to be place they shouldn't be at the right time. This being a perfect example." she said.
" I think this calls for a confrontation on RAW, don't you?"
" I think it does Dad, I think it does."
" God, so that's what I looked like with hair." he said chuckling as he sat down in a recliner and watched the TV. " The day we brought you home from the hospital. I remember that day like yesterday." he said quietly, looking at Sydney. " It's hard to believe that was 25 years ago."
