"Remember to tell Chris about next weekend," Stephanie muttered to herself as she walked to her car. She screamed as someone grabbed her. A hand quickly covered her mouth.
"There's a gun right behind your ear," a low voice said near her ear.
Stephanie's gunman steered her to a stairwell in the parking garage. He let her go when they got in it. He was wearing a ski-mask. "Do you see how easy it is for me to get to you?" he asked menacingly.
"Yes," she said, tears running down her face.
"Whatever you're planning, stop," the man said. "Or I won't just scare you."
"What are you talking about?" Stephanie asked.
"You can stop planning whatever you're planning with Jericho," he said. Stephanie cocked her head to the side. He sounded familiar.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Stephanie said.
"I know you better than that," he said.
"Who are you?" Stephanie asked.
"You can't find that out," he said as he hit her in the temple with the butt of his gun.
*
"Steph!" Jericho exclaimed when he found her lying in the stairwell. Vince had gotten a call tipping him off that Stephanie might have been hurt. The person didn't say who they were.
Jericho crouched next to her. "Stephanie, wake up!"
"Chris?" Stephanie mumbled. Suddenly her eyes opened wide.
"It's okay baby," Jericho said. "What happened?"
"Some guy kind of held me up," Stephanie said. "But he warned me to stop planning whatever I was planning."
"What are you planning?" Kurt asked when he got to the stairwell.
"Nothing Kurt," Stephanie said.
"You okay?" Jericho asked, lightly touching the bruised on her temple. Semi-dried blood came off onto his finger. "Lets get you to a trainer."
*
"She's okay Shane," Lita said, pulling him back to her.
"What happened?" Shane asked, worry evident on his face.
"I don't know," Lita said. "Jericho said they would drop by tonight and tell us."
"Thank God," Shane said. "Oh man, I saw blood on her face and I just about hit the roof."
"I know," Lita said. "I know that you love her."
"Yeah," Shane said. "I guess I can't help it."
*
"Have you seen Jeff?" Trish asked Matt when she popped her head into the Team Xtreme dressing room.
"He went to grab some water I think," Matt said. "How are you doing?"
"Pretty good," Trish said. "You?"
"I'm good," Matt said. "You looked great in that match with Jackie earlier. Who's been training you?"
"Jeff," Trish said. "You fight Show and Spike today right?"
"Yeah," Matt said.
"Hey," Jeff said when he came into the room. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you silly," Trish said, turning to lightly kiss his lips.
"Great," Jeff said, hugging his girlfriend. He barely kept himself from glaring at his brother.
*
"Steph!" Shane exclaimed when she came into his hotel room with Jericho. She walked to him and hugged him. "Thank God you're okay."
"I've survived worse," Stephanie said.
"You shouldn't have to," Shane said.
"We think it was Vince that sent whoever it was," Jericho said.
"What?" Shane asked.
"I think he's on to the plan," Stephanie sighed. "But that's okay, because I already got my quarter of the company back."
"You have a quarter back?" Shane asked.
"Yeah," Stephanie said. "Now I just have to talk Flair into selling the rest to you."
"Me?" Shane asked.
"Yeah," Stephanie said. "We should keep this business in the family."
*
"I can have a contract written up that guarantees you a job a commissioner for as long as you want it," Stephanie said to Ric Flair.
"I don't know Stephanie," Flair said.
"Look," Stephanie said. "I can do this one of two ways. I can ask you to sell to Shane or I can side with my dad as long as it takes for you to sell your shares to Shane."
"And I won't lose my job?" Flair asked.
"No you won't," Stephanie confirmed.
"And you and Shane hate Vince?" Flair asked.
"Not him, just his business tactics," Stephanie said.
"You've got a deal young lady," Flair said.
*
"Your moonsault looked great tonight Lita," Kurt Angle said to Lita said backstage.
"Thanks," Lita said, ducking her head to hide a blush.
"I could use a few tips," Kurt said.
"Come on Kurt!" Lita exclaimed. "You've got a beautiful moonsault."
"Thanks," Kurt said happily.
"Hey Lita, Kurt," Shane said, coming onto their conversation.
"Hi," Kurt said.
"What's going on here?" Shane asked jovially.
"None of your business," Kurt said.
Shane looked at Lita questioningly. "We're just talking Shane."
"I'll see you around," Shane said, walking away.
*
"Stop it Matt!" Trish squealed as Matt tickled her.
"Give me my necklace back!" Matt said, continuing to tickle her.
"But I like it!" Trish said.
"Then you must like being tickled too," Matt laughed.
"What the hell is going on here?" Jeff asked, coming into the room with food for them.
"Nothing," Trish said, finally handing Matt his necklace.
"Whatever," Jeff said, setting the food down and then leaving the room.
"Jeff!" Trish exclaimed, getting up to go after her boyfriend.
*
"Where am I? Who are you?" Stephanie screamed in her sleep.
"Steph!" Jericho said, taking her into his arms. He began to gently shake her awake.
"Get off of me!" Stephanie exclaimed.
"Stephanie, wake up!" he yelled.
"Oh Chris," Stephanie sighed.
"What was it?" Chris asked.
"Undertaker again," Stephanie said, a tear slipping down her cheek.
"Damn it," Jericho said. She had had the same nightmare for a week, ever since she was held at gunpoint. "And damn your father."
*
"I don't believe that we did it," Lita said, lying next to Shane.
"We did though," Shane laughed. He took her hand and examined it. It suits you.
"God, I love you Shane McMahon," Lita said. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," Shane said, dipping his head to kiss her.
"Say it again," Lita said happily.
"I love you too," Shane said.
"No, no," Lita said. "My name."
"Lita McMahon," Shane said, grinning down at his bride.
*
"Daddy," Stephanie said. "I have something to tell you. Actually two things."
"What?" Vince asked.
"Hunter and I are divorced," Stephanie said.
"I know," Vince said. "I just talked to Hunter."
"Oh," Stephanie said.
"What was the other thing?" Vince asked.
"I'm seeing Jericho," Stephanie said quickly.
"About time," Vince said, "everyone could tell you two liked each other."
*
"How romantic," Trish breathed.
"Welcome to the family," Stephanie said, hugging Lita. "I can't believe you guys eloped."
"Did we take a page out of your book?" Shane asked.
"Just a little one," Stephanie said. "I told Dad I'm seeing Chris."
"What did he say?" Trish asked.
"That it was about time," Chris laughed.
"That's great," Shane laughed.
"There's a gun right behind your ear," a low voice said near her ear.
Stephanie's gunman steered her to a stairwell in the parking garage. He let her go when they got in it. He was wearing a ski-mask. "Do you see how easy it is for me to get to you?" he asked menacingly.
