Shane woke up to almost the normal pain in his neck. The vampires must have been feeding while he was asleep again. His hand touched his neck trying to find a fresh wound. He found it and sighed. So much for Undertaker keeping his word he thought. He didn't know why his father would trust him like that. His father must love him a lot.
A voice in his head said of course he did. He had always known that the Ministry was just trying to break him by saying his family didn't care about him. his fahter would have never agreed to this if he didn't.
He rolled over and looked at his watch. 7:30 AM. Vampires were asleep but that didn't mean the rest of the Ministry wasn't. He tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. He sighed and got out of bed and headed to the next room.
He sat down and a plate of something was set in front of him. he wasn't quite sure what it was. so he picked at it. he drank the water out of the pitcher. He grimaced at the pain that drinking caused.
"It's not poisoned." Bradshaw said causing Shane to stop playing with his food. "Mideon just can't cook anything recognizable so eat it."
Shane took a small bite and swallowed. It actually wasn't too bad. He ate the rest of the food on the plate and was relieved that nothing happened.
"Your father will be here later this afternoon." Undertaker said from the other side of the room. "So cover up your throat."
Shane sighed. He had been right about the Undertaker not keeping his word. Not that it was a first time. But he just nodded. He knew it was best to just agree with the Phenom.
The rest of the morning, and afternoon, Shane watched TV. There wasn't much else to do. He was relieved when Vince entered the room. He held in the urge to run over and hug his father.
Vince took a seat next to his son and waited for the Undertaker to come into the room. There were too many people in there at the moment to talk to his son without one of them listening in. His son looked even paler then he did the day before. He wondered if the Undertaker went back on his word. Not that he would be totally surprised. But perhaps he hadn't. Maybe the paleness was from lack of sunshine. Vince doubted his son had left the hotel room today. He was sure the Undertaker wouldn't let Shane out of his sight. He became more determined to save his son. Undertaker would not get away with this.
Undertaker came back into the room. "We need to plan for Monday. That is when you will reveal yourself as the Higher Power Vince." Vince was about to respond but the Undertaker held up a hand as if he was silencing him. "It will happen Monday Vince or the brood will have another member." Vince looked back to Shane who had started shaking again. He sat back in his seat without saying a word. "As I was saying we need to plan this. There will be no improvising! It needs to work."
"So what exactly is this Higher Power supposed to do?" Vince asked.
Undertaker turned to him. "Nothing. You won't actually be the Higher Power McMahon. It's all for show. I want everyone to think that both you and your son are in the Ministry of Darkness or rather soon to be the Corporate Ministry." He said with a dark chuckle.
"What do you mean the Corporate Ministry? There is no such thing." Vince was starting to feel uneasy again.
"There will be Monday." Undertaker said. "You will go to the ring with a hooded robe on. And then when the time is right you will reveal yourself as the Higher Power."
"And then Shane will be let go right?" Vince asked even though he was sure what the answer would be.
"Not yet. I have to make sure you fulfill your part of the deal. But you have my word. Shane will be let go."
Vince sighed. They went back to plotting. At the end of the meeting, Vince got up to leave. Before he got to the door Shane hugged him. "Thanks dad."
"You're welcome and be careful Shane. They are a dangerous group."
"I know." Shane said. Vince was sure he knew better then anyone
