Things between Hunter and Evie were extremely strained over the next few days. She point-blank told him the following morning that she wasn't going to put up with anymore of his crap. If he even attempted to touch her again, she'd make him hurt. From now on, she was here to do her job and that was it.

Hunter nodded his head, resisting the urge to make another comment like he had the night before. He figured he had pretty much driven his point home and there was no need to do it again. He had felt bad about what he had said to her, but as he thought about it more, he decided it was probably for the best. He didn't need the distractions of a relationship. Otherwise, his main focus was Kane. They both became indifferent in thier attitudes towards each other. If Ric noticed the change, he didn't comment on it.

They arrived in Montreal late Sunday night and went directly to the hotel. Evie checked them all in, gave Ric and Hunter their keys.

"Is that all tonight guys?" she asked.

Hunter only nodded. Ric smiled at her. "If you wanna head on up Evie, go ahead. I don't think we'll need you anymore tonight."

"Thanks," Evie replied as she shouldered her laptop bag, picked up her suitcase and headed for the elevator.

Hunter watched her for a few seconds, waiting until she was out of earshot and then turned his attention back to Ric. "So what have you got up your sleeve this time?"

Ric grinned at Hunter. "I think we need to give Kane an ultimatum, but let's talk about that somewhere a little more private."

Both men got into the other elevator and took it up to their floor. Hunter tossed his bags in his room while Ric waited and they went into Ric's room.

Hunter turned around to face Ric as the door closed. "So what's this ultimatum?"

Ric piled his things on his bed and motioned for Hunter to sit down on the chair as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Well, I think Kane needs to be given the chance to tell the truth about what happened before you do."

"Uh huh. And that's supposed to do what? Take the wind outta my sail?"

Ric shook his head. "No, no. That just gives you more ammunition against him, because no matter what Kane says, you and I know the truth." He sat back and spread his arms wide. "And I think the whole wide world needs to know exactly what happened to poor Katie."

Hunter smiled. "Because whatever "truth" Kane comes up with, it won't be the real one will it?"

"Now you got it champ!" Ric exclaimed.

"So why don't we go over this stuff a bit more then," Hunter suggested as an unpleasant grin spread across his mouth.

*********************

The monitor in Hunter's dressing room showed the footage of Hunter accusing Kane last week. Evie watched as Coach tried to get a word with Kane as he and Hurricane came in the building. Kane basically told Coach to mind his own business and he and Hurricane walked off.

Unfortunately for Kane, his luck worsened through the evening. He and Hurricane lost their tag team belts to Jericho and Christian. Kane displayed his anger by tossing some equipment around backstage.

Ric and Hunter, having been given the night off, had a good chuckle at Kane's reaction to his tag title loss. They both sat on the couch in Hunter's dressing room laughing at the monitor screen.

"Hell, if he's mad now, think what he'll be like at the end of the show," Hunter quipped.

"He'll be on fire," Ric commented.

Hunter laughed. "Yeah, he'll definitely get burned on this one."

"So how soon should we bring this up?" Ric asked.

"Ah, we'll give him a little time to tell the truth."

Evie tapped away on her laptop answering a couple of emails and downloading their itinerary for the next month. She pretended like she was ignoring the two men, but was listening intently to what they were saying. She felt sorry for Kane. No one deserved to be humiliated in public. And from the snatches of conversation she had overheard from Ric and Hunter, that's exactly what they were planning to do to Kane. She knew Hunter was doing this to keep Kane off balance for the title match at No Mercy, but she couldn't help feeling bad for him anyway.

Her thoughts were disturbed when Hunter stood up and started protesting about something.

"A Canadian lumberjack match? With leather straps? What the hell is that?" He looked at Ric. "I was supposed to have the night off dammit! What is Bischoff thinking by putting me in a match with RVD?"

Ric looked slightly flustered as well. "I got a match with RVD at No Mercy. What the hell is that all about?"

Hunter calmed down a bit as his mind went into action. "Look, I'll take care of RVD tonight so you don't have to worry about him at No Mercy. And I'm gonna give Kane until the end of the next match to spill the beans about the murder, or I'm gonna tell the whole world about Katie Vick."

****************

Kane was in the ring immediately following the last match. He stood there for a few seconds with a mic in hand, trying to gather the courage to just say what needed to be said.

"Katie Vick was a friend of mine and she's dead. I didn't kill her; it was an accident and I'm not a murderer."

"Katie and I were friends back when I first started wrestling. She came to my first match. She cared about me and I cared about her too." He paused for a second or two and then continued. "One night, we went to a party and Katie had too much to drink, so I decided to drive her home. The car was a stick shift, and I wasn't really familiar with driving one, but Katie insisted we take her car."

"The roads were slick, and I had to swerve when an animal jumped out in front of the car. The car slid off the road and rolled over a couple times. My arm was broken but Katie… well Katie was killed instantly. It was an accident, but it is something I have thought about everyday since."

Kane looked into the camera. "The only thing I have left to say is what I said to Katie's parents. I'm sorry."

Hunter's music started up and he came out to the top of the ramp. He waved for the music to be cut and lifted a mic to his mouth. "Aw Kane, you got me all choked up," Hunter pretended to wipe a tear from his eye. "Why don't you tell the whole truth? Because when the people from the party were questioned, they all said you were drinking too."

Hunter continued. "There were empty beer cans in the car and all around the scene of the accident. But when doctors did the autopsy on Katie Vick, they found your semen Kane. You were madly in love with Katie Vick. The problem was, Katie Vick only liked you; she didn't love you or share the attraction. Who could blame her?"

"I know you weren't charged with murder, but facts are facts, and all the facts point at you Kane. You killed Katie Vick." Hunter smirked. "One thing I do want to know though; on that night, did you force Katie Vick to have sex with you when she was still alive, or did you do it when she was already dead?" Hunter walked backstage after that remark, the smirk still on his face.

Ric was waiting for him behind the curtain. When he saw Hunter, he clapped him on the shoulder. "Nice job champ. Nice job."

Both men laughed as they headed back to Hunter's dressing room so Hunter could get ready for his lumberjack match.

Before they even made it halfway there, Terri stopped them to interview Hunter. "Hunter, can I get your thoughts on what you just said to Kane."

"Hey, I didn't ask for any of this controversy, I'm just reporting the facts Terri."

Terri gave him a strange look. "Well it seems kind of a convenient time for this story to come out, given your match with Kane at No Mercy."

"The information was given to me and all I'm doing is reporting the facts. You know Terri, you should watch out for a guy like Kane. He hurts people close to him." Hunter looked straight at her. "Kane is a murderer, and I'll take care of him at No Mercy. As far as my match against RVD tonight, I'll overcome the odds as usual and beat RVD."

Hunter and Ric walked away.

**************

Evie sat in Hunter's dressing room staring at the monitor. How could Kane take that shit from Hunter? She would have been all over Hunter in seconds. It was sickening, to say the least, but it didn't surprise her. After what Hunter had pulled on her in Vegas, she was starting to see that he would do anything he could to get what he wanted and the consequences be damned. It didn't make any difference to him whose life he ruined in the process, as long as he kept his title.

It wasn't right, but what could she do about it? She wasn't a wrestler, she was a personal assistant. But then again, assistants are pretty much overlooked around the company. No one pays attention to us unless they want something done. So maybe there was something she could do. Her mind worked furiously on the problem as Ric and Hunter came back in, chuckling over Kane's reaction.

Hunter looked over at Evie. "I gotta get ready for my match, so you need to leave," he said as he hooked a thumb towards the door.

"Fine," she responded as she picked up her cell phone. "Do you want me to get your water while I'm out?"

Hunter nodded as he opened up his bag to pull out his gear. Ric turned to her. "I'd appreciate some coffee too if it's not a problem."

"No problem," Evie replied as she opened the door and walked out.

Ric watched her leave, admiring the view. He turned back to Hunter and noticed that the other man was watching him. "What?" Ric asked innocently.

"Don't bother Ric. It's not worth it."

Ric grinned. "Hey I can look can't I?"

Hunter shook his head. "Just make sure that's all you do. I don't need you coming on to her and pissing her off. I got other things to worry about."

Ric's hands came up in mock surrender. "I wasn't planning on it champ, so ease off."

"Good, cause I don't need to put up with that crap."

*****************

During Booker T and Big Show's match, Hunter had parked a forklift in front of one of the locker room doors so that half the wrestlers wouldn't be able to get out to Hunter's match.

Coach asked him about it, but Hunter brushed him off, telling him to mind his own damn business and walked off to his dressing room to get his water before the match started.

Evie had left his water out for him. She was on her cell phone with someone, arguing about how many hotel rooms they needed and how soon they needed them. Hunter grabbed a bottle and went into the shower. He poured the water over his head, wetting down his hair.

Ric came in, looked at Evie, who pointed towards the shower, and Ric walked in on Hunter.

"Everything taken care of?" Ric asked.

Hunter raised his head and smiled at Ric. "Yeah. I parked a forklift in front of the locker room. No problem."

"Then things should go our way tonight."

Hunter dropped the empty bottle in the trash and he and Ric walked out into the dressing room. Evie was still on the phone, apparently on hold as she was typing something into her laptop.

Ric stood next to her and she looked up at him. "Yes?" she asked.

"Could you make sure everything is ready to go so we can get out of here as soon as Hunter's done?"

Evie nodded in response. "No problem."

"Thanks." He turned to Hunter. "Let's go champ."

Both men walked out of the room, closing the door behind them.

Evie finished up what she was working on and watched the monitor. As Hunter and Ric headed to the ring, she noticed that the "lumberjacks" were all wrestlers that would give Hunter an advantage over RVD.

Twice Hunter threw RVD out of the ring and the lumberjacks went to town on him with the leather straps. After the second time, they threw RVD back in the ring and Hunter proceeded to throw punches at him. RVD reversed a kick from Hunter into a heel kick and Hunter fell out of the ring. None of the lumberjacks touched him. RVD climbed to the top turnbuckle and frog splashed Hunter and the lumberjacks. Both men got back into the ring and went back and forth at each other before RVD was thrown out of the ring again. The lumberjacks attacked him with the leather straps again and then threw RVD back in. Hunter managed to almost pin RVD three times, but RVD managed to get his shoulder up in time. Hunter then elbowed RVD in the back and as RVD struggled to his feet, Hunter threw him into the corner and executed a couple shoulder blocks on RVD.

Hunter worked RVD over and then put him in an abdominal stretch with a little outside help from Rosey. Evie couldn't take it anymore. An idea popped into her head and as the ref broke up the hold on RVD, Evie opened the door to make sure no one was lingering in the hallway and then walked out.

She quickly walked through the backstage area and located the locker room that Hunter had been talking about. It was kind of hard not to miss; what with the forklift sitting in front of it and the sound of people banging on the door.

As Evie climbed onto the forklift, she grinned like a Cheshire cat. She fired up the engine and after a couple of attempts, managed to move it back enough so that the wrestlers could get out of the locker room. Before the door opened, she quickly climbed down off the forklift and headed the opposite direction, disappearing around a corner before anyone saw her. She heard the sound of several pairs of feet pounding away in the direction of the ring. It may not have been much, but it was something. Evie headed back to Hunter's dressing room.

She got back in time to see that all hell had broken loose on the outside of the ring with lumberjacks attacking lumberjacks and the ref was no where in sight. RVD had given Hunter a flying kick then climbed up tot he top rope again and delivered a 5 Star Frog Splash on Hunter. Flair climbed into the ring with the title and nailed RVD with it. Hunter immediately took advantage of the situation and covered RVD for the pin. Someone threw the ref back in after reviving him and slammed his hand on the mat three times, signifying Hunter as the winner.

Evie rolled her eyes. Of course Ric would interfere. But that didn't surprise her. What did surprise her was that Kane came out after the bell rang, mowed down several lumberjacks and then beat down Hunter and Flair in the ring. Kane had grabbed both men by the throats to give them a choke slam, but Flair wriggled out of it and gave Kane a low blow. Kane dropped Hunter to clutch himself and both Hunter and Flair rolled out of the ring and headed for the ramp.

Kane recovered and bellowed angrily. He went berserk as he choke slammed several of the other wrestlers. Rosey and Jamal attacked Kane and whipped him into a corner, but Kane came back and choke slammed both of the huge men.

As Kane stood in the middle of the ring, he turned to face Hunter who had made it to the top of the ramp with Flair. They stared each other down and the monitor went black.

Evie sighed in resignation. Hunter had come out on top again. Well what did I expect? she thought sarcastically. Quickly she gathered up Hunter's things, her things and Ric's stuff and piled it by the door so they would be ready to leave as soon as Hunter came back.

She had just finished when both men burst into the room. Hunter looked around as Ric began picking bags up. "Let's go before Kane decides he wants to go another round," he said to Evie.

The three of them quickly hustled out to the limo and piled everything into the trunk. As soon as the door had shut, the driver pulled away. Hunter sat back in the seat, trying to catch his breath. Ric was opened a bottle of water and handed it to Hunter.

"That was close," Hunter said as he took the bottle from Ric.

"True, it was. I wanna know how those other wrestlers got out though," replied Ric.

"Probably some stage hand or something. Not that it mattered anyway," Hunter responded with a smirk.

Ric laughed. "I think RVD will be feeling that head shot for a few days."

Evie said nothing as the two men continued to talk all the way back to the hotel.

*************

Hunter managed to defeat Kane at No Mercy, thus retiring the Intercontinental title. Of course there was some outside interference from Ric and Hunter Pedigreed Kane for the win. Ric had came out victorious over RVD in their match earlier.

Kane went on a rampage backstage, tearing up packing crates, tossing around anything he could get his hands on, including a couple of people who were foolish enough to think they could calm him down.

Hunter, Evie and Ric had left immediately following Hunter's match. Evie sat in silence, watching the scenery slide by, as Hunter and Ric talked about their matches. It was only when they started speaking in hushed whispers that she turned an attentive ear to what they were saying as she kept looking out the window.

She overheard them talking about setting Kane up even further, but didn't catch the details. She heard the words "funeral parlor," "mask," and "casket," but didn't quite know what to make of them. It sounded like they had something even worse planned for Kane. It was bad enough that Kane had to endure Hunter bringing up a painful secret, but now it seemed that Hunter was going to continue to capitalize on it.

Evie sighed as she shifted on the seat. Ric's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Evie? You there?"

She turned her head to find both men looking at her. "I'm sorry?"

"I was just saying that Hunter and I are going to go out after we get cleaned up, so we won't need you anymore tonight."

She glanced towards Hunter, who was now avoiding her gaze by pretending to adjust one of his leg braces. She quickly turned her eyes up to meet Ric's and smiled politely. "That's fine, thanks Ric."

"I'm sure you have better things to do than hang around us," Ric joked as the limo stopped in front of their hotel.

The driver had opened her door before she could respond. The three of them gathered up their things and headed inside.

****************

Evie found out soon enough what they had been whispering about in the limo. They were in Nashville that Monday for RAW and Ric brought in a videotape with him when they arrived at the Gaylord Entertainment Center.

No sooner had they left their things in the dressing room, than a go-fer knocked on the door and told Hunter they were ready for him. Hunter glanced at Ric. They exchanged a look and then headed out the door; Ric was still holding onto the tape.

Evie switched the monitor on and just as she had sat down on the sofa, her cell phone rang.

"This is Evie."

"Hey doll. The boss man ain't around is he?"

"No," she replied with a chuckle.

"How are ya?"

Evie smiled. "Fine Shawn. How are you?"

"Well I'm doing better now that I've heard your voice. It's been a while since I talked to you."

"Where are you?"

"I'm in New York right now. You might wanna watch for me 'cause I'll be on later."

Evie tucked one leg under the other. "How's your therapy going?"

"Pretty good. I've made a lot of progress and expect to be back to normal real soon. But how about you? How are things between you and Hunter?"

Evie made a face. "It's a long story Shawn and I'd really like to tell you the whole thing, but can I give you the short version for now?"

"Uh oh. That doesn't sound too good, but yeah, gimme the short version."

"He took it upon himself to insult me in the worst way. I told him that if he ever laid a hand on me ever again, I'd make him hurt."

Shawn grinned. "Yeah that doesn't sound good at all. What happened?"

"Can I call you later tonight and tell you? I really don't want to go into it here."

Shawn cleared his throat. "Well, I might be engaged later on tonight, but how 'bout I call you later instead?"

"That's fine. Just leave me a voicemail if I don't pick up right away."

"All right doll. I'll talk to you later then. And don't forget to watch for me."

Evie laughed. "Don't worry. I will." She disconnected the call and turned her attention back to the monitor.

Hunter and Ric were in the ring and Hunter began shooting his mouth off. He bragged about how he beat Kane last night at No Mercy; about how he retired the Intercontinental belt. Ric brandished the videotape in his hand and Hunter started talking about that.

"Tonight I will show the world what kind of man Kane really is. This videotape will show all of you just how sick and twisted he is. How he wasn't able to let Katie Vick rest in peace."

Hunter continued to run his mouth about Kane and what Kane did to Katie Vick when the Hurricane ran out and into the ring. Hurricane grabbed the tape, but he was attacked by both Ric and Hunter. They left him lying on the mat as they walked back up the ramp with the tape.

Evie was glad she had to pick up some faxes so she didn't have to be in the room with either of them when they came back. She didn't think she could take anymore weak jokes about Kane. Evie left the room and headed to Bischoff's office. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so she decided to take a walk down to catering to get some juice and then come back.

She rounded a corner and saw Jericho and Christian harassing Trish Stratus. She stopped before she was noticed and was about to head back the other way when she heard Jericho use his "injection of Vitamin C" line. Evie clapped a hand over mouth to stifle a laugh. However, she could see that Trish was not amused. Trish stomped away before Jericho could make any other comments.

Before Evie could walk away, Jericho spotted her. "Well, well, if it isn't my favorite red head." He looked her over, noticing the short skirt she was wearing. "Nice legs Red. When do they open?"

Evie folded her arms across her chest. "Nice mouth Jericho. When does it shut?" she shot back without missing a beat.

Jericho stalked over to her. He leaned over so that his mouth was next to her ear. "You know Red, I wanna give myself to you."

"Oh Jericho, that's so sweet, but I don't accept cheap, nasty gifts," Evie replied in a falsely sweet tone.

He pulled back and leered at her, opening his mouth to retort, but stopped as Christian laid a hand on his shoulder. "Dude, we got a match. Quit messing around and let's go."

Jericho allowed himself to be pulled away, still leering at her. Evie couldn't resist a parting shot.

"Hey Jericho, if you grab your ears and pull real hard, you just might be able to remove your head from your ass."

Jericho flipped her off in response. Evie shook her head as she headed back to Bischoff's office to pick up the faxes. Jericho had pretty much left her alone physically after their little altercation in the hotel bar. His confrontations were mostly verbal now, but he still gave her the creeps most of the time. She arrived at Bischoff's office and knocked on the door. This time however, she was told to come in.

Evie opened the door and walked in just as Bischoff was getting up from his chair.

"And what can I do for you?" he asked as his eyes roved over her attire. She had on a black skirt that ended mid-thigh, a ¾ sleeved, dark green button down shirt and her black boots.

"Ric asked me to come and get those faxes he was waiting on from the corporate office."

Bischoff picked up a sheaf of papers from his desk and held them out to her. "Here you are." Evie reached for them but before she could take them, Bischoff pulled them away. "What are you going to give me in return?" he asked suggestively.

For the life of her, Evie could not understand what was with the men in this company tonight. Was it something in the water? "I'm not going to give you anything, but Ric or Hunter will probably give you a knuckle sandwich if you don't let me have those," she replied matter-of-factly.

Bischoff shrugged as he thrust the papers at her. "Yeah well, I've got too much to do to waste time playing games with you anyway."

Evie took the papers and quickly made her exit before Bischoff could say anything else. She found Ric and Hunter having a hushed conversation on the sofa. When she came in, they stopped talking.

Ric looked at the papers Evie had in her hand. "Are those what I've been waiting for?"

Evie handed them to Ric. "If that's what you sent me to pick up, then yes," she replied with a smile.

"Thanks Evie," Ric said as he shuffled through them. "Looks like everything is in order. Hunter, wanna have a look?"

"Nah. I trust you to get it taken care of Ric," Hunter responded as he stood up. "We need to get going."

"Oh yeah. Right." Ric tucked the papers into his briefcase and picked up the videotape he had been carrying earlier. He paused to look Evie over as he was heading to the door. "You look much better in that than those jeans and t-shirts you were wearing. Of course, if your going to be seen with us, you gotta look good. And you do look good."

Again Evie smiled. "I appreciate that Ric. Thanks."

Ric waved at Evie as he and Hunter walked out. Hunter glanced at Ric. "What the hell was that about?"

"Nothing. Can't a guy pay a compliment to a pretty lady any more?"

"You've got plenty of pretty ladies to compliment Ric. Lay off Evie."

Ric chuckled. "You're talking like you've got something for her." He looked closer at Hunter. "Do you?"

"No, but leave her alone okay? I don't need the mess of you hitting on my employee."

Ric smiled. "Fine. I'll leave her alone."

They dropped the tape off at the production truck with instructions to be ready to roll it as soon as Hunter gave the word. After that, they sought out Jonathan Coachman.

"Triple H, my understanding is that you have proof of how sick Kane is, as you said earlier."

"Yeah Coach, I got proof. Why don't you roll the tape and I'll show you the proof.

**************

Evie watched in horror as "Kane" proceeded to talk to, fondle and then undress and have "sex" with Katie Vick's "corpse". The whole thing was disgusting. Was there no low that Hunter wouldn't sink to? Well, obviously not if this was his "proof". It was all just to humiliate Kane.

The clip finished and Hunter was shown on the monitor laughing his ass off. Coach just shook his head in response as he was at a loss for words for once. The camera cut to Terri, who had been standing outside Kane's dressing room to talk, and the door was slammed in her face. Kane had no response to what had just been shown.

Evie felt sick. The entire thing was in absolute bad taste. She couldn't believe that the man she had fallen in love with would go to lengths like that just to get under someone's skin. She shuddered in revulsion, thinking about the way he had touched her, kissed her. She retched as she thought about the two of them together in bed. What had once been exciting was now soured by Hunter's recent actions.

Evie got up and went into the bathroom to get a drink of cold water. She leaned against the wall to stop shaking. After a couple of minutes, she calmed down and went back into the other room. Just as the cameras showed Shawn Michaels walking onto the stage at The World in New York city, Hunter and Ric entered the room. Both men were laughing at Kane's misfortune.

They turned their attention to the screen. The clip from SummerSlam of Hunter beating Shawn up post match was shown, and then the stage at The World came up. Shawn was wheeled out in a wheelchair. Shawn was expounding on his rehab process and how he had high hopes about getting back to one hundred percent. He struggled as he attempted to get out of his wheelchair.

Suddenly he sprang to his feet and looked right into the camera. "Hunter, don't hunt what you can't kill." Shawn danced across the stage and the camera cut to the ring back in Tennesee again.

Hunter said nothing as Ric told him not to worry about Shawn. He wasn't a hundred percent and there was no way Shawn would take on Hunter at this time.

Hunter heaved himself off the couch and glanced at Evie. "We need to get ready."

Evie nodded, scooped up her cell phone and left.

"I"m not worried about Shawn. In fact, I'm not even concerned. What I am concerned about, is our match," Hunter said.

"So let's get ready to kick some ass," Ric replied.

***************

Evie found a quiet corner to hang out in around the parking area as she waited for the two men to change into their gear. She unfolded a steel chair that was propped against the wall and sat down. Her mind worked over that disgusting videotape again. Deep down inside, she felt a burning desire to get back at Hunter even though the tape hadn't been directed at her. But it wasn't just about the tape. It was also about the things he had said to her in Vegas. It didn't matter to her anymore that he might be scared to admit his feelings for her; if he had any. What mattered was the fact that Hunter was rapidly believing he could do anything he wanted to anyone and get away with it.

Someone needs to pull that sledgehammer out of his ass and hit him on the head with it. It's probably wedged so far up there that it would take surgery to remove it anyway.

A car was being backed up to the doors to the arena. Evie looked up in time to see the Hurricane jump out of the drivers side and open the trunk. As he started walking back into the building, he noticed Evie.

"What are you doing out here citizen?" he asked.

"Just getting some fresh air," she replied as she glanced back at the car. "That wouldn't happen to be for Hunter would it?"

"Maybe it is and maybe it isn't," Hurricane said evasively. "Are you going to tell him?"

Evie shook her head. "No. Why would I do that?"

"Well you are his assistant."

A chuckle escaped Evie. "Just because I'm his assistant, doesn't mean I like him."

Hurricane moved closer to her, watching her warily. "You don't like Triple H?" When Evie shook her head again, Hurricane became thoughtful. "You know, I believe we just may get along."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about a superhero and a citizen working together to bring evil to justice," Hurricane replied loftily.

Evie smothered a laugh. "You know Hurricane, evil does need to be brought to justice. Someone really needs to teach Hunter that lesson."

"I shall confer with my associates and get back to you. But you are correct; someone does need to teach Triple H a lesson." He pulled his cape up around him, saluted Evie and swished off.

"Oh for the love of Pete," she muttered under her breath. She went back to Hunter's dressing room to watch the match between Hunter, Ric, Kane and RVD. She chuckled as she thought about what Hurricane had said. Well someone did need to pull that sledgehammer out of Hunter's ass, or surgically remove it. An idea suddenly struck her. She grinned as she quickly located Hurricane and asked to speak to him for a few minutes.

"I think I know how to teach Hunter that lesson," she said breathlessly.

Hurricane was all ears as he listened to her outline her idea.

****************

The tag team match quickly went to hell. Hunter and Kane ended up battling on the outside of the ring and into the back while Flair and RVD fought it out in the ring. RVD leveled Flair with a spinning kick, then a Rolling Thunder and then a 5 Star Frog Splash and a cover for the win.

Backstage, Kane was beating the hell out of Hunter. They made it out to the parking area where Kane beat him even more and then tossed Hunter into the trunk of the car Hurricane had left there earlier. Kane informed Hunter that he was about to get screwed. Closed the trunk and then got in the car and started driving off. The only thing was, the trunk swung open as he pulled away.

Hunter quickly made his way back to his dressing room and burst through the door. Evie was in the middle of putting her laptop away and almost dropped it. A couple of seconds later, Ric stumbled through the doorway.

"We gotta get outta here before Kane figures out that I'm not in the trunk," Hunter said breathlessly.

Swiftly they gathered up everything and ran to the limo that was waiting. Thirty seconds later, they were all on their way back to their hotel.

"That was close," Hunter said as he stretched his legs out.

"How did you get out of there?" Evie asked, feigning concern.

"Safety button."

"Looks like you had the last laugh H," interjected Flair.

Hunter and Ric chuckled at that. Evie said nothing. She looked down at her hands folded in her lap, a tiny smile on her lips. You won't be laughing next week, she thought with a touch of malicious glee.
