Chapter 3

Services? Eve Hall mused as she paced back and forth in the centre of her locker room, her long strides making it from one wall to the other in only a few seconds. Services? She thought again. How dare he offer her his services, she didn't need his help or anyone else's, she never did so why should she start now? It made her angry just to think that someone would offer her help, but it made her furious to realise that it was a nice gesture that she actually appreciated. Damn it, she needed time to think and an aspirin to get rid of the ache just now beginning to build inside her head. Her cell phone ringing was by far the last thing she wanted to hear, but it rang anyway. Ready to rudely hang up on the offender she stalked over to her bag and grabbed it out, looking at the name of the caller she sighed and bit back the nasty words already on her tongue. She lifted the phone and pushed the button to answer.

"Hi Dad." She said nicely enough. "What's up?"

"Just making sure everything went as planned." Was the response. "You got in fine? Everything going as planned? Anyone confront you?"

"Yes, yes and yes." She barely suppressed a sigh as she sat down lightly on the uncomfortable sofa set to the back wall of her locker room.

"Someone approached you?" He asked, worry just little evident in his voice and went unnoticed by his daughter. "Who?"

"Triple H, he was friendly, nothing to worry about, I doubt he suspects anything, in fact he said he spoke to you, is he in on it as well?" Eve asked, hardly pausing for a breath.

"No, he's main target number one, him and evolution." Scott replied. "It's time for us to teach the ungrateful student another lesson."

"Are you trying to tell me that you expect me to take out Hunter?" She replied, astonished at the thought. "Why? He's one of your best friends."

"As I said, he's ungrateful for what Kev and I did for him, so he's got to learn." He shrugged on the other end of the line. "Besides, as long as he's the champion and holds Evolution in his pocket, bringing him down will be a huge success on our part and will start the crumbling of the WWE."

"I can't-" Eve started but bit back her words and took a deep breath, that minor ache in her head was getting larger and more painful by the second. "I got to go, I got to prepare." She lied.

"Yeah, I understand." The phone was hung up on the Florida side.

"Couldn't even say goodbye?" She muttered at the phone as she not only hung up but turned it off, not wanting to receive anymore unwanted calls or disturbances, but luck was not on her side tonight as the door opened and a cheerful Shawn Michaels strolled in.

"Eve, great to see you again, how've you been?" Shawn asked.

"Fine." She muttered. "But I'm getting tired of all you clique members dropping by, in or a line." She glared up at him. "Besides, don't you knock?"

Shawn's eyes widened a little. "What's going on? Is there a problem?"

A huge problem, she wanted to scream but merely sighed, shrugged and let her face go emotionless.

"Anyway," He said, taking a seat next to her on the sofa. "I got some news to spread."

"So spread it." Eve told him.

"Alexis is going to show up next week. Tonight after your match it'll be time to announce the future of the WWE to all involved and introduce the third member." Shawn told her.

"Alexis?" She asked, feeling very uninterested.

"Next week, she's the fourth." Shawn replied.

Eve yawned. "Just get on with it Shawn, who's the third then? I don't have all day to listen to you try to build up my interests, I have people to push off mountains and try to get my mind around a recent phone call from my father, so unless you plan to tell me right now who it is, I suggest you go get ready for your own match."

"Push off mountains?" Shawn repeated, puzzled.

Eve sent him the dangerous look of her fathers again.

"Alright, alright, the third member is…" He hesitated. "You'll see tonight."

"Damn it, Shawn." She swore. "Get the hell out then, I don't want to listen to you go on unless you feel like letting me in on your little secret, if not, then screw off."

Shawn shook his head. "Eve we have to work together."

"I'm not the one being uncooperative and withholding information may I remind you, Shawn, you are." Eve told him. "Now leave."

"Fine, meet me backstage before your match and we'll discuss this farther." He got to his feet and walked towards and out the door.

"The hell I'm going to meet you before my match." She muttered at the door. "You can go plan things for your own match, leave mine untouched."

"What'd you do to Shawn?" She heard before seeing as the little man with long messy black hair held back by a bandana from little beady eyes entered the room.

Eve's eyes opened wide as she saw him. "Sean!" She cried, jumping off the couch to hug the man once known as X-Pac.

"Hey babe." He said as she released him. "What'd you do to Shawn?"

"What are you doing here?" She asked, ignoring his question.

"I was invited. What'd you do to Shawn?" He asked again.

"Who invited you?" Still ignoring his question.

"Vince, I got myself re-hired, Scott and Kev clued me in to some interesting stuff going down so I thought I'd try to get myself back on track and in on the fun." He smirked. "Now, what'd you do to Shawn?"

"You're the third person then tonight?" She was starting to get happier about what was in store for her later tonight.

"Yep, and if you ask me another question I'm going to knock you cold, you don't answer mine and I'm still going to knock you cold." He told her, amusement evident. "Now, listen carefully, what did you do to Shawn?" He spaced the words out for emphasise.

Eve rolled her eyes. "He's acting like a baby, he refuses to let me in on any of the plans he discussed with my father even though I'm supposed to co-run this faction with him. I didn't even know you were going to be here."

"Yeah, but aren't surprises more fun?" he grinned from ear to ear.

"Only when you're the surprise." She hugged him again. "Now that you're here, I might actually be able to put up with Shawn, but that's not definite, I may have to end up knocking him around."

"And how do you know I'll let you do that?" Sean asked her.

"Cause I'll let you help." She replied and laughed.
