Disclaimer: I do not own the wrestler's and the McMahon's in this story,
they do own themselves last I checked. I do not wish to get sued plus even
if I did, I don't have anything of value, so go ahead then make my day.
Summary: A shocking murder hits the world of wrestling, and it's up to two different cops, partners in the homicide division to find out who did it and make them pay. But will one of them lose their heart along with the investigation?
A/N: Thank you all for the reviews on this story, it means a lot because this is my new baby, and I hope I don't screw it up. I'm not a good writer in terms of writing suspense and murder type stories, but I'm learning because life is about more then romance right? LOL Well maybe it's not but it's a good thought none the less. So thank you all for taking the time to do it, and here is the next chapter.
************************************************
As Dave stepped into the office, he was immediately hit with how important and powerful this family was, and how it was even more important that they find out who murdered the lady.
"Thank you for seeing me on such short notice Ms. McMahon. I know you must be grieving."
"Call me Stephanie and yes I am, but the want to find who killed my mother is stronger then my grief at this point."
As she spoke Dave couldn't help but notice the tears that had been shed that were now dried to her cheeks. There was no way that she could have done this.
"Well we have the same want in this case then Stephanie. I just have a few routine questions I need to ask of you and then I will get out of your space."
"I'll answer anything."
"Where were you last night between the times of 9 PM and 12 AM?"
"I was breaking off an engagement with my longtime boyfriend. He is the wrestler Triple H."
"His real name?"
"Paul Levesque."
Dave couldn't believe how open and forthcoming she was with the information. He knew she had probably figured he would ask her about her whereabouts but he had no idea that she would be so open about something so intimate and personal.
"And he will confirm this if we need to ask for any reason?"
"Yes he will because he's already bragging about how single and unattached he is right now."
"Well there are assholes everywhere Stephanie. He must not understand what he stands to lose by breaking things off with you."
"Why detective, were you showering me with a compliment?" Stephanie questioned, surprised that he was saying what she had been thinking since she had broken things off.
"You take it however makes the most impact." Flipping open his notebook, he took down the notes of her alibi, and prepared himself to write more.
"Did your mother have any altercations with anyone in recent weeks that may lead us to the murderer?"
"I know this might sound like an excuse but in our business we deal with a lot of irate people. When we turn someone away as a potential wrestler, we make enemies. My mother on the other hand was one lady who never got treated badly."
"So no one comes to mind?"
"Actually yes someone does come to mind. My father is the only person that has fought with my mother in recent weeks."
"Not a happy marriage?"
Stephanie laughed at the mere mention of a happy marriage and took her seat behind the desk, focusing her attention solely on the detective.
"My father has Paul's logic so no it was not a happy marriage. After speaking with me a few weeks ago she was ready to call it quits."
"She was ready for divorce you mean?"
"Yes why? What would you call it Detective?"
"I call it premeditated murder."
"You want to know the funny thing detective?" Stephanie asked, with agreement showing in her eyes.
"Call me Dave, and what's the funny thing?"
"I agree with you completely. Is someone checking out my father for this?"
"Yes we have someone speaking to your father. My partner Bret is doing that probably as we speak." Dave looked down at his gold rolodex for a silent confirmation.
"Is it alright with you and your partner if you take down my number and that way if you have more questions you can call me?"
Dave smiled openly. He knew there was a reason he had his notebook open and it looked like he just found it.
"Yes that would be fine. Just one more question Stephanie and I'll be on my way."
"Sure what is it?"
"When was the last time that you saw your mother alive?"
Stephanie sat silent for a few moments, going over in her mind when she had last seen her mother alive and breathing, and then it finally came to her.
"One week and one day ago. It was at my show Smack Down's Pay per View. She was actually in my corner when I faced my father."
"Who won?"
"My father won."
Dave noticed how quiet and withdrawn she got when having to think about it and decided not to press her any further right now.
"One more question Stephanie."
"Okay, shoot."
"Who was in your father's corner if Linda was in yours?"
"Rena "Sable" Mero. Come to think of it, you might want to speak with her too."
"Will do, and again thank you for your time Ms. McMahon."
Scribbling some last minute notes in his book and accepting her business card and offer to call at any time Dave stood and exited the office swiftly. He only hoped that Bret had the same hunch from his interview as he had from this one.

A/N2: that chapter was a little longer in terms of everything because I wanted to let this chapter stand on its own. It's a set up chapter for future things that will happen so I had to do it on its own. So read and review like always and I will see you back here soon for an update to this one.
