I was about to walk into the courtroom when I noticed Athena wasn't around. I know she was here earlier. I wonder where she is. I looked over to where Uncle Eddy was. He was standing near the Defense table talking to Erichson. I saw Bret was already seated but I still didn't see Athena.

"Daniel." I turned around hearing my mother's voice. She was standing there along with Tatem.

"Hey. What are you guys doing here?" I asked. I figured they would both be at work or mom at the hospital with Trevor.

"We thought we'd watch the trial." Tatem said. "I don't think I'll have a chance to be here between work and Misha. I took this morning off so I have the day off." She works mornings.

"And I took the whole week off from work." Mom said. "I want to testify Friday." I think that's good. I don't know the whole schedule of who is being called except I'm testifying Thursday.

Chavo coming in caught my eye as hurried over to Bret and said something to him. Bret ran out of the courtroom. My curiosity got to me so I followed him. I had a feeling mom and Tatem would follow me out of the courtroom.

When I caught up with him I found him kneeling on the floor outside where the restrooms were. I saw Athena's bodyguard trying to restrain a large woman. Now I saw what Bret had been leaning over.

Athena's face was bleeding and she looked to be unconscious. "What happened?" I asked.

"I heard glass breaking. I went in to make sure Ms. Hart was all right and found this woman standing over her with a lead pipe."

Bret looked at her. "Carrying out Vince's dirty work? First you attack Danny Benoit in his hotel room and now you go after my niece in the bathroom?" I'm sure if Alex wasn't holding him back he'd have attacked her.

"You guys didn't get the earlier messages. Stephanie wanted me to hand deliver this one to Athena. Head the warnings Bret or something bad could happen to them." She turned and glared at me before she was led away by cops.

"Don't you dare go near my son!" Mom said getting in her face. Obviously she had followed me out of the courtroom.

The woman laughed. "A bit late for that Nancy."

Mom looked like she was going to lunge at her but Everett grabbed her arm slightly. "Tell your husband and his friends to stay away from my son." Mom said trying to shake Everett's hand off.

"Whatever you say Nancy." She said as she was led away by the cops. She turned and looked at Athena one more time before she was led out of sight.

"I'm sorry Mr. Hart. She had jumped her in the bathroom." Alex said.

"It was our fault for not thinking about the chance they could jump her in the bathroom." Bret said picking her up gently. "I'll stay with her. See if you can get an ambulance." He said.

Tatem turned to me. "What's going on Danny? What did she mean it's a little late for that?"

"I don't even know who she is." I said though the voice sounded vaguely familiar but I have no idea why.

"That's Joanie Waltman. Sean Waltman's wife. I don't know her other then she did an angle with Eddy." She said disgust evident in her voice. "From what your dad said she was a nasty woman to be around. I think she dated Hunter Hearst Helmsley."

"Sounds about right. Hello Nancy." We turned around to see dad standing there. "Hi Tatem." He said. "When do I get to see your little girl?"

"Soon. Tonight if it's okay. Um." She looked uncomfortable. "Is she going to be okay?" She asked pointing at the medics who were attending to Athena.

"I think so. Head injuries bleed more." Dad said. "So you guys here to watch the trial?"

"Yes. I want to testify Friday." Mom said. This was the calmest I've seen my parents since I tried to reunite them. Usually mom is yelling at dad. I wonder if Jason told mom about their conversation.

"That's fine. You mind if I talk to Danny?" Dad asked.

Mom shrugged before she and Tatem left.

"You aren't going to tell me I have to leave are you?" I asked thinking about yesterday.

"No. I wanted to make sure you're okay. I had just gotten to the trial when Eddy said Athena was attacked. Are you okay?" Dad asked looking at me up and down.

"I'm fine." I said trying to reassure him. "They attacked Athena." Dad nodded. "Who's Joanie Waltman?"

"Like your mother said she's married to Sean Waltman. She's also one of the people that attacked you in your hotel room." That's why I had recognized her voice! She was the one who ordered them to stop. "She also used to date Triple H. Rumor mill at the time was Helmsley had cheated on her with Stephanie McMahon. Life seemed to imitate art so to speak. How they manage to all stay friends is rather amusing. Unexplainable but amusing. We don't know if she helped commit any of the crimes other then get Stacey Lawler fired."

"Chris? Danny?" we looked up to see Chavo standing there. "The trial's about to start." We followed him into the courtroom.
