Lilly and Sam hang out for a little while after the show and take in all the people and sights around them, plus they wanted to let the mad rush of the crowd die down before they made their way out of the building. Sam was also trying to convince Lilly that they should try to talk their way backstage.
"Come on Lill! It's your chance to meet the Undertaker! I know I could get us back there. Let me try!"
"Not tonight Sam maybe another night. I'm really tired and would like to get back to the hotel." Lilly says getting up from her seat and gathering her things.
"All right. We'll go." Samantha says visibly sulking.
Just as Samantha and Lilly got up from their seats to head for the exit, someone wearing a shirt that read security across the front approached them. "Excuse me ladies. My name is Jim. Would you please come with me."
Samantha and Lilly both turn around and realize that the security guard is talking to them. They look at each other for what seemed like forever but in reality was only a few seconds. Finally Samantha spoke up. "Is there a problem?"
"Uh no ma'am there's no problem, I was just asked to escort you to the backstage area." Jim assured them.
Samantha and Lilly were both intrigued by this and curious to see who asked for them to be brought backstage, and where it would lead. They gather their things and head backstage with Jim. They follow Jim through the maze of equipment and people trying not to get run over by anyone. To see everything going on backstage—all of the equipment and people, it was intimidating. It was amazing to see what it took to put on one show.
Mark showered and changed in record time. He sat down in the dressing room to nervously wait for the security guard to bring the women back. Setting alone in his dressing room just waiting, Mark began to wonder if he was doing the right thing. 'Am I crazy? I just got out of one bad relationship, and here I am already chasing after some mystery woman. That's just asking for trouble. I have to come up with plan B in case this woman was some kind of whack job.'
After thinking a moment, Mark decided if the woman made him uncomfortable after meeting her, he would just give her a few souvenirs and help her get some autographs and send her on her way. WWE security was well trained at keeping the psychos at bay. Unfortunately, he had been forced to take advantage of this skill more than once.
Suddenly, Mark realized that he did not know what to do about the other woman. He certainly did not want to entertain the other one. He wanted to spend his time getting to know his mystery woman without interruption from a third party. Glenn left immediately after the match for vacation or he would just convince him to keep the other woman out of the way for a while. Who else could he enlist? Before he could think of an answer, there was a knock at his door.
Opening the door, Mark finds Dave Batista and Ric Flair standing on the other side. Ric speaks up first
"Hey big man, I heard about a great steak house near here that I was told that was a must try. A group of us are going to head over there in a few minutes. I wanted to see if you wanted to come along."
Mark looked over Ric's shoulder down the hall. He knew that the women would be there any minute. He figured it would be best if he met them alone and then introduced them to everyone else after he made sure that they weren't psycho.
Mark shook his head, "No Ric. I kind of made other plans. I'll have to pass this time."
"Ok man. We won't be leaving for another 20 minutes if you change your mind." Ric says already moving to leave.
"Ok. Catch you guys later." Mark says as he closes the door.
Just as Mark turns to take a seat, there is another knock at the door. He opens it and comes face to face with his mystery woman and her friend.
Jim the security guard had escorted Samantha and Lilly to this door and mysteriously stated that the person who had requested their presence was behind this door. He then walked away leaving the two women standing in front of the door. Sam looked at Lilly and shrugged.
"Well, let's see what's hidden behind door number one. Who's going to do the honors? You or me?"
Lilly felt a strange kind of excitement standing there in front of the door that currently shielded such mystery. She was afraid, excited and exhilarated at the same time. She took a deep breath and said "I will" as she raised her fist to knock. She only had to knock a couple of times before the door was opened. Lilly couldn't believe who was standing before her. Her whole body froze. She was unable to move or speak.
