Kane walked as fast as he could without drawing undue attention to himself until he hit the hallway that lead to the parking area. Then he flat out ran.

When he came up to the cars he stopped, scanning the spots. There were Lita's jeep, the Trans Am, and his truck all in a line off at the other end of the level. There was a shape on his hood, a female shape sitting, ankles crossed, and leaning against his windshield.

Kane was taken aback. She waited for him after all. The big man swallowed hard and walked calmly over to his truck.

"Hope you don't mind." Robin said gesturing to her position. "I figured I couldn't miss you from here. I'd have sat in the truck but it was locked."

"No, it's okay. I…uh…went over to the locker room but Lita said you were already gone." He was as red as her hair under the mask. "Glad I caught you though." She smiled at him and his stomach dropped.

Robin glanced from side to side forlornly. "Um, seems it was easier getting up here…" She giggled. His mask hiding a grin, he stepped up and lifted her off the hood.

"Thanks." She breathed against the exposed curve of his jaw as he set her down on the ground, forgetting to remove his hands from her hips.

Kane shivered slightly at the feel of her so close to him, to his face even if there was a quarter inch of leather between them. "Uh, no problem." Now Kane glanced away. "So what was so important?" He asked making eye contact for the first time.

"I wanted to fill you in a bit on what I was told…" She started nearly breathless staring into his hazel eyes. "Uh, about the story line…." Kane nodded slowly starting at her lovely green eyes. Only vaguely did he realize that her eyes were no longer red and the fact makes him smile. "Kane, Vince wants us… Well, he wants me to become your girlfriend." She broke away from the hold of his eyes. "…in the story line anyway." She whispered and closed her eyes. My God, was she swooning?

"Girlfriend? Vince wants me to have a girlfriend?" Kane couldn't believe his luck! "I guess Vince wants to punish me." Kane mused still smiling an ear to ear smile she couldn't see.

"Punish you?" Robin said suddenly horrified and pulled away from his grasp. "You mean Mr. Mc Mahon is using me to punish you?"

"Probably but that doesn't matter…" Kane tried to reassure her.

"How can it not matter? The only reason I was give a chance was to punish you." Robin said, her voice getting thick with emotion. She pushed past Kane heading for her car.

For a moment, Kane watched her go, unable to move from the spot. Just a moment ago, she was in his arms, inches from his face, now she was going away.

"No…Wait…" He said finally springing to life and inserting himself between Robin and her car. "Don't leave yet. I guess we've got to figure this out." He said tentatively reaching out and touching her hair.

Robin sighed and fell into him. Kane is shocked and just lets her lean on him, stroking her hair.

"If Vince is using me to punish you, what's to prevent him from just getting rid of me when he gets tired of harassing you?" Her voice was shaking at the thought of losing everything she'd worked so hard for.

Kane protectively wrapped his big arms around her. "He can't get rid of you that easily. You signed a contract, legally binding right?" Robin nodded against his chest.
Suddenly Robin's head shot up.

"Kane, I think I've got it…" She smiled and impulsively leaned up kissing him on the mask. "We've got to make this scenario work!" She danced out of his arms and spun around. "If we can make this popular, Vince can't do anything. His "punishment" for you…" She said making little quotes with her fingers, "…will be void if the fans like what we do and I'll keep my job." She turned back to see Kane, standing dumbly, staring at her. "Kane? Is something wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Robin said her brow crinkled in dismay.

"Why did you kiss me?" He whispered.

"I'm sorry… I… I…shouldn't have. You barely know me…" Robin stammered cursing her impulsiveness. Kane shook his head trying to tell her he didn't mind but no words would come out. Meanwhile, Robin continued to babble apologies.

Finally Kane scooped her up in his arms wanting so badly to kiss her but unwilling to remove the mask. Robin sighed and put her arms around the big man's neck, pressing her face into his shoulder smiling.

"Don't…Don't apologize. I didn't mind." Kane finally managed to whisper into her neck. Robin smiled and kissed the muscled shoulder beneath her face.

"Oh my God Kane, I don't know what's gotten into me. I'm so sorry." She sighed. "I just feel so comfortable with you. It was… natural to me." Kane chuckled and she felt it rumble deep in his chest.

"I've got an idea." He said placing her back on her feet and picking up her chin so he can see her beautiful eyes. "Lets get out of here… We'll go somewhere we can actually talk."

"Like where?" She asked perplexed.

"I dunno, like a restaurant or something?" He said sarcastically. "…Although, to be honest, I should go feed my dogs first. You can follow me to my house if you want, and then we'll decide where to go from there." Robin nodded.

"Kane, I don't know why but, I trust you." Robin sighs suddenly very serious. He traced the soft line of her jaw in response.

"Did you want to follow me or leave your car here?" He asked hoping she would come with him.

"I don't really know my way around this area. Mind if I ride with you?"
Kane fished in his pocket and pulls out his keys.

"Let's go." He smiled and his mask lifted gently with it. Robin laughed and accepted his hand as he helped her into the truck.

"First in last out." Lita said to herself as she walks through the empty corridors toward the garage.

She was sore but happy. At great effort she managed to obtain the number one contenders spot from Jazz, and her new friend Robin had made an explosive entrance onto the roster.

She smiled at that. After she interfered with Kane's match, she was all anyone could talk about.

"Good going kid!" She thought as she emerged into the parking area.

Lita walked over and unlocked her jeep. Looking up she can't help but admire Robin's car again…Wait…Robin's Car? What was Robin's car doing there? She must've left an hour ago.

Lita surveyed the parking lot again. Nothing left but her jeep, the Trans Am, and the roving security car. Even Kane's truck was gone.

"Okay…" Lita said smiling as it all came together. Kane's truck was gone, Robin's car was here… Lita laughed to herself.

"Guess he wasn't that mad after all…" She said tossing her ring gear into the back seat and hopped up starting the jeep, heading for home.
