As instructed, once she got a day off she was on a flight to Tampa. She would have preferred heading up to Syracuse to see Adam, Beth, and little Lyric; but Regal needed to have this conversation with her face-to-face, and she wanted the information he had to give her on Ambrose. She wanted to better understand him with hope that it would shed some light on why he was infatuated with her. She also needed to be as far away from Seth as she possibly could. He was acting all pissy and she knew it was her fault, so she didn't want to deal with it. Things were easier when she just ran from her problems until she felt like she was ready to deal with the consequences.

"Ah, Christopher, right on time." Regal greeted and CJ grimaced at the use of her first name.

"CJ, please. I appreciate the formality, but you know I hate my name."

"It's definitely unique for a woman, but you play it off well." He complimented and CJ shrugged as she shook his hand. "So, you want to know about Ambrose?"

"I just want to know why he might be so...infatuated with me." She explained as Regal led her to his office and he nodded in understanding.

"Has he said anything to you about this?"

"I asked him about it and all he said was that he was trying to protect me." CJ didn't miss the look that crossed the older man's face as she sat down. That face screamed 'oh shit', and that told her that Regal said something to Ambrose about her.

"I never took him as the 'knight in shining armor' type." Regal mused, propping his elbows on the table and lacing his fingers together to make a bridge.

"Me neither. What could I possibly need protecting from, Regal?" CJ asked and the Brit looked away from her knowing eyes momentarily.

"I haven't the foggiest idea, flower. But, lets not forget why you came. I can only really tell you what I know about him, but I doubt that'll do much to assist you in figuring out his infatuation." Regal stated, trying his best to doge the topic of the backstage dangers. He feared that she would be stubborn(another trait inherited from Chris) and push for answers. But instead the young woman only leaned back in her chair, crossing one denim clad leg over the other and clasping her hands together. Her full attention was on him, and he was briefly reminded of her father. Always eager to learn more.

"I'm all ears."

And so Regal started explaining everything he had learned about Ambrose to CJ, just like he had done when Ambrose came to him wanting to know more about her three months prior. He made sure to avoid telling her about the fact that Ambrose knew her life story; from her bad relationship with her father to her tendency to isolate herself due to an inferiority complex that pushes her to make herself feel superior. But Regal didn't leave out any pieces about Ambrose's story, either, and he could have sworn that CJ took notes of certain things.

"Don't exploit any of this, Christopher." He warned once he finished and CJ stood to shake his hand. "I know how you Jerichos can be."

"I just wanted understand him better, Regal. I have no intent to exploit his personal life. Thank you for your time, Regal."

"All you have to do is call, flower." Regal called as she left his office, waiting until the door shut behind her to pick up the phone on his desk.

"Hello?" Due to how groggy Ambrose sounded, he had just woken up and was probably hungover.

"Dean, how dense are you?"

"Wha-"

"Why would you tell her that shes in danger? The last thing she needs is paranoia on top of everything else that goes through her head."

"She deserves to know." Dean argued and Regal sighed loudly. "If she's in danger, shouldn't she know that all the big names are gunning for her? Not to mention Lesnar's return, and-"

"Dean, relax. She doesn't need to know more than she already does. We don't even know the full picture, so the best you can do is remain vigilant. Alright?"

"But-"

"Alright?" Regal asked again, informing Dean that he didn't have a choice but to agree with him. The sigh on the other end told him that Dean caught on, and didn't like it.

"Alright. Does she know that I know everything?"

"No, and you'll keep it that way." Regal decided not to mention that CJ knew everything about him now, explaining why to Ambrose would take too much time. "Get some rest and be safe in the ring."

Once he had hung up on the younger man, Regal leaned back in his chair and heaved a deep sigh. He was officially in the middle of two highly complicated people who could very well get violent, since neither liked to back down from a fight. He knew that CJ would gladly stand toe-to-toe with Dean and he knew that Dean would never hit a woman, but what if she provoked him to a point of no return? The Englishmen was certain that any bloodshed between the two would be on his hands, as well as if something happened because Dean was unable to protect her. CJ couldn't exactly protect herself if she didn't know who she needed to watch. But she was a grown woman and would be fine in he end.

"I'm getting too old for this."

A/N: I'm updating this now because I already had the chapter written, and my day is going to be consumed with getting things ready for the WrestleMaina party my roommate and I are throwing tomorrow and probably won't have time to update later on tonight. So I hope you all enjoy this update, and please review. A big thank you to Artistic Lullaby for reviewing. I really appreciate it.
