"Tony's looking for you." A backstage person said.
"Time limits SUCK!" Jon yelled throwing a chair down the hall way. As he barreled into Tony's office slamming the door. The camera focusing on Tony's office door.
"Hey Jon I'm sorry to bother you, I just wanted to tell you that your match with Kenny at Full Gear, given all the problems we've had with you guys breaking out all the violent incidents. Like what happened at Double or Nothing. And what happened on our first episode with the glass table. We can't sanction this match. We can't be liable. We can't be responsible for what you guys do. We have to make this an unsanctioned lights- out match." Tony stated.
"Huh? What? I don't understand what you're saying..." Jon responded.
"You're the purveyor of violence …." Tony said.
"You're saying it doesn't count?"
"Yeah technically it wont count against your win -loss record. It's gonna be a great match but we can't be responsible for what happens. We have to make it a lights -out match. We can't sanction this."
"You've gotta be FUCKING KIDDING ME MAN!" Jon yelled.
"I thought you'd be excited …."
"SHUT UP! Shut up. Win over Kenny Omega? I've been working for this. I've been working for this for months. Ever since I showed up here. I had the balls to go after the top-guy. YOUR BOY. And now you say it doesn't count. Your gonna make me a freak show. You're gonna put me in a little box. You're gonna treat me like everybody else treats me?"
"It's gonna be a huge match." Tony tried to say but Moxley wasn't having any of it.
"You don't want me to have a win over your boy? You wont sanction me? I'm UNSANCATIONABLE? What happens to Kenny Omega IS NOW ON YOUR HANDS, ALRIGHT? HIS ASS IS ON THE LINE BECAUSE OF YOU!" Jon stated as he stormed out of the Tony's office and pushed over the camera man.
Two Days Later.
Karen had been tossing and turning all night. She couldn't get comfortable or get to sleep. So many things were going through her mind. She worried about Jon's up coming match against Kenny and Ethan's words ringing in her head. She laid their and watched her husband sleeping. She knew what she had to do to keep him and their son safe. As she glanced at the time and it was almost 9 am.
"I love you Jonathon you have my heart." She whispered before kissing him softly.
She got out of bed and went to check on Jagger who was sound asleep in his crib.
"I love you so much Jagger. You are the best thing to ever happen to me and your dad. I will do what I have to to keep you both safe." She told him as she leaned down and kissed a sleeping toddler.
Karen grabbed her phone and walked out on to the back patio as the morning sun was shining over the Nevada sky. She took a deep breath and called Liam's number. It rang several times before someone on the other end answered.
"Good choice sweet heart." Ethan said.
"What did you want to talk about?" Karen stated.
"Not on the phone. Meet me at the address I text you when your on your way."
"I am not meeting you." She said.
"You will meet me or the man you call your husband …."
"STOP! Don't you fucking dare talk about my husband. Do you here me. He has nothing to do with this." Karen growled into the phone.
"Then get in your car and drive I will send you a text message on where to meet me." Ethan said before hanging up the phone.
"Damn it." Karen said to herself as she went back into the house.
It was a little after 9 am and she knew that Jagger would be getting up soon. Karen grabbed her purse and keys jotted down a note put it on the counter and headed out the door. She got in her car backed out of the drive way and started driving down their Henderson street when she got to the end of the road she didn't know which way to turn. So she turned right like she was heading to the store.
"mmm babe?" Jon grumbled still half asleep reaching over for his wife feeling that side of the bed empty. "Karen?" He asked opening his eyes. He slowly sat up as his eyes adjusted to the morning sun light. He glanced at the baby monitor that was now on his side of the bed. Jagger was still sleeping. So Jon got up and headed to the bathroom. "Babe what got into you last night? I am loving these pregnancy hormones." Jon chuckled as his smile faded when he realized the bathroom was empty. He tossed on some gym shorts. Then headed down the stairs.
"Karen? Where are you?" He called coming down their stairs looking in the living room and then the kitchen. He opened the door to the garage/gym. "Where the fuck are you?" He said to himself as he then opened the garage door and noticed her silver chevy equinox was gone. "What the fuck!" He growled going back inside and slamming the door. Jon grabbed his phone then came back into the kitchen when he noticed the note on the counter.
"Hey Lover, Ran to the store to grab a few things. I love you."
Jon shook her head. He told her yesterday they would go to the store together. When he heard Jagger from his room.
"Dadddy! Me out! Me wakie now!" Jagger whined from his crib.
"Hey little man!" Jon smiled walking into his sons room. Seeing Jagger standing in his crib.
"Me out" Jagger whined lifting his hands up in the air.
"You want out huh?" Jon smiled lifting his son out of his crib. "Let's get that diaper changed." Jon smiled as Jagger was standing in his room stretching and grumbling messing hair and all looking just like his dad.
Karen looked around as she pulled into the parking lot of this little Hotel several blocks from the Vegas strip. She got out of her car. When she reached room 204 which was the number that was text to her she took a deep breathe before knocking.
"Glad you made it sweet heart." Ethan said as he opened the door and let her.
Karen walked in the room and noticed Ethan, her brother Walker and Lane standing there in their nice suit jackets.
"Where is Liam?" Karen asked.
"Not even a Hello to your husband or family?" Ethan asked.
"Hello Ethan. Hello Walker, Lane." Karen said. "Now Liam where is he?"
"He's fine." Ethan said. "But first order of business you have is you need to change. You will not be wearing the clothes of the heathen world." He said referring to her capris pants and tank top. "Also wash your face. You know better than to wear that too." Talking about the make up on her face.
"Ethan I am not changing this is who I am now." Karen scoffed.
"You will change! The order has rules and you will obey them in our presences understand." Ethan stated as he pushed her up against the wall holding her there.
"Fine." Karen said not wanting to give in to him but not wanting to get herself or her unborn baby hurt. She went into the bathroom where an old fashioned long sleeve long dress was hanging. Memories of her past came flooding back to her. She washed her face put on the dress. As she glanced in the mirror the dress was fitting snug on her belly. She opened no one would notice. She then pulled her hair back in a classic french braid.
"Much better sweet heart." Ethan said coming into the bathroom when she was finishing up her hair. He gently touched her arm as Karen tensed up.
"Relax sweet heart." Ethan said kissing her cheek as she moved away which just made him chuckle.
"Will you tell me what you want now?" Karen asked coming out of the bathroom. Her brother Walker and Lane still standing there.
"Father wants you back in Utah." Walker stated.
"You're not seriously thinking I am going back to that hell are you?" Karen said.
"Watch your mouth!" Ethan said. "The outside world has turned you against your way of life. It's turned you into a non believer. It made you give yourself to another man that wasn't your husband."
"Jon is my husband. He's more of a husband than you will ever be!"
"You only marry once. In the eyes of the Lord you are my wife." Ethan said.
"I am not going back to Utah. I have a life here. So what is it that your really want? Is it money? My husband and I have money. I have money. I can give you as much as you need. Just please don't hurt my family." Karen begged.
"HE is not your family. I am your husband. You obey me!" Ethan growled as he smacked Karen across the face. "Look at what you're making me do to you."
Jon was feeding Jagger some breakfast as he was sitting in his high chair shirtless eating his fruit and yogurt.
"Momma?" He asked.
"Mom should be home soon little man." Jon said.
He looked at the time it was now almost 11 am. Something didn't feel right to him. Where was his wife. He got out his phone and called her it range a few times but went to voice mail.
"Fuck." He growled dialing another number. "Hey it' Mox! I know I said I wouldn't need you today but I need a favor." Jon said to the security guys he hired from LA.
"Sure of course Mr. Moxley we are in Las Vegas to serve you in any way we can." Ridge the head of the security team said.
"Thanks. My wife left this morning to go to the store. I am not sure what time but she should be back by now. I need two of the guys to go to the store and make sure she is OK. Then follow her back home." Jon stated.
"Yes. I can do that. I will send the other team to watch your street." Ridge stated.
"Thanks. Let me know what you find. Until then I will keep trying her phone." He said.
Karen's purse kept vibrating on the table.
"So it's not money then what is it that you want from me?" Karen asked.
"You. What is that noise?" Ethan said looking around hearing Karen's phone once again.
"It's her phone. It's in her bag." Lane said.
"Deal with it." Ethan said looking at Lane.
Karen gave a glance over in Lane's direction. She remembered what Liam had told her but she didn't see him or any signs that he was in this room. Who could she trust. Lane grabbed her phone and read a few of the text messages as there were a few and then several voice mails. He then sent out a text
"What did you just send?" Karen asked.
Lance looked at Ethan who gave him a yes nod as he answered Karen.
"I just said you were fine not to worry." Lane answered.
Jon stood there in their kitchen reading the text message from his wife.
"I'm fine darling. Don't worry."
"What the fuck? Karen what did you do babe?" Jon said. He was worried about his wife something felt off this wasn't right.
"Get Liam we'll be leaving for Utah before night fall." Ethan stated looking over at Lane and Walker. Both men nodded at the older gentleman.
Karen slowly sat in the chair by the table.
"What did I do? What the hell did I just do?" Karen kept asking herself. She knew she needed to keep her family safe but at what cost. She couldn't go back to Utah she knew if she left Nevada she may never see Jon or her son again. All she knew for sure was that she had to get out of the mess she found herself in.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this story. You are all amazing so many many thanks.
I had a good question about Jagger's name. After re-reading the last Chapter I can see where there would be confusion. It was on Jagger's name and how is he named after Roman? Jagger's name is Jagger Joseph named after Joe. I realized that I am using character names for this story. Roman's name in the story is Roman Joseph Reigns. So Jagger's middle name is Roman's middle name. I took a liberty with that since we all know his real name is Joe and Roman doesn't have a middle name. I hope this makes sense moving forward. Again so sorry for any confusion this caused.
