Chapter 2- The unspoken warning
Kane was in a hurry.
There felt something amiss in the locker room, a sensation he never felt before. However, he couldn't ignore it. Every so often he would pause and question the superstars if they felt something was different or off about the day. No one could answer him. Instead, they only stared at him oddly and went on their way. It was enough to make him loosen the tie around his neck. He began to sweat oddly. It wasn't natural for him to be this uptight, especially since there was no show today. Kane was about to walk into the office when he heard Stephanie and Triple H on the other side. He cracked open the door when their voices altered. "He's almost ready with it. The moment he activates the lantern, we strike!" said Hunter.
Kane froze for a moment. "Lantern?" he said to himself.
He walked into the room and found the conversation came to a complete stop. Hunter and Stephanie were quick to try and look natural, however he realized they knew he heard something. The looks on their faces aimed towards the floor and not at him. His head tilted to the side. "Did I hear you right? You are speaking about taking a lantern? If I am not mistaken, only one superstar in this locker room has one…"
"Kane, relax, it's not what it seems." Said Hunter. He finally looked him in the eyes and gave him one of those confident smiles. "You see we have a bit of a deal going on with Bray Wyatt. We could use some extra muscle if you know what I mean when we complete the transaction. Just to be certain it goes smoothly."
Kane wasn't certain to what Hunter talked about. "You never mentioned anything to me about this deal. What's it about? For what services? We have done well with Bray Wyatt as he gotten Dean Ambrose for us, what more is there?"
"Kane, it's nothing to worry about." Said Stephanie. "We are just doing what is best for business."
"I am having a hard time understanding when I haven't been told what it is that you are doing. I know something is wrong, I can feel it in the air. It's not natural." He said.
He caught a look Hunter and Stephanie exchanged between each other. "You made another deal with him, a supernatural one, didn't you?"
"Now Kane, you need to hear me out." Said Hunter.
"No, no I don't. Hunter, you of all people should know I am the one you talk to when it comes to supernatural deals. My brother is the goddamn Undertaker!" he said rather angrily. "You don't go making deals with Bray Wyatt, no matter how good the promise is!"
"It's already been done Kane, we are just waiting for him to deliver his part." Said Stephanie.
"So be it, I will not be there when you decide to make this arrangement. I want nothing to do with it." Kane turned to leave, however he paused and turned enough to project his voice. "One more thing. Don't you dare drag me into this, and never say I didn't warn you!"
He slammed the door behind him, not before taking a deep, cleansing breath. He needed some fresh air and fast, better still, he needed to call someone up for advice.
Whatever he was feeling, wasn't going away.
Something will happen if it isn't stopped.
