Chapter 4- The storyline.
Mr. McMahon told Kane of the storyline later that week, much to his shock. Kane liked the idea! "Miss. Lee seems to understand your character well. But then again, she is a fan of yours" Vince explained.
Kane smiled and nodded as the storyline kicked off a week later. It started out with the fact that Legacy had taken over Raw. Stephanie, Shane and Vince were out of the picture, which put the three men in charge. Whenever Orton was in the back, he seemingly passed Miss. Lee without taking much notice to her. All the while she was trying to ask him a question or talk to Randy to see if the McMahons were here.
In the middle of the show, she finally got his attention and questioned where Stephanie McMahon was. "What's it to you?" Randy demanded.
"We have business to speak of, it's important," she explained as she kept herself composed.
Rumor had it, Miss Lee was taking acting lessons for the past few months, and she had terrible stage fright and a nervous smile in large crowds. But so far she maintained herself.
Randy smiled to her and told a little white lie and said Stephanie was out in the ring, he was going to bring her to Miss McMahon. Shannon Lee smiled as she grabbed her briefcase and clenched it tightly. "What's that?"
"It's important documents," Miss. Lee announced.
The story was set up, after the commercial break. She was led down to the ring and followed closely by Legacy. She started to act nervous as Cody and Ted began to smile at her. When she got into the ring, Randy let her have it. "If you haven't noticed, this is MY SHOW" he announced proudly aloud. "And the business with Stephanie has been cancelled. I have nothing to do with you, nor will I ever have anything to do with such an ugly chick like yourself"
Miss. Lee was rather calm as she raised her hands in defeat. She got a mic and nodded to him. "Ok, fine, I get it. By the way, I've been called worst Orton in grade school" She turned to leave yet found Orton's boys were blocking her.
"Who said we were done with you yet!" Randy snatched the briefcase from her hands and smiled. "This is important to you huh?"
"Give that back! That stuff is my life! It's all my work!" she begged. She went as far as trying to snag back the case from his grasp, but a WWE version of keep away ensued.
She gave up the moment he passed it to Cody who passed it to Ted. She couldn't win. "Time to work on something else, get the hell out of my ring!" Orton yelled. "Or I will punt you in the head like all the others, let's see you work after that!"
She left reluctantly as she kept staring evilly to the three men in the ring, despite the fact she kept her sunglasses on. The fans knew she was pissed off.
As the night wore on, Legacy finally cracked open the breifcase. They expected to find something important inside, yet much to their shock and disappointment, it was comic books, novels and a thick stack of papers. "What the hell kind of life is this!" Cody demanded.
"A comic book geeks, come on boys this was a waste of time" As Legacy left the suitcase, the cameraman focused in on it. Just as a large, lingering shadow stood over it.
Later that night, Shannon was fuming mad in the hallway, she vented out on Jamie Noble and tried to explain how important her briefcase was. "If I find the bastards I will…." She turned and nearly came face to face with her missing luggage. She fell back onto the ground as Jamie took to the hills. Standing before her was Kane. He held the case in his hands and slowly approached her. Miss. Lee kept sliding across the ground fearfully until her back came to the wall. Kane slowly stalked her until he bend down and stared her in the eyes. "Miss. Lee…" he growled lowly. She nodded her head slowly to him. "Shannon Lee…" he said deeply. Much to both their shocks, the crowd was rip roaring in cheers! Apparently her book as been read by some people! Slowly, he brought the casing to her hands and waited for her to take it from him.
She did so carefully and cautiously, much to her shock. He released his grasp on it without uttering a word. Just as he stood up fully, she found the courage to speak. "Thank you Kane… but… why?" she asked. Her voice went meek at the last moment, cracking with fear.
Kane had turned to leave before pausing and turning back, once more he looked down at her before standing inches before her face. A crooked smile came over him for but a moment, yet his face turned stern just as quick. "I respect a person… who has as twisted of a mind as I do!" He walked away laughing aloud, leaving Miss. Lee alone.
"Cut!" called the cameraman.
Kane came back and helped her off the ground. "Not bad" he said to her. "You need a little more work on your fear"
"I know, I was trying not to smile the whole time" she confessed.
It wasn't long before Cody and Ted came to see her. "Can we see the comic books?" Cody questioned.
"Yeah, you got the rare ones! The ones hand drawn by the French artist, Alexandre Tuis I think is name is?"
"It is…" She reached into her briefcase and pulled out some of the comics. She passed them off to the boys of Legacy as they went on their merry way, Kane was nearly tempted to ask. It's one thing to read about it, yet to visually see it in such art form was another. She noticed his curious look and passed Kane a comic, just as his eyes caught the book.
"What's that?" he asked.
"No, no. That's for next week" she warned and walked away.
