Chapter 2- Crime and Punishment.

Kane spent the better part of the day trying to figure out what he was going to do. He reached the office and found Stephanie and Triple H talking on their phones. He waited patiently for them to finish, until it grew too long for even him to bear. Hunter was the last to get off his phone, it only happened when Kane reached out and hung up for him. Hunter was taken back. "I don't think that was smart." Said Hunter.

"No, and attacking Miss Lee was?" said Kane.

Hunter and Stephanie suddenly looked interested in what he had to say. "Are you saying she has been taken out?"

"Yes, the Wyatts did her in. Question is, why? She didn't threaten them!"

Hunter suddenly turned to Stephanie and she turned to him. The two smiled as they couldn't be happier with the news. "I didn't think it would work! Those three did well!"

"So you were behind it all?" asked Kane.

"Well, how else would we keep her out of our business? From what we know, she is knocked out. When we go back to the states she has to be medically cleared to travel, biding us more time. It is perfect!" said Hunter.

"I don't think it is." Muttered Kane.

"Excuse me?" said Stephanie. "Are you questioning our methods Kane?"

"Let's say I have a good idea as to what will happen if the Wyatts aren't punished for their attack." Kane looked to Hunter and Stephanie. "The way I see it, we just opened Pandora's box. I have been informed there are now four of her creations out and about now… they aren't happy."

"Have you seen them?" asked Hunter.

"No" said Kane. "But I have been made aware of them, and one is within the locker room. Taking possession of a superstar. As to who, I don't know. But things are about to get worst before they get better."

He waited for a response from Stephanie or Hunter, Stephanie turned to her husband with a look Kane knew too well. Long before he joined the authority, Kane picked up on people's facial expression. The one on her face was 'you deal with it' and walked away. Kane stood with Triple H who gave a sigh and turned to Kane with a smile. "I think they are just messing with you Kane. Look at things this way, how can that freak do anything without Miss Lee around. She ordered him to do things right? With her unconscious, there no one telling him what he should be doing. So, with that being said, I say you go out there and do your job as Director of Operations."

In other words, 'Kane, I am ignoring everything you are telling me until it affects me directly.'

Kane only stared down at Triple H. He walked out without a word. When the door closed behind him, Kane looked up and saw Serpentine standing with his back to the wall. He only stared at him, Kane glared back at him and moved on.

He knew he couldn't say anything to Serpentine. The Authority has ears everywhere. Anyone would rat him out if he were seen speaking to the enemy. In his best interest, Kane needed to wait until Serpentine decided to strike.
