Chapter 11- The Authority pays.
Kane made his way back to the office, he stumbled in as Stephanie and Hunter were talking. At first, neither one of them knew what to say let alone expect. Yet Kane tried to recompose himself. "I… wish to apologize for what has happened over these past few weeks." He said in a calm tone.
"Where you in control of your actions?" asked Stephanie.
"No, I wasn't. I could see what was happening, but I no means of controlling myself."
"Are we expected to believe that crap?" demanded Triple H.
"Hunter, look at what he is wearing." Whispered Stephanie.
Kane endured the awkward stare of Triple H, who soon realized what Kane said was true. Not to mention, there wasn't any given time that has ever walked around the arena barefooted. So, with that. Hunter gave but a nod of his head and told Kane to change. "There's a suit in the other office for you." As Kane turned to leave, Hunter called aloud. "Before you go." He said. Kane paused and turned back around. "Did you see Miss Lee?"
"She is in the building, but I didn't see her."
That part was a lie. Hunter, however didn't look any farther into it. Kane walked out of the room, the sights from Dante's eyes began to haunt his mind. He remembered the moment he walked into the room. She sat in wait of him, at first she was taken back by the sight and turned her attention to Serpentine. "You turned him?" she asked in a shocking tone. "Did Kane agree to it?"
"More or less" Serpentine said.
"Actually, Miss Lee. If I may speak to you alone about this?" said Dante.
He remembered watching Serpentine leave the room, it just so happened Beowulf was walking by and was quickly followed. Dante was left alone with Miss Lee who looked concerned. "Spill Dante, what's going on?"
"Kane was reluctant. However we made it appear that he remains reluctant in the eyes of the Authority, so we won't compromise his position in the WWE."
She nodded her head. "Alright, Dante, I am flattered that you came to help. You have done a wonderful job, but it's time for Kane to have his body back. He has served his purpose."
Kane felt the dread fill Dante as he began to shutter. Dante took himself out of the room, where he encountered Serpentine.
From there, Kane regained control of his body. He woke with his senses resorted. Yet he couldn't help but feel the chill. He did hear the Wyatts scream after all. What did that blond guy do to them?
Needless to say, Kane was quick to change into a suit and find Hunter and Stephanie once more. They looked him over and nodded their approval. "Alright, let's get this done." Said Hunter.
The three made their way out to the ring where Hunter was about to address the WWE. He spoke about Miss Lee's return and how 'happy' he was that she was well again. "Which brings us to the Wyatts. Gentlemen, I need you to come to this ring right now."
The lights lowered, the music played through the arena as the Wyatts made their way to the ramp with the lantern. But something was wrong. Kane, somehow saw through the darkness and realized the Wyatt family wasn't moving on their own. The rampway suddenly lit up, Luke and Erick suddenly fell forward and landed face first on the ramp.
Hunter stumbled back as Bray suddenly fell forward as well. Standing behind him was Miss Lee, holding the lantern, along the ramp way were her vampires, including Adrian. The four stood there in silence until she blew out the lantern, plunging the arena into darkness.
When the lights came on again. She stood in the ring with Serpentine at her side. The Basilisk of Berlin, Adrian and a possessed CM Punk waited outside of the ring. "Now then, I think we have to discuss how we will be go about doing business from here on." Said Miss Lee. "Next time, it isn't a good idea to strike me from behind!"
Hunter tightened his tie. "With all due respect Miss. Lee. We don't control the Wyatts, they are loose cannons."
"Not anymore." She snapped back. Her attention turned to Stephanie. "All I did was ask, a simple request that required no effort on your part. A simple yes or no answer was all I wanted from the Undertaker. Remember not to over complicate things."
Then her eyes turned to Kane. At first, he didn't oblige and look her in the face. Yet slowly he did. She was about to speak, but stopped herself. She turned to Serpentine. "Let's go."
They left the ring and said nothing more.
