Roman looks at Dean who wasn't the same after they talked to Cody. Dean kept pacing the apartment and muttering that he wanted to kill everyone. That he was going to kill anyone that ever harassed or looked at Seth. He was even starting to make a list of people that he thinks where the ones to hurt Seth. Roman sighs and looks at Dean, "calm down"

Dean shakes his head, "they hurt him.. they raped him Roman. I want them all to pay."

Roman sighs, "we don't even know if they where wrestlers."

Dean growls softly, "how else would it get around the locker room."

Roman leans back and looks at Dean, "Seth wouldn't want you to go to jail for murder."

Dean flops down and then growls, "I want them to pay.. With blood Roman.. and pain."

Roman nods, "If we ever find out who. We will make them pay."

Dean grabs his phone and dials a number, "I'm making Kane meet with us."

Roman nods, "tell him we'll be at his place tomorrow."

To Dean and Roman's surprise Kane was expecting their call. He agrees to have them at his home and even arranged for the flight. Dean insists on the next flight so they sleep on the red-eye and arrive the next morning. The cab drops them off at Kane's home and Kane opens the door looking at the brothers.

"Roman.. Dean," Kane greets them and guides them to his living room.

Dean sits down and eyes the big man, "Cody said you knew.. about Seth in the Authority."

Kane nods and looks at them, "Yes.. why are you curious though."

Roman sighs, "We want to know about Seth's last year. We got a strange letter and.. We're worried there is something going on."

Dean shows Kane the letter.

Kane reads it and leans back, "I was expecting you two to come. I .. I'm not sure he would want me to talk to you though."

Dean snaps, "He is dead and we already found out we couldn't protect him. We want to know what happened."

Taker's rough voice comes from the Kitchen, "Glen tell them."

Kane sighs and looks at his husband, "Fine."

Dean growls and drums his fingers against his collar bone, "what's he doing here?"

Taker eyes them from the door way, "this is my home."

Roman blinks, "You two?"

Kane nods, "Yeah, if you never got the memo, we're not brothers."

Dean shakes his head, "I don't care who your fucking.. Tell us what happened to Seth."

Kane sighs "Seth joined the Authority because Hunter offered him protection."

Roman blinks, "protection from what?"

Kane runs a hand over his head, "From what was going on backstage. The harassment didn't stop. In fact it got worse and a couple of guys cornered him in the locker room. They didn't anything that would get them fired but they did feel the kid up. Hunter stated that if Seth joined the authority he would be protected from it. Seth agreed to join the authority. At first Hunter kept his word."

Taker snorts, "he always does at first."

Kane sighs softly, "then Hunter wanted something from Seth. Since Seth couldn't handle Dean in the ring, Hunter demanded payment from Seth. If Seth wanted the protection from the locker room he would have to pay Hunter."

Dean swallows and Roman already knows but asks, "how."

Kane speaks softly, "in bed. "

Dean shakes his head, "he'd never.. "

Kane shakes his head, "Seth was scared. After he joined the authority and lost you two. He had no where else to go in his mind. He agreed."


Seth sobs softly into Kane's chest as Kane held him. Kane shakes his head, "have you talked to them?"

Seth shakes his head, "they won't listen. They just want to beat on me. I have to Glen. I don't have a choice. If I'm kicked out of the authority I have no allies or anything. I.. I don't want to be hurt again."

Kane snaps, "you'll be hurt if you do this."

Seth whispers, "at least it's my choice. I mean it's all I'm good for right?"


Kane looks at Roman and Dean and then him and Taker jump when Dean leaps up and snaps at both of them.

"Why didn't anyone tell us," Dean screams.

Kane sighs, "Dean you where going after Seth at every turn. You kept attacking him and trying to hurt him. Even with out Seth making me promise not to talk to you about it, I wouldn't have."

Taker sits down by Kane, "Glen brought Seth home a couple of times to keep him away from Hunter. When ever Hunter took Seth home with him, he would come back bruised and hurt pretty bad."

Kane nods, "We couldn't get him away from Hunter. He was just too scared."

Dean whispers, "I .. I would have killed Hunter for hurting him."

Roman rumbles, "We still might."

Kane sighs softly, "Seth though started to get some different attention."

Dean frowns, "what do you mean?"

Kane sighs, "Randy Orton started hitting on him and sweet talking him."

Roman frowns knowing Randy has a horrible reputation.

Kane looks at Roman and nods, "Yeah and Seth fell for it. Randy was extremely gentle at first and almost sweet. Then .."


Seth looks at Kane and whispers, "I fell down."

Kane has Seth's chin tipped up and he glares down at the younger man. There's a noticeable bruise on his cheek. Kane shakes his head, "Seth you didn't fall. Don't lie to me."

Seth shrugs, "he didn't mean to."

Kane growls, "He never means to. You need to leave him Seth."

Seth whispers, "he loves me.. Hunter is even leaving me alone."

Kane looks at him, "He hits you.."

Seth whispers, "but.."

Kane looks up when the door opens and Randy stands there, his arms crossed. He motions Seth to come to him and Seth walks over nervously. Randy wraps an arm around Seth's waist before he growls at Kane, "Stay away from him."


Kane sighs, "That was the last time I was alone with him."

Dean closes his eyes, "The names on my hit list just keep coming."

Taker nods at Dean, "I'm with you on that one. When you go back to work, call me."

Roman looks at Kane, "what do you mean you where never alone with him."

Kane shrugs, "Jamie and Joey where hired by Hunter and Randy. They where with him full time. They never let me near Seth alone after that."

Takers Speaks up, "I heard through the grapevine, Seth was payment for Randy to stay with the authority. "

Dean closes his eyes, "J&J did they..."

Kane shakes his head, "they never touched him. You should talk to them though. Joey really liked Seth."

Roman looks at Kane, "did Seth.. kill himself?"

Kane closes his eyes and then speaks softly, "I want to say no Roman but.. I don't know."

Taker looks at the men in the room, "the letter makes sense now. Nothing was what it seemed with Seth and the Authority."


Dean and Roman agreed, that when they got back in the ring that they would call Kane and Taker. All four of them wanted Hunter to pay. Taker may be retired but he was still down right scary when he wanted to be. Kane got in touch with Joey and Jamie for them and J&J agreed to meet Dean and Roman. Jamie tried to make Dean promise that they wouldn't be on Dean's ever growing hit list. Dean never actually agreed to it but he said at least he would hear them out. Joey then agreed to meet them saying they owed it to Seth.

Dean walks in with Roman to office that Kane set up the meeting at. Jamie looks at them and Joey stands.

Joey speaks softly, "Dean. Roman."

Dean eyes him, "so you can talk."

Joey shrugs, "I only talk to those I want to talk to."

Roman sits down, "Tell us what happened. "

Jamie looks at them, "Promise us... if Randy and them come after us.."

Dean smirks, "if they are alive after we are done with them, you will be protected."

Roman growls, "But they won't be alive."

Joey looks at Roman and whispers, "promise us that you will make them pay."

Dean looks at the smaller man, "We will make them scream."

Roman notices the tears in the other men's eyes and knows they have to be hurting.

Joey nods and then looks at them, "Randy hired us to keep people away from his property, Seth. Hunter had given Seth to Randy though I don't think Seth knew that in the beginning. It was to keep Randy in the authority. At first it was just a couple slaps and pushing when Seth wouldn't do what Randy wanted."

Jamie nods, "It got worse though.. A lot worse. Randy began beating on Seth. Hunter and Stephanie knew about it too."

Joey rubs his head, "Randy .. raped Seth one night and Seth went to Hunter and Stephanie. They though didn't care. They told him he was with Randy and to deal with it. Hunter then said that Seth was a slut anyways and he should be use to taking it."

Jamie shakes his head, "We.. tried to call the police and Seth always stopped us."

Joey wipes at his eyes, "he said they would destroy his career."

Jamie whispers, "we should have done it anyways."

Joey nods, "We should have shot Randy that night."

Dean looks confused, "what do you mean."


Joey hears Seth screaming in the hotel room, attached to theirs, and he looks at Jamie, "Jamie.. we have to do something."

Jamie stands up and goes to his suitcase. He had brought his gun this time. Jamie was tired of hear Seth's screams and cries for help. He was going to do something about it this time. He wasn't going to let Seth be hurt anymore. Joey's eyes go wide and he grabs Jamie's arm, "No"

Jamie looks at Joey, "I'm not going to let him continue to be hurt.. I'm tired of this Joey."

Joey shakes his head, "Jamie.. you'll go to jail, think of your daughter."

Jamie snaps and hisses, "I am. If that was my daughter I would want someone to protect her and help her."

Joey hisses, "Jamie.."

Jamie looks at Joey with pain in his eyes, "I know but.."

Joey shakes his head, "who will protect him if you and I aren't here and you're in jail?"

Jamie looks at him, "how are we protecting him now? HUH how.."

Joey looks at Jamie and doesn't have an answer. Jamie puts the gun down and then slides to sit on the floor. The screams still coming from the room.

Something breaks in Dean and he looks at the men.

"everyone knew about this. Everyone.. and no one got him help. No one.. did anything. You all just let him be hurt, used and abused," Dean whispers.

Jamie and Joey look at him and don't deny it.

Roman whispers, "and we should have known. We should have.. "

Dean stands up and leaves the room, he doesn't want to hear anything else. He was heading to Raw.

Roman looks at J&J and whispers, "We all have to live with this guilt .. but We will keep our word. They will pay."
