( I hope everyone continues to read, enjoy & review. Thanks for the review as always.)
Eve kept looking around when she didn't see either guy come back after a while. Did that mean they found Patty? If so why couldn't they of called her phone or something. She thought of calling theirs, but what if something was wrong & the distraction would make whatever worse.
"Why I feel odd man out?" Matt Hardy softly spoke to her.
"It's a long story…Just not to be told tonight though.
A clump of red hair was seen moving through the room. The center floor was growing crowded of people Stephen saw Drew dancing close to Tiffany & his vision swirled more. He didn't process right now that Patty called Adam her heart, he just saw Drew her husband in the hold of another woman while Patty laid obviously ill in a hotel room alone.
Stephen stormed over grabbing Drew by the shoulder who went to yell at who ever interrupted them only to be spun in place & hit full force in the mouth. The impact knocked Drew down on his ass looking up at the inflamed Irishman. "WHAT THEE HELL MAN!" Seeing Stephen seething being held back by Glenn & Cena.
"Ye a married man how dare ya put ya mitts on another lass!"
Tiffany saw her opening & carefully crouched by Drew a hand on his shoulder. "Of course he can have his hands on me…I'M his wife…I don't know what business it is of yours."
Stephen tried to pull against the two holding him as Drew slowly stood up rubbing his jaw. "He married me sister…LET ME GO!"
"Not till you calm down." Glenn informed him just a Hunter came over.
"Get these two to the lobby so we can sort this out without disrupting the whole party." Drew started to walk away even thought worried he acted smug sure he could used Stephens drunk condition against him. Glenn & John let Stephen go who followed Drew the two men went in case things got out of hand again.
Hunter looked at Tiffany. "You come too, seems you are part of this." She gave a sigh then a nod of her head following Hunter out to the Lobby/foyer for the ballroom areas. When Hunter got out there Glenn was by Stephen & Cena by Drew.
"How dare ya ponch me….I should have ya arrested!" Drew was heard yelling.
"GO AHEAD FELLA FORM THE WAY THINGS SEEM IT BE WORTH IT JUST TO DO IT AGAIN! How dare ya use Patty like that!"
"Oh yeah you prime to talk of treatment of Patty."
"ENOUGH!" Yelled Paul. Both men quieted looking at him who had Tiffany standing next to him. He turns his focus at Stephen. "OK, you first. Why did you punch Drew?"
"He's up here having a grond time, while he left his very sick wif in their room."
"What you tal.." Tiffany began to say till Hunter raised ah and to direct her to be quite for now.
"How you know his wife is sick?"
"For some redson Taker was tryin to reach er…He stoop me from pounding this arse ere."
"Undertaker…come on Hunter he is clearly dronk off his own arse & makes no sense." Drew sneered trying to defend himself.
Hunter looked at Drew. "OK do you have a wife?"
"Aye…Tiffy here."
"WHY YOU…" Stephen started to move towards Drew again then Glenn grabs his arm. "LIEING DIRTY BASTARD!" Trying to pull against the bigger guy.
"STEPHEN! Enough….You try that again I may agree to have Drew here press charges." Hunter barked at him Stephen stops his struggle closing his eyes taking a deep breath. Hunter then looks towards Drew & Tiffany. "You two…married?"
"Aye sir we are." A faint growl is heard from Stephen who fights wanting to move & just a curl of his lips. Hunter looks at Tiffany who just keep her eyes down. "Tiff luv tell him…tell him." Drew almost pleads.
"We are….for now." She replied.
"What ya mean for now?" Drew asked
Tiffany took a deep breath. "I mean I heard what has been going on. I know you lied to me..I know you lied to Stephen here & his sister…I know you lied about seeing the two of them when you went home for the holiday to tend to your mother who I now even doubt was sick."
"Tiff Luv." Drew's voice & eyes almost begging.
"Don't Even…Which one of us do you really love Drew or is it just yourself?"
"I gave ya everything ya wished…I treated you like a queen."
Stephen was clenching his fists a snarl to his voice. "Ya treat her like royalty why ya treated Patty like a handmaiden is that it fella!"
"Ya don't know what ya saying Stphen." Drew told him.
"Like hell I don't, which is where I sen ya if ye don't fess up."
Hunter lowered his head to his hand across his forehead to try to calm the impending headache. "Stay here." He turns moving to the security desk talking to the guard at it. A minute or so later two more guards show up walking with Hunter. "Sorry to ruin your evening Glenn, John…but I want these two in separate rooms till this get sorted."
"And you want us to play babysitters." Glenn replied.
"Yeah sorry guys I'll make it up some how."
"Yeah…I'll watch Stephen here." Glenn motioned Stephen to follow the one guard while Drew & John followed the other.
Hunter looked at Tiffany. "Now…tell me EVERYTHING you know about this mess." Tiffany sighed filling Hunter in even though she hated to bring Eve's name up she had no choice. Once she was done he told her to head back into the ballroom. He pulled out his phone trying to call Mark, but got no answer. He just sent a text telling him to call him back urgent.
Hunter walked into the ballroom looking around for the next person of interest. He headed towards Eve. She was still looking around when she saw him aproching.
"Eve."
"Can I help you Hunter?"
"We need to talk."
"Um…ok…" She moved from the table following Hunter to the foyer. "What's going on?"
"That's what I want to know from you…What is this mess with Drew, Stephen & Patty."
"Damn." she faintly mumbled. "How much you know?"
"That doesn't matter…I need to know what you know." Eve bit her lip lightly before she slowly started telling Hunter everything over the last month or so.
"Damn it…First Deadman & now Adam mixed in this mess too…Look see if you can get Adam's number off Jason for me. I already called Mark's phone with no answer."
"OK, one moment." Eve turned moving back into the ballroom & back to the table. She walked around to where Jay was sitting whispering to him. He got slightly wide eyes looked at Eve then nodded removing his phone from his jacket brining up Adam's number. She grabbed her evening bag taking a pen out to write it down before she returned to Hunter.
"OK got it." She gave him the number while he called.
"Adam?…It's Hunter….From Jay, that don't matter though…long story short seems a lot of shit has hit the fan…Mark & Patty with you?….Shit….Her brother jumped Drew…You know why Mark isn't picking up his phone…I see…ok which hospital?….yeah I know it…Yeah…well when ever you see her just tell her to hold on….later." He hung up his phone slipping it back in his pocket.
"Well?" Eve lightly asked.
"He doesn't know much yet, just she has a dangerously high fever & that Mark had to fight to go back with her as a translator. Hold on Translator? Why would Patty need a translator?"
"Because English is not her only language Hunter. Maybe the fever is affecting how she is communicating?"
"What else she speak?"
"I don't really know the name of it. I think I was told Gaelic before."
"And somehow Mark knows it?"
"I guess so."
"Well I am going to sort out the guys if I can. You are free to return to the party."
"I rather know what hospital she is at so I can go keep Adam company."
"Of course…" Hunter gives her the information & she turns to head inside gathering her things also updating the group which means informing Mark's date he more then likely would not be back that night. Eve then rushed out with Jason & his wife.
Hunter was trying to decide which guy to deal with first.
