A/N: I don't own any WWE characters you recognize also, I'm sorry for killing off Dean Lol. That broke my heart more than you folks will ever know.

"We got 7 minutes before we get there. You put too much faith in me Stephanie."

Stephanie looked at her smiling softly and placed her hand on her knee. "I probably do but you haven't let me down yet or at least fully. I wish you had talked to Seth about what you were going to do."

"You're one to talk about being honest with Seth." Lanay looked over. "This was my way of keeping him safe from Hunter. I don't trust either of you and I'm on guard."

"Understandable."

"No, it's not. You two put me in a fucked up position and… god Steph."

"Just promise me you won't ever tell him."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll keep your damn promise."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too."

"Don't be." Stephanie gave her knee a squeeze as Lanay tried to focus. "Gotta stay strong if we're going to get through this."

"I am."

"You're cracking. We taught you better than that."

"You threw a lot at me right before this shit so give me a moment." Lanay breathed out quickly as they reached Hunter's. "Just keep your end of the bargain, you at least owe me that."

"I will."

"He knows he's the father doesn't it?"

"Yeah."

Lanay closed her eyes after she parked the car thinking about all the times he kept her safe and it made sense. "Let's do this." She brandished her gun as she opened the door and Stephanie's placing it back against her head.

"Four cars are here." Lanay whispered. "You know who is at the door, at least ten guys inside. Hunter's going to have everyone in the dining room."

"You're telling me this like I know." Stephanie whispered back as they saw Show standing guard at the door his eyes going wide.

"You brought her back I see?" Show's voice was annoyance and Lanay wasn't in the mood.

"Yep. You could've did more than me probably but here we are." Lanay's tone didn't hide anything as he raised his eyebrow at Stephanie and she shrugged.

"Show." Stephanie touched his arm gently. "Let Hunter know we're here."

Lanay didn't miss the look that passed between them and she narrowed her eyes. "Who's all here?" She hoped the question came casually.

"Enzo, Cass, Dango, Jamie, Mercury, E, AJ, Dana, Truth, and Orton." Show answered back escorting them to the dining room. "You know he knows you're here."

Out of all the names Lanay knew the ones that would cause the most trouble would which were Dana, E, and especially Orton. There was so much bad blood between her and him and Seth never helped matters in that situation. "Cool." Lanay nudged Stephanie with the head of the gun still firmly against her head.

"Oh, Show, we might be expecting some visitors." Lanay told him. "Make sure they don't get in."

"Visitors?"

"Yeah, I found Steph here with Roman and Seth." The emphasis she put on his name wasn't lost on him as he rubbed his bald head. "Make sure they don't get in please." Lanay was basically pleading with him at this point.

"Two visitors won't be coming in, got it." Show nodded.

Lanay breathed a sigh of relief still walking behind him before speaking again. "Show, just make sure okay? Do whatever you can to dispose of them."

Show turned around looking at her and Stephanie and wanting to say more because he was aware this night was going to go to hell but instead opened the door for them and went back to his post.

The room turned at the door opening and Hunter's bright smile beamed at the two. "I'm so glad you could make it back Stephanie, how was the trip?" His voice dripped with sarcasm.

"Oh not long enough as always sweetie." Stephanie threw back at him.

"Lanay, remove the gun from my wife's head will ya'?" He joked with the room full of guests walking closer to them. "How about you join us for dinner? I made all your favorite food."

"For me? You shouldn't have." The kiss Stephanie gave Hunter on the cheek was one that confused the room but not Lanay. She rolled her eyes hoping this wouldn't go the way she thought it would.

"Come wife." Hunter grabbed her arm forcefully pulling her towards the table. He stopped before turning towards Lanay. "My precious daughter, please sit by me. I'm glad you made sure Stephanie arrived back in one piece."

"Of course dad." Three can play this game.

They walked towards the table as the room looked at all three of them wanting to know what was going to happen. Orton gave a murderous glance at her as she sat down. "It's been awhile."

"Yes, Randy it has. The last I heard you were in Canada, what brings you back?"

"Oh, Hunter made me an offer I couldn't refuse." The smile he gave alluded to a lot more as Lanay looked over at Hunter who was watching the two interact.

"We'll discuss all that later but first let's celebrate my family all in one place." Hunter waved his arms as the food was brought in by caterers.

The conversation around the room seemed stilted tonight or maybe it was to Lanay as she pretended to enjoy the meal in front of her. It wasn't easy with Randy looking over at her smiling every few minutes when finally she hissed at him. "What the hell is your problem?"

"Oh, I just can't wait until you finally marry me."

"What?!" She almost exclaimed. "What are you on? You know I don't want you."

"Right now maybe but I'm due to take over soon and you will be my first lady. We will be the new Authority leaders."

"Did Hunter promise you this?"

"Of courses so that means reject or death…" Randy took a sip of his wine still looking at her and Lanay felt disgusted.

"This isn't the olden days. You can't just expect me to be in some sort of arraigned marriage besides-"

"Besides what? Don't mention that thorn in my spine Seth. He isn't half the man I am and you know it."

"You're right he's infinity times the man you are." Lanay smiled going back to her food.

"When he's dead you'll have no choice." His hand went to her thigh squeezing tightly digging his nails into her flesh. "Make a sound, I love when my women do that."

Lanay didn't give in as she slowly moved her hand under the table and quickly jabbed the fork into his hand causing him to cry out and spill the wine over himself. "Oh Randy!" She fake exclaimed. "Are you okay?"

The narrow eyes on her didn't miss her as she turned to Hunter giving him the same look. "Great dinner dad." She took a sip of the water in front of her.

Stephanie saw the blood that wasn't wine on Orton's hand and smiled. "Randy, you got wine everywhere, go clean yourself."

Randy shot Hunter a look of anger while muttering a "stupid bitch" walking out the door.

The rest of the table tried not to laugh and Lanay went back to her meal just hoping that Show could stick to his word and get Roman and Seth the hell away. Orton's presence wasn't going to assist the situation in anyway. She looked over at Stephanie and nodded her head.

It was starting to come to her what was going to happen tonight. Stephanie was going to die and if Roman and Seth bust through that door they would as well. There was no way he would just promise her to someone else and why would he without her permission? The past few hours were starting to come to her and she realized she made a huge mistake not trusting Stephanie.

Please just keep Seth safe. Lanay kept whispering in her mind.

Randy came back in the room with a smile on his face. "Hunter, we have visitors. I saw Show outside talking to Roman and Seth. How about we invite them in?"

Lanay's eyes quickly went to Stephanie. Fuck, well there goes plan A out the fucking window.
