"I wasn't thinking! I just figured you guys had a plan and I didn't know what to do and-"
Triple H interrupted Roman with a great rage in his voice. "If you find a girl who was just kidnapped and fucking tied up somewhere, you'd untie them! It's not fucking rocket science! It's simple. You probably scared the shit out of her!"
Shawn added on, "As for wanting our opinion, you can get our opinion without her being tied up. She looked so scared when I walked in there. Now, I guarantee she thinks that you were in on Jamie's plan. I understand it's hard to think straight with stuff like this happening, but come on!"
All of the men continued to scream in each other's faces. It was an all out verbal war at this point. Roman's plan sucked, Seth is just a straight jackass, Hunter shouldn't be flipping out, and Shawn has no right to talk in any of this are just a few subjects that were brought up. Dean's name never appeared. It could've been because he did nothing wrong or because he wasn't even in the room.
Hadlynn and Dean continued to sit in the bedroom, listening in to the conversion of hell going on in the other room. The laughed to each other about everything. It was just one of those awkward bonding moments for them. As they giggled, Hadlynn sat up, trying to use her shoulder to get her gag off; Dean was confused, not knowing what she wanted. In a desperate effort to get Dean to understand, Hadlynn rubbed the duct tape that was wrapped around her head on his fingers. He soon understood completely what she meant.
"Okay, this may hurt a little bit," Dean said as he began to pull of layers. He had feet of unwound tape in a pile next to him. "Wow, I guess you were really putting up a hard fight." Hadlynn glared at him as he laughed. He pulled what he believed to be the last bit of the gag, only to reveal a cloth tied around her head and inside of her mouth.
"Mphhhease make mis mout, Mphhean," Hadlynn struggled to get out. Just as she said it, Shawn walked back in the room. He gave both people a confused look before walking back out of the room. "Mphhhease, met mph mout."
Dean chuckled before untying and removing the cloth. He then pulled out the stuffed cloth to allow her to be able to speak completely. She went into a full coughing fit, gasping for air. He stepped out, returning from the hell hole next door with a water bottle, placing it into her mouth.
She pulled away, turning her bound wrists to him. He apologized before he started, knowing how bad it would hurt before they even started. He tried to work fast but gently. Hadlynn held in all form of emotion; the pain was becoming nearly unbearable. After a solid 10 minutes, her aching wrists were free. She rubbed them. "That was seriously the worst sensation I've ever felt in my whole entire life. Why does dumb fucking shit like this happen to me all the time?"
"You're blessed like that. It's just the luck of the Hadlynns."
"Well, if it could stop, I'd be very happy. It would cause a lot of people a lot less problems."
Hadlynn was back at her home, relaxing before heading out to a house show, which was being held by her city. She had invited Seth over to talk about some matters concerning their relationship. The two were sitting in her living room, awkwardly silent. Hadlynn broke it, "You know I lied to all of the management, and even the police, to save your ass. If they found out that you helped, you would've been dead. But I couldn't let you get in all this for being an asshole."
"Well, thanks for that," Seth whispered under his breath. He spoke up, locking eyes with Hadlynn, "I've made a lot of mistakes in this friendship. I mean, a lot of relationships. So, what I'm saying is that I'm sorry. I know sorry doesn't even began to make it up to you, but I am."
The conversation was cut short by the sound of a baby crying. Hadlynn swiftly ran up to take care of it. When she returned to the room, she held a baby girl with curly pigtails. The baby had a little pink onesie with a hood on it, the hood placed over her head. Her mother had taken a seat in the couch, rocking the daughter.
The baby giggled at her mother. Seth couldn't help but to smile surge little baby. He laughed as Eleanor grabbed her mom's fingers, sucking on them. "How is your little pink monster doing?"
Hadlynn continued to play with the baby. "Eleanor is growing up quickly. I think I'm going to take her on the road when she gets a little older 'cause Ryan has work traveling and stuff. I was thinking about starting next week or something."
"Can I hold her," Seth asked. Hadlynn nodded, gently placing the baby in his arms. The "pink monster" chewed on her mittens, smiling up at Seth. "You got so big since the last time I saw you! Are you training to get in the ring or something?" The baby giggled, reaching for Seth's face. She settled on his finger, playing with his index finger. Hadlynn couldn't help but laugh.
"I think she's enjoying all of this attention! When she comes traveling, she'll be in heaven." The baby was still playing with Seth's hand. Ryan walked into the room, holding his cup of coffee close by. He laughed at the baby too.
Ryan walked over to Eleanor, tickling her tummy with his finger. "You hear that, Elli? Your faces are just dying to see you next week! They've missed you so much."
