Chapter 26

Stephanie stared at everything on the desk with wide blue eyes, her mouth slightly open in shock. She didn't want to believe anything her father just heard, but it was hard not to with all the evidence in front of her. Vince sat behind the desk with his arms folded in front of his chest, a stoic look on his face. He'd been right in all of his assumptions and felt his heart break as the huge tears slid down his daughter's face. Vince didn't move to console her because he knew Stephanie would lash out and would have to cope with the shock in her own way.

"D-Daddy, I don't understand…"

"What's not to understand, Stephanie?" Vince shot back, anger laced in his rough voice. "Everything is laid out and there's no use denying it. Everyone is about to pay for their crimes and it's going to start with your husband." He stood up when the door opened, nodding at his friend he personally hired for this job.

Sasha Mitchell was one of Vince and Linda's closest friends, not to mention the best in her line of work. She was a private investigator, but was also an FBI agent for the country. When she had time off, Sasha did private investigator work until the FBI called her up for an assignment. She had fiery red hair and deep piercing hazel eyes that had absolutely no emotion in them. She was in her 50's and looked like a 30 year old model, her body immaculate for her age. She wore a simple pair of navy blue cargo pants and a long sleeved shirt, her badge clipped to the black belt around her waist along with a holster. Her fiery red hair was pulled up in a neat slick bun, just a hint of makeup on her face.

"Vince." She nodded to him and then turned her attention to Stephanie, squaring her shoulders. "Mrs. Levesque, before we call your husband into the office to question him, I have a few things to ask you."

Stephanie swallowed hard and did as she was told, sitting down while the woman pulled out a pad of paper with a pen. "Daddy…"

"Just answer the questions, Stephanie." Vince ordered, already knowing his daughter was completely innocent.

"First question: Did you know what your husband was planning to do to Leati Joseph Anoa'i?"

"No." Stephanie answered without hesitation, keeping her voice soft and calm.

"And did you know about his purchase of the drug Ketamine?" Sasha continued, checking off each question she asked Vince's daughter.

"Absolutely not."

Sasha smiled, though it didn't touch her eyes. "Yes and no answers only, Mrs. Levesque. Now then, did you know about Phillip Brooks and Randy Orton paying your husband large sums of money?"

Stephanie swallowed hard and looked over at her father, fear entering her eyes. "Yes."

"How long?"

"A few weeks."

"How did you find out?"

"My father called and told me, then said he would take care of it."

Sasha nodded, tapping the pen against her chin thoughtfully. "One last question Mrs. Levesque, and then we'll be done here. Did you know about Natalie Eva Marie Nelson's involvement with the situation regarding the DVD scandal?" Vince had not missed a thing with this investigation.

"No."

"Very good, you are in the clear, Stephanie. Your father informed me you were the only one he told about the checks. I just had to make sure you would not lie for your husband." Sasha explained, reaching over to pat her leg and stood from the chair, slipping the pad of paper and pen in her pocket. "It's time to page your son-in-law, Vince. The squad cars are already outside waiting and all I have to do is inform them when to come to make the appropriate arrests."

Vince nodded, looking over at his daughter. "If you can't handle this, you need to leave. Because one way or another, all the shit ends tonight."

Stephanie knew her father wasn't playing games and nodded in understanding. "I'm staying. I want to know the truth."

"Very well." Vince sighed and made the necessary phone call, paging his son-in-law to his office immediately.

Sasha gathered the evidence that was on Vince's desk and stacked them neatly so she could flash them in front of Paul during his questioning. They were all in air tight plastic bags that could only be open with a sharp object, all the prints still firmly on the evidence. 10 minutes later, Paul came sauntering into his father-in-law's office with a big cheesy smile on his face, stopping short at the sight of his crying wife.

"What's going on here?" He demanded, heading over to Stephanie's side and blinked when a woman much shorter than him with fiery red hair stepped in front of him.

"Sit down, Mr. Levesque." She ordered, not the least bit intimidated by him. "I have some questions for you."

Paul looked at Vince and then Stephanie, wondering what the hell was going on. "I don't understand…"

"You will in a moment." Sasha assured him, waiting for him to sit down and then took a seat in front of him, the evidence in front of her. "Now then, it has been brought to my attention from Mr. McMahon that some of his Superstars and faculty have recently been hurt. He asked me to look into it and I did. My name is Sasha Mitchell, by the way." She didn't bother extending her hand. "I'm a private investigator and also an FBI agent for the government. Mr. McMahon contacted me to look into the television situation regarding Leati Joseph Anoa'i and Natalie Eva Marie Nelson. And I have found some rather interesting evidence regarding the matter."

Paul became nervous instantly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "What does this gotta do with me?" He grunted, folding his arms in front of his chest and tried to keep a poker face, but this woman was incredibly intimidating.

"I'm glad you asked, Mr. Levesque." Sasha smiled coldly. "You see, Vince McMahon recently found some check stubs from two WWE Superstars that were addressed specifically to you. Each was in the sum of $1,000,000 dollars. Why did you receive that amount of money from Randy Orton and Phillip Brooks?"

Oh shit, was Paul's first thought, but he had to remain cool, calm and collected. "They owed me money." He lied, clearing his throat. "I'm sorry, my throat is a little dry. Do you mind if I step out to get some water?"

"Yes I do mind and no you may not." Sasha replied coolly, already knowing he was lying through his teeth. "It's funny how you say they owed you money. So here's my next question." She held up the bag with what looked like a receipt, hazel eyes burning. "Do you recognize this?"

Paul didn't look close enough and simply nodded, vaguely remembering it. "Yeah why?"

Now Sasha had a full-blown grin on her face. "Do you know what it's for?"

"Yeah, a gift for my wife."

"Really?" Sasha arched a brow, not believing what a moron she was dealing with. "Mr. Levesque, lying to an FBI agent isn't in your best interest right now. But I'll take your word for it. So my next question is: why would you purchase the drug Ketamine for your wife? Do you know what Ketamine is?"

Every drop of Paul's blood ran ice cold at that moment and he looked over at his father-in-law while Stephanie kept her head lowered. "I umm…I uhh…damn it's hot in here…"

"Answer the question, Mr. Levesque."

Paul was screwed, pulling at the tie around his neck. "N-No I don't…"

"So you bought a drug for your wife and you have no idea what it does?" Sasha shook her head, setting the receipt down on the table. "Sounds like a blatant lie to me. You know what the drug does and I want to know why you purchased it. What did you use it for?"

"I-I don't remember purchasing it…" Paul lied again, desperation in his voice and watched as the FBI agent stood up from her chair, walking over to him. "I swear…" His eyes went wide as potatoes when the agent flashed a DVD entitled 'RP Plan' in his face. "W-Where did you get that?!"

Sasha smiled, knowing she had Paul right where she wanted him. "Vince and Stephanie gave me permission to search your enormous home and I found it along with the receipt for the purchased Ketamine. And the drug cost you $2,000,000 dollars. Funny since that's the exact amount of money from both Randy Orton and Phillip Brooks you received."

He was caught red-handed and there was no escape because Paul had noticed a couple squad cars pull up to the arena a few hours prior. "They knew I could get my hands on it because I've used it before." He confessed, scrubbing a hand down his face.

"NOW we're getting somewhere." Sasha set the evidence back on Vince's desk away from Paul and stood over him. "Tell me what you did now."

Paul knew this would kill Stephanie to hear, but he had no choice in the matter and lowered his eyes to the floor. "They came to me and asked for my help, said they would make it worth my while. I had a vet friend that supplied me with the drug, but I had to pay her off to keep her mouth shut. And no, I will never reveal her name, no matter what you do to me." He added gruffly, refusing to throw his friend under the bus. "I used it to drug Joe Anoa'i for Randy Orton and Phillip Brooks. They had a plan to take the big man upstairs and paid Eva Marie off to pretend to be his lover. All they wanted to do was split Joe Anoa'i and Valisa Towers up by making it seem like Joe had slept with Eva Marie. I didn't ask questions, Randy has been my friend for years, but I know it has to do with Zelia Bell. I know he wants her and Phillip wants Valisa."

Stephanie began crying at her husband's cruel confession, covering her face with her hands. "H-How could you do this to your family, you son of a bitch?!" She suddenly shrieked, launching at him, but Vince stopped his daughter, feeling her whip around to bury her face in his chest.

"Arrest him now and get him the hell out of my office." Vince growled at Sasha, knowing they got what they needed and there was enough evidence to make the arrests of the 3 Superstars along with his son-in-law. "You're going to jail, you son of a bitch. You're going to jail and you'll NEVER see my daughter or my grandchildren again!"

Stephanie couldn't deal with this any longer and flew out of the office, ignoring Paul's bellows of her name. Sasha proceeded to walk over and read Paul his Maranda rights, cuffing his wrists behind his back. He was charged with extortion, illegal use of narcotics and distributing them along with being an accessory to the drugging of Leati Joseph Anoa'i. A few minutes later, 3 FBI agents came into the office and took Paul away to the squad car, taking out of the trash figuratively speaking. Then Sasha asked Vince to page the victims, starting with the women since it would be easier to break the news to them.

When Zelia and Valisa were both paged to Vince McMahon's office, they had no idea what was happening. This was their first night back since Valisa's attack and they were just trying to do their jobs without any problems. They had heard rumors going around that Paul Levesque had been arrested and there were squad cars outside of the arena, but that was it. So even if Randy and Phillip wanted to run, every entrance was blocked so there was no way out for them. They walked inside Vince McMahon's office with clasped hands, both of them scared to death for what was going to happen. Vince gave the floor to Sasha, who sat both of the terrified women down and gently explained to them what happened. Valisa had already called Stephanie a few days prior and told her it was Phillip Brooks who beat and raped her.

Both Zelia and Valisa were completely floored by the time Sasha finished the explanation regarding Paul Levesque's involvement in the crimes with Randy Orton and Phillip Brooks. Valisa broke down against Zelia, not believing Joe was innocent in all of this. He never cheated on her with Eva Marie. He was drugged by one of the bosses, someone they were all supposed to trust, all because he was Randy Orton's buddy. Zelia held Valisa tightly while she cried, thanking the stars above that they had finally gotten the answers they needed. When Sasha informed them Vince would page Randy and Phillip to the office for their arrests, they refused to leave, wanting to see them taken away in cuffs.

Sasha didn't bother questioning Randy and Phillip, simply getting into the Maranda rights while they both protested with wide eyes. Randy was arrested for abduction, extortion and an accessory to the crime against Leati Joseph Anoa'i while Phil was arrested for rape, assault, extortion and also an accessory to the drugging. They were taken away in cuffs with both Randy and Phillip shouting profanities back at Valisa and Zelia, vowing revenge. Sasha rolled her eyes while her FBI agents took the raging men away, shaking her head sadly. There was one last arrest to be made and Vince made the page, once again Zelia and Valisa standing strong. Sasha admired their courage and didn't blame them for wanting to see justice handed out to all the people that tried destroying their lives.

Eva Marie sauntered into Vince McMahon's office with a bright smile, her lips painted a deep red along with her bright red hair hanging down her back over her shoulders. She stopped at the sight of Zelia and Valisa, the smile instantly disappearing from her face. Valisa wanted to hurt her for everything she did to Joe, but knew she would end up arrested like the others. Just to be on the safe side, Zelia kept a firm hold on her hand, both of their faces blotchy from crying, but relief shined in their eyes. Eva Marie had no idea what was going on until Sasha went into the long explanation of how she'd been an accessory to the drugging of Leati Joseph Anoa'i. The redhead couldn't deny any of it and started crying, claiming she'd been paid off to lay in bed naked with Joe during the taping. Sasha read the Maranda rights for the fourth and final time that night before 3 more FBI agents walked in, arresting Eva Marie. She screeched and hollered, claiming she was innocent the whole way out of the arena.

The last person that was paged to the office was Joe and Valisa couldn't handle seeing him at the moment, feeling ashamed for accusing him of cheating. She thanked Sasha for everything along with Vince, shaking both of their hands. Zelia did the same, actually hugging Sasha and walked out just as both Joe and Jon walked up. Valisa immediately turned and walked down the hallway away from them toward the exit while Zelia stayed behind to talk to the men. She didn't blame Valisa for feeling ashamed because the woman had been so hell bent on believing Joe actually cheated on her with Eva Marie. When it turned out he'd been a victim just like her.

"What's going on?" Joe demanded, frowning at the sight of Valisa's disappearing form heading down the hallway.

"Everything will be explained to you inside. They'll want to do it privately, so you'll have to wait outside, Jon." Zelia was still heated with him and they hadn't spoken since he hung up on her the night of Valisa's nightmare. "We're going back to the hotel. Our room number is 3412. Get the show done and then come see us if you want." Turning, Zelia headed down the hallway to catch up with Valisa and left both Joe and Jon standing there with confused expressions on their faces.
