It was Monday which meant Monday Night Raw, the show started with a match featuring the WWE Champion Randy Orton. During the match, the Champion tried to leave only to be stopped by The Big Show. The larger athlete had started to beat down the champion and to finish him off he choked slammed him through one of the announce tables.
Meanwhile
In a private locker room were the three men known as The Shield. Seth and Roman had been watching what happened to Randy, Dean however had a much more concern to worry about than the angered crybaby champion. Laying on the couch was Dean's kid sister, Sarah. She had been battling a harsh case of the flu, the blonde man hated seeing his sister like this. Weak, in pain, not being able to do much except watch. It was breaking his heart.
He put a cool rag on her forehead to drop her temperature. The young girl looked at her brother with tired blue eyes as a harsh cough came from her.
"De, I don't feel good" Her voice was soft and cracking.
He smoothed her hair back, giving her a gentle look. "I know baby, it'll be over in a few days"
Dean got up and went to her hoisting her up in his arms and gently rocking her. Seth finally looked at his two teammates.
"Randy's gonna be so pissed," The two-toned man said.
"Let him, he'll get over it" Dean replied to him. "I got more important matters to worry about than that big wuss"
"What's a wuss?" Sarah asked softly in her brother's hold.
Roman looked to his dirty-blonde teammate. "Has anyone told you that you were a good influence?"
"I'm a wonderful influence" He gave an innocent smile to his friends.
Seth couldn't help but chuckle. "If you say so"
The three men chuckled as Dean looked down feeling a slight tug on his shirt, Sarah looked like a baby kola as she clung to her brother's shirt. Her eyes were sunken in as she looked at her brother.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked concerned.
"I don't want you to get into trouble with Randy because of me" She let out before starting to cough harshly. "I don't want any of you in trouble" The coughing had started again.
Dean felt his heart swell, his baby sister was sick as a dog, and wasn't concerned about her well-being but her brother and the two men she saw as uncle figures. The elder man patted her back till the coughing stopped, what killed him the most it wasn't just Randy he was worried about. It was also Hunter and Stephanie, when the power couple recruited the three men for them they were gonna tell them to piss off.
Till Hunter had blackmailed Dean using Sarah as a pawn, it made the dirty blonde furious. Not many people knew he had a sister very few if that. When he joined the company he didn't have a choice but to disclose to them about his sister he knew at some point it would bite him in the ass. And it had.
Now with Randy and his fiery and fierce temper as of late he didn't wanna think of what the middle-aged wrestler known as The Viper would be capable of doing to an innocent little girl.
"Do you think he'll get me because you guys weren't there?" She went on after the cough stopped.
As much as that question fired him up he kept his cool as he just looked at the soft deep ocean blue eyes full of innocence. He ran a hand over her slightly damp and frizzy hair and gently placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you" He vowed to his sister.
"Your brother's right sweetheart" Seth added softly. "We won't let anyone hurt you"
"They'll have to get through us first" Roman finished.
"You'll always be safe with us sweetheart, especially me" Dean softly assured her with a smile.
"I love you De" She had kissed his cheek.
He kissed her head in return. "I love you too baby"
It hadn't taken long for her to fall asleep in his hold, her fingers still slightly gripping his shirt.
"We gotta go man" Roman broke him from his thoughts.
The dirty blonde hated leaving his sister especially when she was sick but he had no choice. When they left they made sure no one had been looking, Dean tried his damndest to make sure nobody knew about his sister. The less that knew the better. They walked to Jimmy and Jey's locker room.
The twin brothers adored the youngest Ambrose girl and Dean knew he could trust them. Dean soon arrived at the locker room and knocked, the brothers answered. The Shield member gently passed his sister over hoping she wouldn't wake up.
"I just gave her some meds she should be out for a little while, I shouldn't be too long" Dean informed the brothers.
"We got her Uce, do your thing," Jimmy told him.
"Thanks, man"
He petted the back of her head and left with his friends to go see Randy. Randy was in the trainer's room getting examined when the three men entered and Dean pushed the trainer to the side.
"Sup man" Seth spoke first.
"What's up? Where the hell were you guys? I don't know about an hour ago when I was getting my ass handed to me by The Big Show. Did you see what he did to me?" Randy ranted,
"Champ" Dean tried to get him to stop, repeatedly.
"Obviously not because you weren't there at my rescue like last week we beat his ass last week and now this week I'm getting my ass choked slammed through a table! Where were you? What Dean" He finished his rant looking at the US Champion.
"Randy, it's none of your business where we were," Dean told him smoothly.
This time Seth spoke. "Look man we don't work for Vickie Guerrero, we don't work for Brad Maddox, we don't work for Kane"
"And we damn sure don't work for you" Roman finished.
"Feel better alright" Seth patted his leg as they turned to leave.
The three men left and Randy had a death glare on his face, he watched as the three men left and went after them. Dean had split up to see his sister.
"Dean, hold up a minute" Randy called to the other champion.
"What do you want Randy? I got some place to be" The US Champion told him.
"Off to see the little one?" He gave a small smirk. "Her name is …Sarah. Right?"
A sharp deadly glare formed in the other man's eyes. How the hell did he find out about Sarah? Dean's blood started to boil as anger fueled him. His fists clenching by his side.
"You son of a-" He was cut off.
"Hunter told me how he kept you in line and he said if need be I can use-" Suddenly he was pinned to the wall, Randy's blue eyes were met by Dean's vicious eyes.
"Look here Orton, you don't threaten me or my family. If you so much as look at her the wrong way let me be clear, if you think Big Show's your problem now he'll be the very least of you're worries if you mess with my sister. Do I make myself clear?" Dean's tone was deadly and cold.
"Were clear now get the hell off me"
Dean shoved him back and left going to see his sister, one vow he made nobody would ever hurt his beloved baby sister as long as he was around. After a short walk to the Usos locker room, the door opened and Jey passed her back over gently.
"Thanks, guys" Dean thanked them.
"Any time Uce," They said in unison.
As the dirty blonde champion walked with his sister in his arms, the anger he once had disappeared. Her face looked soft and angelic minus the flushed red cheeks and sweat clinging to her forehead dampening her hair.
She briefly stirred. "D'e?" She mumbled, eyes slowly opening.
A soft smile appeared as he watched her gripping his shirt again trying to get comfortable. "It's alright sweetheart, go to sleep," He tells her softly, kissing her head. "Nobody will ever hurt you as long as I'm here"
