As Colby and Tasha walked into the arena in Corpus Christi, they had no idea what they were walking into. No one knew what the repercussions were gonna be now that The Authority was back in charge, and Hunter and Stephanie had been playing it pretty close to the chest.
Tasha quickly got changed into her gear, she would be starting out the show with John to address the turn of events that had happened last Monday. Kissing Colby and her daughter she headed out of the locker room to find John.
She found him at gorilla along with nearly the entire roster, all of them chatting amongst themselves as they waited for their cue to head out to the ring. While the lights in the arena were down the superstars made their way down to the ring, hearing the fans screaming and cheering as they noticed them through the darkness.
The pyro went off signaling the start of RAW, the lights coming up to reveal the entire roster in the ring and around ringside. John stood in the center of the ring surrounded by his peers and friends, a microphone in his hand. To his right stood Siren, and behind her guarding protectively were Dean and Roman.
John waited for the cheers and hollering to quiet down before he raised the mic to speak. "The Authority is back in power. And their first order of business was to gather the entire WWE roster down to this very ring, so they could address us face-to-face. But before they do, I'd like to take a moment to apologize— to apologize to all of you, to apologize to all of my co-workers. I think of my word as a bond and I had to go back on my word. And last week, I had to bring The Authority back."
His gaze drifted over to Siren for a moment, who gave him a somber smile in return. She sighed and leaned back feeling Dean's reassuring presence step up behind her, resting a muscular leather covered arm around her shoulders.
"I was given no choice, when Seth Rollins said he would snap Edge's neck, I thought maybe he's bluffing, maybe I could slide in the ring like a superman and save the day in the nick of time, but then I thought maybe I couldn't. And I realized at that moment that the health and well-being of a friend, of a father, and of a husband is much more important than The Authority being back in power. So right now, I wanna make a promise to all of you and I want to make a promise to my co-workers, 2015 is gonna be a very, very tough year."
John didn't get to finish his sentence as Triple H's music kicked on and the power couple of the WWE strolled out on the stage, basking in the hatred flowing their way.
The crowd started booing immediately as Stephanie raised her mic and she laughed. "Oh, but I haven't even said anything yet. I mean, John, that's just not the way to kick off the first show of the year all sad, sad, and sorry. No, no, let me show you how it's done. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night RAW! Now we sincerely hope that all of you had an incredible New Year. I know that my husband and I did, because we knew that we were coming back to do what we were born to do and that's entertain all of you, because we know what's best for you and what's best for business."
Hunter nodded in agreement with his wife, "And that's right. Hey, you know, it was not only—maybe little less than two months ago, we stood in that ring right there and all of you were cheering and laughing because you thought The Authority was gone for good, all due to that face-painted goof, Sting. And what we tell them then, Steph, we told you then, you'd be begging for us to come back. And now, they're not gonna admit it, but that's exactly what they're doing. You were begging for us to come back."
Siren rolled her eyes as she listened to them drown on, she was trying to keep her face annoyed; but Hunter had slipped earlier and mentioned that tonight might be the night that she and Seth come together. So naturally she was excited, but she had to play up her part for the fans.
"And now the show is back on track, where it should have always been, because of one man. That man is the undisputed future of the WWE, that man is Mr. Money in the Bank, the man that you owe all the thanks to, give it up for Seth Rollins."
Now it wasn't so hard for Siren to be annoyed, as he walked out with his signature cocky smirk and hugged the bosses. She could hear him cackling as Stephanie passed him her microphone, the crowd chanting "you sold out" which only made him laugh harder.
"Now, I just wanna say one thing. I wanna say hello to my good friends in yellow up there, John Cena and Siren."
At that moment it seemed like the only three in the ring that couldn't keep a straight face were the remaining members of The Shield. Dean had been smirking and grinning the entire time, because frankly, that was just Dean; he normally wore a smirk even when he was angered to the point of committing murder. But the reason they couldn't keep straight faces was due to Roman standing in between Dean and Siren; he was flexing and rubbing his right hand as he stared up at Seth, and then he casually said…
"God. I really wanna shove my fist down his throat and pull out his spine."
And that had been the point when Siren had to drop her head and hide her face behind her curtain of hair as she laughed out loud. Which then prompted several of the superstars, including Dolph who was standing in front of her to glance at her in confusion. She shook her head at him as she tilted her head up to Roman, "You two have been spending way too much time together."
She gave Dean a pointed look which had him raising his hands up in surrender. "I didn't say anything." This then prompted another set of chuckles throughout the group before they regained their composure.
"John, Siren, let me be the first to say to you, Happy New Year."
As Hunter drawled on about thanking Seth, Siren leaned back over to her Hounds. "I get to punch him first." Which draws chuckles and grins from all three of them.
Triple H then announces as a thank you to Seth Rollins, the championship match at the Royal Rumble between Brock Lesnar and John Cena; would now be a triple threat match including Seth Rollins.
As Seth bounces around the stage like a little kid on Christmas, Stephanie goes on to say that at the end of the night they would be having a "John Cena Appreciation Party;" and John's presence was not optional.
Backstage Siren walked into the locker room finding the guys sitting on the couch watching the Intercontinental Match with Ziggler and Barrett. Kailynn was lying on the floor by the couch coloring in one of her books that Nikki and Brie had gotten her for Christmas.
"Hi momma." The little girl said as she looked up at her mom.
"Hi baby. You hungry?"
"Yeah."
"K. Let's go down to catering and get you something." She held out her hand and waited for her daughter to climb to her feet and place her little hand into her mothers.
As Siren opened the door she heard Seth and Roman arguing about something and she grinned deciding to stoke the playful fire between her boys. "Oh hey Rome. What was it you said about Seth earlier in the ring?"
She saw Roman's gray eyes narrow at her and she smiled, Seth looking curiously between his girlfriend and brother. "What'd he say?"
"Oh, he just said that he'd like to shove his fist down your throat and rip out your spine." She tossed Roman a wink before she walked out and closed the door behind her. Pausing for a moment she listened and snickered as she heard a playful fight erupt between the brothers; followed by Jon's loud raucous laughter.
As she entered catering and started gathering a plate for Kailynn, Siren was tapped on the shoulder; she turned to find a grinning Triple H standing behind her. Her eyes went wide as she figured this was a bad sign. "Oh, this isn't good, is it?"
Hunter rolled his eyes at her as he chuckled, "No, nothing bad. I just wanted to remind you about the ambulance match, what we discussed."
"Yep I remember, and I promise we'll make it look good."
"I have no doubts about that. I just want you to be careful. I know what you're willing to do for this company, and I can't tell you how much we value you. But you need to remember that you're not a superhero, you're not invincible and you have that beautiful little girl to think about." Hunter smiled as he looked down at Kailynn who was munching on a cookie.
"Hi Uncle Paul." She said looking up and giving him a toothy chocolate smile.
He chuckled as he leaned down and picked the little girl up in his arms. "How would you like to come watch the show with me and Auntie Steph?"
The little girl turned her wide brown eyes to her mother, "Can I momma?"
Siren smiled, "Of course."
Siren walked beside Hunter to the office, setting the little girl down before she ran to Stephanie's open arms. Siren set the plate of food down on the desk, Stephanie giving her a wink before she went back to chatting with Kailynn.
Hunter nodded to the little girl as he stood at the door beside Siren. "She's what matters, Tasha."
Siren smiled as she stared lovingly at her daughter, her mini me. "She's the reason why I do it all. She thinks I'm a superhero, Paul. I can't let her down."
Siren walked down the stairs knocking fists with the crowd as the big dog followed behind her. It was these times when she felt untouchable with the massive 265 pound Samoan Hound on her heels. Since the first time she had met Roman Reigns, he had become her protector; she trusted him with her life and he in turn trusted her.
As they climbed into the ring they happened to show Cena's match against JBL at Wrestlemania 31, when he won the Heavyweight Championship, on the titan-tron. Roman leaned down to talk to her, "That's right after you got married wasn't it?"
Siren smiled in remembrance, "Less than an hour after. He worked so hard for that title."
Roman gave her a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, both of them knowing that tonight could possibly her last night here if The Authority decided to fire her; and in no way would she ever blame John for that.
Siren climbed out of the ring as the Big Show came down the ramp and got into the ring, the bell ringing to start to the match. As she expected it was a brutal fight between the two massive men, with each of them battering down on one another. Siren was particularly concerned for Roman's safety as Show stepped down on his stomach and walked over him; everyone knowing that Roman had undergone emergency hernia surgery just a month prior.
The fight then spilled to the outside area where Roman was hit with the steel steps in the head, causing the ref to call for the bell; giving the victory to Roman via disqualification.
Show just shrugged his shoulders not caring about the loss, before he shoved the steel steps inside of the ring. He then picked up Roman and tossed him through the second and third rope back into the ring.
He picked up the steel steps, raising them over his head preparing to slam them down on Roman. But his flippant attitude gave Roman time to recover, getting to his feet and delivering a spear to the giant; which in turn caused Show to drop the stairs onto his own head. Roman got to his feet and gave a roar as Siren climbed into the ring and raised his hand up in victory.
Dean and Siren stepped out onto the stage for the ambulance match, both of them sporting matching grins as they walked down the ramp and climbed into the ring. It was times like this that the WWE Universe got to see just how much alike the two were and how vicious and sick Siren could really be.
As they awaited Bray's entrance Siren took Dean's left hand and fixed the tape on his wrist that had come loose. Knocking fists with him she grinned as she put a finger to his chest. "This lunatic runs the asylum. Show him why."
"You got it boss." Dean smirked giving her a wink before she climbed out of the ring as Bray entered.
As the match-up began Siren tried to mentally prepare herself for what was gonna happen. She had spoken to Bray and Dean about the match last week and they had all agreed, that since it was the first ambulance match on RAW, they were gonna make it a memorable one; and she was an intricate part of that.
By the halfway mark the combatants had already done what they wanted to, they had everyone on the edge of their seats. Siren knew that Seth had to be in the back freaking out, and she hoped that Hunter and Stephanie were not letting her daughter watch this one. She had already been slammed back first against the barricade, ring apron and steel steps; and she could feel her body aching in pain.
As they neared the end of the match Bray had dragged Dean to the side of the stage by the ambulance. The two of them were throwing themselves off of the stage onto one another as Siren gingerly made her way over to the ramp. Dean had managed to toss Bray into the back of the ambulance, but he couldn't muster up the offense to slam the door shut before Bray launched himself back out on top of Ambrose.
Dean managed to fight back into it by delivering a vicious clothesline to Bray, before he picked up the backboard and beat the hell out of Bray with it; as well as using the edge of the backboard to jab Bray in the throat.
He was having trouble walking on his injured left leg as he set up the table and placed Bray on top of it. Siren saw his attention turn to the ambulance and she realized what it was that he wanted to do. She drug herself up onto the stage and reached out taking hold of his hand, pulling him up beside her.
The crowd started cheering and screaming as they saw Dean glance over at the ambulance before crossing his heart; then with Siren's help, they both climbed up onto the top of the ambulance. A deranged smile came over his face as he looked down at Bray, still lying below on the table; before he threw himself off and landed a massive elbow-drop to Bray's stomach.
Siren gasped and covered her mouth as she heard Dean yell out in pain, clutching his left knee, writhing on the floor in agony. She saw Dean starting to rise to his feet, hobbling on his left leg and she knew that he wouldn't be able to protect himself fully from Bray.
Dean managed to get Bray to his feet, but the crazy man recovered just enough to deliver "Sister Abigail," slamming Dean's face off of the back doors.
Siren knew this was her time, so with a cross of her heart she locked eyes with Bray and jumped, wrapping her legs around his neck and planting him with the "Siren's Call." Even though there was carpet on the floor to slightly protect them, it still hurt like a bitch when she landed. She clutched her lower back as she rolled to her feet and leaned down to check on Dean.
"Dean, get up. You gotta get—Ahh!" Siren was grabbed from behind and wrapped in Bray's arm as he crashed her body into the back of the ambulance with "Sister Abigail."
But being as she was further to the side her head impacted with the taillight, her brow bone bouncing off of the edge and immediately splitting open. Blood trickled down into her eye and through the haze of red she saw Bray shove Dean into the back and slam the door. The lights and sirens came on as the ambulance drove off of the arena floor signaling Bray Wyatt as the winner.
Siren made her way behind the curtain finding Seth waiting for her with a scowl on his face. She smiled up at him with the most innocent look that she could muster. "What?"
"Don't you what me." He growled before taking her hand and walking her down to the trainer's office. "You're gonna give me a heart attack." He said before looking over at the trainer's, "Take care of her. She stays here until I get back."
"Aye-aye captain." Siren smirked as she saluted him. Seth kissed her lips lightly before he left the room, she then nodded to the doctor's. "All right, fix me up boys."
"He's right Siren, you are crazy." The head doc said to her.
She grinned up at him, "All the best people are."
Siren was watching Seth's match-up with Ryback, which had become a handicap match after Kane announced that he would be teaming with Rollins. She shook her head as she saw Seth smirking, she had never wanted to kiss him and punch him at the same time.
Her attention turned to the door as it opened and Roman came in with Dean at his side, both men were pretty beat up from the night as they sat down on the trainer's bed beside her.
"I wanna punch him." Dean commented as he watched Seth beat down on Ryback.
"Me too." Roman added.
"She looks like she wants to kiss him." Dean snickered drawing a middle finger from Siren.
"Actually she looks like she wants to do both." Roman laughed.
As they watch the match wind down with Seth taking a huge backdrop from Ryback, Dean made a comment about Seth's now infamous hair. "Is he ever gonna grow that shit out?"
Siren nodded, "Yeah. He said was gonna let it grow out now. He's sick of it."
"I think he's more sick of the jokes we all make at his expense." Roman laughs.
"That too." Siren laughed.
Right after the final match Siren changed into one of her own shirts; after checking the butterfly bandages over her right eye she made her way up to gorilla where Dolph, Ryback and Rowan were standing. They were supposed to go out to the ring in a few minutes for the party with The Authority.
"If I'm already getting fired, does that mean I can punch Stephanie in the face?" She commented to the guys as they watched on the monitor, causing them all to laugh.
When it came time they all walked out one-by-one as Triple H introduced them, walking down and climbing into the ring beside John.
"What I would like to do now is bring out some other people that, quite frankly, if they don't appreciate you yet, by the end of the night; oh, trust me, John, they're gonna appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Ryback. Eric Rowan. Dolph Ziggler. And lest we forget the person that some would call the ringleader of this crazy circus, Siren."
Siren walked down to the ring, her face stoic as she climbed in and stood between John and Dolph, crossing her arms over her chest and cocking her hip out.
"Welcome to John Cena appreciation night. I know all of you probably have great admiration for John Cena. You proved that you have great admiration for John Cena when you unwisely joined his team at Survivor Series. And we told you at the time, that there would be consequences to doing so and quite frankly, the thing is you won. There were gonna be no consequences. You'd won. The Authority was gone. And then, John Cena threw that all away. And he threw you right back into the fire. So, let's get to those consequences."
Hunter walked over and stood in front of the man in the sheep mask. "Let's start with Eric Rowan. Yeah. Steph, Eric Rowan really kind of came into this at the last second though. He wasn't really a big player in this until the very end where he was brought in on some misguided freedom thing. He entered into this match, dare I say it, sheepishly. Now, that being said, Eric, we do have to give you some sort of punishment. We can't let this go. So, what do you think, Steph, maybe 30 days no pay, 30 days suspension? Well, how's that sound? What do you think? Maybe…"
Stephanie raises her mic with a sigh, "Well, Rowan, 30 days no pay. I mean, what are we gonna do for Ryback, the turncoat. You know, the power hungry big guy. The one who had joined Team Authority and then turned his back on us to, as you said earlier, unwisely joined Team Cena. I mean, that repercussion should be, what, at least double."
"Well, yeah. If you're gonna give Rowan 30, you gotta give him at least 60 days off with no pay… but if you're gonna go 60 days for Ryback though for turning like—I mean, what are you gonna do for Dolph Ziggler? I mean, Dolph Ziggler put the final nail in the coffin. Well, with the help of the painted up goose, Sting. But you put the final nail in the coffin. So, I mean, if he's gonna get 30 days, he's gonna get 60 days, I mean Dolph would get what? You got any thoughts?"
Dolph shook his head as Triple H held the mic out to him, "90 days."
Hunter and Stephanie then conversed between themselves for a moment, all the while climbing out of the ring. Siren wasn't stupid she knew what was happening, there was only one reason why they were distancing themselves from the men in the ring; they didn't want to ambushed and beaten down when they made their final statement.
As Hunter got to the top of the ramp with his wife he smiled at them, "I think you're right Steph."
"Yep, there's just one thing." Stephanie said before a wide smile graced her face. "Well, we've come to our decision and instead of suspending you, Dolph, Ryback, Rowan, you're all fired!"
Siren was floored as she stood beside John, not that she was surprised at all by the announcement; and glancing over she could see the devastation on his face as he realized what his actions had caused.
"Oh, Steph, I think we're forgetting one person." Hunter said as his attention settled on the brunette in the ring. "Siren. We all know that you were the real mastermind behind this entire thing. But don't worry, we're not going to fire you."
"No, no." Stephanie added with a shake of her head. "In fact we're gonna reward you."
"Reward me?" Siren said glancing nervously at John.
"That's right." Hunter said taking over. "We're gonna take some responsibility and weight off of your shoulders. As of this moment, you are no longer a manager to John Cena, Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose."
Siren was beside herself as she heard this, her eyes flashing with fire as the WWE Universe voiced their disapproval of this decision.
Stephanie clapped her hands and smiled, "Yep. You only have one client to worry about now… and that… is Mr. Money in the bank, Seth Rollins!"
Siren was livid at this announcement, she sprung forward towards the ropes screaming at Triple H and Stephanie; and even without a mic she was positive they heard her. "Fuck that! You fire me! I will not work with that two-toned, traitorous, latex-wearing sell-out!"
Triple H merely smiled at her outburst, "Welcome to The Authority, Siren."
"And you can all thank and appreciate John Cena, the man standing behind you for losing your livelihoods in that very ring here tonight." Stephanie said with a pointed look at John.
"John, you've successfully made three men lose their livelihoods, thrown your best friend to the wolves and you have reinstated The Authority. Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for John Cena!"
Siren couldn't handle it as music started playing, confetti and balloons fell from the sky and mostly the heartbroken look on John's face as he stared at the three other men in the ring.
After RAW had went off the air Tasha made her way up the ramp to the backstage area, her scowl was instantly replaced with a bright smile as she ran up to Colby and jumped into his arms. He laughed as he caught her, her legs wrapping around his waist as he kissed her.
"We did it." She whispered against his lips.
"Yes we did. 7 long months to get here. But you still gotta act like you hate me a little longer." He smirked.
"I don't care, I get to be seen with you now, even if I'm pretending not to hurl." She laughed giving him a wink.
Colby set her down as Ryback, Dolph, Eric and John came through the curtain finally. Tasha turned to them with a smile, "Have a nice paid vacation. Fuckin' slackers."
Nick laughed as he gave her a hug, "Hey if you weren't so chummy with two-tone you could be having a vacation to."
Tasha shook her head as she glanced up at Colby, "Naw, I'm good. You have fun filming your movie though."
"Oh, you know it. Got any tips for me?" Nick asked her.
"If they'll let you, try to do as many of your own stunts as you can. It makes it more realistic and it's a lot of fun."
"I'll do that."
They all turned as Paul and Stephanie walked up clapping for them. "Well done, all of you. We couldn't be more pleased with how tonight turned out. You fellas enjoy your vacations."
"Just to clarify we are still employed right?" Eric said with a chuckle, you never could be too cautious around here.
Stephanie laughed, "Yes you are. Like Paul said, enjoy your vacations and we'll let you know exactly when you'll make your returns." After the guys had taken their leave Stephanie turned back to Colby and Tasha. "So, I expect you two to travel together, but in the public eye you still have to keep your game faces on, alright?"
"You got it, boss." Tasha said with a smile. "Thank you both, so much for this."
Stephanie smiled in return as she gave Tasha a hug, "You're so welcome."
"This is gonna make for some good TV." Paul commented as he pointed between Colby and Tasha. "And speaking of, you two have a promo to do right now for WWE Exclusive."
The two of them nodded before they headed off to where the camera crew was awaiting them, taking their positions and waiting for the signal.
"And action!"
Siren was seething as she made her way down the halls towards the locker room, she vaguely heard someone running up behind her and calling out her name.
"Siren! Siren!"
A hand on her arm sent her whipping around where she came face-to-face with none other than Mr. Money in the Bank himself, Seth Rollins, the source of her rage right now.
Seth was taken aback as he saw the fire and hatred burning in her eyes as she glared at him.
"What this your idea, Rollins?" She snapped.
He didn't reply and a second later his eyes went wide as Siren fisted a hand in his shirt and slammed his back against the wall; he was shocked at the strength she possessed and more at the fist that was pulled back ready to knock him in the mouth.
"Was it!?" She yelled.
Seth dropped his head, letting his eyes fall to the floor as he answered her softly, his voice just barely above a whisper. "Yes."
Siren was surprised at his gentle tone of voice and the fact that his body had basically just went lax, he was giving her the opportunity to beat him senseless; but at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She lowered her arm, unclenching her fist as she released his shirt and backed up from him.
"Why? Why couldn't you just let them fire me?"
Seth raised his head chancing a look into her Cobalt eyes, "Because I know what this job means to you. I know what this company means to you. I'm sorry. I couldn't stand by and let them take that from you."
Siren sighed as the anger inside of her subsided, she leaned against the wall opposite of him. "Honestly, I don't even know what this company means to me anymore, Seth." She admitted, her face downtrodden and conflicted.
"Then let's change it. You and me, just like we did 3 years ago." He offered as he stepped in front of her.
"There's only one problem with that." She replied as she shoved herself off of the wall and stood before him. "You're not the same guy you were 3 years ago. Let's get one thing straight, Rollins. I may have no choice in this matter, I may have to work for The Authority, but I don't have to pretend I like it, and I certainly don't have to pretend that I like you. I don't trust you anymore."
She brushed past him and started down the hall when Seth called to her, "Wait! Aren't you traveling with me?"
Siren turned around with a grin, "Let's clarify something, Rollins. I'm your manager, which means you do what I say. And if I have to travel with you, we're doing it in my rig. So I'll see you outside in ten minutes."
"Wait!" He called again making her pause and turn around. "Don't you travel with Reigns and Ambrose?"
"Yep. So you might wanna rethink this arrangement." She smirked before heading down the hall.
The only downfall to Siren and Seth being paired together, is now Roman and Dean were the ones they had to try and sneak around; and with a 265lb Samoan and a lunatic with a loud mouth, that was easier said than done. But they had hope that because of the ending to the promo, the fans would buy that Seth Rollins still wasn't friends with them and that he might just end up beaten to a pulp.
So after gathering up their things Tasha and Colby headed to the doors where she stepped out first and Colby heard her cuss. "Shit." There was a large group of fans gathered by the fence less than 5 feet from her rig, and they had to of seen Joe and Jon go inside. She held up her hand pausing Colby for a moment while she thought up what to do.
A minute later she had come up with something and turned to him. "Okay. There are a ton of fans by the rig, they had to of seen the guys go inside after the show."
"So what should we do?" He asked her.
She quickly pulled out her phone and text Paul, then Joe and Jon. "Okay. I'm gonna walk out first, wait till I get about halfway and then follow. I'll holler at you like you're taking forever, and when you catch up I'll say something that the fans can hear and it'll keep up the rouse. Just try to look freaked out when the door opens."
He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at her last statement as she started walking towards her rig. "Wait, what?" When she reached halfway she stopped and turned back towards him looking annoyed, he had to admit she was one hell of an actress.
"Rollins! Let's go! I swear to everything holy I will leave you here!"
Colby put on his best Seth Rollins smirk as he cockily strolled over towards her, both of them speaking loud enough for the fans to hear. "Oh yeah. The Authority would love to hear that I'm sure."
Tasha's eyes flashed as she stalked up to Colby, putting herself face-to-face with him, to her left she could hear the fans cheering. "Let me make one thing clear, if you annoy or irritate or vex me in any way. I will leave you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Got it!?"
Colby nodded albeit sarcastically, but his swagger deflated in a split second as the rig door opened and his eyes fell on Joe and Jon standing in the doorway. His eyes went wide as they stepped out of the rig revealing themselves to the fans who screamed, several of them cheering thinking there was gonna be a throw-down in the parking lot.
Joe rubbed his hands together grinning, "Look who it is, Deano. The sell-out."
Jon cracked his knuckles as he stared menacingly at Colby, "This drive just got a lot more interesting."
Colby glanced nervously at Tasha who stepped in front of the two men patting their chests. "Down boys. Not when there are witnesses."
She walked inside the rig and Colby swallowed the lump in his throat, hopefully his friends didn't decide to beat him for real just to make it look good.
As Daryl drove them to the next town the three men along with Tasha and Renee toasted a round of beers in the back; but tried to be quiet as Kailynn was asleep in the bedroom thanks to Renee.
Tasha stood up to address her friends and boyfriend, "Thank you to all of you for your help in getting Cole and I to this point, we couldn't have done it without you. Especially you, D." She laughed giving props to her friend and driver, she then held her glass up. "To a job well done."
They all touched glasses before Colby added something. "And here's to the no doubt, tons of fun we're gonna have with this storyline."
"Here-here." They all cheered.
