Chapter 14
At Reigns' manor, William had just made Roman a sandwich in the kitchen.
"I don't know what to do.." Roman told William.
"Look.. I know he is your friend but a lot has changed since high school. People change." William told him.
"Maybe I should talk to him." Roman suggested.
"And tell him what? That you're sneaking around town in a mask trying to be some kind of vigilante?" William asked.
Roman thought it over for a moment before Becky suddenly walked into the room.
"Wow. I should have know it was you." Becky said as she walked in.
Roman and William watched as she walked right over and took a bite of Roman's sandwich.
"How uh.. How much of that did you hear?" Roman asked.
"I heard enough." Becky told him with a mouth full of food.
"And how did you even get in here?" William asked in confusion.
Becky smiled and sat down with them.
"So what is this.. You think you're superman or something?" Becky laughed.
Roman looked down in embarrassment.
"I'm just trying to look out for my city." Roman told her.
Becky rolled her eyes.
"You really think anyone in this city deserves that? I mean come on.. No one in this city is worth risking your life for. That's just stupid." Becky said as she took another bite of his sandwich.
"I'm not like you, okay? I actually care about something other than myself." Roman told her.
William watched the two's interaction awkwardly.
"I might be selfish but at least I know how to make it on my own. You walk around like you're some tough guy but in reality you got you're butler over here looking out for you. You're just another rich boy that can't handle himself." Becky smarted off.
Roman was a little take back by her honesty.
"Well why don't you show me then?" Roman asked.
William looked at him in confusion.
"Show you what?" Becky asked.
"You're right.." Roman thought out loud.
"She is?" William asked.
"We've been training for a year and the other night was my first time actually be out there and having to fight for myself. I need to get out there and learn the ways of the streets." Roman said.
Becky couldn't help but chuckle..
"Okay, tough guy.. You want me to teach you the ways of the streets?" Becky laughed.
"I do actually." Roman said, not understanding what was so funny.
"Fine.. What's in it for me?" Becky asked.
William shook his head as Becky.
"What do you mean?" Roman asked.
"I'm not going to help you if there's nothing in it for me.." Becky told him.
Roman thought to himself for a moment.
"Okay, I'll help you. We'll figure out what you can do for me in turn later. Thanks for the sandwich, old man." Becky said before getting up.
As Becky left the room, Roman let out a small laugh. William stared at Roman blankly.
"She's a vulgar little thing, that one." William thought out loud.
At Sasha's house, she and Alexa were just finishing their ramen noodles. Sasha sat on the counter while Alexa said at the table.
"Wow.. That was amazing." Alexa told her.
"I can't believe you've never had ramen noodles before." Sasha laughed.
"Another downside to being a basic rich girl." Alexa joked.
Sasha looked up at her for a moment before they shared a laugh.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" Alexa asked suddenly.
"Sure." Sasha said as their laughing slowed.
"What's with the flannel? Why do you always wear it around your waist like that?" Alexa asked.
Sasha looked down uncomfortably for a moment.
"It was my fathers.." Sasha said with hesitance.
Alexa felt a sense of guilt come over her..
"Oh, I'm so sorry-." Alexa began to say.
"It's okay.. You don't have to apologize." Sasha told her.
Alexa and Sasha looked at each other with a a mutual understanding. Then suddenly, Sasha's mother walked in the door. Sasha jumped off the counter and Alexa stood up as Angie took notice of Alexa.
"Mom, I-." Sasha tried to say.
"Alexa McMahon." Angie said with an unsettling feeling in her stomach.
"We were working on a school project." Sasha blurted out.
"I think I should probably go." Alexa said as she grabbed her things in a hurry.
Sasha gave her an apologetic look as Alexa rushed to the door. Angie turned and looked back at Sasha with disappointment as Alexa left the house.
"That girl if not welcome in this house." Angie told her carefully.
"She was just-." Sasha began to say.
"I don't care, Sasha! That family took everything from us! She is not welcome in this house.. not now, not ever." Angie told her before storming off.
Later that evening, everyone was gathered at the Kahn's mansion. Cody and Brandi looked around the small crowd gathering around the backyard. Brodie Lee stood with Evil Uno and Stu Grayson by his sides. Jericho stood with Santanna, Ortiz, Jake Hager and Sammy Guvara surrounding him. Kenny Omega and Adam Page stood with with Nick and Matt Jackson off to the side as Dustin Rhodes walked out and joined them. Then Sami Calihan arrived with Madman Fulton and Dave and Jake Crist behind him.
"Okay.. I think you all know why you're here tonight." Cody began to say.
Everyone looked around at each other cautiously.
"We're going to war people." Brandi told everyone.
That's when Dean walked in through the back in a black hoodie. The crowd split in two and let Dean make his way through.
"We weren't sure if you were going to make it, Ambrose." Cody said.
Dean looked at Sami then back to Cody and Brandi.
"I hear you guys are wanting to move product into the Ridge.. You know that's off limits." Dean told him.
"Yeah.. We know that. But it seems the McMahon's have disregarded your little arrangement." Cody told him.
"What are you trying to say?" Dean asked.
Brandi stepped forward.
"Apparently they've made a few changes in leadership over there.. We don't know whose taken over things but whoever it is clearly doesn't have any respect for you." Brandi told him.
"Up until this point we've all stuck to the rules. You supply everyone, the McMahon's sell product to their people in West Falls, we supply our people here in the Valley District, and no one sells in the Ridges." Cody told him.
Dean tried to contain his anger.
"Let me get this straight.. You're telling me that the McMahon's are selling in Ridges?" Dean asked.
"That's the word on the street.. And we're already going to war man. I think it's about time you chose what side you wanna be on in all of this." Cody told him.
