The night was cool, as Seth Rollins stood on the balcony of his hotel room starring at the city lights. As he did, he sighed shakily, before he angrily wiped away the silent tears that fell again. His life had spun completely out of control and all he could do was stand helplessly by and watch it happen. He sighed again, before he went and sat down on one of the chairs, as he thought about his life and how screwed up it was!
Months ago his life was normal, busy thanks to his job as an FBI Agent, but it was simpler! Everything changed though, when Seth and his best friend...brother and partner Roman Reigns, were asked by the local Police to come help them take down one of the most ruthless, feared, powerful, violent Crime Families ever The Authority; who were led by a husband and wife team named Hunter Helmsley and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. When they agreed to help, neither knew how much their lives would be changed forever; all because of two Authority members Dean Ambrose and Paige!
The four of them over time became so close, becoming a family; Roman and Dean fell in love first, before Seth and Paige did too. The four of them had been through so much together; including Dean and Paige leaving The Authority, and finding out Dean was Stephanie's younger brother; they had the same father, as well as many other things. Dean and Paige leaving The Authority caused the four of them a lot of problems...it still did; The Authority not willing to just let their two top people walk away without a fight! To prove this they kidnapped Dean, faking his death making Roman, Paige and Seth believe he was dead! They eventually discovered he was still alive and being held captive in Hawaii, so the trio went after him, which led to a shoot out between them and The Authority. During the shoot out Dean had been shot and seriously wounded by another FBI Agent named Thomas Ford; who hated Roman and Seth and wanted to get rid of them for long time. After Dean was shot, Ford too was shot and killed by Hunter for revenge.
Dean survived, but their struggle wasn't over! While Dean was in the hospital, one of the co-heads of the FBI; Special Agent Ben Reed, came to Hawaii and spoke to Roman and Seth. He took over the case and became suspicious of Dean and Paige thanks to a call from Bray Wyatt; the leader of The Authority's rival Crime Family named the Wyatt Family, who had caused the four of them a lot of problems too. While Reed tried to figure out what was going on, Wyatt wanting revenge sent Reed a picture of Dean and Paige proving they were part of The Authority, which then led to Reed arresting Dean and Paige.
After they were arrested, Roman and Seth went to the station and tried to see them, but after an argument with Reed they were suspended and told to stay away from Dean and Paige. Two days later, they waited until Reed had left the station, before they went there and lying to Officer Micheals; a young Officer who idolized Roman and Seth and had become their friend, they got a face to face meeting with Dean and Paige. They talked to them for a few minutes, briefly telling them what happened; purposely leaving out their suspension though. They were interrupted, when a furious Reed burst in breaking the meeting up and told them to stay away from Dean and Paige or he'd fire them and throw them into jail too.
Three days later, Seth was alone in their room while Roman searched for the Wyatt family. While he was alone he received a phone call from the last person he ever thought he'd hear from...Hunter! Hunter told him that The Authority not only knew that Dean and Paige were in jail, but that Seth and Roman were suspended. He then told Seth that The Authority wanted them out of jail as much as Roman and Seth did; for different reasons though. At first Seth refused to talk to him, but Hunter was able to convince him to at least meet with him the next day and discuss things. Seth didn't tell Roman about the call or meeting though, knowing how Roman would react.
The next day Roman went to the station to talk to Reed and try to convince him to let him talk to Dean and Paige. While he was gone, Hunter arrived and they talked, but before Seth could give Hunter his answer about whether or not they'd work with The Authority, Roman returned. Roman was furious and confronted them, Hunter explained what was going on, Roman refused and after telling him off he threw Hunter out. After he was gone, Roman fought with Seth about everything, he begged Seth to wait, give him a chance to figure something out first before he agreed to work with The Authority. Seth agreed, giving his brother two days to think of something, before he called Hunter to agree. Over the next two days, Seth hoped Roman would figure something out, but when time ran out and Roman still had nothing, Seth called Hunter telling him he was in! Seth met up with Hunter to go over their plan, a little after Roman showed up and agreed to join forces with The Authority too.
Their plan, which was set to go tomorrow was simple, Roman and Seth were to go to the station and speak to Reed; giving them an alibi. While they did that, Hunter's two new guys on the Police force were to destroy all the evidence on Dean and Paige; including the picture from Wyatt. Then the two Agents; brought in by Seth and Roman named Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, both of whom gladly agreed without hesitation to help The Authority, were to come to the station. Once there they were to tell Reed that they were going to take Dean and Paige to court. After getting Dean and Paige, they were to drive them to a meeting spot and wait for Hunter, Seth and Roman to arrive.
Seth hated having to work with The Authority, but they had no choice if they wanted to get Dean and Paige back! The only thing Seth did regret about the entire thing was that Seth and Roman's relationship was broken! They didn't talk; if they did it was only to fight, and Roman avoided him, it killed him, he missed Roman and wished things were different. His thoughts were interrupted by his phone going off, he sighed as he took it out of his pocket and answered it, without looking at the number.
"Hello?"
"If it isn't one of my favorite Double Agents!"
"What do you want Hunter?" Seth asked, not in the mood to deal with his crap.
"Is that any way to talk to your business partner?" Hunter asked. "Anyway, I'm calling to make sure you and Agent Muscle-Head are ready to go tomorrow?"
"We already told you we are! Are you and your men?" Seth countered.
"Always, Agent Pretty Boy!" Hunter answered. "If everyone does what we planned, then this will be quick, easy and our two favorite troublemakers will be out of jail and back home where they belong!"
"Yeah, with their family!" Seth added, meaning himself and Roman.
"Exactly!" Hunter replied. "Don't screw this up Rollins!" Hunter added, before he hung up.
"That Hunter?" Roman asked from behind Seth.
"Yeah." Seth answered hanging up, as he stood and faced him.
"Anything wrong?"
"No, he just wanted to make sure we're ready to go tomorrow." Seth answered.
Roman nodded, but said nothing, instead he turned and walked away, Seth quickly followed. That was the most Roman's said to him without fighting in days and Seth didn't want it to end.
"Roman, wait please!"
"What Seth?" Roman asked sighing, as he stopped and faced him.
"I think it's time we..."
"No! Seth, every part of me is completely against this whole thing! We don't have a choice though, I get it, but you and I are doing this for different reasons! I'm doing this for Dean and Paige, you...you're doing this for revenge against the damn bureau! I feel like I don't even know you anymore Seth, I'm sorry." Roman said sadly, before he went into his room.
"Yeah, so am I Ro." Seth said sadly, as he wiped away another tear.
