                                      "What the f*ck is going on?!" Dean stated in anger as he watched Finn enter Shadow's locker room. "Come on man. It can't be what you're thinking. Maybe it's so they can talk about a part of the story line. We still don't know it in full. Maybe Finn has a role to play in it." Seth suggested with a slight frown. "Yeah besides, this is Marie, my little sister we're talking about. She would never do something like that to you. When she says she loves someone, she means it." Roman stated with a gruff tone of voice. Dean huffed, "I know Rome. I know. I don't want to think it was, but I can't help it. You saw how sketchy that looked." "I know and I'll admit it does appear sketchy, but let's wait till we see him leave and question her alright? No jumping to conclusions. If you go storming in thee and it's not what it appears, then she'll take off and you'll never see her again. She won't take lightly to that." Roman stated with a serious face. "Alright, fine we'll wait."

Dean hopped up beginning to pace back and forth. "It's been 10 minutes already. What the h*ll are they doing that would that that long?!" Seth stood up to put a comforting hand on Dean's shoulder. Just as he did, the door to Shadow's locker room opened and Finn stepped out before the door shut again. Roman hopped up, "Guys Finn just left, let's go."

*Knock knock...knock* Shadow recognized that as the sequence that her boys used the last time they stopped by. She made her way to the door opening it, "Hey-" "I like honesty and so do you, so be honest with me now, why was Bálor sneaking out of your locker room just now?" Dean stated as he came marching passed her and into the room. Shadow had to take a moment to process what just happened and what was asked of her. Her face hardened, "Are you trying to insinuate something?' She asked with a dark tone. Dean knew he was coming on a bit too strong and decided he needed to take a calming breath, before he did something he would most definitely regret. "I'm not insinuating anything, because I don't want to ever think of you in that way, but tell me it wouldn't look strange if you saw your girlfriend checking both ways before letting another man into her locker room?" Dean asked almost desperately. Shadow's eyes widened, before she said, "I understand how that could look bad and I would probably want to jump to the same conclusion if the roles were reversed. It's nothing like that though." She took a sip of water before again sitting on the couch like earlier. "I met Finn earlier today as Marie. I was doing some shopping when a group of guys surrounded me on my way back to the hotel. They were harassing me and one even grabbed my arm when Finn showed up. They wouldn't leave me alone so me and Finn kicked their asses and I bought him food as a thank you. While walking back to the hotel, we got to know each other and noticed we have a lot in common. He walked me to my room to make sure I got there safely. We were having a good conversation though so I asked if he'd like to come in while I worked on something and he ate. That's what we did for a while, and I asked him advice for something for you that I had in mind. After he finished eating and talking, he left to get ready for the show. I finished what I was working on and came here." Dean let out a somewhat relieved sigh, "OK that explains how you met, but what about just now?" "After our segment together, I was headed back here when I was again bumped into. Finn accidentally recognized me by my voice. I didn't want him running around telling everyone so I pulled him inside to explain. Besides, he's my friend and he seemed upset that he didn't know."
