River Haven

Chapter 2

At Hunter and Stephanie McMahon's house, everyone was meeting at the dining table. Hunter and Stephanie sat at each side of the table with their daughter Alexa and Stephanie's brother Shane sitting to the left. To the right sat Seth Rollins and Adam Cole.

"I am just saying that lately it seems like maybe the Undisputed Era isn't being valued here anymore." Adam explained.

Seth glanced down and tried to bite his tongue while Stephanie took a sip of her coffee.

"Don't be ridiculous, Adam. You are valued here just as you have always been." Hunter assured him.

Adam stared at Hunter for a moment, not sure if he could believe him.

"We haven't been asked to do a job in months." Adam added.

"What are you suggesting?" Stephanie asked.

"I think someone else has been working for you." Adam told them.

Stephanie let out a small laugh.

"We actually have a job for you tonight. We will all be attending the event tonight at Reigns Enterprize. We want you and the boys to keep your eyes open in case shit goes down." Hunter told him.

Shane furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"What would be going down?" Alexa asked.

Hunter and Stephanie got quiet for a moment.

"It's River Haven, sweetheart. Shit's always going down, isn't it?" Seth asked with a slight smirk on his face.

In a van parked in an alley behind an abandoned building downtown, Carmella VanDale was broadcasting the latest episode of The Defiance podcast.

"Is it just me or does it seem like all anyone in this town cares about is the cities wealthiest families? I mean I guess not all wealthy families because the death of Sefina Reigns is still being covered up by River Haven PD. But hey.. she was the only person in history to will a mayoral election without the endorsement of a McMahon or Kahn Family member, she must have been asking for it right? How stupid do the police think we are? There is obviously a deep rooted cover up going on here and I am warning you now, The Defiance will not rest until the truth comes out and-." Carmella said before Mike Mizanin burst open the van door.

"RFPD!" Mike yelled.

"What the hell is going on?" Carmella asked as Mike grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the van.

"Carmella Van Dale, you're under arrest." Mike said as he handcuffed her.

That morning at River Haven High, Sasha Banks was sitting on the entrance steps waiting for her best friend, Bayley. Sasha was wearing her usual denim jeans with combat boots and a black tank top. An old red and white flannel jacket was tied around her waist. Her nose was pierced and a black beanie cover her long, black curly hair. When a black Cadillac pulled into the school, Sasha looked up to find Alexa McMahon getting out. Sasha watched her with disdain for a moment while she observed her usual queen bee attire. Alexa wore a blue mini skirt and a tight white long sleeve top. Her red lips and a pair of black high heels complemented her look. Sasha couldn't help but be irritated by Alexa's beautifully long, blonde hair. When Peyton Royce and Billie Kay approached Alexa, Sasha rolled her eyes. Those three were your typical high school mean girls, and Alexa was their queen bee.

"You know you don't have to hate her just because she's a McMahon, right?" Bayley asked as she approached Sasha from behind.

Sasha turned around to find Bayley wearing just a simple pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. She smiled at her best friend and admired the way her hair looked in a pony tail.
