Dean was walking to his room when he heard a yip, turning around he was surprised to see Kevin, Seth's Yorkie, running toward him.
"Hey, buddy," he cooed, bending down to pick up the whimpering furball. "What're you doing here? Where's your daddy?" Seth adored Kevin and would never let him wander the hotel by himself, especially since he'd been hit by a car and couldn't see very well.
Deciding that Kevin must've snuck out Seth's room, Dean headed down the hall. As he approached the room, he heard Joey and Jamie arguing, and from the sounds of it, Kevin had gotten away from Jamie and they were trying to figure out what to do.
Now Dean was on the horns of a dilemma, he could take Kevin back to his room and let J&J and Seth stew for awhile. Seth certainly deserved some grief for all the shit he'd pulled over the last year. The Moxley side of him liked the idea of letting Seth think that Kevin was missing. It would also make Joey and Jamie look really bad in Seth's eyes, a win-win.
The Jonathan side, however, urged him to not do that. Yes, Seth had become a backstabbing, first class prick, but Kevin was his baby. Dean knew how terrified and upset Seth had been when Kevin had been hit by a car and they weren't sure he was going to survive. No, Jonathan urged, take Kevin back, Seth would be grateful and it might ease some of the lingering tension between them.
Moxley and Jonathan argued about it, but in the end, Jonathan won out, if for no other reason than Dean couldn't bring himself to be that mean to anyone, including Seth.
That left J&J. Telling Seth that his trusted bodyguards had let his precious, half-blind dog get away and wander the hotel, would definitely piss Seth off, but again, Jonathan won out. Jamie and Joey might be meddling toadies, but they were only doing their jobs, and quite honestly, the fact that neither of them had punched Seth in the face with way he treated them, made Dean want to cut them some slack.
Okay, so now he had to think of a way to return Kevin without revealing J&J's incompetent dogsitting. Suddenly getting an idea, he rushed back to his room.
"Hey, babe, can I borrow Pumpkin real quick?"
Renee looked up from the book she was reading, "Why do you want to borrow Pumpkin?" Her frown deepened as she saw what Dean was holding. "Why do you have Kevin?"
"I'll explain later," Dean assured her. "Can I borrow him, it'll just be for a second."
Renee gave him a look, "Okay, but you'd better tell me as soon you get back."
Dean grinned and scooped up Pumpkin before rushing out to do his good deed for his backstabbing prick of an ex-best friend.
The End
