Summary: What happens when a hot headed young Ranger and an amazing Tag team team up to catch a bad guy? What a tangled web we will be weaving!
"...And after
placing the suspect under arrest, as officer in charge, I read the
suspect his Miranda rights and placed him in the FBI's custody."
The clacking of keys stopped and blue eyes skimmed over the last six
pages of the report. "Finally," she said and hit the print
button. She stood, stretched and headed over to the coffee pot, which
incidentally was right next to the printer.
"Morning cub,"
a deep voice said from behind her just as she started to drink her
coffee causing her to jump and spin around.
"Uncle Cordell,"
she sputtered and swiped at spilled coffee.
"I have a case I
need to discuss with you," Walker advised her. He outlined the
problems that the wrestling promotion NWA-TNA was having and told her
what he wanted her to do.
The young brunette looked at her Uncle
Cordell Walker, "You're kidding right, you want me and Syd to go
undercover to protect some spoiled little rich wrestling brat."
Now
Cordy, you know this was what was gonna be requested of you when you
joined the Rangers," her uncle reminded her.
"Bite me;
I'm not doing it," Cordy declared.
Walker looked at his niece
as one of the men from TNA walked in. "You've been spending too
much time with Wolf, you know that Cub?"
"Every time I
don't do what you want me to you say that," Cordy smirked
"Ooh
yeah, sounds like Jimmy will love her," a new voice said,
causing Cordy to spin around and come face to chest with a black
T-shirt covered, well muscled chest.
"Chris Harris, I'd like
you to meet my niece, Cordy Walker," Walker said as Cordy craned
her neck to meet the laughing eyes of one of the men she would be
traveling with.
"So who's Jimmy and who's the brat?"
Cordy asked Walker.
"Jimmy is his tag team partner and the
brat is Jimmy's niece Amara, somebody wants her out of the way,
permanently," Walker said.
"Okay so I take it that I'm
going in as some T&A for this promotion," she huffed.
"Funny
you should put it that way," Cat spun around and
tilted her head, "First off Harris, don't start, I just got back
and I was hoping for some down time, but no...Secondly, I do know
how to fight so I'm not going to be a itty bitty fluff head who
just pulls hair. Got me," she hissed.
"She's like a wet
Tabby-cat, isn't she," Cat said laconically to Walker.
Cordy
stomped on his foot hard. "I'm Still Here Hillbilly, so don't
talk over my head!"
She turned to Walker, "You even
think about answering that question and I'll Put White Eagle's
special Medicine in a certain area of your clothing, See if I don't,"
she said then went to get her bags ready.
"She'll be fine,
she just gets hot headed over silly things like no down time between
cases. I am sure she'll have a blast and do a stellar job too. I wish
I could send Ranger Wolf with you too, but I need her for a specific
case," Walker sighed. "Poor things, they both just came off
one undercover assignment and have to jump into another one. But
don't worry; I know Cordy can handle it."
"If that
little stomp on my toes was anything I don't think TNA is ready for
her yet," Cat said as he sat down and rubbed his instep. "Walker,
there is something else; we're going have to come up with a cover
story to get her in."
"Easiest would be her coming in as
your girlfriend, or someone who you are training to be a wrestler,"
Walker said.
"Well either one would work, but why not both?
Say that she's tired of being at home alone and she wants to be with
me so she started training." Cat suggested.
"Works for me,
and I'm sure she'll go along with that. But I will warn you, I'll
come down on both of you if things get out of hand. This is a case,
so remember this isn't real, and I don't want my ranger getting hurt
because she's being distracted by a lover's spat," Walker
warned.
"I understand, besides I don't think she'll ever see
me as anything other than a case that dragged her butt outta her down
time." Cat chuckled.
"Eh you might be surprised,"
Walker chuckled.
At that moment Trivette walked in with Sydney and
the papers Walker needed. "Okay who pissed The Wolf cub off,"
Syd asked.
"That would have been a joint effort of my
partner and me," Cat volunteered raising a hand.
Syd just
shook her head and looked at Walker, "So I'm going on this case
with Cordy, god knows what'll happen if she gets in the
rin..." she trailed off at Trivette's hand signal.
Cordy
grabbed the rest of her stuff and sighed, muttering to herself, "All
I wanted was three days at home in my apartment," then smiled at
a picture of her and Kevin Von Erich at the Dallas Sportatorium where
she had been trained, the only other people who knew that were
Trivette and Syd. She calmed down and walked back towards the
squad..."Okay when do we leave," she asked more sedately.
"We can head out in the morning, that way you can get a
night's sleep in your own bed, and we can fly out tomorrow," Cat
said. "The federation I wrestle for is going to be coming back
to Dallas in two weeks. Then we'll be traveling in Texas for the
month. That is one of the reasons we requested help from the
Rangers."
"Okay but one more thing. Uncle Cordell, get a
hold of Trent and Carlos. They may not be rangers but they are good
undercover men," Cordy said, "and I want Carlos and Trent to
work with us on this case. They're good at what they do," she
said staring at her uncle hard.
"That's funny; because
Trent and Carlos are already there," said Walker, "Seems like the
girl that is being stalked was followed here in Dallas and ran into
Trent and Carlos at the Dojo."Cordy sighed and Cat and Walker
brought her up to speed on the rest of what would be required of
her.
She went home and crashed, sleeping for ten hours. She headed
out the next day and dove headfirst into the world of wrestling.
It
had been a rough night for the young woman everyone called Lil'
Storm. From the new wrestlers to finding the pictures taken of her at
her apartment getting undressed, it was frightening and confusing.
She sighed as she got all of her shower stuff ready, it had been a
long night and she'd been pounced in the ring a couple of times.
She unsnapped her jeans and slowly took them off folding them up and
placing them on the table with her wallet and money, she was relieved
that tonight had not required her to be as scantily dressed as usual.
She wasn't body shy, but those pictures had freaked her out; how
had they been taken when she pulled the shades and had been inside
her bedroom. Next off came the shirt followed by her undergarments,
she wrapped a towel around herself, not that it covered much. She
pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and headed towards the shower
area just as the door opened.
"Amara are you...Holy
shit," Vaughn said seeing his girlfriend in a state of undressed
was unusual enough, but what he didn't count on was the scream then a
fist to the face and a groin kick.
Amara had struck with out
thinking. She threw a right hook then racked the male coming in the
room hard. When she finally calmed down she looked down and saw the
love of her life.
"Chris, oh god baby I'm sorry," she
whimpered. She looked up at the door opening and a new voice and
screamed before running for cover, "GET OUT OF HERE YOU
PERVERT," she screamed at the now mystified Trent who quickly
scrambled back out of the locker room. It was gonna be a long
night.
Carlos walked up to Cordy, a swagger in his step, "Well
hello there mamacita, Seems like you need a little heat today,"
he said as he backed the girl up to the bleachers with his back to
the others, his lips near her ear as he told her the info he gathered
as her hands pushed against his chest. Once he was done, he let her
push him away and was rewarded with a smack to the face.
"Back
off Latin Fizzle, I'd like my men Wild," she sneered and walked
away.
The other members of the Kru smirked, "You know we told
you not to mess with that she cat, she'll knock you on your ass,"
they said for the benefit of the others around them.
Backstage,
Storm looked at Cat, "She's got a mean right hook; you might
want to keep that in mind."
"That wasn't her right hook
that was just a bitch slap, go ask AJ about her right hook," Cat
smirked then walked over towards the outside door, "come on we
have to talk."
Trent walked over to Syd with a bouquet of
flowers, "Hi can I sit down and talk with you?"
Syd rolled
her eyes at the flowers and said "sure, what do you want to talk
about?"
Trent sat down and passed the info he'd gathered to
Syd, "She's scared Syd, she's attacked her boyfriend because
she's that scared," he said handing her the flowers.
Syd
sniffed the flowers and said, "I'll try and talk to her, but
right now, she doesn't really know who to trust. She may not talk to
me either."
"She's talking to her uncle and Chris Harris,
try with them," he said and then looked up at the Latin fizzle
comment, "He's going to regret that one."
Syd laughed, "I'm
sure he's heard it before." Trent laughed back.
Trent smiled
and kissed her cheek, "Tell Cordy I'll see her later, if you can
get a chance to get a second with her."
Syd laughed, "Just
be careful, her swing, and her aim are getting a little too much
practice. She is showing definite signs of improvement."
"Just
like her uncle, that man kicks like a mule," he smiled, then
headed off as Amara Storm walked over towards Sydney, "hi you're
the new um manager they hired for AMW right?"
Sydney smiled at
Amara (poor kid, she thought) "Yeah, I'm Lily, or well, you can
call me Syd."
"Thanks I'm Amara but everyone calls me
Am, don't know why," she whispered sitting down.
Sydney
restrained herself from putting a protective arm around Amara's
shoulders. Not appropriate, and not time yet to show that close a
relationship. Syd said, "You know how we humans are, we always
have to find a way to shorten names, whether it fits us or
not."
Amara giggled slightly, "That's first time since
this mess started that I've laughed," She sighed, "I
don't know who to trust, other than Uncle James and Chris."
Syd
looked around, and saw no one nearby, but wasn't going to take any
chances. "Cordy and I are always happy to make new friends,"
She said with a significant look. "And Tommy, the blonde perky
guy who keeps hitting on me is a trustworthy soul."
"Tommy,"
she blushed up, "I don't think so," she said, blushing a
deeper red.
Syd held back a laugh, she didn't think Amara would
appreciate the humor in the situation, but replied, "No he is a
sweet guy, really, no harm in him. And uh, I know he is as um,
uncomfortable about the whole locker room thing as you are. But
believe me; he'll never make any comment about it."
"Its
not only that I um, oh hell, my fiancé walked in on me and I
kicked him hard, he screamed, and well Tommy walked in to see what
the matter was and I was naked," Amara whispered.
Syd struggled
even harder not to crack a smile, she was pretty sure the inside of
her cheek was bleeding. Syd told Amara, "Tommy is a gentleman,
I'm sure he's not going to say or do anything to upset you, and he
would never repeat what he saw to anyone."
"Okay then,
maybe I can trust Tommy," she said then sighed, "Why do I have
a stalker, all I do is make sure my uncle finds his stuff. "
Syd
finally allowed herself to laugh, "Which is, I'm sure a full
days work and then some!"
"You're not kidding, especially
when Cat hides his gear," Amara laughed. "Syd thanks for
this, I haven't laughed in so long."
Syd decided to throw
caution to the wind, and leaned over and hugged Amara's shoulders,
"Any time kiddo, just let me store up a few stories on your
uncle and we'll go to town!"
"Okay and I need to go
apologize to Vaughn," she said then skipped off. Cordy looked
over and saw Syd motioning and looked towards Amara.
Cordy,
casually wandered off in the direction Amara had headed, without
looking like she was following her any where other than the
restroom.
Carlos followed as well, but was only heading over to
talk to Cat who was in on the whole thing; meanwhile Amara ambled
down the hallway only to get jerked back into the locker room.
Cordy
quickened her step and walked up to the locker room and saw what
appeared to be Amara and her fiancé in a great position.
"Nothing to see here," she murmured pulling the door
shut.
Syd saw a group of wrestlers off to the side reading a
posted flyer; she moved closer to get a look.
Chase Steven's
smirked as he read. "Hell yeah a woman's match, Can we say cat
fight?"
Andy, chuckled, "Yeah man, Bra and Panties Match, I
hear ya!"
Carlos joined them and then smirked, "Yep and
that hot little number Cordy is in it along with the lovely
Lily."
Syd elbowed Carlos in the kidneys, "Be thankful it
isn't an intergender match, with a billiards match after."Carlos
turned around, as every man there went to cover his Johnson, "Ouch
Lily that hurts!"
Syd smirks, "Not yet, but it
will..."
Jarrett came into the room, "Okay I see
everyone has seen the ladies matches, just a little reminder, and NO
grabbing breasts if you are the male in the woman's match."
Syd
looked at Carlos from under her lashes, and elbowed him in the solar
plexus. Syd asked Jarrett, "Any stipulations other than
that?"
"Yes Lily for each piece of clothing the woman's
has lost the man looses two."
Syd lets loose a cheer, much to
the chagrin of the guys.
Syd asks, "Who will act as our
managers?"
"Syd you have Tommy, Amara has Vaughn, Traci has
Kazarian and Cordy well she has to make do with Carlos."
Carlos
echoed Syd's earlier cheer; he then got a nice chop in the pecs from
Syd. This was followed by a thwap in the back of the head from Cordy,
who was standing behind him.
"Jeff why him, why can't I have…
say, Styles, Hell I'll take Alex Shelly over him," Cordy
complained.
Jarrett looks down his nose at Cordy, "You fight
who and with whom I tell you to fight, not the other way around, like
it, or hike it, babe."
"Ooohhhhh," she said, then
got her temper under control, "Fine then," she said as she
stomped away with Carlos following.
Carlos helpfully advised Cordy
to count to ten and breathe.
She looked at Carlos and smirked,
"you know I might just strip myself and let you the others win the
match."
Carlos turns beet red, then said, "Nah you
wouldn't."
"Try me Carlito or should I say Latin
fizzle."
Chase and Andy walked by laughing, "Latin
Fizzle!" Chase sneered. Andy laughed, "I'm calling you
that from now on!"
Carlos looks at Cordy, grumpy, "You
are gonna pay for this little girl."
"You and what army,
besides all I see is a trailer park hick, a negro who thinks he's all
that and more and only one of the four you knows how to wrestle,"
she said as she looked him in the eye slapping his hand off her arm
while slipping a piece of paper into his that said 'call me at
Cat's room.'
Andy snickered. "Looks like a rejection there,
Fizzle-boy."
"Looks who's talking Andy, besides I'm
going to refrain from making fun of you because you were wounded."
As
Cordy walked away, she was confronted by a pissy April Pennington,
who hisses at Cordy, "No one has the right to treat Chris Harris
the way you have, catting around behind his back, like a common
slut!"
"Hello pot calling kettle black," Andy
sneered as he limped off.
April sniffed loudly in Andy's
direction.
"Andy's got a point April; you know its funny
considering that the only thing natural about you is your talent, and
all that is between your legs," Cordy stated and started to walk
away.
April jumped Cordy from behind, pulling hair.
"Chick
fight!" Andy screamed down the hall, backing away to protect
himself.
Wrestlers streamed from the locker rooms.
Syd realized
it had been a while since she had seen Amara and went off to find
her.
Cordy grabbed April by the hair and pulled April off her back
and backed away.Amara stepped out of the dressing room with her shirt
inside out as Vaughn laughed at her.
"I don't want to fight
you, you stupid Twit," Cordy panted.
"I'm not a slut,"
April said getting up and running at Cordy just as the intended
target spun away and she ended up spearing Amara.
Sydney appeared
from the hallway leading from the locker rooms, in time to see the
fall out.
Don Harris walked in, pushing his way through the crowd
of guys. "What the hell's going on here?"
Cat and Storm
appeared right behind Syd.
Cat sighed, "Yup, she's a Storm
alright."
Storm got irritated, "What is that supposed to
mean?"
Cat smirked, "Wherever your people go, fights
follow."
"I was trying to tell Carlos I don't want him as
my manager in the match tonight, and this blond bitch decided that I
wasn't good enough for Cat. She called me a slut, but I walked away
and she jumped me," Cordy said, helping Amara up.
"Is it
my fault people don't like me?" Storm bitched.
Cat, hearing
his name brought into it, turns to April, "Mind your own
business, home wrecker."
Storm sighed. "Just because
you're jealous April." then laughed when she lunged at
him.
Amara stepped in front of her uncle and cold cocked April.
"Hurt my friends again and you'll find out why they say a Storm
is coming."
Storm and Cat chorused, "Bravo."
"I
taught you so well," Storm mock-sniffled and wiped away an
imaginary tear.
Amara smiled then stepped on her uncle's foot,
"next time be a gentleman and pull them apart," she hissed
as Tommy walked by.
"Ow! Damn Amara!" Storm yelped then
glared at a laughing Cat.
Cordy looked at Trent and headed over,
but not before kissing Cat on the cheek, "later."
Jarrett
entered and started bellowing at the top of his lungs, "What the
HELL is going on here? Did you people forget we have a show to put
on in this place in less than four hours? Get to work NOW!"
Cowboy
"saluted" as soon as his back was turned.
Jarrett, "I saw
that asshole."
Cowboy immediately pointed at Vaughn, "He
did it."
Vaughn, having just entered the arena looked
confused.
Amara giggled then grabbed her fiancé, "Leave
him alone," she said to Storm and pulled Vaughn back down the
hallway.
Cat looked at Storm, serious for the moment, "first
time I've heard her laugh in too long."
"No shit
Sherlock, I think when Lily and Cordy showed up she started to open
up." Storm took a deep breath and released it on a sigh of relief.
Then he looked confounded.
Cat said, "She needed someone to
talk to, don't get your panties in a wad cause it wasn't you she felt
like she could open up to."
Cowboy pouted.
Cat sighed,
"Geez, she didn't talk to me either, feel better jerk?"
Cowboy
smiled, "Strangely enough, yeah, I do."
Carlos looked at
them, "Can we talk please?"
Cat said, "God help me.
Sure Carlito. What is up?
"Just that I think your woman's hot,
and how she wants White Bread and not the Latin spice is beyond me,"
Carlos sneered manfully and Cowboy doubled over with laughter.Cat
cracked up. Then he flexed his abs and pecs in Carlos' face, "Yeah,
I have no idea either."
"I'm serious man," Carlos said
then looked at Cat with the shut up and listen asshole look on his
face. "She wants me tonight, in her hotel room. Got me?"
Cat
looks at Carlos, and then slowly nods his head. "We'll see about
that, now won't we."
"Oh I plan on it," Carlos
smirked and walked away.
Storm, "It'll be such a pity to
break that little man into so many little pieces."
Everyone
in the arena scattered to do their last minute business and
preparations for the show.
Cordy stood in the locker room with
Cat, "So did you get the message from the others?"
Cat
shook his head, "Yeah, Boy that Carlos, he sure is loving his
persona."
Cowboy snickered, "White bread..."
"That's
Carlos for you, he loves his undercover work," Cordy smiled,
pulled on a pair of boots.
Cordy turned to James, "Please tell
me he didn't use the white bread Latin heat line?"
James roared
with laughter.
"That boy is nuts," she said then turned
back to Cat, "Chris you don't mind if I borrow your jacket do
you?"
Cat shook his head and handed it to her, then had to bring
it up, "Have you ever wrestled before, Cordy? And no I don't
mind, just don't bleed on it, ok?"
"He hates it when you
do that," Cowboy added.
Cat muttered, "I hate when YOU
do that, still smells like a fricking beer..."
"Good
beer," Storm amended for Cat.
Cordy grabbed a roll of tape
out of her bag and tossed it to Cat, "Remember the von Erich's,
Kevin gave me a few pointers."
Storm whistled low.
"And
Storm, spilt beer is bad beer," she said then opened the door to
find Carlito standing there, "Wonderful just wonderful, my night
is complete.""Mamacita! How you doin?" Carlos grinned
cheekily."Carlito, Go ask Styles about my right hook before It gets
introduced to you personally," she smiled at him sweetly as Syd
and Amara walked by."Him and his fake teeth," Cowboy
teased.Cat looked at Storm and laughed.Cat said, "Like
Chiclets.""Bite me, Cowboy," she grinned then ducked
under Carlos's arm to head out to the ring. "Carlos is in for a
treat," she whispered to Syd.Syd and Amara laughed. Cordy had
entered to Breaking the habit. Syd entered to Spanish Eyes. Amara
entered to Guilty. Tracy entered to Kazarian's music. Scott Hudson
announces the contestants and the match stipulations.They got to the
ring and the guys got in their respective places, Trent behind Syd,
Carlos behind Cordy, Vaughn behind Amara and so on. The ladies took
their corners, eyeing their opponents, figuring out who would work
together, who would be the lone wolf. The men stood at their posts,
know their pride and much more might be showing very soon.Kazarian
had on two layers of clothing.Trent had on two layers as well, as for
Vaughn and Carlos; they only had on one layer each. Amara looked at
Cordy and winked, then slapped her face, starting the match as Traci
went at Syd.Amara wore jeans, a cowboy shirt, cowboy hat, fringed
jacket and her wrestling boots.Hoping to get Carlos naked before
anybody else Cordy wore a long sleeved shirt over a wifebeater a pair
of jeans and her bootsSyd flipped Tracy with a hip throw, and
attempted to pin her for the 3 count to get the first article of
clothing gone!Cordy looked at Amara and smirked, "Pin me,"
she said after she landed hard on the dodged bodies and
counted out three for Amara's pin on Cordy.Andrew counted 2 on Tracy
and Syd, but Tracy was able to throw off Syd before the count
out.Standing up, Cordy pulled off her long sleeve shirt making Carlos
lose his shirt and pants.The crowd roared, some ladies whistled
appreciatively.Mike Posey patrolled the ringside area, because as
soon as the first man to his skin lost, they had to
covered his eyes backstage. "Tell me when it's over."Tracy
reversed the hold Syd had on her, and rolled up Syd for the three
count, Syd lost her shirt, Tommy/Trent removed his jacket and
shirt.Carlito began to get a glimmer he was in trouble"All right
Amara," Vaughn shouted as Amara went after Cordy again.Frankie
turned to Carlito, "Looks like your going to lose man."But as
Amara was distracted going for Cordy; Tracy rushed her and bounced
her off the ropes and got a pin for a three count!Vaughn sighed and
pulled off his shirt and Jeans leaving him in a pair of tight
boxers."Go Tracy!" Kazarian screamed.Syd slung Cordy around to
hit the turnbuckle next to Kazarian, and pushed Frankie off the
apron, just for fun.As Traci celebrated she was rolled up by Amara
for a three count.Tracy removed her jacket, Frankie took off his
jacket and his shirt.Vaughn bounced merrily in his corner, cheering
on Amara and pounding on the top turnbuckle.Trent looked over at him
"Hyper much?"Vaughn said, "Huh?"bounce, bounce,
bounceVaughn laughed merrily, "Oh I am always like this."Cordy
got rolled up by Syd and everyone looked at Carlos.Kazarian
laughed.Amara rolled up Tracy while Tracy was distracted by all the
laughter.Syd looked around and noticed that Carlos was
missing.Kazarian's track pants and second shirt came waved
to the crowd as she made her way up the ramp."First one
eliminated is Cordy," Tenay called out as Carlos ran behind her
holding his clothes to a certain area.Kid Kash screamed and hid
behind Dallas as Carlos came through the backstage.Amara, Traci, and
Syd reevaluate each other.They looked at the guys, the next one who
seemed to be about to go was Vaughn so Trent and Kazarian looked at
each other with a smirk.Amara and Syd signaled each other out of the
corner of their eyes, and rushed Tracy with a combo clotheslineSyd
got the pin for a 3 count, much to Kazarian's disgust.Tracy removed
her pants.Kazarian was now down to undershirt and jockeys.As she was
removing her shirt Traci was pinned once again by Amara.Posey moved
in to confirm removal of Frankie's clothes, he said "Uh-uh man,
no way," and ran up the ramp.Syd looked at Amara, "Just you
and me kid."Amara just said, "Bring It."Now Syd was no
Cordy but she did her best.Syd tried to roll up Amara for the 3, but
Amara kept countering with reversals.Syd turned around and was met by
a superkick to the chin.Vaughn prayed. Amara pinned Syd for a 3, Syd
removed her pants.Trent removed two more items leaving him in a tank
and jockeys.The ladies in the crowd were very happily watching the
ring posts, the men had their eyes glued to the center ring, well
most of the men anyway.Syd looked at Trent and shook her head as she
went to clothes line Amara.Trent looked like he wished he'd done some
praying of his own.Vaughn bounced, and screamed for Amara.Amara slung
off Syd and flung her into the turnbuckle.Syd hit her head hard and
fell forward to the mat.Amara ran in for the pin, but was surprised
by Syd, who flipped her over to pin Amara for a 2 count.Syd looked at
Amara "Make me tap," she hissed a glimmer in her eye.Amara
just grinned that Storm grin, and said, "Give the lady what she
wants."Trent screamed to the ring. "It's kinda chilly in
here ladies!"Amara accidentally bumped Trent off the apron, well
kinda "accidentally."Syd went for a modified Boston crab after
nailing Amara with a clothes line but was reversed into a
sharpshooter.The crowd went nuts cheering their favored
wrestler.Andrew asked Syd if she wanted to tap, she refused.Amara
leaned backwards, elongating and stretching Syd's spine.Syd called
out and tapped quickly.Vaughn ran into the ring and danced around
with Amara in celebration.Kash screamed again as Trent hightailed it
backstage.The crowd rose to its collective feet cheering their
favorites Baby Storm and Livewire. Cordy knocked on Cat's door
never having gotten around to putting her clothes back on, just
standing there in her jeans and stood in the doorway of
Cat's locker room, "Hello dear."Cat laughed and held the
door open for entered, "did you like the match?" Cat
smiled, "I'll admit you did both better and worse than I
expected. You could have drawn it out a little more, but I guess you
were concentrating on getting Carlos back.""Carlos hell, I
wanted to see Kazarian naked," she smirked.Storm entered from
the showers in time to hear Cordy's last statement. "Why do
women always say that?"Glancing over at Cowboy in his towel,
Cordy replied, "hello baby, I've already seen you naked and
lets just say you're better looking than Kazarian." Cat shook his
head, "Why do women seem to always be saying THAT, Storm?"Cordy
smiled and kissed Chris on the cheek, "because you, my handsome
man, are just perfect," she grinned then looked down sadly, "I'm
having fun but once this case is closed I have to go back home."Cat
hugged Cordy's shoulders companionably, basically in order to
distract her from the fact Storm had just dropped his towel to get
dressed, and because he admired the spunky young woman. He told her,
"Once you get hooked on wrestling, you are a fan for life.""I
told you before I got a few tips from Kevin von Erich and then here.
I've been a fan already it's just I'm going to miss the
controlled chaos." Cordy had of course looked over Cat's bicep and
seen Storm pulling on his jockeys and jeans, and silently blessed
Levi Strauss."Ya'll did get the message that we have to meet in
my room tonight, right? We need to discuss info gathered; only one
not to be there is Amara."Storm grinned, and looked around for his
shirt, "I'll tell Vaughn to take her to dinner, should take a
while, the boy eats like a bottomless pit.""You ain't seen
Trivette eat, obviously," Cordy laughed.Cat said, "What is it
about those scrawny little shits?""You mean how they eat like
a horse and don't get fat?"Cat said, "Exactly."Cordy
smiled then went to her bag; while bending over her jeans pulling
tightly across her legs, causing Cowboy to earn a thwap from
said, "Ow, damnit, WHAT?""Eyes in and off
her rear," growled laughed, "I'm neither deaf nor
blind fellas, I look, and I'm not gonna be shocked if you do
too...Cause who says I don't," she said pulling a small AMW
shirt out of her bag and pulling it on. Cowboy poked Cat in the
stomach, "Of course she won't look at you too much, because you
got all that pudge." This earned him another chop in the pecs
from Cat."Watch what ya talk about pudge, Cupcake Cowboy,"
Cat sneered, "I got Abs of steel, Kitty Cat.""Boys,
boys, I'm going to go see that Trent knows about the meeting, see
ya later," Cordy said heading out. She started thinking to
herself, 'I wish Trent would look at me the way Vaughn looks at
Amara.'Cowboy stepped towards the row of lockers, to pick up his
shirt, and the phone rang."Yello," Cowboy answered. "Give
the phone to Chris Harris, NOW.""Sheesh! Phone for you,
Cat," Storm shrugged and tossed him the phone. Cat answered,
"This is Harris," he still got no response,"This is
Chris Harris, who is this?" "Say NOTHING, just listen.
There is a message waiting for you at the desk of your hotel, pick it
up, read it PRIVATELY, and then follow the directions. As proof of
my, shall we say intent, there are some interesting photos included
in the packet. Don't be a hero, Mr. Feline; just do as you're
told."Chris looked shocked for a second then controlled his
expression, "Who are you?" "Someone who is an admirer,
of sorts, of your buddy's niece. She's very pretty, what a waste if
you were to screw up, and she became not so lovely.""Fine I'll
be there," he said, trying to think how to protect Amara. Cowboy
groaned, "You'll be where? Dude there is a steak and a beer with
my name on it waiting backing at the hotel restaurant."Chris
covered the phone, "It's something I have to take care of, you
go have your steak and beer," he said then turned back to the
phone, "If you do anything I'll kill you."Cowboy's
eyebrows went up in shock, "Uh Cat who are you gonna kill, cause
the way things have been going, I want in on that action."Turning
back to Cowboy Cat sneered, "Its Carlito saying how he's going
to take Cordy from me," he grinned at Cowboy, hoping he was
being convincing."I told you to shut up and listen, you don't
and I'm not going to be very nice to little Amara when I get my hands
on her, and trust me, I WILL get my hands on her. There is nothing
you can do to stop me.""Fine," Cat said and hung up.
"Let's go James."Cowboy looked put out, "What I been
saying, man, let's eat!"Cat and Cowboy left, leaving Cordy to
catch a ride with someone else. Cordy went over to Trent's locker
room and walked in, immediately tripping over the rug.Trent of course
saw her, and manfully refrained from chuckling, but Cordy still
wanted to curl up into the concrete.She looked up at him finally
seeing him as Trent and Not Thunder Malloy's son, "You are going
to be at the meeting tonight?"Trent smiled, brought his mind back
to the topic at hand, and said, "Yeah, Carlito and I will be
there, with more on than he left the ring in.""That was
mean of me I know, but how he took it, I don't know," she
whispered sitting down. Trent said, "Don't sweat it, he'll get
over it, um, how are you going to be getting back to the hotel?""I
don't know, I know Cowboy was hungry, unless they are waiting in the
parking lot for me then I guess I'm walking."Trent said, "I
don't think so, I'll drive you and Syd over.""Okay,"
she said standing up and heading out, "I'm going to go check on
Amara" (I wish he would look at me the way I look at him). Trent
said, "I'll meet you outside." (I wish I could figure out a
way...but it would never work, she'd never be interested in an old
guy like me).(Damnit, I should have told him how I feel) she thought
as she knocked on Amara's dressing room.Amara called out, "One
minute!""It's Cordy, Amara." "Ok, um, uh, just
a second!" Amara called"Hey, if you and Vaughn are
celebrating its cool," she said then waited. Laughter came thru
the closed door.Turning back towards Trent's locker room she bumped
into said gentleman head on and started to fall.Trent reached out,
dropping his gear bag, and caught her so that she was pressed against
his chestCordy looked up into his eyes her blue ones meeting green as
she licked her lips. Trent was damning the fact he had ever met
Cordell Walker, because he REALLY wanted to take advantage of
Walker's niece right then.Forgetting the consequences of her actions
she reached up and cupped her palm against his cheek and stood on
tiptoe to kiss him. Both were unaware of the eyes on them.Trent
forgot who anyone was he had ever met and concentrated on Cordy, her
soft little body and her very talented for her part had
her arms wound around his neck never wanting to let go. As if from a
distance they both heard a door open, and surprised gasps.They both
whispered, "busted," on the others lips and turned around to see
Amara and Vaughn.And standing right behind them in the hallway, was
April Pennington, with an angry sort of triumph written clearly on
her looked at Amara, "I can explain." April
snorted, "Yeah right, so can I and I'll be doing just that, to
Cat, right now.""He'll believe a pig can fly before you
April," Vaughn said as he looked at Cordy, knowing who and what
she really was. April held up an item she had hidden in her hand, a
small digital camera, "Pictures don't lie, now do they
Chrissie.""You're just jealous cause of the friendship I
have with the Naturals, and do we need to go into that again,"
Cordy said looking at the blond and thinking fast, "Besides Cat
knows about my so called infidelities, he's the one who wants me to
be happy." Amara snorted in April's direction, "Besides,
when have you ever cared about anyone else's happiness, other than
your own April. I mean look how you broke things off with Andy!""Andy
was a man whore, he deserved it," April said and then looked at
Trent, "looks like Trent's girl Lily is going to love these
pictures as well."Syd tapped April on the shoulder. April turned,
and Syd laughed in her face, "No one ever said I was Trent's
girl, stupid."With April's attention diverted Cordy ran down
the hallway to the parking area where she saw Cowboy and Cat
waved to Cat and Cowboy, and then was confused when
neither noticed her then got in their truck and drove away."That
was odd," she murmured standing there waiting for Trent and Syd.
She tried to get her breathing back under control from the
heard footsteps behind her and started to turn, but a cloth soaked in
chloroform was put over her face and she passed out after struggling
for a couple of seconds.
