Justin and Careena got settled at the warehouse they'd bought. They'd had furniture delivered and had it renovated into a make shift house. They had everything set up to continue Randy's therapy.
"I thought I would try to find Annie today." Careena said as they sat in the warehouse.
"Do you know how you will find her?" Justin asked his wife.
"I thought I would look her up in the phone book. Find where they live and go see her. I also wanted to take pictures of her and the little boy. They might help him too."
Justin nodded. "You just be careful. You don't need to be stressed out." He said as he rested his hand on her stomach. She covered his hand with hers and smiled.
"Relax. I'm going to be fine." She kissed him and headed out. She had gotten the address from the internet and now she was on her way to the house.
Annie sighed as she put Jacob on the blanket for play time. Payton was in school. She looked up as John walked into the kitchen. She looked at his face.
"You have to leave again don't you?" She asked him.
"Yes. I have to go to Alaska for a few days to get this deal going." He replied. "Annie, I've been home for two days. I'm sorry it's not longer."
"Are you?" She asked. "Because it seems that you can't get away from us fast enough.'
"That's not true and you know it. I love you, Payton and Jacob. But this is my job. I worked hard for the promotion and traveling is part of it."
"Right." She sighed. "Just go and have a safe trip."
"Annie, I don't want to leave with us fighting." He sighed. "I love you and the kids. And I hate that I have to be away from you. But this is my job."
"I know that and you're said that many times. So, go. Go do your job and have a safe trip." she walked out and into the living room where Jacob was playing. She smiled at her son.
"Annie, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry."
She sighed and walked over to him. "I'm not angry. This is your job. So go. Just have a safe trip." She walked him with to the door.
"I'll call you when I land." He kissed her and walked out to the car.
Annie stood at the door for a minute and watched John drive away. She sighed and headed back into the house. Not noticing the car parked across the street.
Careena took a breath and got out walking up to the door. She wasn't sure Annie would help but she had to try. She took another breath and knocked on the door. She couldn't help but smile when the blond answered the door holding the two year old little boy. Careena knew immediately that it was Randy's son. There was no mistaking it with how much he looked like him.
"Can I help you?" Annie asked when she opened the door.
"Annie Cena?"
"Yes."
"I'm Dr. Careena Gabriel. I'm a doctor at AddenBrooke Hospital. I was hoping I could talk to you."
"Sure. Come in." Annie wondered why a doctor would come from London to talk to her. She hadn't been in London or that hospital since Jacob was born. "Can I get you something to drink?"
"No I'm fine thank you." Careena said as she sat down.
Annie sat down on the sofa with Jacob with her lap. "So, what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Randy Orton."
"Why do you want to talk to me about Randy? He's dead." Annie replied. "I'm sure you know that since you work at the hospital where he died."
"I honestly don't know how to say this to you." Careena said. "But Randy isn't dead. He's alive. The hospital faked his death."
"What?" Annie asked. "You're wrong. I watched him die."
"He isn't dead. He has been at the hospital for the last two years."
"Why would the hospital do that?"
"They were paid to. The same person who arranged that had arranged for Mr. Orton to have electroshock treatments."
"Electroshock?"
"Yes. The hospital did electroshock and that cause Randy to have no memory of his life. He doesn't remember what he did or who he was. The thing he does seem to remember is you." Careena looked at her. "I think you can help him get his memory back. Whoever was paying the bills wanted him dead and tortured. He needs to remember. Annie, Randy is alive and needs your help."
"I can't help you." Annie said getting up and putting Jacob into the pack n play. She never noticed Careena taking pictures with her phone. "I'm sorry he doesn't remember but I can't put myself or Jacob through anything dealing with him. I'm sure you know what he did to me. I can't take the chance with Jacob. I won't put my son through anything."
"Looking over his medical records, he's got extensive damage to the impulse control cortex of his brain. Which means that he had no control over the things he did to you. That kind of damage can only be done through electroshock treatment. Whenever the treatments were started at the hospital, they seemed to somehow reverse the previous damage done."
"Meaning what?"
"Meaning there's a good chance that Randy isn't responsible for his impulses. The stress on his brain essentially caused two Randys. He may not be the man you knew anymore. I know he did some horrible things to you and I know you may not be able to forgive him. And I'm not asking you to. But at least give him his life back."
Annie sighed. "I forgave him not long after everything but I can't forget it. Do you know what it's like to be taken away from your life? To be kept away?"
"No, I don't. Annie, please help him get his life back. I know you're a kind person. I can sense that about you. He had no control over what he did. Please help him."
"Give me a few days to think about it?"
"Alright." Careena said to her. "Here is my card." She handed it to Annie. "Mrs. Cena, I know you don't owe him anything. But is it possible to get a photo of your son. I think he would like to see his son."
Annie sighed and walked over to the bookcase. She took out the photo album of pictures. She was still not sure it was a good idea. But she felt bad for Randy. "Here. This is one that was taken a week ago."
"Thank you." Careena said as she left. She hoped Annie would help but she also knew nothing was certain. She left the house and drove back to the warehouse. She walked in and saw Justin there.
Justin smiled and kissed her. "How did it go?"
"I'm not sure. She hasn't agreed to anything but she is thinking about it. She wanted a few days to think about it."
"Well that's something." He said. "And what's in your hand?"
"Oh, this is a picture of Jacob. Randy's son." She handed the picture to Justin.
"He's adorable."
"Is Randy awake yet?"
"No. But he will be soon." Justin replied.
"What do you want to do?"
"When he wakes up I want to ask him about Annie. I know everyone at the hospital told him she was not real. I want him to tell us what he remembers about her." He looked at Careena. "You didn't by chance get pictures of her did you?"
"I did with my phone." She handed it to him. He hooked it up to the computer and downloaded the photos.
"This is her?"
"Yep. That's Annie Cena."
Justin looked at the photo. She was just like Randy describe to everyone. He hoped this would help Randy but he knew they needed Annie. He looked at the photo of Annie and Jacob and printed them out. He wanted Randy to see them and see if it sparked more of his memory.
