Chapter Six – M is for Murder
The Nashes, Orlando, FL at 7am:
Tamara Nash threw Tristen's back-pack at his 7ft father, apparently Kevin Nash had forgotten that he was supposed to do something other than lay in this morning.
"This is why I sleep at Universal Studios," Kevin Nash said turning to the other side of the bed and Tamara couldn't believe it, she climbed over Kevin Nash's Big Sexy body and pulled his hair.
"Get up!" she yelled into his ear and Tristen rolled his eyes, took his back-pack and headed down to the car.
"Tristen's not even going to school for another hour!" Kevin Nash replied.
"I'm taking Tristen to school, you are supposed to be getting Shawn and Hunter's children from Shelton Benjamin today," Tammy said.
"Oh yeah," Kevin Nash remembered and Tammy slid off him and ran after her son who was fast losing patience with being the adult in the Nash household. Tammy got in the car and they both waited for the man of the house to make his way to the driver's seat . . .
An hour later, Kevin Nash – showered and shaved – made it to the car where Tamara's head was on the steering wheel and Tristen was an hour late for school.
"Oh my 8 o'clock already," Kevin Nash said buckling his seat belt and Tammy hit him across the head.
"Drive!" she yelled and Kevin Nash smiled while pulling out of the driveway.
"You know you love me," he said confidently and Tamara sighed.
"I know and I'm paying the price for marrying into the Kliq," she said and turned to her son and ruffled his hair which was resting against the backseat, "At least I got something good out of you," she said in reference to her 11 year-old son.
"Can I skip school today, I'm late anyway and I wanna see Cameron, Cheyenne and LC," Tristen asked.
"Cameron, Cheyenne and LC are in a lot of trouble, they came to Orlando without their parents knowing this is not the kind of behavior I want to encourage so no, you can't see them today," Tammy replied and Tristen sighed.
"It's not fair why can't they go to school down here instead of Connecticut we're not that far away?" Tristen said.
"If those three keep it up they won't be going to Waterside for much longer, that Mr. Applebee was a hard-ass when Stephanie and Shane were at Waterside too and I doubt he has changed much in the last 20 years," Tammy said, "except maybe his hair which is probably much greyer,"
"Nothing wrong with that," Kevin Nash said combing through his silver locks.
"I completely disagree with that statement," Tamara said.
"Don't be dissing my grey hair girlfriend!" Kevin Nash said.
"Dad no-one says "dissing" anymore," Tristen said embarrassed.
"Don't waste your breath Tris your father has lost most of his hearing, it usually happens at his age," Tamara teased Kevin and Tristen rolled his eyes and sunk even further into the seat as his parents went back and forth exchanging witty insults just like they did every morning and it was getting old just like his old man only it wasn't cool like his old man's job, it was dull and frustrating just like school which was the last place he wanted to be right now.
"Did you know Shelton Benjamin was engaged to Krystal Marshall?" Tamara asked Big Kev who nodded.
"What am I deaf, dumb and blond? Of course I know, they're the talk of the town," Kevin Nash said and Tristen's ears pricked up.
"And she's going nuts over these gold earrings, she wants to wear them on her wedding day," Tamara said.
"Tristen have you heard enough because I have?" Kevin Nash said and Tammy slapped him on the arm.
"No I haven't, Krystal Marshall's getting married? Since when?" Tristen asked outraged.
"Since Shelton proposed to her," his mom answered and Tristen couldn't believe it.
"But I am so much hotter than he is, I'm going to object at their wedding," Tristen said and Tammy and Kevin burst out laughing, "didn't Shelton Benjamin wanna be in the Kliq more than anything awhile back?"
"Yeah he's been driving Shawn nuts about it too but word on the street is--"
"Dad nobody says "word on the street" anymore either," Tristen said exhausted by his dad's dated vernacular.
"If I say it its cool; me, Razor, XPac, Shawn and Hunter invented cool so if I say it its cool, you dig?" Kevin Nash said and Tammy rolled her eyes at the phrase "you dig", "Now where was I? Oh yeah, word on the street is Shelton is going to form his own Kliq,"
"Really?" Tammy asked intrigued, "Who's gonna be in this new Kliq?"
"Guys from around here; Sting, Kurt Angle and Christie Hemme," Kevin Nash said.
"That's cool, its time he got the message that he ain't never gonna join up with you guys, this is probably the smartest decision he's ever made," Tamara said but Tristen had the opposite opinion.
"You guys better reconsider not letting Shelton in the Kliq," Tristen said.
"And why should we do that?" Kevin Nash asked intrigued.
"Because I want Krystal in the Kliq and how's it gonna look if Krystal gets in and he doesn't?" Tristen said.
"But Krystal's not even a wrestler anymore," Kevin Nash said.
"I don't care she's hot!" Tristen said as Kevin pulled up outside his school.
"It ain't gonna happen but you have a good day at school," Kevin Nash said.
"Fine, go spend all day with the coolest people on the planet while I'm bored to death at this rotten school!" Tristen snapped and slammed the door shut before storming up the walkway into the school building.
"We love you too!" Kevin Nash said and pulled away from the school walls to go and see his god-children, former Kliq candidate and his smoking hot fiancé as his son called Krystal.
"You think he's gonna be alright?" Tamara asked.
"No but that's what this big black boot is for," Kevin Nash said pointing to his foot and Tamara shook his head.
"You know violence is more of a cause of misbehavior than a deterrent," Tamara said.
"Not if your 7ft tall," Kevin Nash said.
"And what happens when Tristen outgrows you?" Tamara said and Kevin Nash thought about it, it never occurred to him that Tristen would be taller than him.
"Then we've got a big problem on our hands," Kevin Nash said not wanting his son to turn from a David into a Goliath, David he could handle and he had to think of a way to get back on Tristen's good side fast and 10 minutes later he was looking at his answer standing outside her apartment and waving at them.
"Hey Krystal!" Kevin Nash said ignoring Shelton, Cameron, Cheyenne and LC and Tamara shook her head.
"Don't do it," she said to herself at she sat in the car watching from behind the windscreen but judging by the look of jubilation on Krystal Marshall's face and the look of utter bewilderment on Shelton Benjamin's he did it.
"I'm in the Kliq!" Krystal said getting into the car with the ARK Angels and Shelton Benjamin.
"And I'm not!" Shelton Benjamin said in disbelief.
"Now, now Shelton you've got your own Kliq now and I'm sure you'll be more comfortable with SCAB than with me and the boys," Kevin Nash said and Krystal frowned noticing something clinking in Shelton's shirt pocket.
"What's SCAB?" she asked peering into Shelton's shirt pocket for a closer look.
"Sting, Christie, Angle and Benji – that's me, it's this new group that I formed down here in Orlando," Shelton Benjamin said still disappointed that he couldn't be in the original Kliq.
"You made a local Kliq? That is so cute Shelly Bean!" Krystal said and Kev and Tammy laughed at Krystal's pet name for Shelton.
"Shelly Bean!" they said.
"Krys I told you not to call me that in public!" Shelton Benjamin said but he was so shocked by Krystal getting in the Kliq that he forgot the very important thing he was supposed to tell Krystal about the golden earrings she was reaching for right now.
"Shelton the earrings!" Cameron cried out shoving Shelton on the shoulder but Kevin Nash kept ribbing him about his new nick name.
"It's like Jelly Bean but with an S," Kevin Nash said, "you could never get in the Kliq with a nick name like that Shelton," he added and Shelton fumed and completely tuned Cameron out.
"The golden earrings!" Krystal cried pulling the earrings out of Shelton's shirt pocket.
"No!" Shelton realized but it was too late; she put them on.
"Oh great," LC said rolling her eyes and Cheyenne sighed.
"What's the matter sweetie?" Krystal asked, "don't you think your aunt Krystal looks nice?"
"First of all you're not my aunt and second of all YOU STUPID IDIOT!" LC cried at Shelton taking Krystal by surprise, "No wonder Shawn won't let you in the Kliq you absolutely suck!" she snapped and Shelton started to cry and Kevin and Tamara looked at each other confused.
"Did we miss something?" Kevin Nash asked.
"Yeah fill me in," Krystal asked wondering why LC was so upset.
"Those golden earrings are cursed, they belong to a woman who somebody wants dead and we're here to save her life, you dig?" LC said.
"See she said "you dig", see I told you when I say something its cool, man I wish Tristen was here so I could rub it in his 11 year-old face!" Kevin Nash said and was meant with the stone faces of everyone else in the car who had been listening when he wasn't, "Sorry what was that about saving a dead woman?" Nash asked.
"Oh my God," Krystal said removing the golden earrings from her ears, "How could you let me where these things?!" she snapped at Shelton and hit him on the arm.
"Ow!" Shelton yelped.
"Welcome to my world," Kevin Nash said handing Shelton a handkerchief to wipe his teary eyes.
"LC honey could you say that again?" Tamara said not sure what she heard was real or something out of a horror story, "Who are you here to save?"
"The girl with the golden earrings," LC answered.
"You mean me?" Krystal said.
"No you're not the original owner," Cameron said.
"Then who is?" Kevin Nash asked.
"That's what we're here to find out," LC answered and Shelton tried to calm Krystal down but she was visibly shaken up by this news just like Angie Mysterio and Ashley Massaro had been.
"Don't worry Krystal the Kliq do a much better job of comforting beautiful women," Kevin Nash said and Tamara rolled her eyes.
"And if you believe that, you'll believe anything," she said and leaned over her seat and got closer to the ARK Angels as Kevin Nash pulled into Universal Studios, "tell us more about these golden earrings," she asked the ARK Angels.
"I told you all we know so far, right Cameron?" LC asked her boyfriend who was getting a revelation from God.
"Booker T and Sharmell gave you those earrings didn't they Krystal?" Cameron asked Shelton's fiancé.
"Yes, how did he know that?" she asked LC who smiled.
"He's the Amazing Cameron," she said proudly and kissed Cameron on the cheek.
"Oh yeah you're the one that talks to God," Kevin Nash remembered and Tamara rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Shawn told you that ages ago, don't you remember anything?" she said in exasperation.
"I remember that you love me and that I rock in bed," Kevin Nash said.
"Whoa too much information," Cameron said covering his baby sister's ears.
"Sorry, in the Kliq we talk about sex – a lot," Kevin Nash said.
"And that's why our son's in therapy twice a week," she told Shelton who now was seriously worried that Krystal was in the Kliq without him to keep an eye on her.
"I can see now why Tristen is always complaining about you guys, we are in a serious situation here and God cannot talk to me if ya'll are talking about stuff you shouldn't be talking about in front of children!" Cameron said and The Nashes buttoned their lips in shame, "Thank you," Cameron said.
"What else did God tell you?" LC asked him.
"There's a connection between everyone that has worn the golden earrings so far," Cameron said.
"What is it?" Cheyenne asked, "Is it that they're all pretty?"
"No Chey," Cameron replied smiling at his baby sister's innocence, "All their last names begin with the letter M; Aaliyah Mysterio, Ashley Massaro and Krystal Marshall,"
LC and Cheyenne gasped, "And the woman in their nightmares, does her last name start with M too?" LC asked Cameron.
"Yes," he replied, "I'm gonna call my father and tell him to get all the Divas whose last names begin with the letter M and keep an eye on them,"
The Nashes, Shelton and Krystal couldn't believe what they were hearing, "What about the TNA Knockouts, are they included in this?" Kevin Nash asked.
"No," Cameron said, "but I need to talk to Booker and Sharmell,"
"Well they won't be here until a little bit later," Kevin Nash said.
"Uncle Nash don't you understand we're talking about saving a woman's life? Call them and tell them to get on the next plane outta Houston this cannot wait," Cameron said and Kevin Nash nodded pulling out his cell-phone and dialing Booker T's number.
"What do you guys wanna do until then?" Shelton asked them.
"What we do best – pray," Cameron said and Shelton, Krystal and Tamara looked at each other and they were all thinking the same-thing; these weren't no ordinary kids and this was going to be an extraordinary day in beautiful Orlando, Florida.
