Thanks so much for the reviews..Keep reading and reviewing. I own nothing but Tex. This is a work of fiction..so I'm using poetic license to entertain myself and hopefully others. Keep reading and reviewing.

Tex was trying to formulate some kind of reply when she saw Mark storming toward them and he didn't look happy.

"I don't think thats a good idea." She said and walked off just as Mark reached his father.

"Dad what the hell are you doing?" Mark snapped.

"You scared her off, Mark go catch your flight, I'm going to be around until she agrees to talk to me." Frank said.

"Fine, have it your way. I have to go. I called the house to talk to the girls and the nanny said that Sara had been gone four days with no word. I need to check on them and go pick up the boys, I'm bringing them on tour with me for a few weeks." Mark said.

"Good..see if you can salvage your relationship with them." Frank said and left.

"Fuck." Mark muttered under his breath. Why did his whole life have to start falling apart now.

Tex walked in the restaurant and saw Randy sitting at a table with John and Sam.

So the bitch was here to visit Randy, She got a grin on her face. This was going to be fun.

Hunter came in behind her. "Hey Trips want to join me for breakfast?"

"Sure." He said throwing his arm around her shoulder.

They made their way over to Randy's table. "Can we join you?" Tex asked.

"Sure baby." Randy said smiling at her.

She watched as Sam practically hissed at her. Good she thought. Tex leaned over and gave Randy a long hug and then gave him a peck on the lips.

Tex laughed to herself as the gorgon looked like her head was going to start spinning.

Tex sat down between Randy and John and her and Hunter ordered there food.

Tex turned to John. "Morning Cena."

John smiled. Tex knew exactly what she was doing. Sam looked like she was about to explode.

John leaned over and whispered in her ear. "You're being bad."

She just grinned

There food arrived and John had to bite his lips not to laugh as she hung all over Randy. She must have kissed him at least ten times. Randy being the typical dumb oblivious man, didn't have inkling to the undercurrents between Sam and Tex..

Hunter however had caught on early and was sending some not so nice looks Tex's way.

She chose to ignore them, she was having too much fun, she wanted to see how long it took Sam to lose it.

"Randy..I was going out to visit Bob and Elaine today, can I get a ride with you?" She asked grabbing his hand.

"Sure baby." He said kissing her hand.

"NO."

Randy turned to look at Sam.

Sam stuttered. "What I mean is, we are having dinner with your parents, its just for family."

Randy got that cold look he had perfected on his face. "Tex is family Sam."

Sam tried to back track. "What I meant is , your mom invited us two, it would be rude to show up with a extra person."

Randy was starting to get steamed. " Tex don't need a invitation, she's family."

John watched this in amusement and then looked at Tex to see her next move.

Tex cast her eyes down and bit her lip. "It's okay Randy, she's right, your mom probably wanted it to be you and Sam, I mean you guys just got engaged and all, I'll drive out and visit them this morning."

John had to put his head down when he seen the tears in her eyes. He had to hand it to Tex, she was good.

Randy pulled Tex out of her chair and into his lap. "Tex, you can come to dinner, don't get upset."

"No Randy, its okay. I'm going to drive out there in a bit, I'll see you later." She said and kissed him.

Sam was purple with Rage, but didn't say a word. Tex got up and smiled at John.

"John would you like to be my body guard for the day?"

John grinned. "Sure thing Tex." He said jumping up.

Hunter got up to. "See you guys later." He said to Sam and Randy.

Tex grinned she heard Sam and Randy arguing. Maybe Randy would wake up and realize what a bitch Sam was.

When they got outside the restaurant, Hunter took her arm. "John excuse us for a minute."

John looked at Tex and she nodded. John walked to wait at the lobby doors.

"What was that shit back there, you think thats funny? Hunter asked.

"Sam is a bitch, I cant stand her." Tex said pulling her arm away from Hunter.

"Well you're not marrying her, Randy is." Hunter snapped.

"Whatever Trips, I have to go." Tex said.

"Tex you're attitude sucks, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Tex was tired of everybody trying to control her. "You know what, if you don't like my attitude, stay the hell away from me."

Tex looked at Hunter and seen the steam rolling out of his ears practically.

"Tex, go visit Bob, I'll talk to you tonight." He snapped and walked off.

Tex walked over to John. "He looks mad."

"Yes he is, lets go."

John grabbed her hand and and grinned at her. "We'll take my rental."

Tex figured she should pull her hand loose, but damned if she wanted to. His big hand felt good holding hers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jodi opened the door and smiled at Scott.

Scott pressed a quick kiss to her lips and smiled when she blushed.

"Mark already get the boys?"

Jodi grinned. "Yea and a lot more than he bargained for.

Scott sat down. "What do your mean?"

Jodi sank down beside him. "He went to check on the girls, Sara's took off and been gone for nearly five days, and she's not answering her cell phone. The nanny quit when he got there, saying she wasn't getting paid enough to take care of the girls days and nights without a break. He had to take the girls with him."

Scott threw back his head and laughed. "He's getting exactly what he deserves."

"Yea its already wearing on him, The girls were running around, crying and fighting, he looked ready to pull his hair out." Jodi said.

"So you ready, I got three days off, I got us a flight booked to Florida." Scott said pulling her close to kiss her again.

Jodi thought her heart would beat out of its chest. "Umm yea."

Scott smiled and pulled her up. "I'll get your bags to the car."

Jodi watched him taking her stuff out the door. She hoped she was doing the right thing. She really liked Scott. They hadn't slept together yet, but she was hoping that would change on this trip.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

John sat at the Orton's table and filled his face with homemade apple pie.

Elaine smiled. She loved to see someone enjoying her food. "Mrs. Orton this pie is great." John said.

Tex and Bob laughed. John sure did like to eat.

"Tex, lets take a walk." Bob said getting up.

"I'll be back in a bit." Tex told John and her and Bob walked out the back door.

They strolled through the back yard and they both sat down in the gazebo.

Bob looked at Tex. "So how are you holding up?"

"Okay I guess." Tex said.

"Randy told me you found out about him and your Mama." Bob said.

"Yea, I wasn't thrilled, but shit happens I guess."

Bob took her hand. "Randy would never hurt you Tex, not on purpose."

Tex squeezed his hand. "I know Bob."

"Do they have any leads on the case?" He asked.

"No not really, too many people on the list, and whoever it is thinks I know something, they tried to kill me." Tex said.

Randy told me, but Tex, I just don't think any one in that company would try to hurt you no matter what, even if they thought you knew." Bod said sitting back.

"Well who would want to hurt me?" Tex asked.

"That I don't know, but I don't think it's whoever killed your mama, none of the guys would hurt you." Bob said with conviction.

Tex looked out over the yard, her mind deep in thought, if it wasn't the killer, then who had it out for her?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark was getting frustrated, he had left a million messages for Sara and she wasn't answering. How the hell was he supposed to go on the road and work , with four kids.

Chasey pushed her little sister over again causing her to start squalling. Mark grabbed her and was about to tan her hide when Gunner came over and pulled his sister out of his hands. "Dad, you have to give them something to do, or they'll just keep fighting."

Gunner rounded up some crayons and some paper for the girls and sat them down in front of the TV and turned on the Disney channel.

Him and Kevin had been sitting around playing video games, enjoying the fact the girls were driving dad crazy, but Gunner figured he better step in before the girls got their butts spanked.

"I still say a spanking would straighten her out." Mark grumbled.

Gunner rolled his eyes. "She's fine now, just let her color."

Mark watched as his oldest son sat down and helped them draw. Mark got up and looked at the small apartment he rented after he divorced Sara. He had given her the house because of the girls. Mark grabbed a beer and sat watching Gunner occupy the girls. Mark loved his kids, he just never had to deal with them. When he was on the road..Jodi had raised the boys and when they got divorced, he was already a stranger to them.

Then when he married Sara and she wanted kids, he was fine with it, she was the one that had to take care of them, he saw the girls a couple of times a month, when they started getting on his nerves, he handed them to Sara or the nanny.

He had got used to never having to deal with kids unless he felt like, few hours here and there. He looked at the four kids sitting in the small living room and realized he didn't know a damn thing about them.

He looked up when Kevin walked over to stand beside him. "Will you play ball with me, theres a park across the street, the girls can play and you can toss the ball with me and Gunner."

Mark realized all four of the kid's eyes were on him and Kevin looked scared to death.

Mark stood up. "Sure lets go."

Kevin let out his breath like he had been holding it. Kevin walked over to Gunner. "See I told you he would, he wants us here."

Mark looked as Gunner shrugged and helped his sisters put there shoes on. He wondered if it was already to late with Gunner.

When John and Tex got back to the hotel. Tex told him she was going to move her rental from the street to the parking lot. The parking lot had been full last night, she wanted to get it in the parking lot now so she wouldn't have to go out again later and move it.

John waited for her as she pulled it off the street, he panicked when he seen the car gaining speed , he watched helpless as she turned the car so it wouldn't hit the hotel wall and she hit another car instead.

John ran through the parking lot and jerked open the door which was jambed, he had to brace his foot and jerk it lose to get the door open.

By this time, several wrestlers were running out to see what happened.

"Tex you okay?"

Tex had hit her head on the dash but she managed to take John's hand and he pulled her out catching her in his arms.

Tex leaned against John. She was dizzy and didn't want to move. Shawn came running over. "Tex, are you okay?"

John kept her in his arms. "I think she may need stitches on her head. Call the doc and tell him, I'm on my way up."

Shawn nodded and called the doctor to let him know Tex was hurt.

Hunter came over and decided to follow John up with Tex. Shawn opened the hood of the car and did some looking. He wasn't happy about what he saw.

Dave and Rick came running over to see what happened.

Shawn told them that Tex seemed alright other than the cut on her head.

"But we have a bigger problem. Her break line was cut, she didn't have any breaks."

Dave looked shock. "We got to find who's doing this, before Tex gets really hurt."

Rick nodded in agreement. " I'm going to call Scott and let him know whats going on."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tex did need stitches, but the Doc said she didn't have a concussion. John carried her down to Hunter's room and laid her on one of the beds.

"I'll check on you in the morning." John said and then leaned over and kissed her lips. Hunter frowned but didn't comment.

"Thanks Cena." Tex said laying back on the bed.

John thought about it and kissed her again. "Okay then, till tomorrow."

John left and Hunter came over and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Are you going to get mad at me if I show any concern about this?"

Tex turned her eyes toward Hunter and he seen the fear in them. Hunter pulled her over in his arms. "It's alright Tex, I'm going to make sure you stay safe, you're not getting out of my site again."

Tex wrapped her arms around him. "Trips I'm sorry I been such a bitch to you lately."

Hunter rubbed her back. "Well maybe its because I've been a tiny bit unbendable and refuse to see that you have grown up huh?"

Tex laughed. "Well maybe just a tiny bit."

"Tex, its hard to let go, I still see you as a kid, I'll try harder not to be so over bearing." Hunter said.

"If you feel up to it call Scott, he's worried about you." Hunter said.

Hunter got up to order them some dinner and she grabbed her cell to call Scott.

"Hello."

"Hey Scott." She said.

"Baby are you okay?" Scott asked.

"Yea, I'm fine, a few stitches thats all." She said.

"Tex, I'm heading back in the morning."

"Scott no way, theres nothing you can do. I'm with Trips and he's on me like white on rice, I'm sure he's going to be my shadow, I'm fine, I want you to stay and have a good time with Jodi." Tex said sitting up.

"Tex..." he started.

"No Scott, I mean it, I'm fine..really all the guys are here and Trips said Kev is going to meet us in the next town, so everything is cool, kapish?"

Scott chuckled. "Yea okay, but I'm checking in twice a day and you better answer your phone."

"Yes sir." She said.

"I love you and I'll talk to you in the morning." Scott said.

"I love you too Scott." She said and hung up.

Tex laid back on the bed, she knew now she was going to have to start taking this shit seriously. Some one was trying to kill her and they were doing a damn fine job of getting to her.
