Chapter 11-

The tension between the two of them could be cut with a knife. Maria just wanted to break down, fall into Jeff's arms and cry her sorrows away. She knew that she couldn't she knew that she had to stay strong.

She snapped "I have nothing to say to you Jeff please leave."

As she went to slam the door in his face he stuck his foot out. He quietly pleaded "Please Ria you have to let me explain."

The fiery redhead shouted "You don't get to call me that anymore. Only my friends call me that."

Artistic enigma Jeff Hardy quickly responded "I am your friend. I want to be your friend I need to be your friend. Please give me a chance, if you still hate me in four minutes than I will leave and never darken your door again."

A conflicted Maria fought the thoughts in her mind "I could never hate you; I love you with all of my heart." She was struggling to stay strong but assertively said "You have three minutes."

She walked to her dining table and sat down looking at Jeff as if he were about to be interviewed by the police.

Jeff did not want to sit down. He knew that he had to tread as carefully as possible.

He slowly started to say "Maria I am so sorry about everything that you saw."

He stopped as she started to sarcastically laugh. "Oh your sorry, I was not expecting you to say that all. Jeff you have really taken me by surprise with that one."

Jeff was a little annoyed by her sarcasm but wasn't going to let it affect him. He carried on "It was a drunken mess of a party. I was out of my face, I had been drinking, smoking weed, snorting methadone and coke, I had even had mushrooms that night, and I didn't know what I was doing."

Maria flicked her back and spoke sarcastically "How charming for that wonderful girl you were with."

A look of concerned confusement came across her face as Jeff suddenly fell to his knees. She watched in disbelief as tears started to fall down his face. He sobbed "I don't know who I am anymore."

She didn't move straight away worried that it was just a game that he was playing.

She looked down to him saying "What are you talking about?"

His distraught eyes looked back at her and said "Ever since Gregory died I haven't been the same. I have been spiraling down a hole and with each passing moment the hole gets deeper. I don't eat properly, I don't sleep properly, I can't hold down a job thank the good lord that they postponed my interview a few days otherwise I would have screwed that up to. I am a state and I don't know what to do."

Maria's stunning eyes were fixed on Jeff's tears. Her love for him wouldn't let her sit there and do nothing any longer. She knelt down and cradled his head onto her shoulder. Jeff sobbed "Please help me Maria."

Her soft hands and slender arms rocked his head as she tried to comfort him "I will help you Jeff but this is your last chance if you throw it back in my face again then you are beyond help."

Jeff nodded his head as he rested it on her shoulder. He answered "I won't let you down again I promise."

Maria felt a tear fall from her left eye. She continued to cradle him on her shoulders. In her mind she whispered "Don't break my heart again."

…..

"Hey Randall I've got you another cup of coffee." Smiled Stacy as she walked back into his office.

Randy moaned "Please don't full name me it makes me feel like I have been told off."

She laughed and handed him the coffee before asking "So where are we at?"

The very professional officer answered "Well I am starting to piece together the main players in the organization. I'm still missing a lot of names but the names that I have certainly make interesting reading."

Randy handed a file to Stacy. He watched intently as she put on her glasses and started to read. He blinked his eyes a couple of times trying to get how attractive she was out of his mind. Every time he looked up from his work and towards her smooth long sexy legs he almost passed out.

He quickly snapped out of his fantasy as she looked back towards him. "If all this is right then they have some serious muscle. The organization is so well protected we don't even have real names for some of these people."

She laid the papers down on the table and started pointing to each one. "Randy tell me what you know about each one of them."

Randy cleared his throat and said "What we have on these people is the bare minimum. We have information up to a certain point and then nothing. I believe is that's the moment when the two top men first took over the organization.

He sat down and started to go through them "This is the Paul White, more commonly known as the Big Show. He was in jail for ten years after a restaurant gave his wife food poisoning."

"This man here is known as Lord Tensai. He is an American who fled to Japan to escape a murder charge against him. That was eight years ago. We know of him just not where he is."

"The third guy is Dave Batista, he is an assassin. We understand that people have tried to assassinate him on fifty occasions just to be killed themselves."

"That's Skip Sheffield, more commonly known as Ryback. Has been under the radar for a long time I don't really have anything on him."

"And finally this is Brock Lesner. He is ruthless and he is heartless. At the last reported address for him we found guns, knives, ancient weaponry and a book with the names of every person that he has killed. The book was titled my book of forgotten souls. It was 123 pages full and had more blank pages to follow."

"We believe they are all close to the top two men. We have other minor names that we need to investigate further and we believe there are four spots that we don't even have a lead for. Along with the two main guys we believe there are two others that are extremely high up in the organization. So think we need to complete the mob tree so to speak before we decide out first move."

Randy had finished his introductions of the five men. He looked towards Stacy who had frozen and looked very scared. Randy could see something was wrong. He stood up and walked close to Stacy "What is it Stacy?"

As he rested his hand on her shoulder he could feel that she had gone very cold. She tentivly answered "I have been a detective for ten years and have seen horrible things and met evil people yet it's still horrifying to think that five people like that are working together and there not even the ones pulling the strings. Whoever those two men are must be sick and twisted to bring those five together. We have to be very careful Randy I don't want you to be in danger."

Randy gently rubbed the top of Stacy's shoulder. He softly said "I will make sure none of us are in danger. I promise you that."

Stacy smiled as she placed her hand on his. She turned around and said "That's enough for today. I like to work with a clear head. You may as well clock off for the day I will tell Laurinitus we are following up leads."

Randy replied "Thanks' Stace."

He walked towards the door before stopping. He closed his eyes and gulped before turning around and saying "Do you want to go for a drink tonight?"

Stacy quickly answered "I thought we were going to keep this professional."

Randy laughed and sarcastically answered "Yes by asking my work colleague out for a drink after a stressful day I'm practically ripping her clothes off."

Stacy laughed and replied "Very funny. Ok I will go for a drink with you as a friend."

Randy smiled "Great see you at seven."

She smiled back "Looking forward to it."

….

The glamorous and stunning Trish Stratus had to get away from the apartment. She knew exactly what her brothers were like and she knew exactly how Alberto and Eve would react. She took another glance at her phone to see twenty missed calls and the same amount of messages.

As she sat on the bench she smiled at the everyday goings on at central park. The birds chirping, owners playing with their dogs, little children playing and running without a car in the world.

She always liked to sit in the park when something was on her mind. The striking blond was startled as she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Hey lass mind if I join you."

Trish gazed into his Irish eyes and answered "It's a free country."

The friendly bartender smiled and sat down. He went to speak but was cut off by Trish saying "So are you planning to get my brothers drunk again tonight?"

Sheamus smiled and just answered "Those two are quite the pair."

Trish snapped "Exactly so they don't need encouraging. Just because you bar is common rough house I do not want my brothers to be sucked in to that lifestyle again."

Sheamus could see that Trish was putting on an act. As she tried to be assertive she was gazing into his eyes, looking at them as if they were a rare jewel that no one else had seen. He eyes looked up as Sheamus got to his feet.

A confused look came across her face as he gently took her hand and softly kissed it. She didn't resist or pull away just let him do it, before snapping in a posh voice "And what was that for?"

Sheamus smiled and replied "When you pull away all the crap, all the caviar, the expensive wine, the snobby friends and that infinite amount of money I can imagine you are lovely to be around. So what that was for was to see which of the two Trish's is the real one and I think I have my answer."

He softly smiled at her again and walked away leaving Trish questioning who she really was.

…..

A friendly work collogue asked "Are you ok Torrie you seem a little distracted?"

Torrie was a little startled but answered "I'm fine just can't stop thinking about someone that's all."

The friend replied "Aww that is so sweet. Phil is a lucky man."

The beautiful blonde nervously replied "Yeah Phil."

Torrie's thoughts started to run wild through her head. "Those eyes, I can't stop thinking about them. Oh and that smile it could make butter melt, THAT BODY, it makes my eyes water and he is such a lovely man so friendly so thoughtful I just…"

Suddenly she stopped thinking. She looked around the room worried she had been speaking out aloud. Her soft voice whispered "Oh no."

…..

A conflicted John Cena paced around his house trying to figure out what was happening. He muttered "I can't fall for another man's girl, it's just not happening."

He looked around as he heard Cody say "What had got under your skin? You have been pacing for like half an hour."

John answered "It's nothing. Any way you look smart I'm sure Miss Ashley will be very impressed."

A nervous Cody answered "Maybe. I don't mind to be honest I just want to get this over and done with."

Cody yelped a little as John grabbed his arm and put him in the chair. He sternly spoke "What is going on with you Cody? I understand that you get nervous round new people I get that but in the bar last night this girl was coming on to you. It wasn't in a slutty way she actually really likes you. So what is the problem?"

Cody quickly answered "Well don't you think she was coming on a little strong, sometimes a girl needs to wait a while maybe lay the foundations."

The brotherly John Cena answered "This morning I had sex Cody. A girl turned up on my doorstep and we had sex. Afterwards she said that she just wanted to sleep with me to say she had. That now she could tick me off her to do list and that we would be friends. That is coming on strong."

His younger brother moaned "Is there a point to this story or do you just want to brag?"

John smiled "Well sort of both but what I am saying is, out of all the guys that she gets coming into that bar, asking her out hitting on her and she chooses you. It's not like you even asked her out she approached you so how about showing this girl a little bit of respect and common courtesy instead of being a complete and utter miserable dick about it."

The annoyed older brother put his glass in the kitchen and said "You are my brother and I love you and I will stand by you through anything you clearly know that. But whatever is going on in your head right now you need to talk to me about it or sort it out because this is our new life now and you need to start feeling comfortable with it. I'm going to sleep for a little bit I will catch you later."

The Muscular Cena walked into his room and swung the door behind him leaving it a little bit ajar.

Cody ran his hands over his face and muttered to himself "Your right John I do need to start feeling comfortable."

….

The lovely barmaid Ashley Massaro was waiting in Angels for her date with Cody. She was wearing a purple top and blue jeans. She wanted to dress up in an elegant dress but it just wasn't something that she felt comfortable with. A beaming smile came across her face as she saw Cody walk into the bar.

He walked up to her and gave her a bunch of flower.

The sweet blonde smelt them and politely said "Thank you Cody that was very kind of you. So shall we get a drink?"

Young Cody answered "I did have an idea of something we could do this afternoon."

Ashley raised her eyes a little and answered "You're a little forward aint ya."

Cody laughed "No I don't mean that. Have you ever been racing before?"

Ashley replied in a confused voice "Do you mean cars?"

He scratched the back of his ear and said "No horse racing or dog racing."

She replied "No I haven't why?"

The defiant younger brother of John answered "Well I was wondering would you like to go with me this afternoon. It's something different."

Ashley's beaming smile widened. She thought "He must like me otherwise he would have just coasted through this date."

She took a second and replied "Ok I would lie that. I will just grab my coat."

Cody quickly said "Oh one more thing. You can't tell John."

She nodded her head a little confused but agreed. She got her coat and the two of them left the bar.

Cody muttered under his breath so Ashley couldn't hear "Now I will feel comfortable on this date."

…

A small tiny hand slowly started to turn the door handle. She softly opened the door and shut it behind her. Her wide eyes looked around the apartment scanning checking for anyone or anything.

As her chilling grin widened she bent down to take of her shoes. Next came her top and trousers as she now stood wearing nothing but her underwear. The slim attractive girl skipped towards a carrier bag that she had left on the kitchen side. She smiled rolling her neck as she lifted her arms and put on a black lace nighty. That stopped just before her knees.

Her tiny toes didn't make a sound as she skipped around the two chairs and sofa putting her shoes and clothes into the carrier bag. Her almost vacant smile got bigger as she skipped to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She took the band out of her hair letting a smooth jet black hair fall down to her shoulder.

She skipped back to her bag and put bright red lipstick over her soft lips. Her skipping took her towards the already ajar door.

As she gently opened the door so not to make a sound she put her head round the door and looked in as the muscly large body of John Cena slept. She tip toed round the bed and whispered "I'm sorry I'm late coming to bed our little Josephine just wouldn't settle. I think she likes her daddy to read her a bedtime story."

Her tiny hands lifted John's bed cover and climbed in next to him. She softly leaned over and kissed his shoulder leaving lipstick lip shaped mark on his shoulder. Her eyes smiled as he moved slightly.

Her mind heard John's voice say "I love you darling." Even though John was in a deep sleep and hadn't heard, felt or said a thing.

She smiled softly and gently ran her hand along his shoulder. Her chilling smile broke again as she said "AJ loves you too John."

End of Chapter 11

…..

That end bit was really creepy to write Lol.

Thank you very much as always for all of the wonderful reviews. I love reading them so much and thank you for your opinions on the three questions I asked. I was right about the Punk landslide Lol. The other answers were very interesting and I noticed Randy/Stacy is a popular one so I want to try and develop that little storyline a lot more

I still love writing this story. I thought I had hit a bit of a writing wall with Chapter 10 but apparently not and all my wonderful readers and reviewers are responsible for that so Thank you.

Really hope you enjoy this chapter.

Take it easy take care and have a good second half of the week.

Bye Bye

Matt
