Thanks for the reviews. I only own Tex. I dont own WWE or any wrestlers depicted in this story.
Hunter heard her moaning and got up flipping on the light. Tex was twisting and turning in her sleep.
He went over to set on the side of the bed. "Tex, wake up." He said putting his hand on her shoulder.
Tex's eyes came open and she stared up at Hunter.
"You okay?" He asked.
She sat up slowly. "Yea just that same stupid dream."
Hunter got her some water and handed it to her.
Tex took it and took a few sips.
"Scott said you been having some weird dreams lately, anything to do with your mama?" Hunter asked sitting down on the bed beside her.
Tex sat the water down and leaned back on the headboard. "I don't know." She said her hands plucking nervously at the blanket.
Hunter knew whatever was in her head was bothering her and she probably didn't want to talk about, but she needed too.
Hunter scooted over beside her and drew her down to lay against him. "Talk to me Tex."
Tex tried to gather her thought for a minute. "Trips, these dreams feels like memory's and it scares me, I feel like if I think about it hard enough, I'll know who killed mama, but for some reason, it scares me like I don't want to know."
"Tell me what you see in the dream." Hunter said taking her hand in his.
"I see someone standing over my mama with a pillow, but the room is dark, I cant really see him, plus mama gave me something to make me sleep, I guess if I did get up, whatever she gave made me kinda drugged."
Hunter looked down at Tex. "Did she do that often, give you stuff to make you sleep?"
Hunter was pissed, this was something he knew nothing about, He hated that woman, Tex was lucky she had died, if she hadn't no telling what would have happened to her.
Tex shrugged. "Often enough."
"Do you remember anything else?" Hunter asked.
"Just some one telling me, it was a bad dream, and they put me back in the tub, told me to go back to sleep, but I kept my eyes shut tight, I remember that."
Hunter thought about what she said, maybe it was someone she knew and trusteed, maybe she didn't want to remember who it was. If the killer knew Tex saw him at the time, why wait to now to try to kill her, it didn't make sense.
"Tex get some sleep." Hunter said bending down to kiss her on top of the head.
Tex closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep. Hunter was worried about her and this whole situation, and worried about the fact the killer might be someone they knew and trusted.

Tex woke early and got dressed and slipped out before Hunter got up. She decided to go have some breakfast and chill for a while before all the guys got up, they would be up her ass for the rest of the day.
She ran into Jason in the lobby. "Hey Tex, hows the head."
"A little sore, but I'm okay." She said.
"The local police is handling this case, they say the break line was cut. I'm thinking is has something to do with your mama's case, you need to be careful." Jason said.
"I will..so you done with the interviews?"
"Yea were headed back this morning, but I'll be in touch." Jason said.
Tex shook his hand and thanked him and wondered into the restaurant. She seen Rick and went over to his table. "Hey Gramps." She said grinning.
Rick smiled. "Sit down Tex."
Frank frowned, he sat just a couple of tables away from Tex and Rick Flair. It bothered him, that his grandchild was close to these other people, when she should have a family. Him and Mark were her family, but she wouldn't even talk to him yesterday.
He couldn't blame her, Mark had built the wall between Tex and him. Maybe Mark didn't want anything to do with her, but Frank did, and he intended to hang around until she would talk to him.
"So how are you feeling?" Rick asked.
"Fine, my head hurts a little, but I'm okay." She said picking at her food.
"Tex, are you okay really?" He asked.
"No, I been having weird dreams, Trips and Scott think I seen something the night mama died and blocked it out, I don't know, I'm just really confused."
Rick watched her. She was a mess, he wished she had never found out about her mama, this whole thing was tearing her up. "What kind of dreams?"
"I see somebody standing over mama with a pillow and then whoever it is tells me its just a dream, I don't know its just weird."
Rick took a drink of coffee. "You cant see who it is?"
Tex shook her head. "No, I keep my eyes shut so I cant see."
"Tex, maybe its best if they never find out, sometimes things are better left alone." He said.
"You may be right, but hell somebody is trying to kill me, kind of hard to leave it alone now." Tex said.
"Tex, whoever is trying to kill you or hurt you, its nothing to do with your mama's murder." Rick said.
Tex frowned and looked at Rick. "How can you be so sure?" She asked.
"Tex, not one of the wrestlers around here would ever hurt you, in fact anyone of us would do anything to protect you, remember that Tex." Rick said taking her hand and squeezing it.
Tex smiled at Rick. "Yea I know..its just with so many secrets floating around, its hard to know who I can trust anymore."
"Tex, you can trust all of us, we would never hurt you, okay?" He said.
Tex looked in Rick's eyes and she knew. "You're right." But that still didn't answer the question of who hated her enough to want her dead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tex had just walked out of the restaurant when Hunter rounded the corner. "Missy where the hell have you been, someone is trying to kill you and you're wandering around by yourself." He snapped.
"Trips, I had breakfast with Rick okay, chill." Tex said.
Hunter took a deep breath. "Sorry I was just worried when I woke up and you were gone."
Tex stood on her tiptoes planting a kiss on his cheek. "I'm fine."
"I would like to talk to you."
Tex sighed and turned around. Him again. She really didn't need this.
Hunter knew who he was, Mark looked just like him, just a younger version.
"Look I'm kinda having a bad week here, I don't need anything else messing with my head today." Tex said.
Frank frowned. "What happened to your head?
Tex sighed. "Somebody decided it would be nice to cut the break line on my car."
"Why would someone do that?" Frank asked. He knew that her mothers death was being investigated, but why would someone want to hurt her?
Hunter saw she was getting upset. "Tex, why don't you go find Randy, I'm sure he's up." Hunter said.
Tex nodded and headed for the elevators.
Frank turned to Hunter. "You have no right to try to come between me and my granddaughter."
Hunter actually laughed. "Your granddaughter, please. I don't have a right? I have every right. Your son has treated that little girl like garbage since the day she was born, she spent most of her life trying to get one kind word from him, trying to get Mark to love her, and where the hell have you been for the last eighteen years, when she needed someone? Now all of a sudden you want to play grandpa?"
Hunter turned to leave.
"Please wait." Frank said.
Hunter sighed and turned around.
"Look, I just found out about her, Mark kept this from me, if I would have known, I would have come and got her myself and raised her, whether Mark liked it or not. I just want a chance to get to know her." Frank said.
"Tex, can do what she wants, if she wants to talk to you, she can, I'm not trying to stop that, but she is under a lot of stress, she don't need anymore." Hunter said.
"Can we sit down somewhere and talk, I want to know whats going on with her." Frank said.
"Come on lets get some coffee and we'll talk." Hunter said. He felt sorry for the man, he seemed genuine, it wasn't his fault Mark had kept him in the dark. Still if Tex didn't want anything to do with him, he was going to have to deal with it.

Mark made sure the girls were strapped in as the plane took off. The boys were seated in front of him, playing their games. He sighed. He never realized how much work kids were.
He was frustrated. Sara was no where to be found, what kind of woman went off and left her kids.
Strangely enough, the girls hadn't mentioned her once, which was weird in itself. Mark realized, he didn't really know much about how Sara and the girls were with each other, he was on the road all the time, how many times had he seen the girls with Sara, a handful, when he did go home and visit when they were married, Sara made sure the nanny kept the girls out of their hair, so they could spend the majority of his time at home in the bedroom. It had suited both of them, they both had a high sex drive.
Mark felt like idiot, that he just assumed how things were at home, that he didn't really know.
"Chasey, do you know where Mommy's at?" He asked his oldest daughter.
She looked up at Mark with eyes so like Sara's. "No daddy..she never stays at home."
Mark frowned, what the hell did that mean. Mark looked over at Gracie who was kicking the seat in front of her, he noticed she had to slide all the way to the edge to accomplish this.
Dark hair and green eyes, she was a beauty. She turned to look at him and he caught his breath and looked away, she looked enough like Tex at that age to kick him in the gut.
He had to find Sara and soon.

Randy pulled Tex close. "You okay, I tried to come see you last night, but you were asleep, and your guard dog wouldn't let me in." He said smiled.
Tex smiled. "I'll live..wheres Sam?" She asked as she walked in his room.
"She headed home a little while ago." Randy said as he closed his door. " John told me some one cut the break line on your car."
Tex lay back on the bed. "Yea."
"Tex, we'll find who's doing this, its just a matter of time, until then, just make sure you're not alone, I want to see someone with you all the times." Randy said.
Tex watched him as he packed his stuff up. They had a flight to Anaheim at two.
Randy made some coffee after he packed up, and he got a cup and handed her one.
She sat up and sipped at the coffee.
"So, I heard you and John's been lip locking." Randy said casually.
Tex about spit the coffee that was in her mouth. "What the fuck do you guys do, call each other at the end of the day and keep each other up to date on what I'm doing? Who told you? Scott or Hunter?"
Randy grinned. "Actually we do that, but both of them snitched like jail house rats, they want me to have a talk with John."
"Randy if you say one word to John, I will kick your ass." Tex threatened.
"Calm down, I'm not going to beat him up or anything, actually I think its great, you're my two best friends . But you have to tell me what the hell changed over night, you two been fighting for seven years." Randy said.
Tex shrugged. "He's just been nice lately, who knows, besides its nothing serious, you know how John is, he has a different woman every week."
Randy nodded. "Sort of like me." He said grinning.
Tex grabbed a pillow and slapped him in the head and Randy fell over laughing. "Why are you with her Randy?" She said laying back on the bed beside him.
"I don't know, I been dating her on and off for years, she knows me, I know she can be hard to take, but when its just me and her she's different and I feel like its getting time to settle down, I mean I love women, as I'm sure you know, but once I marry her, I'll stop all this running around." Randy said.
"Okay, I just want you to be happy." Tex said rolling over beside him.
Randy pulled Tex in his arms. I'm worried about you Tex, not about John, he knows I'll kill him if he hurts you, I mean with someone trying to hurt you. Maybe you should take some time off and go lay low for a while, you could stay at my place or go stay with Kev."
"Running away is not the answer. I'll be fine." Tex said.
"I guess I'll just have to keep you with me at all times." Randy said.
Tex poked him in the side. "I've got enough baby sitters, thank you very much. Let me up, I have to go pack my stuff up."
Randy grinned. "I don't know, maybe I'll just keep you here." He said tickling her ribs.
""Quit bitch." Tex said laughing.
"Ooooo Name calling." He said tickling her harder.
Tex fell back laughing. "Okay...let me up."
Randy rolled over freeing her. Tex grinned and leaned over kissing him. "See ya."
Randy got up after she left and started getting dressed, he had to go find John, he was going have a little talk with his friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Randy found John in the gym lifting weights. "Hey man, we need to talk." Randy said sitting down on a weight bench.
John put the weights down and sat up and turned to Randy and picked up his towel wiping his face. "Whats up?"
"Whats up with you and Tex swapping spit?"
John rolled his eyes. "Eloquent as always Orton."
"Whatever, however you say it means the same thing, I don't mind if you two are feeling each other, thats cool, but don't be playing games with Tex, she don't need that shit." Randy said giving John a serious look.
"Randy we just been hanging out and I gave her a few kisses, nothing more there, we're getting to know each other." John said.
He should have known this was coming. Randy was overprotective of Tex.
"Well I'm letting you know, Tex is a good girl, she don't do one night stands, she's a virgin, and you better make sure it stays that way, unless you two fall in love, and you plan on marrying her,you got me?" Randy asked.
John could feel a ass beating getting closer and closer, if Randy found out he had already slept with Tex, and was drunk to boot, Randy was going to kill him. He couldnt believe Randy, the man whore of the year expected Tex to go through life without having sex till she got married.boy did he have a double standered.
"Yea I got you, but I'm sure Tex wouldn't appreciate you going around telling everyone she's a virgin." John said.
"I'm not telling everyone, I'm telling you. Treat her with respect John, I mean it." Randy said.
John stood up grabbing his shirt and pulling it back on. "I will Randy, like I said we're just hanging out."
Randy smiled. "Okay, just wanted to be sure we're straight on this."
John nodded, as long as he kept his mouth shut everything would be fine and he was pretty sure Tex wouldn't go around announcing they had slept together.

Frank sat down in the lobby of the hotel waiting to see if he could catch Tex when she came down. He was more worried now than he had been before. Hunter had told him what was going on, that someone was trying to kill his granddaughter. He also told Frank that Mark was high on the list of suspects.
Frank had a hard time believing his son would kill anybody, but he knew without a doubt no matter how he felt about Tex, he wouldn't harm the girl, besides Mark was out of town when someone had tampered with Tex's car, that should rule Mark out, hopefully it would.
But he was still bothered by the things Hunter told him, Mark had glossed over the details of Tex's life, Hunter hadn't.
Frank knew Mark could be a hard man, but the things he had said and done to Tex, the way he treated her, Frank could scarcely believe this was his son, who had turned a cold heart toward a innocent child. He understood things a lot better since he talked to Hunter. Frank smiled when he seen the young woman come into the lobby with her bag. She was a beautiful girl, he noticed the similar looks between her and Gracie. He got up, he had to try again to get her to talk to him.
He walked over to her smiling. "Tex, I really would like to sit down and talk to you, I know you have a while before you have to be at the airport, I'm on the same flight, have a cup of coffee with me and talk to me." Frank said.
Tex looked up at the big man. He looked so much like Mark, it freaked her out. "I always wondered what Mark would look like if he smiled at me, I guess I know now , come on." She said and turned and headed for the small coffee shop tucked in the corner lobby of the hotel.
Frank smiled and followed her, it was a beginning.
