Chapter Twelve – The God Daughter
The Copelands, Tampa, FL at 12pm, Saturday December 10th, 2021
Edge stood outside his home with his two loves, his daughter Angelica and his wife Angelina. Together they waited for Edge's god daughter Alannah Pirelli to arrive with the Romantabot called Ruby – the robotic dog with the ability to communicate with human beings. It was a beautiful day and the Copelands thought Alannah would appreciate the gorgeous Florida weather in exchange for coming all the way from New Jersey to help out their friends. It had been a few months since Edge heard from Alannah, the case against Amy, Shawn, Chyna, Randy, Trish and Jeff Hardy had consumed the lives of ht entire locker room. Knowing the accused as well as he did made things even harder for him.
Angelina pointed to a limo coming down their street.
"Could that be her?" she asked Edge.
"I don't think so," Edge said, he couldn't imagine what Alannah would be doing in a limo.
"It's pulling up," Angelica said as the limo stopped outside their home. The driver got out and opened the door for a woman dressed elegantly in a black scarf and dress with big Armani sunglasses. She was accompanied by two bodyguards and in her arm she was holding a now metallic black Romantabot.
"Alannah?" Edge said bemused by the woman in front of him.
"Yes Edge it's me, in the flesh. I came as soon as I could; the idea of your friends being accused of a crime they didn't commit is a travesty and I want to do whatever I can to help them," Alannah said and she stepped closer to Edge who hadn't moved and she removed her sunglasses.
"It is you," he said smiling in surprise. "Lany what happened why are you dressed like this?"
"Because I'm in mourning," Alannah replied. "My father just died."
"Oh no," Angelina and Angelica said at the same-time.
"Oh Lany, I'm so sorry and yet you came all the way out here to help my friends," Edge said, he was very touched by Alannah's loyalty and he hugged her.
"There's more for me to tell you let's go inside. My security guards are going to stay out here is that okay?" Alannah asked Edge.
"Sure that's fine," Edge replied frowning. "But why do you need security guards?"
"Like I said I have much more to tell you," Alannah replied and the Copelands welcomed her into their home to find out what she had to say.
"When my father died I inherited his business," Alannah explained to Edge as Angelina put out some ice teas for everyone and Angelica scribbled randomly on her sketch book.
"You're talking about your biological father," Edge said.
"Yes, Nico," Alannah replied with obvious disdain for this man. "A few months ago his brother who I consider to be my real father told me how ill Nico was and that he had written a will and left everything to me. He disowned every member of his family but me and when he died, I got security guards and exotic gifts from all over the world. The fact that everyone knows about me means that there's a price on my head but it also means that I've inherited Nico's power in the mafia underworld," Alannah explained and Angelina and Angelica's mouths dropped on the kitchen table.
"You're in the mafia?" Angelica said in shock.
"No honey but as far as those people are concerned I am, so I'm mafia by association," Alannah said. "People treat me like royalty because of Nico and when they find out how I evaded him in Fiji with your father and his angelic friends they fear me even more. Still I have inherited my father's enemies. I would have been assassinated many times if not for my beloved and oh so protective gift from Trish Orton,"
Alannah looked fondly at her robot dog Ruby who had been given a complete upgrade. Ruby turned to the Copelands and nodded.
"Chris Jericho is a liar," she said.
"And we're going to prove it in court with a little demonstration. Ruby will hypnotize the judge to prove that she was created with mind controlling abilities," Alannah explained.
"The same mind controlling abilities that Rex the Paranoid Android used to control Hunter and break up DX," Edge said. "You know the ARK Angels called me this morning and said that they were going to find Rex's old parts so Tristen could try and put him back together to show what an evil mutt he was,"
"Jericho will never see it coming," Angelina Copeland said.
"I've got a really good feeling about this case Lany. The defense attorney has got a really strong case proving Jericho is not the man he claims to be," Edge said confidently. "There's no way he's going win this case,"
Alannah listened attentively but her lips remained closed and her face was like flint.
"I can tell you have faith in this lawyer Adam but never underestimate evil hearted men," she said sternly.
"I'll get that," Angelica said as the doorbell rang. It was Mr. Arthur Metcalfe and he wasn't happy.
"Those goons outside interrogated me, they wouldn't let me come near the house until I told them who I was," he said annoyed.
"Don't mind them Mr. Metcalfe they're just looking out for me. I'm Alannah Pirelli," Alannah said extending her hand to the disheveled lawyer.
"Of the infamous Pirelli family and don't you look the part," he said to her.
"Don't be fooled I don't usually dress like this," Alannah said.
"Seeing that Nico Pirelli just passed away I thought you'd be wearing something a little more bright but I can see you've chosen to go for the respectful look," Mr. Metcalfe said.
"I know my father was a black-hearted monster but he was still my father," Alannah replied.
"Well with Nico Pirelli gone they'll be a lot less dead bodies showing up," Mr. Metcalfe said taking out his note paper and sitting at the kitchen table. Alannah wasn't so sure about that.
"Eighty-nine cases won and only seven losses," Ruby the Romantabot said and Mr. Metcalfe jumped back in surprise.
"What is this, is this the dog I've heard so much about?" he asked looking at the metallic contraption.
"Yes Mr. Metcalfe meet Ruby the Romantabot," Edge said and Ruby extended her paw to the lawyer.
"What a wonderful creation, is it as intelligent as I've been told it is?" Arthur asked Alannah shaking Ruby's paw.
"Absolutely and her name is Ruby, she's a girl not an object. I have an idea of how we can use her during the trial," Alannah said.
"Lay it on me Miss. Pirelli. This case is like no other I've tried before, I mean I've tried many attempted murder cases, usually on the prosecution side," Arthur said admiring Ruby.
"And you've won them all right?" Edge asked.
"That's right I have but I've never worked with such a unique bunch of people before, my clients told me months ago when I was preparing for trial that they had Gifts from God but I didn't believe them," Mr. Metcalfe said.
"So what happened to change your mind?" Edge asked him.
"Yesterday I had a brief meeting with your friends and I left them alone to make a phone call. When I came back Jeff Hardy was floating on the ceiling like a human balloon," Mr. Metcalfe said still amazed by what he had seen back in L.A. "I mean it was out of this world,"
"My friends are out of this world and the world needs them in it," Edge replied. "We could sit here and talk for hours about the mind-blowing things our friends have done," Angelina said.
"Jeff Hardy can fly and walk on water," Ruby the Romantobot said.
"No wonder he's been so restless lately. I just hope he can sit still in court. One thing I couldn't understand was that if they all have these wonderful Gifts and I'm starting to believe that they do, why don't they just use their powers to go away from all this? When I asked them this question ""The Truth" Trish Stratus" said the oddest thing. She said "Who says we won't?" So I asked her if she was gonna be a no-show at the trial and flee the country but she said no and that after the trial they would all be free. It sounds to me like your friends are plotting something; do you know what that could be?"
Edge and Angelina smiled at each other and then back at Arthur, "Its like Trish said Mr. Metcalfe, after the trial they'll all be free," Edge replied and Arthur go the impression that there was definitely more to Trish's words than she and her closest friends were letting on.
