April 3, 2009
Randy was up working on breakfast when his phone rang that was sitting on the counter near by. He reached over with one hand while still stirring with the other.
"Hello…Hey Sam what's up?…Texas it's Mania week…Um, a friends…"Randy rolled his eyes. "Yes one of those why?…you WHAT!?…um, no I'm not mad just shocked…Well I know you have…It's just, well I am not with him anymore…Yes, yes I know that means besides ours you have had the longer relationship…Honestly an old flame came back into his picture…Hey it's ok I'm fine with it…Here? I don't know I'll need to find out…Well it's not my home Sam I can't just invite you over…I don't know if he would want you knowing he can be a bit, reserved…Go grab a coffee or something & I'll call you back."
Randy hung up the phone with a sigh as he made toast to go with the rest of breakfast. He turned to see Taker leaning on the door frame eyeing him. "Problems?"
"You heard or felt it?"
"Sort of both."
"Will you always feel what I feel?"
"In time it will lessen till it fades into the background. The connection is still fresh." Taker walked over grabbing a coffee. "So who wants to see you?"
"My…My girlfriend. She is here in Huston, I forgot to tell her not to bother this year."
"Ah yes she normally is your date for the Hall of Fame correct?"
"Yes, even when I was with Edge she would still come. For some reason the seat assignee would place me, her & John together."
"Maybe the fact that backstage most people know you are good friends."
"Yeah maybe."
"You can talk to John when he comes down to eat. If you do not mind I will keep myself hidden."
"You shouldn't need to in your own home. Maybe she can stay in one of the guest buildings?"
"I know you would want to be with her…" Taker looks down a moment. "Very well…you may take her to one of the guest buildings."
"Thank you Taker sir."
Taker only offered a faintly amused smirk as he grabbed a plate of food after thanking Randy for cooking. When John came down he was informed of the added guest & that Randy would not be spending as much time at the main house.
"You think maybe that is why you traveled to the arena alone? She may have been with you & you dropped her off somewhere else. You didn't want her seeing us?" John asked.
"It is possible even though I would leave that choice to each of you. I already know Taker's view on it."
"I will think about it. I have known Sam almost as long as you."
"Yeah…just wish she would take the last step with me."
"She is still turning you down."
"You haven't received an invitation have you?"
"Sorry man."
Taker gave a faint cough. "Sorry Taker…um…you know Randy's relationship with Samantha…that there is a physical component."
A low growl. "Yes."
"Um…well he had been asking her to marry him for the last two going on three years."
"Maybe that should tell you something Randy." Taker told him a faint gruffer tone a hint of displeasure.
"She only worries it would change things…the rules we have established. Please Taker sir, her involvement changes nothing with us. Does it to you sir?" Fear clear in Randy's voice.
"I may not like it, but I did know of her. So no…nothing has changed Randy. She just best not snoop around the grounds. We would not want her to come across the wrong thing."
"Of course not sir." Randy almost shuttered thinking what Sam would think if she knew the darker aspects of his relationship.
"Finish eating then return your woman's call. You are to bring her yourself."
"Of course sir."
Taker got up leaving the room. Randy's head lowered. "He is angry with me."
"I think more displeased than angry Randy. You were to be Sam's when you went home…on the road you were to be ours."
"I-I know…I forgot to tell her not to come this year. It is only the three days till after Mania. It would be odd having her attend the Hall of Fame, but then not be in the audience when I am in the main event."
"I know…I will try to calm him down…just opening himself up to you was a big step to him…he did not think he could open himself to a second. Then to have a woman factored into things."
"She has no bearing on him."
"But she does you…her being here will take you away from us. So indirectly she still has a bearing on us since we are now part of you & you are of us."
"I think I understand."
John slowly nods as he stand gathering his & Taker's plates. "I will think over letting Sam know about me…"
"Thanks John." Randy finished is own food before calling Sam back letting her know he would pick her up in front of the hotel. He instructed her to talk to the concierge about handling her rental. She told him she was already in the coffee shop connected to the hotel because she had taken a cab there.
Hanging up Randy headed upstairs to get dressed before heading out to meet Sam. He slipped on a pair of jeans & an RKO shirt before heading out side. He got into on of the cars parked out front grabbing the tucked keys to start it up to head off.
About a half hour later he was parking at the hotel heading inside looking for the coffee shop. Just as he was heading for it he heard someone calling him. He tried not to feel a cold chill as an image of his dream came to mind. He turned trying to offer a smile at Dustin. "Hey Dustin."
The older Rhodes made his way over a faint smile of his face. "Can I talk to you a moment I haven't seen you since Monday…I wanted to start by apologizing."
"Kind of you Dust, I understand emotions where high."
"Yeah guess you could put it that way. That's not all though you have a moment?"
"Well honestly Dustin I'm meeting someone in the coffee Shop & I am already a little late."
"I can wait if you want to tell them. It will only be a few minutes I'll try not to keep you tied too long."
"Fine give me five minutes, what room?"
"736, I'll leave the door open for ya."
"No problem…see you then." Randy turned continuing to the shop to catch Sam.
She was seated at a table by herself sipping coffee & eating a cheese Danish. He walker over behind her leaning closer to her ear. "Hello gorgeous."
"Sorry sir I am spoken for."
"That so? Not surprising I am sure you are a real fine catch."
"He rarely complains."
"Hmmm" Randy rests his hands on her shoulders. "Can't blame a guy for trying can you?" He begins to rub them.
"No but I am sure he would object when he comes over seeing you manhandling me."
"Oh well if he would object to that then I guess he would really object to this." He leans down kissing the side of her neck till he can turn her head kissing her lips.
"Ran man get a room!" Yells over Kofi. Randy breaks the kiss the smirk on his face looking at Sam then Kofi. "Go take a flying leap Kingston." He then looked back at Sam with a sigh. "I need to take a quick meeting." He reaches in his wallet pulling out a ten. "Go grab another round & I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Darn it Randy."
"Sorry hun I was caught as I was coming in. I promise it will be fast." He ran his hand softly along her cheek before heading out of the shop & for the elevators. Stepping on he hit the button for the seventh floor. Reaching his destination he headed down the hall unsure why he was getting a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. Instead of hesitating he moved faster nearly running down the halls till he spotted the room. The panic bar flipped propping the door open. Dustin said he would leave it open, so he pushed it open.
"Just slice the pig before his company shows." A muffled voice called out. The man's back was to the door. The small foyer stopped Randy from seeing past him.
"TO LATE ASSHOLES!"
"Ah fuck." The one man turned the hood blocked his face as did a bandana covering his mouth. He rushed Randy calling back. "Hurry up you guys!" He tried to grab a hold of Randy & Randy instantly began to fight back. He threw what ever in his arsenal came to mind. He had more than just street fighting on his side. He could hear a muffled scream when he got the guy knocked down he jumped over the guy more into the room to see one guy was holding Dustin's arms trapped behind his back while a second was brandishing the blade carving his chest.
"BACK AWAY FROM HIM!"
"I suggest you stop where you are Orton." A voice to the side called Randy looked seeing the fourth man holding a blade near the throat of a man Randy didn't know. Randy lowered his hands.
"Please let them go." Randy calmly tried to plea with the attackers.
"You in no condition to ask anything…"
"You scared them…terrorized them…please just let them go…What you plan on killing them?"
"Two less sick fags polluting the world." The one to the side claimed.
"Come on that isn't needed…what they do to you?"
"Who cares…they are just a black stain on society."
"Really feel that way." Randy sighs hanging his head looking almost defeated.
"Now run on like a good boy." Randy's head tilted just slightly to the side towards Dustin being the look of fear in his eyes. Fear of dyeing, maybe fear of Randy abandoning him without even trying. Randy gave the faintest of smirks a glint to his eyes. Before he charged the guy holding the knife of Dustin's friend.
They both fell to the floor Randy raining punches on the one guy. "GO NOW!" Randy yelled at the guy his hands, were tied behind his back but not anchored to the chair. He bolted for the door into the hall trying to get anyones attention he could. The one attacker got a got slice across Randy's shoulder. The adrenaline flooding his body he hardly felt it. The guy flipped Randy & quickly got up.
"Leave them…come on before calvary arrives." The two let go of Dustin & headed for the door grabbing the guy Randy had knocked out. Randy tried to go after the fourth one as he exited but they moved faster than he could. He made his way to the bed Dustin was slow-moving pulling the sheet from the bed to try to hold pressure on the cuts. He had a bandana tied around his mouth & Randy carefully went to untie it.
"Relax I'll call for a doctor."
"Ran…ge-get pressure of your arm…" Dustin advised him having no clue how Randy could not of felt it. Randy turned his head looking "Damn it." He hisses moving to the bathroom grabbing a towel folding it placing it under his arm the pressure under the armpit helped slow the flow from the cut he then took a second pressing it under the sleeve of the shirt hoping it would help hold it in place.
"ANYONE IN THERE!" Randy hear Dreamer's voice.
"YEAH TOMMY NEED HELP!"
Dreamer had pushed the hotel door open Dustin's friend with him. The man rushed to Dustin's side. "It's ok babe…I don't think any of them are deep." Dustin tried to comfort the guy. He turned his head to look at Dreamer. "Please call our doctor, I know Randy & I will need a hospital…not sure about an ambulance."
"K man just hold on. Where is Randy?"
"Behind you Tommy." Randy grunted out moving to a chair falling back into it.
"Shit man…" Tommy pulled out his cell phone dialing the number for the field doctor he knew was at that location. "Yeah Emma? It's Tommy…not me we need you in 736...two guys were just attacked…I don't know details yet…Knife wounds…they both already are…see you soon." Tommy hung up. "K doc is on the way, she said just keep pressure on you guys cuts till she gets here."
"Yeah…thanks man." Randy called over. Holding his hand over the towel.
Tommy stepped outside the room waiting for the doctor & making another call. "Helmsley?…It's Dreamer we have a situation…Someone or someones broke into Dustin's room & attacked him & his friend that was with him…I don't know how bad yet I just know he was cut, he claims not deep, but extensive…that's not all Orton got mixed up in it." Tommy waved down the hall seeing the doctor. "He got banged up a bit it looks like, also his left shoulder got sliced, don't know how bad either I just saw the towel pressed on it & the slice in his shirt…will do…bye." Dreamer hung up the phone heading back into the room.
"Just in time Tommy." The Doctor addressed him. "I think both can handle being driven in a car to a hospital I covered Mr. Rhodes injury with a temporary dressing but I would feel better him going to the hospital to get it better assessed & cleaned. Mr. Orton is refusing a ambulance…I stitched it. I told him to be carefully with it…I know he has a match Sunday. Hopefully he can carry it ok. I went over the signs of infection."
"So I'm free to go Doc?" Randy asked remembering Sam was still downstairs.
"Yes Mr. Orton just be careful as I instructed. I would feel better if you went to the hospital still. Of course I will file all this with titan so they know what happened."
"Of course. I am not going to the hospital unless there is a problem." Randy slowly stood up feeling a little queasy but tried to push it aside. "Thanks Tommy."
"No problem." he patted Randy's good shoulder as the younger man moved past him.
"Randy?" Dustin called out to him pausing the younger man. "Thanks for…for not leaving wh-when they gave you the cha-chance. So-sorry you got wrapped in this mess."
"Not your fault man…you still want to talk once you get checked out ask Codes for my number. I got to go check on my girl." Randy started to walk to the door but starts to stumble.
Tommy luckily was still close enough to steady him. "I think you either better sit for a bit or get taken to a hospital yourself."
"I'll sit…" Tommy helps him back down. He pulled his phone from his pocket dialing Sam. "Sam?…yeah babe…no I ran into a small problem…no, no nothing to worry about…"Randy sighed. "A co-worker & I were attacked….shhh calm down I'll be fine…he should be too…They just want me to rest a bit before I leave…yeah babe sound like a good idea…Orange juice…736 just warning babe it a bit of a mess up here…see ya."
Randy hung up the phone. "Oh Mr. Orton, you know you will get a phone call from the Huston police to get a statement of what happened?"
"Of course doc." a few minutes later a timid knock sounded on the door & Tommy went to check it. Opening the door seeing the semi petite brunet standing there.
"Is Randy here?"
"Guess you Sam?" She nodded & he let her in. Her mouth gapped open at the room. He saw Randy in the chair his left shoulder heavily bandaged.
"Ran?"
"I'll be fine Sam." She came over lightly kissing his cheek before handing him the bottle of juice. "This should help more thanks."
"Randy I'm Gonna take Dustin & his buddy Kale to the hospital…you be ok?"
"Yeah I'll make sure Sam & I close the room when we leave."
"OK."
"Rest as long as you need Randy." Dustin told him before he walked out with his friend. The Doctor followed after instructing Sam on how to watch Randy for infection or fever.
Randy only stayed seated for about ten more minutes before he & Sam left heading for the car.
"Sure you can drive like that?"
"It will be fine Sam I was given some pain medication but nothing that will affect my driving." They both got in the care heading back to Taker's Randy was sure he would have at least one if not two displeased masters when he returned.
