Chapter 12
Such beauty and she chooses to be my friend, despite my appearance and what others have told her about me, Unbelievable. Kane thought, smiling behind his mask.
As J.J. ran she slipped into a zone. Where she didn't think of anything she just was.
Look at her go. Kane thought, as he worked. She's so graceful.
Closing his eyes, he tried to concentrate on his workout. Moving from one machine to another, he worked himself hard.
I'm getting better every day. It won't be long now. He thought when he realized how little pain he was in. There is still some pain but not nearly as much.
Setting the weights for the bench press he looked over at J.J. When she made no move to stop, he turned and waved while walking toward her. When she still didn't seem to notice, he stepped up beside her.
Seven miles, He thought, looking down at the display. Amazing, she looks like she could keep going even further.
Reaching out, he turned down the volume on her Discman. At first she didn't seem to notice, as she kept running. Then as if snapping out of a trance, J.J. shook her head smiling, finally turning to look at him at last.
"Oh sorry Kane, I didn't realize you were ready." She said, turning off the treadmill.
She never even looked at how far she'd run. Kane thought surprised.
As they walked over to the bench, she raised her glasses and wiped her face. Then replacing her glasses she took her position.
Watching him go through rep after rep, she tried to see any sigh on distress.
Can't make the same mistake I did last time. He was really sore because I let him go too far. She thought, as she watched.
As he finished his fourth set she could see him beginning to struggle.
Enough she thought, reaching for the bar.
No not yet! He thought, shaking his head no.
"Ok Kane you tell me when, but please don't go too far. I can't stand to watch you hurting." She said quietly.
She's worried about me? He thought with wonder.
Completing half his fifth set, he looked up at her.
Come on Kane She thought. I can see you're hurting enough already.
Fighting through the rest of his fifth set he finally nodded for her to help.
She quickly grabbed the bar and racked it. Then J.J. watched Kane closely, as he sat up.
He doesn't seem to be hurting to bad. She thought. Maybe taking yesterday off was just the break he needed.
Not bad. He thought as he sat up. I'm almost there.
Getting to his feet, he waited until J.J. had picked up her Discman and was ready to go.
"Shall we see how your pictures turned out?" She asked, as they got upstairs.
I hope they're not too bad. He thought, nodding as he stopped at her door.
Going into the darkroom, she emptied the chemical trays and put the undeveloped rolls away before turning on the lights.
She began taking his pictures down and stacking them on the counter. Then picking them up she handed them to Kane.
"Big guy," she said. "I really need a shower, How about I come over after for your backrub."
Another backrub… Great. Kane thought, happily nodding.
Taking the pictures with him, Kane went back to his room.
Showering quickly, he sat waiting for her. Picking up the pictures he began looking through them.
Remember what she said be objective. Pretend someone else took them. He told himself.
Stepping out of the shower, she dressed and headed next door.
I hope he's not still in the shower that would be very embarrassing. J.J. thought, as she walked to his door.
Hearing her knock, Kane slipped on his mask and opened the door.
"Have you looked at the pictures yet big guy? I can't wait to see them." She said, as she stepped into the room.
Closing the door, Kane followed her into the room.
"Can I look at them?" J.J. asked, sitting down on the couch.
Kane nodded, as he took a seat beside her.
She's going to laugh he thought. They're not good like hers.
Going through the pictures, she was impressed.
"These are really good." She said. "You have a really great eye."
Going through the pictures again, she pointed out what she liked about them.
She really does like them maybe they are good. He thought surprised.
"I think my job may be in jeopardy here." She said smiling. "So you ready for your massage?"
Kane nodded, but didn't move.
"Well," She said pushing him playfully. "Get off your butt big guy."
Getting up she went and got the bed ready. Turning around she almost walked into him.
"Get comfortable Kane, I'm just going to get a bottle of water." She said, stepping around him. "Oh and lose the shirt Hun." She called over her shoulder.
Grabbing a bottle of water she turned around.
Man he takes my breath away. She thought, looking at him lying there.
"Kane roll over please. I'd like to work on your ribs first this time." She said, as she approached the bed.
Control yourself! He told himself as he rolled over.
Just remember to behave yourself. He doesn't need you coming on to him. This is only a massage. She said, to herself as she watched him move onto his back.
Climbing onto the bed she straddled his hips. She was careful not to put any weight on him. Pouring some oil onto her hands she warmed it. Then reaching up toward his neck she saw him tense up.
"Kane, don't worry I would never remove your mask." She said.
Of course she wouldn't. She doesn't want to see me any more than anyone else. He thought, tensing up even more.
"Taking it off is your decision. I'm ready to see you, when and if you decide to show me." She said, reaching forward again.
She actually wants to see? He thought confused.
As she began the massage, she felt him begin to relax.
I hope I didn't just scare him. She thought.
Finishing his neck, she moved to his shoulders. Little by little she began to work her way down, adding more oil as she moved.
Go easy on the ribs. She reminded herself, as she worked.
MMM so good. He thought. Just keep yourself under control. She'll know immediately if you don't.
When she was through, she climbed off the bed.
"Kane what time is your flight tomorrow?" She asked.
Why is she asking that? He wondered.
Sitting up he used his hands to say ten. Then he cocked his head and looked at her.
"I just thought you'd want to set your alarm before I start, in case you fall asleep again." She said with a shrug.
Nodding, Kane set his alarm.
As he was putting the clock back down she said, "Ok on your belly."
Straddling his hips again she began working his back. She could feel him relaxing almost immediately.
He's already falling asleep. She thought surprised.
She continued the message even as he slept, and probably longer than was strictly necessary, she simply loved the feel of him. When she was through she picked up the bottle of oil and stood there a moment just watching him sleep.
Finally, she pulled up the covers and slipped quietly out of the room.
I can't believe he actually trusts me enough to fall asleep with me there. It's amazing after all he's been through. She thought, as she got ready for bed.
J.J.
J.J. tossed and turned unable to fall asleep. She couldn't get him off her mind. How good he felt beneath her. How wonderful it was to run her hands over his well-muscled body.
Stop it! She told herself. He'll never see you that way, so get over it and go to sleep.
When her alarm went off, she crawled groggily out of bed.
Guess I'll try to sleep on the plane. Maybe I'll actually get some this time. She thought, as she got into the shower.
Quickly packing her things she prepared to go. Before going downstairs she slipped a note under Kane's door. Then heading down, she grabbed a quick bite before calling a cab. Once on board the plane, she was asleep almost as soon as it took off.
Kane
Waking to the blaring alarm, Kane opened his eyes. After showering he began packing his things. As he did he saw a piece of paper on the floor by the door?
Picking it up he read.
Had an 8:30 flight, I'll see you in Dallas.
J.J.
Oh, he thought disappointed. Guess I won't get to see her till the arena.
Continuing to pack more slowly now. Seeing the pictures on the table he picked them up.
She's so kind, so different than everyone else. Why does she want to be my friend? I'm certainly not good enough for her even as a friend. When she realizes that, she'll leave me just like everyone else. He thought, as he looked through the pictures. I'll just have to be ready for when that happens.
Putting the pictures away he was ready to go. Going downstairs, he had breakfast before heading to the airport.
Kane sat in his seat, staring at the passing clouds.
I have to find a way to thank her for all she's done. He thought. But what can I possibly give her or do for her?
Landing in Dallas, he still had not come up with anything better than dinner at a good restaurant.
That's just not good enough. He thought. She's been so good to me.
Getting to the hotel, he hoped he'd see her before she went to the arena.
Should I try to get her room number? He wondered, as he entered.
Looking around, he saw several wrestlers near the desk.
Can't ask they'll hear. Don't want them to give her a hard time. He thought, upset that he wouldn't see her.
Walking up to the desk he ignored the others. He handed the clerk his confirmation letter.
"Kane you'll be in 710." The clerk said, handing him the key.
"Excuse me Kane." The clerk called out after him.
Turning back around, he walked back to the desk.
"You have a message." He said, handing Kane a note.
What does Vince want now? He wondered, taking the note.
Opening it he couldn't help but smile as soon as he saw the writing.
717 Hun see you later.
J.J.
Great now I know where she is. He thought happily.
Going upstairs, Kane went to drop off his bags. Then unable to wait, he went back out. Checking the hallway he saw that it was clear.
I hope no one comes up. He thought, walking to her room.
Knocking on J.J.'s door, he waited impatiently for her to answer. When she didn't he brought his hand up and knocked harder.
Come on! He thought, before someone comes.
Kane/J.J.
Turning, Kane began walking away, when he heard the door open.
"Kane!" J.J. said. "I didn't expect to see you so early. I was in the darkroom. Come in." She said, taking his hand and bringing him into the room.
Pulling him into a hug she said, "How was your flight."
Looking down at her, Kane nodded.
"I take it that means good?" She laughed, stepping out of the hug.
Nodding again, J.J. could see the amusement in Kane's eyes.
"Well grab yourself a drink and come in if you want. I have to get in there before I ruin the shots." She said, going back toward the bathroom.
I really wasn't expecting to see him for a couple more hours. She thought, pleased to have been wrong.
Hearing the door open, she turned and saw Kane slip in.
"The first set is right there." She said, pointing to the stack of photos.
Picking them up he began looking at them.
They're really hard to see in this light. He thought, leafing through the pictures.
Putting the pictures down he moved to stand behind J.J. unconsciously settling his hands on her shoulders and gently kneading them.
Oh, now I am going to ruin these shots for sure. She thought, as he began to rub her shoulders.
I can't think with him this close. She thought, feeling her body begin to tingle.
Hanging up the last of the second set, she turned and picked up the finished pictures.
"Let's go take a look at these." She said, moving toward the door.
Sitting down on the couch, she started looking through them, then passing them to Kane one at a time.
Not bad. She thought. You can really see how much fun he was having.
Looking at the pictures one by one, Kane relived each moment.
I still can't believe she did that. Brought me there and showed me all those things. He thought, as he looked at the last photo.
Then suddenly feeling overwhelmed he reached out and pulled J.J. into a fierce hug. As he wrapped his arms around her, he accidentally knocked her glasses off.
Oh shit! She thought, feeling her glasses being dislodged.
Feeling her stiffen, he realized what he'd done.
OH NO! He thought. Look away she doesn't like anyone to see her eyes.
Turning his face away, he reached down and picked up her glasses. Kane handed them to her careful not to look at her.
Funny, I really don't care? She thought confused. I'm not afraid to let him see. He would never be like Carl the bastard, NOT EVER.
Taking the glasses from him, she put them on the table.
"It's ok big guy. I don't think I need them anymore, at least not with you." She said quietly.
What? He thought shocked. She's not going to wear them?
Feeling her hand on his jaw, he allowed J.J. to turn his head until they were face to face. As their eyes met he was mesmerized.
Amazing was all he could think.
Looking into his eyes she was lost.
His face is so expressive. I've managed to surprise him again as well as myself. She thought.
Pulling her back into the hug, Kane held her tightly.
"Hun I can't breathe." She said hoarsely.
Releasing his grip slightly he continued to hold her.
Finally, loosening his grip a bit more he reached into his pocket and pulled out the box.
"Why?" He asked, slowly obviously emotional.
"I don't know. You make me feel safe. I know you won't hurt me." She whispered.
Bringing his hand up, he cupped her cheek in the palm of his hand.
What can I possibly say to that? He thought, feeling his throat close with unexpected emotion.
Sitting there like that they both lost track of time. A soft beeping noise finally broke their trance.
"Um Kane, We've got to go or we'll be late." She said.
Nodding, Kane finally released her completely.
J.J. got up and walked Kane to the door.
"I'll see you at the meeting." She said, as he walked out.
See me there? Yeah, that's probably better. Then she's not really seen with me. Don't want them messing with her. He thought.
Don't want him to feel obligated. He obviously doesn't want anyone to see us together. She thought, still saddened by the thought.
J.J.
Closing the door, she began to gather together what she'd need for the event. Then putting the last of the layout shots in her camera bag she was ready. Sliding on her glasses she headed to the arena.
Once J.J. arrived there, she went looking for Vince's office. When she found it she dropped off the two envelopes of layout shots before leaving to get her event packet.
Going down to ringside, she stashed her spare camera behind the announce table.
Then J.J. began wandering the halls, camera in hand.
I wonder why I haven't seen Kane around. She thought. Well not seeing him is probably a good thing. I might not be able to stay away and that would blow his secret. I really have to get control of this. He doesn't see me that way. I have to be sure not to let my feelings for him get out of control and show that would only drive him away sooner.
With time for the meeting approaching, she headed to the selected room.
Stepping inside, she automatically moved to the right of the door leaving plenty of room for Kane.
I don't want to stand to close people might notice and he doesn't want that. She thought feeling disappointed.
She stood staring at the opposite wall lost in thought.
Kane
Going back to his room, Kane was still trying to convince himself that keeping his distance is best for her.
Really if people think that they can use her, she could get hurt. There is no telling what DX or Mark would do to her if they thought it would help them control me. He told himself.
Gathering the things he'd need, he left for the arena. Once there he found a quiet place to wait for the meeting.
I'll just stay here. I don't know if I could keep away if I saw her in the hall. He thought.
Kane/J.J.
Entering the meeting, Kane saw he was one of the last to arrive. Stepping to the right of the door he saw J.J. standing there.
Don't even look at her someone might get suspicious. He told himself.
Kane kept his eyes fixed on the opposite wall.
Seeing Kane enter, J.J. watched him out of the corner of her eye.
He's being really stiff and obviously doesn't want anyone to see him looking at me. She thought disappointed.
Vince gave his usual pre-show speech with only minor variations.
You'd think he'd have a more original speech once in a while. It's almost always the same old thing. How do these guys not fall asleep? She wondered.
Finishing his speech Vince looked at J.J.
"We're all through." Vince said. "J.J. can you hang back a minute I need to talk to you."
What's up? J.J. wondered, nodding as she watched everyone file out.
I wonder what he wants. Kane thought, as he to left the room.
J.J.
"Take a seat J.J." Vince said.
Sitting down, J.J. waited for Vince to say something.
He sounds so serious. Is this about the pictures? Are they that bad? She wondered, beginning to worry.
"First I wanted to tell you how great I think your shots are." He began
"And?" J.J. said, wondering where Vince was going with this.
"Well," he said. "I know I can't tell you what to do in your off time but…"Vince paused as if searching for the right words.
"I'm concerned for you. I've heard that you've been spending time with Kane." Vince said, holding up his hand to forestall her from interrupting.
Oh what the hell him too! How does Kane put up with this? She thought, barely able to sit still.
"Kane is very unpredictable, especially since his breakup with Tori." Vince continued.
"Enough Vince," She said. "I've been warned off by everyone and its ridicules. I've seen no reason for any of it and I won't hear another word against him. Do you understand?"
J.J. stood up and turned to leave.
"J.J. wait." Vince said standing up. "I wanted to talk to you about something else as well."
"What?" She growled turning around.
"Please calm down. I didn't mean to upset you." Vince said, sitting back down.
Standing with her arms crossed, she waited for Vince to continue.
"I want to start getting still shots along with the camera shots of the interviews, and match setups. So I'd like you to start attending the talent meetings. That way you can plan your shots." Vince said watching her.
"Fine." She said. "Anything else?"
"No, I'll see you in the meeting." He said, getting up.
Standing there she watched him, leave still too angry to move.
The nerve of him, even he thinks he can control who I choose to be with. I couldn't stand it if I had to stay away from him. I think I'm falling hard for the big lug. Too bad he doesn't feel the same way. She thought sadly.
Calming down at last she left.
Walking out of the room, she saw Kane standing in the hallway.
Kane
Stepping outside the room, Kane stood against the wall.
I shouldn't wait he told himself, as he stood there.
Kane ignored the odd looks he got from people as they passed.
I really should leave but I need to see her. Maybe we can eat together before the show. He thought hopefully.
Kane stood there arguing with himself over whether to stay or go.
What's taking so long? He wondered, seeing the door open Kane stood up straight.
Kane/J.J.
"Are you waiting for me big guy?" She asked, as she walked up to him.
Nodding Kane put his hand on his stomach.
"You want to get something to eat?" She asked, obviously confused.
I thought he didn't want to be seen with me? What's he doing? I think we really need to talk. She thought to herself.
Doesn't she want to eat with me? He thought.
"Sounds good," She said, turning toward the dining room.
Entering the room, they couldn't ignore the sudden silence.
Oh get over it. She thought.
This was a mistake. He thought. You're making things tougher on her.
Getting their food they found a table and took a seat.
Sitting quietly J.J. watched him.
Is he sending mixed signals on purpose or is he as confused as I am? She wondered.
What did Vince want? Is Vince why she's so quiet or did I do something? His mind was a riot of questions and confusion.
Well this is awkward. She thought. I should say something, but what?
J.J. began noticing that the room was emptying out. Looking at her watch she realized it was time for the meeting.
"Kane we've got to go. It's time for the talent meeting." She said.
We've got to go? Is she supposed to go or is she sneaking in again? Kane wondered, as he looked at her.
His head was cocked unconsciously.
"Oh I didn't tell you? Vince wants the photographers at the talent meetings from now on." She said, getting up. "I'll explain it all later."
Kane rose and together they walked to the meeting. Going into the room they both took positions to the right of the door.
Oh give it a rest. She thought, seeing all the dirty looks from mostly everyone including Vince.
Vince began the meeting.
"I've asked J.J. and the other photographers to sit in on the talent meetings. I want them to know what's coming up so they can get some shots as it goes down." Vince said pointing to J.J.
"For those of you who don't know, she's been with us about three weeks. Eventually she'll be doing layout shots of all of you as well as the event shots she already does and much more." Vince said.
He continued the meeting, going through the events match order again. Then he talked about spots he wanted done to setup upcoming events. Vince finished this meeting as he had the last one she'd seen my asking for match requests.
There were a few requests based on backstage grudges. Even more requests based on more benign reasons.
As the meeting came to a close, both J.J. and Kane slipped out the door.
"So he's got you doing camera work again today?" J.J. said. "That's great."
They'll only make me look bad again. Kane thought. But she wouldn't understand. He nodded absently to answer her.
Kane doesn't seem very excited about this. I know he misses the ring and this is one step closer. Why isn't he happier about it? She thought, surprised by his reaction.
"See you in a while Kane." She said, as she saw him stop at the locker room.
Nodding again Kane entered.
J.J.
How do they setup spots? I didn't see any scripts. Do they just show up and wing it? Geez I hope they don't make him look bad again. It really upset him last time they did that. She thought.
Walking around backstage she saw several of the wrestlers discussing their upcoming matches.
At least some of this is planned. She thought. I'd hate to think they ALL hate each other and act like DX and the Ministry. I don't understand why Vince encourages their feuds and attitudes, or why he actually allows them to use the matches to feed the feuds; it's crazy.
Going to where the first of the interviews was to be shot, she waited camera ready to see what would happen.
She stood watching the Undertaker make demands for a match against Hunter and for the brood to face the Outlaws and X-Pac. Snapping several shots she focused in closely on the Undertaker's face and the faces of The Brood.
He looks so serious like he'd really love to badly injure Hunter. She thought surprised at the fierce look in his eyes. The Brood on the other hand they look almost detached; as if they could care less what is going on around them or who they are to face.
As The Ministry was walking away, she saw DX coming up the hall.
Oh this will be interesting. She thought, bringing her camera back up.
J.J. began taking pictures as the two groups came together. They stood face to face none of them giving an inch to allow the other past.
Unless someone moves they're going to stand there all night. She thought, smiling behind the camera as she shot.
Finally she heard an almost evil laugh and Undertaker moved aside.
"Later." She heard but she didn't know who said it.
She stood, taking some shots of DX, not only accepting the challenge, but also laughing at The Ministry for issuing it.
Well she thought. That attitude is going to get DX in even more trouble.
After photographing a couple more interviews, she saw Kane standing off to the side.
Kane
Coming out of the locker room, Kane went looking for somewhere quiet. Sitting in a stairwell he let his mind wander.
I can't keep making things hard for her, but I can't stand to be away from her either. It would be best if I told her to stay away. I'll kill me. But I have to protect her from trouble with the others. Kane thought, already beginning to mourn the loss.
Getting up, Kane went to do his spot. Arriving at the location, Kane saw that he was early. Standing back he watched Adrian Adonis challenge Bossman to a match. He could see J.J.'s shoulders shake with laughter, When Adrian referred to Bossman as a fashion nightmare. Even thought he was trying to watch the interview. Kane's eyes were constantly drawn to J.J. as she took the shots Vince wanted.
"Kane." He heard.
Turning his head, he saw Vince standing there.
"Pete says you're clear and Bossman has already requested to be your first match back. He's up next, go over and screw up his interview that should get things rolling." Vince said with a smile.
Nodding, Kane waited patiently for Bossman to accept Adrian's challenge. Then he began moving toward the interview area.
Vince, you have no idea how badly I want him too. He screwed me at that autograph session! That bastard made me look really bad. I swore he'd bleed for it and he will. Kane thought, smiling behind his mask.
Kane/J.J.
Grabbing Bossman by the back of his flak vest, Kane threw him into a wall.
Tugging on his glove, Kane walked toward the prone Bossman.
What's he doing? He looks ready to kill Bossman? Is this real? J.J. wondered, as she continued shooting.
Time for some pain Bossman, Kane thought, as the pulled him to his feet.
It's you who will scream. Kane thought, remembering Bossman's words at the session.
Kane stood, pounding him into the wall several times, before tossing him easily into the opposite wall.
Enough Kane J.J. thought. That has to be enough to setup a match.
Bossman was trying to get up, but Kane punched him knocking him back down. Then Kane began stomping on him. Several refs came out and tried to drag Kane away.
Not yet Kane thought, pushing the refs away. He needs to bleed first.
Kane continued to pound and kick the unmoving Bossman.
Stop Kane please he's done. J.J. thought beginning to realize Kane wasn't acting. He's really out of control!
Pushing and pulling, the refs were finally able to get Kane away from a now bloody Bossman.
A couple of the refs were helping Bossman to the training room.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Vince yelled, walking up to Kane.
Didn't Vince set this up? J.J. wondered.
Kane stopped pacing and faced Vince.
"You're not even cleared to wrestle. What do you think you are doing? Now he's going to demand a match!" Vince said, getting right in Kane's face.
Ok, this is setup. He just told me I'm clear. Kane thought.
"Clear me!" Kane said, using his box.
Vince stepped back, obviously shocked that Kane had spoken.
Damn is he ready for the ring? J.J. wondered, as she watched Kane walk away from Vince. It really looks like Vince didn't expect him to speak.
Going to the training room, she took a few shots of Bossman getting treatment. Then turned and began walking toward where she'd seen Kane go.
Walking down the hall, Kane tried to calm himself down.
I wish J.J. hadn't seen me like that. She had to see it eventually. But now she'll see that I have a temper like that Rick guy and she'll stay away for sure; she'll be afraid. Maybe that's for the best. He thought with a sigh.
Turning into a back hallway, he continued to pace. I can't let her see me still angry. I have to calm down.
Walking down the hall, she checked several rooms along the way but didn't find him.
Where the hell did he go? She wondered. He's way too big to vanish.
Turning a corner she saw him. He was sitting down against a wall with his head in his hands.
"Kane?" She called out. "Are you alright?"
She followed me? He thought with wonder. Why would she do that? Isn't she afraid?
He looks surprised to see me. She thought, as she saw Kane look up.
Nodding, Kane just stared at J.J.
Walking over, J.J. sat down beside Kane and draped her arm across his shoulders.
"You looked like you were really angry. Do you have a real grudge against Bossman?" She asked.
Please say there's a good reason for how badly you attacked him. Tell me you didn't go that crazy for the show. She thought desperately.
Nodding, Kane looked at her more closely.
"Made me look crazy at signing." Kane said slowly.
"Is that why Vince has all that extra security on you?" J.J. asked
Nodding again, Kane reached up and brushed his fingertips along her cheek.
He's doing it again, confusing the hell out of me. She thought.
"We need to talk soon big guy." She said.
Cocking his head, Kane waited for her to continue.
"But not now," She said. "Right now I have to go and take some pictures."
Laughing she got up. "See you later." She added, as she turned to go.
Need to talk? She's going to say she doesn't want to be around me anymore. He thought feeling his chest ache and his stomach clench. It's what you wanted isn't it? You should be happy.
Getting up he began walking toward the backstage area.
I still have another spot to do with Pete. He thought as he walked.
J.J.
Walking away from Kane, she felt him watching her.
I need to find out what he's doing. One minute he wants me there the next he doesn't. I can't keep guessing what he wants from me. I just have to be careful what I say. I don't want to scare him or make him think I'm up to something. J.J. thought, as she walked.
Arriving at ringside, she tried to clear her mind and focus on her job.
It used to be so easy to think only of the shots. Now I can't, I keep thinking of Kane, J.J. thought, disappointed in herself.
It was nearly getting run over for the second time in two matches, J.J. finally managed to get focused.
As they played Kane's spot on the screen, J.J. watched and listened to the fans. They went nuts when he attacked Bossman and even more crazy when he spoke.
They really do love him. She thought, pleased for him.
Gathering her gear after the last match, J.J. looked at the fans. Then heading backstage J.J.'s mind again went to Kane.
How am I going to do this? She wondered. Oh hell I'll deal with it later.
