Chapter 13

Sorry this chapter took longer than normal. I really am trying to update like twice a week. But this one was hard to get together and needed several rewrites. Thanks to all those reviewing, putting it on faves or alerts.

Hotel Hallway

Orton and Mandy walked toward a room. Mandy was nervous and he could tell. And he enjoyed it. "Here it is," Mandy says as they reach room 414. "Go a head," Randy says. Mandy pulls out her key and opens the door. Randy follows her in. "So look I'm really sorry about last week," Mandy says. "Mandy you gotta learn to take a rib. I mean it's a part of the business," Randy says. "You are right," Mandy says. Her tone makes it clear she is uncomfortable. Randy can't hide his smile at that. "Plus I have been trying to help you. I wanted to help keep you on TV," Randy says. "Yes you were. And I was really appreciative of that. Its just I don't like being touched like that," Mandy says. Randy shakes his head. "Mandy you need to get over it. If anything you should be flattered. And the real issue isn't you overreacting to a little pat on the pat on the ass. It's the meltdown you had in the hotel last week," Orton says.

"I should have handled it better," Mandy says again her tone shows she is upset. "Yes you should have. Look Mandy end of the day you need friends in high places," Randy says. "I would like to be your friend," Mandy says. "That's good. See Mandy you do need to make it up to me," Randy says putting his hand on her shoulder. She moves away. "Mandy lets make something clear. You are off the show because of me. You can get back on the show because of me. You already aren't that liked. I mean you are walking heat machine girl," Orton says starting to get mad. "Well what can I do?" Mandy asks.

He puts his hand on her shoulder and makes her sit on the bed. "You can play along Mandy," Randy says. "Randy I'm a happily married woman," Mandy says. "Oh get off it Mandy. This will just be a little fun," Randy says. "What kind of fun?" Mandy asks. "Look Mandy you aren't a kid. You are very hot woman," Randy says. "So you are saying what?" "Mandy its simple you give me what I want which is you. I will help you out and make sure you always get pushed. And don't worry Riley will never know," Randy says.

Day's Earlier Mandy and Riley's house

"Well my first idea was to try and put him in a hospital. Than when I finally calmed down and came up with this idea. Part of the reason you don't want go to management is because its he said she said and Randy has political stroke," Riley says. "Yeah that part of it," Mandy says. "So we get him to say on tape what he wants," Riley says holding something up. "Is that what I think it is?" Mandy asks. "It is. It's a wire. We record Orton and than we have something to hold on him or take to management," Riley says. "Riley this could really backfire," Mandy says. "Or it could stop this," Riley says.

Present

Randy was startled as he heard the door open. Mandy moved away from him just as Riley entered. Randy jumped up his hands up ready for a fight. "Put those down there isn't going to be a fist fight," Riley says. "Look man the slut came on to me was despereate to save her push," Orton claims. "Please keep talking Randy keep digging that hole," Riley says. "What are you talking about?" Randy asks. Mandy moves over to Riley. "I am wearing a wire Randy we have everything on tape," she tells him. "You can't do that," Randy says.

"And you can't take advantage of people. You can't make clear I have to sleep with you to save my spot on the roster," Mandy says. "What game are you playing?" Orton asks. "Game?" Mandy says getting mad. "Yeah what game are you playing? What do you want?" Randy asks. "We want nothing Orton," Riley says. "Tommrow we taking it to Stephanie and Hunter," Mandy says. "The hell you are," Randy says taking a step towards them. Riley takes hold of Orton's arm kicks out his legs. Orton lands hard face first.

"I have wanted to break every bone in your face since I found out what you did to my wife! So don't give me a reason to live that fantasy. I can't stand people like you. Its only because of her that I am not snapping this wrist like a twig. Its over best thing you can do is leave and get yourself some damn cousleing," Riley says. He lets Orton up and he walks off. Orton turns back. "Look just burry the tape I swear I will leave you alone. Hell I can get back in the title picture," Randy says. "Leave," Mandy says.

Raw the next day Triple H's office.

Both Stephanie and Triple H had speculated on what Mandy could want that caused her to ask for a meeting. A rumor was going around New Japan was about to buy one of the all women's promotions in Japan. Making them think Mandy could want a release. When Riley came in with her that confirmed it mentally for Stephanie. To there shock Mandy told them about Orton groupping her and everything else. At which point Riley pulled out his phone and played the audio recording.

Riley and Mandy sat across from Triple H and Stephanie. Hunter was stone faced as the recording played. Stephanie looked upset. "Just turn it off we get the point," Hunter says. Riley does. "Let me make something clear I am not looking to blackmail anyone. We did this so it wouldn't be my word vs. Randy's," Mandy says. "If you had come to us we would have investagated," Stephanie claims. "You should investagate but this is clear proof," Mandy says. "Yes it is," Hunter says. "I've told you Randy needs to be kept in line," Stephanie says. He puts her hand up to signal not now.

"Was I removed from TV because Randy asked you to do it?" Mandy asks. She knows the answer already but wants conformation. Hunter is tempted to ask if they are recording this but let it passs. "He played a role in it. He wanted to end you and The Riott Squad's role in his angle," Hunter admits. "And here he was a week later offering to help her out if she slept with him," Riley says. Stephane can see this head to disaster decides to take over. "Randy will be suspsendd for ninty days and undergo conseloing he will have have to take a... a class to make sure he knows this is unaccetoblie," She says. "Stephanie I dont' feel safe coming to work. And this is hardly the first time Randy has been a lunatic," Mandy says. Stephanie goes to speak but cant' find words.

"What can we do to make sure you do feel safe?" Hunter asks. "For the time being I want to be on a different show than Randy," Mandy says. "That's it?" Stephanie asks stunned. "Stephanie I love my job. I just dont' want Randy Orton to ruin it," Mandy says. At this point what choice do they have? "We should Randy in here. See what he has to say for himself," Triple H declares. "Good idea. Would you two mind waiting why we get Randy," Stephanie says. "Yes I would mind Stephanie. I don't want to be around him," Mandy says frimly. At that they are lost. "Well we need to talk to Randy. Could you step out for a few moments," Hunter requests. They do and head to the hall.

"They are just going to slap him in the wrist," Mandy finally says. "You could ask for your relase," Riley says. "You know how much I love my job," Mandy says."I know you do. But the company has shown Randy gets away with murder. You might have cosider it as a good idea to talk away for now," Riley says. "What would I even do if I left?" She asks. Before he can answer they see Orton beign lead to the office by an offical. If he noticed them they can't tell.

"Mandy its going to be okay. Hopefully they will do the right thing and punish him. And if they don't we will figure out a way to make it okay for you," Riley assures her. Taking her hands. "Just put me on Smackdown and I will be happy," Mandy. "I think they will. The tape is bad. They know something has to change. The real question is what will they do with him," Riley says. "I love my job but I don't know how I will feel if they don't try punish Orton. What if he tries somehting again?" Mandy asks. "Than I run him over with a car," Riley says. "I'm tempted to let you do it," Mandy says.

"Hey what is going on with Orton? Wait Riley what are you doing here man?" Adam Cole asks coming up to them. "Its a long story and another long story," Mandy says. "Wait you guys know what is really going on with Orton? Guy has been on edge all day. Did he fail a drug test?" Cole says. "Its a long story Adam," Riley says. "Oh my god you did try to kidnap. When Kenny told me I thought it was a rib," Adam says. "No Cole I didn't try to kidnap him," Riley says. "How many other people know about Riley's dumb idea?" Mandy asks. "Just the rest of the club? Riley why did you want to kidnap him?" Adam asks. "Will you stop saying that so loud," Mandy says. "Well just me, Balor, AJ, Gallows, and Anderson and that it. I think," Cole says. Mandy gives Riley a look. "Don't look at me I didn't know Kenny became the town gossip," Riley says.

Before anything else can be said a commoiton can be heard down the hall. A few mintues later Orton is led down the hall by security. He turns as he passes them and locks eyes with Riley and Mandy. Mandy feels Riley take her hand.

A few days later

Offically Randy has been sent home to deal with personal issues. Word backstage was something had gone down with him and Mandy. A few of her closer friends had asked her what happened. Only Sonya knew the full story and it was going to stay that way. She had told anyone asked she wanted to keep it private. Everyone respected that. After Orton has been removed, Stephanie had told Mandy she would be starting on Smackdown the next week. With some time to themselves Rildy had convinced Mandy to take a few days off. They headed to Souther California the Riley had lived for a number of years after his career took off.

"Remember this place?" Riley asked as they walked onto the paito of The Cove. "Of course I do," Mandy says. They had first met a Smackdown taping but the next day by pure luck or fate had wound up having a lunch together at this resturant. They are seated at the same table. "You doing better?" Riley asks. Even with Orton taken care of she was still tense the last few days. "I'm feel better now. God I love this view," She says looking at beach and ocean. "Why this was always one of my faveriot go to spots," Riley says. "You ever wonder what would have happended if we hadn't run into each other of you hadn't gotten hurt and missed the G1?" Mandy asks. "Now why would I ever want to think about something so awful," Riley says.

"See I like to think of the different ways we could have met. Because baby it was fate we would wind up together," Mandy says. "So what like aleternite time lines in comic?" Connor asks. "Something like that," Mandy says. "So how do you think we would have met otherwise?" Riley says. "Well you had already made those stupid comments on Talk is Jerihco," She jokes. "So you would have let the angery build and build knowing you," He says smiling and playing along. "Right so we would have run into other at the comic book convention. And I would have given you a piece of my mind," Mandy says.

"Oh no," Riley says. "But than I would noticed how handsome you are in person," Mandy says. He a about to fire back in mock offended tone about the in person crack when both there phones go off. For Mandy it's a text for Riley it's a call. They both nod saying it's okay to take it. Riley sees it' s Gedo. The booker of New Japan doesn't even given Riley a chance to talk. Appairtenly things for Wrestle Kingdom were flux. Okada and Goto were stilling wrestling as was Kenny's match Naito but an injury to Minoru Suzuki left the card been reworked. Gedo explained the way the various dominos now feel. "I need you to wrestle Kota Ibushii," Gedo says. Riley was stunned. He had resigne dhimself that he wasn't getting a match at the Dome this year. Now a personal drea match was in his lap.

"What about the story with Okada?" Riley asks. That was another dream and long term meant more money. "Well you no referee now. But we can still do tag match have you two get into heated exchanges feud from there," Gedo says. "Sounds good. But what is the reason for me wrestling Kota? I mean he and Kenny are so close and well Kenny my character has always been super loyal to Kenny?" Riley asks. "Reason in kayfab reason same as real life... Ibushi son asked for match," Gedo says. "He did?" Riley asks. "Yeah he did. Says it would be great match. I'm sure you guys find funny reasno for You Tube," Gedo says referenceing Being the Elite. "Well I'd be an idoit to turn it down. I would love to wrestle Ibushii escpially at Wrestle Kingdom," Riley says. "Annouce it soon," Gedo says.

Riley get off the phone and look at Mandy who is reading something and seems surpised. He forget about Ibushii for now worrried this is tied to Orton. "You aren't goin to believe this," Mandy says handing him the phone. Its an email from the WWE

"They can't really go head to head with Wreslte Kingdom and think it's a good idea?" Riley asks. "They must," Mandy says. "So back to New Japan vs. WWE," Riley says. "Hey wouldn't it be funny if I was in the ring the same time you were refereeing," Mandy says. "I won't be refereeing... Things changed I have a match," Riley says smiling. "Baby that's great," Mandy says.

Orton's Home

Randy was still pissed off. As he stalked the halls of his home he had one thought over and over again. "They are going to pay." His little vaction would be over soon enough. He soon got the e-mail from the WWE. "Might be the perfect place," Orton thought to himself.
