Chapter Fourteen – Alibi Kinda Guy
Trish's house, 9am:
Trish opened the door to get the newspaper and saw the highly agitated face of Tristen Nash looking back at her. She looked for a big SUV but all she saw was a bicycle.
"Tristen what are you doing here?" she said.
"Congratulations on your engagement," Tristen said holding out his hand for Trish to shake and she did hesitantly.
"You came all the way here to tell me that?" Trish asked bemused.
"No I came all the way here to kick Cameron's butt!" Tristen said and he marched past Trish through the house looking for the Amazing one. God obviously didn't think it was important enough to tell her about so Trish shrugged and went back to her bedroom while Tristen marched into every guest bedroom until he found Cameron who was sleeping next to his sister. He pulled Cameron out of the bed by his ankle and the Amazing one hit the floor with a loud thud.
"Hey!" Cheyenne called out annoyed and she backed Tristen all the way out of the room.
"Whoa Chey easy I ain't got no beef with you," Tristen said putting his hands up innocently but he was still staring holes into Cameron who was trying to talk LC out of getting her Ax of Judgment out.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" Cheyenne said annoyed.
"Yeah I've heard of knocking, knocking your brother's teeth out!" Tristen said angrily and Cheyenne pushed him to the floor.
"Watch your language!" she said firmly.
"Well I'm sorry Chey I'm a little pissed off with your brother, now if you would just get out of the way so I can handle my business," Tristen said trying to get passed Chey.
"No!" Cheyenne replied stopping him from getting passed then Cameron stood in front of her facing Tristen.
"Its okay Chey stand down," Cameron told Cheyenne and GPS stood back refusing to take her eyes off of Tristen, "I know what this is about," Cameron said.
"Oh you do? Good then I'll make this short," Tristen said and he went to punch Cameron but Cheyenne caught his fist and wrenched his arm behind his back and wrestled him to the ground. LC emerged with two bandanas and she tied Tristen to the banister with them. Shawn and Hunter emerged from their rooms to see what was going on and saw Tristen Nash tied up to the banister with the ARK Angels surrounding him.
"Dad go back to bed we've got this," Cameron said to Shawn who had to wipe the sleep out of his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"I am not going back to bed until you three tell us what's going on out here," Shawn said.
"Why don't you ask your son?" Tristen said snarling at Cameron but the doorbell rang before Cameron could respond.
"I'll get it," LC said jumping down the stairs to answer the door and Hunter went with her.
"Shelton?" Hunter said when he answered the door and saw the Gold Standard looking back at him concerned.
"Tristen's here isn't he? I saw his bike outside," Shelton said and Hunter nodded.
"Yeah he is, how did you know?" Hunter said letting Shelton in.
"I had a feeling he'd be here where is he?" Shelton asked looking around.
"He's upstairs, we had to tie him to the banister," LC said.
"Yeah but why?" Hunter asked.
"Because Cameron blabbed about Charlene," Shelton answered jumping up the steps to see Shawn untying Tristen.
"Um that's probably not a good idea Uncle Shawn," LC said.
"Well I'm not having my god son tied up like some burglar," Shawn said and then Tristen went for Cameron again and Cheyenne tripped him up and sat on him.
"Get her off me!" Tristen said and Cheyenne leaned on him with all her weight which was maximized by her Phenomenal strength.
"No way you're dangerous Tristen Nash," Cheyenne replied.
"Not as dangerous as your brother's mouth!" Tristen replied and Shawn rolled his eyes and laughed a little bit.
"So that's what this is all about, you liking little Charlene McKenzie?" Shawn said making kissing noises at Tristen who balked in horror at the fact that his godfather knew about his feelings for Charlene.
"You told your old man?!" he said to Tristen who was red in the face with both embarassement and anger, "That's it, I'm gonna kick your butt Cameron!" he said trying to wiggle out from under GPS but he wasn't getting very far.
"I was the one who told Carla you liked Charlene," Cheyenne said and Tristen frowned and stopped wiggling.
"So I should be kicking your butt?" he said confused.
"I would love to see you try," Cameron said, "Let him up Chey," Cameron said to Cheyenne.
"Are you sure?" Cheyenne said and Cameron nodded, "Okay but I'm watching you Tristen,"
"I should be watching you Cheyenne, why did you tell Carla about me liking Charlene?" Tristen asked annoyed.
"She overheard me and LC talking about it, she has Phenomenal hearing," Cameron explained and Tristen sighed.
"Well that's just great!" he said trying to shake the feeling back into his arm then he saw Shelton glaring at him with his arms folded, "And where were you yesterday huh?" he said shoving Shelton, "I needed to talk to you!"
"I was here performing my godfather duties," Shelton said.
"Well you should have been with me performing your Kliq duties," Tristen replied angrily.
"I am performing my Kliq duties I called your cell phone to make sure you got to your Grandma's house okay and she said you didn't even show up. Do you know how mad your dad's gonna be when he finds out you came to Boca all by yourself?!" Shelton said.
"But I had business to take care of, personal business!" Tristen insisted.
"You're your father's personal business Tristen, nothing is more important to him that your safety. Do you know there's a little girl missing right now?" Shelton said and Tristen nodded.
"Yeah I heard about that," he said.
"Well imagine how your father would feel if he found out you were missing?" Shelton said and Tristen's face crumpled up and he looked at Shelton anxiously.
"So you're gonna tell him I didn't go to my Grandma's?" he said nervously.
"I told your Grandma you were with me, which is kind of true because you are now," Shelton said, "But don't let this happen again,"
Tristen hugged Shelton thankfully and Shawn and Hunter looked at each other impressed with what they were seeing.
"So is this little misunderstanding resolved now?" Shawn asked Tristen.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Cameron I shouldn't have gone all crazy on you. Forgive me?" Tristen said and Cameron nodded.
"What's to forgive?" he said and they hugged.
"That's much better, never let a girl come between you and your friend. Girls will come and go but the Kliq is for life," Hunter said and Tristen smiled sheepishly.
"Not this girl," he said dreamily, "this girl is something special, that's why I didn't want it getting around that I liked her. I wanted to tell her in my own way,"
"Well what's stopping you?" Shawn asked.
"Well for one thing she lives in New York," Tristen said.
"There's email?" Shawn suggested but Tristen shook his head.
"No Uncle Shawn you gotta see this girl in person," he said.
"I've seen her in person," Shawn said and Tristen's face went serious.
"What is that supposed to mean?" he said getting offended and Shawn frowned.
"It doesn't mean anything," he said and Cheyenne stepped in front of him just in case Tristen tried anything.
"He's quite the hot-head isn't he?" Hunter whispered to Shawn and HBK nodded as Shelton's cell phone rang.
"Really? Okay we'll be there real soon," he said and he closed his cell phone with a big smile on his face.
"Who was that?" Tristen asked him.
"That was your grandma, she said there's a little girl waiting for you at her house," Shelton said and Tristen's mouth dropped in shock.
"Do you think it could be Charlene?" he asked excitedly.
"I think it would be safe to say it was," Shelton said confidently, "So let's go," he said turning to go down the stairs but Tristen pulled him back.
"How did she know how to get to my Grandma's house?" Tristen said but Shelton didn't reply, eventually Tristen put two and two together, "You told her to come over didn't you?" Tristen said and Shelton nodded, "Shelton you're the best!" Tristen said hugging Shelton.
"Well I knew you didn't wanna meet her with your mom and dad there to embarrass you, that's why I was so worried when you didn't show up this morning," Shelton said and Tristen started to get nervous and the ARK Angels tried to calm him down.
"Don't worry Tristen you're gonna be fine," Cameron said.
"Maybe the ARK Angels should come with you, unless you think you're ready to go one-on-one?" Shelton asked Tristen who nodded that he'd be fine but he looked a little uncertain.
"Nah these guys got stuff to do, I think I'm ready to go one-on-one," Tristen said with faux confidence.
"No you're not," Trish said sticking her head out of her bedroom door, "I just thought you should know that," she said.
"You're supposed to be taking it easy," Shawn said gently pushing Trish back into her bedroom and closing the door.
"She's right I'm not ready, if you guys come with me it'll take some of the pressure off," Tristen said.
"Can we go with Tristen dad?" Cameron asked Shawn.
"I'll look after them you can trust me," Shelton said and Shawn and Hunter nodded.
"We trust you Shelton, go get 'em Tris," Shawn said rubbing Tristen's head while the ARK Angels went to get changed.
"I'm so excited, my first date with Charlene McKenzie," Tristen said rubbing his hands together, "Can we stop off and get her some flowers?"
"Now that's the first good idea you've had all morning," Shelton said and he continued to build Tristen's confidence up all the way from Boca Vista to Palm Springs.
Grandma Nash's house, Palm Springs, FL at 11am:
When Shelton pulled up to Grandma Nash's house she was on her doorstep and there was a man arguing with Charlene outside his car. Shelton came over to Grandma Nash to find out what was going on.
"It seems that little Charlene McKenzie came all the way here without her father knowing," Tristen's Grandma explained.
"She came all the way from New York by herself?" Shelton said horrified and Grandma Nash nodded, "Man that ain't good news," he said looking down at Tristen who didn't know what was going on.
"No its not, he wants to take her home right now," Grandma Nash said then she smiled at the ARK Angels, "Hi kids,"
"Hi Grandma Nash," the said at once then she saw Tristen standing with a bouquet of flowers looking very worried.
"Well don't just stand there Tris go give her the flowers," Grandma Nash said and Tristen looked at Shelton for reassurance.
"Go for it," Shelton said confidently, he wasn't sure how long it would be before Tristen saw Charlene again, from where he was standing his chances didn't look good.
Tristen walked cautiously over to Charlene who had tears in her eyes, this wasn't the way he wanted to see her but he put on a brave face and smiled.
"Hi Charlene," he said sweetly and Charlene wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to smile.
"Hi Tristen," she replied and he could see that she was very upset but he tried to cheer her up the best he could.
"I bought these flowers for you," he said handing her the pretty bouquet of pink flowers and they did make her smile.
"Thank you, they're beautiful," she said genuinely and Tristen's heart melted.
"Not as beautiful as you," he said and he covered his mouth when he realized that he had spoken out loud and Charlene smiled even more and Tristen felt warm and tingling all over.
"Let's go Charlene say goodbye," Mr. McKenzie said and the warm and tingling feeling Tristen felt was replaced with fear and dread.
"Daddy please I'm sorry, please let me stay!" Charlene begged her father but Mr. McKenzie's mind was made up.
"We've been through this Charlene you had no right coming here without telling me," Mr. McKenzie said.
"I would have told you daddy but then you would have insisted on coming with me and that would have been too embarrassing to bear!" Charlene argued and while Tristen totally understood, Charlene may have blown their only chance to be together.
"Charlene don't you know there is a little girl missing right now and her father is in Fiji worried about her? I know exactly how that man feels and fortunately for me I know where my daughter is and I'm not letting you out of my sight," Mr. McKenzie said.
"But Mr. McKenzie Shelton's here, he's an adult and he's totally trustworthy you can leave Charlene with him!" Tristen insisted and he waved for Shelton to come over and Shelton came a-running.
"Hello Mr. McKenzie," Shelton said and Mr. McKenzie gave him a closer look.
"Well if it isn't Mr. Benjamin, you were with my little girl back in Washington D.C," Mr. McKenzie said and Shelton remembered him.
"Yes I was, nice to meet you again sir," Shelton said.
"I remember my daughter wanted to stay with you and your wrestler friends before and I said I would let her on condition that you married that young lady," Mr. McKenzie said and Charlene started to remember.
"Yes sir I remember," Shelton said.
"Well did you marry that young lady?" Mr. McKenzie said and Shelton nodded proudly showing him his wedding band and a picture of Krystal from his wallet.
"Yes I did sir," he said and Mr. McKenzie nodded impressed.
"You are a man of your word Mr. Benjamin, if I could trust you then I don't see why I can't trust you now," Mr. McKenzie said and he looked at his daughter whose little face was beaming with hope as were the faces of Grandma Nash, Shelton, Tristen and the ARK Angels. "Okay sweetheart you can stay with Tristen under Mr. Benjamin's supervision. I'll be back here to pick you up at 3 o'clock," he said.
"Make it 4 o'clock?" Charlene asked and her father wagged his finger at her.
"Don't push it young lady," he said and he nodded at Shelton, "she's in your care,"
"I won't let you down sir," Shelton said and Mr. McKenzie got into his car and drove off. "That was a close one huh?" Shelton said to Tristen and Charlene the latter of which hugged him passionately.
"Thank you so much!" she said gratefully.
"That's no problem Charlene," Shelton said and when she was done hugging him Tristen pulled Shelton over to one side where no-one could see them and then he hugged Shelton crying.
"You don't know how much this means to me, if I didn't get to go on this date I don't know what I'd do," he said, "Uncle Shawn and Aunt Hunter knew what they were doing when they let you in the Kliq,"
Shelton nodded glad that he could have saved Tristen's first date with Charlene and judging by the look on her face there were going to be many more of those to come.
The ARK Angels celebrated with Charlene who was now Shelton Benjamin's Biggest Fan having ditched her John Cena back pack awhile ago.
"You know its by the grace of God that you're having this date with Tristen," Cameron said and Charlene nodded.
"Thank God Shelton's a man of integrity," Charlene said, "Unlike that man who kidnapped that little girl. I hope they catch him before he ruins another one of my dates!" she said angrily.
"Or kidnaps another girl," LC said more concerned with the real danger.
"Yeah sorry, my mind is kind of elsewhere," Charlene said craning her neck around to see Tristen coming towards her.
Cameron was glad Charlene and Tristen were having their first date but his mind was elsewhere too when his cell phone rang. It was Edge.
"Hi Edge I was just thinking about you," Cameron said and Tristen frowned at him, "Not like that," he said, "What's going on?"
"You tell me you guys do this all the time this is new territory for me," Edge said sitting in his room in Tampa while Angelina was asleep,
"What happened?" Cameron asked him, he could tell that Edge was shaken.
"I was reading my Bible all night and all morning and then God spoke to me," Edge said and Cameron looked up at Cheyenne and LC and signaled for them to come over to him.
"What's going on?" LC asked.
"God spoke to Edge this morning," Cameron said.
"That's great, what did he say?" LC asked.
"Edge what did God say?" Cameron asked Edge.
"He told me to reveal what was hidden," Edge said and Cameron smiled that was exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Did He say anything else?" Cameron asked.
"Just to listen for His Voice tomorrow," Edge said.
Tomorrow was SummerSlam and it was all starting to come together for Cameron, "Are you okay Edge?" Cameron said.
"I'm nervous Cameron God has never spoken to me like this before, what if I don't hear from Him?" Edge said.
"God has chosen you for a reason Edge, have faith in Him because He obviously has faith in you," Cameron said and Edge nodded.
"Thanks Cameron," Edge said and hung up and Cameron turned to LC and Cheyenne while Charlene and Tristen hollered for them to get in Shelton's car.
"Well what did God say to Edge?" LC asked.
"I'll put it this way, after tomorrow I think a lot of parents are gonna be breathing a sigh of relief," Cameron said and Cheyenne and LC nodded liking the sound of that before jumping into Shelton's car with a couple of kids who were equally excited only for completely different reasons.
