Thank you for the reviews..Love to see everyone guessing who the killer is..anyway, here's the next chapter with some new twists to drive you crazy,lol..please keep reading and reviewing.
John and Tex rushed into Mark's room to find Randy already there. Gunner was sitting on the bed looking pale and scared and he threw him self at Tex.
Tex pulled the boy in her arms hugging him tight. "Randy what happened?"
I heard a gunshot, my room is across the hall when I came out I seen somebody dressed in black with a ski mask on trying to shoot the door open, I yelled at them and they ran off, I tried to stop them, but they disappeared down the hallway, I came back here to see if the kids were okay."
Hunter came in the room. "Is everyone okay?"
Gunner looked up at Tex. "The kids are still asleep, I checked on them."
Tex hugged Gunner tighter. "You did great calling me, you did great." Tex said thinking about the awful things that could have happened.
"Did anybody call Mark?" Tex asked.
"Yea, I did, just told him somebody tried to break in the room, he was already on his way back." Hunter said.
The police arrived shortly and started to take everyones statements. Kevin came in and went over to Tex hugging her. "What happened?
Tex filled him in, while still hanging on to Gunner. She was scared now somebody was trying to hurt the kids too. She knew this had to be connected somehow.
Mark came storming in and Hunter and Randy intercepted him, letting him know what had happened.
Mark glared over at Tex. He walked over to her and pulled Gunner away from her. "This is all your doing, you hanging around my boys, stay away from them, don't come anywhere near my kids, the killer probably followed you right to this room."
Tex looked up at the anger in his eyes. She swallowed hard, Why did she always let this man get to her?
Tex looked at Gunner. "I love you." She said and walked out of the room.
John glared at Mark, he had a lot he wanted to tell the jerk, but he didn't want Tex wondering around by herself. He followed after Tex to catch up with her.
Kev looked at Mark and had to hold him self back from punching the bastard. "Get your story straight Mark, Tex wasn't even here, somebody tried to break in and Gunner called Tex, she came straight down here with no thought to her own safety to protect your kids."
Randy and Hunter were frowning at him too, but they said nothing.
The police finished there report and the hotel management came up to tell Mark they would be moving them to different rooms since the door was messed up from the gunshot.
Everyone finally cleared out and Mark turned to look at Gunner sitting on the bed. He sat down beside him. "We have to get the kids up and get them moved to the other room."
Gunner looked at Mark. "Why do you do that to her, she didn't have anything to do with what happened, I called her and she came right down here to protect us."
Mark rubbed his hands through his hair. "Gunner I didn't know, I just saw her here and assumed to came to see you and that she put you in danger."
"Dad, someone is trying to hurt all your kids, Tex included , I don't know why. Let's get the kids up." Gunner said going into the other room to wake up the girls and Kevin.
Mark sighed, was Gunner right was someone after his kids for some reason, was it someone who was trying to get to him through his kids, Mark knew he had made a lot of enemies over the years, but damn someone who would hurt children, what kind of sick fuck would do that?

"Come on Tex, try to eat something." John coaxed.
Tex got up and lay down on the bed. "Not hungry." She said.
There was knock at the door and John sighed. He wished everyone would leave them alone. Randy was standing there looking none to happy. "Why the fuck are you two rooming together?
John wasn't in the mood for this shit. "Tex is grown Randy, she's not a little kid, if we want to room together, its none of your damn business."
Tex got up off the bed and came over. "Both of you cut the shit out, my night has been really shitty, and I ain't in the mood for no pissing contest.
Both guys looked at her and then back at each other. Tex grabbed Randy's arm and pulled him in the room. "Sit both of you."
The guys sat down at the table and glared at each other.
"You two are best friends, Randy you're my family, I love you. John you're not in any competition with Randy. Randy I'm a grown woman, who I room with is my business. So you two just cut the bullshit." Tex said sitting down between them.
Randy and John both had the good grace to look ashamed.
Randy took her hand and kissed it. "Sorry."
Tex smiled and leaned over hugging him. "It's okay."
"Me too, sorry I mean, I know you don't need any more crap tonight." John said.
Tex leaned over kissing John. "Okay, you're forgiven."
John couldn't get the stupid grin off his face, he was really starting to feel this girl.
Randy noticed the goofy grin on John's face and smiled. Okay so maybe John would be good for Tex.
"I just came by to check on you after Mark jumped on you, I was worried about you." Randy said.
Tex shrugged. "I'm used to Mark's shit, don't worry about it."
Randy knew she always said that, but the shit had to get to her, she just hid it well. Randy looked at John and knew he was thinking the same thing, he was looking at her with a concerned look on his face.
"Mark called Jodi to let her know what happened, she and Scott will be in sometime tomorrow, I guess Jodi is taking the boys back home." Randy said.
"Thats not a good idea, if someone is trying to hurt the kids, there safer here surrounded by us, than being with Jodi, who has no protection." Tex said.
"You may be right, it might be a good idea to mention that to Scott, right now he has more influence with Jodi than anyone."
Tex nodded.
Randy got up and kissed Tex. "Get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
Tex nodded and got up and lay back down on the bed. John got up and went and sat on th edge of the bed. "You really should eat something."
Tex shook her head. "I'm not hungry."
John got up and pulled off his pants and shirt leaving him in his boxers. He turned off the light and got in the bed pulling Tex over beside him. He leaned in over her and kissed her slowly until she relaxed.
"Better?" He asked.
Tex smiled and reached up to cup his cheek in her hand. "Yea much better."
John kissed her again slowly his lips melding over hers. Tex pulled her self closer running her hands over his big arms.
John touched his tongue to her lips, and Tex opened her mouth allowing him to glide his tongue in.
Tex sighed in pleasure, his kisses were just like she remembered intoxicating.
John slid his hand under her shirt and ran his finger over her the warm skin of her stomach. He felt her stiffen and he kissed her gently and pulled back. "Relax, I'm just going to make you feel good girl, nothing more." he said and once again covered her mouth with his, deepening the kiss pushing his tongue into explore the warm confines of her sweet mouth.
His hand inched down to the waistband of her boxers and he slid them down enough to cup her pulsing heat.
Tex's hips surged upward even as his mouth plundered hers. Tex's hands tightened on his arms. Pleasure knifed through her sharply.
John's lips moved from her mouth to the skin of her neck, he nipped at the skin and Tex moaned. John's fingers slid to caress the wet heat between her legs and Tex whimpered with need.
John smiled against the skin of her neck and he licked and sucked his way down. He stopped suddenly and pulled off her shirt. Tex watched him with eyes wide with passion and longing.
John smiled down at her. "You're beautiful Tex." He whispered as his fingers once again parted her thighs and found her wetness.
Tex gasped when he lowered his head and latched on to one breast. Tex grasped his head pulling him closer as his tongue swirled around the the peak and it hardened in his mouth.
His finger found her nub and he started rubbing it with two fingers, setting a rhythm while his mouth suckled her nipple harder.
Tex's hips bucked as the pleasure from his mouth and fingers seemed to radiate out from her like a lightning bolt.
"Johnnnn." She moaned as her hips pushed against his fingers. John lifted his mouth from her breast and once again covered her mouth and he plunged his tongue between her lips.
John felt her muscles tighten as she climaxed, his mouth swallowing her whimpers of pleasure. His finger continued to rub her wetness, till her body relaxed. He placed wet kisses on her lips and face and then lay back pulling her in his arms.
"Now get some sleep." He said pulling her tighter in his arms.
"But Cena..."
"No buts...I'm good..get some sleep...tomorrow is another day and tomorrow, I'm going to make love to you real slow." He whispered in her ear.
Tex blushed and wrapped her arm around his waist and closed her eyes.
John watched her sleep, she was exhausted. He ran his hands up and down her back, loving the feel of her smooth skin. John couldn't believe he had hated Tex all those years, because what he was feeling now sure wasn't hate.

Mark pulled a beer out of the mini fridge and laid back on his bed, they switched rooms and the kids were back asleep, except Gunner, who was staring a hole in his father because, he had wanted to go see Tex, and Mark had said no.
"Boy go to bed, You can see Tex tomorrow." Mark said.
Gunner sighed and got up from the chair he was sitting in. "Okay, you need to apologize to her."
Mark just rolled his eyes, the boy was really pushing him.
Mark's cell rang and he picked it up. It was his lawyer.
"Whats up Mike." Mark asked.
"Uhh Mark, I got some bad news." Mike said.
Mark sat up on the side of the bed. God what else could go wrong. "What is it?"
"The police found Sara, I'm sorry Mark, her body was found in a ravine only two miles from the house, her throat was cut." Mike said.
Mark's beer fell from his hand on to the carpet. Gunner seen the look on his dad's face and he picked the beer up and set it on the table.
"Why, why would someone do that?" Mark asked. Him and Sara had there differences, but he never wanted this. The girls didn't have a mother, what the hell was he going to tell them.
"The police are investigating, you don't have anything to worry about, you were working at the time of her death, she's been dead at least three days. They don't have any leads yet."
Mark sighed and hung his head. "Keep in touch and let me know if the police need to talk to me." he said and hung up.
"Dad, whats wrong?" Gunner asked, he had never seen his dad looking the way he looked now.
Mark looked up at Gunner. "It's Sara, she's dead."
Gunner's mouth fell open, he had never liked her, but the poor girls, what would they do without a mother.
'I'm sorry dad." Gunner said not sure what to do.
Mark nodded. "Go on to bed, I got to figure out how to tell the girls."
Gunner walked to the other bedroom in a daze, what was happening, everyones life was being tuned upside down. He didn't understand, maybe someone was trying to get at his dad.
Mark picked up the phone to call Hunter and let him know what happened. He figured all this was tied in together, Mark wasn't big on coincidences, Some one trying to hurt Tex, then his kids and now Sara was dead, it was all connected, now he just had to figure out how.
When he got off the phone with Hunter he called Vince and let him know he was going to need a few days off to take care of funeral arrangements for Sara.
He knew Jodi would be arrive in the morning, the boys could stay with her, while he took care of arrangements, he would take the girls with him.
Mark finally lay back and closed his eyes. He would call his dad in the morning and give him a heads up, if someone was trying to hurt Mark, they may just target all of his family, he wanted his dad to be alerted to be careful.

Tex tossed and turned in th bed, moaning. John woke up and was about to wake her, but then he thought maybe she should try to get through the dream, maybe she could remember then.
Instead he wrapped arm loosely around her, and just laid beside her, hoping she would remember something.
Tex kept her eyes shut tight as the man lifted her. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, but he hurt Mama.
"Just a dream Tex, go back to sleep."
The stuff mama gave her made her feel so sleepy, she could hardly stay awake anyway, she didn't know why she had even woke up, voices, she heard loud voices.
The hands that carried her were gentle, they cradled her lie she was a baby. "It's okay Tex, you're safe, I made sure you was."
Still she kept her eyes shut tight.
"Just a dream."
The words kept echoing through Tex's head. She was dreaming, she could open her eyes this time, if she wanted to, but she was scared.
Tex felt herself being laid down and covered back up. She felt lips brush her forehead. "It's okay little girl, you're safe."
Tex forced herself to open her eyes even though she was scared.
"Rick?" She said confused.
"Shh little girl, you was having a bad dream, go back to sleep." Rick said pushing her hair back from her face.
"mama..."
"Go back to sleep baby." Rick said and kissed her cheek.
Tex was so sleepy, the drugs made her groggy, she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.
Tex sat up and bed and her eyes came wide open.
John sat up beside her and put his arms around her. "Tex you okay?"
Tex leaned against John and wrapped her arms around him. "I know who killed my mama."
John held her tighter. "Who Tex?"
Tex buried her face in John's chest, it hurt to think about it. "Rick Flair."
