Chapter Nineteen
* Rob and Bradshaw are in their locker room getting changed to go to the opening of a Downtown Chicago nightclub. Bradshaw has just come out of the shower to find Rob still not dressed and sitting on the bench looking at the floor. He looks up when he hears
Bradshaw enter. *
What?
Did you give McMahon the tape of Heaven?
* Bradshaw is quiet for a second. Finally he looks Rob in the eye and answers him. *
Yeah as a matter of fact I did. I made a copy of that one you always take with you on the road.
Oh no you mean the one with her jumping off the garage roof into the snow?
Yeah that the one because you keep adding to it every time you go and watch her.
She might get pissed at you for doing it especially if she finds out that you gave Vince that one.
I know but to damn bad. And anyway all I did was show Vince and Linda the tape. They are the ones who decided that they liked what they saw.
Shit. I'm glad that you did it.
Me too Rob.
I'm glad she is here with us so that we can keep an eye on her.
Fuckin a, This is where she should be with her talent. Especially with that sick fuck getting out this week.
I know it. Damn I still can't believe that she didn't tell me he was retried. I still need to talk to her about that. I just hope that she can explain to me where the hell her head was at the time.
When are you going to do that?
I don't know maybe tomorrow at breakfast if I can get her to go and have some with me. Want to come with?
Afraid to deal with her alone?
Damn straight I am. You know just as well as I do how she can get. If I say the wrong thing she could dump a cup of coffee over my head or else lay me out flat.
That's for damn sure.
* Both men laugh. Then they start to get dressed as they talk. *
When was the last time that you saw or talked to her?
I seen her about six months back when I had that messed up ankle from Jeff and me both hitting that ladder.
Oh yeah I remember that. You too are both nuts when it comes to those ladder matches that you are always trying to talk Vince into.
Were not nuts we just give the fans what they came for is all. And like hey man you can talk with all the crap you've been hit with in some of these Hardcore matches. But that was the last time I saw her. I did talk to her about a month ago but only for a few minutes to get her new cell number. What about you?
I went and watched a show about two month's back. She wasn't having a good night. One of the bitches was giving her shit. Plus she landed wrong coming for the top turnbuckle. So I just sent her a couple of dozen daisies.
You never told her you were there?
No. I had to get back on the road and head out right after the show anyway to catch up for the next weeks Raw. And I haven't talked to her in a good couple of months.
Yeah we really need to talk to her then. So do you want to take her out to breakfast tomorrow morning?
Yeah RVD I'll come with and protect your sorry damn ass from you little sister.
Thanks Dude. Hey Bradshaw remind me to also ask her how long she's been back on the meds for the headaches?
Sure.
* Both men are dressed and are grabbing their gear. All of a sudden Rob turns toward Bradshaw whose back is towards him. He folds his arms over his chest and watches Bradshaw as he asks his next question. *
So you knew that McMahon was going to make her a Bad Ass biker chic? Or did you suggest it to him?
* Bradshaw stops what he is doing and turns around to face RVD. A sheepish grins starts to spread over Bradshaw's face.*
Um a little bit of both.
Oh do tell.
Shit I knew that Vince was looking for a biker but he was also hoping she could be a Diva too. And we both have known for years that Heaven has wanted to be more like her real self.
Yeah go on friend?
Fuck. Hell Rob she is a biker chic and always has was. In that way she took after her real parents.
Yeah I know it. It used to drive Mom and Dad nuts when she would wear the clothes or do the things she did. I still remember the first tattoo she had done. Mom cried for about a week over that one. Till Heaven explained that it was to cover the scar. Mom blamed me for her turning into a biker chic.
I know. Hell I figured they were going to kill you when you gave her that bike the day she got out of the hospital.
I know it. But then they realized that I was just trying to give her something to fight for and work towards.
I'll be honest with you Rob. I really was shocked when she rode it only five months out of the hospital.
Hell Bradshaw we were all shocked. My Mom almost had a heart attack. She wanted my Dad to follow her.
I can believe that.
* The two men start to head out of the locker room and down the hall. *
Did you know that Vince was going to try and team her up with The Brothers of Destruction?
* Bradshaw glances sideways at Rob. *
Yeah I did. As a matter of fact he asked me if I felt she could hold her own against Taker?
And you said yes?
Yeah I did and I still think that she can. That is if Taker and Kane decide to let Heaven join.
And you think this is good for her? Hell what if she starts to fall for one of them?
Then it was meant to be.
No Bradshaw what should have been was you too.
Shit Rob that is ancient History now. I'm all for her being happy.
And what if she picks Taker. Fuck I don't even think him and that physco bitch are divorced yet. I mean look how he was after she got hit.
You mean Caring?
Fuck Bradshaw. I don't want him around my sister.
You going to tell him that?
If I have to.
Then maybe I should ask you if you're looking to be made famous?
If that what it will take to keep Heaven safe.
Oh boy life is suddenly getting interesting since Heaven has joined us.
Yeah ain't it. Shit lets stop at the gorilla pit before we leave.
Ok but why?
I just want to warn her that Taker might be still married. That way too we can ask her to go out to breakfast with us tomorrow.
Do you think it will matter to her if she likes him?
You know there was a time when I would have said yes. But I don't know if I know her any more.
Well it's not like they are going to be making out or screwing tonight. Hell Rob she just got here. Plus we are talking about Taker and Heaven.
True. Especially since neither Heaven or Taker lets anyone in easily. Not even family. Let's stop any way.
Ok lets go.
* Bradshaw and Rob head down to the pit unaware that Molly and Trish weren't far behind and listening to what they were talking about. Molly has a grin on her face and Trish looks a little upset. *
