That Fatal Moment
A/N: Ok this chapter stupid. I was trying to make it a lighter tone on the undertaker and Kane's part but it didn't really turn out that way.
I want to thank those who have reviewed this story. Thanks a million!
*************************************************************
All night long I had awful nightmares that Kane had died. They kept me on edge until I could see him. As soon as visiting hours started I was on my way to the hospital. I was so worried. That scared me and I hated being scared. What if he had died, What if ......... I can't think that way. 'He's fine,' I told myself I just wish I could believe it. I arrived at the hospital and rushed down the hall to room 136. I swallowed and pushed open the door. I was relived to find Kane sitting up in bed watching television.
Kane looked up and said, " Hey I was wondering if you were coming."
"Hey Kane, how ya doing?"
"I'm doing much better. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine," I mumbled knowing he wouldn't by that for a second. And I was right. He looked at me his eyes silently demanding the truth. Kane could say more with his eyes then most people could in their entire lives. Right now those eyes held eyes held a mixture of anger, sadness, but most of all hurt. 'Great,' I thought, 'I've upset him. That's the last thing I wanted to do.'
"Kane," I began, " I was scared that I would lose you."
Kane's eyes softened and he said, " Mark, I know. But you have to let this go. I'm here, I'm alive and nothing is going to change that, ok? I'm not dead and I don't plan on dying. So just give it a rest, please for me?"
"Okay."
I turn to look at the television and am shocked by what he is watching.
"Jerry Springer. Kane, that is going to warp your mind."
He smirks, "There was nothing else on unless you wanted me to watch the teletubbies."
"No!!! So what's today's topic?"
"The usual my boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on me with my cousin."
I laugh at this. Nothing ever changes. Somehow or another Kane gets me to laugh. I'll never figure out how he does it but he does. Ever since we were kids when I was upset with something he made me laugh.
Then I realize that Kane was right and everything would be all right, as long as I have him here nothings really going to change. Sure I had come close to losing him but as long as he's here it'll be okay.
I laugh out loud at realizing this. Kane gives me a funny look that clearly said are you on crack or something?
"Sorry I just thought of something."
"Care to share with the class?"
I rolled my eyes and said no. "Kane, I have to go but I'll be back later."
"Bye."

After leaving the hospital I went straight to the devil himself, Vince McMannon. (sp?)
"Vince, what in the hell is going on? Don't you have fuckin' security in this building?"
"Hey now calm down."
"Calm down. CALM DOWN. YOU EXPECT ME T OCALM DOWN. MY BROTHER is in the HOSPITAL because your lousy security can't do their job."
"I'm aware of what happened last night. In the interest of .............."
"DON'T give me your 'In the interest of fairness' bullshit. It is not going to help in this situation."
"I was going to say in the interest of your brother I agree."
"Oh, sorry." 'God this is embarrassing.'
"Now I'm going to double the security. I want you to go to the hotel and stop worrying."
"Ok. Bye."
I drove to the hotel, fell back on the bed and was asleep in minutes.
*************************************************************
It was five p.m. when I woke up. Somehow I managed to get up. I thought about the day's events: seeing Kane and yelling at Vince. I thought about Monday night, yesterday, the day my world was turned upside down. Who ever had shot at us knew we had a match.
'How is that possible?' I thought. That match was made at the last minute. It was only made because Vince wanted to punish us for interfering in Austin and Triple H's business. So how could that person know? Well I'm going to find out. Nobody messes with my family. I'm going to track that sob down and whoop his ass so bad he'll never consider walking let alone shooting someone again. 'Whoa,' I thought. I need to calm down some. I need to talk to someone.
I called Sara and filled her in on everything that had happened. She calmed me down enough to think rationally about the whole situation. After I hung up with her I was in a much better mood. I decided to go see Kane while I had the chance. I locked the hotel room door and headed out to the parking lot wondering if this was going to get any worse.
