CHAPTER ELEVEN: HOUDINI STRIKES AGAIN


"Dammit! Eve!" The Undertaker's bellow echoed down the hallways.

*Well, that answers that question,* Eve thought as she ran out of her dressing room. She'd discovered just moments ago that Houdini was not in his cage and a quick, frantic search of the room had not turned him up.

"God, I'm so sorry, 'Taker," Eve said, partially out of breath as she arrived at the door to the man's dressing room. "I don't know how he got out of the dressing room."

Undertaker just stared at her hard for a second before sighing an angry, scary sigh. "It's on the couch," he bit out.

Eve could feel 'Taker eyeing her the whole time she walked in to get Houdini. Kane was standing off to one side. She said, "Hi," and he nodded to her.

With Houdini in her possession, Eve slunk past 'Taker with her gaze lowered. RVD was out in the hallway, smirking.

"Better keep a closer eye on that snake of yours. If I find it in my dressing room, you're never gonna see it again."

'Taker wasn't very happy with Eve right now, but he wasn't about to stand around and let her be intimidated by that pig. "Why don't you get out of here, you little weasel," he said in his best intimidating tone, stepping up beside Eve. Rob opened his mouth to say something when Kane moved to Eve's other side. Rob stood there with his mouth hanging open a few seconds before he thought to close it. While he was crazy enough to take on one of these men, he wasn't stupid enough to tackle both of them at the same time. He left.

Eve looked to the two men. "Thanks, guys." She wondered what Rob's problem was. Ever since her last battle with Stacy Keibler, when he'd slammed her in the back with the Hardcore belt, he'd taken to harassing her and interfering in her matches - he'd been at a house show the night of her match with Lita, which was why he hadn't interfered then. Rob was becoming a real problem for her, yet she'd pretty much had nothing to do with him since she'd started wrestling here. Maybe it had something to do with Stacy. Those two seemed to be hooking up and it could be the reason RVD seemed to be gunning for her.

Later that night RVD had a match against the Rock. He walked down to the ring with Stacy on his arm.

Rock was doing well in the match until Stacy began to interfere, distracting the referee when he had the pin on Rob and attacking him whenever she could get away with it. Rock lost the match when Stacy nailed him with a chair to the face and Rob was there to pin him.

So Eve wasn't the only one on their hit list.
