Vince stood waiting for Kev. "Hey Kev." he said looking up at the large man. Kevin Nash was a large man; it was to bad he had backed out of wrestling too. "Tell me what this is all about Vince." Kevin said. Vince sat down and told him everything Mark had told him about Tyger and Amber. Kevin just sat there in shock. "Get Mark in here so I can see the picture. I'm pretty sure it's her. Amber used to call him tiger that was her pet name for him, seems like she named the kid after him." Kevin said. Vince got on the phone and called Mark and told him to come back to his office.
Mark walked in Vince's office and seen Kevin Nash sitting there. "Hey Kev, what's up." Mark said. "Not much Mark." Kevin replied. "Show him the picture Mark." Vince said. Mark handed Kevin the picture. Kevin nodded. "That's Amber." He said. "Are you Tyger's father?" Mark asked "No Mark." Kevin said. "Then how do you know Amber?" he asked. "She was best friend's first real love. I knew her. That was back when we were just kids first starting out. Traveling from town to town, getting paid next to nothing. He met her in Norfolk; we were doing a small show there. He fell head over hills for her. We even stopped wrestling for about a month so he could spend time there with her. He wanted her to go with us. She wasn't but 17, her parents were dead. She lived with her older sister. Her sister didn't like him. She called the police on him and had him arrested for statutory rape since Amber wasn't but 17. The police told him to clear town and stay away from her and the charges would be dropped. He left heart broken. He really loved that girl. He went back when she was 18 but there was no trace of her. Over the last 20 years he would hire detectives to try to find her but nothing ever turned up." Kevin said. "Your talking about Scott Hall aren't you?" Mark said. Kevin nodded. "Sometimes I think it was the loss of Amber that screwed him up so bad, all the drinking and stuff. He was trying to drown the pain." Kevin said. "There's no doubt in my mind this is his kid, Amber was a virgin when Scott met her. She was the sweetest girl I ever met and she was crazy over Scott. She wouldn't have looked at another man." Kevin said. "Do you have a picture of Tyger?" Mark asked. Mark pulled the picture out and handed it to Kevin. "She got Scott's eyes." He said. "The question is what do we do now?" Mark said. "What do you mean? We tell Scott of course." Kevin said. "Listen this kid has been through hell. I know Scott has some big problems. The last thing she needs is him screwing up her life." Mark said. "Mark, I don't think it's up to you to play God. Tyger has the right to know who her father is. Scott has the right to know he has a kid and know what happened to Amber. He is doing really good here the last 6 months. He hasn't had a drop to drink. Finding out he has a kid might give him something to work for ya know?" Kevin said. Mark sighed. Kevin was right he couldn't keep this from Tyger. "Where does he live?" Mark asked. "In Florida." Kevin said. "Well let's book a flight. This is something he should be told in person." Mark said. "Yea your right." Kevin said. "I'll take care of the reservations guys. You guys get packed and I will call you and let you know when your flight leaves." Vince said. "Thanks Vince." They both said. Kevin and Mark left Vince's office and walked down the hallway together. "When are you going to tell Tyger?" Kevin asked. "Let's tell Scott first and see what his reaction is. Then I'll tell her." Mark said. "What is she like?" Kevin said. "Vince told you what happened to her?" Mark said. Kevin nodded. "Tough, Hardheaded, stubborn, mouthy, smart, funny, and sweet as hell when she wants to be." Mark said laughing. "Yea pretty much sounds like Scott's kid." Kevin said.
Tyger was working her butt off to get her shop ready to open. She had spent the last few days getting books on the shelves and she had hired 4 people. She would probably need more so she had started taking more applications. Her cell phone started ringing. "Hello." She said. "Hey honey." Mark said. "How's your shop coming along?" "Fine just working my butt off but it feels great to be doing something I love." She said. "That's great baby, I'm proud of you. Listen I'm heading to Florida for a couple of days after that I will call ya and let you know." Mark said. "Hot on someone's trail?" she asked. "Something like that." He said. Mark was sure being vague about whatever he was doing. "Okay, well I miss you. Do you think you'll be home pretty soon?" Tyger asked. "I don't know darlin, depends on how things go in Florida." He said. "I gotta go; I'll talk to you soon." Mark said. "Okay bye." Tyger said. Tyger stuck her phone back in her pocket and got back to work. She hoped Mark would be home soon.
Mark slept for most of the flight. All this traveling was beginning to take its toll on him. He woke up and looked around. Kevin was sitting there staring off into space. "You're worried about how Scott is going to take this aren't you?" Mark asked. "Yea, he has been mourning her these last twenty years, but he still thinks she is out there somewhere living her life. When he finds out she's dead I don't know what that's going to do to him." Kevin said. "Well we need to stress to him he has a daughter to think of. She might be grown but she still needs him. He has a second chance to be a father. Many people don't get second chances." Mark said. "Yea your right, I just hope Scott sees it that way." Kevin said.
Mark and Kevin pulled into driveway of a small house. Mark noticed it was in the middle of no where and isolated. "Come on, this is it." Kevin said. They steeped out of the car. Just then the front door opened and Scott walked out on the porch. "Big Kev is that you?" Scott yelled. "Yea buddy came for a visit." Kevin yelled back. Scott came down the drive and gave Kevin a hug. "Good to see you man." Scott said. Scott turned to Mark. "What you doing down my way Deadman?" he asked. "Uh let's go in the house Scott, we have some things to talk about." Kevin said. Scott raised his brow. "Okay." He said. Kevin looked at Scott he looked good. He had stopped drinking months back and he was starting to look healthy again. Scott showed them into the living room and went to make some coffee. He poured them all a cup and put them on a tray and took them to the living room. They all took there coffee. "Okay guys what's up?" Scott asked. "I guess I'll start." Said Mark. He told Scott about Tyger, not leaving out any details, from her rotten childhood to the rape and being on the run from the law for three years for a crime she didn't commit. "Damn poor kid. What happened to her parents how did she end up with that aunt of hers?" Scott asked. "Her mother died the day after she was born and her father was unknown at least that's what the aunt told everybody any way. Her aunt actually did know who the father was she just didn't tell him." Kevin said. Scott was beginning to get a weird feeling about this. "What's all this got to do with me Kev?" Scott asked. Kevin pulled out the picture of Amber and handed it to Scott. "This is Tyger's mother." Kevin said. Scott felt like cold water had been dumped on him. The pieces started to fit together. His Amber was dead, all these years he had held out hope he might find her one day and all along she had been dead. "Scott you all right?" Kevin asked. "That damn bitch Betty, she took my love away from me and know I find out she kept my kid from me." Scott said angrily. He banged his fist on the table. "Shit I don't believe this." Scott shouted. He jumped up and went to his bedroom and slammed the door. Mark and Kevin looked at each other wondering if he was going to be able to handle all this. "Give him some time to cool down and think." Kevin said. Mark nodded. He just hoped Scott didn't climb back into the bottle because of this.
I don't own Scott Hall or Kevin Nash…They own themselves and there wrestling personas belong to WWE and Vince McMahon.
