Chapter Five
(My First Morning with The WWE)
** Well with a little running and a lot of pushing we have actually made it here to the All State Arena on time. Linda and Vince were both there to meet Chance and I at the door. Once again they welcomed me to the WWE family. Vince even leaned down and talked Chance out of come from behind my leg to shake hands. Of course he did it by promising him that he could meet some of the wrestlers and even watch tonight's matches with him. That just added to the feelings of warmth that seem to roll off of Vince and Linda. The first thing that Linda has set up is a quick tour for Chance and me, of the back workings of the WWE. And then over to the area set up as a school slash play area for the children. There are a handful of kids already there for the day. Linda introduces Chance and myself to the head instructor Ms. Charlene Richman. She seemed nice and told Chance that for today he could play with any thing he wanted. My son told her thank you but could he play with his own toys. She laughed and told him of course. Chance spots a little boy of about the same age who is playing with some wrestling action figures. So after giving me a hug and a kiss. He gets his figures out of the bag and runs over to play. Charlene tells me that he will be fine if I want to leave and that I could come back at lunchtime to eat with him. I smile because my son unlike his Mom has already fallen into a place here where he is meant to be. I just hope my place is the same and as easy to fall into. After leaving Chance with the other kids I had to go sign all the proper forms to be an employee of the WWE. Linda and Vince then took me over to the room where the writers and Jim Ross are making any last minute changes in the story lines for tonight's show. I can't believe how nice everyone is and Jim is like a big old cowboy who is so nice you can't help but laugh at his jokes. The head writer is a man by the name of Ron Sim. He comes over to shake my hand but instead kisses me on the cheek. **
Ron: Lilah right?
Lilah: Yes sir.
** This causes him to laugh and Vince to shake his head. Linda then tells me that around here everyone goes by his or her first name. Except for most of the wrestlers who don't mind if you call them by their first name or their character names. I know this is going to be fun because Ron asks me a question that I really don't know how to answer. **
Ron: Lilah how are you at keeping names and faces straight?
Lilah: I think I do ok?
Ron: Good because for the next couple of days you are going to be spending most of your time getting to know story lines. Both the current lines and the old ones for each wrestlers. Plus it would help if you could put a person with the story line.
Lilah: All right how do I start?
Ron: Ok first another question and then I will know where to start you. Oh and Vince she is an eager one isn't she.
Vince: See I know when I've hired the right person.
Linda: Yes dear you do oh and we should make sure that we give a good bonus to that limo driver.
Ron: Limo driver?
Linda: Yes Ron without him soaking her and Mark telling him to stop so that he could make sure that she was ok we never would have found her.
** Everyone laughs and in the back of my mind I store the information that I owe getting my job to Mark. I'll have to think of some nice way to say thank you. Maybe I will see if he would come over for a home cooked dinner one night. At least cooking is something that I can do. Well I might as well get the question over so that I can get on with my first day of work. **
Lilah: Ok so what was your question Ron?
Ron: Lilah how much watching of the WWE have you done before now?
Lilah: I'm sorry to say only a little and that was with my son.
Ron: Ok then what or who's story do you know anything about?
Lilah: Well the one story that I do know a little something about is what my son and landlady has told me. They said that the Undertaker and his brother Kane fight sometimes and other times work together. That the story line started when Kane came in was something about him being in a fire caused by his brother. Something about it also killing their parents?
Ron: Ok good then I'm going to start you with them this morning and then we will move on to others as you are done.
Vince: That might not be a bad spot to start her especially since she has already met Mark. And maybe later he could introduce her to Glen. You've got a smart little boy and landlady.
Lilah: Yes they both are a godsend to me.
Linda: Ok Lilah being you are in such good hands we going to leave you to get started. If you need anything just ask and then sometime after lunch we will talk again.
Lilah: Ok and thank you.
** After Linda and Vince leave me Ron turns me over to one of his assistants a woman shows me over in the corner to where a computer is sitting. It's a good thing that I have gotten over my fear of these things. She then shows me how to access all the old story lines by first going into the story achieves, and then by just putting in the Wrestlers name. Well I can see that there are a lot of story lines and even a lot more people. I don't know how I am going to put a face with everything but I am going to try. I get to work because I want to know what I can about Marks story lines before I hopefully see him later. I also have a lunch date with my son at twelve thirty. **
Author Notes: Here is another one I hope you enjoy it. Please if you Read it, Review it. Flames are ok too because without them I wouldn't know if something needs to change.
