Chapter 9.

Gaby stared at the TV screen in disbelief. Raven had saved her? She hadn't really ever talked to Raven before, so why would he go to the trouble to take out Goldberg like that when Mark and Glen were going to do it? She sat and watched Raven intently trying to figure out why he did what he did. As Raven scored the pin, Gaby got up and left the room, Mark and Glen knew where she was going even without her telling them.

She walked down the hallway in search of his dressing room. The corridors seemed so long and endless she didn't think that she would ever find it.

"You looking for me?" Gaby gasped as she turned around.

"You scared me."

"I have that effect on people. Everyone tends to be scared of me. I'm a scary individual."

"I'm not always scared of you, you just surprised me, that's all. Yeah, I was looking for you actually. You didn't have to do that to Goldberg, you know. Thanks."

"Don't worry about it. What's done is done. We shouldn't dwell on the past."

"Are you saying that you would like for me to leave it at that? Not mention it again?"

"Maybe. I don't like being a hero."

"You want to be the scary, brooding guy, not the good guy, huh?"

"Yeah, something like that."

"Alright, well, my brother is waiting on me, I guess I should go. I'll see you around Raven." Gaby said as she turned to leave.

"Hey, what are you doing later?"

"Nothing why? Would you like for me to come over and brood with you?"

"Yeah, something like that."

"I'm in room 519. I'll be there right after the show is over."

"Yeah, alright. I might see you later then."

"Bye Raven." Gaby left and headed back to Mark's dressing room.

Back in Mark and Glen's dressing room.

"Hey Gaby, did you find him?"

"Yeah, hey Mark, can we go right back to the hotel after the show?"

"Sure, why?"

"Um, can't we just go back to the hotel without the Spanish inquisition?"

"What time is he coming over?" Glen asked.

"What are you talking about, Glen, I just want to get back to the hotel, um, there's a movie on the Lifetime network that I heard about earlier, and I want to make it back in time for it. Is that ok?"

"So he's going to be over shortly after we get there?"

Gaby just hung her head. She couldn't lie to them, and they knew it. "Yeah, and I need time to get ready. There, are you happy now that you know?"

"We had a hunch when you walked in, but we'll get to the hotel as soon as our match is over so that you can get ready. Are y'all going out or staying in the room with us, or going to his room?"

"Don't know yet. He asked what I was doing later, I gave him the room number, and he said that he might see me later. So, I have no idea. I guess I'll find out when he gets there."

After Raw was over, Mark, Glen, and Gaby headed to the hotel. As they approached the door, they noticed a sunflower laid outside of the door with a note attached.

*Jeans and a t-shirt tonight

- Raven*

"Well, I guess that tells me what to wear. Now I just gotta find out what we are doing."

Gaby went into the bathroom and got ready. She came out wearing low-rise jeans, a black tank top, and a pair of 3 1/2" boots. "How do I look? I was kinda trying to go with his whole jeans and t-shirt punk kinda thing."

"You look good sis."

"Thanks Mark."

"Be careful. We don't know where Goldberg went to after Raw, so just keep an eye on your surroundings. Okay?"

"Alright Glen." Gaby heard a knock on the door and she looked out the peephole, it was Raven.

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yeah, let me get my coat."

Gaby grabbed her coat and she and Raven left for the night, but not before Mark made Raven promise to keep her safe. "So, Raven, where are we going?"

"I thought we'd have dinner and a movie. What do you think?"

"Sounds good, but where?"

"If it's ok, I was thinking my room. It has started raining really bad, and I didn't think that you wanted to get out in it. If that's ok, if you're uncomfortable with it after what Goldberg did- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up-"

"Raven! It's ok, just know that if you try what he tried I will rip off your manhood with my bare hands, then I will tell the brothers of destruction, and you know what they'll do."

"I understand. Come on, we'll check the movie schedule and the room service menu." With that, Gaby and Raven headed to his room for the evening.
