Summary: Kimberley has a dream job, but there is only one downfall. The man she happens to be secretly in love with is also the man she is in charge of protecting. What is a young tough girl supposed to do?
A/N: Did Jeff really do what they seem to think he did? Did I tease you by making you think he didn't do a thing but he really did? Well why don't you scroll down a little and find out what is about to unfold.
Kimberley couldn't believe it. It was all unfolding around her, the events of the evening and the past few weeks and nothing seemed to add up. Had Jeff followed her out of Jarrett's office and come to take care of her and Matt as they took their shower together? Had Ric really been there to stop him from making a mistake he would regret? How could she have been so off the mark.
"What are you thinking about baby?" Matt cooed into her ear as they watched the police talking too a very shook up Jeff. He wasn't showing any of the signs of someone who had something to hide, other then the NWA secret that still loomed over everyone's heads.
"This doesn't make any sense Matt. Why would Jeff want Amy dead, and plan it so that he was there when she did die? And why the hell would Ric come to our rescue?"
"I Don't know Kimmie, but you saw the same thing as I did when we walked out of the bathroom. Jeff had the gun in his hands and it seems to add up to what we think happened here. Jeff obviously wanted us dead."
"No, I don't believe that."
"Then what do you believe Kimberley huh? That Ric came to the room to kill us as we were in the shower and that Jeff wanted to stop him and got knocked out, and a mysterious person put the gun in his hands?"
"Well it sounds a whole hell of a lot better then believing your brother is a killer doesn't it? I cant believe that you actually believe he has that kind of a heart that he would kill his own brother."
She pulled away from Matt's arms and made her way over to where Jeff was standing nodding his head to something the officer was saying. She just had to know what Jeff had to say for himself. She wasn't going to wait for the police to make up their minds. She was running this and she wanted answers.
"Excuse me, do you think I could talk to him for a minute?" She batted her eyes at the officer, knowing it would get her what she wanted, and when he nodded and walked over to where Matt stood, she smiled. Works like a charm every time.
"I didn't do this Kimberley, you have to believe me!" Jeff pleaded, about five seconds away from crying. It was obvious to Kimberley that a killer couldn't even act this good. She knew Jeff had come in at the wrong time and was now probably going to pay for it.
"I have a hunch you didn't either. Can you tell me what you remember?"
"Ric was standing by the bathroom with a gun, I ran into the room to try and stop you from telling Matt about the NWA deal I made, I ran into him, and then everything went dark, and when I came too, the police were here, and Ric was lying there dead. I swear I don't remember even touching him."
"I didn't tell your brother about the NWA, I didn't have the heart too. We kind of had more important things on our minds at the time. So your secret is safe for now."
She hadn't realized it but Matt had come up behind her at that moment. She turned to face him and saw the anger in his eyes at there being something that he didn't know about.
"What secret are you willing to keep for him? A killer one?" Matt choked out, his anger flushing out every other emotion running through him.
"No Matt, as much as you want to believe what we saw here was true, Jeff didn't do this, I know he didn't do this."
"Then why the hush hush secret keeping meeting over here?"
Kimberley had just about had enough. There was enough tension in this room to choke the life out of her. She knew that it wasn't her place to reveal Jeff's NWA jump, but something had to be done here before they attacked each other.
"Jeff, I think it might be best if you talk to your brother now. There is obviously some sort of issue between the two of you that I just cant see, and if it doesn't get fixed soon, I am out of here. Now if you don't mind, I am going to call Uncle Jim and let him know what happened here tonight, why don't the two of you just fight and get it over with."
Leaving at that moment, and letting the officers know where she was going, she took one last look behind her to see that Matt had obviously listened to her speech and was talking to him.
The air was cold as she stepped outside, unaware of anything happening around her. This had been one hell of a night. Hell, they had all been nights like this since the killing spree started. There just had to be answers somewhere. This person, this maniac couldn't just be running around killing people without so much as a clue left behind. Who was that good?
As she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and began pushing the numbers in, she felt a heavier breeze come around her. Within seconds she heard the cell phone hit the ground, and a dark arm throw something around her mouth.
Kimberley positioned her body around, and looking into the eyes of a killer she realized he had been that good, and that if she got out of this alive, no one would even believe it. As the drug finally took her over, she went limp into the killers arms, but not before whispering something only he could hear.
"I can't believe you would do this to me."
"You love her don't you Jeff? That is why all of this is happening right now isn't it? You are taking out everything in her path so you can have her."
Jeff couldn't believe what his brother was saying. It was no secret that he loved Kimberley and thought Matt was only out to hurt her in the long run. But to start killing people that really had nothing to do with her? All of the insanity around him must have been making him slightly insane himself.
"Yes Matt as a matter of fact I do love her, but you already know that. What you don't seem to realize is that I know she loves you, so the idea that I am a killer is just pointless. I just want to be close to her, as a friend, a brother whatever she allows me to be. The secret isn't that I love her. It's that I loved her enough to leave her."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Matt she caught me red handed talking to Jeff Jarrett at the NWA offices earlier in the day. That is why I came back here, so I could tell you before she had the chance too. We are brothers man. I didn't want your girlfriend to have to talk to you for me."
"You did what? You left the WWE for the NWA? Why Jeff?"
"They can use me better over there. I mean Matt they are willing to put me in title hunts with Jarrett himself over there. It is a much sweeter deal then having to haul ass as a singles guy after the Hardyz in the WWE. I can't retract our legacy and it will haunt me forever if I stayed there with you."
"This is just un freaking believable. So you didn't come here tonight to take me out, you came here tonight to talk to me?"
He felt bad. There was no other way around it. He had thought his brother to be a cold blooded killer, and here he was just the same scared little boy he had always been. The same timid Jeff he had always known. He hadn't come here to take Kimberley from him, he had come here to make things right again.
"I don't know what to say Jeff. I'm sorry. But what the hell happened in this hotel room tonight?"
"Someone wanted Kimberley dead, and if they took you along for the ride, it didn't matter. I think I know who knocked me out man, and it wasn't Ric."
"Then who was it?" Matt asked, scared to find out who would want him and Kimberley dead.
"Someone closer then we could have thought man. We need to go and get her brother. Before something even deadlier happens."
