Chapter 2 – Fire and Ice

Jackie Gayda was making her way down towards the locker room she shared with Rico, her golden brown locks glittering in the bright spotlights that surrounded her. The camera was off her at the moment. Upon reaching the locker room, she was somewhat surprised that Rico was packing his things.

"Rico, the show's just started... Where are you going?" she asked, her voice aching with concern, her brows furrowing slightly. Rico turned to her, the only trace of makeup remaining being a little mascara and eyeliner.

"Jackie," he started, "I've been fired. Mr McMahon's orders."

"WHAT?!?" Jackie said loudly, "But—Rico… Why?"

"The show's apparently low on funds, so he had to lay off an employee or two." Rico said sadly. "I guess all that's left for me now is to go back to my hometown at Vegas. I called the Casino, they're letting me back on for my job as a security guard."

"But this is ridiculous!" Jackie said, her eyes glistening. "You can't leave, you're all that I have left!"

Rico put his arms around Jackie in a farewell hug. "Am I, Jackie? I saw the way you looked at Heidenreich last week." He whispered in her ear. "You will see me again."

And without another word, he was walking away. Jackie was stunned by what he had said. Letting out a deep sigh, she turned and sat down in her locker room. Her private locker room, now that Rico had gone. Running a hand through her slightly curly locks, she held her head in her hands, her elbows on her knees, sitting down on the bench. Tears fell onto the concrete floor below her, as she remembered all the good times she had had with her companion Rico. The one who made Jackie Gayda a household name.

…

"What the hell were you thinking last week, Jon?" Paul Heyman yelled in the ear of his client. "I'm surprised that we weren't both FIRED! Theodore Long's got me on a strike-two basis! If another stunt like this occurs then I will be fired!"

That'd be a lot easier for me then, wouldn't it, Paul? Jon Heidenreich thought darkly, his icy blue eyes penetrating the gravel-coloured floor of the dark office of Paul Heyman.

"And what the hell was going on with that Jackie sl—" Paul choked as Heidenreich stood up, looking angrier than Paul had ever seen him.

"I have had to put up with your bullshit for months on end, Paul," Heidenreich said in a deadly voice. "No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. They wonder why I'm so fucking nuts. I've had just about enough of your shit, PAUL! GET OUT!"

And Heidenreich kicked open the door with massive impact, a huge crash resounding, making the floor vibrate. Paul Heyman looked bewildered. No one had ever dared… Except maybe Brock, but that was different… Paul, being the manipulative weasel he was, then gained his control, and smirked somewhat at Heidenreich.

"OK, then, Jon, I'm going. I'll quit. Nothing's left for me in this business, anyway. But where will you go from here? You need a manager. You need me." Paul narrowed his eyes, grinning malevolently. Heidenreich stiffened. He did need a manager, yes.

As he pushed Paul out of the office and put the door back on its hinges, he began to think more seriously about the events of last week.

…

Jackie was walking down the hallway, on the way to the General Manager's Office, Mr Theodore Long. She opened the door, and took a seat.

"Glad you could join me, Jackie," Theodore said in his brisk American accent. "And I think Jon's on his way too."

Jackie tensed slightly. Could he mean…

Heidenreich opened the door quietly, looking less emotionally disturbed than he usually did. Jackie pondered this briefly, before realizing that Paul Heyman wasn't with him.

Their eyes met. Jackie found herself drowning in the deep icy blue waters of endless misery and emotion. She heard Theodore Long talking to her, and quickly turned away, her ears going a little pink.

"Now Jackie, you're probably wondering why I've brought Jon here as well," Jackie nodded. She had a sick feeling in her stomach. Were they going to be fired because of their hazardous display last week? But all thoughts of being fired were quashed at his next remark. "Well, just recently Paul Heyman resigned as Jon's client."

Could that be why Heidenreich looked less… unstable? Was it always because of Paul Heyman that Heidenreich had so much anguish, so much distress in the shadows that plagued his mind? Jackie felt an odd feeling for the blonde monster. Could it be… pity?

"And I understand that Rico was fired about half an hour ago," Theodore Long continued. As Jon stood by the door, he found his gaze lingering upon the thoughtful Jackie. He had sensed something missing from her when he looked into those penetrating chocolate orbs. Rico. The makeup wearing Las Vegas fruit-cake. Her 'Manager'.

"And after seeing the events of last week, I have made a decision. Miss Jackie… And Heidenreich. Managers of each other."

Jackie's eyes bulged. Heidenreich was to be her Manager? And she was to be his? She felt his eyes on her and felt like she was in a spotlight in the dark, felt like he was seeing right through her. Before she found out Charlie was cheating on her she would have walked right out of the door, yelling that the General Manager was crazy. But as she looked up at him once more, she found herself thinking otherwise.

"Now you better believe that, Holla Holla!" Theodore Long said, before his cellphone rang, motioning the end of the meeting. Jackie slowly stood up, shaken. Heidenreich felt as though he had been hit by a truck. Different thoughts plagued his mind at once. But as he found himself looking into the eyes of Miss Jackie once more, the darkness that plagued his mind ebbed away. Holding out his strong hand towards her, he almost shivered as he felt her silky skin hand against his. They both walked out, towards the locker room of Heidenreich whilst Fate planned their destiny.
