Here's the new chapter of......Broken Wheels

Ric, Chris, and JJ Dillon sat in Dr. Harvey Schiller's office. It had taken them several days to get an appointment with the President of Turner Sports. In the span of a few days Eddy Guerrero was sent to Japan, and Bischoff still had no clue that Modest and Daniels were under masks. Thunder was that night.

"What brings you three here?" Schiller asked.

"We are here to discuss two firings." Dillon said. "Neither were just firings."

"I have been looking into this JJ. And I have found I must disagree with you. One of the firings was not unjust. Mr. Flair did miss shows. That is reason for firing in any company."

"But I asked for the time off." Ric interjected. "I went to an amateur wrestling competition my youngest son was competing in. When I came back Bischoff pretended not to know a thing about it."

"I have no evidence here in the folders of that Ric. But there is some good news. I have looked into Chris' firing and I can overturn his firing. As of," he glanced at his watch, "8:53 AM Chris Benoit is no longer fired." He made a note on a piece of paper. And then signed it.

"Thank you." Chris said feeling bad for Ric. "But what about Ric?"

"I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it. I will investigate further into this. Until then nothing has changed Ric." Schiller said. He handed Chris the paper he had just signed. "In case Bischoff gives you any trouble. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yes actually is there anyway you can rehire Nancy?"

He smiled. "That I think I can do." He filled out something else. "Have Nancy sign this. We can work out the actual numbers later."

"Thank you." Chris said taking it.

"Is there anything else?" They shook their heads. "Sorry I couldn't help more."

They left the office. "So now what?" Chris asked.

"Now we get you to Thunder. And we think of how to get Ric rehired. I believe Harvey when he says there's nothing he can do. He's a fair man and will tell you point blank. And if he says he's going to investigate further into it he will. So we can't give up on that."

They drove to the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport where they had already purchased Chris' ticket. Nancy took the second ticket, which was supposed to be Ric's. They took the plane to Thunder wondering how Bischoff would take this information.

Chris and Nancy hadn't realized it would be so easy to walk into the arena. Dillon had gone in ahead of them. Had Schiller told Bischoff? Chris hoped not. It would ruin the surprise. And they knew he would be pissed.

"Chris you can't be here!" Doug Dillinger called hurrying over to them. That gave them their answer.

"Actually I can." He handed him the two pieces of paper.

Doug read them and smiled. "Okay. The rest of the Horsemen are in the third locker room."

"Thanks Doug." Chris said. They walked into the locker room.

"Hey how'd it go?" Mongo asked as soon as he saw them.

"We are both rehired employees. But Schiller couldn't rehire Ric yet. Said there was a just reason for him being fired. But he said he's looking into it." Chris said.

"Cool." Daniels said. "Hey do I have to go out in a mask anymore? I mean if I'm posing as you posing as a masked guy won't that kind of give things away?"

"I..." Arn started to say but the door was slammed open.

Bischoff came in. There goes that idea. Chris thought. "I was just informed that Schiller rehired you." Eric yelled. "He can't do that!"

"He can and he did." Chris said handing over the papers.

Eric read it and his face started to get very red. "You may be rehired but that doesn't mean Flair ever will be. And since you want to be here so bad I'll help you out. You've got a match tonight! Against Dean Malenko!"

"But I'm not cleared." Chris said but he knew that Eric didn't care.

"I don't give a damn! You are wrestling tonight." He stormed out of the locker room.

Chris sank down in the chair. There was no way he could wrestle Dean tonight. His elbow wouldn't last.
