"What? You work for Vince!" I couldn't believe it. Now I'm being kidnapped by Vince's assistants?
"Technically. I'm sort of undercover. I'm keeping an eye on Vince. If I hadn't found out what Vince had planned for your father fourteen years ago, he wouldn't be alive. I overheard Stephanie and Hunter plotting it all out. I've been working with Erichson since 2001 when I found the Owen tape. Russo had left it out. I watched it thinking that it was something else. We were able to bargain with Goldberg to get him to make it look real and he'd only be charged with involuntary manslaughter."
I sat on the floor taking that all in. I'd always presumed Goldberg had intentionally done it and that it was luck that my dad had survived. Vince hadn't plotted that? Oh God! Megan! "My sister..."
"Look Danny I know you want to help your sister but you can't tell her what I just told you. You'll blow everyone's cover. I'm sure she'll be fine. Hunter and Stephanie do seem to like her."
I stare blankly at him for a second. "Great that's a real relief." I said sarcastically. I guess I should be glad they aren't using her or something.
"I'm telling you this because everyone's main concern is you and Athena. Not that Vince has said anything about going after you two or anything but you need to stop asking questions."
The door opened. "Eric what the hell are you doing?"
Thankfully, it was Eddy and not Vince.
"Just talking to Danny and telling him what he needs to know."
Eddy sighed. "Eric you really shouldn't of. We've got other problems to deal with."
"It's to help him Eddy. If he keeps asking he's going to get us all in trouble." Eric fired back.
"Eric stop meddling. Wasn't sending him the videos enough? Just go back to watching Vince. We've got everything under control." Whoa Eric sent me the tapes?
"Yeah right Eddy. Then explain Vince kidnapping Danny if you have everything under control."
"Chad has been taken care of. And you said already Vince has no clue about anything."
"But his son showing up after 10 years does make him suspicious Guerrero!"
It was like watching a ping pong game listening to those two argue. I could see they didn't like each other, which made things even more interesting. And now I knew who sent the videos. Things still didn't make sense to me.
"How did you know I was here anyway?"
"No one had seen Danny come back from my office and I found this door locked. Had no idea it was you. You are starting to act like Vince you know that?"
"Don't even go there! I'm nothing like Vince and you know it."
"Sure whatever. Look I have enough problems. I got a phone call from Vince telling me whom they are sending here as guest trainer. You could have warned me!"
"I was planning to. Didn't know Vince got a hold of you that soon. You have to..."
"I am not letting him in this building let alone train! And there's two very good reasons why."
"I know that but Vince is already suspicious..."
"Let him be! He knows I won't stand for Helmsley training. I told him when they started this guest trainer thing. There is no way in hell he's going to be here. And that's final."
"Well there's still a few days before the new guest trainer starts but Eddy you need to think about this. If you tell Vince no he'll try something else. Maybe you can get him to send another trainer to. Someone you pick. He might go for that."
I just sat there listening. I had to agree with Uncle Eddy. Triple H shouldn't be allowed to be guest trainer. But then again I'd love to punch that SOB. Probably another reason why Eddy doesn't want him here.
"I'll try to talk Vince into sending someone else but prepare for Triple H. I can't guarantee he'll listen to me." Eric left.
Eddy turned to look at me. "We need to talk about your recent actions."
Dang I'd hoped I could get past that.
"What have you been thinking Danny?" Eddy asked. "Kemper and sneaking your father into the arena? Do you want everyone to get caught or something? Because if you do you're doing a good job."
"My father wanted to come to the show. And I was curious about WWF and that's why I went to RAW. There were questions I had and hoped I'd get them by being there. I didn't think Helmsley would spot me."
"Eddy!" Someone was calling from the hallway.
Eddy got up and stuck his head out the door. "Yeah?"
"Ven injured her leg."
"I'll be right out." He closed the door. "We'll talk later. And Danny? If Hunter does come here next week you and Athena are not going to be here. He'll bring Stephanie and I don't need you four fighting." He started muttering some curses in Spanish before leaving the room.
I waited a couple minutes before leaving.
