Notes: at the rate this fic is going things are going to get very interesting in the next 3 chapters. Actually, things really start to pick up next chapter. I, Dana, am dedicating this chapter to my cousin who died this morning in a car accident.
Uncle Bret and I arrived at OVW separately to not raise suspicion. We didn't want people to know we were related. But as I opened the door I was almost knocked down by someone leaving the building. It took me a second to realize who it was as he stormed away.
"Danny? Where are you going?" I asked hurrying to catch up with him.
He stopped and turned around. "Atlanta. Eddy said it would be best if I went down there. Wouldn't say why just said something's come up and I was better off not being in Kentucky."
Whoa I wonder if that meant Triple H was here after all. "So you are going?"
"Yeah might as well. I know that if I went you know that I'd be sent away. I'll see you next week." He walked away.
When I walked into OVW I walked to Eddy's office to find out what was going on. There was someone that I didn't know sitting in his office. For some strange reason he looked slightly familiar. Eddy saw me standing in the doorway and signaled me to go. I did so. I went to the women's locker room and changed. When I went into the main room I realized things were about to get interesting.
My Uncle Bret and Shawn Michaels were staring at each other. Okay where's Chavo and D-Lo? Shouldn't they be in here?
I locked eyes with Cam who shrugged. I knew I couldn't try to do something. But I guess that as long as they don't start fighting it's all right. But if looks could kill they'd both be dead.
"Okay guys break it up!" D-Lo called coming in. "Bret, Shawn we've got to start. Leave that for later. Eddy's got some stuff to clear up in his office and has asked me to get this started. First a couple of announcements. You might have noticed there are a few people missing today. First Joseph Adams has been accepted into a Japan Dojo. And Peter Patterson has gotten a WWE contract." There was applause. "Now to introduce your guest trainer and advisor this week." I thought it was strange he just sort of skipped over the fact that Danny wasn't here. Probably no excuse that would work. "He's been world champ many times. In fact he's held nearly all of the titles in WWE. He still works in WWE as an agent and you know his son Cam. Michael Hickenbottom AKA Shawn Michaels." He paused as Shawn sort of nodded. Then he turned to my Uncle. "The advisor has also held nearly all of the titles in both WCW and WWE. He was the third Triple Crown champion in the WWE. Bret Hart!" You know something? D-Lo would have made a great ring announcer. "Shawn you want to start?"
"Sure."
I was about to listen to Shawn when I heard "Sierra I need to talk to you for a second." Eddy was standing at the doorway.
Oh great I'm going to be sent somewhere too. I thought as I walked over to Eddy. Instead of going into his office we went outside. I started right away. "If I'm being asked to spend the week somewhere else I want to know why."
"Go somewhere else? Oh you talked to Danny. No you don't have to go somewhere else I just need you to do me a favor. Avoid Cam this week."
Great I'm getting it from Eddy too. What has everyone so jumpy about Cam? "Why is everyone so against Cam? He's never done anything to make anyone suspicious. Is that why you sent Danny to Atlanta?"
He looked around quickly before answering me. "No that's not why Danny's in Atlanta. We are putting something together and that would be the best place for him to be. As for Cam you are right. It's not exactly Cam we are worried about."
Oh. I wonder why I'm not being told what's going on. Course the way Danny stormed out I don't think he was told anything either. Why did they think we shouldn't be told? I am so tired of this! We were a part of this after all. We had a right to know!
Before I had a chance to say any of that, he had started speaking again. "We better go in and make sure Bret and Shawn haven't killed each other yet." He held the door open for me.
When we walked in, we noticed Shawn was still talking. Uncle Bret was looking like he was trying not to show boredom and Shawn seemed to notice this because he was glaring at Bret. This was going to be a long week. I thought again with a sigh.
I stood next to a few OVW wrestlers but still not far away from Cam. I don't care what Eddy and Uncle Bret say. Cam's not a bad guy. Not everyone's like his or her father. Shane McMahon certainly proved that.
When Shawn was done giving a history of himself Eddy started talking. "Thank you Shawn. Bret you want to say something now?"
Bret nodded. "I'm just here as sort of an advisor. I won't be getting in the ring with you but I can give you all pointers." He looked at Shawn before continuing. "This week should be interesting and I hope you learn something."

I was relieved when it ended for the day. I was amazed that Uncle Bret and Shawn Michaels didn't come to blows. Not saying they got along but they both kept their cool. The tension could have been cut with a knife. Oh well it's only the first day. Who knows what will happen by Friday?
As I was exiting OVW I saw Cam waiting for me. Or he could have been waiting for his dad.
"Hey Sierra wait up!" Cam called. I stopped. He hurried over. "Dad knows who you are. I didn't tell him Stephanie did. So be careful okay?"
Things were starting to make a little sense. Eddy probably knew that. But I trust Cam. I wonder why I'm supposed to avoid him though.
