Notes: Back to Danny's POV. You get to know why Eddy sent him to Atlanta ;).
As much as I hated going home to Atlanta I had been enjoying the week home. Athena calls me every day to tell me what's going on. She said Eddy's been more agitated then usual and seemed nervous. And he's usually on the phone or in his office with his door closed. With Uncle Eddy that's not a good thing as we've learned.
It was Sunday. I was still planning to go back tomorrow though Eddy's told me not to go anytime before then. I wonder what's going on? I was in the living room watching a movie. Mom and Jason were out running errands and Trevor was in his room. I had said I'd stay with Tatem or David but mom insisted I stay there. To say it was tense would be an understatement.
The doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Trevor called running to answer it. I just rolled my eyes. A second later he came back. "It's for you."
Strange I wasn't expecting someone to drop by. I got up and walked to the door and looked out the peephole. I was surprised by who was standing there.
I opened the door. "Don't you think it's chancing it?" I let him in.
"Not really. Won't matter by tomorrow anyway. Your mother and stepfather here?"
"Nope. They are out." He was looking at Trevor. "Oh sorry. Shane this is Trevor. Trevor this is Shane. Trevor can you go back into your room? I need to talk to Shane."
"Sure." He hurried out of the room.
We sat down. "What's up?" I asked. "Why are you here instead of Kentucky?"
"It's closer to where I'm going to be tomorrow. You want to know why Eddy told you to go to Atlanta?" I nodded. I had been wondering that for nearly a week. "Vince Russo had come in that day and told him that he's willing to step forward and testify against my father. He gave us a lot of things to use against him. The original plan was for me go on Nitro with it. Using a simulcast. But then later in the week Eddy got a phone call from Eric saying Vince, as in my father, was about to take WCW back from Dustin. Now that brings up a problem. See Vince doesn't realize that Dustin doesn't really own WCW. I still own it. He's running it. So we have to get this thing rolling before Vince finds that out. And Eddy's been talking to Turner and Viacom and there will be one set up. And since you are already down here I thought you could help me with this. Eddy's been in contact with the production team of WCW and they are getting things together for it. Basically I'm taking Nitro back. You in?"
I didn't really have to think about it. I nodded. Would be great to shock Vince with something like that. I couldn't wait till tomorrow.

Shane was invited to dinner that night. I'm not sure if mom was more shocked that he was here or that I knew him. Mom certainly asked him a lot of questions and he answered them as well as he could. But I knew there were questions mom wanted to ask him that she couldn't in front of Trevor.
We waited until Trevor went to sleep before talking. "So how do you two know each other?" Jason asked.
Okay that will be an interesting question to answer. But Shane didn't even pause. "I was the one who got Danny out of Vince's office."
My mother's face is turning a nice shade of red. Yeah this isn't going to be good.
"How'd you know where he was?"
"I got a phone call telling me that Vince had kidnapped him so I went and got him back. That's about it. I came here looking for Danny's help to take Vince down. He won't get away with what he's done."
"Shane I don't want my son anywhere near Vince. And I'm sure you can understand why."
"Yes I can Nancy it's just that I do need someone to help. Vince will be in Oakland we'll be in Daytona Beach. No worries about them running into each other."
"I guess. It's just after what happened to his father..."
"I know." Shane said quietly. "I'll make sure nothing happens."
I didn't say anything and neither did Jason. "Nanc he's eighteen. You can't shelter him anymore." Jason said finally.
"I know. I know. Okay do what you want. I'll stop butting out. But if something does happen..."
"Yeah I know." Shane had a slight smile on his face. "I'll have to leave the country."
There was chuckling. I really hoped tomorrow went well.
