Athena's POV and written by Dana
I entered the hotel room that Chris and Eddy share. I'm not too sure where Eddy, Danny, and Eric went because they didn't say anything. Eric didn't' even leave the plane when we landed at an airfield in Atlanta. Eddy just handed me the keys to a car.
Mom, Oje, and Aunt Julie came to Atlanta with us. I was glad mom and Oje came but I wasn't surprised. Mom didn't want dad out of her sight. I was also glad my parents were so in love. I know that sounds weird but I do. I love this.
I looked around the room and noticed no one was in the room. I wonder where everyone was. It's not like 'dead' people can wander around the hotel. Then again there are several connecting rooms. The door opened and Erichson came in. He looked pissed.
"Where is everyone?" He asked. I shrugged. He opened the connecting door. My curiosity was sparked so I followed him. We did find the others in a different room. "The DA just called me and we have a problem. The trial has been moved up a day. Jury selection starts tomorrow. I have tried to change it but it's a no go."
"Do you know when Eric, Danny, and Eddy are supposed to be back?" Chris asked.
"I think Eddy said later tonight. Chase is getting things ready to go." Erichson said. The name Chase sounded familiar. I again wondered what they were talking about. They are always so secretive about things. I wish for once they'd give a straight answer, but dad and Chris seemed to know what Erichson is talking about.
"You want me to call Eddy and tell him?" Dad asked. "If they know they might hurry back faster."
"Good idea." Erichson handed him a cell phone. Dad walked away probably for a private conversation. Mom looked like she was about to follow him but Uncle Bret stopped her.
Dad was gone for a while. When he came back in, I wasn't sure what the look on his face meant. "It doesn't look like they'll be back tonight. They ran into a problem."
Megan, who hadn't said much, looked up quickly. "Are they okay?"
"They are fine. They just have something to take care of." He gave Chris, Shane, Erichson, and Tammy, a look that probably said he'd explain later.
"Maybe if we are lucky the jury selection will take more then a day or the judge will let us postpone it." Tammy suggested.
This is getting weird. What was holding them up? I wondered.
The next day, all of us went to the courthouse. Well everyone except dad, Chris, and a few agents. Eddy, Eric, and Danny still weren't back yet. I wonder where they are. No one is saying anything.
Chavo called Eddy and found out they are still dealing with the problem and they'd be back as soon as they could. But from what Chavo told us, Eddy hadn't said anything else.
Vince and Stephanie McMahon are sitting next to their lawyer not looking worried at all. That's probably because they think we have no evidence to nail them of their crimes. Wait till they see dad and Chris. That will be something not to miss.
I was sitting behind the District Attorney's table between my mother, and Uncle Bret. Oje was on the other side of me. The lawyer was having a quick conversation with Chavo who just shook his head a lot. They weren't close enough for me to hear them. But I'd guess they were talking about Eddy, Danny, and Eric not being back yet.
Matt rolled up to us with Amy and Megan.
"Any word?" Megan asked. We shook our head. "Damn it's almost 9!"
"Excuse me." An officer came up to us. "You'll have to leave during the jury selection."
We got up and left the courtroom. I watched the jury walk into the room. I listened carefully at the door. They were now listing the people so far scheduled to testify. I wish I had been in the room when I heard the DA say Chris Benoit and Owen Hart.
I heard Eric's name called and then Eddy's, and then two names I'd never heard before. Who were Mark Calloway and Shane Douglas?
I turned to look at Uncle Bret. "Who's Mark Calloway and Shane Douglas?"
"What?" Ric asked turning to face Tammy.
"They'll be here soon too." She explained. "We'll explain that later."
I shrugged. That didn't answer my question and Ric, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn looked really angry.
There were many names listed. Including mine, Shane's, Danny's, Cameron, and a lot of people I'd never heard of. And I missed a few of the names. But I hadn't had the time to ask anyone as I heard the DA ask, "Your honor some of our key witnesses are in Texas so we are asking that the trial not start till tomorrow. That is if the jury selection is finished today." District Attorney said.
"Mr. Roberts do you have a problem with that?" He asked.
"No your honor."
They were in Texas? What was so important in Texas?
