Notes: I want to apologize for the confusion of 92. I didn't think it was confusing I was going for a cliffhanger. First word of this whole chapter answers your questions.
"Mom!" I was surprised to see her standing there. I hadn't thought she'd come back. She had been so mad when she left.
Dad came in. He looked really worried. Not that I blame him. "Nancy I can explain..."
"I'm glad you can explain why our son has a broken nose." Mom would kill us if she knew what had happened. "There was an incided..." Dad started to say.
"An incident? Where?" She demanded. "Here?"
"Yes he was beat up."
"By who? No I can guess. Vince's crew right?" She didn't even wait for us to answer. "I knew him staying here wasn't a good idea. Chris can you honestly say you and Steve are safe here?" Interesting that mom just said dad and Steve. I wonder why she didn't say Owen? Wait a minute, how does she know about Steve Austin? "Mom what do you mean?"
"I mean how can your father and Steve Austin be protected if they attack you? How can you keep unwanted people off this floor?" Oh boy mom if you only know who has been on this floor. "I think it would be best if Daniel stays at my house. We at least have a security alarm."
"I'd feel better if I knew where Danny was at all times." Dad answered. I don't think I will like where this is going. It'll probably lead to another argument. Mom was glaring at dad. And dad was staring right back at her.
"Mom I'm fine here. Don't worry about me." I said hoping to defuse the situation.
Mom spun around to face me. "Don't worry about you? You are sitting here with a broken nose after you were attacked in this hotel and you don't want me to worry about you? Is there anything else I should know about?" I don't think now is a good time to tell her I have a couple of broken ribs. I know how she'd react.
"Look Nancy we have improved security. The only ones allowed onto this floor have to be on a list. There's more agents on this floor then there was before and everyone's been moved to this floor."
"I'm um going to go uh check on David." Megan said making a quick exit. She was smart. I kinda wish I had that option right now.
"I don't' know what to believe Chris. A few weeks ago I found out you were alive. Just now I found out Daniel was beaten up at this hotel. How am I supposed to believe he's safe much less anyone else here."
"What did you mean when you asked about Steve?" I asked. I bet Debra called her but I want to make sure. I mean she left here before we told her about Owen much less Steve.
"Debra called me telling me she just got back from going to her house in San Antonio. She said she had seen you there too Daniel. I think she thought since I knew about Chris I knew about Steve. So I see I'm not the only one you all kept in the dark all these years. Is there anyone else I should know about?"
I looked at dad. I guess now would be a good time to tell her about Owen. But I didn't want to be the one to tell her. But then again I don't think dad wants to tell her either.
"Nancy there is one person. Owen Hart is alive." Dad said rather bluntly. I guess that's the only way to tell someone something like that. Mom sat down in one of the chairs. But she did look quite angry. That is expected. I hope she doesn't slap dad again.
Mom didn't say anything for the longest time. Dad and I didn't say anything. "How could you keep this from me for almost fourteen years?" Mom finally said.
"Nancy we didn't have a choice. I had to stay hidden because we were afraid Vince and Hunter would try again or they would go after you and the kids. I don't know what I would have done if something happened to any of you."
Mom looked at me. I can probably guess what she is thinking. I do feel sorry for my mother. This had all been dropped on her and it was my fault for trying to unite my parents.
"Yeah well I see that's going well." Mom said crossing her arms. "Chris I don't want anything to happen to Daniel. I tried to keep him away from the wrestling world for fourteen years but he wanted to be a wrestler. Have you seen his tattoo?"
That would almost be funny if this was a different situation. My mother hated my tattoo I think mostly because it was a Pegasus.
"Yeah I saw it. I think Levi did a great job on it." Dad said. That reminds me I need to tell Levi somehow.
Mom's eyes flashed with anger. "Well I don't. Daniel was only sixteen at the time." She sighed. "I was here for a reason. We need to make this divorce finalized. Who do I need to talk to?"
"I think Erichson would know the best way to handle this. Let me show you where..."
"Don't show me anything Chris. I want to talk to Daniel first. Alone." She added.
Dad shrugged and left the room. Mom turned her attention back to me. "Is this the room you now have?"
"No this one is Uncle Eddy's. I share with dad." I wonder why she asked.
She nodded. "I think you need to go to your room and pack. You aren't safe here. I don't know why anyone seems to think you are. You've been beaten up in your own hotel room. You will be much safer at home. We have a security alarm.
"But mom I don't want to go home. I want to be here with the others. One incident doesn't mean anything. They've beefed up security!" I was not going to tell her about HBK and Uncle Dean and Uncle Perry breaking in. That wouldn't help this argument.
"That's nice Daniel, but I'd feel better if I knew you truly were safe and I don't think you are safe here. You can't honestly say you are." She looked at me as if challenging me to disagree. I gulped. She was right but I couldn't admit it to her. "I thought so."
"Mom I really want to stay here. The trial is starting soon and I want to be with everyone. This floor is covered with FBI agents. No one's getting up here without their clearance. Trust me!"
She sighed. "Daniel I'm worried about your safety. I'd hate to think something could happen to you at this hotel but something could. It already has."
"Mom I know but I really think I should stay here." Boy this conversation was going in circles. I was hoping she'd back down like she did when I argued with her about becoming a wrestler. She eventually realized I was eighteen and more then capable of making my own decisions. I was hoping she'd do that today.
"Okay Daniel. I guess I can't change your mind." I was in luck! "Just be really careful. Now can you show me to this Agent Erichson?"
"Follow me." I said even though I really didn't know where he was. I think we take up every room on the floor. I heard the hotel had cleared the whole floor for us, which I was glad for. With all the yelling that takes place it's a good thing. We certainly don't want to raise suspicion.
I decided to try the common room hoping Bischoff wasn't there. I looked in the room first and found Erichson talking to his wife. There were others in the room but no Bischoff. I walked over to Erichson. "My mom wants to talk to you about getting finalizing the divorce." I signaled for mom to come in.
Tammy got out of her seat so mom could sit down.
I wasn't happy with the decision but I knew there was no other options.
"Mom!" I was surprised to see her standing there. I hadn't thought she'd come back. She had been so mad when she left.
