I was sitting with everyone waiting for the trial to start. I looked at my watch. There was still five minutes until the trial started. The jury was already in their box.
"Hey." We looked up to see Chavo leaning over. "Where's Eddy?" We all looked around. That was a good question. Where was Eddy?
"He's probably with the DA." Uncle Bret answered.
I looked over at the table where Helmsley, Vince and Stephanie were sitting with their attorneys. They all looked so smug. I can't wait to see their faces when they see Chris. They won't be so smug then.
Michael walked up to us. "You guys know who Trevor George is?" I started to shake my head but stopped. That name sounded familiar. Maybe it was Danny's step-father or brother. Michael continued. "He's Danny's brother. He was just hit by a car. Danny went with him to the hospital. Eddy will be in here in a few minutes."
Oh poor Danny and his brother. I hadn't even seen Danny since we arrived. He said he wanted to sit outside for awhile.
Eddy sat down next to us for a second and said in a very quiet voice, "What you hear today don't talk about it with Danny. It's going to be explained to him and his family later." It must be something big if they don't want Danny to know. I wonder what it is. Eddy got up, walked over, and sat at the table with the DA.
Judge Arspringer came into the room. "Your next witness Mr. Olson." She said once we were all seated.
"Thank you. We would like to call for our next witness Chris Benoit."
"WHAT!" Seemed to be the yell in the courtroom.
The judges hit her gavel several times. "Order! Show Mr. Benoit into the room." She said.
We all watched as Chris entered the room. I looked at the Defense table. Both Hunter and Vince were on their feet. "You are dead! You are supposed to be dead!" Hunter yelled. Cops and agents immediately got in front of Hunter and Vince. Chris was led to the front of the courtroom. The room was pure pandemonium.
Judge Arspringer tapped her gavel several times. Hunter was really trying to get through the police. I was kind of being pushed to the back of the courtroom. "Order!" She yelled. No one was listening. "This trial is at recess for 30 minutes. Everyone but the attorneys are to leave the room!"
Since I was almost at the back of the room it didn't take me long to get out of it. I did see them lead Chris out one door and Triple H and Vince through another. This was bad.
I lost sight of everyone so I went to get a drink of water. There were reporters trying to swarm around everyone. But I was able to get away before they saw me. I found the drinking fountain and took a drink.
I was about to walk to the others when I suddenly noticed Michaels and two other guys also there. I recognized one of them as one of the people who ran down the stairs after they beat Danny up. They didnt' noticce me so I leaned against the wall out of site.
"Hunter blew it." The guy from the hotel said. "He almost attacked Benoit right in the courtroom. We've got to do something."
"But what?" Michaels asked. "You, Peter, and Joanie already attacked Benoit's kid. What else can we do?"
"That's it!" The really tall man said. "We go after the kid. You heard them say he went with his brother to the hospital. No one will be there. He'll be an easy target. Then they'll know to stop messing with us."
They walke away. They never saw me. As soon as they were out of site I ran back to the courtroom looking for the others. I found Chavo. "Where's Eddy?" I asked.
"I'm not really sure. I think he's with Chris somewhere. Why?" He asked suspiciously.
just overheard Shawn Michaels and two others talking about going after Danny at the hospital."
"Shit! Come on!" He said hurrying down the hall. We found Eddy, Chris and Michael standing there. I saw agents keeping the reporters away. "We've got a problem." Chavo said.
"What?" Eddy asked.
"Athena overheard Michaels and two others saying they were going after Danny at the hospital." Chavo explained.
Chris turned bright red. He looked like he was going to explode. He started to run.
Michael grabbed him by the arm. "Chris you can't just go running off. The trial..."
"Hey." We looked up to see Chavo leaning over. "Where's Eddy?" We all looked around. That was a good question. Where was Eddy?
