Just a little background on this story. The story title comes from a quote from the movie about John F Kennedy Jr. The line is: "You're your father's son". Also if you wonder why I have made the kliq a part of it but kept Louie Spicolli out of it there's a good reason. The first is I don't believe in speaking ill of the dead. The second is I know he was a good man. ---Dana

This is ALL Dana's fault. But it does answer some questions. - Jules

Not Very Good at Hide and Seek

I was crammed into the back of the car with Everett and dad. Megan's sitting up front with Eddy and Michael who's driving. Actually Uncle Eddy's on the pone with I'm not sure and he sounded agitated. I looked out the window. Where were we going? It certainly wasn't the way back to the hotel. Dad didn't seem worried though I was under the impression we were going back to the hotel. They did say it had calmed down there didn't they?

"Hey dad? Where are we going?" Megan asked turning around to face us. I was glad she was the one to ask that.

"I'm not sure. Michael where are we going?" Okay that worried me. Dad didn't know where we were going? What's going on here?

"We are waiting for a phone call to see where everyone's at." Michael answered turning the car left. I was not relieved at all.

"What do you mean no one's there?" Uncle Eddy practically yelled. Okay that didn't sound good at all. "Owen don't worry we'll be there as soon as we hear from the others. Michael, Chris, Everett, Danny, Megan, and me. They went with Tammy. Michael's idea. You hear about Athena? Uh huh. I better go in case they are calling us." Eddy hung up didn't put t he phone away.

"Eddy what's going on?" Megan asked. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."

"As you know things got crazy after Steve took the stand. Michael thought it would be best to split everyone up. That's why we sent you two to Nancy's. Tammy, Shane, and Marissa went in another car. And then Steve, Debra, Mark, and an agent went in a different one. Owen's freaking out at the hotel because no one has come back yet. We are waiting for the others to check in before we go back to the hotel."

I sighed. This could be a long wait. I kinda wish we had waited at moms but for obvious reasons we didn't.

"Hey dad." I asked figuring we had time to talk. "What does the necklace you gave me mean?"

"I guess I should have told you right away. I was surprised Eddy didn't know that Dean knew what it meant. He was a part of the group. WCW decided to split up the Four Horsemen. Brian and I were going to start our own group and call it the Rogue Horsemen. The group was to include Dean and Darren Matthews who wrestled as Steve and later William Regal. Brian and I were sort of put in charge of coming up with the symbol of the group. It was going to be on our tights and stuff. Brian came up with the necklace. I think he got the idea from when he and Steve Austin were a tag team called the Hollywood Blonds. They had a gold necklace that they wore on camera but then they split the team up. Steve wore the necklace on TV after Brian died."

He sighed. "But back to your necklace. Brian and I were the only ones who had it by the time Dave Sullivan got Brian out of WCW. I'm not quite sure why I had it in my bag in Atlanta. Maybe I did it out of fear I don't remember. But I was glad that Eddy took it for me."

"I wanted to grab something that I didn't think anyone would notice if it was gone. Didn't think Nancy would look for it. I forgot all about it until Dean saw you wearing it at the show. And then Dean saw Danny wearing it in my office. I should have known Dean would know what it was."

"I didn't even realize Dean saw me wearing it that night. I wore it so much I forget that I am." He sighed. "Who would have thought giving that to you would set a few things off. To me it was like Tommy giving me his boots. It was in a way handing down tradition."

Eddy's phone rang. "Hello? Oh. Hi Mr. Olsen" I could tell we were all disappointed. "A heart attack? And I thought you had to have a heart to have a heart attack. Yeah I figured. Well thanks for the news." He hung up. "That was the District Attorney. He had just gotten a phone call from the hospital Jarrett was taken to. He did have a heart attack. He won't be able to testify until he's out of the hospital. But the DA thinks that his reaction today spoke volumes. Doctors say he's not going to die and that it was just a minor one."

"He deserved worse." Dad said in a low cold voice. It was kind of scary. Though I had to agree. He helped try to kill Steve.

I saw Uncle Eddy give a small nod. Michael didn't say a word. Megan had a thoughtful look on her face and Everett was staring out the window.

The phone rang again. "Hello? Hi Kaley. No I'm just waiting for a phone call. Yeah Vicky and I plan to see you after the trial is over. I miss you too. Love you too. Bye." I know he had been talking to his youngest daughter. I wonder if she had known what her dad had been hiding. I had a feeling his other daughters did. "Michael let's go to Emory Hospital."

I saw Michael's face contort in what was probably confusion. "I don't know Eddy…"

"I think we are attracting more attention by driving in circles. Let's find somewhere to wait." He probably did have a point.

Michael sighed as he turned the car back the other way.

"Why don't we just go back to the hotel?" Megan asked. That was a good question.

No one answered. Either they were not telling us everything or it never occurred to them. I really hope it's the latter.

Michael dropped everyone off at the entrance to the hospital. We walked through the door. "Bret said she's in room 139." Uncle Eddy said as we walked down the hall.

Something caught my or rather someone. I was glad to see Uncle Eddy started to lead us quickly in another direction. I looked behind us and realized it wasn't quick enough. Well I think dad would be hard to miss.

"Eddy wait a second we are going the wrong way." Man my dad can be clueless sometimes.

"We are?" Eddy said pretending to just notice. "You know how all hospital corridors look the same."

Oh well we are too late to avoid this confrontation. I guess the only thing we can do is hope he doesn't kill him. I watched wearily as he came up to us.

"You are Chris Benoit right?" He asked. Man oh man I don't think I want to see this.

"Yes. You are?"

"Cameron Hickenbottom." The color drained from dad's face. I had never told him about my conversation with Cam. But Eddy seemed to have known. Did Everett tell him? I'm beginning to think he did.

"I'm kind of glad I ran into you. I'm friends with your son." Interesting. The way he acted yesterday you wouldn't have known."

Megan nudged me. I turned to her. "Shawn's son right?" She whispered. I nodded. There was a weird expression on her face. I made a mental note to ask her about it later.

"So you are the one who ruined my family's lives."

Dad took a step back as if he had been hit. "Excuse me?"

"My dad was arrested for attempted murder. But my dad would never do something like that. My dad is a loving man."

"Cameron." My dad started gently. "I was there when Danny was almost shot. I heard the message Brian Pillman left Steve Borden. I've heard other things he's confessed to. I know it must be hard to accept all of this but it's true. None of us would make something like this up. "I wish I could tell you it wasn't true but I can't."

Wow dad's taking this quite well. Though I don't think Cam will be convinced. It would be great if he were though.

"But my dad wouldn't do it!" Cam pleaded. "My dad didn't even know who Danny was." He stopped his face clouded. "He…he…" This looks like a good sign. But he just shook his head.

I had forgotten that Cam said he had overheard his dad talking about the attack before it happened. I think he's starting to realize things don't quite add up. He sat down on the floor in what could only be from shock.

I went up to him. "Cam it's all true."

"I swear my dad wouldn't kill anyone! He's not that way." He stared at something on the wall obviously not wanting to look at us. Dad looked uncomfortable. Not that I blame him. I'm sure he wasn't expecting to run into Cam at the hospital. None of us were.

"Wait a minute." Eddy said. He hadn't said anything at all during this. "Cam did you call Danny from your house when you called him?"

"Well the first time. The other time I was at my hotel why?"

"Damn it all. Why didn't we think of that?" Eddy asked. "Danny your cellphone was traced." He quickly explained to me. That really was the trouble with phones now. Anyone could trace any phone. That did explain a lot but how did they know I was staying at that hotel to begin with? I certainly hadn't called anyone at the Hickenbottom's with my phone.

Cam was looking at us with a wide-eyed expression. "No wonder Shawna came out of the den with a tape." He had tears in his eyes. "It's my fault."

"Cam it's not your fault!" Dad said. "You had no way of knowing they were tracing calls that went to and from your house. Maybe they thought you would call Danny. None of us thought of it even after your dad showed up at our hotel."

"My dad swore he didn't know you." Cam said turning to me. "But he talked to Sean on the phone about you. I never even thought anything of it. I'm an idiot."

"No Cameron you aren't an idiot. You had no way of knowing what your dad had done." Dad was probably the best choice for this conversation. "I wouldn't have known if it hadn't happened to me."

"It just feels like things have gone badly ever since me, Danny, and Athena were all at Kemper." I felt like shrinking and hiding in the corner. Athena and I had never mentioned to anyone that she had also been at Kemper. Since it had been my idea I didn't want her to get in trouble. Dad and Uncle Eddy are both giving me a look. I looked down. "I saw them both leave quickly and then Hunter and Stephanie asked me if I knew Danny. I didn't know why they wanted to know."

Megan was staring at Cam. I have to remember to ask her what that was all about. I'm guessing she probably saw him at RAW but wouldn't she have known who it was? Hell I don't know anymore.

Cam walked past us but stopped and turned around. "Mr. Benoit I'm sorry about what I said about you ruining our family. I know it was dad who did it himself." He walked slowly back the way he came.

"Once Athena's up to it we are going to have a talk about how stupid going to Kemper was." Uncle Eddy said as we walked the correct way to Athena's room. That was a conversation I wasn't looking forward to having.

I turned to Megan. "How do you know Cam?" I asked.

She blushed. "The Helmsleys had talked about setting us up on a date. They said they heard Cameron had been dating some girl in OVW and his parents weren't one bit happy."

And they hadn't even known it was Athena! "Don't tell Athena that." I said with a grin. Megan smiled obviously understanding.

"I swear you guys must be the worst hide and go seek players I have ever seen." I grinned as I turned around to see Debra, Mark, Steve, and an agent standing there looking at us. You know what? He had a point.
