Chapter 14
David had been at the arena for about 30 minutes and was sitting in Evolution's dressing room talking to Ric, Randy and Paul...Paul said, "Hey man, have you gone down to see Rachel yet?" David said, "No...I was going to surprise her." Randy said, "She'll be surprised alright...She's been missing you like crazy man."
Ric chimed in with, "Yeah, and at least now you can take care of Callaway, once and for all." David's head snapped around and through clenched teeth he said, "Callaway? What the hell happened?"
Paul said, "Now don't lose your cool big man...Callaway has been messing with her since you've been gone...Making sure to knock her down in the hallways on purpose and she confronted him a month ago and in front of every one told him he was an asshole."
Randy said, "He wasn't exactly thrilled that she embarrassed him like that...but he took it and walked away...This morning he practically screamed the head off of one of the kids who helps set up the ring."
David stood up to his full 6'5" 318 lbs...And rolled his shoulders and clenched and unclenched his fists, as his veins started to slowly emerge from under his skin. David said, "I'm gonna go check on Rachel...I told that lousy mother fucker to stay away from her...I swear I'll kill him."
Randy, Paul and Ric were hot on Dave's heels as they rounded the corner and heard cussing galore coming from the massage therapy room. David looked in and saw Mark on his knees behind the exam table and could only imagine that he was kneeing over Rachel...Mark pulled back his fist and before he could even delivery the punch...
David growled ferociously and ran across the room and jumped over and cleared the exam table as he wrapped his big arms around Mark and took him down to the concrete floor where he purposely smashed Mark's head into the concrete as hard as he could and completely knocked him out.
Paul, Randy and Ric came flying into the room and saw David getting up off Mark's prone body and he turned around and said, "You get this piece of shit out of here..." Paul and Ric grabbed Mark's booted feet and drug him out and into the hallway.
David said, "Rach? Rachel where are you baby?" Rachel could have sworn she heard someone who sounded like David...but couldn't be sure because of the thudding in her ears...and the pain radiating in her toes...and in a weak voice said, "David."
David heard the voice as Randy grabbed the exam table and pulled it away from the wall and David was nearly sick. The back of Rachel's head was bleeding and her big toe was turning purple. David dropped to his knees next to her and caressed her face...She opened her eyes a little and said, "David..."
David could feel his heart hurt and wasn't sure what to do first...Beat the living hell out of Mark Callaway, or pray Rachel would be okay.
David leaned down and said, "It's gonna be okay baby, I promise...Put you're arms around my neck." Rachel slowly moved around and wrapped her arms around his thick muscled neck as he gently scooted his arms under her small framed body and scoped her up off the concrete floor...She snuggled against his body with her head laying on David's shoulder.
David rolled back into a squat and carefully stood up trying not to jar her body and cause her more pain then she needed to be in.
David turned and Paul pulled his rental keys out of his pocket as David said, "You drive, Randy run down and get my bag, well wait for you in the car." Randy nodded and took off as fast as he could, as David carefully got into the rental and had Rachel on his lap.
David could hear Rachel had the sniffles from crying...and was rubbing her side trying to calm her down because he knew the more she cried and got upset the more her head would hurt. Rachel kept her head on Dave's shoulder cause she could some what hear his heart beating...It was going crazy, she knew he was worried about her. Rachel said, "It hurt's...It hurts so badly." David said, "I know baby...I'm sorry, I wasn't there to stop him."
