Chapter 9

Karen flopped down on the hotel bed...damn she was beat. After her Wednesday and Thursday outing with Randy, plus the Friday, Saturday and Sunday house shows...she wasn't really looking forward to Monday Night Raw. It was a good thing she was 2 weeks ahead on the scripts...She'd definitely be taking it easy tonight at the arena.

Wednesday's outing with Randy was absolutely the most fun she'd had in years...He took her to the theme park in Boston. They walked around a little, rode some rides and laughed a lot.

By the time Randy took her home, she was so tired; she'd fallen asleep in his SUV rental. He called Lisa and she unlocked Karen's apartment door as Randy carried the tiny raven haired woman up to the elevator to the 8th floor and then proceeded to carry her back into her bedroom and lay her across her bed.

Karen woke up Thursday with no memory of what had transpired the night before not believing she'd actually fallen asleep for a full night...She also woke up to knocking on her bedroom door, she couldn't imagine who it was, but was pleasantly surprised to see Randy standing there with breakfast and said Lisa had let him in of course after cussing his soul to hell for waking her up.

After breakfast and a quick shower they were off to the park down the street...they sat in the grass all day talking and getting to know each other.

Now it was Monday, Karen was staring at the ceiling...She just couldn't get over how much fun she had with Randy both days. Karen knew it was coming...It was inevitable...She was going to have to tell Randy the real reason she had Insomnia. She wasn't happy about and she was scared to death to tell him.

She knew she'd eventually have to tell him...She just had to figure out when and how. Lisa and Tyson knew...Hell as long as she'd know John; he'd seen her go through the motions of trying to get her life back on track. When she couldn't get everything worked out, that's when the Insomnia kicked in.

Karen flipped open her phone hitting the number 3 on her speed dial and waited as the phone rang...A groggy voice said, "Hello?" Karen said, "John I need you're help." John finally waking up and said, "Karen...What's wrong...Are you ok?" Karen said, "Yea...I'm fine...I've just...Well, I came to a decision."

John said, "Okay and what do you need my help with?" Karen said, "I'm going to tell Randy...Before things get too serious between us...I want him to know...He's always asking me about the Insomnia...I think it's time he heard the whole story...But I want you to be with us when I tell him...Please...I need you're support John...You're my best friend."

John said, "Aight, Calm down kiddo...Smackdown will be in New York tomorrow...Just gimmie you're hotel room number and have Randy there around 11...You need my support and I'll be there, I promise...Don't worry Randy's not a dickhead...He'll take it and respect you...I've known him since OVW...I promise...He won't hurt you."

Karen said, "I know I trust you...You wouldn't have given him my address if you thought he was going to hurt me in any way...I'll get Randy here by 11...and I'll see you tomorrow...Thank you for this John...I really appreciate you helping me out...I don't know if I could do it on my own."

John said, "Any time Honey...I'll see you tomorrow...and Relax...Everything will be fine...I promise...Now can I go back to sleep?" Karen giggled and said, "Sure...See you tomorrow."

They said their good-byes and hung up...She'd have to find Randy at the arena tonight and tell him to meet her the following day. All she could do was hope that everything went well...She was starting to fall for Randy...

Oh yea the Legend Killer had struck again.
