John gave them the thumbs up and Randy pulled the woman behind him. She looked terrified to say the least. She was wearing one of Randys Evolution shirts and a pair of Johns track pants. She looked around the lobby as he pulled her along behind him. John then walked through casually and then walked into the elavator, the other two took the steps after seeing Vince and Stone Cold in the elavator. They ran up the steps ans to Randys room where they dodged in just before the elavator doors opened. He closed the door as quietly as he could then moved away. He was moving toward her a look of concern on his face when there was a knock on his door. He pushed her into the bathroom gentle and walked to the door. He ruffled his hair and put a sleepy look on. "Yeah." He said when he saw who it was. "Just doing the rounds." Vince said then moved on. John gave him once over then smiled. "I told them that had probably crashed all ready." He said and Randy smiled. John left the doorway and Randy turned around to see the young woman dressed in her ripped clothes with their clothes folded neatly in her hand. "I'm sorry for the intrusion." She said and held the clothes out to him. She didn't have a bra so he could see her nipples through the ripped material. Her skirt was so ripped it left nothing to the imagination. "You know what, go put those back on and you can keep them." He said with a heart warming smile. She nodded and walked back into the bathroom. She emerged a few mintues later and walked to the door. "Thank you for the hosptality." She said and opened it. Vince looked to the side and saw her. "Orton, there is a no woman policy after midnight." Vince said and she looked at Randy. "Hey, you're Randy Orton." She said in a mono-tone. SHe looked down the hall and saw Gene Snitsky walking toward them. "She looked around her and then grabbed Randy. She burried her head in his chest and he watched as Gene walked right by them. She was clutching harder at him and he looked down at her. She was having a panic attack and she couldn't breath.
"So, what's wrong with her?" Randy asked the doctor. "Are you family?" The doctor asked and Vince stepped in. "I'm her uncle. What's wrong with her?" He asked and the doctor nodded. "Leslie suffers from what all rape victims suffer from. She has a terror of being alone." The doctor told him. "Is there a cure?" He asked. "Umm.. we could keep her here and keep her dosed up on drugs or you could take her home with you, get in touch with her parents, and don't leave her alone for more then an hour when she is sleeping and don't leave her side when she is awake." The doctor told them. A nurse came by and gave him papers. "Excuse me." He said and walked away. They all looked at each other. "Who picked her up?" Vince asked and Randy raised his hand. "I thought you were at the hotel the entire night." Vince asked and Randy shook his head. "John and I were on our way back when she ran out of the woods in front of the car. We took her back to the hotel." Randy told him. "You are to keep her by your side at all times. Even when you have to wrestle, she comes with you." He told him and Randy nodded.
"So how do panic attacks accure?" Vince asked the therapist. "Usually when some one has something tramitic happen to them, like getting raped, a sight or a sound they saw while it was occuring could set the victim into a panic attack. Seeing the rapist could send them into a panic attack. A noise, just a little bit out of the ordanairy could send them into a panic attack." The man told Vince. "How bad can an attack get?" Vince asked. "If the attack is not helped at all, if the person is not calmed down, the victim can die from a panic attack. Their brain goes into over drive and they stop breathing. Long enough with out breath and they die." The man told Vince and he nodded. "Thank you." He said then stood to leave. "You're not related to her are you?" The therapist asked. "HOw do you know that?" Vince asked. "You don't seem all that concerned for her well being, that's all."
Randy walked into the hospital room and saw Leslie sitting in her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest. She was rocking back and forth shaking her head. "He's not here, he's not here." She kept repeating. "Who's not?" Randy asked looking around the room. He was hoping her wasn't talking about him. "Him." She said but didn't point to anything or look up. "Who's him?" Randy asked as he slowly walked toward the bed. "Him, the one who raped me." She told him and he frowned. "Do you know who he is?" He asked and she nodded. She looked up at him. Her face was covered in bruises and he could see her pain. "What the fuck?" He asked then looked around. He was about to leave the room but her voice stopped him. "Please don't leave me." She said softly and he turned to her. She looked so weak and so alone. She gulped hoping that he wasn't going to leave her. 'What if he comes back to kill me?' She asked herself. Randy inwardly sighed and nodded. "I won't leave you." He told her and walked over to her bed.
"Leslie this is Stacy." Randy said as he introduced her. Leslie peeked out from behind him at the tall beauty. She looked like a little shy kid. At first she had thought Randy had finally lost it, there was no one with him. "Hi." Stacy said and Leslie nodded at her. "Les, I need you to stay with her for a little while. I need to get dressed for my match." Stacy gave him a questioning look. "The locker room that was supposed to be mine got wrecked and they are cleaning it for me." He told her and she nodded. He felt Leslie clutch the back of his shirt. Stacy looked around him and smiled at the young woman. She looked like a jungle cat in a cage. "leslie, hi I'm Stacy. would you like to come with me?" Stacy asked her as if she were talking to a child. Leslie shook her head. The woman wouldn't be strong enough to fend 'him' off. "I've got friends that I'm sure would like to meet you." She said and Leslie let go of the back of Randys shirt and extended her hand. Stacy took it and led her away from Randy. He walked into the main mens dressing room were most of the guys were and set his bag down. He opened it up and took out his wrestling gear. He knew that she had been through a lot, but he could help but feel lonely when she wasn't with him. He felt almost incomplete. "Earth to Randy." Batista called through the door. "You done in there yet? Man I gotta piss." He said and Randy hurried to get ready.
"So are you going to go out with him?" Lita asked as she sat on the bench next to the new girl. The girl was pretty, hell she was beautiful but she looked like she could snap at any second and just level everything. Victoria didn't even look that crazed when she was in character. "I don't really know him, why would I go out with him?" The girl asked and Lita had to stiffle a laugh. "Not that type of going out. Are you going with him to the ring?" Lita asked and she ohhed. The told her yes. "Then you'll need some make-up." Stacy said and walked over to her. "Come on, we'll fix you right up so you look great for your first on screen appereance." Lita said and the girl let a small smile on to her face but it quickly went away when she saw her attacker standing in the doorway of the room. "Lita, Edge wants to see you." He said then looked at the girl. "You." He said and stalked into the room. Leslie screamed and ran for the bathroom.
Randy heard a scream and took off in the direction of the womens dressing room with Batista and John Cena right behind him. "Cover up ladies." He yelled throught the door then opened it. Gene was pounding on the bathroom door and some of the women were trying to get him away from the door. Stacy saw Randy and ran to him. Randy pulled him away from the door and Gene elbowed him in the mouth. Batista and Cena jumped Gene and got him out of the room just as some camera men came into the room. "J.R. look it's to womens dressing room. PUPPIES!" King exclaimed. Randy tried to open the door but it was locked. "Leslie." He called but got no answer. "Who's Leslie J.R?" King asked and J.R said he didn't know. "Leslie." Randy called again but again got no answer. He took a few steps back and rammed the door. It flew open and they heard a scream. "Les, come on calm down, it's me." He said as he walked toward her. "He's not here, he's not here." She said over and over again. "No he's not here. I am." Randy said and reached out to touch her. She flinched and pulled back from him. "Come on Leslie." He said and reached out for her again. "I won't let anything happen to you." He told her. A flicker of light caught his eye and he turned to the camera men who were standing in the doorway. Leslie began to cry and crawled over to Randy. She wrapped her arms around his waist and burried her had in his thigh. "Come on." He said and lifted her up bridal style. He carried her past the camera men and out of the room. "Cover what you don't want seen boys." Randy called but before he finished his sentacne the door was thrown open and Christain stood there holding the door open fot him. "We all saw it on the t.v." John Cena said as he cleared a stop on the bench. Randy sat her down and then sat down so her head was in hs lap. "Can you get her something to drink?" Randy asked and John left with a nod. Triple H walked out of the bathroom and saw the young woman. "Leslie?" He asked and she shot up. "PAUL!" She screamed and flung herself at him and cried into his chest. Randy gave him a questioning look. "She my cousins ex-girlfriend." He told him and Randy nodded. He felt lonely even though he was still around her. Dave walked in with Vince and Eric hot on his heels. "Did you see who attacked her?" Vince asked and Randy nodded. "Who was it?" Vince asked. "Gene. He was pounding on the door and all the women were trying to fight him away from it." Randy told him.
The whole crowd was silent as Evolutions music hit. Evolution had been broken up for some time now and now here they are all walking out with Leslie at Randy's side. She felt safest next to him for some odd reason. Even though she knew Paul better she felt safer when she was around Randy and even safer when he held her. They walked into the ring and Ric grabbed a mic. He held it out to Triple H who took it and held it close to his mouth. "Gene, get your stupid ass down here right now. You and Evolution have a score to settle." Triple H said. "What? Gene has never gotten into Evolutions way." King said and then Snitsky's music hit and Leslie gripped Randy's hand tighter. He pulled her to him so her back was to his chest and wraped his arms around her. She seemed to instintly relax. Snitsky walked down to the ring and climbed in. He stepped toward Randy and Leslie but Batista and Triple H stepped in front of him so he couldn't get to them.
"It's ok, just calm down, calm down, will some one please get Randy in here?" One of the EMT's shouted. Gene had gotten a hold of her after he had thrown Randy and all the rest of Evolution out of the ring. He had pulled her out of the ring and slammed her into the steel stepa and then was chased off by Christian and Jericho. The Emt's came down and whisked her away from Randy and the rest of Evolution. Batista came in and sat in the seat next to her bed. She was in shock and was screaming for help. The EMT's couldn't put a finger on her. He grabbed her hand and she rolled off the bed and sat in his lap with her head in his chest. She was sobbing and he began to rock her. She was holding his one had in both of hers and his other arm was wrapped around her. He was whispering soothingly, trying to get her to calm down enough so the EMT's could stitch up the gash on her forehead. She had hit the steps hard. He could do nothing, it seemed like as he watched it his whole body was numb, he couldn't move. Randy came rushing in and saw the two. "Leslie." He said as he knelt down before them. She looked at him but remained where she was. "I was so scared." She said quietly. "I'll never let anything else happen to you, ok?" He asked and she nodded. "Now we have to get you up on this bed so the EMT's can get that cut closed." He told her. She slowly let go of Batista and Randy helped her onto the bed. He held one hand and she reached out for Batista's hand. He took it and she let the EMT's poke and prod at her.
Leslie woke up and sat up in a cold sweat. She looked beside her and there was Gene looking at her with a sickening grin. She threw back the blankets and ran from the room. She was half way down the hall when a door was opened and Randy stood in the doorway. "Are you lost?" He asked her and she shook her head and lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "let's get you back to your room."
Leslie woke up with a scream and jumped out of the bed tripping over Randy's bag and falling on her ass with an 'omff'. Randy sat up and looked over the side of the bed. She was looking around the room frantically. He turned on the lamp and she looked at him. "I don't want to go back to my room." She told him. "It's ok, you're already here." He told her with a smile. She looked around then got up. He thought she was going to climb back into the bed and snuggle into his chest like she did after every bad dream and tell him about it, but she fled. She made a mad dash to the door. She threw it open and ran out into the hall in her nighty. "Dave." She screamed then went downt he hall banging on doors trying to find Batista. He'd save her. Randy climbed out of the bed in his Hanes and walked out into the hall after her. She was about half way down the hall. "Leslie." He said and walked down the hall after her. "Dave." She said as she knocked on another door. A door opened to Randy's left and he looked at the lady in the doorway who was looking at him like he was a piece of meat. Now he knew how thw Divas felt. He smiled at her and then quickly took off after Leslie again. Les." He said as he grabbed her arm. "Let's go back to the room and we can talk." He said adn she tore herself from him. "NO, you are going to bring me back to him." She said. Dave finally opened his door at the end of the hall and looked out at Leslie and Randy. "What's going on you two?" He hollared. He remembered their room being closer. She looked at the end of the hall that she hadn't gone down. "He's trying to get me to go back to the room. But Gene is in there, I woke up and he was laying there, then I ran down the hall and he opened his door. I hugged him and he told me that he was going to bring me back to my room." She said when she reached him. Randy was right on her heels. "He's not in the room Leslie. I checked." Randy told her and she looked at him. "Are you sure?" asked. "I looked everywhere." He told her with a proud nod.
Randy laid awake with Leslie curled into his side. As soon as she had curled into him she had fallen asleep. He looked down at her peaceful expression. There was a knock on the door and Randy said it was open. John opened the door and then closed it once he was inside. "Hey man." He said and walked over to the bed. "Hey, how you doing?" Randy asked. "I'm good, how is she?" John asked. "She had a nightmare that I was bringing her back to Snitsky, she ran down the hall looking for Dave. I'm telling you man. She scared the shit out of me. She gets into these modes and sometimes I don't know id I'll be able to get her out of it." Randy said with a sigh. John nodded. He had heard her screaming for Dave. She had even banged on his door. She moved on the bed and put her had on his chest adn sighed. He hand was resting on his abs and every once in a while she would clinch her hand and scratch his stomach. It's help if he had an itch there but her nails hurt every time. Jphn took his first real good look at the young beauty. Even though she slept real well everynight with Randy and even though she was sleeping at that moment, she looked like she hadn't slept in days. "How is she when she sleeps?" John asked realising he didn't really know how she slept, he guessed cause tonoght wasn't a repeat. "She sleeps like a rock, wjen she sleeps. The first couple of days it was hard to get her to sleep. She didn't want to close her eyes in fear that he would be there when she opened them. Until about a week after we found her we were laying in bed and she was talking about her fathers funeral, she suddenly stopped talking and I looked down and she was sleeping." He told John. John nodded. "listen, you ever need help with her just let me know, I'll take her off your hands for a few hours or maybe just for a day, whatever, I just don't want this whole thing to ditract you from your game." John said. Randy nodded. "Thanks for the offer but I think she made a connection with Dave. But if her can't watch her then I'll call on you." Randy told John and John nodded. "Well, I'm gonna head back to my room, just thought I'd tell you the message before I forgot it." John said and then added. "Get a good nights sleep, you got a big match tomorrow right?" He asked then walked out of the room. Randy sighed and looked down at Leslie.
Leslie slowly woke up and moved away from Randy. He was still sleeping and she didn't want to wake him. He was usually awke before her and had breakfast made, and he was in bed when she woke up. He'd just smile at her and then looked toward the kitchen. She climbed out of the bed and grabbed his bag. She pulled out a pair of underwear, a bra, a pair of shorts, and a tank top. She walked toward the bathroom and with one last look toward the bed closed the door. She walked over to the mirror and didn't recognize the woman staring at her in the moirror. The woman was beautiful. She didn't know how much training with Randy, John and Dave was effecting body. She turned to the shower and turned it on. She let the water get hot then got in. She hissed as the first wave of water scorched her but then sighed as it relaxed away all her fears.
Randy woke up to the sound of the shower. He sat up quickly and looked beside him. Leslie wasn't there. He looked at the door and sighed. 'She's in the shower.' He thought then laid back down. He laid there for a few minutes and then got up to cook breakfast. Only Leslie was in the kitchen with batter in her hair and flour on her face. She looked at him and gave him a bright smile. He just chuckled at her. "What are you doing?" He asked as he walked over to her still in his Hanes. "Cooking." She said and turned back to the pancakes on the stove. "Who's in the shower he asked as he grabbed one of the made pancakes and ripped a strip off and put it in his mouth. "Dave, a girl that stayed in his hotel room used all the hot water. She passed out in the shower." She told him and put a few more pancakes on the plate. She poured more batter on then looked at Randy. The pancakes were mouth watering. "How are they?" She asked and he smiled. "Great." He said and she smiled. "My mom used to make them all the time and I used to watch her. I decided that I was going to give it a try today." She said then turned back to the pancakes. "She must have been one hell of a cook." He said and she nodded. "Yeah she wasn't that good of a mother though. After dad died she got worse. She used to go out a three and didn't get home until after we were all in bed. She told me later on that she couldn't stand being around us cause we reminded her of my dad. Not to long after that I found her in the bath tub, bloody water. She had slit her wrists." She told Randy. He knew from her stories that she had been young when all of her family died. She'd just turned thirteen when her youngest brother and last family member died of cancer. "I'm sorry." He said to her but she just shrugged. Everything happens for a reason." She said and put the last batch of pancakes on the plate. "I smell food." Dave said as he walked into the kitchen. She smiled and nodded. "Pancakes." She said and he made himself a plate while Randy went and took a shower.
"Come on, you can do it." Dave said and she did one more sit up then collapsed with a moan. Her hands went to her abs and she groaned. "I feel like Big Show just sat on me." She said and Batista laughed. "Come on." He said and helped her up. They walked over to the water fountian where Stacy and Christy Hemme were talking. "Hey Leslie." Stacy said as they approached. "Hi." Leslie said and got a drink. Dave looked over to where Randy was doing squats. Dave had worked out yesterday so it was his day off. "How are you doing?" Stacy asked. "I just 200 sit-ups." Leslie said and Stacy and Christy made an awe face. "200?" Christy asked and touched her own stomach. "I feel your pain." She said and Leslie laughed. "What now?" Leslie asked turning to Dave. "Now we bench press." He said and she made a face. Stacy and Christy laughed. "Good luck." Christy said and turned to Dave. "Take it easy on her." She said and he laughed. "I'm going to torcher her." He said and added an evil laugh. Leslie smiled then pulled him toward the benches. "Come on." She said the laid down on the bench. He adjusted the weight so it wasn't too heavey for her, yet wasn't too light for her. She grabbed the bar and lifted it. She lowered it slowly then raised it again.
Leslie walked to the bed and fell on it. Randy laughed at her and she gave him a scoul. He walked over and moved her. She sat up against the head board and watched him walk into the bathroom. She leaned over and pulled the present out from under the bed and set it on his pillow. She put her hands in her lap and sat in the Lotus position. Randy came back out and was about to sit down when he saw the small gift box. He looked at her and she just lowered her gaze. He grabbed the box and opened it. There was a set of dog tags in it. On the first one it said 'MY HERO' and the second one had his name, birth day, and the word 'HERO' on it. He looked at her and she was still looking at the bed. "I'm your hero?" He asked. She looked up and nodded. "You took me under your wing when you didn't have to, you keep the nightmares away, you listen to me, you save me from him." She said and he felt his ego boost. (In a good way.) He put the dog tags on and she smiled. "Do you like them?" She asked and he nodded.
"What's that?" Batista asked when Randy pulled his shirt over his head. "What's what?" Randy asked and Dave pointed to his chest. "Leslie got them for me." He told him. "She got you dog tags?" Dave asked. "Read them." Randy said as he took them off and handed them to him. "Wow." Dave said after hae had read them. "Yeah, I feel like I owe her you know?" He said. "She did this to say thank you for keeping her safe. This is her repayment." Dave said and Randy nodded. "I know, I just feel like I should get her a gift." He said and Dave nodded. "I know what you mean. But hey, you got a match coming up."
