Chapter Fifty-Eight: Dave's P.O.V.

I tried not to act as though Paul's words didn't affect me, but I also knew how conniving, manipulative and sadistic his thinking was. I couldn't help but wonder what he had up his sleeve.

I was sitting in the locker room, alone when Randy walked in looking a little stressed out.

"What's wrong, man?" I asked him.

"I kinda let on to Jessie about H's plan," he answered, cautiously.

"What? Randy do you realize that I could lose Jess if she finds out about this? She's going to think that's the only reason I'm still with her, which it's not. It wasn't even the primary reason that I got with her before."

"Dave, man, calm down. She didn't find out what it was and she doesn't know that it involved her or you for that matter."

"You can't expect me to calm down, Randy! I might lose the woman I love because of your big mouth!"

"Dave! I know I made a mistake. I spoke without thinking but she doesn't know anything but the fact that H had a plan. Now, if you are calm about all of this, she'll think that you have nothing to do with it. Got that?" Randy asked and for once making some sense.

I nodded to him before taking a deep breath. "How did that come about anyway?"

"I don't want you to tell Paul or Flair if I tell you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"I asked Jessie to get me out of Evolution," he said in a low voice, almost a whisper. "And, I suggest you do the same."

"What?"

"You heard me. I can't do this anymore, Dave. I can't further my career by staying here. The IC Championship is great and everything but I want that Heavyweight Title. I don't know about you, but I do. I don't care if I have to wrestle Paul himself. I want it."

"Are you crazy, Randy? We've got it made here in Evolution. Yeah, sure, Paul's an asshole some of…most of the time but it can't get any better than this."

"All this coming from someone who once told me that we needed to start working our asses off to get somewhere in this company. And now you're happy staying with those two bastards to get what you want," Randy said somewhat disgusted. "Man, for awhile there, I was looking up to your integrity. Working as hard as you do, treating Jessie like a queen and having a real relationship with her despite Paul's dumbass plan, all of that good stuff. Now, that you say all of that shit, all that integrity goes right out the goddamned window," he continued and then walked out of the room and past Evolution's leader.
