Chapter 8: El Paso
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Josh Matthews had the unpleasant task of interviewing JBL just days after losing his championship title at WM to John Cena. The Longhorn limo pulled into the arena, with every member of the cabinet present except JBL.
"Where's JBL?" Josh asked, before being surrounded by the Basham Brothers, and Orlando Jordon.
Orlando hesitated a bit before answering. "He'll be here…he'll be here."
"What about all those secretive phone calls? He's been talking to someone here in El Paso."
"We don't know anything about any phone calls." Amy Webber snapped, motioning the cabinet to enter the arena, as Josh stayed outside in the parking lot hoping that JBL would arrive soon.

Satori sorted through her bag for an outfit. She'd be one of the two guests on Carlito's Cabana. "Hello." She smiled as Dawn Marie walked into the room. Without saying a word, or looking to see if there was anybody else in the room, she locked the door behind her.
"We need to talk." The brunette woman simply said. Not sure exactly why or what she did to strike this confrontation Satori sat down. "Look, I like you, really I do."
"But?"
"I know you're new around here." Dawn quietly said as people walked by, outside the door.
"What the hell did I do?" A worried Satori asked, watching Dawn pull out pictures from her purse. Dawn handed her the pictures and watched to see how the newer girl would react to them.
The pictures were candid photos of Satori and John Cena at a club after the WM after party. "Where did you get these?" she asked getting upset that her privacy was invaded.
"They're all over the internet." Dawn lied standing up off the bench. "Keira's my best friend. It'd be smart to stay away from John. And Edge."
"Edge?"
"Yeah, we obviously know you go after taken guys, and well, he's mine."
Satori more angry than upset now, stood to meet the brunette diva eye to eye. "Don't ever tell me what to do." She took a deep breath, in case there was a fight that would ensue. "Or what I can't do."
XOXOXOX
"Uh oh." Jackie said trying to open the locker room, finding that it was locked. Joy listened to the door, trying to identify the voices.
XOXOXOX
"I'm just relaying the message." Dawn replied, not particularly happy with the fact that the nice quiet "New Girl" came off a bit cocky.
"Well you can tell Keira, I'm a big girl. I'm in no need of a mother." She snickered looking at the pictures once more before throwing them at Dawn's feet. "If I want to see John…I will." When she opened the door, Both Jackie and Joy fell on top of each other in the doorway.
"There's that earring, Jackie." Joy said pretending to pick something up.
"Thanks!" Jackie said taking it from her making a silly face.
"She's such a klutz sometime." Joy said getting a look from Jackie. "I swear, she'd lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body."

The final segment before SD's main event of Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show, Carlito made his way down, as the stage crew set up for the Cabana. Backstage Keira was already there, she'd seen Dawn walk by, and delivered a nod. Smiling with satisfaction that the damage had been done.
"Why the smug face?" Satori asked, walking past her nemesis. Smirking the entire way through the gorilla. Carlito showed clips of their feud heating up at WM, he than introduced Satori first.
"Satori." Carlito winked, "Although what you did at WM was very cool, what do you have to say for yourself?"
After chants from the fan that she was a slut. Something that she could never understand the fans. In a business like this though she knew they made your career, not the writing team. You can have a story as they made up with the Rock. The fans hated it, with a little freedom and crowd reaction he soon became a household name.
"What I did at Wrestlemania." She paused; really embracing her heel role she was given. "Was just the beginning."
"You mean to tell me, there's more?" Carlito grinned. Before she could answer 'Faint' blasted through the speakers, and Keira walked down the ramp. Walking into the ring the tension between the two women could be cut with a knife. "Keira Turner, welcome to Carlito's Cabana."
"You may be new around here." She started. "You made a huge mistake getting involved in my business." She slapped Satori hard across her face, so hard it sent stings through her wrist. Carlito held Satori back from attacking the girl. "Go ahead… let her go."
JBL's music hit the El Paso arena floor, and he came down to the ring, alone. "You two better get out of here if you know what's good for you." He ordered. "Not you." He smirked grabbing Keira. She tried to smack his arm off of her shoulder. "No I got big plans for you." She knew exactly what he was referring to.
Trying to escape his grip, she kicked, and punched but she was stuck in the arms of a man on the verge of lunacy. "Now I know, you didn't help John cheat at Wrestlemania, I know that."
Tazz: Why is he blaming her Cole?
Cena chants started to fill through the arena. More scared than anything Keira stood there, not trying anything stupid. "No…you didn't. But let me ask you something." JBL asked grabbing her hard, and close to his face, lifting her off the ground. "Why did he even have a title shot?"
"That wasn't my fault." Keira said, loud enough for people to hear it.
"Wasn't your fault?" JBL asked dropping her deep into the turnbuckle. "Lets just take a look at whose fault it was. Clips were shown from four weeks ago, of a tournament that took place. Keira point blank screwed Kurt Angle over a pin, and a title shot giving John the win, ad main event at WM. It was nothing toward JBL, she and Kurt had been feuding with one another for a little over a year.
"That was you!" he said picking her up once again. "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" he threw her down once again, spotting Cena running down the ramp. The two men started fighting and officials came down to help Keira to the back. John was down on the mat, when JBL called for someone in the back. A brunette woman came strolling down, with a steel chain in hand.
Cole: I think I know that woman.
Tazz: What in your dreams maybe.
Cole: No, I seriously think we know her.
She punched Cena straight in the chin, immediately making his mouth bleed. The two of them put a beating on the champion. "Look at that Cena." JBL laughed. "My own personal thug."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
a/n: OKAY! Satori's life heats up. She's also in a bit of a triangle. JBL's plan has begun, his own personal thug huh? Her eye's are on more than one target though.
ENJOY!
