Chapter 4
Time was approaching rapidly. It was the 25th and things were hectic in the Raw locker rooms, everyone was buzzing about the trial, much to the displeasure of Randy, John and Hunter. The last thing they needed was for the whole locker room to shut them out. Detective Bennett and the boys began to prepare; calling people to testify, getting evidence, buying suits, getting paperwork and still managing to do promotions and wrestle, it diffidently took a toll on the three of them.
"Ok you guys." Bennett said. The four were in Hunter's hotel room finishing up the last of their tasks before Saturday. "I think we're finally done. Let's just hope all this works."
"It should, we didn't do anything." Randy said.. He was laid out on the couch watching t.v.
"You know that and I know that, but the Plaintiff's don't and we have to prove it to them."
"I can't believe this is happening." Hunter said. He was standing in front of the window looking out into the city.
"It'll all be over soon you guys, just stay positive. Be strong."
"Easy for you to say, you not a prime suspect in a murder trial." Cena spoke up as he took the headphones off his ears. Bennett began to pack up.
"I'll see you guys Saturday, I'll be at the airport by 9am, goodbye." In an instant he was gone.
"I can't do this." John said as he fell back on the bed.
"Yes you can john. Like Bennett said, stay positive." Randy replied.
"I'll try." Randy turned to Hunter who was still staring out the window.
"What's the matter Hunt, you been quiet all week."
Hunter shrugged, "Just thinking, that's all."
"...about her again?" Cena asked, triple h could only nod. John and Randy stood next to him by the window. "What are you thinking about?"
He sighed. "...Just the fact that she's...gone. She's not here anymore, her smile, her eyes, her glow, her charm, personality, everything, it's just gone."
"I know, it's finally sunk into me too." Randy said as he lowered his head. "I just wish I could've seen her one last time."
"Me too." John agreed.
"Me three." Hunter said. It was a moment of silence before Hunter walked away from the window and into the middle of the room. "But, we can't. Carmen's gone and we have to accept it. The only thing we can do is go to the courthouse on Saturday and prove our innocence."
"You're right." Cena said.
"So let's do this then." Hunter said, the three of them banged fist. "Now let's get packing, we gotta plane to catch."
"Did Bennett say who was gonna be the first to testify?"
"I am." Triple H stated.
It was a terribly hot day in Boston that Saturday. Hunter, Randy and John were seated in there private limo looking at the group of media that had gathered in front of the courthouse.
"We're gonna have to go in sometime." Bennett said. They had been seated inside the car for the past 6 minutes. The three took a deep breath before Randy—who was seated at the end— opened the door and stepped out. No sooner did his foot hit the ground that the cameras began flashing, as the other two got out they quickly headed up the steps, the reporters somewhat blocking there way.
"There will be plenty of time to ask questions later. Right now we're going inside and we'll take questions afterwards, good day." Bennett stated before he followed the boys inside.
Inside the courthouse it was beautiful; marble floors, the benches and everything else was made out of mahogany wood. The windows up above were open considering the weather and gave a great view of the sky. As they looked around the courtroom they saw a lot of people were already seated, staring at them. They ignored them and headed over to the front so they could take their seats at the desk. 5 minutes later the courtroom was full of people, including a lot of the WWE superstars.
The room was silent for a moment or two before the entrance doors opened, everyone turned their attention to the aisle where Howard Ellis was walking confidently carrying his leather brown suitcase wearing the finest designer suit. But what the three men couldn't keep their eyes off of was the two people walking behind him, Nicole and Robert King.
The judge walked into the courtroom as the bailiff stood in front of the everyone. "Please rise." they did so. "The honorable Judge Harris presiding. You may be seated."
Judge Harris looked over his papers for a moment before looking up at the courtroom. "The King family vs. Paul Levesque, John Cena and Randy Orton in the murder of Carmen King will now come to order." He banged his gavel startling the three, they gave each other worried glances as the trial began.
Sorry for the delay, school just started for me. The real story begins in the next chapter, starting off with how Hunter met Carmen.
