Seven – Jewel Intentions
"It can only be removed by someone that loves her," Trish exclaimed holding onto the UPS guy's head prying the truth from his spirit.
"What do you mean?" Shawn cried down the phone tears running down his face as his wife struggled for breath on the floor beside him. Cameron was walking back and forth nervously looking at his mother struggling for air. Her face was turning blue and her fingers were tugging at the necklace squeezing her throat closed.
"Daddy can't you break it?" he asked gently.
"No Cameron I can't it won't break and it won't cut," Shawn replied tearfully as his wife grabbed his hands and together they tried to pull the choker off.
"Trish this doesn't make sense, if the necklace can only be removed by someone who loves her Shawn should be able to break it off," Lita said confused.
"I know it doesn't make sense Amy but that's what I'm getting from this guy," Trish replied.
"Are you sure that's the truth?" Stephanie asked.
"No I know it's the truth honey, Amy try something else," Trish said to Lita who was holding onto the phone as if it was Shawn's hand.
"Shawn put Cameron on the phone," Lita said to HBK.
"What?" Shawn asked confused fighting furiously with the necklace but it wouldn't give.
"Please Shawn trust me put Cameron on," Lita said again and Shawn hesitantly waved Cameron over.
"Take this and listen to what the woman on the other end tells you," he said firmly. Cameron took the phone apprehensively and put the receiver to his ear.
"Hello?" he said.
"Cameron you love your mother very much don't you?" Lita asked.
"Yes," Cameron answered looking at his mother fighting like crazy for breath.
"I know you do Cameron and Jesus knows too. In fact He thinks you love your mother so much you could save her life," Lita said patiently and Edge looked at her curiously, "This is what I want you to do Cameron are you ready?" she said and Cameron nodded nervously.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"I want you to take your mother's hand and repeat after me," Lita said and Cameron followed her instruction.
"Say 'By the power of Christ I break this device and vanquish the curse therein'" Lita announced.
Cameron took a deep breath and squeezed his mother's hand, "By the power of Christ I break this device and vanquish the curse therein," he said.
"Good Cameron good, now pull the necklace off your mother's neck," Lita said and Cameron gave the necklace a great pull and it came off instantly. Shawn gasped as his wife sucked air into her lungs like it was life itself. He looked over at his son with great joy and grabbed him off his feet.
"You did it Cam you did it!" he said hugging Cameron lovingly, then he picked his wife up from off the floor and made sure she was alright. Cameron picked up the phone hugging his mother at the same time.
"Is this Lita?" he asked.
"Why yes it is," Lita answered giving everyone the thumbs up signaling that everything was alright.
"Phew!" they all said collectively.
"My Dad said you were a nice person and that you weren't anything like they made you look on TV," Cameron said.
"Well tell your Father I appreciate that," she said.
"Here you can tell him yourself," Cameron said passing the phone over to his Father, "Oh and Lita?" he said before handing over the phone, "Thank you for saving my Mother's life, God bless you,"
"You're welcome," Lita said moved by Cameron's words, "Hey Shawn, when Hunter comes over you need to give him that necklace so that we can destroy it okay?"
"Yeah," Shawn said wiping away his tears, "So it was that UPS guy after all, it wasn't Randy?" he asked.
"Yeah, the guy's got something against Hispanics. Trish knew he was lying when he said all was good between him and Melina because he had some cruel intentions in mind for your wife," Lita explained.
"But my wife isn't Hispanic," Shawn said.
"No but the necklace is, you bought it from that Mexican jewelers remember?" Lita replied, " And Ms Perez was Hispanic and Trevor Richards lived in a Hispanic neighborhood. This guy's a monster Shawn, I tried to cast the demon out before but it's still in him. I can't let this man leave this house without casting it out he's dangerous I just hope I do it right,"
"Lita trust me you will do it right, God gave you the Anointing for a reason, don't be afraid be like Joshua and be of good courage you can do it, now bind that demon once and for all!" Shawn said. Lita took a deep breath and hung up the phone deciding it was time to stop talking.
"We better get this guy outside," Lita said.
"Why?" Shelton asked.
"The last time I cast out a demon the roof of the UPS building caved in, I don't wanna have to buy Hunter and Stephanie a new house,"
Lita said and everybody looked at each other in amazement helping Lita take the UPS guy outside.
"Wait a minute," she said all of a sudden and looked over at Trish and Melina, "You two do it, you cast the demon out,"
"What?" Trish and Melina said in shock, "Amy that's what you do," Trish said and Lita shook her head.
"Not in this case, this guy hates Latinos and you're going out with one," she answered, "And Melina you are Latino, you both have personal connections to the Latino culture, if anyone should exorcise this demon it should be you guys not me,"
Nitro and Carlito smiled and began to clap their hands in show of support for their girlfriends.
"You can do it babe!" Nitro called out.
"¡Tengo fe total en usted/I have total faith in you!" Carlito said in Spanish. Melina and Trish looked at each other for a minute then patted each other on the back encouragingly. Trish grabbed the UPS guy by the shoulders and wrapped her hands around his head while Melina took his hands in her own and held them tightly.
"Los filipenses 4:13 dicen que puedo hacer todas las cosas a través de Cristo que me consolide," Melina said with her eyes closed.
"Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," Trish repeated.
"Por lo tanto déjelo ser establecido que como niños del dios siempre cariñoso, podemos nos amamos mientras que usted nos ama, que está sin prejudicar o preferencia,"
"Therefore let it be established that as children of the ever loving God, may we love each other as You love us, that is without prejudice or preference".
"¡En el nombre de su hijo Jesús Cristo que nos amó todos lo que ato a este demonio del odio y de la muerte y que lo substituyo por la gloria del amor y de la vida y yo ahora átela en el nombre de Jesús!"
"In the name of Your Son Jesus Christ who loved us all I bind this demon of hatred and death and replace it with the glory of love and life and I bind it now in Jesus' Name!"
The UPS guy fought and struggled but Trish and Melina held on not allowing him to get away from them and then he stopped struggling and relaxed onto the grass. Melina opened her eyes and loosened her grip on his hands. Trish looked over at his face to see his facial expression. He turned to Melina and smiled up at her.
"Mamacita!" he said and everyone looked at Melina and smiled.
"I think he likes you," Lita said proud of her two compatriots.
"What's not to like?" Melina replied and gave the UPS guy a big hug which he appreciated very much.
Back in San Antonio:
Shawn opened the door and saw Hunter standing in front of him. He hugged him relieved and Hunter almost cried on his shoulder.
"I should never have left you," Hunter said.
"You had to otherwise I would have known something was up and freaked out," Shawn replied.
"How is she?" Hunter asked.
"Come in and see for yourself," Shawn said smiling then his eye caught the McMahon helicopter parked in his front lawn and he shook his head laughing.
Hunter walked into the living room and saw Rebecca hugging Cameron on the floor. She looked up and saw him and smiled and Hunter smiled back relieved.
"Cameron saved her life," Shawn said.
"What how?" Hunter asked amazed.
"Lita," Shawn said in awe of the red-head.
"Ah Lita," Hunter echoed in equal admiration.
"Only one thing bothers me," Shawn said walking away from his wife a little bit, "Trish said that the necklace could only be broken by someone who loved her but I couldn't break it,"
Hunter frowned, "That's weird," he said, "Must be a glitch in the spiritual matrix," he said shrugging.
"Yeah but Trish doesn't make mistakes and I do love my wife," Shawn said and Hunter nodded considering the situation rubbing his chin.
"Where's the necklace?" he asked and Shawn picked up the blue box with the white bow tied around it on the side table. Hunter looked inside the box at the necklace all fragmented and broken up in the box.
"How on Earth did this happen?" Hunter asked shaking his head then a card fell out of the box and he knelt down to pick it up. He read over it and looked up at Shawn with a scowl on his face.
"Tell me you didn't write this," he said thrusting the card at Shawn who was looking at him confused.
"I didn't write the card, Maria wrapped it up and put the card in there," he said as surprised as Hunter was even though Hunter looked more angry then surprised, "What?" Shawn said and Hunter showed him the card. It said: "To Lita."
"We need to go see Maria," Shawn said angrily and Hunter nodded.
"Where you guys going?" Rebecca said coming over to them with Cameron.
"We're just gonna go into town real quick, we won't be long," Shawn said giving her a kiss. Shawn ruffled his son's hair and told him to take care of his mom while he was gone. "Come on Hunter," he said to Triple H who was staring at Rebecca's hair.
"How long's your hair been red?" he asked and Rebecca looked at her hair and gasped.
"Shawn look, my hair's red! Why's my hair red?" she said and HBK looked at her equally surprised, Hunter on the other hand was starting to piece things together for himself.
At the Rivercenter Mall:
"I think I know what's going on here, but I love you too much to say it," Hunter said angrily to his friend who was just as bewildered as Hunter was angry.
"How did you get Vince's 'copter? He's been keeping that a secret for months," Shawn said as they stepped off of Vince's secret aircraft.
"I jacked it what do you think? I had to come out and make sure you were alright you think I'm gonna let my father-in-law get in the way of me looking out for my best friend and his family?" Hunter replied fiercely and Shawn looked down as they walked through the Rivercenter Mall.
"Why are you mad at me?" Shawn asked innocently and Hunter exhaled slowly trying to calm down.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at me," Hunter replied, "I think I may have inadvertently been responsible for Rebecca nearly choking to death,"
"What do you mean?" Shawn asked confused.
"Come on Shawn, the card, the hair - I don't know how but I think I may have subconsciously got you thinking about Lita in ways that no married man should," Hunter explained.
"But you're married and you think about her like that all the time," Shawn said.
"Yeah but I'm just fooling around, I think you actually like her," Hunter said.
"Sure I do, as a friend," Shawn said.
"Yeah and combined with my dirty mind that adds up to infidelity which is a sin," Hunter said and took a deep melancholic breath, "This wouldn't be the first time the Devil's played tricks on our minds Shawn, it's like Becky almost turned into Lita back there,"
"Oh man do you really think that's what happened?" Shawn asked starting to believe his best friend.
"Hang on let's go in here first," Hunter said as they returned to the Mexican jewelry store, "On second thought," Hunter said stopping Shawn from going in, "Let me go in alone, if Maria sees you she might not be so forthcoming with the information you dig?"
Shawn cocked his eyebrow, "You dig?" he said sarcastically and Hunter ignored him and went inside. Maria was cleaning the jewelry cases when she saw The Game in the mirror's reflection. She gasped and spun around like a spinning top.
"Triple H!" she cried.
"You must be Maria," Hunter said strolling over to the teenage girl, "Shawn told me all about you, told me I had to come in here and check out the best jewelry store in San Antonio,"
"Shawn talked about me?" Maria gasped clutching her heart like it was about to explode, "Whoa man how cool is that? So what do you want a necklace for your wife, a gift for a friend, anything just say the word and it's yours," she said excitedly. Triple H leaned over the counter and casually removed his shades from his eyes to the top of his head.
"How about answering one question for me?" he said and Maria looked at him a little confused but keen to please him anyway.
"Sure," she said.
"When Shawn told you to write the card for his gift to the love of his life, who did you think he was talking about?" Hunter asked and Maria shrugged.
"Well at first I thought he was talking about his wife," she said, "then I saw his face when Lita came into the store,"
"What do you mean?" Hunter asked and Maria pulled her hair behind her ear and leaned on her elbow thoughtfully.
"It was like the first time you see someone really special and everything they do is amazing; the way they move, the way they talk, you're just infatuated with them," she said and Hunter nodded.
"So you think it was just infatuation?" he said.
"No way Jose," Maria replied shaking her head, "that was love," she said coming from behind the counter towards The Game, "the way he floated back into the store to check on his gift, I knew right then and there that she was the love of his life,"
Hunter fretted but remained cool on the outside. He kissed Maria on the head, "Thanks doll," he said and left the store leaving Maria with one awesome story for her friends to hear after work. Shawn's eyes opened wide as Hunter approached him eager to hear Maria's explanation for writing Lita's name on the gift card.
"What did she say?" he asked concerned hoping that Maria didn't give Hunter some revelation about him being madly in love with Lita. Hunter blew it off and shook his head.
"Kids, what do they know?" he said pulling Shawn in for a hug, "I know you'd never cheat on your wife Shawn, let's just put the whole thing down to a racist UPS guy with way too much time on his hands,"
Shawn smiled and patted Hunter's back relieved, "Now I can sleep without having to feel guilty about nearly killing my wife," he said while Hunter reflected on what Maria told him not sure if he'd be able to sleep tonight at all and so he considered the steps that would have to be taken to ensure that Maria's observation about Shawn and Lita did not become a reality.
