Wednesday: June 15, 2011 9:00 A. M.
I slipped on a t-shirt as Randy was waking up. I notice him watching me.
"What are you doing?" I ask him.
"Just wondering how I got so lucky." He replies.
I smile. "I wonder the same thing with you sometimes."
"Rissa, I'm the one who got lucky. You're just stuck with me."
"No. You're amazing. I got lucky too."
"Okay then."
"You want breakfast?"
"Yeah."
"I'll make us breakfast."
"I can do that."
"No offense, Randy, but you always burn the toast. You ain't making my toast."
"Come on, Rissa."
"No."
"Well fine then. And you want me to do things for you at any other time."
"Bullshit. I'm going to make breakfast."
Randy grabs me by my waist and pulls me into a kiss. "Now you can."
"Okay."
I finish up the eggs as Randy finally arrives in the kitchen. I hear Chelle chuckle.
"Still can't believe you won't let me make breakfast." He says.
"You'd mess it up." I reply.
"Whatever."
The toast finishes. I start making plates.
"You should be happy that your wife basically does all the cooking." I say. "Men usually love that."
"I'm not like most men."
"I know. Come get your plate."
He grabs his plate. "I'm going to make breakfast, one of these days."
"You won't."
"Watch me." He kisses my cheek before heading to the table.
"Men." I roll my eyes.
Chelle laughs as she grabs her plate. "Tell me about it."
"He's so annoying sometimes."
"I feel the same way about John." She heads to the table as well.
John grabs his plate and stops by me. "He just wants to help you out. He thinks you do a lot of things, and I agree. Let him help with something."
"Fine…"
John and I go sit down. Randy kisses my cheek. We eat our food in silence due to us all still being a little tired.
"At least let me clean up." Randy whispers.
"Okay." I say.
He cleans up all of our dishes and heads to the sink to wash them.
"So…" Chelle says. "Where are the other four?"
"Ted had a family emergency and took Ryse with him." John says. "I don't know about Eve and Codes."
"Cody and Eve went to visit Goldust." I say.
"Oh." Chelle says. "Okay. You said last night that you and Randy are going to see Nathan today. Do you need John and I to do something while you're gone?"
"Just make sure Cami doesn't fuck with anything while we're gone."
"Okay. We can do that."
"Okay. Good."
"Have you realized that you haven't filmed anything for our YouTube channel since before you got married?"
"Has it really been that long?"
"Yeah. Your last video was about me retiring."
"Oh. Well damn. Guess I'll film something soon."
"You should. What are you going to film about?"
"I don't know. Maybe something about preparing for Capitol Punishment or something."
"Yeah. That would work very well."
"Okay. I'll try to remember to do that."
Randy and I show up at Nathan's apartment complex. We go inside and use the elevator to head up.
Randy grabs my hand. "I'm a little bit nervous about what's on the security camera footage."
I nod. "Me too."
The elevator arrives on the right floor. Randy and I get off and find Nathan's apartment door. Randy knocks.
Nathan opens the door. "Randy! Rissa! Come on in!"
Randy and I enter. Nathan goes to grab his laptop. We sit on the couch. Randy wraps his arm around me. Nathan joins us.
"So…" He opens his laptop. "I've gone through all of the security camera footage, and this is the only suspicious activity I've found on it."
"Okay." Randy says. "Play the footage."
Nathan plays the footage. "As you can see here, the footage cuts off at 3:25 P. M. and returns at 3:37 with the safe door open. Then cuts off again at 3:45, returning at 3:50 with the safe door closed again. This was on June 7, which is a Tuesday. That's means you two, Cody, Ted, Eve, and Maryse were at the SmackDown Filming. Were John and Michelle there around then?"
"John had media appearances last Tuesday." Randy says.
"He took Chelle with him." I tell Randy.
"Okay." Nathan says. "What about Tyler and Cami?"
"If they weren't working, they may have been."
"Well…if it was somebody staying there. It had to have been one of those two."
"Okay." Randy nods. "That puts our friends in the clear."
"Yes." I agree. "They are all innocent."
"Now we'll have to find a way to figure out if Tyler and Cami had anything to do with it."
"Deep and thorough investigation. That's how."
"We could also put in another security camera by the basement door without them noticing."
"That too."
Nathan smiles. "Glad you guys are getting this figured out."
Randy and I pulled into the driveway. He parked the Hummer.
"So…" I say. "Can we mention this to John and Michelle now?"
"Yeah." Randy says. "I think we're all good to do that."
Just at that moment, Chelle runs outside to greet us. "Ted just called. He and Ryse will be back tomorrow morning."
"Okay." I say as Randy and I exit the Hummer. "Are Cami and Tyler here yet?"
"Nope."
"Good." Randy says. "Rissa and I wanted to talk to you two about something."
"What do we need to talk about?"
"We'll leave the conversation for inside."
"Okay."
"So…" John says as he and Chelle sit with Randy and I at the dining table. "Is something going on?"
"You two haven't happened to see anything suspicious lately." Randy says. "Have you?"
"No…" Chelle says. "Why?"
"Because Randy and I are missing money," I say. "We know that none of our wrestling friends had anything to do with it, but we think it was stolen by someone staying here. So that means Cami or Tyler."
Chelle gasps. "Oh my God. How much money is missing?"
"Twenty-five thousand dollars." Randy says.
John looks shocked. "Damn that's a lot. You have to get that back."
"We know. Just tell us if you see anything suspicious."
"Okay."
