John and Randy were called to the scene by the local beat cops. They had gotten a call when it was discovered that the victim was Chris Jericho. They arrived at the scene and saw that Chris was shot like the others.
"Well I guess we know Chris isn't killing people." Randy said as they looked around.
"Chris knew about the killer. He knew he had to be careful. So he had to know him." John said as they saw there was no forced entry or anything.
Randy agreed and picked up the note. "You know who I am if you really think about it."
"He is taunting us. All these clues are telling us who it is." John was frustrated by everything. Someone was targeting the Orton's. His family from the moment he married Kallie.
"We found something." One of the cops said handing John a cassette tape from a tape recorder.
"Let's listen and find out what we have." John put the tape back into the player and pressed the button. Chris's voice soon filled the room.
"If you're hearing this, then I'm dead. I know about the killer on the streets. He is targeting us all and no one is safe. I know I'm a suspect but I would never do that to Kallie's family. I loved her and I still love her. I was hurt when she cheated with John Cena. But I would never hurt her like this. This killer knows you will find him and he is preparing for that. The final showdown and someone will die. Finally Orton and Cena, the so called dynamitic duo. You both are ones everyone wants to kill. Me especially. Orton, you made sure that I didn't become part of your family. You set it up for Kallie to meet Cena. You always had to get your way.
And Cena, you just had to make sure she fell for you. You played her to get her into your bed or should I say her bed because you wasted no time in fucking her in her bed and probably made sure I would see. You and Orton planned it all from the beginning. You ruined my life and my chance for happiness. I loved Kallie and I always will. Kallie, even though you fucked Cena while we were together, I still care about you and I love you. I know cheating wasn't your fault. Cena played you somehow to get you into bed. I forgive you. Anyway, now that I am dead, I wanted to say all that I didn't get to in my life. This killer is after something in particular and when you know what that is you will find out who he is."
The tape stopped there. John took it out of the recorder and placed it in an evidence bag. Then he and Randy headed to the station to let Bob hear it and see if something caught his attention. There had to some clue to who it was.
They arrived back at the station and played the tape for Bob. He listened to it and thought about everything. He went over all the notes and the clues.
"It's Michael Cole. It has to be." Bob replied.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not completely sure but it matches everything. It's Cole."
"Alright. So how do we proceed?" John asked his father in law.
"Let me go see him. It's worth a shot." Bob got up and turned to them. "John, go home to Kallie and Henry. Randy, go home."
"Dad, let's come with you."Randy said trying to convince him.
"No. I want you both with the family so I know they are safe."
John and Randy did as Bob asked and headed home. Randy arrived and found Reagan in the living room. She had taken some time off to figure things out with her ex over Max.
"Hey, everything okay?" She asked him when he came in.
"We think we know who the killer is and dad is going to talk to him." Randy said getting something to drink.
"You didn't go with him?" She asked as she sat down at the island in the kitchen.
"He wouldn't let us. He told me and John to go home and make sure you all were safe."
"I can understand that. So who is it?"
"Michael Cole."
"Really?" She laughed. "He didn't' seem like the type."
"Apparently we were wrong." He said heading into the living room. Reagan followed and found him standing by the window. She walked over to him.
"Randy, everything will be okay." She said as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I hope so." He said before kissing her.
Things started to get passionate when they heard something outside. Both barely had time to react when a bullet came through the window. Reagan pushed Randy out of the way in time to save him from getting shot.
"God that was close." Randy said once the person outside left. He had heard the tires squealing as they left. He looked over to Reagan and noticed she was shot. "NO, Reagan hold on."
He pressed a towel to her wound and called 911 and told them an officer was down. He continued to press the towel on the wound until the paramedics showed up. They rushed her to the hospital. Randy rode with them. He had to make sure she was okay.
After leaving the station, John arrived home and found Kallie in the kitchen with Henry.
"Hey, everything okay?" Kallie asked when she saw her husband.
"We think we know who the killer is." He said sitting down by Henry.
"Who?" She asked turning to him.
"Michael Cole."
"Really? Do you think he is the killer?"
"Your dad thinks he is. I just don't know if I believe he has it in him."
"John, I'm worried. He has already killed Annie and Ted. He almost got me."
"I know you're worried baby." He said hugging her. "But we will catch him. Your dad went to talk to him."
"Alone? You let me dad go alone?" She asked pulling away.
"We didn't let him. He told us to come home that way he would know the family was protected."
She looked up at her husband. She was worried about her dad and the rest of her family. This killer wanted revenge and he didn't care who he hurt.
"Are you sure we're safe?" She asked him.
"I hope we are. I set the alarm and we put in better glass." He replied.
"I know. Well, dinner is ready."
"Great."
They sat down to dinner but wasn't there long before they got a call from Randy telling them that Reagan had been shot. John headed over to the hospital while Kallie stayed home with Henry. She put Henry down for the night and walked downstairs. She had only gotten a few steps when she heard a voice.
"I was waiting for you."
She turned to see Michael Cole sitting in the living room.
