John looked over at Ted, dropping Cody to the floor.
"Randy's gay?" Ted looked up at John.
"Yeah, you never noticed how he looks at you when we're in the ring? How he hangs on to your every word?"
John was shocked; he had seen the way Randy's eyes lingered on him when he was covered in sweat, how Randy's breath and pulse raced every time it was just the two of them in the ring, how Randy was hooked and always took his advice. Then again, he also noticed that-
"He started drinking and smoking more than he ever has, all because of you. He's on the roof right now, drinking and crying. Please go talk to him, John."
John sighed and stormed out of the room; he climbed up the stairs and walked onto the roof.
"Leave me alone, Cody."
"It's not Cody. You need to talk to me, Randy."
Randy turned and faced John, "You don't even like me, John. Why did you come up here?"
John walked over and sat next to him, "To talk to you, and I like you. Why do you love me?"
Randy looked up suddenly, "How did you know?"
John turned and faced Randy, "Right now, you're pulse is racing. Your temperature is rising and your breathing is picking up."
Randy stared into John's eyes, "Don't fuck with me, John."
Randy got up and walked off the roof, down the stairs; leaving John behind.
"Randy, come here."
Randy turned and hesitated, why should he trust anyone but Ted and Cody, but it was Vince, his boss.
"He needs to get ready for the match tonight, Vince. If there is anything you need, we will be out in the ring."
Randy jumped and felt Big Show's large hand on his shoulder. Not once had Big Show ever taken his side.
Vince nodded, "Okay, Randy, you need to keep your cool out there, and keep those…abilities under some control. Use them only when Ted and Cody say to."
Randy nodded and moved away from Big Show, he headed towards Ted and Cody, who was waiting for him at the entrance of the ring.
"Do I trust Vince and Big Show?"
Cody smiled, "Trust everyone but The Miz, Kane, Shane and Matt."
"Do they want me dead?"
Ted shook his head, "No, but they will use you to get to John and us. Cody told Vince about our gifts, and only use your powers when you need to protect yourself and us."
Randy nodded, "Will I need them tonight, Cody?"
Cody's expression went blank and he started to fall when Triple H caught him.
"Is Cody alright?"
Ted touched Cody's arm and Cody woke up suddenly, "You will not go out to the ring Randy, sniper in the very top, he left the gun and stand in the rafters."
"When will he shoot?" Ted asked
"When the three of us start walking out to the ring. Ted, can you control him from that distance?"
Ted nodded, "No problem. I'll walk out first: Randy, you will stay back here with Cody. He will tell you when it is safe."
Randy nodded and started walking out to the ring.
"Randy what are you doing?! It's not safe."
Randy turned, "The show doesn't start for another two hours. We have an hour before the doors open."
He turned back and went out onto the ramp, when he took a breath of the venue air; the gunshot rang through the air.
