Ride For You

Chapter 3

May 4, 2009

Several Weeks later

Randy Orton walked into the arena with two duffle bags on his shoulder. He had one duffle bag for him and the other for his children. They had spent he week with him and he felt happy with the week that he had. They had been spending every other week with him as the contract had stated. He was now looking for Rachelle so that he could give back the twin's duffle bag.

"Daddy, where's Mama?" Ryan asked as he looked up at his dad.

Ryan looked down at his son.

"Um…she's somewhere around here. Maybe she's with Uncle John." Randy said.

"Unca Shane!" Randy heard Rosella scream.

He followed the direction her voice was calling from. He saw Shane walking towards them. He stiffened a bit as the twins hugged their uncle. Shane stood up and looked at Randy.

"Shane." Randy gritted through his teeth.

"Orton." Shane said.

"What do you want?" Randy asked.

"Oh I don't want anything from you. Another McMahon wants something from you." Shane said.

"So she sent you to come get them. Figures she can't face me after what she's done to me." Randy said.

"Actually she's handling some important business that regards her and her position in the McMahon family." Shane said as Randy gave him a questioning look.

"What are you talking about?" Randy asked.

"Oh you'll see. Come on, Ry and Rose. Aunt Marissa and I have a surprise for you." Shane said as the twin's squealed in delight.

Shane took the twin's duffle bag from Randy and walked the twin's down the hall. Randy watched as they walked away. He had a question in his mind now. What was Rachelle planning to do? Was she planning to leave the business? He had so many thoughts that it scared him to death. He couldn't lose her not like this. He wasn't ready to lose her.

The past couple of weeks had been rough enough on him since he had signed the divorce papers. Rachelle changed her name back to McMahon rather than keeping his last name. That sent him into a real intervention. He wanted some sense of her belonging to him but he knew that she no longer would belong to him. Not until he straightened up his act.

He had spent countless nights trying to get some sleep but for him it felt awkward to not have her wrapped up in his embrace. He had been so used to that. He walked towards his locker room and went to prepare himself for the main event later on that night.

Later on that night…

Randy sat in his locker room with Cody and Ted. They were going to be his partners against Shane. They looked at the scene and watched as Chavo and Vickie were discussing the possibilities of different matches for Judgment Day. They watched as the door to Vickie's office flew open. Randy's eyes widen when he noticed the familiar person who had stormed into Vickie's office.

Vickie and Chavo stood up and stood near each other as they looked at the person who had come into the room. Chavo nudged his aunt's arm as if to signal for her to say something.

"How can we help you, Mrs. Orton?" Vickie asked as politely as she could.

Rachelle looked at Chavo and pointed to him.

"You better get the hell out of this room before the emotions that I've been holding inside of me come straight out and leave you out of action." Rachelle stated as Chavo rushed out of the room.

"Don't talk to him like that! May I remind you that I am the General Manager of Raw…" Vickie started to say but Rachelle cut her off.

"And let me remind you, Vickie that I am Rachelle McMahon not an Orton. I still have control over what you do on this show." Rachelle said as she took a step forward towards Vickie sizing her up.

"What the hell is she doing, Randy?" Ted asked.

"I have no idea." Randy said as he prayed that it was not something bad.

Vickie backed away from Rachelle.

"What…what…what do you … do you want… me to do for you?" Vickie stuttered.

Randy, Ted, and Cody watched as a sudden twinkle appeared in Rachelle's eyes as soon as Vickie said those words.

"Oh this isn't good." Cody said.

"Well since you decided to change the stipulation for my brother's match tonight, I've decided that I have a match for you that would raise the ratings. I mean it isn't quite fair that Ted and Cody won their match and they somehow get to team with Orton." Rachelle began to say.

"Oh? A match that could boost the ratings?" Vickie questioned.

"Of course." Rachelle said.

"And that would be?" Vickie asked.

Rachelle whispered something into Vickie's ears that left the crowd, Randy, Ted, Cody, and the other WWE Superstars in suspense. They watched as a smile formed on Vickie's face. Rachelle pulled away from Vickie.

"Is that a deal?" Rachelle asked.

Vickie shook Rachelle's hand.

"It's a deal." Vickie said.

"Good cause I doubt you would want to lose your job by refusing to give me a match." Rachelle said as she walked out of Vickie's office.

Cody and Ted looked at Randy.

"What do you think she told, Vickie?" Cody asked.

"I have no idea but I can only imagine that it won't be good for us." Ted said.

"You two need to step out of this room. I need to think alone." Randy said.

"Are you sure?" Ted asked.

"Did it sound like I wasn't sure?" Randy asked raising his voice.

Ted and Cody rushed out of the room.

Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase vs. Shane McMahon

Rachelle watched from the back monitor as Randy, Ted and Cody continued to shatter her brother's ankle. This gave Shane the victory of the match but not the victory that he was expecting. It wasn't the victory that Rachelle was expecting as well and now she was faced with the choice of knowing what she had to do in order to save her family.

Legacy was stood near Shane ready to make their next attack on him but they were interrupted by Batista's theme song. The crowd cheered and they watched as Batista and Rachelle rushed down the ramp. Legacy ran towards the ramp and watched as Batista and Rachelle tended to Shane.

Rachelle looked at her brother through her hazel eyes that were filled with tears.

"I'm so sorry, Shane." Rachelle said as she cradled her brother's head in her arms.

Shane looked up his baby sister.

"This is not your fault, Rae." Shane said.

"Yes it is, Shane. This is my fault and I'm gonna fix it." Rachelle said as the EMT's were getting ready to get Shane on a stretcher.

"Don't do something stupid, Rae." Shane said as Dave nodded his head.

"It's not stupid, Shane. I'm a big girl and I can handle myself. I'm doing this for my family and for me." Rachelle said as she grabbed a microphone and got into the ring.

Randy looked at her. He questioned the outfit she had on. White short shorts and a pink lace bra. It looked like she had forgotten to throw on a t-shirt. She lifted the microphone up to her mouth. He somehow ended up with a microphone in his hand and spoke before her.

"You do know that your Judgment Day is coming, Batista. Don't fool me by using Rachelle as a bait to slow me down." Randy said.

"Actually you're wrong, Randy. Your Judgment Day is coming sooner than you know." Rachelle said as she watched the expression on Legacy's faces.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Randy asked suddenly angry.

"Next Monday night, you better be ready for your opponent." Rachelle stated.

"And just who would my opponent be? I mean there's no one left in your family to fight this battle." Randy said.

"That's where you're wrong, Randy. You have yet to face the youngest McMahon in the family. The young woman that you had married and cheated on numerous times. The woman who allowed you to continuously break her heart. I may not be as good as my brother-in-law, my brother, my dad, or Dave but I know that when you mess with my family, you're messing with me. So next Monday Randy, it's gonna you and me in a cage match." Rachelle said as she felt her heart pounding against her chest.

Randy looked at her in shock as "Circus" by Britney Spears blasted through the arena. Where the hell had she come up with a match like that?! Was she crazy?! Was she asking for a death wish?! What was he going to do?
