More People Coming

"Come on Chris. You've got to eat something." Eddy said hoping to get some kind of reaction from his friend. But his friend just continued to stare off into space ignoring the soup that was in front of him. It was several days after they finally stopped Raven's nest. Raven was in jail waiting for trial and the Nest was disbanded physically. But from the looks of it, not mentally.

"Chris if you don't eat something you'll be locked up with Matt." Perry said. He looked up as Shane entered the room. "So are they coming?"

"Nancy's doctor won't let her but Dean's catching the first flight down." Shane said.

"Oh yeah forgot to tell you Chris. Nancy's pregnant. You want to go back and be with her don't you?" Eddy asked. No response. Eddy was getting very frustrated with this. He didn't know how to reach Chris. This was a man that pulled him out of his own inner demons not that long ago and got him back on track. Now he couldn't do the same. He felt like going to the jail Raven was at and beating the crap out of him. Anything to make any of this make more sense.

Stevie and Meanie wandered into the room. Stevie still had a dazed look on his face. They hadn't bothered to take the hospital bracelet off since he came here an hour ago. Meanie looked frustrated too.

What were they going to do?

DDP sat at the other end of the table on the phone. He sighed. "Yeah okay I understand that's what you have to do. yeah I know Kanyon did it willingly but...okay. thanks anyway." he hung up. "D.A.'s not letting Kanyon plea bargain."

"I know he's your best friend Dallas but come on. Think of what he's done. Maybe he won't get as big of a sentence." Perry said. the others just shrugged.

Ric Flair was at home in Charlotte throwing things in a suitcase. His flight leaves in two hours and he didn't know how long he'd be in Amarillo. He looked over at three of his children Reid, Megan, and David. "Here's a couple hundred dollars to buy groceries with." He said handing it to David. "I don't know how long I'll be in Texas. If you need me call my cellphone. David don't forget about Reid's wrestling practices. Megan you can give your brother rides too when you aren't at gymnastics." He was looking around for something.

"Don't worry. We'll be fine dad." David said.

It had only been a couple of months since Beth had died in a car accident. Ric had left the sport to take care of his two youngest children. He had received a call from Funk of all people asking him to come to Amarillo. If it had been anyone other then Chris or Arn he would have said no. He called David and had asked him to take care of Reid and Megan while he was gone.

He hugged his children and went to the car. David stopped him. "Just help Chris. That's all anyone asks."

"How did you get to be so smart?" His father joked.

"From you."
