Chapter Fourteen - Shock Treatment
DX went home later that day with their minds racing, after Chyna's phone call about Jericho taking the ARK Angels DX combed Greenwich looking for a limousine but they didn't find one. Eventually they dragged their tired bodies home, went upstairs and there they noticed two things: one was Cameron's new backpack on the floor and the other was the sound of children laughing. DX ran down to the West Wing into Shawn and Amy's bedroom, they bolted through the door and saw the ARK Angels around Amy safe and sound.
"Phew!" Shawn, Hunter and Joanie said at the same-time.
"Well hello there," Amy said happy to see them, "Won't you come in?" she said sarcastically and DX couldn't help but smile, "The kids were just telling me what a great time they'd had with Chris Jericho,"
"You mean after he kidnapped you from school?" Hunter said annoyed but relieved that the children were okay.
"Keep it down Hunter," Shawn warned Triple H, "I don't want any stress in this room, or in the house for that matter,"
"I would have thought just saying Chris Jericho's name would have made you nauseous Big Red," Hunter said coming over to the children and giving LC a big hug.
"That little scamp, get out of here I love Jericho, he always makes for great entertainment," Amy said and Hunter looked at her like she was crazy.
"So where did he take you guys?" Chyna asked LC.
"To some place called Guitar Heaven then we went for ice cream and he told us how cool it was to hang out with us," Cameron said rolling his eyes and Shawn could tell his son wasn't impressed with Jericho's affection towards the ARK Angels.
"I played guitar," LC told Hunter.
"She's really good," Carla said enthusiastically and LC shrugged.
"What can I say, I have a knack for holding heavy pieces of wood in my hand," LC said.
"I wonder where you get that from." Chyna said smiling at Hunter.
"Jericho said I get it from him," LC said and Hunter's face dropped, "He said I'm a natural musician and if I came to New York he's enroll me in music school full-time,"
"Oh he did?" Hunter said angrily.
"Hunter," Shawn warned his best friend and Amy laughed a little to herself.
"Kids would you mind leaving us alone to talk?" Amy said to the ARK Angels and Carla and they headed for the door, all except Cameron.
"I'm gonna stay with them," he said to Carla, LC and Cheyenne and closed the door behind them.
"Lay it on me son what's on your mind?" Shawn asked Cameron.
"The samething that's on mom's mind - Jericho is hiding something from us," Cameron said annoyed, "From all of us," he said gesturing to everyone in the room.
"It's so pathetically transparent I can barely contain myself," Amy said laughing some more.
"Well if you think that's hilarious try this one on for size - the McCools had no idea Jericho wanted Carla to go to Waterside for a whole semester," Shawn said and Amy laughed even more.
"He didn't tell them?" Amy said holding her sides.
"No he just went ahead and made plans without them even knowing about it!" Shawn said and even he started to laugh a little bit.
"The only thing that actually bothers me apart from Jericho himself is that Stephanie thinks his intentions are good," Hunter said, "Jericho's done quite a number on her,"
"Well she wouldn't think he was so sweet if she saw this letter that he wrote to me," Amy said getting a small envelope out of the nightstand and showing it to Cameron.
Cameron frowned at Amy after he read the note, "This isn't Jericho's handwriting," he said somberly and Amy frowned at him.
"How do you know?" she asked him.
"Because it's Shane McMahon's," Cameron replied and Amy gasped.
"Really, how do you know?" she asked the Amazing one.
"Because he sent me a card telling me congratulations after Cheyenne was born, this is his handwriting alright," Cameron said picking up the envelope and looking at it, "And there's no postmark on this envelope which means he was here,"
"Well that interesting, Shane's hating on me too," Amy said with a laugh and she burnt up the letter with her Righteous Indignation before Shawn had a chance to read it, "You didn't need to see that honey," she told Shawn.
"The message was most likely from the whole McMahon family, excluding Stephanie of course," Cameron said while Amy just laughed to herself.
"Are you alright Amy?" Joanie asked wondering why Amy wasn't more serious.
"Joanie if I don't laugh I'll get mad, and if I get mad I'll get involved and if I get involved Shawn will get upset, then Trish will come around and insist on baby-sitting me until the baby is born and I'm sure Randy would just love that," Amy said, "The McMahons must want me to get upset but I won't, I refuse,"
"That's right mom you stay happy, we'll take care of this won't we dad?" Cameron asked Shawn who nodded adamantly.
"You got it son," he said confidently and Hunter felt left out.
"What about me?" he said.
"You just try not to trash Jericho in front of Carla, she's the only one in this house who genuinely likes the guy," Cameron said.
"Well then I think we need to prescribe some shock therapy treatment for the little chica before it's too late," Hunter said and Shawn slapped him on the shoulder, "Okay I'll try to be good, but I'm not making any promises,"
"I know its hard Uncle Hunter I'm having a hard time with this too, I just wanna know what Jericho wants," Cameron said.
"What he wants is to split up this family and that ain't gonna happen," Shawn said and Hunter nodded in agreement, "the question on my mind right now is what to do about Punk and Batista,"
"I asked God about that and He said the answer is in this room," Cameron said and Hunter and Shawn looked around.
"Where?" Shawn asked and Cameron shrugged.
"I don't know he just said it's in this room," he said.
"Is it under the bed?" Hunter said looking under the bed.
"No," Cameron said.
"Is it in the cupboard?" Shawn said looking in the cupboard.
"No," Cameron said rolling his eyes.
"Is it in Amy's underwear drawer?" Hunter said and Shawn pulled Hunter away from the drawer and out of his bedroom while Amy and Joanie laughed it up. The sound of an electric guitar riff got Hunter and Shawn's attention and they walked down to LC's room where the sound was coming from. Hunter pushed open his daughter's bedroom door and saw her playing an army print Fender to the tune of Ace of Spades by Motorhead.
"What you got there LC?" Hunter asked.
"It's a guitar dad," LC said sardonically, "Jericho bought it for me, do you mind if I play it?"
"No of course not, how come you never said you wanted a guitar I would have bought you one?" Hunter said.
"I never really wanted one until Jericho took me to Guitar Heaven," LC replied.
"She's really good," Carla said.
"Why don't you stay and listen to me play the rest of Ace of Spades?" LC asked Hunter who nodded hesitantly.
"Okay sure," he said coming in and sitting on the floor.
"Couldn't you play more Christian rock?" Shawn said.
"I'll get to Jason Upton in a second," LC said.
"Whooo!" Shawn said happily and LC started to play, not knowing that every chord was like a knife through Hunter's heart.
WWE Supershow, U.S Cellular Arena, Milwaukee, WI at 9pm:
Shawn was singing 'Lion of Judah' with much enthusiasm due to the fact that LC had been playing it on her new guitar all week and now he couldn't get the high spirited Christian song out of his head. As soon as Shelton Benjamin heard it he joined in and soon half the Smackdown roster was singing it:
"Hear the sound of the Lion of Judah
See the fire and the fear in the enemy's camp
From the sound of the lion of Judah roaring again
There's a new generation arising
A nameless, faceless, placeless tribe
All they fear is the fear of the Lord
All they hear is the Lion of Judah!"
The revelry continued to spread but not to Hunter who was irritated by the joyous theme, it wasn't the song that bothered him it was the circumstances from which the song came into his everyday life.
"Will you guys pipe down I'm trying to go over this run sheet," Hunter said waving the piece of paper in the air even though everybody already knew the order for the show.
"Come on Hunter join in!" Shawn said enthusiastically.
"No," Hunter said with a pout and Shawn sighed putting his arm around Hunter while the boys continued to sing the song.
"So Jericho bought her a guitar don't let it get to you," Shawn said, "You're still the apple of LC's eye - next to Cameron, you're still the king of her world - next to Cameron,"
"Hey Cameron is the prince LC's world okay, I'm the king - at least I was the king," Hunter said morosely.
"What are you talking about?" Shawn said wondering why Hunter was so down on himself.
"She never cared about music until Jericho showed up and realized she had talent, she's good Shawn," Hunter said.
"I know she's good but Jericho wasn't the one who discovered that, we all discovered it at Luis Vitton in Hollywood remember? She played your theme song with Cameron and Carla after Mariah Carey got freaked out by Aurora and left the store," Shawn reminded Hunter.
"Oh yeah, she was fantastic," Hunter said.
"And it was your song that brought it out of her," Shawn said and Hunter smiled.
"Yeah it was," Hunter said, "Jericho had nothing to do with it,"
"Absolutely nothing, just because he has a passion for music doesn't mean LC will as-well," Shawn said then he realized he'd went to far when he saw the look of derision on Hunter's face, "I'll shut up now, Shelton, Jeff you're up next!"
Ambassador Hotel, 11pm:
After the show the wrestlers stayed up late in the hotel restaurant talking and eating dessert, at least Jeff was and Shelton was trying to convince him to watch his diet.
"Easy on that sundae Aqua Libre, you're gonna need to be in top shape when you go up against me for the WWE Championship," Shelton said.
"And when will that be Shelton?" Jeff said licking the spoon.
"When it comes from around Edge's waist," Shelton said looking over at the Rated R Superstar.
"Actually Shelton I believe the WWE Title will be going around my waist after it comes off of Edge's," MVP bragged.
"Will you guys quit it? The show's over the fans have gone home can't we talk about something other than wrestling for once?" Edge said and Shelton, Jeff and MVP went quiet, "Any this belt isn't going around any of your waists because none of you will ever beat me for it, ha-ha!" Edge taunted them and the wrestling conversation started up again.
Shawn and Hunter rolled their eyes, "At least they're happy and healthy as opposed to Batista and Punk," Shawn said.
"At least Punk showed up for his match, Batista didn't show up at all," Hunter said.
"Yeah and I don't like that one bit," Shawn said and the hotel security guard came into the restaurant and approached the co-owners of the WWE.
"You two better come quick, some kid's been attacked near the arena you were just wrestling in," the security guard said.
"Is the kid okay?" Shawn asked the guard as he and Hunter got to their feet and followed him to the hotel exit while the other Superstars listened in knowing that something bad had just happened.
"He's pretty shaken up, he's bleeding and he's got scratches all over himself," the security guard said and he took Shawn and Hunter over to the police officer who had asked to see them.
"Do you know where this Batista is?" the officer asked DX and they shook their heads that they didn't.
"Why do you ask?" Hunter said.
"Because he was the one who attacked this kid, the little boy asked him for an autograph and this Batista went nuts. You better find him boys because he is in a whole lotta trouble," the police officer said and Shawn and Hunter sighed.
"With the attacks in Louisiana and Washington Batista doesn't stand a chance," Hunter said and Shawn nodded thinking Batista was just getting in deeper and deeper.
"Wait-a-minute now," the officer said coming back over to DX, "I just spoke to my colleague and he said that the boy changed his story. Batista didn't attack him, a monster looking like the Batista tattoo did," the officer shook his head, "I'm sorry I wasted your time gentlemen this kid obviously has an over-active imagination,"
The officer left but the sickening feeling in Shawn and Hunter's stomach didn't; the kid didn't have an over-active imagination at all. He was right on the money.
