Before John could reveal the name of the woman who occupied his dreams, his thoughts, his mind and his life, Randy's phone started ringing.

The Apex Predator groaned annoyingly.

"Sorry man," Randy gave his best friend an apologetic look. He picked his phone up and looked at the flashing screen, "Shit! It's Pam. I gotta get that."

John nodded in understanding. Randy stood up from the table and John's eyes were glued to him. Randy paced nervously up and down the lobby, anxiety written across his face. John shook his head, letting out a deep sigh. He knew that Randy's marriage was the same crap as his, but the good thing in John's one was that he didn't have any kids. At least this fact did not make him feel helpless. Not that he didn't feel bad having an affair behind his wife's back, just the contrary. He hated lying… but things with Lia were unbearable the last two years and he reached the point where he just wanted to leave all his scruples and fly on the wings of love with the girl who brought him back the faith of love.

For Randy however, things were more complicated. His little daughter was his whole world. He knew that his best friend would have divorced a long time ago, if it wasn't for Ali. His wife Pam was way worse than Lia. At least John's wife didn't make any scandals in front of his colleagues or bursting out of jealousy in public. Lia Cena was too busy having her own life to spend of course his money.

John didn't miss the angry look on Randy's face, when he hung up the phone and went back.

"Is everything all right?" John asked worried.

"Nothing is alright," Randy replied in a desperate voice, "Ali is sick. And Pam said she's been crying all night long. Now Ali wants me to be there. I don't know what to do anymore."

"It's a shitty situation, man," John commented sympathetically.

"Sorry, bro… I know you wanted to talk…"

The face of WWE interrupted his friend, waving his hand,"No , Randy. Don't worry. We'll talk about that later. You've got much bigger problems than I do."

"I'll call you later, bro," Randy promised.

As he got his water he went back to his room. He found Maria in the bed, sipping of her coffee her knees were pressed against her chest.

She smiled warmly as she saw him, "Wow! You are fast."

Randy looked at her, his eyes were filled with sadness.

"Is everything ok?" Maria worried immediately, "Is there something wrong with John?"

"It's not John," He shook his head.

"What's wrong, Randy?" Maria put the cup on the nightstand and shuffled on her knees to get near him.

"Pam called," He finally admitted.

"Oh?" At hearing his wife's name her heart started beating faster.

"Ali is sick and she has been crying all night because she thinks that I don't love her," Randy said helplessly.

"Oh, Randy, I'm so sorry," She said sympathetically, "You must go to her."

"I can't," He shook his head slowly.

"Of course you can," She retorted.

"What about the Promo tour?" He demanded, "I can't just leave. You know Vince. He'll kill me."

"But you've got a damn serious reason to do it," Maria insisted.

"Baby, I also want to see my little girl, but….."

"This could be a wonderful surprise for her. I'm sure she would feel much better when she sees you. You have no appearance until tomorrow evening. If you catch the plane now, you'll be home with Ali tonight. You can come back tomorrow and you'll be on time for the show."

"I've got an autograph signing today," He reminder her.

"I'll think of something. If something goes wrong, I'll talk to Hunter. He'll understand," She assured him.

Randy still didn't look convinced, "I'm not sure this is a good idea, babe."

"C'mon. You don't have much time," Maria noticed, not really paying attention to what he just said, "If you don't hurry up we won't make it," Saying that, she stood up from the bed, "I'll call the airport now and get a plane ticket and you prepare your luggage," She ordered.

"I don't need any luggage," Randy said, with a shrug," I'm just worried about Hunter."

"He is a dad too and you know very well that he would do anything for his girls. The only person who could understand, it would be him," Maria calmed him.

Randy stared at Maria amazed as she grabbed the phone to book his flight. He couldn't describe the feelings that overwhelmed him right in the moment. If Maria hadn't persuade him, he would not find the courage to get the risk. Of course, his daughter was everything for him, but he couldn't allow any more mistakes and he couldn't risk loosing this job.

Randy definitely had some luck because Maria found a ticket for him and the airplane was leaving in 2 hours.

"Come here," He said as gently as he could, slowly pulling her into a hug, holding her. He then cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes, "Thank you," He whispered softly.

She smiled sweetly, "Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything here. You just stay calm and make Ali happy."

He nodded silently as he leaned in closer giving her a gentle kiss on the lips.

"Call me if you can to tell me how she's doing, alright?" She demanded.

"I'll do it," He promised, "If something goes wrong…." Randy couldn't finish his sentence.

"Nothing will go wrong," She assured him.

"Ok."

"I'll clean the mess here and then I'll leave your room without being seen," She informed him.

Rick Flair was sitting comfortably on a big terrace in the hotel enjoying the beautiful view in front of him. The perky waitress has been doing anything for the last 30 minutes to show him her well-shaped body. The only thought that was bothering The nature boy now was whether 35 years age difference was something he would have to worry. Anyway, he couldn't find the right answer because he felt someone passing behind him like a fury and took a seat hiding the real temptation exposed before his eyes.

"Maria, dear…" Before he could say anything else, Maria cut him off.

Her eyes were wide and she breathed heavily, "We have a problem, "She announced.

"Have we?" Rick looked at her confused.

Maria nodded giving him a serious look.

"Look, if it is because of the comment I've made to that lady's maid this morning," Rick began, trying to justify himself,"… She just …"

"It's not that," Maria quickly said.

"Oh? She didn't complain… Great!" Rick released a deep sigh of relief, "So, what's the problem?" He blinked at her curiously.

"Randy's daughter is sick and he got the airplane to see her," Maria revealed.

"He did what?"Rick exclaimed. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"I know… I know…But I think he did the right thing. His daughter is sick, Rick."

"I couldn't agree more with you, Princess. But are you aware of the consequences when Vince knows?"

"He doesn't need to know."

"We are talking about Vince Mc Mahon here, Maria," Rick pointed out in a very serious voice, "He has ears and eyes everywhere. Hard to imagine how something like this could remain hidden."

"We'll talk to Hunter."

"We?" Rick raised an eyebrow at her.

"I need your help. Hunter is one of your best friends. You know how much he respects and loves you. Please, Rick," She looked at him with her best puppy dog eyes.

The older man shook his head, sighing heavily, "For this business, sugar, the friendship doesn't count."

"For Hunter does," She retorted, and then stated, "He is different."

"Alright," Rick yielded, "But don't say I didn't warn you. So, what's the plan?"

"We'll call him and…."

"No need. He is here," Rick interrupted her abruptly.

The ex WWE diva lifted her head up to see Triple H approaching them.

"I'm glad to see you guys," He greeted them cheerfully.

"How are you doing, man?" Rick asked nervously.

"Fine. The Promo tour goes perfectly," Hunter informed them with a content smile.

"That's great," Rick commented.

"Well guys. See you later," Hunter said and turned to leave.

"H, wait!" Maria stopped him.

"What's up, sweetheart?" He curiously titled his head.

"I… I… need to tell you something," Maria did her best to stop the shaking of her voice.

"Can we leave it for later?" He demanded, "I've got an appointment in fifteen minutes, I'd better go."

"It's important," Maria insisted.

"Ok, I'm all ears," He agreed, "Just make it quick."

Maria looked at Rick then turned to Triple H. She took a deep breath before speaking, "Randy's daughterissickand I convincedhimtocatch the firstplaneandgo home," She shot the words so quickly that for a moment she wasn't sure whether Hunter understood what she had said. He just stared at her without showing any reaction.

"Listen Trips," Rick took the opportunity to involve himself in the conversation, "I know the happening is out of the rules, but I support this decision. The kid works really hard. You are dad as well, and you can put yourself in his shoes. We don't expect you to accept it but we hope that you can understand."

"He has a contract," Triple H pointed out dryly.

"Hunter, just don't punish him. This is my fault. I persuaded him to go," Maria told him.

Hunter glared at her, "Since when you've got the rights to persuade people to do things?"

"I… just… "Her words caught several times in her throat, but she managed to choke them out, "You had to see him. I'm really sorry… but don't let him being suspended, please. I am responsible. I am to blame. For all of it."

"Well then, after you have made this mess, you are going to sort it out," He was looking at her intensely.

She nodded briskly," I'll do anything."

"If Vince knows…" Hunter said in a low, slightly menacing voice.

"Please, I'm begging you, H. Don't tell Vince. I'll do anything you want me to do…"

"Randy is having an autograph signing," Hunter glanced at his watch, "In just two short hours. And I can't cancel it."

"We could think of something."

"Not we, you!" Hunter emphasized and then leaned forward, "Find someone to replace him," He hissed.

"I'll do it… yeah… I'll do it!" She declared.

Before leaving, he looked back at Maria, "Oh and Princess, one more thing. Don't even think to replace him with some newbie," He said giving her a smirk, "If you don't want the guy to get into trouble, you should convince someone from his rank. Better be someone Orton's fans would love to see. I don't want to deal with disappointed girls who cut off their veins because of Orton's missing."

Maria gulped, "Ok."

"I wish you good luck, you will definitely need it," Saying that Hunter left the ex wee diva staring after him, her eyes wide open.

Maria turned her face to Rick, "He took it well, didn't he?"

"We will see. It depends a lot on who we are going to find to replace Randy,"Rick sighed, "And," He looked at his watch, "We don't have much time," He commented worried as he pulled out his laptop, checking the list for the events that the superstars had that day.

"Cena- busy," He started reading, "Sheamus- busy, Del Rio- busy…."

At this moment, Maria's eyes fell on the man who just showed up. A mysterious smile lit up her face.

"What about the WWE Champion?" She asked slowly.

"Available," Rick replied.

"Well, I think we found our man," She smirked.

"Are you going to ask Punk?" Rick asked surprised.

"Yep," She confirmed, "Wish me luck."

Maria headed straight towards the table where Phil had just taken a seat.

As he saw her, a small smile spread across his lips, "Ria, hey," He greeted her not even trying to hide his delight.

"Hi Phil," She greeted him back.

"I was worried about you," He said, looking at her in concern.

"Yeah," Maria mumbled, embarrassed," I'm sorry about last night. I don't know why I let myself drink so much. When I woke up this morning, I had a hell of a headache, possibly one of the worst headaches that I ever had."

"But you look great now," He complimented her.

"Thank you," She smiled shyly, and she put some hair behind her ear, "Phil, I…" She paused for a few seconds and then finally asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"

Phil looked at her curiously, "Are you asking me out?"

"Uh…not exactly," A nervous laugh escaped Maria's lips, "There is a little problem. Randy's daughter got sick and he had to fly back to St Louis urgently. Someone should replace him and meet the fans," She explained.

"I see," He nodded thoughtfully.

She bit her bottom lip nervously, "I was wondering if you would agree to do it…"

"Do you have a second job for which I'm not aware of?" He chuckled, "I think you make a great administrative manager," Phil said jokingly.

"Funny," Maria rolled her eyes, "The truth is that I encouraged Randy to leave the promo tour and now Hunter made me find someone else to show instead of Randy in the autograph signing. Otherwise you know the consequences," She finished sighing.

Phil gave her a suspicious look, "Since when you and Orton are so close?"

"We aren't that close," Maria instantly denied, "I just saw him this morning and I advised him to go and see his daughter. That's it."

Phil stared at her for a few seconds, "Ok, I'll do it," He eventually said.

Maria shrieked with joy, while jumping over him. She gave him a big hug and kissed him on his cheek, "Aw, Phil, you are great! Thank you, thank you."

"I'll do it… but… on one condition," He smirked.

"What condition?" She looked at him

"You owe me a dinner," He winked at her.

"You have it!" She smiled at him and kissed his cheek again, "Thank you, Phil."

"Anything for you, baby."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

During all the flight, Randy's heart was sinking in anxiety. He tortured himself every day because of Ali and the fact he was not there for her, but he would not give up his job. He wanted to secure a good future for his daughter. The only thought that could make him smile now was Maria. She was amazing and yes Maria Kanellis was the only reason he had remained sane over the last weeks.

When he landed, he couldn't wait to get off. He literally ran through the air-bridge and out into the airport. He didn't have any luggage so he exited the airport very fast. He immediately spotted a taxicab and ran up to it. Once he got inside, he made a call to Maria. He needn't wait much, because she picked up after the second ring.

Just hearing her voice made his heart quicken, "Hey, baby! I'm in the cab, on my way home."

"Great! How was the flight?"

"Boring," He groaned, "How are the things?"

"Perfect. No need to worry. I found who to replace you and Hunter looks satisfied," She informed him.

"You know you are awesome, right?"

Maria couldn'thelp the big smile that spread across her face, "I can imagine the look on Ali's face when she sees you."

"Yeah, especially when she sees the present I got for her from the air plane," Randy chuckled.

"Oh, I bet she'll love it," Maria chuckled.

"Ria?"

"Yeah…"

"Thanks again," He said softly.

"There's nothing to thank me for, Randy."

"I'll call you later, ok?"

"I'll wait. Bye, Randy!"

"Bye, gorgeous," Randy hung up as he leaned his head back against the car seat.

The taxi driver's voice snapped him out of his thoughts, "By the look on your face, Sir, it seems that the girl is worth it."

Randy's eyes glanced up to the rear view mirrow as he saw a smirk appear across the taxi driver's lips.

The Viper smiled a little and then mumbled in a low barely audible voice, "Yes, she is absolutely worth it."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"John, please, tell me. What's the surprise?"

"Patience, babe," He winked at her, his lips parting into his signature smile, flashing his dimples.

"Is it a nice one?" She asked as the wall hit her back.

"What makes you think I'd make you a bad surprise?" He asked frowning. His eyes sank into hers a second before he leaned forward to capture her mouth. His tongue traced the seam of her lips as he encouraged them to open and allow him access. She shut her eyes and responded to his kiss eagerly. She let out a helpless whimper at the nice feeling. After a while, they broke the kiss to fill their lungs with air.

"The fact that you are an amazing kisser, Cena, wouldn't save your ass. Don't think I haven't seen what that blonde put in your pocket earlier today."

"What blonde?" John mumbled distractively, not bothering to remove his lips from her neck.

"The young reporter from the conference," She reminded him.

"Oh, that blonde, yeah," He pulled back a little to meet her eyes, "She was cute, wasn't she?"

"Seriously?" She raised her eyebrows at him.

"Well, of course not as cute as you," He smirked.

"Were you thinking about me while you were busy complimenting her microphone skills?"

"Hmmm… I can't help it… some blondes have a strange effect on me…" He punctuated hoarsely.

"Let's see whether you'll find it so funny when tonight you find your bed cold and empty," She shot an angry look at him.

"Oh, come on, baby girl… I was kidding…" He grinned at her, frankly speaking he really enjoyed to see her reaction every time he teased her, "You know there is no woman in the world that could make me as hard as you could do it. I love you…You are absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Suddenly he tilted her chin up with two fingers and the next thing she knew their lips were locked together.

She moaned into his mouth as his tongue dominated her mouth, "John, please someone could see us."

"Don't act like this doesn't turn you on,"He whispered into her ear before nibbling gently on the lobe.

"Everything about you is turning me on," She purred sexily.

"Baby, I'm seconds way from ravishing you in this hallway," He said groaning, as his hand slid lower, finding one of the slits in her skirt, and slipped under the fabric.

Using John's distraction, she managed to sneak away from him which caused his head to hit the wall.

"Patience, baby," She quoted him before she showed him her evil smirk.

"Evil woman," He hissed through clenched teeth.

"I love you too," She said sweetly, "See you later, John," Winking at him, she left him dealing with the big trouble in his pants.

A groan escaped his lips,"God, this woman will surely kill me someday."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Arriving at home, Randy paid the taxi driver and got out of the car. He stood motionlessly in front of his house. He was worried how he would find his little girl. He was concerned for her physical safety but he was more concerned for her mental state. As Pam told him how much Ali was suffering it killed him inside. He couldn't bare it. However, when he stepped in the big garden he was frankly perplexed. Instead of seeing his daughter sick in the bed, he saw her running happily and screaming loudly around with another little girl. She didn't look sick at all. Randy frowned in confusion. Not that seeing his daughter having fun and obviously happy didn't make him feel like he was in heaven, but he needed to know what was going on.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Allie's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Hey, little Princess!"

Ali ran towards him and jumped on him immediately with a loud scream. He picked her up and lifted her up in the air. Then hugged her tightly.

"Stop it daddy," She couldn't stop giggling, "Stop it. I can't breathe."

Finally, Randy put her down laughing with her.

"What are you doing here, daddy?'

"I came to see you."

"Really?"

"Yep. Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Of course, I'm. Come on daddy. I want you to meet my best friend Sofia," She grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the other girl, "Sofia, this is my dad."

"Nice to meet you , Sofia."

"Nice to meet you too, Sir Randy," The little girl said shyly.

He looked at her and then chuckled softly "sir Randy" ,WHAT?

"Daddy, Sofia and I play together every day," His daughter informed him.

"Oh, really? Have you been good girls?"

"Yes, have been," Both girls grinned happily and nodded their heads. Two ponytails bobbed in unison.

"Good. I have a surprise for you then."

The screams of the girls almost made Randy deaf. They started jumping around him exciting.

"What? What?" They asked impatiently, curiously peering into the bag he was holding.

Randy was thankful that he had gotten two huge stuffed toys so now he had a present for Ali's little friend as well.

At the sight of the toys, the children's eyes lit up with happiness. They started embracing them, "Thank you, daddy."

"Yeah, Thank you, Sir Randy."

"Well, Sofia, why don't you just call me Randy, deal?

"Deal."

"You can call him Sir Viper," Ali suggested and then burst out laughing.

"Funny," Randy rolled his eyes, "Where is mommy?"

"She is inside with Sofia's mom. They are busy planning the party for tomorrow."

"Party huh?"

"Yes, mom invited all the moms from school for a girl party. I get to go to Grandma and Grandpa's tomorrow. I'm so excited because grandpa made a tree house just for me. And uncle Nathan promised to help me furniture it. Isn't that fantastic?"

"It is, Princess. I'm so glad to see you happy. Mommy told me you've been sick. How are you feeling now?"

"Sick? The little girl confused, "I haven't been sick, daddy."

"You haven't?"

"No. I go to school every day, dad. In school Sofia and I learn together in one class sharing a desk . Ask her."

"Listen, sunshine, " Randy knelt down to Ali's level, and took his daughter's hand, "You know you are my little Princess, but I don't want you to cry. You are worrying your mother very much, Ali. You know daddy has to work and…."

Ali didn't let Randy finish, "But I never cry daddy. I miss you but I like to go to school and spend time with my friends. Don't get mad, daddy, but on the road it is not fun for me without my friends and my pretty room and my toys," She gave him a sweet smile.

As a slow realization overwhelmed him, Randy felt anger beginning to burn. So, everything has been a lie. An ugly fucking lie. Pam had just been laying him to make him feel bad and guilty. He was sick of her always doing this, it wasn't the first time he'd caught her out with her lies. It had been absolutely mortifying thinking of his daughter suffering because of him. Pam had really hit the roof this time.

"Dad," Ali's face got a worried look, "You are not mad at me, are you?"

"Of course not, "Randy made his voice sound a bit more controlled trying to calm himself down,"You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say things like that. I have to work and I'm sorry that I can't be with you most of the time."

"But, daddy, I love your job. And I'll tell you a secret," Allie leaned forward and whispered. "All the boys in school want to be friends with me because of you… Actually, because of John Cena , but they like you too," She let out a cute giggle escape her lips.

"I love you, Princess."

"I love you too daddy, can I go play with Sofia now?"

"Sure, go," He gave her a big kiss, before letting her go. Randy stood up and took a deep breath trying to calm his anger somewhat. He felt his vein pulsating at the side of his neck and he teetered on the verge of doing something stupid. He looked at his daughter, she looked so happy and Randy loved to watch her play. That helped him master his out burst of temper a bit. He walked up to the house making sure not to make any noise. When he heard his wife's careless laugh, anger rose inside him even more. He spotted her sitting with Sofia's mother and obviously having a lot of fun. Few minutes later, her smile vanished, as she became aware of Randy's presence. Se turned pale, and looked like she was going to faint.

"Randy… what… are… you… doing… home?" She asked in a trembling voice and the words had hardly escaped her mouth.

"I came to see my sick daughter who can't stop crying about me," He replied coldly.

The other woman realized she was caught in a very awkward situation, "I… uh…I'll leave you alone."

"No bother, lady. I'm leaving anyway."

"Randy, wait! I can explain," Pam tried to stop him.

"You can explain, huh?" Randy shouted his face was red with anger and his fists were clenched tightly, "How exactly? Telling me more lies? Yeah, you are good at that. How can you explain that you use your own child to make me feel guilty? What kind of person are you? No, what kind of mother are you?"

"Randy, I'm sorry," Pam's eyes filled with tears.

"This time you went too far … Do you know what you made me do? I've risked everything because of you sick mind."

"I did it because…." She tried to explain but he was too furious to let her do it.

"I don't want to hear your stupid excuses or your apologies! You don't have the word anymore for anything. Do you understand? From now on, you'll need to listen to me! And listen well, Pam, this is the end! I was waiting too long. Everything is over."

"Randy, please, don't…" Pam started sobbing isterically, but Randy didn't pay attention, "I can forgive everything, but to use our child against me." He turned his back to her and continued to move towards the door.

"Randy, wait! You can't just leave…. Randy…"

He could still hear her crying and how Sofia's mother was comforting her but he didn't care… not … anymore….

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Maria was trying hard to concentrate on the reading of her script, but without any success. She just couldn't stop thinking about Randy. She really hoped everything was all right with his daughter and that he would make her feel better. The noise of her phone ringing made her jump up in startle. She rushed to check the caller id and mumbled "Thank God" staring at the letters of his name flashing on the screen.

"Randy, hey," She answered her voice full of excitement.

"Hi baby girl,"

Something was wrong. She knew the way his voice sounded. Maria's heart sank into her stomach and she gripped the phone even tighter. "Randy, is everything all right?"

"No, Ria… nothing is alright…"

"God, Randy! How is Ali? What happened?"

"Ali is fine, baby. Everything has been a lie. Can you believe that my wife used our daughter to get to me? But it's over. I can't live like this anymore."

Maria had never seen him so upset, "Randy, just calm down, please. The important thing right now is that your little girl is perfectly fine. Where are you now?"

"At the airport. I'll catch the first airplane."

"Ok."

"Ria?"

"Yes."

"I need you…" He said in a low soft voice.

"I'm here, Randy. I'm here…..Just try to calm down for now, ok? And I'll be here waiting for you….."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Hunter rubbed his temples and turned his attention to the young man in front of him.

"This shit needs to stop, Randy. Seriously," He said.

"I'm just thinking about what I should do," Randy admitted tiredly.

"If there is anything I can do you can rely on me," The older man said sincerely.

"Thank you, man! I appreciate it. I'm sorry I left just like that," He said with guilt in his throat.

"Forget it. You need to thank Maria," Hunter told him.

Randy's face changed in the mention of the ex wwe diva. It didn't go unnoticed by Hunter.

"I know…" Randy nodded, "She is amazing."

"I don't want this happen again.I need to know what's going on in my people's lives. If you have a problem, call me first before you do something stupid." Triple H warned him.

"Yes, Trips, I'll," Randy promised.

"Look," Hunter opened his wallet, took out a key card and handed it to the other man, "You need to relax. This is the key from one of the luxurious apartments at the top of Hilton that Vince owns. There is a huge Jacuzzi, Spa room and all you need to sort out all the thoughts in your head."

"Are you sure? This is Vince's apartment," Randy said hesitatingly.

"Positive," Hunter nodded and Randy took the key card.

"Thanks, man! I owe you"

"What's up, guys?" Rick and Dave joined the two men.

Rick squeezed Randy's shoulder slightly, "How are you, kid?" He asked in concern.

"Don't ask, man. We'll talk about that later.I'm too tired to think about that shit right now." Randy stood up, taking the key and walked out of the room.

"Why are you smirking like that?" Rick looked at his boss suspiciously.

"Tell you later," Hunter said, "I gave the kid the key to the suite. I have no doubt this will help him ease his negative thoughts," He chuckled.

After Hunter left, Dave looked at Rick who had a worried expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" The animal demanded, "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I think I messed up," The nature boy confessed.

"Why? What have you done?" Dave didn't understand.

"I gave the key to the same suite to Cena," Rick explained.

"You have a key to Vince's apartment?!" Dave exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, Hunter gave me a duplicate key a long time ago."

Dave asked offended, "Why do I not have a duplicate key as well? This isn't fair…" He complained.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Randy got out the key card and slid it into the key card hole. The little light flashed green. He smiled at Maria softly before both stepping inside. As the door closed behind them, Randy and Maria froze.

"Uh… John?" Randy mumbled, "What are you doing here?" He asked as he saw his best friend only in a towel to walk out of the spa room.

"Me? What you are doing here, Randy and... Maria?" John looked at them shocked.

Before Randy could reply, the bathroom door opened, making The Viper's mouth open wide as he blinked few times slowly. Maria opened her eyes as wide as they would go. She just could not believe what just she saw.

"Eve?"
