Ok we are getting in to it now enjoy
Waking up on the day of Raw Mickie normally felt excited, but not today, today she just felt nervous. A lot was riding on their success or failure, in fact it could be a matter of life or death. Turning over on her side, she saw the sun was barely above the horizon, she and set her alarm for six, wanting to get up and in the shower before Randy woke up. Getting up quietly she headed for the bathroom looking forward to a nice long hot shower. Randy kept his eyes closed, he knew she had gotten up early on purpose so that she could be alone for a while. He chose not to disappoint her, she had had no alone time for a long time now and Randy knew that she valued it, he was not adverse to being alone with his thoughts or just a good book himself. He knew Mickie was thinking about tonight, how could she not be, it had been the only thing on his mind since they had arranged it yesterday. She needed to sort all this out in her head, and then he was sure she would discuss it with him. Mickie let the water wake her up, she used her lemon shampoo, the fragrance always invigorated her after all she did have a match tonight against Maria and she wanted to win. Stepping out of the shower she could here movement from the other room and she knew Randy was up. Well they did have a meeting at eight and it was just before seven. "I am nearly done." Mickie called out as she quickly towel dried her hair and wrapped a larger one around her body. Coming out into the main room she felt a cool breeze and she shivered slightly. "Morning." Randy said trying not to focus on her towel clad body. "Hey there you better get a move on or we are going to be late." Mickie said as she noticed him purposely not looking at her. "Yeah won't be a second, unlike you I don't try to disappear down the plug hole when I have a shower." He said grinning at her to make sure she knew he was kidding. "No you're quite content to wallow in your own smell." She smiled back at him and poked her tongue out. Randy let out a scoff and went in to the bathroom.
Ted and Cody were already in their seats when Randy and Mickie walked in, in fact all the Raw roster were, thankfully Vince and Stephanie were not there yet. "Late much?" Ted whispered to them. "Ha not my fault this time Randy took ages in the shower." Mickie said looking at her tall companion. "Figures." Cody smiled at her. Before Randy could defend himself Vince and Stephanie came in. "Morning all." Vince started and they all sat down. "I don't have to tell you guys about what has been going on but I do have something's I need to discuss about security at tonight's show. Vince got out his papers from his briefcase. "The Atlanta police will be here on site all day, they will be conducting locker room searches, random spot checks on bags and will be escorting your guys around the arena. You must when not competing remain in your locker rooms, there will be no exceptions." Vince said looking around at the unhappy faces. "How are we supposed to prepare for a match if we can't go anywhere?" Dave asked crossing his arms. "I know some of you have your rituals, but I am afraid I am much more concerned with you staying alive." Vince said looking around to see if there were anymore questions. "I am sure I want any cop examining my smalls." Alicia said not looking happy at all about the situation. "Well it's just something you will have to live with." Stephanie piped up, she had not said anything all meeting, until now she had been looking over at Mickie who was looking right back. "What about the backstage pieces, wont it look a little weird with deserted corridors?" Mickie said not taking her eyes off Stephanie. "We sort that out when we get there, they will have to be set up carefully, we may even need to pre record them." Vince said but he didn't sound too happy about that, as it meant they could do no after match interviews. "Is there anything else?" Vince asked standing up, as he saw no other questions he walked out of the room, but Stephanie stayed behind and spoke with Hunter. Mickie knew that they had to talk to Stephanie, this arrangement was going to throw their plans right out the window. Randy was one step ahead of her though, he and made his way over to the couple as the others all left the room. "Hi guys" Stephanie said as she turned to face them. "We need to talk." Randy said looking at the woman trying to convey its importance. "Ok Hunter knows everything so go ahead." Randy sighed, but he continued, he knew he could trust Hunter even if he didn't like him very much. "We need to get into Dave and Adams locker room to steal their hotel keys so we can look around." Stephanie looked stunned for a second then said. "Ok why do you need their keys?" Mickie stepped forward and put her hand on the taller woman's arm. "We have narrowed down the suspects, we know whoever is killing our friends is someone who was in a relationship with Kelly or wanted to be, the others were just revenge and collateral damage, we need to know if these guys have photos of her letters, clothes." She said looking Stephanie in the eyes. Stephanie could not believe the police had not picked up on this, that these wrestlers were closer to finding this killer than they were. "Ok I can get you guys the keys, who do I need to give them to?" Stephanie looked around at the small group. "That would be us" Ted said pointing to himself and Cody. "We are going in while Randy and Mickie distract them." Cody elaborated. "We also need to get into their locker rooms to check their bags." Randy asked and looked at Hunter who spoke up first. "I think I know how we can do that. We can do a segment with Ted and Cody smashing up the locker room, as a warning to stay away from you Randy." Randy had to admit it was a good idea, thank god Dave and Adam were sharing a locker room right now. "That's great thank you." Mickie said smiling at the couple. "We want this solved, its no good for anyone to be living like this." Stephanie said looking at the floor then back up at Mickie. "You guys be careful ok." She said looking at all four faces, then all four made their way back to the hotel. All that was left to do now was wait for tonight when they could put their plan into action.
Five o'clock came and Mickie was in the Legacy locker room, Stephanie had already been round and given the boys the room keys. Ted and Cody were off in a Tag team match against Johnny and Dolph, who ever thought those two would get along. She thought to herself smiling. "What are you grinning about Ted and Cody are loosing." Randy said noticing her smile. "Oh I was just thinking about Johnny and Dolph getting along. Its not good about Ted and Cody I am sure when Ted gets back in he will kick some arse." Randy just nodded it was pretty funny. Finally Ted did get back in and he kicked Dolph's arse for the win. "Yes at last they finally got one over on those two. Randy said punching the air. "Ok calm down." Mickie said amused at his reaction. Ted and Cody would not be coming back yet as they had to go straight back to filming the locker room scene, they needed the extra time to do some snooping around but Adam and Dave were told it was for lighting. "You think they will find anything?" Randy said suddenly throwing Mickie out of her thoughts. "On one hand I hope so, on the other I hope they don't, it's so hard when you are talking about people who are your friends." Mickie said and Randy knew how she was feeling. "I know I want to put and end to all of this, but to think it is one of those guys it makes me feel sick." Randy replied as a knock came at the door. "Come in." Mickie called "Miss James I am here to take you to your match." A young cop said blushing at her. "Ok thanks." Mickie said ignoring the looks he was giving her, she was used to it. "Ok I am going to teach Maria a lesson, catch you later." Mickie said winking at Randy and heading off. Randy was sure Mickie would win, Maria was no match for her and he was going to enjoy watching it. He was however aware he was now on his own, there was a cop stationed at the end of the hall and no one was allowed to walk around, but Randy couldn't help but to hope Ted and Cody got back soon.
Ted and Cody were looking through Dave's and Adams belongings. "Anything?" Ted asked as he closed Dave's bag. "Nope nothing." Cody replied standing up with a sigh. "me either, it was unlikely they would be keeping anything here." Ted said as the door opened and the camera crew walked in. "Show time." Ted said smiling broadly. The boys began to throw things around, ripping up fake clothes and smashing the mirror, covering the floor with one of the guy's shampoo. "That will scare them off for now." Ted said in a menacing voice to Cody who just shook his head as they walked out of the room slamming the door behind them. "Ok guys that's a wrap." The backstage director told them. "That was fun." Ted said putting his arm around Cody's shoulders. "Yeah let's go see Randy and how Mickie is getting on." He said knowing Randy would be alone, and although the big man would never admit it he was probably nervous. They made there way back to the locker room with their escorting police officer. "I am sure Mickie has won already." Ted said as the police officer they were walking with nodded. "You think Mickie is good to a." Ted said smiling at the man. "God yes and she is so hot." He smiled at them. "Ok man she is our friend its kind of weird." Cody said scrunching up his face at the thought. "Sorry but this is so unreal, I have loved wrestling all my life and now I am here walking you guys around." He said a large smile on his face. "Yeah that is pretty cool, shame its under these circumstances a." Ted said remembering exactly why they were all here. "Yeah it is pretty sick, I used to love Rey as well there are a lot of gutted fans out there." He said not looking quite so happy anymore. They had arrived at the Legacy locker room. "We know but I am sure you guys will catch whoever is doing this." Cody said offering the cop words of support. "Just doing my job, well I am off I have to escort Miss James back here." He said his face immediately cheering up. Ted just opened the door to Randy standing over the TV. "Come on stop show boating and pin her." He shouted at the TV. Ted and Cody just smiled as they saw Mickie prancing around the ring heading for the top rope. "Now you are showing off." Randy said crossing his arms. Mickie had set Maria up for a Swanton bomb. "Oh my go she is going to do it I can't watch." Randy said placing his hand over his eyes but still peeking through his fingers. "She hit it yes, yes." Randy said shouting at anyone who was listening. Ted and Cody were doing a victory dance and the WWE universe was going wild. "Did you every see anything like it." King said on commentary as Mickie got the 123. Mickie stood proud in the middle of the ring hand held high, she was fighting back tears but one managed to escape as she helped Maria off the floor. Randy could see the single tear running down Mickie's face, and he could feel his own cheeks starting to get wet. "Are you crying man?" Ted said. "No I had something in my eye. Randy said smiling at his friend. "Me too." Ted said and they both laughed. Holding up her women's title Mickie exited the arena. A new cop was waiting for her. "You were amazing Miss James." He said with no pretence, no looking at her chest just a genuine smile at her. "Thank you are you here to take me back?" She asked hoping he would be the one she liked him. "I am shall we go?" He said walking next to her. "Did you plan on doing that or did it just happen?" He asked as they walked. "I planned it, but the opportunity had to arise, it was kind of luck and judgement." She said smiling at him. "Umm I was wondering I don't like asking but could I get your autograph?" The cop said pulling out a 8x10 photo of her. "Of course you can." Mickie said smiling and stopped to sign the photo. "It is always good to meet a fan." She said handing him back his signed picture. "They say you should never meet you idols but this is amazing." He said smiling broadly at his signed photo. "And your even better looking up close." He said not making any move to walk. "Well thank you." Mickie said blushing, but she was aware of just how alone they were. "You don't suppose I can't believe I am going to do this but hey when will I get another chance like this, you don't suppose I could take you for a drink?" He said rambling because he was nervous. Mickie looked around suddenly uncomfortable. "Oh you know normally we are not allowed to date fans, and with things how they are at the moment I don't think it's a good idea." She said trying to let him down gently. "Oh that's ok." He sounded disappointed. He went to walk off, Mickie took hold of his arm and gently pulled him back. "Please don't take this the wrong way, you seem like a really nice guy, you didn't even check me out when we met." She said smiling at him and he grinned. "Maybe I am just that good at covert operations." He grinned at her and Mickie couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face. "Shall we go I bet those Legacy boys are wondering where you have got to. I do not want to end up on the wrong side of them." He said giving her a genuine smile. Mickie was almost regretting turning him down for that drink, when she remembered who was waiting for her at the locker room. She and Randy were not exactly an item, they had only kissed once, but there was something there, much more than a nice guy who didn't immediately see her as a sex object. "Thank you for the escort." Mickie said leaning up to give him a kiss on the cheek. "My pleasure." He said as he nearly exploded with the heat coming off his face. Just before he could say anything further the door burst open. "Get your arse in here champ." Randy said picking her up and spinning her round. "Randy put me down." She squealed. The cop just shook his head and walked off. "What were you thinking you could have killed yourself." Randy said putting her down and shaking his finger at her. "No way I had that move down. And you loved it." She said going inside to the welcoming arms of Ted and Cody. "So cool." Cody said as he released her. "I know did you here the crowd, they were so pumped up, your match against Hunter is going to be amazing." Mickie said turning to Randy who was all smiles. "I know I can't wait." He said moving off to get changed. "Hey I bet that cop was a happy guy." Ted said winking at Cody. "Yeah bet he will be having some pleasant dreams tonight." Cody said trying to wind Mickie up. "What do you guys mean?" Mickie said hoping no one saw her give the cop that kiss, even if it was only on the cheek. "We just got the impression he was a big fan." Ted said grinning at her. Mickie let out an exasperated sigh. "He was the perfect gentleman actually." She said felling no need to share with them the fact he asked her out. He was a nice guy he did not need these boys ribbing him over it. "Ok ok we were just playing." Ted said as Randy came back into the room. "Ok you know what to do, as soon as the match is over, Mickie you come to the arena, Ted, Cody you guys take the car, we will get Adam and Dave to give us a lift, that way we can go straight to the bar. Then when your done meet us down there and we can leave." Randy said looking at their faces. The room suddenly turned more serious. Mickie had forgotten about their engagement tonight and was grateful for the temporary amnesia, it had allowed her to be herself if only for a short time. "Ok it's settled we all know what we are doing." Randy continued until there was a knock at the door. "Mr Orton I am here to take you to your match." A big cop said opening the door. "Ok good luck man." Ted said and Cody patted him on the back. Mickie just gave him a wink and Randy left the room.
Randy match went well, Mickie had met Dave and Adam at the gorilla position as Randy was coming out having delivered a devastating RKO on Hunter. As Randy came out he looked tired but happy to see her. "Hey there did you see it?" He said grinning at her. "Yeah you did great, I met up with the boys here." She said clutching his arm and pointing to Dave and Adam, who inclined their heads at him. "Yeah hey guys." Randy said as Hunter walked past holding his neck. "Good match man." Dave said giving Hunter a smile as the four of them walked off to collect their things. "oh shit I forgot our locker room was trashed, we will have to grab showers at the hotel." Adam said opening their locker room door and seeing the mess. Mickie shot a quick glance at Randy, he had to come up with something fast. "Hey guys you can use our shower, its empty, Mickie can wait for us." Hoping the guys would agree with him. Yeah sure I don't want to get in a car with three sweaty men." Mickie said holding her nose. Randy looked at her and grinned and Dave gave her a gentle shove. "Yeah sure you fancy scrubbing my back?" Adam said winking at Mickie. Mickie just had to control a shiver that ran down her back. "I am not sure I could reach, Dave is more your size I am sure he could probably help you out." Mickie said poking her tongue out at the rated R superstar. "Oh yeah bring me into it." Dave said looking sulky as they grabbed their things. Once they had showered and changed they got into Dave's car and were headed off to the hotel. When they got there Mickie suggested they go straight to the bar, if she went back to the room right now she would probably fall asleep. They all agreed and left their stuff in the car, not needing anything until the morning. Sitting down in the bar a waitress came over. "What can I get you guys?" She said smiling widely. They all ordered a beer and the woman was off to get their drinks. "Happy sol" Dave said smiling at the woman who was making her way back to their table already. Placing the beers down the woman asked them to call her if they needed anything else and was gone. "We need to discuss not such happy things I am afraid." Randy said breaking the mood and leaning forward on the table. "We need to know things from you guys." Mickie said knowing she had to tread carefully, but they all knew why they were here. "Ok whatever we can do to get this guy." Dave said taking a swig of his beer. "Yeah not sure what we can do though, you guys seem to know much more than us." Adam said looking first at Randy then Mickie. "Maybe but all we have is suspicions, what we need to do is pool our information, so we can get this guy." Randy said giving Edge a small smile. "Ok what do you need?" They spent the next half an hour finding out that Dave and Adam could add nothing, they didn't know anything that Mickie and Randy hadn't already figure out. Just then Ted and Cody walked in. "Guys there is a phone call for you from Stephanie, she wants to talk to you both, she didn't sound too happy. "Damm it, ok guys we will speak to you later." Randy said giving a surreptitious wink. "Ok guys let us know what's going on." Dave said as he watched them walk away.
While Mickie and Randy were having there meeting Ted and Cody had split up to search the rooms. Ted felt a little vulnerable alone in Dave's room. He kept thinking any minute Dave would walk in and run him through with a six inch butcher knife. Ted knew what had to be done however and he carefully looked through Dave's things. He made sure he put everything back the way he found it. Looking in the last draw he found a photo of Randy and Dave at some party. He thought he saw Kelly in the background and it was blurry. "Well if that is all he has got of her its pretty thin material." Ted said out loud and suddenly realised someone might have heard him. Closing the drawer he listened for any noises. Getting up he moved to the door, opening it a crack he peered down the hallway, seeing it was clear he slipped out and locked the door walking off to find Cody. Cody was not having much of a better time in Adam's room, he had found nothing. As he was looking through the guys underwear drawer and thinking he always got stuck with the crappy jobs he came across something that should not have been there. The bra was royal blue with white lace trim, Cody thought it was a nice one, he lifted it up to his face and smelt it. It was a used one it smelt of a woman, this was not new and had been brought as a present. Cody didn't know what to do. If he took it Adam may discover its absence and put two and two together, but he had no idea if it was Kelly's or not, but Mickie might. "Cody?" A whisper came at the door and Cody nearly had a heart attack. "Shit Ted come in." Cody said clutching the bra. "Sorry man didn't mean to scare you, what you got?" Ted said spying the bra. "What's it look like I am not sure if it is Kelly's though." Cody said sharing the dilemma with his friend. "Take a photo of it and lets get the hell out of here." Ted said looking around nervously. "Good idea man." Cody said getting out his phone and taking a photo. He put the bra back where he had found it and they both got out of the room just as Ted's phone went off. "It's Randy we need to rescue them." Ted said looking at the text. Going down to the bar they spotted them in a corner and went over and using the prearranged get out they left Dave and Adam alone. Once in the elevator Randy turned to them both. "Well what did you find?" He said looking at them in hope. "I got nothing from Dave, but Cody found something." Ted said pointing to Cody who had his phone out. "Yeah Mickie do you recognise this?" He said showing her the photo of the bra. "Oh my god you found this in Adam's room?" Mickie said holding her hand to her mouth. "Yeah is it Kelly's?" Cody said excitedly. "No it's mine." Mickie exclaimed at the doors opened on their floor.
