Chapter 5- The odd Sheamus
They had spent most of their day at a carnival of all things. Nexus looked to Sheamus as if he were mad. Yet the Irish man smiled. "What? Don't tell me you fellas don't like games! I love games!"
"Why the hell are we here?" demanded Wade.
Sheamus smiled once more. "I know of a little booth, they have the best toys, I like to clear them out and give them to the local hospital near by. Kane and I did that one time, it was the most fun I had. Not to mention, with you boys, we can get so many toys for the kids!"
"Is that why we're here? Community services?" asked Gabriel.
"Not community service fella, just doing something good. Now come on and let's see that aim of yours!"
For the day, Sheamus had kept Nexus close to him and made them play the games, they stopped and signed autographs as well despite the orders before that they weren't suppose to. Wade however kept looking over his shoulder, feeling the sensation that he was being watched and knew something was afoot. By mid afternoon, he could no longer resist the sensation he felt and managed to slip away from the watchful Irishman.
Wade had gone behind one of the carnival rides where he could feel it. Someone lingered in the shadows. "Hey! Who the bloody hell are you? Why are you following me!" he called.
At first, there was nothing but silence. Until a small clap came from the darkness. Out emerged a lone man who applauded Barrett. "A gifted one I see. Not bad, not bad at all"
"Gifted?" Wade demanded.
The man came closer yet kept his face hidden. "Hunters have the ability to sense great things, including those of the supernatural. It's not every day I have seen a hunter like yourself. You sense something great in your fellow peers, don't you?" he asked.
At first Barrett didn't know what to say or how to explain himself, but all he could do was nod his head. "Your instincts are correct. You sense it in one named John Cena, don't you? For he is one of great… power"
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" he asked.
The man only smiled. "I want to nurture your gift, but you need to see the truth in the one named Cena. You need to bring him to your fellow hunters." Wade pondered this for a moment.
"Do you think I was born yesterday? Do you honestly think that I am going to just take the words of a man in a shadow and be lured! I think not!" Before Wade could turn away, he found his exits were blocked. He was cornered as the men came closer.
"You don't understand, you don't have a choice…"
Wade recalled being struck in the back of his head, and hit the ground hard…
