"Mum!" Megan Benoit said with a laugh as she talked to her mother on her cellphone. She unlocked her apartment door. "No I'm not going to England. That's WCW. No but I'll have a bit of time off in a couple of weeks. Yes I'll bring Alex with me." She rolled her eyes. "I've got to go. Bye mum." She hung up.
"Why did you promise you'll take me?" Alex asked sounding a little taken aback.
"Because my mum has been bugging me for a month that she wants to meet you. I guess she wants to make sure her little girl isn't marrying some awful man."
"Gotcha." He said with a wink before pulling her in for a kiss. "And I thought passing your dad's inspection was tough."
"Don't worry she'll love you."
"That's good." He said taking his jacket off. "Are Cassidy and Athena due back any time soon?"
"I'm not totally sure. I know Cassie took a different flight and Athena's probably shopping. But for now we have the apartment all to ourselves." She said sitting down on the couch.
There was a knock on the door.
"Or did." Alex said opening the door to allow Danny in.
"I wasn't sure if anyone was here. I just got in. Hey Alex." He greeted him.
"Hey Danny." He said before sitting down on the couch next to Megan. "So how was your first couple of shows in a real company?"
"Great." He said with a grin. "I'm not too excited about not wrestling for the next couple of weeks though."
"Do you think they'd let you wrestle for the WWF?" Megan asked.
"No. They are trying to keep the companies as separate as possible so as to not confuse the fans."
"So what are you going to do with all your time off?" Alex asked putting his arm around Megan's shoulder.
"Spend time with my nieces. Mom's already called me and told me I'm expected for dinner Friday. Levi, Emma Leigh, and Sam are coming. Probably work out at Gold's Gym." He said with a shrug.
"Well I plan to enjoy these two days off." Megan said with a big smile.
Danny seemed to finally get the hint and went to the door. "If you need anything. Call me." He said and left.
"I thought he'd never leave." Alex said kissing Megan again.
Megan returned it before saying, "it's funny."
"What is?"
"Danny and I. We didn't get along at all when we were kids. My mum didn't make it much better for us since she didn't want me spending too much time with him. We didn't get along when we did see each other. We get along now, course we work for two different companies."
"Hey I like Danny." Alex said. "He's a lot like your dad."
"A lot of people say that." Megan agreed.
Alex leaned in for a kiss.
Eddy sat in the cabin in Kentucky that once hid four people. It felt weird to be there now, now that no one else lived there. The cabin did belong to Shane Douglas and he said he and his wife Carla came up there last month to clean it.
In the living room was Michael Erichson and his wife Tammy, Eric Bischoff, Eddy, Mark Calloway and Shane Douglas.
"You all know about Joanie Laurer being released. There was nothing we could do because her sentence was over. I have agents keeping an eye on her but there is some likelihood that her husband Sean Waltman may be released soon."
"Damn it." Shane said. "Is there anything we can do to keep him from being released?"
"Well since the only charges we have on him is assault, no there isn't." Michael said. "Nash won't be getting out any time soon since he did try to shoot Danny so at least we don't have to worry about that."
"I assume Polaco will be out also?" Tammy asked referring to Peter Polaco who had once wrestled as Justin Credible and had been arrested for assault along with Sean and Joanie.
"Right." Michael said.
"Is there anything being done to keep everyone safe?" Carla asked.
"Other then keeping an eye on everyone else, not much." Michael said. "The only bright side on this, Hickenbottom's attempts to appeal have been denied. Even from the grave, Vince is keeping that from happening." Michael said. "
"Athena's going to Europe right?" Eric asked Eddy.
"Yeah they leave in a few days."
"The FDA will be watching Laurer in case she tries to leave the country." Michael said. "At this point, that's all we can do. "Everyone needs to be on alert just in case anything does happen."
"With how things are going," Mark said. "and with our luck, something could."
No one disagreed with him.
