A new girl in town

Chapter 20

J.J./Kane/Sammy/Taker/Kayla's friends

Wade moved quickly in front of the girls.

"Quick, find somewhere to hide," he whispered.

"I knew it." Vince said as he stepped around the corner and saw three people.

"Get out there!" Vince said indicating the main room.

"Look at this two freaks and their keeper they must be friends of yours Kane." Vince said when he saw them in the light.

"Yes" Kane said without hesitation.

"This is all on me, man," Wade insisted.

"If I hadn't gone in to fanboy mode, none of this would be happening," he added "Before you say anything, can you please hear me out?" Wade asked.

"We're a band. Cassie and I are also music producers.

"Jim Jonston called our label. He's working on a hip hop theme for one of your shows and his attempts have been. . .kind of awful. So he asked us to come in.

"I know that we shouldn't have wandered off, but Cassie and I are fans of these guys and we couldn't resist saying hi," Wade said.

"I'm a pretty big fan of yours as well, sir. You've created an empire here," Wade added, hoping that he wasn't laying it on too thick.

"I followed him around and refused to leave. Then he came here, I got the girls and refused to leave some more," Wade added with a grin.

"I don't care who you are. You don't belong backstage. Get out and out of the arena." Vince said sternly.

"No." Taker said. "They're staying right here until the show. I've already got their tickets front row."

He does? J.J. thought. When did he get those?

What the fuck? Why would he do that? Wade wondered.

Oh my god! Front row! How is this even my life? Cassie thought.

I guess if that's the rout he wants to go then I can't complain. Vanessa decided.

"I want them out of here!" Vince said. "Now!"

Taker sighed.

"They are here as our guests you are not throwing them out." Taker said.

"I'm sending security to walk them out then I'm going to talk to Jim. They are never playing on this show." Vince said.

"You send security Vince and they'll be crawling away. Our guests are not leaving." Kane said sternly.

Vince sputtered and turned redder with the vein pulsing in his forehead. Then he walked out slamming the door behind him.

"I'll be right back." Taker said walking out of the locker room behind Vince.
"Well, that went well," Cassie said sarcastically.

Then her phone rang the 'clients only' ring and she started a quiet conversation.

"I'll make sure he's reimbursed for the tickets. Does he use online banking?" Wade asked as he took out his phone.

"No need to reimburse him. We get a certain number of tickets at every event. Usually front row." Kane said. "He probably just went get them."

"Yeah but aren't you supposed to let them know the event before that you want them." J.J. asked worried that he wouldn't be able to get them.

"Would you say no to him." Kane laughed.

"No I guess I wouldn't." J.J. said laughing as well.

Wade shrugged.

"Good fuckin' deal," he said.

"I'm so gonna become a fuckin' wrestler," he added.

Then he began rambling about a Deadpool gimmick and stealing the movie role from Ryan Renolds. Vanessa rolled her eyes.

"Shut the fuck up, Wade," she said before he could really get going.

Kane just shook his head and smiled at their antics.

Somehow I can't see him as a wrestler. Sure he's big enough and given his military background he can probably pull off the moves. But I can't see him away from his life all the time. Kane thought.

"I'm on the phone! With a client in crisis!" Cassie snapped. Then she wandered across the room away from the group as she continued to talk in a quiet, soothing voice.

Wade saw Kane looking at him again.

What did I do now? Wade wondered. Maybe he's wondering about Cassie?

"She's a social worker. Her life is always in fuckin' crisis," Wade told Kane.

Kane shrugged.

"Look, I'm sorry about whatever happened earlier," Wade tried again.

I really want to keep going but I shouldn't. Wade thought. But this shit needs to be solved and it needs to be solved right now. He's a cool guy and I really want him to like us.

Kane smiled behind his mask and shook his head.

"I misunderstood." Kane said. "My fault not yours."

"It's actually a good thing." Kane said.

Wade shrugged.

"Next time let me know, yeah? I don't have awesome powers; unfortunately I can't read your mind," he said. Then he extended a hand.

"Friends again?" he asked with a grin.

Shit, I hope I'm not overstepping here. He thought. But I like this guy.

Kane laughed softly and shook his hand.

"How do you entertain yourself while you're here? Do you guys work out or do you have a phone or something?" Wade asked.

"I don't have a phone." Kane said. "Taker and I usually talk strategy Sammy works on her latest book and J.J. is usually busy with something." Kane said. "Then we have the meetings, and we watch the event to keep up with everyone's new moves."

He doesn't have a phone. Wade thought but decided not to say anything. I don't need to create another misunderstanding he decided.

"That's cool. Mind if I play a little?" he asked gesturing over at his guitar.

I better not ware him out by asking him all of the questions I've got. Wade thought.

"Vince already knows you're here." Kane said with a shrug.

"J.J. and I have to go to the talent meeting now." Kane said then he laughed. "Try to behave."

Wade laughed.

"I'll try my best, man," he said. Then he got his guitar and began playing around with cords for a new song.

J.J. and Kane walked out and headed to the meeting. They saw Taker walking toward them and together they entered the room taking their usual positions.

Once Kane and J.J. had gone, Wade beckoned the girls over.

"I know we don't have the full band or equipment or anything, but do you girls want to jam anyway?" he asked.

They both agreed.

"Can you play Broken Hearted girl?" Cassie asked.

Wade thought for a moment and then began to pick out the song on his guitar.

"You are so Beyoncé," he said. Cassie smacked him in the back of the head, then she began to sing.

Vanessa added a harmony line to the bridge and chorus. They sounded amazing. They had very different voices but somehow always made it work. Wade thought that Cassie would kill this on stage with the full band and some pyro - maybe a a slinky black dress as well if he could ever convince her to wear one.

Kane/J.J./Taker/Vince

I hope Vince hasn't sent security to the dressing room knowing we won't be there now. Kane thought.

Vince immediately went to the podium and began yelling at people.

"Some people." He added looking at Kane, J.J. and Taker in turn. "Think it's ok to bring outsiders into the locker room area. This will not be tolerated. If I hear of it happening again the person or persons responsible will face a heavy fine." He said.

None of the three had a response.

Vince continued on for several more minutes. Then released them with a grunt.

"Not you three." Vince said to Kane J.J. and Taker.

They stopped and turned to look at them their faces clearly showing that they didn't give a shit what he had to say.

"Sit down." Vince demanded.

None of them sat.

"Fine have it your way." Vince said sounding pissed off.

He began to berate them about everything they had ever done to piss him off lately. Including but not exclusively tonight's incident.

Sammy/Kayla's friends.

Is the meeting done? Sammy wondered hearing voices in the hall.

Just then the door burst open and in rushed Chyna, Tori and Lita.

Without pausing at all they went at Sammy knocking her computer to the floor and grabbing her.

"You're dead!" Lita said.

"How dare you spread rumors around about me." She said punching Sammy in the face.

Sammy tried to protect herself but against three wrestlers she didn't have a chance.

"What the fuck?" Wade yelled as Chyna, Tori and Lita attacked Sammy. He pushed Vanessa and Cassie safely off to the side then jumped in to the fray.

He tried to break it up without being physical about it, but Chyna took one look at his face and went gunning for him. Shit was on.

He used every dirty trick he could think of to try and subdue the crazy women.

Sammy continued to fight not realizing that Wade had entered the fight.

But Chyna, at least, knew her stuff. Tori had screamed at the site of him and backed off but Lita and Chyna were fearless.

Sammy suddenly found herself on the floor with Lita on top of her punching her in the face.

She tried to block the blows while simultaneously trying to throw her off. But it was not working.

Tori regained her confidence then and began to kick Sammy.

Then he got an idea.

He grabbed Cassie's gigantic bag off the floor and swung it at the back of Lita's head. Luckily, it connected. Hard.

Then he picked up his guitar.

Sorry, baby. He thought. But it's all in good service.

Then he smashed the guitar over Chyna's head.

"Yes!" he yelled as the guitar shattered. He'd always wanted to do that.

Then he felt someone jump on to his back.

Tori began to try and choke out the guy who had just taken out Lita and Chyna from behind.

Clinging to his back she wrapped her arm around his throat and yanked hard.

"Jesus Christ, you stupid Bitch! Why didn't you use your brain and stay away?" Wade yelled.

"Oh wait, you're a blond and X - Pac's dumb bitch. I forgot," he added as she attempted to choke him to death.

"That's not how this is gonna work," he growled. How the fuck was he supposed to get her off his back?

"You FREAK. I'm going to scratch your eyes out so you'll never have to see yourself in a mirror again.." She yelled in his ear.

Wade laughed hysterically.

"Do I scare you, little girl? Cause I guarantee that this face isn't the only thing that's fucked up about me. I've got scars. . .everywhere else, too. And I haven't even gotten to the shit inside my head yet," Wade said.

Then, suddenly, Vanessa was behind him. She got her arms around Tori's neck and got her in to a choke hold.

Wade had taught it to her after seeing where she lived. He was surprised that she remembered it; that had been a long time ago.

Tori hasped for breath.

"No one gets to fuck with Wade. . .except for me and the girls," Vanessa said calmly as Tori struggled in her grip.

Tori let go of Wade and struggled in Vanessa's grip clawing at her arms in an attempt to get her to let go.

"No, I don't think so," Cassie said as she carefully aimed her folded cane at the back of Tori's head.

"What the fuck, Cassie?" Wade yelled.

"Hey, I had to be part of the action. I couldn't resist," Cassie said.

Tori went limp in Vanessa's arms.

Just then Kane Taker and J.J. walked into the locker room.

"What the hell is going on?" Taker demanded.
