A new girl in town
Chapter 22
Kane/Taker/J.J./Sammy/Kayla's friends
"Is it broken?" Kane asked as Taker walked in.
"Yes and her orbital bone." Taker said sounding pissed.
"Shit." J.J. said. "That's gotta hurt."
"Pete gave her something for pain and she's asleep no but she's going to be hurting for a while." Taker said moving toward one of the couches.
Taker carefully laid her down then turned to the others.
"I want to thank you all for stepping in. She could have been much more seriously hurt if you hadn't." Taker said.
"You're welcome, man. You've been good to us; it's the least we could've done," Wade replied.
"I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been here." Taker said. "She's no wrestler and there were three of them. She's supposed to lock the door when we leave I don't know why she didn't."
Wade shrugged.
"I would have locked it if I'd known," he said.
"I'm just sorry she got fuckin' hurt at all," he added.
"She wasn't the only one Wade you have a hell of a shiner coming up." J.J. said looking at Wade with a smile.
J.J. smiled again. "From the looks of it one of them got you pretty good."
"Eh, them's the breaks," Wade said.
"Where is it?" he asked as he began poking around his face. Then he hit his left eye and winced.
"Fuckin' eh, that actually kinda hurts. Guess the eyes aren't invulnerable," he said.
Kane laughed. "Still want to be a wrestler? We get banged up all the time."
Wade laughed.
"Nah, I'll leave it to you guys," he said.
Taker smiled happy to see Kane bantering with someone.
"We have to head out to the next meeting." Kane said.
"Keep an eye on her would you?" Taker asked indicating Sammy.
"And lock the door." J.J. added.
"Of course we will," Vanessa said. Then she locked the door as soon as Taker, J.J. and Kane had passed through it.
"I had no idea that non - wrestlers could be attacked," she remarked tensely.
"They aren't usually," Wade said as he looked down at Sammy.
"I wonder why they'd attack her? Especially now?" Cassie said looking worried.
"It probably has something to do with what they said when they came in," Vanessa said.
"Yeah, I guess," Cassie said.
"At least it was women. If it had been, say, Hunter, she'd probably be - " Cassie trailed off. They all knew what she'd left unsaid.
J.J. Kane and Taker walked into the talent meeting. They took their usual positons and waited on Vince.
This is all Vince's fault. If he hadn't kept us from getting back to the locker room Sammy would be fine. Taker thought.
I hope Sammy is going to be ok. Kane thought.
I can't believe they went after her like that. Thank god for Kayla's friends if not for them she would have really been hurt. J.J. thought.
Finally Vince arrived. He looked out among the group.
"Hunter, where are Tory and Chyna?" Vince asked angry that they hadn't decided to come to the meeting.
"Still with Pete. They had a run in with Kane and Taker." Hunter said.
"Well," Vince said looking at Taker then Kane.
"Not us." Kane said. "We were with you."
"Then Who?" Hunter said.
"They attacked Sammy." J.J. said.
"Yeah and your little bitch took them out." Hunter said. "I seriously doubt it."
Taker just grinned.
"I'm pretty sure I know what happened then." Vince said sounding very aggravated.
Shit he knows it was Wade and the gang. Kane thought.
He's going to go after them now. With security. J.J. thought.
This is gonna suck. Kane thought.
The meeting continued with Vince once again berating people as he always did. Then he took matches. Awarding a match for the tag titles to Demolition without a request.
Finally he dismissed them.
Without a word, Wade, Vanessa and Cassie took up protective positions in front of the couch where Sammy lay. Wade's gaze never left the door.
Sammy rolled over on the couch and moaned quietly.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"I hope it's them and not someone else coming to play," Vanessa said as she quickly walked to the door. They could hear her talking quietly then she opened the door. Wade's attention focused on Sammy.
"You're okay. It's just Wade and Cassie. You're safe, I promise. See? Taker's here too," Wade said in the most soothing voice he could manage.
"You guys better take these and make yourself scarce." Taker said holding out the tickets.
"Yeah I think security will be here any minute." J.J. said.
They nodded and Wade took the tickets. Then the girls quickly got their things. Cassie took Vanessa's elbow and Wade led the way out of the room.
"Thanks again," Wade said as they left.
"Now what do we do to protect Sammy. J.J. will be ringside during our match and we'll be gone too." Kane asked.
"I know someone who will keep an eye on her and keep the door locked." J.J. said. "I'll have him come over he doesn't have a match tonight."
"Ok who?" Kane asked.
"Al." J.J. said. "I'll get him on the way to my meeting."
"Him" Taker said. "He's nuts."
"Yeah but he'll take good care of her." J.J. said. "He offered to watch my back once."
"You trust him." Taker asked.
"Yeah I do." J.J. replied.
"Shit, who's going to watch Sammy while Taker and Kane wrestle?" Vanessa asked as they walked.
"Fuck," Wade said.
"Maybe Kayla knows someone?" Cassie said as she took out her phone, looped her arm through Vanessa's and began texting furiously.
"Jon Cena said he'd do it," Cassie said after several moments.
"He's opening the show but he'll be free after that," she added.
Wade and Vanessa smiled and they headed in to the chaos and noise that only a WWE live event could provide.
J.J./Al Snow
J.J. knocked on the communal locker room several people used.
"Is Al here." She asked when the door was opened.
"Hey Al." The wrestler hollered.
"What." Al yelled back.
"Someone here to see you idiot." The wrestler said closing the door in J.J.'s face.
"Al." J.J. said when he came to the door. "I need your help.. You and Head." She added.
"What can we do for you J.J." Al asked.
"I need you to keep an eye on Sammy in Taker and Kane's locker room while they have their match." J.J. said. "She was attacked earlier and we don't want it to happen again."
"You got it girl. Me and head will be glad to take care of her." Al said. "We'll head over now."
"Thanks guys." J.J. said being sure to include head.
Then she headed to her meeting with the other photographers.
Kane/Taker/Sammy/ Al Snow and Head.
"I can't believe she's sending Al Snow." Taker said. "He's such a goof."
"Yeah but if she trusts him I do." Kane said. "J.J. is a good judge of character."
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
Taker went to open it.
"What do you guys want." Taker asked.
"We're here for the people in your locker room. Vince says he wants them walked off the property for assaulting two of his wrestlers." The person on the outside the door said.
"There isn't anyone here but Kane, me and Sammy." Taker replied.
"He said you would say that. We're to search the locker room." The voice said.
"Fine." Taker said opening the door wider.
The six security officers walked in several looking very nervously at Kane and Taker.
They quickly searched the two rooms and finding them empty except for the three that were supposed to be there left.
Just as Taker was closing the door behind them there was a knock on it.
"What now?" Taker said whipping the door back open.
"Here for security detail." Al said smiling.
Taker rolled his eyes but let Al in.
"We expect you to lock the door when we leave and let no one in." Taker said as Al looked around as if expecting someone already there to attack.
"You idiot there is no one here but us." Kane said.
"You can never be too careful." Al said.
Taker sighed and waited for Al to settle down.
"She looks bad. Is she ok?" Al said sounding worried as he looked down on Sammy.
"She'll be fine." Taker said.
"Good." Al replied.
Then Al took a seat opposite Sammy not taking his eyes off her.
Taker and Kane walked over to the seat in front of the T.V. to watch the beginning of the show and talk strategy.
Al and Head never moved.
Finally with their match approaching Taker and Kane began to stretch and warm up.
Kayla/Cena
Jon was warming up back stage when several texts from Kayla came in one right after the other. He had added a custom text tone to her name after their night on Skype and the racket broke his concentration.
As he read through the messages he frowned.
The Undertaker's girlfriend had been attacked in the locker room. Wade had saved the day. Kayla's group would be watching the show with the fans and Kane and The Undertaker had a match. Kayla had to work and she'd lose her job if she didn't. Jon quickly agreed to help. Then he returned to warming up for his match.
Jon had barely gotten back stage after his match when he sprinted off. He quickly found The Undertaker's locker room and knocked hard on the door.
"What now." Taker said going to answer the door.
"What do you want?" Taker asked when he saw Cena on the other side.
Taker stood back and let Cena in.
"What are you here for Head and I have it covered." Al said. "Right head." All said talking to the severed mannequin head.
"You can never have too many people on security detail," Jon replied.
"Why are you talking to that thing? It's just a mannequin head," he added.
"We don't need you." Al said. "You can go now."
Kane and Taker continued to warm up watching and wondering who would win this little argument.
"We? There is no 'we' if I leave," Jon said firmly.
"Yes there is Head and I are on the job." Al said firmly.
Jon burst in to laughter.
"It's a fucking mannequin head," he gasped.
"What are you going to do, throw it at an attacker? Throw it at the locked door? Oh, I know! Maybe you'll chop its hair off and strangle someone with it," Jon said as he continued to laugh.
"That's not funny I would never chop head's hair off. Head is an excellent fighter." Al said seriously.
"Now head he didn't mean it." Al said talking to the mannequin head.
"Oh really? Maybe I should bring the notebooks I write my raps in. I can throw those as well," Jon said.
"That thing isn't a person, Snow. I don't know what the hell you think it says to you and frankly, I don't want to know. But you need me here and I'm not going anywhere," Jon added.
"WE don't need you. It's two against one you have to leave." Al said holding head under his arm.
"That thing doesn't get a vote. It's the top part of an inanimate object," Jon said.
"Head does too get a vote." Al said. "And we say you go."
"Listen to me carefully because I'm only going to repeat this once. I'm. Not. Leaving," Jon said.
"I don't care who stays and who goes." Taker growled. "But the door needs to be locked now. We have a match to get to."
"Go." Al said to Cena.
Jon decided to act as if Snow hadn't said a word. Instead he looked down at Undertaker's girlfriend in concern.
"They really did a number on you," he said quietly.
Taker and Kane headed for the door.
"Lock it." Taker said as he exited.
