A new girl in town
Chapter 41
Hunter/DX
"I need a room number." Hunter said to the clerk behind the desk.
"We can't give out that kind of information." The clerk replied.
"Yes you can and you will or else." Hunter replied.
"Floor ten. The guy's name is Wade." Hunter said.
"Um I would need a last name too." The clerk said frightened of what they guy might do.
"You know him. He's all burned up." Hunter said.
The clerk typed some more.
"That would be Wade Wilson." The clerk said. "He's registered as part of Kayla Jacobs group."
Without a word of thanks Hunter walked away followed by DX.
"It's that burned bitch again. She keeps getting on my nerves. I'm going to have to do something about her and this Wade guy." Hunter said.
Vanessa/Wade/Cassie/Kayla
To her eminence surprise, Cassie found herself getting wrapped up in the show. Wade had turned on the described video option which helped her from being lost during the action scenes.
Cassie was startled when the sound suddenly disappeared.
"I'll probably hear from Kane soon. It's nearly 8," Wade said.
Holy fuck, we got through like six episodes? Cassie thought in shock.
Wade grinned.
"Told you it's awesome," he said, mussing up Cassie's hair.
"Stop it! And whatevs, it's still unrealistic," Cassie said as she tried to rearrange her hair.
"It's based on a comic, babe. It's not supposed to be," Wade said.
"I knew you'd like it," Vanessa said.
"Shut up. It was whatever," Cassie said. They knew her too well to be fooled.
Just then, Wade's phone went off.
Kane to Wade:
We're back. Have you eaten. My room dinner if you haven't
Kane to wade:
Bring Taker and Sammy.
Wade to Kane:
Fuck. No. :'( I am no longer best boyfriend. (U)
Kane to Wade:
What never mind.
Kane/J.J./Taker/Sammy/Kayla/Wade/Cassie/Vanessa
"Wade said he's no longer best boyfriend." Kane told J.J.
J.J. just laughed.
Everyone quickly got their things together, and then they left the room.
"We need to stop off at Taker's room to get him and Sammy," Wade said as they walked.
"Kay, no worries," Cassie replied.
They arrived at Taker's door and Wade knocked.
Taker answered the door and behind them you could see Sammy unpacking what looked like a laptop.
"Hey man... and girl," Wade said with a grin.
"What's up?" Taker asked.
"Oh hey, is that a new laptop?" Kayla asked as she watched Sammy.
"Yeah." Sammy said from inside the room. "The other one was a lost cause."
"That sucks. The new one looks nice though. Way nicer than mine or Wade's," Kayla said.
"Same 'ol shit," Wade said with a shrug.
"Kane and J.J. just got back so we're heading over. I figured we'd get you guys on the way," he added.
"Good." Taker said. "Sammy you ready to go or do you want to get that setup first?"
"No I can do this later." Sammy said getting up.
"You should buy a new one. Or two." Sammy said as she got to the door. "That is if you want to work from your hotel room."
"I'm trying to make Vince foot the bill. 'Trying' being the key word," Kayla said.
"Wait another week." Taker said. "Then just buy it. He can't say anything if it's for your job. If he does just go through Linda." Taker added laughing.
Kayla laughed as well.
"You're the master. I'm just a slave to the system," she said.
"He'll yell and bitch." Taker said. "Either way but he can't really fight you on it."
Kayla nodded.
"I don't even really need two machines. If I had a laptop with enough power and another monitor I'd be good," Kayla said.
"Keep it light." Sammy said. "You will have to tote whatever you buy."
"Yeah it's not like my bike which usually travels in the truck unless I have it." Taker said. "You should probably do the same thing rather than Kane and J.J. towing it behind them." Taker added.
Kayla sighed.
"I kind of have a driving... thing," she admitted.
"Not a problem so long as Kane and J.J. are driving. They are used to doing it. That way you'd have your bike but wouldn't have to ride in bad weather." Taker said as he knocked on Kane's door.
Thank god I didn't have to go in to that. Kayla thought. It's crazy and irrational and I hate talking about it.
"You okay?" Wade asked, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Kayla shrugged.
"You know how it is," she said.
"Yeah. You're alright," Wade said.
Kane answered and waved them all in.
"We waited to order because we didn't know whether any of you guys had eaten yet. Kane's stomach is growling as usual." J.J. said laughing.
"When isn't it?" Taker said.
"Hey." Kane said. "You eat as much as I do."
Taker just laughed.
They all went in and took seats. Vanessa, Wade and Kayla took seats from the table the rest sat on the couch and chairs.
"Cassie needs coffee. Desperately. Wade has officially been downgraded from best boyfriend," Cassie said.
"Poor Wade." J.J. said smiling. "Who's best boyfriend now?"
Cassie shrugged.
"The suggestions box is open," she quipped.
Kane, and Taker laughed.
"We're not applying." Kane said.
Taker laughed harder.
"You better not be." J.J. said slapping Kane lightly in the arm.
Everyone else laughed.
"Married and taken. There goes all of my dreams," Cassie said in mock sadness.
The guys just laughed again.
"You could always share Ray with me," Vanessa said.
Cassie laughed.
"Girl, you're a handful all on your own. If I joined the party, that poor dude's head would explode," she said.
"Besides, I thought you said you didn't know if it was a thing yet?" She added.
"I've changed my mind since then. I don't know how long it'll last but it's definitely a thing," Vanessa said.
Kayla and Wade laughed. Cassie shrugged and made the thumbs up sign.
"Let's eat already." Kane said getting up to get the menu.
Everyone started laughing including Kane.
"A fuckin' men," Wade said.
That set off another round of laughing. But then they all decided what they wanted and J.J. called it in.
"That's going to take at least three carts." J.J. said looking at Kane and Taker.
"What?" Kane said.
"I think that means you two eat all of the foods," Cassie said with a laugh.
"Just for that I'm eating yours too Cassie." Kane said laughing.
"What?! No! I didn't sign that deal!" Cassie said.
"Sure you did Cassie. You said he'd eat all the food." Sammy said laughing.
"I hate you all," Cassie said.
Kane and Taker laughed. Then Sammy and J.J. joined in.
"You did kind of walk in to that one," Wade said.
"Eh, it sounded amazing in my head," Cassie said.
"Everything sounds amazing in your head... until you open your mouth," Wade said.
"Oh snap!" Kayla said.
"Vanessa Carlile-Vaughan has no comment," Vanessa said.
"Oh." Sammy said. "Don't get to close to their plates either they'll eat your arm." Then she laughed.
"I only stabbed J.J. once and she was going for my desert." Kane said laughing.
"Ouch! Okay then! Never get between Kane and dessert I guess," Cassie said. She managed to keep a straight face for a moment or two but it didn't last. She shook her head and laughed.
Kane just smiled and shook his head. Then realized she couldn't see him and laughed instead.
The food arrived and they all ate mostly in silence.
With dinner done and the carts outside Kane took a seat with the others.
Kay.
"I guess it's time for serious business," Kayla said with a sigh once everyone had finished eating.
"Ok what happened today?" Kane asked wanting to get right to the point.
Kayla sighed again.
"Um... well... fuck...
"Okay. The first time I left you guys for a smoke, I ran in to X-Pac outside. He asked for a light and I was like okay, I guess.
"Um... So yeah. We kinda talked? Like you know how it is when you're around smokers? It's kind of a thing you do. So yeah. Um. He seemed kind of sad or something? So I asked about it and he told me... stuff. But not like everything stuff. Just that he'd fucked up and that he was sorry and... um.
"So anyway, Tori came looking for him and saw me. I mean, I couldn't exactly hide. So yeah.
"Then when I went for that smoke after lunch, I ran in to RVD on my way back. He told me about Hunter losing his shit... and um. The rest of what X-Pac didn't tell me. Um... so that's my bit. Shutting up now," Kayla said.
"Is that why you were so upset. Cause RVD told you about X-Pac and me." Kane asked.
"Maybe? Yeah," Kayla said.
X-Pac is sorry? Kane thought. But that doesn't matter now. It's way too late for that.
"Ok, Moving on." Taker said knowing Kane wouldn't want to talk about that.
"I got this," Wade said.
"Me and the girls heard shit going down outside the room. Cassie thought that it sounded like Hunter was yelling so I went to take a look.
"Anyway, I saw RVD run out of his room like the fuckin' hounds from hell were after him so I wedged myself in to his doorway to listen.
"Sure as hell it was Hunter yelling at someone. He called Kayla a burned bitch and shit was on. I started planning, you know? Really detailed plans for ending all of them.
"Then he said something about having Kayla in his sights and that the person could warn her but that didn't matter. Then the door opened and Hunter came out with X-Pac.
"He spotted me and said something stupid that I've heard a million times so I fucked with him a little. You know, made alternative suggestions of other things he could have called me instead.
"I think the ring announcer voice was a pretty nice touch personally. I pulled that one out when he asked if I knew who he was.
"That's pretty much it on my end. We were squaring up when Taker got there," Wade said.
"Oh is that how I found you face to face with Hunter?" Taker said. "You were really pissing him off telling he wasn't original. He prides himself on his mic work."
"Any way Hunter backed off when I got out there." Taker said. "I'm glad I came out when I did. I don't doubt that Wade could have taken him. But Hunter would have him arrested."
Wade smirked.
"His swearing needs resuscitation too. I'm pretty sure it's on life support," he said.
"What was the banging noise RVD told me about?" Kayla asked.
"Um... well... you know," Wade said.
"It was probably our seven millionth round of fucking," Cassie said with a laugh.
Kane blushed bright red at the comment.
"Hunter beating the shit out of X-Pac, I'd guess. I'm not too sure though," Wade said.
Kane felt a pang of pity for his ex-partner but pushed it away.
"So now I guess the question is... what the fuck do I do, guys?" Kayla asked.
"Well if he's made the connection between you and Wade he'll have even more to go after you for. Wade embarrassed him in front of DX. That won't make him happy." Kane said. "If he was gunning for you now he'll be even worse."
"Let me make a call." Taker said.
He pulled his phone out and walked away from them for a bit.
"Yeah." J.J. said. "Hunter has a temper and the power of Vince behind him."
Kayla looked around at them all helplessly. She'd never felt this out of control before. She felt seconds away from either falling apart or doing something very, very stupid.
She pulled out her phone and sent a text.
Kayla to Kane:
Um. So you know how you said I should come to one of you if I felt like I wanted to do stupid shit? Well yeah. Kinda feel like doing stupid shit right now. FML.
Kane's phone went off.
Who could be texting me? He wondered knowing only the people in this room knew he had a phone.
Picking it up he read the message and looked at Kayla.
Kane to Kayla:
Relax. We've got your back no matter what happens.
Taker came back.
"Bad news guys. Hunter was at the desk. He knows you and Wade are connected." Taker said.
