A new girl in town

Chapter 47

X-Pac

X-Pac groaned as the ref tried to reposition him.

Watch the neck. He thought unable to say the words.

He could see the worried look in the refs eyes.

That's not a good sign. X-Pac thought.

I still can't feel my hands. That's a bad sign too. X-Pac thought staring at the lights above

Finally another ref showed up and he handed the first ref a key. Soon his arm was by his side but he couldn't feel it.

He saw them waving in the EMTs and knew he must look as bad as he felt if they were calling them ringside.

The EMTs put a collar on him and a backboard and slowly moved him to the stretcher.

"Neck." X-Pac muttered.

"Ok, We've got you now." The EMT said.

X-Pac lost consciousness.

Kayla

Fuck, he doesn't look good. Kayla thought as the refs finally removed the handcuffs.

Then she watched, unable to look away, as the EMT's began getting him ready for transport.

It looks serious. Like really serious serious. She thought helplessly.

There's no point in watching the rest of the show. Kayla thought. If I don't get back to work, Vince will pitch a fit.

She sighed and closed the stream, and then she got back to work. She had to consciously stop her eyes from looking down at her phone.

Kane/Taker/Sammy

The three watched as X-Pac was taken out. Taker looked out the door and saw the EMTs bypass the training room and put X-Pac in ambulance.

"That can't be good." Sammy said.

"It never is when you leave the ring on a stretcher or an ambulance." Taker said.

"Tell me about it." Kane said having been through the experience himself.

Then they went back in and began warming up for their match.

"I wonder where Tori was? Wouldn't she usually have been out there too?" Sammy asked.

"Yeah I didn't even notice she was missing." Kane said.

Kane/Taker/J.J./Sammy/Kayla

Kane and Taker went out after DX had been introduced.

As they walked to the ring DX left it and Kane set off the ring posts.

Then with the smoke still thick in the air they climbed into the ring.

The battle was on.

The match went back and forth mostly through Hunter and Chyna's interference. Then when the ref's back was turned Hunter hit Taker with a steel chair from ringside knocking him forward onto his knees.

Chyna grabbed Kane's leg and both Jessie and Billy took shots then pinned Taker for the win.

DX raised their hands in victory as the announcers proclaimed the Road Doggs the new tag champions.

Shit I can't believe the ref didn't see all that. It was blatant. J.J. thought.

"How could that have happened DX was cheating." Sammy thought knowing they would be upset at having lost.

Kane and Taker got back to the locker room. Taker kicked a locker while holding his head. Kane went into the back room and threw his mask across the room.

A while later J.J. arrived back at the locker room. The guys were showered and obviously more than ready to get out of there.

Seeing their faces she just grabbed her bags.

"I'll shower back at the hotel. I'm sure Kane can stand the smell for a little while." J.J. said.

Nodding everyone else grabbed their bags and they headed out.

They stopped by Kayla's office.

Kayla sighed in relief as her phone buzzed.

Fucking finally! She thought as she quickly saved her work mid edits and shut down the computer.

Should I just take the bike back or find Kane and J.J.? She wondered indecisively.

Fuck it, I'll figure it out on the way. She decided as she left the office.

Opening the door she walked straight into Taker's chest.

"Did someone die?" She asked when she looked at Taker and Kane.

"No." J.J. said. "They lost their titles to the Road Doggs. With much help from Hunter and Chyna."

"Oh hell. I'm sorry, guys," Kayla said.

The guys just nodded their heads in response.

"I still wonder where Tori was." Sammy asked. "It doesn't make any sense that they would be out there without her."

Kayla tried not to change her expression or burst out laughing. Instead she shrugged.

"What do you know?" Taker asked seeing her expressions change quickly.

"Me? What would I know?" Kayla asked.

"Even I can see it Kayla. What's up?" J.J. asked.

"I plead the 5th," Kayla said.

"Fine." J.J. said. "We need to get them to truck your bike unless you plan to ride it all the way to LA." J.J. said.

"While that could be fun, my back probably wouldn't agree," Kayla said.

They walked together to the truck.

What is she hiding? Kane wondered. I saw her face go from about to laugh to nothing in about three seconds flat.

She knows something about Tori. Why is she keeping it a secret? Taker wondered.

If I didn't know better I'd say she had something to do with Tori's disappearance. J.J. thought.

They know something's up, but they won't be getting details from this mouth. Kayla thought. They don't need to be involved in my shit; if Vince asks them once he finds out; they can tell him honestly that they don't know anything.

Taker and Sammy headed to their SUV and out of the parking area.

Kayla wandered over to the first person who seemed like he knew what he was doing.

"Hey, I have a motorcycle that I was hoping you guys could transport to L.A. for me," she said.

"Yeah, sure. I'll need your staff ID as well as this form filled out," the guy said handing her a few sheets and a pen.

Kayla reached in to her bag and fished out her ID, then she handed it over. The form was fairly simple and she completed it quickly.

"You're new, huh?" The guy asked.

"Yeah. I started a couple of weeks ago," Kayla said as she handed over the paperwork and took back her ID.

"Okay, great. You'll have her back in L.A.," the guy said.

Kayla thanked him and was ready to go.

Kane and J.J. headed for the SUV with Kayla following behind.

Once they were all in Kane headed right out.

They were back at the hotel quickly.

Hunter/DX/Tori

Hunter and crew got back to the hotel intending to celebrate.

"Go get Tori." Hunter told Chyna.

"Fine." She said as the others headed for the hotel bar.

Heading upstairs she went toward Tori's room. The door was ajar so she just pushed it open.

"Well it looks like she did her job." Chyna said to herself. "But where the hell is she?"

Walking further in, she saw a foot so she moved closer.

"Shit." Chyna said. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Oh it hurts so much." Tori said in reply.

Chyna took out her phone and texted Hunter.

Chyna to Hunter:

Tori is hurt she's in her room curled up into a little ball.

Hunter to Chyna:

Get her ass down her we're celebrating.

Chyna to Hunter:

I think you better come up here.

Hunter didn't respond instead he grunted and left the barstool to head upstairs.

"What the hell is wrong with her? What happened?" Hunter asked Chyna as he walked in.

"I don't know all she keeps saying is it hurts." Chyna replied.

Hunter walked over and nudged her with his foot. "Get up!" he demanded.

"I can't it hurts too much." Tori whined.

"What the hell happened?" Hunter asked loudly.

"That bitch attacked me." Tori finally said.

"What bitch?" Hunter asked.

"The burned one." Tori replied still curled up into a little ball.

"How could she have she was at the arena all night." Hunter said demandingly.

"I don't know how." Tori said petulantly. "But she was here."

"Chyna get her in bed. She can rejoin us when she's feeling better." Hunter said.

"But she's hurt." Chyna said.

"Then take her to a hospital I don't care. I have celebrating to do." Hunter said leaving the room.

I'm gonna find out exactly what happened and if it was that burnt freak she's gonna pay.

Kayla/X-Pac

Kayla went quickly up to her room, barely taking enough time to say a quick good night to Kane and J.J.

Once she was settled in, she stared blankly down at her phone.

God, just fucking call me! She thought desperately. But the phone didn't obey.

Fuck! All kinds of rage fuck! Where the fuck are you?

Then she texted RVD.

Kayla to RVD:

Hey dude. I guess you saw what happened re: Sean. Do you know where they took him?

RVD to Kayla:

Usually the closest hospital to the arena. I can't remember what it's called though. Contact the desk they'll know.

Kayla to RVD:

Thanks. Get at me later and we can chill.

Kayla called the desk and got the name of the hospital, and then she hurried out of the room.

She ran down the stairs without stopping and then out of the hotel's doors.

Shit, I don't have the bike. She realized once she was outside.

I guess it's a cab then. She was dialing for one before she'd completed the thought.

She had a smoke while she waited impatiently for the cab to arrive. When it finally pulled up to the curb, she quickly climbed in to the back and gave the driver the name of the hospital. The rest of the ride passed by in silence.

The driver finally pulled up in front of the hospital. Kayla quickly gave him two $20's and took off before he could protest or thank her.

She was standing at the main desk when she realized that she didn't know Sean's last name.

Kayla rolled her eyes, sighed, and called RVD.

"Yeah babe." RVD answered.

"Uh... kind of stupid question for ya, but what's Sean's last name? I'm at the hospital," Kayla said.

"Oh yeah. Say hi for me." RVD said.

"I will... if I ever get to see him. So what is it?" Kayla said.

"What is what?" RVD asked sounding totally baked.

Kayla clenched her teeth so hard that her jaw popped.

"What is Sean's last name, Rob?" She asked.

"Oh why didn't you say so.. it's Whitman… No wait that's the poet. It's Waltman." RVD said.

"Kay, great. Waltman. Got it. You're sure about that, right?" Kayla said.

"Pretty sure.." He said then he started laughing really hard and hung up.

"Oh my fuck, I hate stoners when I'm not stoned," Kayla groaned.

Then she turned to the person behind the desk.

"Hi, I'm looking for Sean Waltman," she said.

"So are a lot of other people. Give me what you want sent to him and then join the others outside we can't have you people cluttering up the lobby." The woman behind the desk said.

"Huh? What I want sent to him?" Kayla asked in confusion.

"Yeah a card, letter a stuffed animal flowers.." the woman said.

That's when Kayla saw the pile of stuff beside the woman. Looking at it she could see some of them most of them had the name Sean Waltman on them.

"Oh... uh, right. Sorry, I'm with it I swear," Kayla said.

"Well." The woman said.

"Give me a sec," She said. Then she moved over to a free chair and began hunting through her bag.

I know it's in here somewhere. She thought as she rummaged. Where the fuck is it?

She finally found it wedged in to the back. She pulled it out and smiled slightly.

It was a sketchpad she'd been carrying around with her forever but barely used. The graphite sticks were still attached to the front of it with a rubber band.

She quickly got to work. By the time she was finished, cat Sean and cat Kayla were stairing back at her.

Perfect she thought. Now for a card or something.

Luckily the gift shop wasn't hard to spot. She went in and was back out quickly.

I'm going to die from sentimental horror. She thought as she placed her picture inside of the card. Then she went back to the desk and added it to the pile.

The woman took the envelope and added it to the pile.

"If you're going to stay you have to go outside." The woman said briskly.

"Hey, while I'm here, would it be possible no to see him? I'm a friend and a colleague," Kayla said producing her WWE ID.

She examined the id for a moment.

"Why didn't you just say so." The woman asked sounding irritated.

Kayla shrugged.

"I'm just a rooky, ma'am. I'm not used to this kind of thing," she said.

The woman wrote something down on a piece of paper then reached up to hand it to Kayla. But before she turned it loose she said "if you turn out not to be who you say you are you'll be arrested for trespass."

Kayla just nodded and took the piece of paper.

Kayla started following the signs as she walked.

Jeeze, this place is huge. She thought.

Finally, she spotted the west elevators and hit the button.

I'll definitely get lost if I try to find the stairs. She thought as an elevator opened in front of her. She stepped inside quickly and was at the 3rd floor in no time.

Then she started reading the numbers on the doors.

"303," she muttered as she passed. She finally found it; the door was near the end of a hallway and Kayla wondered absently how the hell she was going to find her way out again.

"Can I help you?" the guard at the door said, as she approached.

"Hi, I'm Kayla. I'm a friend and colleague of Sean's," Kayla said producing her ID yet again.

"Ok," he said after examining the ID. "But he's probably asleep the doctor just left."

Then he opened the door for her.

"Oh my god," Kayla breathed as she stood in the doorway.
