A new girl in town

Chapter 60

Kayla

She sighed as she completed yet another video package.

Fucking hell, I've probably done at least a million of these stupid things by now. She thought.

I wonder what's happening on the show? If I stick to coding, I could probably watch and code at the same time.

As she loaded up a streaming site on her phone, she couldn't shake a sudden feeling of unease.

You're being crazier than usual. She thought. You're just jumpy and a little spooked; you're projecting that all over the place and that's where the feeling is coming from.

She sighed and began to watch the show.

She watched the first match but paid more attention to her music than she did what was happening in the ring.

Kane's entrance music broke her out of her preoccupation and she quickly muted the speaker dock to watch.

Fuck, that other guy is huge. Oh right, Big Show. Stupidest name ever. She thought.

She smirked as Kane made short work of the larger man and was preparing to restart her music when she noticed who was coming up.

Cool, it's the guys with the awesome face paint and those other mean looking dudes. She thought.

All of her focus turned towards the action in the ring. Both teams were rather impressive and she found herself enjoying it.

Then her attention was caught by something outside the ring.

Oh fuck, is that J.J.? She wondered.

Fuck, where'd she go?

Then she saw the announce team leaving the table and knew in an instant that something had gone horribly wrong.

Her heart clenched in fear for the woman who now felt like the sister she'd never had and the man who meant just as much to her... the man who had already lost too much.

She raced out of her office and to gorilla position without a second thought.

Kane

Kane ran to gorilla position and through the curtain without stopping. In street clothes and with his brown mask no one knew who it was at first.

He rushed toward the table and pushed King out of the way violently.

J.J. he thought kneeling beside her. Oh god what happened.

Then he saw the blood on her head and reached for her.

"NO!" JR said. "Don't touch her you could make it worse."

Kane froze. He took a deep breath and slowly took her hand.

She didn't respond.

The EMTs arrived and practically had to push him aside to get to her.

He listened to the EMTs talking and it didn't sound good. When they had he on the stretcher Kane again took her hand as they walked her out and up the ramp.

Vince was standing just inside the curtain.

"You can't leave Kane." Vine said as Kane started to follow the stretcher to the ambulance.

"The hell I can't." Kane said even as they loaded the stretcher and he joined them.

Kayla/Taker/Sammy

Taker was several steps behind his brother and by the time he got to gorilla position Vince was already there telling everyone to go back to their locker rooms.

"I'm staying right here." Taker said when Vince tried to send him away. "That's my sister in law."

She got there just in time to hear Vince tell Kane that he couldn't leave.

You fucking tell him! She thought with pride. He's her husband, mother fucker. No other company would stop someone from leaving in a situation like this, especially since he's already worked tonight.

I'll just text him. That way I know where they're taking her and can sneak out when Vince isn't looking.

She made her way back to the office. Once there, she picked up her phone and opened her messages.

Text from Kayla to Kane:

Just saw what happened. Where are they taking her? I'll be there as soon as I can. :Biggest hug ever:

Kane heard the message come in but it all seemed so far away. He just held J.J.'s hand and talked to her trying to get her to respond.

Is this how she felt when I was hurt? How can I deal with this? He wondered. "What if she never wakes up? How can I live without her?

All these thoughts and more were running frantically in his brain with no answers I sight he tried to keep from thinking all together and failed.

Fuck! The last thing he's probably paying attention to is his phone. Kayla thought.

She called Taker instead.

Seeing her so still in the neck brace and strapped down Kane began to feel angry. Angrier than he'd been in a very long time.

Someone is going to pay for this. He thought.

Taker picked up the phone on the second ring.

"Where are they taking her?" Kayla asked frantically before Taker could say anything.

"I don't know." Taker said. "I'll find out and let you know."

She could hear Vince yelling in the background.

"I know I have a god damn match Vince. But I'm gone right after it." Taker growled.

She heard yelling again.

"I'm telling you Vince if you try to stop me someone is going to get hurt." She heard Taker say.

Hunter/DX

Hunter watched closely as Demolition and LOD got to the ring. He saw the impact then Kane run out in street clothes. Hunter started laughing.

This is better than I hoped. Hunter thought. Kane's gonna lose it. He'll get suspended for sure.

I may not have to give that tag match after all. Demolition is going to be in the hospital for a long time.

"Faze two complete." He said to the rest of DX.

Kayla

"Thanks," Kayla said and hung up.

Then she began pacing around the office. Fear and panic were making her heart race. The walls felt like they were closing in all around her. When had this room gotten so fucking small?

Who the fuck did this? She thought.

Why would they want to hurt her? She's a tiny thing compared to me, not to mention she isn't a wrestler...

Her thoughts raced.

Then she remembered something J.J. had said regarding Hunter.

Accidents... For messing with him. But would he do that again? If he would, why?

To fuck with Kane again? But why now?

To continue the trend of incapacitating the brothers of destruction's lovers? But what would that accomplish? That wouldn't move him up the ladder; he was already at the top.

It would distract two title contender's but there would always be more to come.

Did anyone else... No. It had to be Hunter... and she needed to find him right fucking now.

Kayla/Hunter/DX

She sprinted from her office in the direction of the locker rooms. His had to be here somewhere. She continued her headlong sprint down first one hall and down the next. Then she finally found it. She had barely come to a halt before she was pounding on the door.

"Open the fucking door or I swear to fucking god I'll break it down right now!" She yelled as her fist made contact with wood.

"What the hell is your problem?" Chyna said opening the door.

"You aren't it... yet. Now where the fuck is he," Kayla growled.

"Get lost." Chyna said starting to close the door.

"Bitch please," Kayla said as she pushed hard against the door.

Chyna stumbled but again tried to close the door with more force this time.

Kayla rolled her eyes and pushed harder.

The door still wouldn't budge with Chyna's considerable strength behind it.

Kayla rolled her eyes again, and then she took a lunging kick at the door.

Kayla felt it give and heard a yell and a thud.

"You're as dumb a bitch as that blond. Guess DX doesn't come with a brain upgrade," Kayla said as she strode in to the room, kicking Chyna aside.

"What the hell is your problem bitch? What the hell are you doing in my locker room and attacking my people." Hunter shouted getting to his feet.

"The games up, Hunter. We're playing by my rules now... and I don't have any. I don't know what the fuck your issue is, but attacking her won't solve it. As for your amazon over there, she got in my way. Do something about it," Kayla said glaring up in to Hunter's face.

Hunter looked her dead in the eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Hunter said. "Who got attacked?"

"The dumb bitch act was kinda cute on your girls... And alright, maybe a little charming on you too. But I know you planned this so quit the bullshit," Kayla said.

"I really have no idea what you're talking about." He said again. "We were sitting here playing cards and you came pounding on the door."

"Also, I have a name. Feel free to use it. Regardless of what I think of you, I've been respectful enough to use yours," she added.

"Ok Kayla." He said. "I'll play along. What did I plan? We're off tonight so we weren't even watching the show."

"Thank you. It's appreciated," Kayla said.

I can play along too. She thought. But you will tell me everything before I leave here.

"Kane's wife was just attacked at ringside. She was just doing her job like we all are and someone blindsided her and took her out," she added.

"Oh that's terrible." Hunter said sitting back down. "But it had nothing to do with me."

Kayla rolled her eyes.

"What's in it for you? Climbing a few more rungs up the ladder? But you're already at the top. Pissing Kane off? Congrats; mission accomplished. Fucking with me some more?" Kayla asked.

Then it hit her.

"That's it. You took her out to get at me," Kayla said.

Hunter laughed. "You're delusional. I don't need to go through other people to get to you. If I wanted to take you out you already would have been."

"Our verbal jousting matches say otherwise. I remember every single word. You've threatened to personally hurt the people I care about more than once. Don't sit there and fucking lie to me; it isn't at all attractive," Kayla said.

"What the hell is going on in here." She heard from behind instantly recognizing the voice as Vince.

"I don't know Vince she came pounding on the door forced her way in giving Chyna a black eye and she keeps saying someone got hurt and it's my fault. I've been here all night playing cards." Hunter said sounding completely innocent.

Got her. Hunter thought. There is no way she can explain this without sounding completely nuts.

Kayla clenched her teeth and fought the urge to kick Hunter right in his stupid, douche nose.

"Well Kayla what do you have to say for yourself and it better be good because if it's not you're harassing my wrestlers for no reason." Vince said sounding angry.

"Chyna dislikes me for some reason and wouldn't let me in. Yes, I did make her do so eventually; I take full responsibility for that and I apologize. Yes, Hunter is right; I did come here to ask about what happened with Kane's wife because I thought that he may have been responsible for it in some way. However, I realize that my judgement may have been a bit irrational and I apologize for that as well. All of that being said, I was also hoping to brain storm original content ideas with some of your wrestlers. We need their input if this venture is going to be a success... and I, for one, don't accept failure. Who would you rather come up with ideas: wrestlers in your employ who live and breathe this business or a former Marine from Oakland whose specialty is digital media production?" Kayla said.

"Well I guess that sounds plausible. But now that you know it wasn't his fault perhaps you could start by brain storming with other wrestlers and not with Hunter." Vince said sounding totally confused.

"Not a problem, if that's what you'd like me to do," Kayla said.

As she left the room she turned to look back in and saw a sick smile on Hunter's face.

It's on. Game... set... match. She thought.

As she looked down the hall she saw Taker and Sammy rushing toward the parking area.

Vince saw them too and looked pissed.

Fuck! I can't catch them now; I just managed to dodge Vince through a combination of mad skills and sheer luck. If I go tearing after them now, I'll lose that whatever advantage I've gained.

She thought.

"YOUR MATCH." Vince shouted after them.

"IT'S OVER." Taker shouted back.
