A new girl in town

Chapter 64

Kayla/Sammy/Taker/Cena/Vince

"How dare you talk to me like that." Vince said loudly. "I can fire you."

"How much of your precious money would you lose if you did? Because I'd make sure the world knows why." Taker growled.

Vince looked at Taker for a moment then took a step back.

"As for Kane. He'll miss as many matches as he needs to in order to tend to J.J. if you have a problem with that then we have another problem." Taker said taking a step toward Vince.

"But he can't…" Vince said.

"He can't what." Taker said stepping forward once again. Slowly backing Vince toward his limo.

"He can't just take time off like that." Vince sputtered.

"What are you going to do about it. You fire him you fire me." Taker said walking forward a few paces. "When the WWE fans find out that you fired Kane because his wife was injured and me because I was standing by him imagine the consequences."

"But…But…" Vince stammered suddenly realizing his back was against his limo.

"You're leaving now." Taker said.

"What about you are you going to miss events too or Cena." Vince said sounding both pissed and scared.

"Cena will make his events." Taker said looking over his shoulder at Cena. "I will miss at least the next one."

"You can go now Vince." Taker said dismissing him then turning his back on him Taker walked away.

"Kayla? Is it? Is he going to hit the older guy?" the officer asked. "If he is we're calling the cops. Somehow I don't think we can handle those two big guys alone."

"I doubt it. He's probably just trying to get him out of here," Kayla said as she observed the scene.

"If someone was injured shouldn't the boss be here? Isn't that the way it's supposed to go?" A second officer asked.

"Not in this biz," Kayla said.

"Forget every rule you think you know because they don't apply here," she added.

"Explain that?" the first officer said. "What rules should we forget?"

"Eh, you know. Everybody should be friends, the boss has got your back at the end of the day... that kinda thing," Kayla said shrugging.

"Are you telling me this Vince guy is a jackass?" the second officer asked.

"Your words, not mine. But yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying," Kayla said with a laugh.

Just then there was shouting from the back area. The security officers ran to the door and entered a key code to get in.

Kayla ran after the men.

Fuck fuck fuck! Taker and Cena are out there dealing with Vince. If anything else happens... Fuck. This is really not good. She thought as she ran.

"Stay back." The first security officer said. "We'll deal with this."

"With all due respect, I know you know how to do your jobs but this situation is shit. I need to be there," Kayla said.

"What another wrestler?" the officer said as he opened the door."

"Where she goes I go?" Kayla heard loudly from the back.

Oh, fuck me. Kayla thought. What the hell is going on in there?

Getting into the back the three security officers head toward what Kayla now sees is a very angry Kane. He's surrounded by doctors who are trying to keep him from following a gurney down the hall.

"Damn it. Let me go." Kane shouted.

"This isn't necessary." One of the doctors says. "You can see her once she's settled in ICU."

"Dude, please try to calm down," Kayla said trying to aim for gentle.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Kane yelled loudly as the security officers started grabbing him.

"Kane, please. Let them do their job," Kayla pleaded.

Kane easily pushed the security officers away. Then he started to try to push through the crowd of doctors who were backing away.

Fuck. Better intervene. Kayla thought as she began pushing through the sea of people to reach Kane.

Good thing I'm still fucking built. She thought.

She finally reached him and stood in front of him.

"Hey. Let them do their thing, alright? You'll see her as soon as they're done," she said.

Kane looked at Kayla but she could see he didn't recognize her. He tried to pass her.

"Hey, no. None of that. It's Kayla," Kayla said as she reached out and tried to still his movements.

Kane started to brush her off as he did the security but then he looked at her.

I know her why is she trying to stop me. Kane thought.

"That's better. You want her to get the care she needs, right? And you want her to wake up and get better, right? Let them do their jobs, kay? I promise you'll be with her as soon as they're done. I'll make sure of it," Kayla said.

I know I know her can I trust her? Kane wondered cocking his head, still not sure why he knew her.

"You know me. Better than most people do to be honest. I keep doing embarrassing shit around you, like texting you when I'm high. You also keep driving me around. We work together," Kayla said.

With Kane standing still Security began closing in again.

I work with her. Ok. Kane thought looking once again to where J.J. had disappeared to.

"Can you guys back off, please? He's fine," Kayla said.

Taker, Cena and Sammy walked back into the ER waiting room.

"Where's Kayla?" Sammy asked.

"Maybe she had to go…you know." Cena said.

"I'm not so sure of that." Taker said.

Kane looked down at Kayla again. Then at the spot where J.J. had gone.

"Hey, it's okay. Nothing bad is gonna happen. I've spent way too much of my life in these places. They're just gonna run some tests to see where she's at, then they'll bring her back," Kayla said.

"We're taking her to the intensive care unit." One of the doctors spoke up. "Once she's settled he can see her."

"Alright, thanks for the info," Kayla said.

She tried to conceal her worry at his words. This was bad... much worse than she'd figured. ICU was never a good sign.

"How are you doing? I know being here is hard. I'm proud of you for doing it anyway," Kayla said.

"Why didn't you just tell us he was retarded." One of the officers asked as she walked Kane toward the door.

"Excuse me? What the fuck is wrong with you? You're the retarded one around here, bud. I look just like he does but you haven't said shit to me," Kayla said angrily.

"The mask lady and the way he's acting." The officer shot back. "That's why I'm asking if he's retarded."

"Well he's not," Kayla snapped.

Just as they reached the door it was thrown open and Kayla walked right into Taker because she was focused on Kane.

"Fuck, sorry," Kayla said.

"I see you have whatever happened under control. Thank you. But what happened?" Taker said as he turned to let them into the waiting room.

"First, they tried to get involved in your thing with Vince. Then, they showed up here and wanted to take Kane down or something," Kayla said.

"It's good that you could calm him down." Sammy said. "When will he be able to see her again?"

"They're moving her in to the ICU, so I'm not sure. It shouldn't be long though," Kayla said.

"ICU damn that's really.." Cena began to say but a sharp look from Taker made him stop mid-sentence.

"Kayla needs coffee. And redbull," Kayla said trying to change the subject.

"UUMM I'll take you." Cena said wanting to get away from Taker's glare.

"Do you mind getting it without me?" Kayla asked looking at Kane.

"I'll pay you back," she added.

"You and Cena should go back to the hotel." Taker said. "You'll be expected at the next event."

"Hey, I'm gonna head out with Cena, kay? Will you be alright?" Kayla asked Kane quietly.

Kane looked at her lost for a second then nodded.

"Get at me if there is any news." Kayla said.

"Keep me in the loop too if you don't mind." Cena said.

"We will." Sammy said.

"Don't worry we'll take good care of both of them." Sammy said.

Kayla nodded, and then she got to her feet.

Cena/Kayla

Kayla and Cena quickly got to where he had parked.

"Mind if I crash with you? I'd use my room but yeah," Kayla said once they were in the car.

"Yeah, of course you can. You aren't staying on your own," Cena said protectively.

Kayla rolled her eyes but didn't comment.

The drive passed in silence, with both of them lost to their thoughts.

Why does he hate hospitals so much? Kayla wondered.

It doesn't add up. I doubt that he was treated for his burns, so that wouldn't explain it. What am I missing here?

Fuck, if I hadn't gotten there when I did, what the hell would have happened? I could see them maybe managing to take him down, but would they have stopped there? Security people can be assholes sometimes; they get this crazy inferiority complex 'cause they aren't quite cops. At least it didn't get that far.

They finally pulled up to the hotel and Cena parked.

"Do you still want that coffee and the other crap?" Cena asked as they entered the hotel.

Kayla shook her head.

"I should probably try sleeping," she said with a yawn.

"Yeah, me too," Cena said as they waited for an elevator.

He watched Kayla get out of the car. So she's with him tonight. He's easy enough to handle. They didn't even notice that he followed them to the elevator. He went up on the next one and watched them go into Cena's room

They made it up to his room. Kayla realized that she didn't have any of her things, but she quickly decided against getting them right then.

I keep falling asleep in my clothes anyway so it doesn't matter. Kayla thought.

"Take the bed," Cena said.

Kayla looked at him like he was crazy.

"You aren't gonna fit on the couch, dude," Kayla said.

"Neither will you," Cena said.

"I'll be fine, mom. I've slept in worse places," Kayla said lying down on the couch.

Cena sighed but didn't argue further. Instead, he by disappeared and came back carrying some bed coverings and a pillow.

Kayla thanked them, and then hap-hazardly arranged them around herself. Then she curled up beneath them and was almost instantly asleep.

He crept into the room and began looking around. Touching this or that. Wonder where her stuff was. No it's probably in Taker's room that's where she was supposed to stay tonight. I think I'll do her a favor.

He left the room as silently as he had entered. Walking down the hall he looked around. Sure no one was looking he entered Taker's room.

Looking around he found her bags and packed what looked like hers. Then he left the room with the bags in his hand.

He walked down the hall and back to Cena's room where he again entered without a sound. Opening the bags he spread her clothes all over the room. Then he left behind a note.

Kane/Sammy/Taker

Kane sat with Taker in the waiting room.

"Cena was going to say ICU was bad wasn't he?" Kane finally asked Taker.

"Yeah he was." Taker said. "It's for people who are injured badly and need extra care."

"So she's really bad then." Kane said.

"She could be worse." Taker said. "They didn't find spinal injury so that's good."

Kane looked stricken.

I didn't even think of that. He thought now getting more worried. What else didn't I think about?

I was so angry I'm not sure I heard all the doctor had to say. Kane realized.

"Taker tell me what the doctor said was wrong. I can't remember some of it." Kane said sounding ashamed.

"He said she's got a dislocated shoulder which isn't that bad. She also has a broken leg and a concussion." Taker replied.

"How bad is it really." Kane asked.

"He said a serious concussion. That could mean anything. From her being awake when you go up to it taking a little while." Taker said.

"I know he said something about her brain swelling." Kane said.

"He said that was a possibility he was watching for." Taker said reassuringly.

"Kane I know you're worried. But she a fighter. She fought for you once and she'll fight to come back from this too. Fight for her." Sammy said.

"How?" Kane asked.

"Do what you've been doing." Taker said.

Finally time came to head upstairs. They would only let Kane in because he was her husband. Taker and Sammy had to wait in the hall.

Kane walked in and was led to where she was.

The doctor was standing at the head of the bed.

"Are you the husband." The doctor asked.

"Yes." Kane managed to get out.

"Well there has been a development. Her brain has some swelling. We don't know how that will affect her right now." He said.

Kane fell to a knee beside her and took her hand tears filling his eyes he began to beg her not to give up.
