A new girl in town
Chapter 67
Kayla/Cena
Kayla dropped the phone back into her pocket you suddenly nerveless feeling fingers. Then she looked helplessly up at Cena.
"He said he wonders what I look like when crying. Then he said... that he can find me where ever I am and... and..." she couldn't complete the sentence. Hot tears of helplessness and frustration began rolling down her face and she wrapped her arms tightly about herself, as if doing so would somehow keep her from falling apart.
"Holy shit! Seriously!" Cena shouted. "This is way more intense than I thought it was. This has got to stop."
"But how? There's nothing we can do," Kayla said softly.
"Maybe we could set a trap for him?" Cena said. "I don't know but it has to stop."
"Huh? What kind of trap?" Kayla asked.
"I don't know." Cena said. "One of us stay awake and watch the other or watch out for him. Tie something loud to the door so if it opens we'll know?"
"We'll decide tonight." Cena said right now we have to head to the arena.
Kayla nodded and headed out of the bedroom. She paused in front of the couch to grab her bag, then she waited at the door for Cena.
Cena picked up his bag and joined Kayla and they headed out.
I can't believe this is happening. I've never known anyone who was stalked before how do you make it stop? Cena thought on the way to the car.
As Cena drove them to the arena, Kayla's thoughts spun in an incoherent mess of panic and fear.
Do I even want to know who's doing this?
They could really hurt me. Oh god oh god oh god!
What's going on with J.J.? How is Kane doing?
Who hates me enough to do this to me... and why?
She closed her eyes and willed herself to relax but it was no use. She couldn't cease the shaking in her hands and her whole body shivered with cold that only she could feel.
Taker/Kane/Sammy
Suddenly they were there for J.J.
I thought they said a half hour. Kane thought. Could it have already been that long?
Taker walked in to be sure there wasn't an issue with them taking J.J. but Kane just stood up and walked out of the ICU beside her then took a seat in the waiting room.
"Have either of you called Kayla?" Kane asked after a few minutes.
"Um no." Sammy said. "I was going to but then the doctor came with the news that they needed to put the sensor in and well I forgot."
"I should be the one to call anyway." Kane said reaching in his pocket for his phone.
He quickly dialed the number.
Kayla by jerked suddenly from her thoughts by her ringing phone. She felt almost relieved for the distraction and she reached to answer it quickly.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Kayla." Kane said. "I just wanted to update you on J.J. She's in surgery now to put a sensor in her head to measure pressure because it has gone up twice."
"Oh, thank god it's you. It's really good to hear your voice." Kayla said.
"Shit. That sounds... not good. Please tell me it's not, you know," Kayla said. She couldn't make herself finish the sentence.
"No it's not that bad yet." Kane said.
"How are things? Any problems?" Kane asked trying to get his mind off J.J. for just a moment.
"Kay. Eh, they're whatever. Boring as shit without you guys," Kayla said.
"So no problems with your stalker or Hunter?" Kane asked not believing her lies for a moment.
"Uh... fine. If you really must know... they found me. You know, in Cena's room last night or whatever. Um. They took shit. Underwear. It's really fucking embarrassing and I think I'm gonna die right now. They left a note... more of the same. They found us at the new hotel too. Left another note and a picture of me sleeping but whatever. Then they called again. Said I was photogenic, asked what I look like when I cry... and... and... fuc. This part kinda really scares me. They said they could... they could... fuck. They could do whatever they wanted to me," Kayla said.
"We will get to the bottom of this." Kane said. "You're phone has been compromised once get a camera and take pictures of any notes or stuff he leaves. They could come in handy later."
"Kay. Thanks. I just feel so fucking helpless, you know? I feel like I'm losing my mind. Every time something happens, I just... fuck," Kayla said.
"You're not losing your mind. That's what he's trying to make you believe. By the way last night you said this was all your fault. I was too upset to hear you then but this I not your fault. NONE of it." Kane said.
Kayla sighed.
"That's what Jon said too. But it is and no one's gonna change my mind. Everybody who gets involved with me pays for it. Facts are facts," Kayla said.
"I felt the same way when Hunter went at J.J. because of me. Afterwards I realized that feeding into that mess only made him stronger. It gave him a way to control me." Kane said matter of factly.
"Yeah well. You're not gonna win this one, sorry. Anyway, how are you doing? I know being there is hard," Kayla said.
"I think you're more stubborn than J.J. says I am." Kane said shaking his head.
"Sorry but I have to let you go. I'm getting dirty looks from the staff. I guess I'm not supposed to be using this thing here." Kane said.
"Kay. Take care of yourself, alright? And call me again when you can," Kayla said.
"Also, all of the hugs," she added.
"You take care as well Kayla. Hugs back to you." Kane said before hanging up.
"What's going on?" Taker asked.
Kane related the story of the phone call and the stalker getting into Cena's room the previous night.
"She's scared Taker." Kane said.
"She has a real need to be. This person is dangerous." Taker said.
"Do you think Cena can handle him." Kane asked.
"I just don't know." Taker replied.
"Maybe you should go back." Kane said.
"No I need to be here with you little brother. I want to be here." Taker said.
"Me too." Sammy said.
"So how do we help her if we're here and she's not?" Kane asked.
"I call in a few favors and that will put extra eyes on her." Taker said.
"Who are you calling?" Kane asked.
"Who do you think? The APA." Taker laughed. "They owe me."
Taker walked away and outside then called John and Ron.
When Ron answered Taker explained what was going on.
"Yeah we'll do it." Ron said. "Round the clock security."
"Good. Keep an eye on Hunter especially." Taker said.
"You got it." Ron said hanging up.
Then Ron explained what was happening to John.
Taker picked up his phone again and called Kayla.
Kayla's phone rang again.
"Fucking what," she muttered as she reached to answer it.
"Yeah, hello?" She said.
"Kayla it's Taker." Taker said into the phone once she answered.
"Kane told me what happened. I've setup security with the APA they'll be keeping an eye on you and the situation." Taker told her. "I can't leave him right now. But your stalker sounds more dangerous than we thought."
"Oh, hey. How you doing? Kay, I guess that's fine. Thanks," Kayla said.
"It better be fine." Taker laughed. "You need the protection and we're really worried about you."
"This fucking sucks. All of it. I hate feeling like this," Kayla said.
"I know you hate it. But you can't control it right now. If the guy would go at you face to face it would be taken care of by now. Because I know you can handle yourself but he's hiding in shadows and that makes things harder. You'll get through this believe me." Taker said.
"Yeah. Thanks again," Kayla said.
"Not a problem." Taker said. "I have to go now. They should be bringing J.J. back soon. So I need to get back upstairs."
"Kay. Good hearing from you. Get at me again when you can," Kayla said.
"I will." Taker said before hanging up.
Kayla/Cena
Once the call had ended, Kayla turned to Jon and relayed what Kane had said.
When did he become Jon? She wondered. Then she gave a mental shrug and dismissed the thought.
"He seems to be hanging in okay. That's good, yeah? And she's in the best hands she can be. But this person thing. How am I supposed to act like nothing is happening when everything is so... you know?" Kayla said.
Kayla's phone rang it was Taker. They chatted for a bit and Cena could tell she was upset when she was talking to him.
"He's got the APA doing security," Kayla said when the call had ended.
"Ron and John are pretty cool. That will give us more eyes looking out for you at the very least." Cena said.
Kayla nodded.
"If Taker's good with them, they're good with me," she said.
"They were part of the ministry back in the day. Taker knows exactly what they are capable of." Cena said. "If he thinks they can do the job I'm sure they can."
"Kay. I can't say I like it but I guess it can't hurt," Kayla said.
"We'll see how they want to work it. They are much better at security than I am. I proved what a great security guard I am last night." Cena said.
They pulled into the arena and Cena walked Kayla to her office.
"I'll see you at the meeting." Cena said. "Any problems at all you call me."
"That wasn't your fault. We were both exhausted, Jon. Some of it's on me too," Kayla said resting a hand against his shoulder.
"Kay. Thanks again," Kayla said.
It was my fault. Cena thought as he walked away. If I was any kind of friend I would have stayed up to make sure it didn't happen.
Reaching his locker room he went inside and was greeted by Chuck and Chavo.
"Where you been homes." Chavo asked.
"Yeah we haven't seen you in days." Chuck added.
"I've been busy." Cena said.
"We hanging out tonight?" Chavo asked.
"Can't got some things to take care of. Maybe soon." Cena replied.
Kayla sat down at the desk and absently turned on the computer and both monitors. As the computer booted up, she connected her speaker dock to her phone and set the phone to shuffle. An Aaron Richards song soon filled the room and she sang along as she set everything up for the night.
She had just gotten into the rhythm of things when she suddenly realized that the light from the door was being blocked.
"Shit, forgot to shut the door. Shit, wait. Where did the light go?" She said as she stared blankly in the direction of the door.
There in the doorway stood two very large figures mostly in shadow. Though one looked darker than the other.
"Uh... hey? Can I do something for you guys?" She asked looking startled.
"You know you really should keep this closed and locked if you can." The darker shadow said.
"Yeah, about that... I kinda forgot," Kayla said flushing slightly.
Great, show two dudes who could kill you fucking dead with a look that you're a total idiot. Kayla thought.
"We kinda expected more caution from someone being stalked." The lighter shadow said.
Kayla flushed harder.
I am going to fucking die. Someone just kill me already and put me out of my misery. Kayla thought in mortification.
"You'd think it even more if you knew I was a marine. Fuck, guess you know now. I'll be more careful, I swear," she said.
"Marine or not you are a woman and need to be careful especially now." The lighter shadow said stepping into the room, closely followed by the darker one. On their shirts in large read letters it said APA.
Kayla bristled at the woman comment.
"Just an FYI, we aren't all dumb fucking bitches," she said defensively.
"Oh I know that." John said. "But right now you're acting like one."
"Yeah your first reaction should have been to step backward and demand to know who we were." Ron said.
"Fucking excuse me? Who the fuck do you think you are? I don't need this shit, especially right now. You don't know me; you just saw me make one fucking mistake. Newsflash: it happens to the best of us. It's called being human, bud; maybe you've heard of it," Kayla said firing up.
"That's better a good offence is the best defense." John said laughing.
"Door doesn't lock Ron." The lighter man said.
"Doesn't matter John." One of us will be outside.
"Great. Can I get back to work? I wish I were being paid to do otherwise but I'm not," Kayla said.
"Just one question." Ron said. "What meetings are you supposed to go to?"
"Just the Staff." Kayla said.
"Well we need to go to talent too. So you need to come up with a good reason to be there." John said.
Kayla looked at him blankly.
"Dude, this is your show. Come up with a reason and I'll make it convincing," she said.
"We don't even know what your job is here." Ron said. "How can we possibly come up with a decent excuse?"
Kayla rolled her eyes.
"I'm the head of digital media. That includes everything from completely redoing the website to single-handedly launching a new network and everything in between," she said.
"What has that go to do with the talent?" John asked.
Kayla shrugged.
"I have no clue. But Vince has has made it rather clear that he expects me there so I'm there. It's indirectly related to you guys, I guess. I'll be building all of your video packages for the shows. Vince also expects me to come up with plans for original network content. If I could pick your brains about that sometime, it would help a lot," she said.
"Yeah everyone has to do Staff. This original content you'd have to know the wrestlers pretty well for that to work wouldn't you?" Ron asked.
"I see where you're going Ron. How well do you know the wrestlers already?" John asked.
"Not that well. I know a few people but mostly I don't," Kayla said.
"Well." John said. "That's your excuse."
Kayla grinned.
"You're a fucking genius... times two," she said.
"DAMN" Ron said. "No one has ever called us that before."
John laughed.
Kane/Taker/Sammy
Taker got back up onto the floor and saw that Kane was still sitting in the waiting area.
"They are just getting her settled back in." Sammy said. "She came back a few minutes ago."
"Good did everything go ok?" Taker asked.
"The surgeon hasn't come to talk to us yet." Sammy said.
