A new girl in town
Chapter 32
Wade/Cassie/Vanessa
Vanessa's anger grew as King continued to bash Kane at every opportunity.
Come up with some new material. She thought.
You've said the same shit at least 5 times. I'll slap you myself if you don't shut the fuck up.
In the ring Crash had just grabbed Taker's foot as he bounced off the ropes causing him to fall.
"Shit, that didn't look good," Wade said.
Taker got to his feet quickly and the match continued to go back and forth without either team getting anywhere.
Taker tagged Kane and he came in with a fury.
"Look the retard is back in the ring." King said.
Cassie took her cane off of her belt loop and took aim. Vanessa redirected her hand slightly.
"Knock 'm dead, babe," she whispered... and Cassie swung.
As the cane made contact, Wade pressed a cup into Vanessa's hand.
"Don't say I never did anything for you," Wade said.
"Where did you get that?" Vanessa asked.
"Some guy just gave it to me," Wade said.
Vanessa took aim at King's back and launched the drink like a grenade.
King whipped his headset off and spun around.
"What are you fucking blind I'm trying to work here." He shouted.
"You totally just insulted an actual blind person, mother fucker." Wade said.
"What the fuck." King said. "That's two events in a row you've hit me. Do it again at any event and I'll have you and your friends walked out and Banned."
Then King turned around and took a seat again replacing his headset.
"So worth it," Vanessa said with a smirk.
"What the hell is wrong with you King?" JR said covering his mic. "What are you doing threatening fans?"
King didn't say anything just tried to get his wet shirt from sticking to him and began announcing again.
"Say anything and I'll fucking cut you," Cassie whispered.
"Yeah, I think we've made our point," Vanessa added.
"That fucker better pray that I don't meet him going down a dark alley at night," Wade said.
King didn't say anything more.
Now I smell like a beer. King thought wrinkling his nose.
But he kept up his usual bullshit.
Finally even with Crash at ringside Kane and Taker got control of the match and won.
They all exchanged gleeful fist bumps as Taker and Kane headed up the ramp and disappeared in to the backstage area.
"That's how it's done!" Wade yelled.
"Say word," Cassie added.
"They're very impressive," Vanessa said.
Kane/Taker
Getting back to the locker room they showered at the same time in their careers.
Doesn't matter anymore. Kane thought. He's seen it now.
Taker just smiled as they walked back together.
I know I've seen but he could still have wanted to shower alone. Taker thought.
Then with the show ending they gathered their things and waited for J.J.
Room seems empty without Sammy. Taker thought.
Finally J.J. arrived and showered and they were ready to go.
Stepping out of the locker room Kane got a whiff of stale beer.
Looking to his left he saw King coming toward him looking pissed.
"Kane we need to talk." King said.
"About what?" Kane asked not having spoken to the guy since he'd broken his jaw.
"Those friends of yours. The ones you seated behind me. They keep attacking me and I won't stand for it." King said.
"What makes you think they are my friends doing it?" Kane asked knowing exactly who they were.
"Well let's see one is blind, one is burned and then there is one more." King said. "They've got to be friends of yours because they only attack me during your matches. They seem to have a problem with what I say."
"Then don't say things that upset them." Kane said. "Still doesn't mean they are my friends." Kane added trying not to laugh.
"I checked you booked those seats tonight." King said. "If they do it again I'll have them banned. So you better have a chat with them."
"Or what?" Kane said.
"Or I'll have them banned and or arrested." King said turning to walk away.
Vanessa/Wade/Cassie
The remainder of the show seemed to fly by. As the final match ended, Wade looked at the girls.
"Kane wants us to meet him out back," he said.
"Sounds good," Cassie replied. Vanessa nodded.
They waited for most of the crowd to depart, and then they made their way out of the seating area and to the back of the arena.
They could see fans lined up five thick trying to get autographs at the gate. Some of the wrestlers stopped and gave a few before driving away.
"This really is the 24-7 experience," Vanessa said as she observed the scene.
"Yeah, for real," Cassie replied.
Then a girl looked at him closely.
"You're Wade fucking Wilson!" she screamed.
Wade laughed.
"Guilty," he said.
"Oh my god! I fucking love you! Can you sign something for me?" she asked in a rush.
Wade smiled and signed the book the girl pulled out.
"Oh my god, selfy time!" she yelled as he handed it back.
"Yeah, sure," he said as the girl pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of the two of them.
"You've totally made my name. People keep saying that you're super chill and shit and now I get to agree!" she said.
"Oh, I'm Gabby," she added.
Wade smiled and gave her a quick hug, then she bounced off.
Kayla
Kayla breathed a sigh of relief as her phone went off with an alarm. She'd taken the time to set a few for the mandatory meeting and the end of the show. The last thing she needed was Vince following through on the threat he'd made earlier.
She quickly saved her work, and then she shrugged on her coat and picked up her bag.
She left the office quickly and made her way out to the parking area.
Kane/J.J. /Kayla/ Wade
Kane and Taker stopped just beyond the gate and signed a few autographs while the three of them piled in the back of their SUVs joining Kayla. Other people tried to jump in to only to be pushed out by the four of them.
"Tell me about it." Kane said. "These guys are pretty tame." He said as he pulled away.
"We're lucky your fan didn't try to get in too." J.J. said to Wade.
"You saw that huh." Wade said smiling broadly.
Taker pulled away right behind him.
"Wade Wilson's fangirls striketh back," Kayla quipped.
"Hey, it's not my fault!" Wade said loudly.
"You're the one who's shirtless and shit," Kayla said rolling her eyes.
Wade laughed.
"Kane, Cassie has a present for you when we get back," Wade said as if he had been waiting to say this all night.
"It's kind of from all of us," he added.
"She does? It is?" Kayla asked in confusion.
Then her phone went off with a text.
Wade:
She's giving him the iPhone she upgraded from last year. You know, the one she's apparently been carrying around ever since for who knows what fucking reason.
"Ah... I see` now," Kayla said with a grin.
"A gift?" Kane asked surprised. "It's not my birthday."
J.J. just smiled at his response.
"We have however many birthdays to make up for, man," Wade replied.
Kane blushed for the millionth time today.
I don't understand. He thought. Why would they try to make up for birthdays? I've only just met them.
"So Kyle's in stoner heaven down in Amsterdam. Have you seen his Snapchat post?" Wade said.
"Nah, I've been off the social media radar all day," Kayla replied as she took out her phone.
"Oh my fuck, dude is so fucking stoned," she said as the short video ended.
"They do have the best shit," Wade said.
"Like you'd know, Mr. I'm too cheap to pay for cabs," Kayla said.
Wade rolled his eyes.
"Look at Bri's next," he said.
"Girl, put your fuckin' clothes back on!" He yelled as he re-watched the video from earlier.
"Why should she? She has an amazing body. Nothing wrong with a little body positivity," Kayla said.
"You sound like Cassie and V," Wade complained.
"Sorry, babe. I think your arguments are invalid this time around," Kayla said patting Wade on the shoulder.
Kane listened to their easy banter and smiled.
They are all so good together. He thought.
Before long they were at the hotel. Taker pulled in right behind Kane and parked beside him.
They all piled out and headed into the hotel.
As usual there was a group of fans so Taker and Kane walked over and signed a few autographs before joining the others to head upstairs.
Kayla/Wade/Cassie/Vanessa
"Present time finally?" Wade asked as soon as they'd gotten inside of the room.
"Fine, weirdo," Cassie said with a sigh as she handed Wade the phone and charger.
"Hmmm. It could use a little more Wade," he said. Then he left the room.
"The hell?" Cassie asked as the door closed.
Vanessa and Kayla shrugged.
Wade headed downstairs and quickly located the gift shop he'd noticed earlier.
Thank god I have a decent visual memory. He thought as he entered.
Kayla is beyond hopeless with directions; how she's driven all these years is a fuckin' mystery.
Cassie's pretty good but she uses different landmarks because of her vision than we do.
Vanessa's not bad either but she still doesn't drive.
His thoughts wandered aimlessly as he made his selections and paid. Then he returned to the room.
"Why the fuck do you have... at least ten boxes?" Kayla asked as she looked at what Wade had brought back.
"And why the hell are they all different sizes?" Vanessa asked.
"Oh my god, did you get a bag and tissue paper too, you ridiculous lunatic?" Cassie asked as she listened to Wade removing things from a bag.
"Watch and listen, girls. This is how you make a present epic," Wade said with a grin.
