Falling Stars - Chapter 11
As Troy and Reese hobbled up to where the boys were waiting for them, Reese saw what seemed like concern flash in Jeff's eyes.
"What did you do?"
"Are you okay?"
"What's going on?"
The questions seemed to fly at the girls all at once. Troy looked around at the men in front of her, Adam, Matt and Andrew started back at her, their faces full of concern and confusion. Jeff's face was blank, as if he was trying to figure it out, but didn't want any help and then there was Jason. He hadn't said a word since they had walked up and he had barely looked her in the eye.
"Look guys, I know there are a lot of questions to be answered and I swear we will answer them. But first we need to get Reese to the hospital and I need to check on the girl who got attacked. As soon as we get things straightened out there we will tell you five everything, but at the hotel, alone. It is really important that you say nothing to nobody, now lets go," Troy said as she tried to take control of the situation.
Nodding his cooperation, Adam walked over and picked Reese up and started for the rental van they had been sharing. Once inside the van, Troy could feel the tension. Jeff had opted to drive hoping that it might help take his mind off of things. To make conversation, Troy asked Matt about Danielle and where she was that night.
"I sent her back to the hotel with Suzanne earlier. She said she was feeling really tired and Suzanne was heading back there anyway so she offered to take her."
"Really?" Adam asked. "Cause I saw Suzanne outside the arena while we were all waiting for the paramedics. I was one of the first people out there cause Kwik and Isis had stopped me in the hall and told me about her friend wanting to meet me. I came out right after my shower and found Isis and Kwik helping her friend.
There was maybe two other people out there and then Suzanne by herself standing near one of the trucks."
"That's weird," Matt said as he took in the information. "Maybe Suzanne needed to come back for something. Then again Dwayne had already headed back to the hotel after his promo. She would have just missed him."
"Well I never saw her go in, she just stood out there watching. I kind of waved and smiled in her direction, but she didn't acknowledge it," Adam said.
Troy listened intently to the conversation, hoping that Reese was too. Suzanne was quite the odd character, at least to Troy she was.
She almost always seemed a little nervous and could get angry at the smallest thing, but Troy never really thought much of it. Most of the women backstage were a little off, Troy always just figured it had to do with traveling with the men all the time.
The conversation ended when they reached the hospital. Adam and Jeff helped Reese get settled with a doctor while Tory headed off to find Isis and Kwik.
She knew Jason and Matt where behind her, but wasn't sure if she should wait for them or not. She found the couple in the emergency room waiting area.
"Hey guys, how is she?" Troy asked as she approached them.
"She is still unconscious, but the doctors says she will be fine when she wakes up. She was lucky that we heard her scream. How's Reese? Did you find her? Did she get the guy?" Kwik asked.
"I found her, she's fine, but unfortunately an injury that she sustained during the match kept her from catching the guy. Now I need to ask you a couple of questions about the guy Isis.
Reese said he was wearing a security uniform, she also told me that it was a security guard that wouldn't let Maria in with you, do you think you could describe him to me?" Troy asked as she pulled a pena dn pad from her bag.
"Don't you think you should leave this to the cops?" Isis asked.
"Look, I'm going to tell you two something that only two other people in the fed know. Now you have to promise me you will not say anything.
IF word gets out it could cost the lives of those that are already missing. Reese and I are Private Investigators hired by Vince McMahon to catch whoever has been harassing the WWF and WCW the last few months. The cops haven't got a clue and neither did we really until this. Isis, you and your friend could be the ones that help us solve this case and help us get the others back."
"Alright, I didn't see him that well, but I can try to describe him for you," Isis said.
After about fifteen minutes Isis had told Troy everything she could remember about the security guard. She felt horrible that she couldn't do more, but she had only been around him for a couple of minutes.
Troy reassured her that it was okay and that maybe Maria could help her out a little more.
"Excuse me, are you friends of Maria Davis?" a woman asked from behind the group.
