Sanitorium (Roman Reigns Story)

Chapter 18: Discoveries - Part 1

I wake up in this very comfortable and overly expensive bed. I stretch, feeling better than I have in a very long time. I look around at my new room. I feel so wrong for going through with this, but I have to. If Roman and I are truly the only ones that can help all of these people, then we need to cooperate. I guess Roman isnt having a hard time accepting his fate.

After a peaceful shower I am on my bed lotioning up when I hear Roman showering. Ever since that simulation in the obstacle course where Roman was shirtless, that is all I can think about when I hear running water. I imagine the muscles in his chest and abs and how huge his arms look. I have seen him shirtless before, but I just cant seem to get the thought out of my head.

I throw on my white jumpsuit and grab my 'LEADER' gloves out of the drawer. I know they want us to wear it, but I do not want to draw more attention to myself, especially after what happened yesterday. I guess I dont have much of a choice in the matter. Everyone knows we are the leaders and everyone knows that if they dont listen to us then there will be consequences. I am afraid for the people who choose to rebel. Im afraid of what will happen to them. I tie my hair in a bun and put my new black boots on. At least these dont have the word 'LEADER' on them in giant letters, but they are more comfortable than the other boots that we were supplied with.

I meet Roman outside of our rooms and he nods to me.

"Good morning." He says, walking behind me with his three security guards.

"Good morning." I say, yawning.

"I thought I was highly favored. Why do I still need three of you?" He asks the guards.

"Because you are dangerous. And we need the extra people for your girlfriend. Seems someone has got it out for her." One of his guards answers.

Roman frowns. "I can handle anyone who tries to attack her." He says confidently.

"Boss doesnt want you to have any altercations with the other inmates. That's our job." He answers flatly.

"Well tell your boss if someone touches her then we will have ourselves a good 'ol altercation and he will be short one inmate." Roman says with vengence.

My eyes get wide. I think he is a little crazy. Just a little.

"Roman listen to them. They will take care of it." I say, turning to face him.

Roman says nothing and keeps looking forward. I sigh and turn back around. I take it he isnt going to listen to them, or me. I should be grateful. He is willing to beat the hell out of anyone that messes with me. Cant say that about most guys nowadays.

We make it to the meditation room and everyone in there hasnt been hooked up to the simulation pods yet. The guards watch the door and Roman and I are standing at the front of the room, looking down at all of the people sitting on the ground. Some of them are glaring at us and shaking their heads. They must think we're traitors. Roman folds his arms and looks at everyone, maybe trying to intimidate them? I clasp my hands together in front of me, trying to develop a more authoritative pose.

"We will be monitoring your training from now on. It's time to kick it in high gear. Im tellin ya right now, you dont have to like us, but you damn sure have to respect and listen to us or you will find yourself in some deep shit. There is no light at the end of the tunnel and if you try to escape..." He turns around and looks at the guards behind the door. "Dont try to escape. I expect nothing but the best from all of you. This is your opportunity. Now go do your training." He says, waving them off.

I look at him. He really plays the 'bad cop' role very well. I watch as everyone gets hooked up to the simulation pods. I dont want to watch them get zapped for however long we have to be in here. I nudge Roman.
