Haunted By The Past (Sami and Adrian)

Chapter 13 - I Can Protect Everyone

Hey guys before we start I just realised I made a mistake at the start of the last chapter. Dean mentioned how Luna would have been a target of Corey the second she walked into his hotel room... Well that was supposed to be hospital room. I've only just noticed and I have changed it, sorry for any confusion. Anyways, back to the neeeeeew chapter!!

Luna agreed to stay with Dean for the rest of the night. He did insist but not to the extent she felt like she had no choice. Dean would give her that choice, he wasn't a controlling kind of guy. It was all down to her, completely up to her. Would she want to risk it alone and something happen or stay with Dean and pretty much guarantee her safety with the rest of the guys around? Staying with Dean was her choice. It was the logical choice but she didn't make it because if logic, no, because she felt safe with Dean. He'd been there when she had been upset over losing a patient, of course it was luck that he was there at the time.

Everyone was still in the locker room waiting when Luna and Dean finally returned. Dean had his hand rested on her waist as he opened the door, still looking for Corey. Dean was definitely on edge, he couldn't help it. He didn't want Luna to get hurt because she was associated with him. He wouldn't be able to handle the fact that someone as innocent as Luna, a sweet and gentle girl, would get hurt because if the friendship that they shared.

"I don't think we were followed by anyone. Sami, Adrian, this is Luna."
"Luna? Dean speaks very highly of you."
"He does? Well, I guess I should tell you he speaks very highly of you two aswell."
"Awwww, Dean has a nice streak in him. Look, now he's blushing."
"Sami shut up."
"Nah, don't really feel like it."
"Whatever." Dean replied, shoving his hands into his jeans pockets. "When are we leaving?"
"After Adrian and I work the main event."
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that."
"Dean, you'd forget your head if it wasn't screwed on."
"Ha..ha..ha. Funny."
"I know, I'm hilarious. Wait where did Owens go?"
"He got called away. Emergency apparently."
"Are you ever gonna give him a chance Sami?"
"I don't know Adrian. He almost killed me. It's not easy to forget that."
"Sorry."
"It's ok dude. If anything happens, it's gonna take time."
"Yeah, it will."
"Sami, Adrian, main event segment up now. Head to the gorilla." A crew man said, peering his head through the door. "Randy, I've been given this letter to give to you.
"Thanks."
"See you guys soon."

Dean and Luna talked between themselves while Randy was reading his letter.

Randall,

I see Dean got his beautiful nurse to safety... well at least that's what you all think. I'm sure I've explained this already, I'm watching you all the time. I have my spies and you won't believe who they are. Trust me when I tell you none of you are safe. I could kill any of you tomorrow if I felt like it.

Don't give me that temptation. I might actually do it. I guess you need to be on your guard. Do me a favour and not tell anyone, I don't want to have to involve your girlfriend do I? Don't worry, she will remain safe... Well as long as no one finds out about my letter to you and I still need to find your house.

I'm always following you. I will strike one of these days. You'll know when I have, I will have any own signature on it. I promise to make it worth your while, worth the wait. Keep everyone safe until then. Maybe I'll write soon or maybe I'll try something tomorrow, I haven't decided yet. Keep an eye out, I can strike anytime anywhere. I could even be outside your locker room right now. Good luck watching over everyone.

Love,
Corey.

"Randy you ok man? You look kinda pale."
"Yeah of course. When aren't I ok? I'm gonna quickly head to catering. Just going to grab a few snacks, want anything?"
"Ummmm, brownies if there is any left. Luna?"
"Flapjacks?"
"Ok, flapjacks and brownies. Be back soon."

The second he could find an empty room he locked himself inside. He kicked the walls, screamed at himself. How was he going to keep this letter to himself? How could he be there to protect everyone every minute, every second if the day? Now he had the fear of the fact Corey might try something tomorrow. He needed to be with everyone all day. That was going to be impossible. All would consume him. He took a deep breath. All he had to do was make sure that everyone made it back to the hotel rooms each. It really couldn't be that hard, could it? Just keep watch over them like he already had done... well apart from Dean's attack, everyone had been safe. Just do what your doing now Randy. You can protect everyone.

He laughed at himself for a moment. Getting himself into a state. He was silly.
"I can protect everyone. I can. It's my unwritten duty... a duty to myself."

He left the room, quickly heading to catering to get what Dean and Luna asked for. He grabbed a few bits for himself and headed back to the locker room. He arrived back the same time as Sami and Adrian did.
"Hey viper."
"Hey you dudes win?"
"Of course."
"Sweet! Let's go team ex NXT."
"Let's head inside."

They opened the door to see Dean plaiting Lunas hair. None of them had seen him be so delicate. He was gently moving the hair across, overlapping it. They stood there until he had finished and figured out how to put a hairband him.
"How's that?"
"Perfect. Thanks Dean. By the way, we have an audience."
"Yeah I bet we- Oh shit! You saw nothing."
"What did we see?" Sami said cheekily.
"Me doing tha-... Sami, that's clever."
"Well, you don't need to tell me I'm clever. Tell Adrian I'm the clever one."
"Hey! I'm rather clever too ya know."
"Yeah yeah Adrian keep telling yourself that."
"Don't make me Red Arrow you. You know I will."
"Well, don't make me Helluva Kick you."
"Alright girls, put your handbags away."
"Don't get involved Randy. Leave the children to argue for a moment."
"Dean!"
"What?!"
"Shuddup."
"Nope."
"Urgh, Adrian, I'm riding with you."
"Like you usually do."
"Shhhhhh. Stop embarrassing me."
"Why are you getting embarrassed, you're like this all the time?"
"Shut up."

*With Kevin, phone call with Corey*

"Corey, how's things?"
"Very well Kevin. Very well. I believe Randall got his letter. He's going to be on edge."
"What did you put in there?"
"Oh, just keep an eye out. I told him I have spies and they are watching all day every day. I told him I might go after one of them tomorrow."
"Ooooooo, how very nice. Who's the target?"
"My target... hmmmmm, I've already gone for Dean. Perhaps I should... I know. I'll remind them who I'm after and give them a taster of what's to come for their dear little Canadian. I'll give Sami a glimpse of his future..."
