Homecoming (OC Story)

40

"Newly crowned IWGP Intercontinental Champion Michael Rivers, whose ring alias is "Big Money Maverick" was shot at the airport yesterday. Its being reported that Michael is in stable condition.
Sources are saying that Rivers fiance, well known rapper and producer Janelly Badd along with his parents was also on the scene.
According to security tapes, the alleged shooters seemed to know the party involved after the look of hesitation from one of the suspects." The news blared from the screen on a cell phone in a hotel outside of town.

???? POV

"Okay, we did what you wanted. Now pay us our money so I can separate from this fool" this clown said after he thinks he done the job.

"I told you I wanted either him or her dead. Y'all stupid asses don't listen." I said to them as I took a pull of my blunt.

"Look, other reports are saying that he won't wrestle again. He has nothing now. So you gonna pay us or what?"

I tossed them a few stacks. This was pissing me off and I wanted them the fuck out of my face.

"you told us $50,000. This is only 25....cheap bastard. And you call yourself Dolla Droppa!"

"Thats for not doing the job properly! Be thankful you're even getting paid for that fuck job. Now get out of here. Its too hot."

The two exit the room and goes to separate cars in a garage.

"We gotta get as far away from here as possible. I'm going south. Hold up. Why you got that look on your face Tim?"

"Tay, I don't think we should have done any of this. This money wasn't worth it...."

"You're tripping. It was a lot more than that phone we tried to take from that bitch."

"And that was stupid too. All of it is man."

"Oh so this was stupid huh? You were soft then and you're soft now!" Tay pulls out the same gun that shot Michael.

"Don't do this Tim man, no!"

*pop*pop*pop*

"Well, I'll just take your cut and get out of here..."

Tay takes Tim's money and leaves the scene.

Michael's POV

Its been a few days since everything has happened. I still have the bullet near my spine, bit I've been doing some walking but things feel wierd. I wanna be upset about things. All that's on my mind is Janelly. My wife to be. The now mother of my child.

"You're pregnant........" I said to her. I guess saying Im gonna push past your birth control is a real thing."

"Well, I didnt feel it shift the last few times. I got it taken out when I got an official determination." She said smiling trying to hold it together.

"You don't have to worry about that anymore. I knew something was special about the last time. Miss don't pull out tonight"

Janelly busts out laughing. "Boy shut up! Well at least you know it wasn't spring rolls making me throw up. What are we gonna do about the wedding? We can postpone...."

"Baby, when is our wedding?"I asked her as I was about reassure her.

"Next month...."

"Then we aren't postponing nothing. If I'm not ready, just prop me up and let's say I do." I was doing my best laying in this bed to get her mind off everything.

"I'm just gonna cut to it." Janelly said wiping her eyes. "I almost lost you right in front of my face the other day. I close my eyes and I see you jumping in front of me and hitting the ground. That image is gonna be with me for I don't know how long."

I motion for her to lay in the bed with me and put her head on my chest and begin to cry.  I give her the biggest hug I could. My lungs still hurt, but thats my woman. My Janelly. She will get everything from my last breath to my last ounce of strength.

"Very soon, we will have new and wonderful memories that will flush away all your fears my love. I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle. Dance with you at the reception, and have your legs around my head that evening."

"Oh you better be healed up because ain't no stopping wifey. Thank goodness we had everything done early. But are you gonna at least let me in on these surprises? One clue?" Janelly says kissing his chest as she begins to feel better.

"Nope. Just know you will love it."

My dad runs into the room. Something must have happened as he comes in mad as hell. "Turn the TV on now!"

"We are live at the East County Hospital as one of the suspects in the shooting of Michael Rivers, known only as Tim, has been shot himself. He has been seriously injured. However, the only words he's been making out is "Dolla paid us". Authorities will be gaining more information as soon as possible. But it seems as this case can be shut and justice for Big Money can happen sooner than later"

"Dolla Droppa was behind this...He paid Tay and Tim to try to kill us....."

Janelly begins to cry and I was pissed. So pissed I got up from the bed and threw a chair as I fell to the floor seeing as I got up too fast.
