Randy had gone into his room and closed the door but never bothered to lock
it. He shed his shirt and tossed it onto the bed going into the bathroom
leaning over and starting the water to the shower. He had to do something
that was relaxing and it was either get into a nice warm shower, or go back
up to the rooftop and just quietly by himself.

He reached in to make sure that the water was warm enough without being to
hot and then started removing his jeans. He walked back out and picked up
his cell phone from the nightstand looking to see if he had any missed
calls or anything.

Down the hall, John had given the note to Manu and gave him the
message. Manu delivered it as he was told to do and it wasn't long after
that Cody was storming out of the room going to the room number to see what
it was all about. Once there, he banged on the door to be let into the
room.

It opened a bit and Mike stood there in the doorway in nothing but his
boxers panting heavily.

"Where's my boyfriend?"

"Who? What are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid with me Mike, where is my boyfriend?"

"Who is it babe?" John called out from the bedroom.

"Cody, and he wants to know where his boyfriend is. Know anything about
what he is talking about?"

"Shit!" Ted said as he got up out of the bed where he was laying with
John. He quickly slid on his boxers and made his way out of the bedroom. He
didn't even bother to hide the tent that was in his boxers showing what he
had been up to.

"Hey Cody, come on in. Have some fun with us."

"Is this why you keep leaving me all the time? To come and have fun with
someone else? I thought you loved me Ted."

"I do love you Cody, you should really come and join us."

"Is that all you fucking care about? I can't believe this." Cody said his
lisp starting to show as his nostrils were flaring.

"Come on babe, come in. It will relax you, make you feel better. You know
you want to."

Without even thinking Cody did the first thing his instincts told him
to. He reached out and popped Ted square in the jaw trying to get a second
swing in but Mike blocked the second one and closed the door up some so
that Cody couldn't get to Ted. Cody stormed off down the hallway making his
way back to the room that use to be his and Ted's.

"Asshole!" Mike called down the hall after Cody.

It didn't do any good, Cody was already on his way back to his room. He
walked in slamming the door and then walked to the bedroom slamming that
door as well not even acknowledging Manu asking how he was.

"What have you done now Teddy?" Manu thought to himself as he got up from
the door and went to the bedroom door to see how Cody was doing.

Ted walked into the room with his boxers on still and nothing else holding
his jaw as he headed straight for the bedroom.

"What happened?" Manu asked.

"Son of a bitch slugged me. Now get out of my way."

"I'm sorry Ted, I can't do that." Manu said standing his ground blocking
the bedroom door from Ted getting to it.

"I said move."

"And I said no."

Ted reared back ready to hit Manu and swung his fist to connect with the
man's jaw. What he didn't realize was that Manu saw it coming and grabbed
it stopping it's momentum and shoved him back. It was then Manu's fist
connecting with Ted's jaw knocking him flat on his ass.

"I don't think you should be here right now. Why don't you go back to
whoever's bed you crawled out of and get the fuck out of here?"

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"Do you think I'm fucking stupid Ted? I've known about you since you two
started dating and I didn't want to hurt Cody so I bit my tongue. Now if
you don't get out of here right this instant I'm going to call security and
have them haul your ass out of here. Which do you want? Think Vince will be
happy with having security explain to him that they had to escort you off
hotel grounds?"

Ted got up off the ground and tried once more to get to the bedroom door
but Manu again stopped him. Ted swung and popped him with a stiff shot but
it didn't phase the man a bit. Manu charged Ted grabbing him around the
waist and carrying him over to the door of the room. He tossed him out onto
the hallway floor and acted like it was nothing.

Ted got up off the ground and glared at Manu, "This isn't fucking over."

He stormed back down to John and Mike's room slamming the door, which
brought the attention of several other superstars mainly Maria and Beth who
was coming up the hallway. They just looked at each other and continued on
to their rooms.

Back in Cody and Manu's hotel room Manu knocked on the door to see if Cody
was all right but he had apparently heard Ted and locked the door to keep
him out.

"It's okay Cody, he's gone. Cody, are you okay man? Come on, talk to me. I
don't want to see you like this kiddo."

There was still no answer so Manu walked out of the hotel room making sure
he had his key-card and locked the door. He walked up the hallway just a
bit and knocked on Randy's door hoping that maybe Randy could help coax him
out.

There was no answer so Manu knocked again. He noticed the door was ajar and
pushed it open as he looked inside.

"Randy?"

He heard the water coming from the bathroom and walked into the room
heading for the bathroom. The door was still open and Randy was in the
shower when Manu cleared his throat.

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Manu. You need to come down the hall man, Cody's locked himself
in the room."

"Is he alright?"

"I don't know, John brought him a paper or something, he left for a couple
of minutes and then he came back. Ted came back holding his jaw and
explained what happened. He was being a dick so I popped him too." Manu
laughed.

Randy turned the water off, opened the door to the shower, and pointed over
to the counter next to where Manu was standing.

Manu looked and grabbed the towel handing it to Randy. As soon as he did,
he left the bathroom and sat down on the bed to give Randy some privacy. A
little too late mind you, he had already gotten an eyeful of Randy.
 
Randy pulled on his boxers, and came out digging through his duffel bag for
a pair of pants. He found a pair of gray jogging pants and pulled them on.

"Okay, lets go."

Manu walked out of the room and watched Randy lock his door. He hadn't even
bothered to put a shirt on. He followed Manu down the hallway and waited
for him to open the door. They walked into the hotel room and Manu knew
that Cody had been out of the room. He had came and got a pillow off the
couch.

"Cody?" Manu asked tapping on the door.

"What?" came the response from the other side.

"You have a visitor."

"I don't fucking want to see anyone right now. Tell them to come back."

"Codeman, open the door."

A couple of seconds later the lock could be heard unlocking. Randy twisted
the doorknob and nodded to Manu that it would be all right. He went into
the room closing the door back. He walked over, lay down on the bed next to
Cody, and rubbed the man's back.

"I'm sorry Codeman, I heard what happened."

"He's fucking cheating on me Randy. He was down the hall having a fucking
three-way with John and Mike."

Randy closed his eyes, as he knew that had to have hurt Cody. It wasn't
just one person, but he had been with another couple. He stretched out on
the bed and took hold of Cody's shoulder.

"Come here." he said.

Cody looked at Randy wondering what he was asking but did as he was
told. Randy wrapped his arm around Cody and pulled him closer. Cody's head
was resting on Randy's chest and Randy draped his arm over Cody, letting
his hand rest on the man's back.

"Let it out bud, you can talk to me about anything you want to talk
about. I'm here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on."

He could feel the tears on his chest and knew that Cody was trying to hold
it inside. That was the worst thing he could have done. After the John
incident, Randy had spent countless hours on hotel rooftops crying.

After laying there crying for a couple of minutes Cody shifted until he was
lying kind of on his back with his head resting on Randy's arm.

"How did you manage to make it after you and John broke up?"

"Well. It was rough but you get use to it after awhile. I mean working with
the person takes a toll on you as well, but you just have to keep in mind
that shit happens. Eventually the right person will come through and
completely erase any past relationship problems you've ever had."

Cody nodded as he looked up at the ceiling while he was thinking.

"Randy, if you have other things to do you can go. I mean I don't want to
keep you."

"No man, it's cool. I was just starting to take a shower when Manu came and
got me. It's fine."

"I don't want to keep you from doing what you need to do, go take your
shower Randy."

"Relax; I'm fine, besides I have all night."

Cody closed his eyes as he kept his head lying on Randy's arm. Before he
knew it, he had slipped off to sleep the tearstains evident on his
face. Randy noticed by the different tone of his breathing and smiled to
himself. He shifted and pulled Cody closer to him letting the man's
forehead rest against his cheek. He closed his eyes as well just laying
there not knowing it wasn't going to take much for him to go to sleep
either.

A couple of hours had passed and both men had turned in their sleep. Cody
was facing the closet door and Randy was right behind him his arms locked
around the man's waist as he slept as well. Manu had gotten up from the
couch and walked over to the bedroom door. He tapped lightly to see if they
were still talking or if everything was all right.

"Guys? Everything okay?"

He didn't hear anything so he went ahead and opened the door that hadn't
been locked. The sight within brought a smile to the big man's face. He
went back to the living room and grabbed one of the spare blankets that
were in there. He walked back into the bedroom and threw the blanket over
both men lightly rubbing Cody's arm as he smiled down at him. He walked
back out of the bedroom closing the door behind him as he walked out of the
room.

He went back down the hallway to where he knew that Ted was staying. He
knocked on the door and John opened the door this time.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I came after the key to the room that Ted has. He's not welcome back to
the room and if I don't get it now then I will come in there and take
it. Got it?"

Ted who had been sitting at the table with Mike got up, took the key off
the table, and threw it at Manu.

"Remember, this isn't over. I'll make sure you pay for what you did so help
me."

"Keep flapping your gums, I shut your mouth once and I will do it again in
a heartbeat."

Manu took the key and the door was shut in his face. He just shook his head
and walked back to the room opening the door tossing Ted's old key on the
coffee table. He locked the door and knew he would get good nights sleep
now that Ted couldn't get back in. He turned the TV off though just in case
Ted did try something, at least that way he would hear him and could stop
him from getting to Cody..
