Chapter 12: Threatens

                                    

                                          
She woke up in her bed because of the sun shining through her curtains. She had lunch with her daughter who seemed to appreciate the babysitter who looked after her last night. Lini knew that Agnès ate a good pizza while watching her idol's various matches with the babysitter who was also a fan of his. Lini is happy that her daughter enjoyed herself like her mother by her side. She leaves her house, coffee in hand, to get the mail from her mailbox. She looks at the different envelopes she has received and a letter catches her eye. She opens the envelope and takes out a sheet, it looks like a letter written with magazine scraps that form a sentence:
"You'll be next"
Her legs start to shake, her cup of coffee crashes to the floor, her tears start to well up in her eyes. She takes her phone in her shaking hands and dials the number for Will, who picks up quickly. "Will...come home...please..." she said crying on the phone.
She goes home trying not to cry in front of her daughter who doesn't understand why her mother is like this. The next? Could this be the one who killed Josh and now, two years later, is going to hurt her like he did her husband?

Will has come to Lini's as quickly as possible, he finds her curled up in her sofa crying while Agnès has tears in her eyes, not wanting her mother to be sad. Will orders Agnes to go to her room so he can talk to Lini as an adult. He asks what happened and she points to the coffee table, he looks where Lini is pointing and sees a sheet with a single sentence written with magazine scraps. "You'll be next" he read. He takes the letter in his hands, analyzes it while Lini is still crying. He looks at her sadly, sits down and takes her in his arms.
"I am here", Reassured Will rubbing his hand along the back of Lini who is crying hotly. "He...he's going to kill me..." She said sniffling trying to speak calmly but couldn't.
"I won't let him. I will protect you." He reassured, he rubbed Lini's back in an attempt to calm her down, holding her firmly in his arms. They decide to go to the police station to warn of this threat, saying that it's normal if they find Will's fingerprints because he took the sheet in his hands.
Lini is packing her bags to go to the next town for the next show, she is in no mood to deal with Taker's temper if he decides to be tough on her again but she has to go. She kisses Agnes and hugs Will, thanking him for being there for her.

She arrived at her hotel, her face closed, still thinking about the letter she received this morning. She sits on an armchair by her window and watches the fans sing along with their favorite wrestlers. What if he's here? What if he's going to kill me now? Will he kill me when I least expect it? A tear started rolling down her cheeks, terrified of what was going to happen tonight. She began to cry bitterly.
~!~
As soon as Taker is done signing autographs for the fans outside the hotel, he goes up to his room, putting his bags on the floor. He stretched and dropped into the cozy bed, very tired, having still not slept well the night before. He frowned when he heard noises in the next room, wanting to get some sleep, he knocked loudly three times to make less noise but it continued, he reluctantly got up from his bed, very annoyed that we do not obey him. He leaves his room to knock on the next door, wanting to punch the guy so that the noisemaker understands to make less noise.
Lini slowly opens the door, her face red with tears, rubbing her eyes to wipe away her tears. Taker lowers his fist which was ready to strike upon realizing that it wasn't a man who was nearby but it was the Rookie's room. "Are you okay ?" He asked realizing that she is not well seen that her face was wet with tears.
"I'm doing well." She says before closing the door in Taker's face but he puts his foot to block the door, preventing it from closing, doesn't appreciate being slammed in his face and even less being lied to in the face. Lini wraps her arms around her, back to him, not wanting him to show her tears.
"I repeat my question: are you okay?" Said Taker frowning, arms crossed as he leaned against the door. "It's none of your business..." She said. still back to him but Taker advanced towards her, facing her. She refuses to look at him but he takes her face in his hand for her to look at him, her beautiful eyes staring into his cold green eyes.
"It's been my business since you joined my ministry." He said looking into her eyes, he could see sadness and fear in her eyes but her fear is not due to his presence, there is something that scares her.
"Please....I don't want to talk about it and even less with you..." She said, pushing him slightly and passing next to him, lowering her head, leaving her room, wanting to take the air and not talking to anyone. She walks through the hotel, head down, tears flowing, she heads for the underground car park where she parked her car. She gets into her car, locks the doors so as not to be disturbed and begins to cry all the tears in her body.
