Punk woke up slowly. His head was all fuzzy. He tried to reach up to rub his eyes but he could not move his arms. He tried to remember what had happened. He had gone off in search of a Pepsi and ran into Slash. Something had been pressed into his face and that was the last thing he remembered.

"He's awake," a voice called from somewhere above him.

"Good," another voice answered.

"Mitchell," Punk tried to say but his mouth felt like it was full of cotton. His mouth was so dry. He tried to sit but got dizzy.

"I wouldn't move if I were you," Mitchell said squatting down in front of him so that Punk could see him. "That ether is still in your system."

"What…" he wished his mouth wasn't so dry.

"What do we want?" Mitchell asked with a laugh. "Revenge on Raven."

Punk tried to sit up but got dizzy again. There was no way he was going to get his hands on Mitchell.

"Hey. Raven and Julio were out in the hall looking for Punk," Douglas said coming back into the room.

"They didn't see you come in did they," Mitchell asked as he stood up.

"Nope. They went down a different hall but we gotta get going before they decide to look in every room."

Mitchell looked at his watch. The PPV had been going for an hour now. "Slash and Sinn pick him up," he said, "we are headed out to the ring."

Punk was pulled roughly to his feet. He tried to fight back but a swift right fist to the side of his head and he was out again.

Raven and Julio stood talking to the head of the black shirt security, Don Harris. They had searched all over the Asylum but could not find him.

Vaughn came running up to them. "I found Punk," he said as he tried to catch his breath.

"Where is he?" Raven demanded.

"New Church was dragging him down the hall towards the ring," he answered. "They took out Santel when we tried to stop them. I barely got away."

Raven and Julio took off towards the ring. When they got to the entrance to ringside, there was no one there or in the ring.

"Where are they?" Julio asked worriedly looking around. "I thought Vaughn said they were headed for the ring."

Raven was tiring of these games so he headed out to the ring not waiting for his music. Julio followed right behind him. Raven grabbed a mic from ringside before stepping into the ring.

"Father Mitchell I know you are listening," Raven said turning to face the entrance. "I know you have Punk. I want you to come out right now."

They stood waiting but no one came out.

"Now what, boss," Julio said after they waited a couple of minutes.

Erik Watts made his way to ringside with a very concerned look on his face. He climbed up onto the ring apron but didn't enter the ring. Raven walked over to him. "We found the New Church. Punk's hurt."

Notes: I know mean way to end it but next chapter we'll see what happened while Raven and Julio were on a wild goose chase.
