Chapter 4
The Game
Part II Game Over
"Paul what happened to your eye?" Stephanie asked him again this time crossing her arms. Paul tried to avoid eye contact but knew he couldn't lie to his wife. "Well I got into a fight last night and I lost." Paul told her which wasn't the whole truth but it wasn't a lie either. Stephanie just looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of fight because I know you don't just get into fights without a good reason." She told him. Paul knew she could see right through him so he took in a deep breath and told her what happened at the bar. "So you found the guy that attacked you last week and Shawn this past Monday."She asked him. He nodded, "He said that someone hired him to attack me and Shawn to send a message to us. "Do you think Kevin is behind this?" she asked him. Paul nodded, "Look I wanted to tell you but I wanted to catch this jerk first." Paul told her. Steph nodded, "It's okay honey, just be careful please." She told him as she gave him a kiss on the lips. They finished packing and headed downstairs to the lobby. Paul saw that Jacob was there talking to Shawn and Randy. "Hey buddy I got some good news for you." He told him. "What is it?" Paul asked. "Well I found those other guys who jumped you that night on raw." Jacob told handing him an envelope. "Who are they?" Paul asked him. "The big guy that we met at the bar was Steve, the smaller guy his name is Thomas Carson also known as Little T, and the guy that was on the screen was a Michael Daniels." Jacob told him. Paul was stunned at all of this, "Thomas and Michael are also the same guys that attacked Shawn last night. "How did you finger this entire thing out?" Shawn asked. "I told you I work for the secret service I know everything about everybody." Jacob told them smiling. They all nodded as they left the hotel for what could be a dangerous show.
"Good evening ladies and gentleman we have a great show for you tonight!" King told the fans at home. "That's right King and we're kicking off the night with the game Triple H." J.R. told him. Paul walked down the ramp and stepped between the ropes. "I think triple h has some kind of announcement to make J.R." King told him as they listened to what the game had to say. "Hey guys I have fantastic news first it's great to be back after what happened two weeks ago. If you didn't see it then here's a replay of what happened." He told them as he showed the footage on the screen. The fans still couldn't believe what had happened to the game that night. "Now after seeing that footage I've been having nightmares ever since because of that night. But you know what they should have taken me out completely, because I'm still here and I know who they are now thanks to a good friend of mind. So tonight I return to the ring against…." He was interrupted by a strange fog. Then the entire arena went pitch black, "Not again!" Paul told himself. Suddenly a voice was heard over the arena, "Good evening Hunter it's time for round one of my little game and it's called What's your fear?" the voice told him. Paul was a little confused and so were the fans. "What did that voice mean by what is your fear?" King asked. "I have no idea but it can't be good." J.R. told him. Paul was starting to leave the ring thinking about the voice when he heard someone screaming. He looked up in the lights and saw John Cena. "Oh my god it's John!" King yelled. Paul couldn't believe his eyes John was hanging for his life. "Somebody help me please!" he yelled. Paul didn't know what to do so he started climbing on ladder that held the screen up. "Hold on John! Paul told him. John was in tears as he watched Paul trying to get to him. Paul was only a few feet away when a man came out of the dark and took John by his hand. He looked over at Paul and smiled, "Game Over!" he mumbled as he threw John off the rail onto the ground 5 feet below. The entire arena went dead silent as they watch John fall to his death and Paul saw the man disappear before he could get to him. Paul couldn't believe his eyes as he climbed back down to check on John.
He walked towards John's lifeless body and knew he was dead until he saw movement. "Oh my god he's still alive!" Paul mumbled as he waved for the paramedics to come out. "John stay with me buddy okay." Paul begged watching the medics help him onto the stretcher. John nodded smiled as the medics took him to the back. Paul got to the back when taker approached him, "What the hell happened out there?" he yelled pushing Paul up against the wall. "I didn't know that was going too happened." Paul told him pushing him off. "Somebody threw John of that rail before I got to him." Paul told him. "Did you see his face?" Mark asked. Paul nodded, "Yeah but it was dark where he was at so I don't know who he was but he did smile and say something to me." Paul told him. "What was that?" Mark asked him. "He said game over." Paul finished.
About an hour later Paul, Mark, Shawn, and Randy were at the hospital waiting on the results of John's condition. "Do you think he'll be okay?" Randy asked no one in particular. "Yeah buddy John is a tough guy, he'll be fine." Shawn told him giving the younger guy some kind of hope. Truth was no one knew if John was going to be okay better yet be able to do what he loved and that was wrestle for his fans. After waiting for several hours a doctor finally came out of the emergency room. "Is anyone here for a John Cena?" the doctor asked. They all stood up, "We are" Paul told him. The doctor nodded, "Well your friend is in critical condition, he suffered many broken ribs, a concussion, a broken neck and a severe head injury, he's unconscious right now and is hooked up to several machines that is helping him breath." He told them. "Will he be okay?" Shawn asked concerned. "I'm not sure the next few weeks will tell us and he will have to take physical therapy to get movement back in his legs and take about six to eight months off from the ring. Basically if he does everything he's told he'll be fine, he is very lucky to be alive, and most importantly he will need your support while he goes through this." He told them. They all nodded, "Can we see him?" Randy asked him. The doctor nodded as he showed them to John's room.
They all walked in and were in shock at what they saw; John was hooked up to so many machines it was like something out of a horror movie. Paul walked up to John's bed, "I will find the asshole that did this to you and when I do he will pay." He told him. All he got in response was the sound of the machine beside John's bed.
Somebody wanted John dead and was almost successful but will this be the end or is it just the beginning as the next round begins. Find out what happens in the next chapter as Paul finally comes face to face with the three men he put behind bars and their little friends that attacked Shawn and Paul one week apart.
