After talking to Flash's mother Vince and Shane went to the diner to meet her and see if she could offer any information that would be helpful, also after doing so Vince felt that notifying the police wouldn't go well for Mark or the child. For now he planned on giving them what they wanted and returning Mark home safely. Vince also had another phone call to make one he was dreading more than the first.
Sara had just dropped the boys off at school she hadn't herd from Mark all night which wasn't completely unusual sometimes he would be so tired he would fall asleep as soon as he got to the hotel. And God knows how often he forgot to charge his phone so it didn't worry her too much when she couldn't reach him on that, in fact she was a bit annoyed. Her cell phone rang and she looked at the caller ID, it was Mark's cell and she decided that she would give him a hard time out of pure fun.
" Nice to see you remembered my number, did you have a little too much fun last night " she said in an accusing tone.
Vince gulped " Sara this is Vince McMahon " he paused and Sara's heart skipped a few beats. " Sara there's a problem concerning Mark can you fly to California and I'll pick you up at the airport " he asked.
Sara didn't know what to say all she could do was mumble a yes.
Vince meant Sara at the airport, she had left the boys with Mark's mom but didn't tell her why she had to go. At this point Sara didn't even know why she had to go just that Mark was in some sort of trouble. Sara saw Vince and Shane as soon as she got into the terminal and they meant her halfway.
" Where's Mark, is he hurt, have you seen him " she threw questions at the two men left and right.
Vince took her hands and spoke calmly " Mark was taken from a diner at gun point as for his where abouts or condition we don't know " he said sadly.
" Taken " Sara mumbled, she though hurt or something like that but never taken. Hell Mark was almost seven feet tall and over 300 lbs, who just takes a man like that. Then real fear hit her there's noway Mark would have stayed willingly. She began to break down and cry at the knowledge that Mark was in REAL danger.
" Come on there's someone you need to talk to " Vince said and they took her to the diner.
The first thing Sara saw was Mark's bike parked in the lot, she knew there was no chance in hell he'd ever leave one of his prized machines in a vacant parking lot. Vince opened the door and escorted her inside.
A small woman who looked like she hadn't slept in days came over to her " You must be Mrs. Calaway , I'm Mandy Williams, Billy is my son " she introduced herself.
" Sara " she said " I'm sorry who is Billy " she asked.
Mandy sat down and did her best to explain everything she could to Sara, when she finished Sara understood why Mark had gone with them he would do anything for a child. A woman brought Sara a cup of coffee, she was the diner's owner and she felt just terrible that this had happened.
" Did Mark say anything to them " she asked Mandy.
Mandy shook her head " Just that the kid would give them trouble and to take him...Oh and something about knowing this area very well " she shrugged.
" Someone get me a map, I think I know where Mark would take them " she said as Shane grabbed one of the road maps from the rack and gave it to her Sara told them " Mark is very smart and he would want as much of an advantage as he could get " Sara looked at the map. "There's a road here that's missing off the map and at the end of it Mark and I have a cabin that nobody knows about. If I know Mark and I'm sure I do that's where he would have directed them to go "
" I think it's time we get some help then " Vince said and the others agreed.
" Mark had dozed off again and woke with a start not to mention he was sore from sitting on the floor for so long.
If Vince thinks I'm wrestling tonight he's out of his damn mind Mark thought as he did his best to stretch.
The door flew open and in walked Bobby all smiles " Let's go we have a job for the kid " he said nudging Flash with his foot.
This worried Mark he didn't want the boy going anywhere with these guys, Mark shook his head and gave a sneer.
" You're pathetic man, you're going to send a kid to do your dirty work...what a damn looser" Mark laughed. Little did he know that was the wrong thing to say to Bobby.
He stalked over to Mark and backhanded him hard in the face with his fist then grabbed him by the hair " DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME A LOOSER " he yelled in Mark's face. He was about to do more damage when Steve came in.
" Hey I checked out the basement, it's solid it'll hold him till we get back" he told Bobby.
" Get him up and let's go " he said grabbing Flash's arm.
" NO NO NO I WANT TO STAY WITH MARK" the boy cried, seeing Bobby hit Mark really scared him and he was worried about his new friend.
Mark spoke softly " It's alright kid remember our talk " he asked and Billy nodded. " Alright " Mark gave him a wink.
In ya go " Bobby laughed and tossed Mark still tied down the basement steps, he landed hard at the bottom after hitting nearly every step.
" MARK " Billy cried but Bobby shut the door.
" It's time to call Mr. McMahon back and tell him where to meet us " Bobby smiled.
" Yeah if you didn't break his damn neck " Meghan said crossing her arms.
Bobby backed her up to the wall and pointed the gun at her head " Since you're so worried about him then you stay here and watch him while we go get the money " he growled and then got a sadistic smile. " Oh and if you cross me bitch I'll hunt you down and gut you like a pig " he warned.
" alright bobby " she said hoping to calm him down.
" Play your cards right and you'll be one rich bitch " he laughed before letting her go.
Shane's cell rang and he answered it " Dad it's him " Shane said and Vince took the call.
" Nice to see your son gave me the right number, I want you to take the money and leave it out by the dumpster of the diner " he told Vince.
" I need more time to go get the money, the banks just opened up " Vince said trying to stall.
" I'll be nice you have one hour " bobby told him.
" Is Mark alright and the boy " Vince questioned.
" The boy is fine, Mark on the other hand took a little fall " Bobby laughed and hung up the phone.
Vince looked at Sara and Mandy " Are they okay " she asked.
" Billy's is fine " he choked.
Sara looked at Vince with worry and confusion " And Mark " she questioned but Vince didn't answer.
