Chapter 4- Watched- Kane

It's been an uncomforting silence since Steph and Snitsky went undercover. I hope they learn what is going on soon enough. Gene's mortal form is not going to last much longer, there's only a week left in it's use. Stephanie… man if anything happens to her McMahon will have all our asses. Endangered or not! We haven't heard a word from either one of them, perhaps it was for the best… or maybe they have been discovered.

Taker has been talking to Edge a lot as of late, prepping ideas and battle tactics if necessary, I couldn't shake the feeling we were being watched somehow. My concern prompted an immediate band on powers. No one has changed into their true forms for the past week; Sage and Kratos have been kept out of sight to be on the safe side. I have kept my mask near by incase I had to go into hiding quickly, something in my bones kept telling me to keep it close… and I have.

We had spent days trying to ponder our next move, Hunter has tried to call Stephanie with no avail. Taker was more nervous than anyone as of late; he looks out for us in the locker room. He just felt helpless for the first time in perhaps a long while. "How much longer do we have to wait?" he asked aloud.

Hunter said nothing as did I. "This is ridiculous, they should have found something by now!" Matt whispered under his breath. The notorious vampire whisper, so quite that it can only be heard by immortals or creatures with impeccable hearing… like me. "Why haven't they sent word?"

"Patience… all of you" I pleaded. "We cannot risk uttering a name"

We fell into silence once more that was until Vince stormed into the locker room. "Where the hell are they! Where the hell is Stephanie and Snitsky!" he bellowed. Oh dear God he just figured out she was gone! Taker rushed to McMahon and clasped his hand over his mouth.

"Shut up!" he growled to Vince. But it was too late, all around I could hear stealth foot steps… approaching fast, the Hardys did too as did Taker.

"What's going on?" Hunter asked.

Taker released Vince from his grasp before the room went dark. The power was cut. Reaching for my mask, I was just able to put it on… before I was hit from behind hard! I could hear the Hardys and Taker fighting hard for their lives, yet they too were sub come to the blows. Someone sprayed liquid silver into their eyes, blinding them and blocking all senses… We were now sitting ducks…
