Chapter Nine
Punk did his second promo then sat in the locker room with Kofi to watch the final promo of the night; Vince confronting Heyman about The Shield and Brad Maddox. He hated that he couldn't watch from Gorilla, but understood the reasoning.
"Paul, come on out here," Vince started. He waited until Heyman got into the ring. "So, I want to show you a couple of videos. Let's start with this one."
The video started playing on the Titantron; showing Heyman talking with Maddox, then The Shield coming in to 'take care' of Maddox. Vince looked over at Paul.
"That wasn't me. I do not look, or sound, like that man. I'm being set up."
"Set up? Okay. Now I want to bring someone else out here. Kyra, if you'll please."
Kyra stepped out from the back and into the ring next to Vince. As soon as she was standing still, a second video started to play.
"I am tired of Punk being so close to 'Kyra'. She is annoying and all over him constantly."
"What do you want us to do?" Seth asked Heyman.
"Take her. I want Punk to lose her."
"When?"
"The pay-per-view. When Punk's back is turned, grab her."
The video showed Paul, Seth, and Dean; leaving Roman with the phone camera on. Kyra glared at the manager across from her.
"Screw you, Heyman!" she yelled. Vince caught her before she could attack Heyman.
"Paul, I'm going to have to wish you luck with your future endeavors. You're …"
Music started to blare. Kyra slid out of the ring and stood next to Michael Cole at the desk. Brock Lesnar came out from the back. He walked down the ramp, and then around the ring. However, when he walked by Kyra, he grabbed her and rolled her into the ring.
Lesnar climbed into the ring and stood toe-to-toe with Vince.
"I got this handled," Heyman said loudly for the cameras.
But Lesnar didn't care. He looked to Kyra and pushed her to the mat hard. He then turned, picked Vince up, and gave him the F5. Brock's music blared again as he and Heyman left the ring.
"Punk, you can't go out there," Kofi said, trying to calm his friend.
"He hurt her, I'm going to kill him!" he yelled while opening the door.
The pair met everyone outside Gorilla where medics were working on Vince.
"Where's Kyra?" he called out.
"They're bringing her back here now," someone replied.
Punk's face paled at the thought of a serious injury. When more medics wheeled Kyra into the back, everyone knew that something was wrong.
"Kyra, can you hear me?" one medic asked. "I need you to open your eyes, Kyra." But when no response was made, the team wheeled her to the awaiting ambulance.
The large group in the back heard Cena out in the ring, singing 'Happy Birthday' to Sheamus.
"Dolph, go on out," a tech said.
Everyone returned to changing into their street clothes. Punk remained where he stood.
"Come on, man. We can meet her at the hospital," Kofi stated.
At the hospital, Kyra returned to a conscious state. Doctors swarmed around her, doing test after test after test to see if there was any damage to her skull and brain.
"You have a visitor," a nurse said with a smile.
"Hey, beautiful," Punk said as he walked into the room. "How do you feel?"
"Headache, but feeling better now," Kyra smiled, tiredly.
"Well, we're staying here until Thursday. I have plans for us."
"After I get some sleep," she yawned.
"I'll stay here with you," he whispered. "I'm not going anywhere."
Kyra fell asleep with Punk sitting beside her bed, holding her hand. Never had he imagined that he would fall for anyone as quickly as he had for Kyra.
