"Step on the gas Jeff!" Matt yelled jumping into the back of the big red suv with Lita in tow.
"Where we going man, and why do you still have that fucking girl!" Jeff replied seemingly angry
"I don't care where we go as long as it's no where near here!" Matt hollered back
"Okay..But why do you still have Lita? You almost got yourself killed over her!" Jeff shouted back at him
"Jeff.. I don't care if I almost got killed. The guy who almost killed me will probally die himself." Matt said proud of himself for doing what he did
"Matt. If they come after you again.. I'm sorry but your on your own!" Jeff replied
"You'd ditch your own brother? How fuckin heartless are you?" Matt shot back
"Me...the heartless one? I wasn't the guy who raped one girl, shot another girls boyfriend, then tried to rape that girl while making her boyfriend who was bleeding to death watch!" Jeff shot back clearly not impressed with his brothers actions
"If you didn't approve then why in the hell did you go along with it in the first place!" Matt shouted
"Man, I thought it would be one harmless night with your ex..not an all out war and you holding 5 girls hostage while me and the other guys and Joanie were forced to keep watch!" Jeff yelled back
"Fuck Jeff...Are you helping me out or not?" Matt asked sincerly
"Man.. I guess as long as you don't plan on dragging this out too long. You've got my help for the rest of this week at best! I'd much rather one more night and this be over with." Jeff replied
"Thanks bro, I honestly dont know how much longer this will be going on.. Maybe if I can just keep Lita around long enough she will realize she's in love with me as much as I am with her.. If not I guess we send her home, and I'll stay hidden until the heats taken off of me" Matt said now smirking
"Alright well now that, that part of the plan is figured out.. where are we headed?" Jeff questioned
"Give Joanie a call. None of the guys would ever think to check her house, especially since they automatically think that we would be much smarter then to go to someone who was directly involved." Matt said and with that Jeff stepped on the gas and headed towards Joanies house.

-In The Hosital-
The gang sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Paul needed surgery to remove the bullet from his shoulder. From the first quick look the doctor took, he said that there hadn't appeared to be any major damage, but they wouldn't be sure until the bullet was out. Paul also had lost a horrible amount of blood and would need a transfusion.
Shawn had already given the blood to make the transfussion. Stephanie was sitting in the corner still crying. Her shirt was soaked with blood from Pauls shoulder. She didn't care about that though. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to hear that Paul would be fine.
John was hoping Paul would be cleared soon enough so that he could go out and begin searching for Lita again. He only wished it was him who found Matt with the girls. John was sure that he would have just killed him with his bare hands. Actually John now knew that the first time he got his hands on Matt, that Matt might survive.. if he's lucky enough.
Just then a nurse entered the waiting room followed by a doctor interupting John's thoughts. Everyone fell silent as the doctor began to speak.
"I assume you are all awaiting the news on ?" The doctor asked
The gang all shook their heads in unison.
"Okay, well I have good news to report!" The doctor exclamied
Everyone felt a bit more at ease after just hearing that little bit of hopeful information about the whole situation.
"Well the bullet did hit a nerve. But with a little physical therapy will be able to have all shoulder movements without any pain. The blood transfusion took wonderfully, and is now stable."
"When can we see him?" Stephanie asked while whipping the tears from her eyes
"As soon as you like. Just keep the maximum number of visitors to two in the room at once. And he is probally still sleeping now, from the drugs from the surgery."
"Thank you so much!" Stephanie excalimed jumping up
"Steph, we'll leave you go in first to have your alone time with Paul first.. I'll come down in around 10 mins" Shawn said
"Thanks" Stephanie managed to get out a weak smile as she headed out of the waiting room towards Paul's hospital room
"If you guy's don't mind now that I know Paul's going to be alright, Would it be okay if I went out to look for Lita?" John asked sincerly
"I'll come with you!" Randy said knowing it isn't a good idea to leave John alone at a time like this
"Would it be okay if I came too?" Stacy asked
"No problems, thanks you guys!" John said before he headed to the door
!#$%^&*(
-Joanies-
Jeff got out of the car and knocked on Joanies door.
"Hey Jeff what are you doing here?" Joanie asked
"Matt wanted to come here.. to hide himself and Lita out for the night. Would that be alright?" Jeff asked
"As long as your absolutely sure noone will come here looking for either of them..the last thing I need is a shoot out happening in my house!" Joanie said
"Okay well, They can just hide out in your basement then. Thanks again Joanie. Maybe I can make it up too you tonight?" Jeff asked suggestivly raising his eyebrows
"Mmm, I like the sounds of that" Joanie said with a wink "Now go get your brother and his hoe in here before someone notices that it's his car!"
"Will do" Jeff said with a smile and headed back to the car to tell Matt the good news
!#$%^&*
-Paul's hospital room-
Stephanie walked into the hospital room, not really knowing what to expect. She figured Paul may very well be hooked up to all kinds of machines. When she walked into the room she was quite suprised, and pleased to notice that the only machine he was hooked onto was an I.V. machine.
Stephanie just walked over to the chair next to Paul's bed and grabbed his hand. She decided now would be a good time to thank god for answering her prayers. For leaving Paul with her.
Stephanie began to lowly whisper "God, I just really want to thank you for not taking Paul from me well before his time. I mean, I honestly don't know what I would do without him here with me anymore. I have honestly never even come close to feeling the way I feel about Paul with any other guy." Stephanie finished up her prayer and unknown to her, Paul heard everyword.
Paul decided to roll over and let Stephanie know exactly how he felt about her.
Stephanie noticed Paul begining to move around now "Paul, you awake?"
"Yeah baby, I'm awake" Paul said now smiling "I just want to say. I heard everyword of what you said since you came into the room.. and" Paul stopped his sentence to notice how much Stephanie was blushing "Hey, baby don't be embarrased. I feel the exact same way about you. I mean.. it's something I have never experienced before"
Paul's comment caused Stephanie to blush even more
"You do realize how cute you are when you blush right?" Paul said with a smirk "Now come here!" Paul said streching his arms out to her.
Stephanie leaned in expecting a hug and was quite suprised when she was lifted right up onto the hospital bed with Paul. "Hey! I don't think you should be using your arm quite so much.. I mean you just had stiches!" Stephanie scolded him
"Oh, I'm sorry baby, I've been naughty, care to spank me sometime?" Paul said while raising his eyebrows, and smirking
"Your in a hospital and you can't stop having dirty thoughts.. I mean christ you were just shot and you still can't stop having them!" Stephanie said
"I'm sorry Steph..your just so damn irrestable!" Paul said smirking again
"Oh you" Stephanie's sentence was cut off by a soft kiss from Paul as he snuggled up next to her
!#$%^&*
-In John's Car-
"Randy, where do you think we should check first?" John asked
"Well, who was with Matt?" Randy asked Stacy
"Jeff,Adam,Dave and Joanie." Stacy said flatly, not wanting to remember the horrific events
"Okay so I guess we should check each of their houses.. but we should try and hit the most likely first. If we go to one house and they answer, but theres no sign of Matt or Lita..then they have the opportunity to call ahead to the others and fill them in that were out and looking." Randy replied
"Well knowing Matt.. he wouldn't go to his own house with Jeff. So we either have to start with Adams,Daves or Joanies" John replied
"I say we start with Adam. If noone's there, we can always beat him up quite easily and then get to Daves or Joanies house, before he gets to a phone" Randy said
"Well let's get going then..Adam's house first. When we get there, Stacy I want you staying in the car more girl's getting taken away!" John replied and then hit the gas pedal
!#$%^&*
-Joanies-
"Matt your lucky my parents aren't home this week!" Joanie said as Matt walked through the door carrying Lita.
Lita was fighting to try and get away from Matt. It was really no use. But Lita tried with all of her strength anyways.
"Thanks again Joanie! I owe you!" Matt said as he was still carrying Lita through the kitchen on the way to the basement staircase.
"Actually your brother and I have worked out a payment between us. You owe me nothing" Joanie replied. "Theres a bed, mini bar, and bathroom in the basement. Anything else you need, just ask for"
"Thanks again Joanie! Oh, but I will need some rope to make sure, my little bitch doesn't get away from me" Matt replied
"No problem," Joanie said while tossing some rope at Matt
"This will be one good night, thats for sure!" Matt replied as he quickly ran down the stairs with Lita.
He tried to place her into the chair and tie her up. Lita refused by kicking and thrasing around.
"Ohh your fiesty are you... looks like you want to have another go on the bed then I guess" Matt said, knowing he would have his way with her now..and many more times that night.
!#$%^&*
-Paul's hospital room-
Paul and Stephanie were still snuggled up,but now in a semi-make out session when Shawn,Michelle,Chris and Trish all walked through the door.
"Look at the ladys man!" Chris said raising his eyebrows
"Ohh buddy, five hours after being shot and you already got your girl back in bed with you!" Shawn said also raising his eyebrows
The guys comment made Stephanie blush,which made Paul whisper in her ear "Your still cute when you blush you know" Then Paul looked at her and winked causing Stephanie to blush more
"Aweee, you's look so happy.. especially considering the fact that your in a hospital!" Michelle said
"I agree!" Trish said
"Yeah you guys are like soooooooo tottally the cutest couple ever!" Shawn said in his best Trish impression and playfully batted his eyelashes
Paul and Stephanie just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Paul knew he would get his revenge on Shawn.
"So how you feelin bro?" Shawn asked changing the topic
"Pretty good actually, I mean a little sore in the shoulder, but thats all" Paul replied
"Thats really friggen good then man! I mean it could have been so much worse." Chris said
"I'm counting my lucky stars on this one for sure!" Paul replied
"So,when can you get out?" Trish asked
"Well actually, the doctor said if everything goes well and I have a place to stay with people
who can take care of me the weekend, that I could get out this evening!"
"Thats awesome!" Trish shouted
"Bro, look no further, you can stay at my house for the rest of the weekend, actually I now have the house to myself until Wednesday morning. Your welcome to stay until then!" Shawn stated
"Thanks man, But I mean someone has to help Cena look for Lita" Paul repiled
"Randy and Stacy are looking for him now. And while I'm out helping look I'm sure Steph wouldn't mind spending a few hours alone with you, now would you Steph?" Shawn asked
"Nope, As long as you don't leave us alone too long now.. I don't want him to try and put the moves on me while he's still got those stiches" Stephanie replied
"See now this is working out a bit better already. Once Lita's safe and sound, maybe everything can go back to normal again!" Michelle joined in
"Were things ever really normal?" Trish asked jokingly
"You do have a point there Stratus!" Michelle said now giggiling
!#$%^
-In Johns Car-
"Alright here we are..Adam's house. We have just enough time left in today to get this one checked out before we have to call the search quits for tonight" Randy said
"But-" John was cut off by Randy
"No but's about it John. We can continue searching in the morning. With extra recruits to help us!" Randy replied
"I guess your right, I would be alot more use with a bit of sleep under my belt" John said flatly
"Come on guys, why can't I come in?" Stacy asked as John and Randy hopped out of the car and started towards Adams.
"We don't want you getting hurt!" Randy yelled back
Stacy hopped out of the car and followed them
"What are you doing?" John yelled at her
"I think I'd rather go into a house with the two of you, then stay out here in a car by myself!" Stacy implimented
"Good point I guess" Randy said
John knocked on the door for at least 10 mins. Straight. No answer. " I guess theres only one other thing to do" John stated and then proceded to bust into the house.
"Noone home?" Randy asked as they nervously scanned the empty living room and kitchen
"Doesn't look like it but I say we check the rest of the house just to be sure." John replied "Stacy, you can go with Randy to check the basement. I'll check upstairs"
"Good idea" Stacy said as the split up to go and search the rest of the house
"Noone down here!" Randy yelled on his way back upstairs
"Noone up here either!" John yelled on his way back downstairs
"Now, we should head back to Shawn's to crash there again tonight" Randy stated
"Yeah, we should get searching bright and early before Matt has a chance to make another move though!" John replied
"We will get up at 4 in the morning with you John!" Stacy replied as they piled back into the car and headed back to Shawns house
!#$%^&
-Hospital-
Stephanie left to get Paul some water when the doctor returned with more good news, He could infact go back to Shawns already. Shawn had taken the girls and Chris out to eat and said he'd be back around 8 to see if he was able to go back with him. It was 7:45 now, he should be back soon Paul thought, allowing himself to be happy to be able to get out of the hospital so soon.
"Hey Steph, bad news" Paul said
"What's wrong?" Stephanie asked general concern evident in her eyes
"Well you'll be getting to spend the next like 4-5 nights with me... at Shawns" Paul said now smirking realizing he had actually toyed with Stephanies emotions
"You asshole!" Stephanie yelled at Paul while gently smacking him on the arm "You made me think something was wrong!"
"I'm sorry baby, once I get you back to Shawn's I'll make it up too you" Paul said with a wink
"Hey now, none of that until your stiches are out!" Stephanie replied, realizing she would have some fun teasing Paul until Friday when his stiches came out.
"You expect me to go until Friday, while being with you so much with out getting ANY thing?" Paul said
"Yupp" Stephanie replied satisfied with her way of being able to toy with his emotions now as well
"That's torture Steph!" Paul replied giving her the puppy dog eyes
"Oh well" Stephanie replied with a smirk now plastered on her face
Just then Shawn and Chris walked in
"Hey guys, so are you's coming back to my place er what?" Shawn asked
"Yupp just let me get out of this stupid hospital gown, and grab my things and we can go!" Paul said
"Awesome!" Chris chimmed in
around 5 mins. later they were all off to Shawn's to have a good nights sleep.
Shawn and Michelle were way to tired to even think about doing anything tonight. They went right to bed, snuggled up and fell right asleep.
Randy and Trish were also licked from the days activites, but that didn't stop them from having a nice make out session before bedtime. Trish was going to take it a step further, but Randy fell asleep before she could make her move. So she settled for curling up next to Randy and falling asleep with him.
Chris and Stacy were neither too licked from the days activitys and were going to go all the way, but they just didn't feel right. Having pleasure, when one of their closest friends were shot and another being torn away from his girlfriend. They decided on just to have a quick make out session and hit the hay cuddled up together.
Paul and Stephanie were both too tired to even think straight. As soon as they reached Shawn's they ran downstairs to the bedroom and climbed into bed. Paul wrapped his arms as tight as he could around Stephanie, hoping that it would sooth himself enough to get some sleep. He knew Stephanie was just as rattled if not more by the horrible days events. He feel asleep holding Stephanie.
John was the only one of his friends still alone. Instead of taking a bed, he opted to sleep on the couch. No sense in having a bed all to yourself when your staying at a friends house he thought. John layed on the couch forever just hoping to get at least an hours sleep tonight. Although he didn't know if that would be possible at all considering all of the days events.
