Dean looked around wondering where Roman went. It seemed like one moment he was standing behind him and the next he was gone. He hobbled back to the locker room and found the Usos and Punk were talking to Dusty Rhodes.
"Roman disappeared." Dean said before sitting down on a bench.
"What do you mean disappeared," Jey demanded. He wasn't happy about this. He hated the disappearing thing that the Wyatts did.
One moment we were arguing about leaving and the next he was gone. I told you they were still here." Dean said massaging his casted ankle.
"I thought they were only interested in you and Seth," Jimmy said as he turned and faced him.
Dean didn't say anything. He grabbed the nearest cellphone and didn't look to see who's it was. He had left his cellphone in Chicago. He didn't trust that someone wouldn't grab his phone to get his new number. He sent a text to Seth that read:
Where's Roman
After a few minutes he received a text that said, Lose this number Jey
Dean frowned. That was odd. He didn't realize he had grabbed the cellphone and did that message mean Seth was brainwashed?
After a few moments he got another text.
Not unless you want Dean to disappear too. Make Dean run.
"Seth texted to get out of here." Dean said as he pulled himself back up with the crutches. He was tired of all of this. He just wanted everything to stop. He had thought going to Ring of Honor would end all of this but it probably would never end.
"I'll get security looking for him now," Dusty spoke up. "If the Wyatts are still in the building, we'll find him."
Jimmy looked at Jey before saying, "we'll go look too." He said before both twins left the room.
"This is crazy," Punk said when the locker room was empty. "This is not how I thought my return would go."
"This is not how I expected anything to go," Dean said as he looked at his cellphone. There were no new texts. He decided not to text Seth back. "I don't know why I'm here."
"Because you can't escape your past. Believe me I know how that is."
They sat in the room watching RAW on the monitor. Their brawl with the Wyatts and Evolution had taken place at the top of the second hour. They had been watching for about twenty minutes when the door opened and Roman was thrown into the room unconscious. Dean got up with the use of his crutches and went to check on Roman, while Punk ran out of the locker room. He came back pulling a struggling Seth back into the room.
"I can't be here," Seth said as he struggled to get out of the Chicagoan's grip. 'You don't understand I've got to get back to Bray. He'll come back. He'll get Dean. You gotta let me go!"
"No way," Punk said. He waited until Seth was turned away before hitting him in the back of the head. Seth fell to the ground next to Roman.
"Was that necessary?" Dean asked.
"We couldn't find Roman," Jimmy said as he and Jey returned. "We looked…" he stopped when he saw Seth and Roman laying on the floor. "What happened?"
"No time," Dean said. "Grab them we gotta get out of here." He said and hobbled to the entrance of the locker room. The coast was clear and they were able to get to the parking lot where their cars were parked. Punk got behind the wheel of Roman's rental while Dean got in the passenger seat. The Usos loaded Roman and Seth into the back of the car. They got out of there was quickly as they could with the Usos following close behind in their own rental car after Naomi joined them.
They decided to drive back to Chicago unsure of how Seth would react when he came to.
