Chris slowly blinked his eyes scrunching under the bright glare of the light. He opened them slowly and looked around surprised to find himself in a room. He groaned and grabbed his head a sudden headache pounding in his head, he sat up and looked around surprised to find Alex asleep next to the bed. He smiled and ran a hand through his friend's hair, startling the other man awake. "Chris?" Alex mumured looking up at him with sleep filled eyes. Chris smiled down at the younger man, " Dude what the fuck happened?" Alex sighed and sat straight up, " They found out somehow...they came to the house and there was arguing...and blood lots of it. We didnt know what to do so we escaped as quick as we could...some people didnt make it...I'm sorry we left you." Chris shook his head, " Its fine I got here didnt I?" Alex nodded his head, " Yeah but we still left you." Chris smiled and grabbed his friend's hand, " I'm fine...I was just tired." Alex sighed, " Come on we got a meeting to go to." Chris cocked an eyebrow and climbed out of the bed, " How do you know?" Alex cast his friend a small glance, " Because Bret said once you wake up we need to talk..."

Jack had fallen asleep some time ago, his body to exhausted to keep him awake. Christian sighed and got up from the bed and turned to Evan, " So where is this trap door?" Evan got up from where he was sitting and crossed the room and pushed the small dresser across the floor as it slid over the trap door in the floor started to open and Evan pointed down at it, " There's a handle on the inside when we slide the door shut it'll put the dresser back in place and no one will ever know it's there. Christian nodded his head, " How big is it?" Evan shrugged his shoulders, " Big enough to fit us all and then some...That's what Randy told me anyways." Christian nodded his head and turned his attention to Zack who was slowly starting to fall asleep but jolting himself awake at every turn. Christian walked over to the younger man and laid a hand on his shoulder, " Just go to sleep they'll be back soon enough." Zack shook his head, " I promised Id stay up." Christian smiled at him and went to respond when a crash sounded from downstairs. Christian slapped a hand over Zack's mouth preventing the scream that he knew was going to come from his mouth. He turned to Evan and whispered, " Did you hear that?" Evan nodded his head and looked over to Cena who was getting out of his chair, " We should be careful...just listen and make sure its not the others." They all nodded their heads in agreeement and listened as the footsteps came up the stiars.

Alex shook his head softly, " How do we know they wont strike here next? They know where we are Bret." Bret sighed, " We dont know that!" Alex shook his head, " Well I don't feel comfortable here." Jeff chewed on his bottom lip as he watched the pair argue before speaking up, " We cant just leave...we have injured people here." Alex sighed and looked towards his longtime friend and gave him a small smile, " I know its just that..." He turned to Chris to help him find the words and was surprised to find that his best friend knew exactly what he meant. " What Alex means is he doesn't feel its safe to keep us here...If Mark knows Bret as well as we think he does then he knows hes got some secret place and hell do everything in his power to find it." Bret sighed and looked to his few remaining men, taking in all their faces. In the small fight with Mark and his men he had lost Kazarian, Matt Morgan and Chris Daniels. He had gained Matt Hardy though, who had qucikly jumped to his younger brother's defense and had paid dearly for it. The boy was still unconscious and Bret was beginning to think he wasnt going to wake up.

They all tensed as the footsteps approached the door and the knob began to twist, it stopped twisitng when the person on the other side realized that it was locked and everyone let out a sigh of relief. A slight rapping of knuckles were then heard and Evan paled, they were all going to die he knew it. He looked over at Christian who slowly removed his hand from Zack's mouth and took a silver knife off the dresser. He slowly approached the door and slid it under the small crack and turned it so he could see who was out in the hallway without alerting them. He let out a heavy sigh when he realized that it was not Mark but Nexus, a rogue group he had often heard about. He knew they had ties to Bret and prayed that they came in peace. He had forgotten for a moment that he had the knife out the door and when he went to pull it back a foot stopped it. His heart began to hammer in his chest and looked to the others for soem sort of help but when a soft voice filled his ears he calmed down, " Oi Adam's boy! We aint ere to hurt ya." He sighed and sat back releasing his hold on the knife, " How do I know that?" The man on the other side of the door rolled his eyes, " Because we were sent by Orton." Evan looked at the door and back at Christian before he spoke, " How do we know you're not lying? How do we know you're not working with Mark and this is all some set up to get inside here?" The man again rolled his eyes, " Because Im not stupid. I know what Mark as done. I was with Bret when he ambused them...My men and I barely escaped." Evan looked to Christian and then both men looked to Cena who was standing with his arms across his chest, " Well unless Orton gave you the key you can't get in and we can't get out." The man rolled his eyes once more, " We don't want to get in we were sent to watch you guys and make sure Mark didnt come here." Evan looked to the other men and sighed, " Alright...now tell us what happened to the Harts."

Randy shook his head as he searched through the papers on Bret's desk, finding nothing that would lead him to the Harts whereabouts. He was beginning to get frustrated they had been here for hours and nothing had turned up at all. Halfway through their search Nexus had shown up and after some much needed persuasion he had sent them to watch over the others they had left behind. He sighed and picked up another piece of paper his eyes scanned it carefully and widened in surprise when he realized it was a deed to a house. He knew the house, it was an old run down bed and breakfast that had gone out of business when he was a boy. He scanned his memory trying to see if he could remember where it was and smiled in success when the street name appeared in his head. He was about to call to his men when a shout captured his attention. He ran from the room and followed the sound of the voice he heard until he was in the fron room. They were all standing around staring down into what appeared to be a trap door. " This is...odd." John commented. Randy smiled, " I bet that tunnel leads to where they are now." They all turned to him before Adam spoke, " And how do you know where they are?" Randy's smile widned and he held up the piece of paper and waved it at them, " Its a deed. To the old abandoned bed and breakfast over near the boardwalk." Rey cocked an eyebrow, " But that's way on the other side of the city." Randy sighed, " I know but its the only lead we've got." The others nodded their heads in agreement before Drew spoke up, " Wait...Where was that paper?" Randy cocked an eyebrow, " Just sitting out on the desk with all the other messed up papers...like someone had been looking for something." They all swore as the realization hit them, they needed to get to the Harts and fast because if they were all thinking the same thing Mark knew where they were and that wouldn't be good for them.

Jeff sighed slightly and looked over his brother, who had yet to wake up. He knew it had only been a few hours but he was getting worried with each passing moment that his brother didnt open his eyes. He was so lost in his own world that he didnt even hear the sounds coming from downstairs, nor did he hear the door open. He jumped in surprise when a hand closed over his mouth and he began to struggle but his vision was getting clouded and that's when he realized he was being drugged. He struggled for as long as he coudld flailing his arms and legs desperately trying to get away from whoever was trying to take him away. Eventually the drug got to him and his limp body slumped to the floor, the older man glared down at him and gave him a swift kick to the ribs, " Little fucker." he mumbled. He searched around the room and his eyes landed on the unconscious body of the other Hardy. A sadistic grin spread its way across his face and he approached the body. He pulled back his fist and slammed it several times over into the heavily bandaged head before he left the room locking the door behind him. Alex slowed down his breathing hoping that they wouldnt find him in the small closet he had manged to drag his unconscious and bleeding friend into. He looked down at the man in his arms and tears welled up in his eyes. It had all happened so fast. He had done exactly what Chris had told him to do and hid until he was sure they were gone. When he had been positive the coast was clear he had opened the door and dragged Chris body with him. He shook his head and let the tears fall onto his friend's face, he had no idea where the others were if they were even alive still. He had watched as they killed A.J. right in front of him, knowing there was nothing he could do to save his friend. He heard them all laughing and he closed his eyes and prayed that no one would find him. The door slammed and he let out a sigh of relief he slowly opened the door and peered around surprised to smell something burning...his eyes searched until they landed on the front of the room. Those fuckers were throwing molotovs into the house. He grabbed Chris from his position on the floor and dragged him through the house hoping to get out the back door. He stumbled around coughing every once in awhile as the flames and smoke got higher and thicker. He gently dragged Chris out into the yard behind the house and ran back inside hoping that the other were still in there and alive.

Evan's eyes snapped open at the sound of gun fire and he franticly searched around the room looking for Christian. The man had jumped up and was already across the room pushing the dresser so that they would have access to the trap door. Evan tugged Zack to his feet, who had resorted to curling up in a ball and covering his ears. Christian shoved the two younger men into the hole in the floor, " Go and hide it seems to be a tunnel." Evan looked at him eyes wide with fear, " What about you and Cena?" Christian averted his gaze, " We're gonna stay here, take Jack with you we don't want him here." Evan nodded his head and helped to lower the larger man into the hole. He took once last glance at the two older men, " Please come with us...I dont want anything to happen to you." Christian shook his head, " Ev we cant...we made a promise to protect you no matter what. You remember that day?" Evan nodded his head and wiped at the tears that were beginning to form, " So protect me by coming with me. Please Im begging you." Cena shook his head, " Alright alright get in Christian." Evan let out a sigh of relief as the two men dropped into the space in the floor one right after the other and slowly slid it shut. " You know its very dark in here." Jack spoke. The tunnel was suddenly filled with a light as Zack struck a match. " Well I found a match." The others laughed and then sat in silence as crashes and gun fire could be heard throughout the whole house.

Alex was starting to panick he couldn't find Jeff, Matt, Shannon or Jon. He ran around the house franticly as it went up in flames trying to find his friends. Then he remembered that Jeff had been upstairs with Matt he bolted up the stairs and went sprinting down the hallway surprised to find Shannon banging on the door. Alex shook his head and moved Shannon out of the way, he took a couple steps back and ran forward driving his foot into the wooden door, surprised when it gave way and crashed to the ground. The pair searched the room and found Jeff on the floor. Shannon ran over to him and shook him, fear flashing across his face when he didnt wake up. Alex dropped to his knees next to him and pressed two fingers to his neck and let out a breath of relief when he felt his pulse. " He's alive get him out of here and find Jon." Shannon nodded his head and scooped his friend up before running from the room. Alex walked over to the bed where Matt was laying and pressed to fingers to his neck, his heart sinking when he didnt feel a pulse at all. He grabbed his wrist this time and felt for a pulse but still nothing. He took a deep breath and pressed his ear to Matt's chest, his heart sank even further when he heard nothing. A loud crash signaled to him that it was time to leave the room and he ran to the door and took on last glance at his friend before dashing from the room. He ran to the stairs and took a step down only to find that the stairs gave way under his weight and sent him flying down. He grabbed onto the ledge thankful that it was there and tried to pull himself up. The fire was getting hotter if possible and the smoke was choking him now. He was positive if he didnt get himself out soon he would die here, he struggled to get himself back up onto the floor above him and began to swing his legs hoping to give himself some leverage. As he was swinging a window near him blew out sending glass towards his face and he let go to cover his face...big mistake. He began to slip and a thousand thoughts were running through his head, he was going to die here he knew it. Just as he was falling a hand grabbed his and pulled him up to safety. He looked over at the man who had helped him and a wave of relief washed over him.

"What's gonna happen now?" Evan asked as they sat there. Christian shrugged his shoulders, " We sit here and hope that they dont find us. When we're positive the coast is clear we can leave. I dont want to risk getting caught leaving the house while they're still here." Evan nodded his head and looked towards Jack who had his eyes closed, face scrunched up in pain, Evan reached his hand out and grabbed ahold of Jack's own and gave it a comforting squeeze. " We need to get to a doctor...or someone that knows what they're doing. He's in pain and that's a bad sign." Christian sighed, " I know but we cant leave just yet. I can still hear them out there and Im not risking your lives anytime soon." Evan sighed and looked over at Zack who was tracing patterns into the dirt, " Does this mean that the others have been ambushed too?" Cena gave the boy a sideways glance and sighed, " Im not gonna lie to you. Im not sure, there's a large possibility it has happened but im not sure." Christian sighed, closed his eyes and concentrated hoping that he could reach Adam somehow but all he got was nothing. " I cant get anything...or feel anything for that matter. Its just like static on a radio." He sighed and looked around at his friends, " Hes blocking me so I cant read his emotions. All I know is that something serious must be happening...that's the only time he does it. But I dont feel any pain if Adam was in pain id feel it." Evan sighed and nodded his head before resting it back against the dirt wall, " I guess this means we're just gonna have to wait huh?" Cena nodded his head, " Wait and hope for the best."
