"Hey Chris, how are you?" He glanced up to see Kurt standing there. Now, since they had become teammates for the WWF, they really did end up getting along. The guy was a prick, but he was a surprisingly agile one. He was a good addition to their team, but he would never admit that.
"Hey." he said simply before going back to tying his wrestling boots.
"Vince is getting angrier these days. This invasion thing has become a stalemate." he shook his head.
"What would you like me to do?" he questioned, raising a brow.
"Vince wants to see you." he shrugged toward Chris. "He's in the office. Told me to get you and bring you over as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"I don't know." he replied. "Come on, though, I don't feel like being yelled at for the tenth time today."
"Fine, I'm coming."
Three months had past, and he was still being bossed around. During the three long months, he had been trying his very best to win every match against the other side. He did manage a few good wins, and lost a few good ones too. It was getting tiring though.
"I'll get down to business." He had been hustled into the room in seconds. Kurt scurried out the minute Jericho had stepped in. He looked over the worn face of his boss. "You have a new assignment."
"I'm listening." he replied, watching him look him over.
"You're going to kidnap Stephanie." That was the moment Chris realized that Vince had finally gone nuts.
"Kidnap her?" he asked. "Are you insane?"
"We need to start sinking to their level. Listen, I know you're the only one who can do this. You hate her, just let that out while you're after her and it'll be easy."
"What would I have to do if I did get her?" he questioned.
"That's the part that might upset you. She'll have to stay just with you until we get them to basically beg for her return. Without her, they can't get her money, after all."
"I don't know.." he replied uneasily. 'I almost killed her after 1 morning. Could I do it for a few wweks?'
"The WWF is counting on you. This might be our last chance." He was stunned at the words, but he already knew that was coming.
"..Fine." he sighed quietly. "I'll do it."
"Excellent." he smiled broadly at Chris. 'I'm so dead. I'm so, so dead.'

Contrary to the belief Vince had, he wasn't exactly the best at this kidnapping stuff. He now was behind a car, watching her for some reason hurring out of to the parking lot. He was about to spring to action when he noted Heyman was following her out.
"Leave me alone you psycho!" she cried angrily to him. He had easily caught up with her. Jericho inched a little farther out to see what was happening.
"Stephy baby, I'm sorry." he apologized. 'Don't buy it, Princess, he don't mean a word of it.'
"I can't believe I listened to you from the beginning! People were right, you are a sick bastard!" Jericho couldn't help but grin. It seemed Stephanie now had gotten her right mind back. His eyes widened quickly when he noted he had grabbed her roughly. 'Oh shit.'
"Well Steph, I tried to do it nicely.." she watched as she fell to the ground. 'He's going to really hurt her.'
"Paul!" she cried out, glaring up at him.
"You either help me or I break your neck." It was at that moment Jericho stood up.
"Hey!" Both of them turned their attention to him. He walked into the light of the lamp that was placed in the parking lot. Heyman looked pleased, Stephanie looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Ahh, Mr. Jericho..want to finish her off for me? Go right ahead." He glanced at the two. Stephanie looked like she was waiting for a big blow to come her way. Heyman backed away and Chris walked towards her. "Go on." Heyman urged him on.
"Leave her alone." He turned so he was now standing between her and Heyman. Both Heyman and Stephanie looked at him, startled.
"What?" Heyman asked, wondering if he heard him right.
"If you want her..you go through me first. Hey Paul,I can even put your ass in the Walls." he grinned evilly toward him.
"You're completely insane. All right, fine, I'll leave her alone. Don't think this is over though." He had backed off quickly. Very quickly. In seconds he was out of sight.
Chris turned towards Stephanie, who was still in the sitting position, looking at him like he had two heads. 'Now, how do I kidnap someone who knows I'm here? This is certainly an unexpected curve.'
"You just saved me." she said, sounding like she didn't believe it herself.
"Basically." he shrugged. "You all right?"
"No." she replied honestly. 'Oh god, here comes the waterworks.'
"Come on, let's get you off the ground, huh?" he offered a hand. "I didn't even spit in it or anything." She looked at the hand through tear-filled eyes, and took it. He pulled her up.
She stumbled a bit, then gained her balance. She wiped the tears from her eyes, which didn't do much. "He..he was about to really hurt me..the little fucker, why the hell did I trust him..?!"
"Calm down." Chris had no idea what to do. He wasn't really used to comforting people.
"He could have..killed me.." she looked considerably pale. "I didn't know it was going this far.."
'What do I do? Kidnap her? Wait, not, that'll be wrong. She looked like she's about to have a nervous breakdown. If I just took her, she might go into those scary states of shock and her hair might turn white.' He felt totally at a loss of what to do, and that was when she moved in and just hugged him. Blinking in shock at first, he slowly let his arms drape around her in a slight, awkward hug as she cried into his shirt.
'Why did I agree to this stupid plan? Why?'
"Hey." he said simply before going back to tying his wrestling boots.
"Vince is getting angrier these days. This invasion thing has become a stalemate." he shook his head.
"What would you like me to do?" he questioned, raising a brow.
"Vince wants to see you." he shrugged toward Chris. "He's in the office. Told me to get you and bring you over as soon as possible."
