Later that day Chris went in to check up on Stephanie, to find she was sleeping. He smiled to himself, and walked over to her, gently brushing the hair out of her face, and then watching her sleep. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there, when he heard a loud knock at the door. He got up slowly and opened it.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he said angrilly when he saw who it was.

"Nice to see you too Jericho,"Hunter said dryly," where's my wife?"

"She's sick, and she's asleep in her room, at least wait until she wakes up." Chris replied.

"Since when did you care if someone wakes her up while she's sick?" he questioned.

"Since she kept me up all last night and the night before. Once she gets better I gain sleep."

"Too bad, I came to see her, and I will see her," hunter said as he tossed a small bag onto the couch. "Do me a favour, show me where her room is."

"Yes master," Chris said sarcastically under his breath, "Fine," instead he settled with shoving the taller man out of his path, and walking down the hall. Hunter walked into the room, and Chris left to get some breakfast, but decided to make sure Hunter didn't hurt his wife any

Further instead. He crept down the hallway, and peeked around the doorway. He watched as

Hunter grabbed Stephanie and roughly dragged her to her feet, causing her to gasp in pain, and clutch at her ribs unconsciously.

"What the hell is this?" He yelled angrilly as he discovered the tape around his wife's ribs,

And Chris winced as the taller man practically tore the tape from around her waist, and kicked

Stephanie hard in the ribs. She curled up on her side and wrapped her arms around her knees,

In an attempt to ease the pain, but he dragged her up, and smacked her hard across the face with an object he tore from his belt. She fell backwards and slumped against the wall, unconscious, and blood dribbling from her mouth. Hunter threw the object across the floor almost to where Chris was standing, and he picked it up, running his hand over the knifestick.

He silently crept up behind his enemy and hit him hard across the back of the head, and didn't stop till he had knocked the man unconscious. He dragged him to his car and dumped him behind it, leaving the keys near him, before going inside to check on Stephanie.
