Chris made his way up the long walkway. He stared up at the giant white house in front of
him. The cars were backed up for miles. He had to give it to Hunter, he sure knew how to
throw a party. He was "The Game" after all.

He rang the doorbell. And waited a few moments before deciding on just opening the door
and walking in. He looked around the huge living room at all the WWF Superstars that
were dancing and drinking. He noticed Steve and Debra talking in the corner. He walked
over to them and shook hands with Steve.

"How ya doin' Chris?"

"Been better. Have you seen Hunter?"

"I think I saw him head for the kitchen." Debra chimed in sweetly.

"Thanks."

Chris made his way through the huge crowd until finally stumbling into the kitchen. He
saw Hunter on the phone and walked over to him. Hunter smiled and nodded in Chris's
direction. Then he continued his important phone call.

"That's right......I'm not kidding......I want 30 large pepperoni pizza's......dude, I'm not
kidding....."

Chris couldn't help but chuckle. If he was working at a pizza place he probably wouldn't
believe him either. But his smile soon faded. And Hunter managed to catch the hint. He
waited until he was sure they were actually going to deliver him pizza and then he hung up
the phone.

"So what's up? Thought you said you weren't coming tonight."

"I wasn't going to, but then something came up."

Hunter walked over to were Chris was leaning against the counter. Hunter pulled up a
stool and faced him.

"You got my attention."

"It's a hunch about Katherine."

Hunter grew quiet. Six months earlier at a party that Steve had been throwing, Hunter had
gotten a little to tipsy and confessed to Chris that he had the hots for Katherine. Chris
promised to keep it a secret because of Billy. Hunter had fallen for Katherine back when
she first started working in the WWF. But there time of getting to know each other had
been cut short by his injury. Or at least so he thought. She had visited him numerous times
over those months. They had become very great friends, and his harmless attraction had
lead into a full blown crush. He told Chris that she had been there for him more then
Stephanie. The only thing that didn't quite fit into Katherine's life was Billy. He didn't
understand why she had to keep her visits with Hunter a secret when they weren't even
doing anything but working out together and talking.

"What kind of hunch?"

"I think Billy's been beating her."

"Did she tell you that?"

"If she had actually told me, do you think I would call it a hunch?"

Hunter narrowed his eyes at Chris.

"This ain't something to joke around about man."

"Yeah, no kidding, why do you think I'm here."

"What makes you think he's hitting her?"

"She's been having allot of bruises on her. She kept telling me she'd gotten them from
matches. But this morning when I saw her at the office, I noticed she had a giant one on
her back, and she hasn't had a match in over two weeks."

"Do you think we should call the cops?"

"Maybe we should try to get her to tell the truth first."

Hunter sat thinking to himself for a minute before walking to the wall and taking his car
keys off a little hook. He then reached in his pockets and took out allot of cash and tossed
it at Chris.

"What's this for?"

"Pay for the pizza's when they get here."

"Where do you think your going?"

"To Katherine's apartment."

"And what are you going to do when you get there? Say, 'Hey Katherine, is Billy beating
you?'"

"I'll think of something, don't let anyone wreck my house."

Chris gave Hunter a mock salute and sighed when he disappeared from the room.

"Good luck."
