"Molly!" a voice called joyfully across the corridor

As Molly turned around, a person bounded towards her and grabbed her into a hug. She knew who it was immediately and hugged back. The person pulled away, an over excited smile on her face.

"It's so great to finally catch up with you," she said breathlessly

"You've been doing house shows for a while now Victoria" Molly laughed "surely you could have grabbed me a while ago"

"Whenever I've tried to find you, you've dashed off after your match, I could never find anyone who knew where you were" said Victoria

Molly couldn't keep a wide smile from her face; she knew where she'd been, with Hurricane or sometimes with Shannon. Victoria noticed her best friend's happy expression and nudged her in the ribs

"Tell me everything, there's something going on" she said, in a laughing tone

"Ok, got time for a coffee?"

"Sure thing"

They walked to the canteen together and having bought some coffee, sat down at a small table. Molly began stirred her milk into her coffee, unable to look Victoria in the eyes, she hadn't told anyone else about how she felt about Hurricane, she felt shy suddenly and very young, like a little girl telling her best friend about her crush. Victoria took hold of Molly's hand, not letting her stir anymore.

"Mol, c'mon on, it's me, I'm not going to laugh or tell anyone else if you don't want me to" she said softly

Molly nodded and put her hands together on the table. She took a deep breath and finally looked Victoria in the eyes

"I've found someone" she said "someone who makes me happy"

"It's not the same one who did before?" questioned Victoria "only when you were with him was when I saw you this happy"

"No, it's not Spike" Molly laughed a littler bitterly "he won't have anything to do with me now, it's someone else"

"Well gimme a clue" said Victoria, laughing

"He's someone I've been partnered with before, a real superhero," said Molly with a smile

"The Hurricane?" whispered Victoria in disbelief "he's cute that's for sure, and he feels the same way?"

"Yeah, I think so" replied Molly, thinking silently about what happened in the dressing room yesterday "it's been a few months now, and it's been great, being with someone who understands me so well, it's been a bit bumpy though, we've got through it"

"What happened?" asked Victoria, drawing closer

"See that girl sat just behind us, trying to listen to what we're saying?" Molly whispered

Victoria tossed her hair back, darting a quick glance about.

"Nidia?"

"Yep, well she'd been giving us a whole load of problems"

"Why am I not surprised? Down in the developmentals, she was always causing problems, she slept around like it was her hobby"

"She's been trying to drive me and Hurricane apart, telling him I was having an affair with his best friend Shannon and telling me that he still loved her, it was very rocky for a while but Shannon helped us out a little and now we're fine"

"Shannon? As in Shannon Moore?"

"Yeah, you meet him in the developmentals?"

"He was in my one for a real short time then moved to another one"

Molly checked her watch and sighed a little. She downed the rest of her coffee and stood up

"I'm gonna have to go, things to sort out"

"I'd better get going too I guess, wanna meet and work out before the show, in say an hour?"

"Sounds great, in the training room"

They split off into different directions after a last hug. Molly hummed softly under her breath, she really did feel happy, she had a great boyfriend and two great friends in Shannon and Victoria and the Women's belt was still her's. She didn't notice the shadow who crept after her at a distance. She reached a deserted corridor and was about to turn a corner when suddenly out of nowhere it seemed to her, a piece of thick cable was flung around her neck from behind. Hands pulled hard on it, choking her, she couldn't make a sound other than spluttering gasps, no one heard her. She could feel consciousness beginning to drift away, she fought to keep hold of it, she could hear someone talking but it all seemed blurred to her. She didn't know what was happening, everything seemed to slip away.

"Are you going to actually start warming up?" asked Shannon, getting up from the locker room floor

Hurricane, his face hidden behind a comic book didn't answer. Shannon reached over and snatched it away from his friend. Hurricane looked at him startled and annoyed.

"What's your problem?" he asked, reaching to take back the comic

Shannon kept it out of his reach and shook his head

"Time to warm up superhero, it's less than an hour until the house show starts"

"Fine, you're right, now put the comic book down"

With a sigh, Shannon put the comic book down. On top of the lockers.

"Hey, not fair!" protested Hurricane, trying to get past Shannon to get his comic back

"Not a chance, come on, lets start stretching, I don't know how Molly puts up with your obsession with comics, it takes up practically all of your time"

"Not all of my time" replied Hurricane with a smile

As they stretched out, warming their muscles up, there was a knock at the door. Hurricane got to his feet and opened it. A woman he didn't know stood there, tall and thin but with well toned muscles, long black hair pulled tightly back into a ponytail and clad in tight fitting work out clothes. She looked a little anxious

"Can I help you?" he asked

"I hope so, have you seen Molly in last hour or so?" she said

"No, why do you ask?"

"I'm her friend Victoria, we had a coffee together and agreed to meet an hour afterwards, it's well over an hour after now, I've looked everywhere for her but no one's seen her" her voice became desperate

"Ok, come in come in" Hurricane ushered her in, trying not to let worry take him over "Shannon, this is Victoria, one of Molly's friends, Victoria, this is Shannon Moore, my best friend and current tag team partner"

Shannon got to his feet quickly and offered his hand. She shook it surprisingly firmly.

"Shannon, you haven't seen Molly this afternoon have you?" asked Hurricane

"No, not since yesterday"

"It's just, I've never known her to be late for anything and she's not in the restrooms, the girl's locker room, the training room, the arena, the canteen, the medic's room" Victoria counted them off on her fingers

"She didn't say where she'd be in the time between when you met for a drink and when you'd meet again an hour later?" questioned Hurricane

"No, it's like she's disappeared off the face of the earth! I've asked so many people if they've seen her and no one has, she's completely vanished"
