"Ya know, I had my ideas of who kidnapped Natalie, but never in a million years did I suspect you..." Dan said as the figure stood up.

It was Gordon Gage.

"And why is that? Don't I have the guts to pull it off?" Gordon asked.

"No, I figured you were smarter than this. I mean, didn't you work in law?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, and your Natalie and Dana ruined that all for me. As soon as Dana broke up with me, life went downhill. Sure, its Casey's fault, but not as much as Natalie! Natalie always tried to convince Dana that she didn't need or want me. Now I repay the favor," Gordon said, as he kicked Natalie.

Dan went off on Gordon, slugging him in the head, knocking him into a wall.

Gordon was so startled by the action, that he had barely any time to recover and prepare for the next punch.

Gordon barely was defending against Dan's wild hits, but finally he started getting the upper hand.

Dan kept hitting him, but as his hits started getting blocked, he realized he was starting to lose, and tire at the same time.

The tides of the fight changed when finally, Gordon got a solid hit to Dan's face.

Dan stumbled back, and looked around. The room was spinning.

"Rydell, I always thought of you as a fighter, and it appears that I wasn't mistaken. Unfortunately, I have you beat, and now you've become my-" Gordon said, but then stopped talking as a fist impacted in his abdomen.

Natalie had somehow sat up at Gordon's feet, and had aimed a punch for him. It was hard enough to take his breath away, and he stumbled back.

Dan took this as his cue to run to Natalie.

He helped her to her feet and started towards the stairs. As he helped Natalie onto the stairs, Gordon stood up and started stumbling towards them.
