Disclaimer: I own no own in the story...as you would expect..

A/N: Hmm..not much to say, other than I can't see who reviewed last chapter and what they said. Thanks to whomever did. My computer sucks major butt, but thanks anyway!!

**6:00-7:00**

**6:00** Hunter followed the tracks that Chris and Stephanie left until he reached the stream. There, he lost which direction they turned because there were no revealing tracks.

"Damn," he muttered. He'd lost them again. He decided to pick a direction and see if he could find them. If not, well he'd lie and say that he killed them personally. Then he would hop a plane to the farthest country he could find. He hoped it wouldn't come to that, though.

**6:02** Hunter picked the route that led in the direction that the sun was rising. He followed the stream and crossed his fingers.

**6:05** Four miles ahead of him, Chris and Steph were panting from running so much.

"I beat you!!" He exclaimed, his head still pounding and every part of his body aching. He walked in a circle and held up an imaginary belt. Steph rolled her eyes. The stream hadn't stopped, like he said would be the finish point for the race, he had just gotten tired of running. Steph smile anyways. Chris yawned a little and popped his back.

"You think 'ole ape nose is still following us? We probably left a million tracks." He said. She shrugged.

"Given the velocity at which we fell off of the hill, and the time it took us to get here, if Hunter hasn't started stalking us again, he will be soon." She answered. Chris stared at her with a blank look on his face.

**6:11** "What?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing at all, I was just wondering why you answered a very simple question with a bunch of crazy terminology."

"Shut up." She told him. He stuck out his tongue and peered up the hill from which they had just run down.

"I think that we need to keep moving."

"Whatever you say."

"Are you mad at me for making fun of you, princess?" He mocked her. She rolled her eyes.

"How could I be mad at you? You're the highlight of the night!! No woman that is drunk can resist you!!"

"That's right-hey wait a minute!"

"Just shut up and go, Irvine."

"Keep in the stream, princess."

**6:17** Eric Bischoff looked at Trish, who was resting her head against a pillow at the moment. She was his spy. She told him what Vince was planning to do, and even had put in a word for him to be the new GM of RAW. He supposed that he would be named it on RAW tonight, which he had no problem with. He couldn't wait until after the show, though. Because that's where the real fun would begin.

But, he wouldn't dwell on that too much. It was an ingenious plan, if he could say so himself.

Eric walked over to his laptop and read the same thing that he'd been reading for 2 years.

"Car Crash Kills Three, Leaves Two in Critical Condition." He felt his blood boil just by reading the title of the article.

"Chris Irvine, Stephanie McMahon, you will finally suffer the same fate as my wife and children." He said to himself.

**6:21** Eric allowed his mind to wander about what Trish had told him earlier. She had told him that she was out at a club with a few of the other superstars, Irvine and Stephanie included, and they all had a few drinks. Although few, she said was a vast understatement. The subject of the crash had come up in their conversation.....

"Yeah, Junior over there was driving," Steph started. Chris shot her a glare to try and silence her.

"Give a rest Steph, I don't need you to hassle me about this too, now." He told her, but she kept going.

"Yeah, sure, it was an accident, but either way, it makes you a murderer, Chris. You know that, don't you?" She yelled. Chris lowered his head as the screams filled his mind again. He tried to shove them away, but they wouldn't leave, and he feared that they would never leave. He spoke softly.

"It was late, the road was wet; it was an honest to God accident, Steph. You know that as much as I do." Chris said.

"Sure, I do Chris. Sure I do. Murderer....Murderer....." She taunted him. Chris muttered something and walked out. Stephanie kept chanting it until he was out of sight.

**6:27** Eric smiled. If what Trish said was true, then their relationship was not a strong one. It would be even easier to tear them apart.

**6:30** Hunter kept walking along the creek bed until he found something that he'd been hoping to see.

A footprint.

He looked at it closely. It looked like the ones he'd seen before.

"Gotcha." He muttered.

"Um, actually, I beg to differ." Steph said suddenly from behind him. He almost jumped out of his skin. He hadn't been expecting to see her.

"Hello Steph, glad to see that you're ok. Where's Chris?"

"We got angry and went our separate ways. I think it had something to do with what I said to him the night before."

Hunter nodded. His luck was changing for the better.

"Well, Steph, how about you come on back with me, and we'll talk about everything?" Hunter said. He wrapped an arm around her and grabbed a hold of the gun in his coat. He pulled it out as Chris tackled him to the ground. The gun went flying out of Hunter's grasp, and the two men went at it.

**6:39** Steph picked up the gun and back away. After her experience with the skillet, she didn't think she wanted to take her chances with a gun.

Both of them rolled around throwing punches, but it didn't look like either man would ever get the advantage. Steph gulped and raised the gun.

**6:42** Chris glanced over and saw that Steph was trying to get a clear shot, be he also took a guess that she didn't know how to fire a gun. Chris ran for the nearest tree and grabbed onto a huge branch. He weight made it crack, and Chris tossed it at Hunter, hitting him in the head. Hunter slumped to the ground. Stephanie was still holding the gun in her hands, but her hands were shaking so hard, she couldn't have hit someone if they were standing right in front of her.

**6:46** Stephanie let the gun slip from her hands and started to cry. Chris ran over to her and hugged her. She sobbed into his chest and kept shaking for a few minutes.

**6:53** Eric pulled on his jeans and absently wondered what Hunter was doing. He grabbed a phone and dialed the cell.

Chris was still holding Steph when the phone began to ring.

"Oh great." He muttered. "Now what do we do?"

"Answer it." Steph said into his chest. He nodded and went over to pick it up as it rang for the third time. He picked it up and answered it.

"Hello?" Chris asked in his best HHH voice.

"Hunter, have you found them yet?" Bischoff yelled into the phone. Chris' jaw dropped in shock. His eyes went wide and he nearly dropped the phone. He'd know that man's voice anywhere.

**6:59** "Uh yeah, I think I see 'em up ahead. I'll call you back." Chris said hurriedly, then hung up the phone.

"Who was it?" Steph asked, seeing his expression. The phone slipped from his hand. He stared into thin air with a look of complete shock frozen on his face. Steph walked over to him and waved a hand in front of his face. Finally he spoke.

**7:00** "Eric Bischoff." He whispered.
