2:00-3:00PM

**2:00** Chris suddenly found it hard to swallow. Tears welled up in his eyes. He released Vince's hand and stood up. His eyes met Steph's and she began to cry. Chris walked over and hugged her. His own tears spilled over.

"He....he never .....should've come," Stephanie sobbed. "It's my fault, it's all my fault." She sobbed into his chest.

"Shhh...it's not your fault, no one could've predicted this. Don't blame yourself." He told her. He held her there for a few minutes, the emergency lights beginning to flicker and both of their fathers dead on the floor. At that moment Vince's cell phone went off.

"You might want to answer that." Chris told her softly. Stephanie sniffed and nodded. She walked over with him to search for the phone. Chris check pants pockets while Stephanie check his coat.

"Got it." Chris said, then handed the still ringing phone to her. She flipped it open and answered it.

"Hello?"

**2:06** "Stephanie?" Shane's confused voice asked on the other end.

"Yeah."

"Are you ok? Did Dad find out what was going on?"

"I'm fine Shane, shaken up, but ok."

"Is Dad around, I need to talk to him."

"He's....he's....dead, Shane," Stephanie said. Shane was silent for a moment.

"You need to get out of that hospital. Is Chris there? Is he ok?"

"Yeah, he's fine, he's right here."

"Put him on." Stephanie handed the phone to Chris. Tears were still streaming down her face.

"It's Shane, he wants to talk to you." Chris took the phone from her and she stood up and walked away from her father's body.

"Yeah?"

"Chris? I need a favor." Shane told him.

"Well, I hope that I can help you out." Chris said.

"I need you to get Stephanie out of there and to the arena as soon as you can."

"I'll try to do that."

"Good, and another thing, when you get there, try to remain unseen. Other than Shawn Hickenbottom, I don't know who we can trust." Chris nodded.

"OK," he said.

"I'll be waiting for you when you arrive. Hurry." Shane said, then hung up.

**2:17** Shawn walked into the arena and looked around. It had been ages since he had been here. The ring was just getting set up. It brought back old memories of his D-X days. He sighed and headed towards the locker rooms.

**2:20** Chris surveyed the room. When the explosion occurred, the door and windows had been blocked off by parts of the ceiling that had fallen. They needed to get out of this room, no matter what, because this building wasn't going to hold much longer. Chris checked the window opposite the door. He shoved the stuff out of the way and blinked at the bright sunlight. When his eyes adjusted he began to look around. They were three stories up, so they couldn't jump out the window, but I looked like they might be able to climb down the gutter. Chris turned to Stephanie, who was still wearing the clothes that he'd picked out for her more than 12 hours earlier.

"Stephanie, how good are you at climbing?" He asked her. She shrugged.

**2:24** "I've never really climbed anything before." She told him. "Why?"

Chris sighed. "Do you think that you could follow me in shimmying down the side of the wall?"

"I can try." She said. Chris turned to look back out the window again. "But, do you think that you should really be doing that? I mean, with everything that's happened to you today and all..."

"I'll be fine," he told her, not turning around. "Besides, its our only way out." He told her as the building groaned and tilted to the right a little more.

"Let's go before it's too late." Chris told her.

"But, we can't leave Dad here!!" Stephanie yelled. "He doesn't deserve to dies like this!! He should be able to have a proper burial!!" Chris turned back to her, and walked over to her. He shook her by the shoulders a little bit.

"Stephanie," he said, bringing her very close to him, "Listen to me, I am really sorry about your dad, I am, but you're not the only one who is leaving behind a father. My dad is here too, and I think that it's not right to leave him here, but we can't possibly climb down the wall while hauling them down too. Now, we have to get out of here NOW if we want to live to catch the son of a bitch who set this whole goddamn day up, ok?" he said very sternly to her. Stephanie looked a little shocked by his words.

"OK," she said softly to him. "Let's go." Chris lowered his head to the ground and released his hold on her.

**2:33** Cameron sat next to Kevin Nash on an airplane headed to Connecticut.

"Why did my mom try to kill me?" Cameron asked Kevin hoarsely. Kevin put down the magazine he was reading and looked at his companion.

"I don't really know Cam, maybe she was just....." he trailed off. Cameron stared at him for a while.

"Daddy would never hurt me like that, would he?" he asked him. Kevin smirked and shook his head.

"No, your daddy would cut off his own hand before he hurt you like that. He loves you more than life itself, Cameron. He would move heaven and earth to keep you safe. I've seen him do it before." Kevin told him. Cameron's eyes lit up.

"Really? Dad moved the earth?" Kevin smiled at the little boy's enthusiasm. He decided that Shawn would forgive him if he told a small fib about him.

"He sure did Cameron, he sure did."

**2:43** Chris lifted his arms to help Stephanie down from the gutter.

"You ok?" he asked her, after she hopped down.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey!!! Look over there!!!" Stephanie screamed. Chris looked in the direction she was pointing in.

Finally, God began to smile on Chris.

The WWE Headquarters luxury plane was parked in the parking lot.

"Dad flew here!!" Stephanie screamed. Chris just smiled.

**2:56** Something was finally going right on this dismally long ass day.

Chris and Steph took off running for the plane. They knocked on the cabin door and the pilot smiled at them; he recognized both of them. He opened the door for them.

"Hello, Ms. McMahon, Mr. Irvine, Glad to see both of you again. Where's Mr. McMahon?" he asked.

"He....uh...didn't make it out." Chris answered for Stephnaie.

"Oh. I'm so sorry Stephanie. Tell You mother and Shane that my wife and I send our condolences."

"Thank you." Stephanie said quietly.

"Well, I suppose that the two of you will need a ride back to Stamford, huh?"

**2:59** "You got it."

"Hop on in then." The pilot said. Chris and Stephanie made their way to the back of the plane and sat down. They buckled up and Chris grabbed her hand.

"You've been extremely brave today, Stephanie. You've shown a side of yourself I've never seen before." Chris told her as his muscles sighed with relief from sitting. Steph cast a sideways glance at him.

"You've risked your life so many times today to save mine, I can never thank you enough for it." She said, squeezing his hand, then kissing him gently on the lips as the plane took off.
