10:00-11:00PM

**10:00** Chris put a hand to his forehead.

"Jesus Christ Stephanie!!! Were you really that desperate??" Chris yelled. Stephanie glared at him.

"Well, I slept with you, I must be." She said. Chris bit his lip and rubbed his chin, he was trying very hard not to blow up and yell at her.

"Let's talk about this somewhere else." He said. He began walking down the hallway and she followed him. He opened the door to the first room he came across, and they both walked in.

That room, of course, was the boiler room.

Neither one noticed that Shawn was lying, beat up in the corner of the room, clutching his son to his chest, nor did they notice Mark sitting in a chair on the opposite corner of the room. They were both too intent on finishing this argument. Shawn turned his tear-stained face away from his unconscious son's to look at them.

**10:03** "When? When did you sleep with him?" Chris asked.

"It's none of you god damn business!" Stephanie screamed at him.

"Was it when we were still dating?" Chris asked. Mark now turned to see who was interrupting his concentration on what to do to Shawn next.

"No, it was before that."

"Oh, so you lied!!"

"I did NOT!!"

"As much as I'd love to hear what the fuss is all about," Mark said, emerging from the shadows. Both Stephanie and Chris whirled around at the sound of someone else's voice. They finally saw Shawn and Cameron and Mark. "I should probably first welcome you in." Mark finished. He grabbed Stephanie by the arm, and threw her into the wall over by Shawn. Then, he punched Chris in the stomach and hurled him headfirst into the back wall. Stephanie screamed. Mark glared at her, and she silenced herself.

**10:07** Kevin walked around the main part of the arena again.

"Cameron, where are you, buddy?" Kevin yelled out. Randy Orton, Flair and Batista all walked up to him.

"Who's that you're looking for, Kevin?" Randy asked. Kevin glared at him.

"No one you would know, Randy, now get out of my way."

"I can't do that."

"Why not, plenty more room in this hallway to take up, instead of blocking his way, Randy." Jay said, coming up to the group. Torrie was walking a little behind him. Kevin folded his arms over his chest. Randy glared at them all.

"Something big is going to go down before the clock strikes midnight." Randy said. "Sounded to me like it would involve your friends." He finished, then walked off with Flair in the lead and Batista bringing up the rear.

"Wonder what the hell he's talking about." Kevin asked. Torrie shrugged, but Jay had a grim look on his face.

"Who were you looking for, Kevin?" Kevin lowered his head for a moment.

"Shawn's son, Cameron, I lost him somewhere in here. He probably just got side tracked and wandered off."

"I think what Randy was talking about is going to involve Shawn and Cameron." Jay said. "As well as Chris and Stephanie."

**10:12** Chris groaned as Mark kicked him in the ribs again. His ribs, which were already busted up and bruised beyond belief. Mark's second kick caught him where the bullet had caught him earlier in the day. Chris managed to get a muffled scream out. He buried his face in the floor. Shawn winced as he watched this spectacle. Cameron was just beginning to wake up again.

Stephanie turned her head and winced with every kick and every howl of pain that came from Chris. By the sixth kick, the door flew open.

And in walked Eric Bischoff.

**10:17** "Hello, Stephanie." Bischoff greeted her, letting his eyes roam over her body. "So wonderful to see you again." Stephanie crossed her arms over her chest. Eric turned to Shawn who was cradling his son, who was coughing horribly.

"It's really sad that your son has to suffer through this too, Shawn. You should know better than to bring a child along to a wrestling event." Shawn glared at Bischoff. Chris began to cough and spit. Bischoff finally turned his attention to him.

"You know Chris, You don't know how much you and Shawn are alike. You both are so resilient at first, then you simply clam up, and take the pain. Then, eventually, you will die. Not for a cause, like soldiers do, but like morons." Bischoff said, getting in Chris' face.

"Leave him alone Eric." Stephanie pleaded. Bischoff turned around to face Stephanie again. Chris contemplated for a split second, letting her taste some pain, but he knew that wouldn't be right. Nor, would he be able to bear it and keep his anger in check. Bischoff took a step towards her.

"Don't touch her Bischoff," Chris said, spitting blood as he talked. "I'll kill you." He threatened before getting kicked in the ribs again. Bischoff got closer and closer to Stephanie.

At that point, Linda McMahon walked back into the boiler room.

**10:20** "Eric." Linda said shortly. She had a look on her face that was unreadable to all of the occupants in the room. Eric turned to face her.

"Yes, Linda?" He asked.

"What are you doing in here? You weren't supposed to come in here for another hour." Linda said, shocking the four tortured people in the room.

"Vince was set up." Chris' voice came from the ground. "He was set up by his own wife. His own fucking wife." Mark kicked him again. Linda turned to Chris, ignoring the shocked look on her daughter's face.

"His wife indeed, Chris, but you of all people, should know how deceiving McMahon's can be." She sneered. Chris looked at Linda, then at Stephanie. Stephanie was still staring at her mother in shock. Linda turned to Stephanie.

"Are you expecting some sort of apology, Stephanie? Because if you are, then you're going to be expecting something that's not going to happen." Linda walked up to her daughter and helped her to stand up. Stephanie yanked her arm away. Linda slapped Stephanie across the face. Steph fell to the floor and Chris felt the urge to slap her.

Eric walked up behind Linda and wrapped his arms around her.

"Maybe you should leave, babe. Things could get gruesome here pretty soon." Linda simply shook her head. Bischoff grew impatient. This was HIS idea, HIS show, and HIS revenge. There was no way he was going to let this stupid bitch screw that up for him.

"Leave Linda." He told her calmly. Linda again shook her head. Bischoff brought her close to the door and then simply tossed her outside, locking the door from this side, with the lock that he had installed for this purpose. Most of the time, people would be locked in, but with this lock, to which he, and only he had the key, people could be locked out.

"Bitch." He muttered as Linda began to bang on the door.

Bischoff once again started towards Stephanie. He got within inches of her face, then he began to speak.

"Do you think that I will show you mercy, Stephanie? Do you think I'd show mercy to you, simply because I screwed you once? Look at you mother for instance. I've slept with her, and before this night is over, I will kill her, as well as you." Stephanie slapped the taste out of his mouth. She then tried to bolt towards the door, but he caught her by the arm.

"I don't think so Stephanie." He growled. He pinned her to the wall.

"You leave her alone, Bischoff." Chris growled. Bischoff smiled, and turned to Mark.

"Bring him here." Bischoff instructed. Mark pulled Chris off of the floor, and pinned his arms behind him. Then he marched him towards Bischoff.

**10:31** "Do you want to know what we did that night, Chris?" Chris shook with anger. Stephanie was trying desperately to get away from Bischoff. Shawn was getting ready to strike.

"Leave her alone, Bischoff, It's not her you want pay back on, it's me." Chris said.

"Very touching Chris. But, I think that I was, hands down, the better, more experienced lover to our little slut here."

"Really." Chris said, trying to act interested, while he thought about what he was going to do next.

"Oh sure. Because the question with us would be what DIDN'T we do, right Stephy?" Stephanie was crying by this point and Chris felt his blood boil. His heart was divided however. She HAD betrayed him. What was going to stop her from doing so again? He kept his face stone, even through what Bischoff did next.

Bischoff had a very short fuse, so Stephanie's cry naturally aggravated him. All the while, Linda's banging on the door had stopped as well.

"Shut up, you stupid bitch!!" Eric yelled, slapping Stephanie. Chris clenched his teeth together. He would give his right arm to punch Bischoff at that moment. Before anyone knew what was going on, Shawn jumped on Mark, freeing Chris. Chris slammed his fist into Bischoff's face. Stephanie fell to the ground, as did Shawn. Mark came up behind Chris, and brought him off of Bischoff. He tossed Chris into the wall again, dislocating his left shoulder. Chris screamed in pain. He closed his eyes. When he reopened them, Shawn was crawling over towards Cameron, and Stephanie was next to him. Eric and Mark were arguing about something.

**10:37** "I'm so sorry," she whispered with tears rolling down her face. Chris winced both at the sight of her crying and the enormous amount of pain that shot through his body when he shifted his weight a little.

"It's fine." He said curtly to her. His heart wasn't ready to trust again lickety-split. Stephanie fell silent next to him as Bischoff and Mark walked back over.

"Ready for some more fun?" Bischoff asked, grabbing Stephanie by the arm and yanking her to her feet. "Let's finish this argument, shall we?" Chris glared at him.

"Sure." He said.

"Well, since you're making a big deal about Steph sleeping with me and not letting you know about it, who all have you slept with, Chris?" Bischoff said, pulling out a gun and pointing it to Chris' head. "And don't lie to me."

Chris stared down the barrel of the gun. At this point he really couldn't have cared less if he got shot.

**10:45** "We need to find them, do you know where they are?" Jay asked the production guy. He shook his head.

"I haven't seen Chris or Stephanie since Bischoff and Chris' match." The guy said. Jay nodded.

"All right, thanks anyhow." Jay walked back over to Kevin and Torrie.

"They seem to have just disappeared off the face of the planet." Jay said. Torrie nodded.

"We can't give up on them, though. From what you tell me, wherever they are, Bischoff is sure to follow." Kevin said.

**10:51** "You want to know who all I've slept with Bischoff? Fine. Stephanie. Only her."

"How many times?" Bischoff asked, moving the gun from him to Stephanie's head. Chris remained as calm as he could, but this whole situation was starting to piss him off.

"Once, today. Around 5:30 or so." Chris said. Bischoff began to laugh.

"You're pathetic, you have hundreds of women who would throw themselves at you every day and you only sleep with her?" Chris sighed.

"Look, do you have a problem with the way I live my life? The last time I checked, I control my life." Chris said to him. Bischoff smiled at him and once again aimed the gun at him. Shawn and Cameron were forced to just sit and watch since Mark was hovering by them.

"Check again." Bischoff told him. Chris didn't even seem fazed at the idea of dying anymore. Stephanie was going hysterical. "You know what, I think it's time we let our friend back in." Bischoff said to Mark. "By the way, Chris, did you ever find your so-called "mole" in the company?"

**10:59** "Sure I did, it was Linda all along, we all knew that." Chris said. Bischoff nodded at him.

"Very good, Chris, very good. Wanted to make sure that you were still paying attention. Mark unlocked the door, and Linda's headless body fell into the room. Mark jumped back.

"Holy shit!" Bischoff turned to see what was going on, and smiled.

"Right on time." He said. A shadowy figure appeared in the doorway. They walked in and then closed the door. Chris, Shawn, and Stephanie were all trying to see who it was. The person kept walking until his face was revealed, as well as the head he held in his right hand. Chris was frozen with shock.

**11:00** "Shane?"
