Dan was busy getting the injection ready as Chris walked around impatiently. "Will you please stop doing that?" Dan asked. "It's making me really nervous."

"You're nervous!" Chris sputtered. "I'm the one who has to get a shot!"

"Sh, please keep it down." Dan looked at his watch. "They'll be here anytime now." Dan lifted the needle away from the jar and tapped it. "There, all done."

"So that means I can go now?" Chris began to slowly get off the table.

"No!" Dan made his way over towards him. "Now hold still and this wont hurt a bit."

"Ah!"

"Hu?" Dan and Chris turned to the sound of the scream, which hadn't come from Chris due to the fact that Dan hadn't even stuck the needle in his arm yet. The two gasped at who they saw.

"Stephanie McMahon!"

"Wha.." She was frozen in shock, even more surprised to see Chris than Chris was to see her. "Chris, is that you?"

"Uh, hi." Chris waved meekly.

"Oh my god, you're alive?!?" Stephanie ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, sobbing bitterly. "I'm so sorry Chris."

"Hey, hey, it's ok." Chris put his arms around her for comfort.

"But how?" Stephanie looked him in the face. "How did you manage to survive?"

"To be honest, I have no idea. I guess the shot wasn't a lethal blow."

"But then why did the doctor."

"I dunno, they're evil!"

"Oh Chris." Stephanie laughed and rubbed the tears off her face. "It really is you."

"Yup." Chris's smile beamed, but in the corner Dan was extremely pissed.

"Come on, we have to go tell the others!" Stephanie pulled Chris out the door.

"But." Dan stammered and then growled, he was dead meat now.

"Everyone, everyone, come quick!" Stephanie yelled as she ran down the hall. Everyone was in the parking lot talking when they heard her voice and turned. They all gasped.

"Chris?" Hulk Hogan's jaw dropped.

"Alive!" Lance Storm was too shocked to move.

"Impossible." Rikishi shook his head, confused.

"I know, it's mind boggling isn't it?" Chris smirked.

"But how?" Christian asked, still surprised.

"I guess the shot Carlos fired at him just narrowly missed his heart." Stephanie explained.

"Wow, that doctor must not be all that smart if he called Chris dead when he really wasn't." Edge laughed to himself.

"Man, are you alright?" Shawn Michaels approached Chris slowly.

"Yea, I guess so."

"You're one lucky guy, you get a second chance on life." Triple H replied.

"I know.." Chris looked around. "Hey, where's Benoit?"

"I dunno, he must be having trouble with security or something." Steph shrugged.

"Uh oh, whoops." Chris blushed to himself.

"I told you, my name is Chris Benoit!" He was saying for the hundredth time.

"But somebody named Chris Benoit has already arrived." The guard replied.

"But I'm Chris Benoit!"

"How can I be sure that you're not an imposter?"

"The other guy's the imposter!"

"You can just let him in, he's with us." Stephanie called.

"Alright. Sorry about this sir." The guard let Chris pass.

"Yea right.." Benoit muttered to himself as he walked into the underground lot. He made he way over to them and when he looked up he gasped.

"Hi." Chris Jericho smiled over at his best friend.

"What the hell.. Chris?" Benoit was stopped in his tracks.

"Yup, it's me." Chris laughed.

"You son of a.!" Benoit tackled him. "It was you who impersonated me with the security guard wasn't it!" Everyone laughed as Benoit held Chris by the collar.

"Wow this is so great, you're alive after all." Stephanie smiled over at Chris. He looked over at her and smiled back. "Chris, I. I just want to say that I'm sorry. You could've been killed if not for me." Chris frowned as Stephanie spoke.

"But I'm not dead, it's all ok." Chris hugged her for comfort.

"Hey, if you're really alive after all, we need to tell Vince!" She gasped.

"Well where is he?" Chris looked around and Stephanie sighed.

"He's confined himself to his home back in Connecticut, nobody's seen or heard from him since we thought you died. Not even my mom and brother can get through to him."

"Oh my gosh, wow." Chris felt horrible, he'd caused so much pain and felt bad about it.

"Ahem?" The sudden sound made everyone turn.

"Dan."

"Have you forgotten that Carlos is on the loose?"

"That's right." Chris growled from deep in his throat.

"Chris no." Stephanie said sternly.

"He's out to get you guys, but he's really after me. This is all about revenge and I have to do this alone, I can't jeopardize you all again, this is my fight and I have to do it alone."

"But Chris." Stephanie stopped when Chris's eyes met her. She reluctantly nodded.

"He's here in Atlantic City, I know it." Chris began to pace, thinking. "How do I find him?"

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" Dan stepped forward, everyone turned to him. "I think I know where he might be hiding." Everyone had gone into the cafeteria so they could all plan out their attack. "While I was in the other hotel, there was some pretty shady business going on in there."

"Shady business?" Rikishi asked as he ate.

"What do you mean?" Chris was listening carefully.

"I can't say, but I think it had to do with Carlos."

"I'll go for it." Chris stood up.

"But Chris, how can you be sure it's really him? You can get mixed up with something else." Stephanie held his arm.

"We need to go with any leads we can get, Steph. Don't you worry." Chris turned to Dan. "Come on Dan, let's go." Everyone looked up at them. "I need you to come with me, you're the only guy I've got who can help and I need all the help I can take."

"I understand." Dan nodded.

Everyone watched as the two left. Stephanie sighed, she felt a horrible feeling rising in her stomach. Dan and Chris walked outside and began to make their way to the hotel. The sky was dark and rumbling, the storm was about ready to begin.
