Notes: This is the start of the flashback.
Chris knew he had to get out of there. Perry and Nancy said he couldn't but he had to help the others. They may have not said how bad it was but he knew it had to be bad.
It was bad when he got out and from the way Perry and Nancy talked it was worse. He managed to get a copy of the New York Times from another resident. As much as he hated Muchnik he knew he could find what he wanted from his column.
Wrestler Still Missing
by Phil Muchnik
The search for Chris Benoit continues while the Horsemen still reek havoc on RAW. It's something I've been looking forward to report. The end of the WWE. Who can save that company? Linda and Vince have no control over it after a decision that they made a couple years before. Shane isn't in any condition to help and Stephanie's not going against her husband. And rumor has it she's pregnant.
Chris put the paper down. Nothing new that he knew of. If only they'd let him watch TV. RAW is tomorrow. He'd settle for a phone. He never realized how strange this situation was. He was never allowed to make a phone call or watch TV. Why had he never questioned that? He wondered. But who could he call anyway? Calling Dean was out of the question. Ric didn't want to know where he was. Arn was also in the group. Sadly the only person he trusted in that group was Ric.
Now that he knew this place was all a lie he knew he had to get out.

He spent his time in his room going over what had all happened. It had started out so simple and harmless.
"Chris Benoit can I talk to you for a second?" Stephanie McMahon Helmsley asked right before Smackdown was supposed to start. Stephanie and Hunter Hearst Helmsley had gotten remarried a few weeks ago. This was her first night back as Smackdown GM.
Chris looked up from where he was talking to Eddy and Rhyno. He went over there.
"Chris you are being traded to RAW. So you won't be wrestling tonight. You need to be at RAW in Chicago Monday."
Chris nodded. He was glad to be going to RAW. He didn't care much for Smackdown.
If he knew what he did now then he could have made things different
