Chris was growing bored listening to the Harris brothers talking. Brian was driving, Ron in the passenger seat, and Don in the back next to him. He had no idea where they were going and they weren't saying. He wanted to call someone on his cellphone but remembered he didn't have it. He hadn't had one since whenever it was he went to Ashley Glen.
He sighed. His mind wandered back to the night the Horsemen took over RAW and kicked Austin out as GM.
/Flashback/
They were all standing in the back. Helmsley had managed to convince Vince to hire the Harris twins. Vince didn't suspect a thing. Not only were Chris, Ric, Triple H, and Nash members but also there were at least five others. Chris didn't know who they were but Triple H and Bischoff had been bragging about it.
They waited until Austin was standing in the ring trying to calm down an irate Michaels and Rock after some double cross.
The old Horsemen music came through the speakers. The expression on Steve's face was priceless. Linda had fired Bischoff weeks ago after decking Austin. Seemed the rule applied to him also.
They got into the ring. Austin grabbed the mic out of the Rock's hand. "Get the hell out this ring. Bischoff you don't work here!" None of them left the ring. Austin was seething. "Last warning. Get out of here!" Still no one moved. "Security." He yelled. Austin didn't know that was a mistake. The security worked for Bischoff. They had for several weeks. They came out to ringside. "Escort Bischoff out of the building."
They turned as if to do that but instead attacked the unsuspecting Rattlesnake. Rock and Michaels momentarily forgot their own problems and tried to help Austin. But they were greatly outnumbered. The locker room emptied.
Bischoff, who had jumped out of the ring when the melee started, grabbed the microphone that had been tossed out. "It's time to make a choice." Eric yelled trying to be louder then the chaos in the ring. "You either stick with Austin and get burned, or you join the Horsemen who are taking back RAW!" The fans reacted to the word Horsemen.
The wrestlers separated as if to see who would join or who would stay. Chris wasn't sure that there were going to be wrestlers to join them. He had been surprised when Test and Three Minute Warning had joined. But RVD was one of the first people to cross the line much to the fans surprise. Then wrestlers started crossing quickly. All in all the following joined: Chief Morley, Jazz, Maven, La Resistance, Stacy Kiebler, William Regal, Chris Nowinski, and Christian. Made Chris wonder if maybe they had known ahead of time.
Then the fight started again. Someone tossed Chris a chair. He was hitting Spike Dudley with it. Someone grabbed his arm and he swung around and nailed them with the chair. When he looked down, he felt bad. He just nailed Trish Stratus with it.
/flashback/
Chris sighed. He hadn't meant to hit Trish with the chair. It had been an accident. It wasn't the first time he did something he hadn't meant to. And some he did but they came with repercussions. He sighed. Why did things get messed up?
The car pulled into a driveway. He got out of the car. Ron grabbed his arm. "I'm not going to bold." He said trying to pull his arm out of the grip. He let go. He followed them in. RVD was playing Ron Simmons at pool. Bill Alfonzo was sitting there writing something on a note pad. When did Fonzie become a member? He wondered who else was a member.
"Don't just stand there Benoit. Sit. You aren't going anywhere." He turned around to see Dean standing in the doorway. He glared at him before sitting on the couch.
Mongo walked in. He jumped to his feet and punched him square in the face but didn't stop there. It took both Harris twins to pull him off. He was still kicking at air.
"You asshole!" He yelled. "How could you?"
"How could I not? I was promised a piece of Austin."
"SO you sold me out." Chris said.
"Like so many have Benoit." Mongo said.
He was let go and he sat angrily back on the couch. He was getting out of here again.
He sighed. His mind wandered back to the night the Horsemen took over RAW and kicked Austin out as GM.
