Disclaimer: Still remains the same. I do not own any of the actual WWE Superstars in this story but I'm still planning on it. I do own Hayley Peterson-Gowen and I do own Ariel the best friend. Other then that it's all up for grabs folks.

A/N: In light of recent developments, making Zach sleep with a hoe, and Hayley go with her dad it took me awhile to decide where this one needed to go. So in the interest of fairness this story will be shocking in the weeks to come and you will not see it coming at all. So get ready to be dazzled. LOL Seriously though, this is a filler chapter as I'm writing it right off the top of my head. If I do make it more then a filler good for me, otherwise don't get too depressed if it looks like crap. I've got one too many stories floating that need release.

*******************************************************

Zach drove in absolute silence, the car radio turned down low so all you could hear was the low monotone voice of someone singing, but would be unsure of what. He needed to think. He knew she had gone to her mothers and that's where he was headed now, hell bent on making his wife listen to him and to bring their baby home safe and sound.

He knew he had messed up, there was no other way around it, but he had to be able to make it right. They had worked through so much hardship in the past that it only seemed natural they could beat this too. As he turned into the driveway he saw the lights turned down, realizing that with the hour of night her mother was probably safe in bed. Turning the car off, being as quiet as he could he made the slow walk up the walkway. He mentally went over everything he had prepared to say to her if she opened the door.

When he reached the door he noticed it unlocked and slightly ajar. Knowing that Hayley would never forget to lock a door, he pushed in on it lightly letting it creak itself open. What he saw when he entered almost made him want to pass out in shock.

"Oh my God, Mrs. Peterson? Can you hear me?" Bending down to the floor as fast as he could, fear cascading through him now, he realized that she wasn't breathing and that she barely had a pulse. He suddenly realized that someone else could be in the house and have hurt Carioca and Hayley. Filling her air with lungs he tried to revive her but to no avail. He checked her pulse again and released that it was gone. He didn't know where Hayley was but he knew she was going to lose her mind when she found out her mother was dead.

Taking a blanket out of blind respect and placing it over her mother's lifeless body he went to look for his wife. If she had come here like Randy had said then where was she now? Had she found her mother and thinking she was dead freaked out and ran, and if she did, why did she do it? His mind was so bogged down with questions that he knew he had to find his family quick before something else happened to them. Grabbing his cell out of his pocket he dialed the all too familiar number and prayed that they weren't still mad.

"Ello?"

"Randy did I wake you?"

"Zach what the hell do you want now? I told you to leave us the hell alone."

"Randy I don't have time for this. Something's happened and as her friend I need your help."

Randy immediately moved up in bed because Zach could hear him fidgeting to get dressed and to wake up Ariel who he assumed was fast asleep beside him. While he waited for Randy to stop moving he tried to think of where Hayley would go if she did indeed find her mother dead and he couldn't think of one place, other then the home they shared.

"Okay what the hell is going on Zach? Where are you and what did you do with Hayley?"

"I went looking for her. I came to her mothers house, but Randy there's something seriously wrong here. She's dead, and Hayley and the baby are nowhere to be found. Did she come by there or have you seen her at all?"

"No, when you left we went to bed, there hasn't been a noise all night. Who is dead?

"Mrs.Peterson is Randy. I tried to do what I could because I felt a very faint pulse but whatever I did it didn't help and she's gone. I don't know what to do here and i need your help."

"I'm on my way, and Zach don't make a damn move until i get there you hear me? Call the detective and let him know whats happened. Don't worry we'll find her."

Placing the phone back in his pocket he looked down at where his mother in law lay with the blue blanket now draped over her lifeless body. Someone had come here tonight to kill her or to make her scared and they had succeeded. He only prayed that they didn't do the same with Hayley.

****************************************************

"Jim it's Randy, have you heard from Hayley today? I know you said something about her flying out to see you tomorrow and I wondered if maybe she got there early."

"Well no one in their right mind would call me this early, aside from you. Randy what's going on son?"

"Zach's in trouble and we think someone might have taken Hayley. Her mother is dead, Zach is there with her but Hayley and the baby are nowhere to be found."

"Could it be her father?"

"I think it's safe to assume that, or whoever he was working with. Jim I think there is someone helping him on the inside of this and I need to find out who before this gets any more out of hand. There is already one dead body and I don't want to deal with anymore."

"Would he actually kill his own girl?"

"I don't know but from the sounds of it, he's a pretty heavy drinker and he needs to be stopped before he does something he regrets."

"I'll talk to Vince and see if he can find out if she flew out here or called him for any reason. Randy, don't panic we'll find her."

******************************************************************

"Why are you doing this dad?"

Hayley was strapped to the chair, only allowed to have one hand free to tend to Carioca. She was so happy that Carioca wasn't a baby that cried alot otherwise she might not have been able to deal with her this way. She knew her dad was loosing it but looking through him now and seeing what he was capable off she couldn't help but feel slightly scared.

"I want you to understand that you belong with me. I'm your only family now. The only person that cares."

"Did you care when you beat me and mom?"

"I did care, and your mother is no longer among the living so leave her out of this."

"What are you talking about dad? What did you do to mom?"

"I shut her up. That's all you have to know for right now."

"Why are you so hell bent on getting me on your side?" she had to think of something to say because the pain of realizing that he had killed her mother was taking over her entire being. She had to make sure he kept talkng and that she kept him comfortable, for her sake and for the safety of her baby.

"Hayley, I loved you then and I love you now. Your mother saw fit to take you away from me and put me in jail and everyday since I dreampt about coming back and reclaiming you as my baby girl. I wanted you to have the best family, I wanted to be a grandfather to your children, even if it is by the cheating gimp. Hayley I only want whats best for you."

"What is best for me then dad?"

"Being safe, and being away from that man that decided to mistake his vows for a good lay with a bonafied slut. Hayley don't you see, you belong with me, and you deserve a whole lot better then what you've been given."

Hayley had no idea what he was getting at but she was becoming more and more alarmed by the minute. He really did think he was doing the right thing for her. There had to be a way that she could get him to let her go. She had to get contact with someone before it was too late and he really flipped his lid.

"So you said Brock wasn't my brother, well then who is?"

"Remember that detective?"

"The one that was outside my house doing surveillance?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Your mother had an affair and he was the result of that, which was partially the reason I drank. She gave him away and when she became pregnant with you, it seemed like everything would work out fine. Well he's your brother, I am his father, bu t contrary to belief, no one knew that until recently. I used Brock in my plan to drive you away from Zach and in the end he died for the cause. Your brother has been stalking you and tailing you and reporting back to me. But there's more."

"What else could you possibly say to me? Do you realize the kind of hell you've put me through. You don't love me at all, I'd be shocked if you even liked me."

"Brian Kendrick, the love of your life, is my stepson now. He didn't know until recently but when he found out it didn't shock him too much. You see you broke his heart when you went back with Zach and had his baby. But the baby might not even be Zach's isn't that right?"

Hayley was frozen in shock. All of this was coming at her and she couldnt think straight. There was no way that Brian could really be helping her father ruin her life and there was no way that her father could know about the paternity issue.

"You don't know what you're talking about. I took the test, it's Zach's baby."

"Tests can be done wrong, or even switched if you pay the right people."

"You didn't?"

"I'm not saying because now is not the time, but the fear is there. Brian loves you Hayley, he never stopped and yes you two did sleep together and technically you two are related but not in a sick perverse way. I wanted you to believe that just to steer you here where you are now. He's my stepson, but he's also a lover burned. So with the help of you're real brother posing as a cop and your step brother posing as a friend, I was able to come back into your world. I never should have been forced out off to begin with."

"I can't believe what you're telling me. You got all of these people who were mad at me because of the screwed up events of the last three years and you made them hurt me? I killed Brock for no reason other then that you set him up that way?"

"Yes. Don't you remember how Brock saved your life, and then Randy came to you afterwards and told you that Brock had planned it? Well he didn't. I did. I was the bartender that night in the club when Randy put the moved on you. I fed you drugs and booze. You all played a part in my game."

"But why?"

"Because I love you, and I'm afraid dear Hayley that you and your precious little girl aren't going anywhere."
