Memories of Past and Present
Part 13

Kane paced back and forth. It had been more than a few hours since Rob should have returned from Vince's office. He was beginning to wonder if Vince had something to do with Rob's disappearance. Cena walked through the door. Kane looked up at him, noticing that Rob wasn't with him.

"Dawg, I can't find him. I can't find Lumpy either." Cena looked down at the floor. "I failed him. I promised Rob no matter what happen that I would protect him."

"He didn't want that all the way." Kane's heart bled at Cena's admission. "He wanted to be strong for once. He was trying to be the old Rob Van Dam that we all love. I think he was getting tired of the fact that he was relying on us for his battles."

"Kane it way too early for him to do that, Hommes…" Eddie walked into the conversation. Eddie was right and Kane didn't want to admit that he just caused his lover danger.

"Don't dwell on this though. I know that Tommy and I could track Corino and Lynn down like nothing." Sandman was trying to sound encouraging, but it was passing as such. His voice wavered as much as Cena's. They were all afraid of what was going to happen to Rob.

"Fuck!" Tommy screamed. "I hate feeling so useless."

"Even I have know idea where Vince is. Heyman told me that he wasn't at his office." Taker replied. They all looked up at Taker. Eddie and Cena both went pale.

"Hommes, what did you say?" Eddie whispered with intent.

"I said that Heyman didn't find Vince in his office… That was just as I got here." Taker wasn't seeing what those two were so worried about. He looked around, and he noticed that Rob wasn't with them. "Where's the kid?"

"Dawg! I can't believe this. Corino and Lynn were on this the whole time. Heyman wasn't the problem. It was VINCE!" Cena replied. A sickly feeling came over him.

"Oh god!" Tommy realized the importance of what Cena was getting at.

"Okay I don't understand at all… Why would Corino and Lynn have to do with Vince?" Bubba asked. D-Von was still trying to assimilate the information.

"Okay here's the deal…" Tommy started. Only Sandman and him knew the full extent of how bad the situation probably got. "Vince has been after Rob from the start, well at least since he started working in the WWE. Unfortunately Rob didn't want anything to do with him. This really angered Vince…" Tommy let the tears that he held flow down his face.

"Vince started to show how much it angered him." Sandman continued. "He started to make those who were aligned with him and were also friends with Rob turn their backs on Rob. It hurt him badly. He just decided to stick with it anyway. He made reappearance in ECW, but it was hard for him to be there too. Corino and Lynn made it really difficult for him to be happy."

"So Vince had in for Rob from the start? That's not right!" Cena spat. Kane nodded.

"I watched mostly from the sidelines. He was tormented left and right. Vince gave him the chances for the belts so that the audience wouldn't catch on to what was going on. He was getting hell in the locker room all the time." Kane went on to explain. "At the time I really didn't trust any one that well and neither did he. We talked seldom, but in the end we got thrown together for the tag team belts. Those were happier times."

"So it probable that Vince had Booker doing this stuff from the start…" Eddie didn't want to think about it. Kane nodded.

"Yeah it's probable, and it's more likely that Corino and Lynn got their jobs because of Vince and that little secret that Rob held for all those years." Taker replied. Kane looked into Taker's eyes. Kane was swelling with emotion that it was difficult for him to hide what he felt.

"That son of a bitch! I can't believe this!" Cena cursed. "Where the hell is Kurt?"

"Here." Cena turned behind him looking at Kurt Angle. He smiled as he walked into the door.

"Lumpy, I hope for you're sake, you have a reason that you couldn't be found!" Cena yelled.

"Cena cool it!" Kurt replied. His voice showed that he was not going to be played with. "I've been on the phone with a few of my links. Yes Vince, Lynn, and Corino are working together. And yes they got Rob. Hold on a second!" Kurt tried to settle down the small group. "I talked to Linda and she's going to be here in a few minutes. She has an idea of what to do about this. Oh, Kane you never lost you're job. Linda reinstated you back on the Roster, but on Smackdown."

"Lumpy I hope what you are doing is going to work." Cena was furious. Kurt looked at him annoyed.

"Stop calling me that!" Kurt snapped. Cena looked offended by Kurt's reaction.

"Lumpy, Lumpy, Lumpy, LUMPY!" Cena replied back. Kurt smacked his forehead as a little laughter escaped out of the group. A little tension was relived out of the group.

Rob, however wasn't doing well. In fact, he was tied up all over again. The only difference this time was that he was tied up to a bed. Unfortunately it was Vince's bed that he used when he was whoring around. The musty sent of the bed made him queasy.

"Well Van Dam are you thinking of doing something? Or are you going to lay there and act like this is all a dream?" Lynn laughed. Rob glanced over at Lynn. He shuffled a bit so that he was facing Lynn.

"You know I'm starting to get really tired of all of you tying my hands up. Can't you come up with anything original?" Rob sarcastically snapped.

"Do you really want to see what we have in mind?" Corino whispered.

"Uh, NO." Rob decides that he was not in the position to start anything. He knew that if he angered either Corino or Lynn that he would be raped and hurt severely from his mouth.

"God I hope Kane finds me soon…" Rob said under his breath.
