Notes: This of course takes place right after 85. It's from Athena's POV and written by Dana. I'm glad we could squeeze this in before I went on vacation.
I followed them inside. Chris had placed Danny on one of the beds in the room. Danny was a mess. He had blood flowing from his nose and from other places and he was out cold. A guy who looked familiar to me was checking him over. There were actually several people in the room that I didn't know.
"He should probably have his ribs x-rayed." The man said after he was finished. "And the nose looks broken." I couldn't get over how familiar he looked. I had seen him somewhere I was almost certain of it.
Chris let out a sigh. "I'm going to kill them. You know it had to be Vince's group. How'd they get into his room?"
"I know. I was worried about this." Eddy said coming back into the room along with Chavo. "Shane and Mark went to see if they could follow them." He looked down at Danny. Concern was definitely across his face. "I'll take him to the hospital as soon as he wakes up. Chase you think he will be able to walk down the stairs or take the elevator?"
"He should be. Maybe someone should help him though."
"I'll go." Chavo volunteered.
I looked at Chase for a moment. Wait he said Chase. Now it dawned on me. Now I knew exactly who this man was. This man helped fake the deaths of my dad and Chris.
I glared at him. "You're the medic."
He looked at me. He had fear in his eyes. Eddy got between us. "Hey it's okay. Chase doesn't need to be decked again."
Decked again? Who was lucky enough to deck him before that? I wonder if it was Danny. I saw mom stand up and marched over to him.
"You were the one who faked Owen's death?" Chase could only nod. "I don't know whether to thank you or punch you." That wasn't the reaction I expected from mom.
Chase wisely backed up. "Martha Hart I assume?"
There was a groan before anyone could reply. We all turned to see Danny trying to sit up. Chris was at his side.
While they were trying to get Danny to lie back down, I decided now would be a good time to ask Eddy about what Danny said. "Eddy what's this Kliq Theory? Danny said you were right about it."
Eddy cringed. Everyone in the room turned his way. "I was looking over the list a month ago and I noticed something. Russo said he was pretty sure that Hall, Waltman, and Nash had been involved in some of the things that went on. But he also said that he was almost positive that Vince and group had nothing to do with Louie Spicolli and Rick Rude's deaths. Rude's was a little harder to believe since Rude had crossed Vince. But then when I talked with Eric about it we came to a conclusion. The Kliq, and friends of HBK, were pretty safe." I was about to ask who the Kliq was but Eddy stopped me. "The Kliq comprised of Hickenbottom, Hall, Nash, Helmsly, Waltman, Spicolli, and Polaco. Rude was a friend of Hickenbottom's and Helmsley and Spicolli was a friend of Waltman and Hall. I told Danny all about it just in case."
"It was Polaco and Waltman." A quiet voice said. Danny was now sitting up with the help of Chris and Ric. "There was someone else in the room but I don't have a clue who it was."
The door opened and in stepped Shane and a guy I didn't know. I presumed it was the Mark that Eddy mentioned. "We couldn't catch them but we know it's Sean, Peter, and Joanie." The guy said.
Eddy shook his head. "Let's take Danny to the hospital and then figure out what the hell we are going to do." He said. With the help of Chavo they got Danny to his feet. I noticed one of the agents went with them.
"I know for one thing." Chris said watching them leave. "Danny is not going to be staying on a different floor. I don't even know why he was on a different floor in the first place."
"Uh who are you guys?" I asked the people whom I didn't know. They hadn't said a word.
One of the men chuckled. He had no hair and was sitting on the other bed. A cane was in his hands. "This your daughter, Owen?" He asked.
"Yes it is." Dad said with pride in his voice.
"She does look like you. I'm Steve Austin." He said. So this was Steve Austin. I remember hearing about him earlier. This was another man they had to hide and fake the death of. "And this is my wife Debra." He said turning his head and smiling next to the blond who was sitting next to him.
"Mark Calloway." The guy who I had presumed was named Mark answered.
"Shane Douglas." A man with graying blond hair said he was standing near the connecting door.
"Jim Ross." A man with a cowboy hat answered. He was standing leaning against the wall.
Well at least I knew who they were. And now I knew who this Mark and Shane were. But now what? I wondered.
Erichson spoke up then. "Why don't Mark and Shane go get Danny's stuff out of his room and bring it in here. He can stay here until we think of something else. Oh and make sure no one follows you." He handed them a room key.
They nodded and left.
Now what?
