Disclaimer: I don't own Randy Orton (shucks!) or any other WWE superstar that may appear in my story. They are the property of themselves and Vince McMahon. If I did, do you really think I'd be sharing Randy with all of you? Anyways, I don't own them but I am using them in my story. I only own my original characters and the storyline, which I have created. Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 16 – Searching for Danielle

Ric dropped the phone. His face was going blank and turning white. He dropped down onto the bed.

"Ric, what's wrong." Randy asked. Ric didn't answer him. "C'mon Ric, talk to me. What happened to Dani?" Randy was starting to panic.

"Screeching tires, screaming, and then the phone went dead." Ric said still in shock and barely audible.

"WHAT! Ric we have to find her."

"Don't you think I know that?" Ric was regaining his composure.

"How are we going to find her?" Randy was definitely starting to panic now.

Ric stood up trying to calm Randy down. "Look Randy, we both just need to calm down and figure out what to do."

"Okay, you're right." Randy was starting to calm down, at least on the outside but on the inside his heart was breaking.

"I want you to check hospitals because I'm sure she'll end up at one based on what I heard. I'm going to go out and look for her."

"Maybe we should get some help. Neither of us should be alone right now."

"Yeah, you're right. Thankfully we don't leave this city until tomorrow so we could probably enlist the help of Paul and Dave."

"I'll go find Dave. Danielle took your rental didn't she? You should probably see if Paul would take you to look for her in his rental."

"Yeah, okay that's what we will do. I'm going to call the police first though. I'm sure they can help us look for her."

Both guys left the hotel room with a purpose. Both of them were very shaken. Ric couldn't imagine loosing the daughter he had just found and Randy couldn't imagine living without Danielle in his life.

Randy found Dave's room quickly, filled Dave in on what was going on, and Dave quickly agreed to help Randy. In the few weeks he had known Danielle she had become like a little sister to him since she was always around at the shows. He couldn't imagine what it would be like without her around. The two headed out to Randy's rental and Dave noticed how on edge Randy was.

"You know what man, maybe I should drive. You probably aren't in the greatest state of mind right now. We can take my car."

"Yeah, you're probably right."

They got into Dave's car and started heading towards the nearest hospital to see if Danielle was there. They both remained quiet. Dave could tell that Randy was thinking about something and he didn't really want to bother him. Randy was, of course, thinking about Danielle. If anything happened to her, Randy didn't think he would ever be able to forgive himself. Randy had only known Danielle for two weeks but he was hooked already.

The fact was, that very morning when he woke up with his arms around her was shocked at first. Then he realized why his arms were around her and he pulled her even closer to him, loving the feeling of her in his arms. He didn't just love the feeling of her in his arms, he loved her. He had loved her since the first moments they had spoken to each other when she ran into him in the hallway. He would never forgive himself if the last words spoken between the two of them were the fact that she thought he didn't really care about her. He did care about her and he was afraid she would never know the way he really felt.

Ric had called the police and told them what was going on. They had agreed to start a search. They thought that having someone look at the hospitals was a good plan but they doubted she would be at one yet. They told Ric that he should look at hospitals too and let them handle searching the streets but Ric just couldn't do that. He had to find Danielle.

Ric had found Paul and explained everything to him. He was more than willing to help Ric look for Danielle because like Dave, Paul saw Danielle like a little sister. They quickly went out to Paul's car. The problem was that neither of them had any idea where to even begin. Ric hoped the police or even Randy would have better luck finding his daughter.

"Hey look man, are you okay?" Dave asked Randy.

"No, I'm not okay. The love of my life is missing and I have no idea if she is okay."

"The love of your life?" Dave questioned with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yeah, I'm…I'm in love with Danielle."

"When did this happen?"

"I don't know. It just did. From the first moment we met when I looked into her tear streaked face, she has captivated me." Randy's eyes began to well up with tears. He knew they would start falling soon and there was nothing he would be able to do to stop it.

"Wow, you've got it bad. Does she know?"

"No. I didn't even know for sure until this moment. I'm just so scared that something terrible has happened to her and I'll never be able to tell her how I really feel." He couldn't hold back any longer. The Legend Killer himself was reduced to tears for fear of losing Danielle. Yup, in Dave's words, Randy definitely had it bad.

Ric and Paul were still driving around and hadn't seen anything yet when Ric's cell phone went off. He answered it quickly hoping for news about Danielle.

"Hello" Ric said into the phone.

"Yes, is this Ric Flair?"

"Yes it is. Who is this?"

"This is the police calling with news about your daughter. She was in a car crash. A driver ran a red light and crashed into the side of her car. She was moved to the hospital downtown."

"Is she alright?"

"When she left the site she was in critical condition. I would recommend getting down there as soon as possible."

"Alright. Thank you for all your help." Ric hung up the phone. "Paul, we need to get to the hospital downtown and as soon as possible. My daughter is there and in critical condition." Paul nodded his head and stepped on the gas. Ric decided he would call Randy and Dave and let them know what was going on.

Randy and Dave were just about to enter the hospital downtown. It was the 3rd hospital they had visited and Randy was beginning to lose hope. Randy's cell phone went off and he answered it.

"Hello?" Randy said into the phone.

"Randy, this is Ric. I just got word that Danielle is in critical condition in the hospital downtown. Get there as soon as you can."

"That's the hospital we are at right now." Randy couldn't believe their luck.

"Okay, Paul and I will be there shortly. Bye."

"Alright, bye." Randy shut off his phone. "That was Ric. He said that Danielle is here and in critical condition." Dave nodded his head and they rushed inside.

Randy and Dave ran up to the receptionist counter. "Hi, we are looking for Danielle Harrison. She was brought in recently because of a car crash and we heard she was in critical condition." Randy told the receptionist.

"Are you family?" The receptionist questioned.

"No, but her father is coming and he wanted us to make sure she was okay, so can we please just see her."

"Danielle received major head trauma as a result of the crash." A doctor said coming up behind Randy and Dave. "She is no longer in critical condition but we are not sure when she will wake up."

"Can we see her?" Randy was really worried.

"You're not family, so you must be a boyfriend?"

"Not exactly but…" The doctor interrupted him.

"Its fine just one at a time. She's pretty beat up and like I said she isn't awake yet."

The doctor led Randy to Danielle's room and then he left him alone with her. Randy was shocked. The doctor had said she was pretty beat up but nothing could prepare him for what he saw. She had bandages wrapped around her head. She had scratches and black and blues everywhere. It definitely looked like she had been in a car crash.

Randy took a seat next to Danielle and just held her hand. He prayed to God that she would wake up and be okay. He just couldn't imagine his life without Danielle. For the second time that day Randy was reduced to tears sitting their hoping the love of his life would be okay and wake up.

A/N – Oh my gosh, I'm sorry if I took too long for some of you. I know I left an awful cliffhanger on the last chapter and I haven't really resolved too much of that yet. I'll try to resolve things next chapter. I wanted this chapter to be more about feelings and emotions. I meant to update sooner but I got really busy. Anyways thank you so much to all of my reviewers:

Insane Zula – Its okay to freak out sometimes. I do it on occasion too.
RKOBlueEyes – Yes there definitely is drama present. I'm sure when Danielle wakes up all will be forgiven but you never know.
RKOxLegendKiller – It was very scary and I'm sorry I had to hurt Danielle but she's okay (at the moment) so you don't have to hunt me down now, lol.
latingurl1523 – I'm glad you thought it was awesome.
shady-angel821 – Thank you for reading my story and I'm sorry that you ended up finishing on that chapter.
