Chapter 3
Part 1
Missing since Monday
It had been 24 hours since Stephanie's disapperance, and now everybody was starting to freak out.
Vince and Linda, had flown in from their 3rd home in Hawaii, along with Shane, and a ton of Stephanie's family, and friends.
Hunter had blamed himself for the whole thing. He kept saying that if he hadn't let Stephanie go, out that night alone, none of this would have happened.
There were posters with Stephanie's face on them saying, 'Have you Seen Me?' and a reward.
The police swarmed The Helmsley Mansion, looking for clues, but it started to get bleak.
"In other news, Greenwich State Police, need your help in the search, of the celebrity dissaperance, of WWF superstar, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, the adorable, loving, wife, and her unborn child were reported missing yesterday, after she reportedly went to the librbary to talk to a friend, and never returned back. Stephanie is 5'7, and weighs, 129, lbs, and dark hair, blue eyes, and answers to the name of Steph, Stephy, or Stephanie. If you have any information, please contact Greenwich State Police, if you have further information." The news reporter sadly reported, as Stephanie's picture showed up on the TV screen.
Hunter turned off the TV.
"Look, I know my little girl, and she's strong." Vince said, laying a hand on Hunter's shoulder.
Hunter just stared ahead staright ahead.
"This is my fault." He said. "If I had been more protective of her none of this would have ever happened." Hunter said.
"No, Hunter don't say that, Stephanie will come home, everything will be ok, I know it will." Tori said.
"What if it doesn't!" Hunter yelled.
Tori started to cry, Linda McMahon did too.
How could this happen who would do something cruel? Little did they know the colprate, was right under their noses.
"What if someone took her..." Hunter started his voice quivering.
"Don't say that...Stephanie is coming home to you I know it." Roaddogg said.
"Dogg's right, you just can't think negative, man." Billy said.
Just then the police came into the room, where everybody was.
"Alright, Hunter, we haven't found any leads, but we're hoping that in a few minutes, when we search the back woods, next to the library, we'll find a clue." The police officer said.
"Well, I'm going with you." Hunter stood up.
"Me too." said Vince, and Shane at the same time.
"That's a great idea, we'll all go...hey hun, why don't you stay here with Linda, in case something happens here." Sean said, as he and Roaddog, and Billy got up and walked with Hunter to the door.
"That's fine." Tori said as she sat down with Linda.
"Ok, good, good, the more people the better, we leave out in 5 minutes." The police officer said.
Hunter pulled on a leather jacket, as he and the guys left the houses in search for Stephanie.
Linda and Tori sat togtether on the couch and cried.
Part Two
The Ring
Hunter, Vince, Shane, Roaddogg, Billy, and X-pac searched far and wide, with the search party, around the woods.
They carried flashlights, with them, to see if they could find anything, but they couldn't.
"Steph!" Hunter yelled.
"Stephanie!" "Stephanie McMahon-Helsmley!" the searchers, and Dx yelled.
"Steph, where are you!" Shane yelled.
The wood, was scarey at nigh, as they walked through abandonded areas, where they thought they would find a trace of Stephanie.
It was looking like no hope, no one could find anything, and it started to rain.
"Hunter, man, do you just want to came back tomorrow morning, and look then, it's coming down." one of the police officer's said.
"Go home? Go home? My wife is out there, and you just want me to go home, who the hell do you think you are, you yhink just because there's a little rain, you need to stop!" Hunter yelled.
"Now, I'm going to stay there, untill, Ifind my wife, you do whaterver the hell you want to!" Hunter said.
They looked all around the woods, and realized they were walking in a big circle, that is until...
Stephanie laid on the floor of the man's house, in the same position she had been laying in since Monday, when she was abducted. She lifted up her, hand to see if she could feel it.
The one thing, that always gave her strength, no matter what she was facing, her wedding ring, but ahs she searched her hand for it, she realized, that is was gone.
She cried.
She had cried all night, untill.
She felt a man, pull her up from the ground, and pull the tape off of her, eyes, and body.
"Please don't hurt me." Stephanie said now that she could see the man.
"I'm not going to hurt, you." he said.
"What?" Stephanie questiond, as she crawled over to the man.
"Look, I know you know her, your friend...Trish Startus...she made me do this." he said, as he got up and sat on the couch.
"What? Why?" Stephanie said tears slipping down her face.
"Because I owe her money, $18.000, to be exact, she said that if I killed you...I could pay off my debt." the man said.
Stephanie silently cried, as she listened to the man's story.
"She said something, about, you killed her partner who was going to help, 'Get her Man' I didn't know what she was talking about...but I needed to pay off this debt, so I did it." The man said breaking down in a cry.
"I'm so sorry, I needed money for drugs, and she gave it to me, but now it's all gone, and I have to pay her back." he cried.
Stephanie now felt she had an advantage over the man, but she didn't quite know.
Maybe she could talk to him, figure out what he;s about, then run when the chance cmes.
"You didn't kill me", she spoke up.
"I couldn't do it, no matter how hard I try, I'm not a murderer." He sobbed.
"Thank you, God, you don't even knowm how much I thank you for that...you know, I'm pregnant, with a little baby, you would have killed my baby too, but you didn't thank you." Sephanie said.
"I'm sorry, for what I did." The man said. Stephanie could tell by looking at his eyes, that the man was slow, and niaveve.
Maybe she could fool him, into letting her go, but would he afall for that?
"Then you have to let me go." Stephanie said.
"NO!" he yelled. "You'll just tell on me, and I'll go to jail, I'm not going to let that happen." The man screamed between sobs.
"The longer you keep me here, the longer your puinishment will be." Stephanie said.
" And any ways I would never do that...look if you work with me, I'll work with you." Stephanie said.
"You're a nice woman...you know I watch you on Raw and Smackdowns, all the time...I can't beleive I did this to you, You're such a nice lady." the man said.
Stephanie then proceded to listen to his life story, laugh at his jokes, and tell him about her self, to gain trust of the hit man, untill the right moment, that she had to pick, to flee.
"I'm sorry I did this to you." The man said cring more.
Then he took off his ski mask.
He had dark black hair, and dark brown eyes, and thin, tight, lips.
He talked to Stephanie a little more, and then after about an hour or so, he said:
"Look, you can go on in the kitchen if you're hungry"
"Thank you." she said, and got up, and went inside the kitchen.
Then she found it, the key to getting her out of that dump.
A cell Phone.
But the hit man was in the other room, how was she supposed to be call, anyone, without him hearing her?
Then she got an idea.
All cell phones had, this, so this one had to be no different.
Stephanie went to menu, and turned to the sound off and then made her move.
Would it work?...
Back at the Serch Party, Hunter picked up a shiny object, he found in the thick dirt, of the wet forsest groud.
He held it up, and low and behold, it was a white gold, with a huge diamond, but it wasn't just any old, ring, it was Stephanie'ss engangment ring!
"Oh my God." Hunter said as he looked at the ring, holding it up to his face.
he looked at the inscription: 'SMH&HHH', he knew it was the same one that he had given Stephanie.
"Hey, guys, look at this!" Hunter yelled to the search party.
"What's up, Hunter, did you find anything?"They all asked, coming over to Triple H.
"She was here!" he said.
That's her ring, the one I gave her...she' was here!" Hunter yelled.
"Wait how do you know it was her ring?" asked Vince as he rushed over, to Hunter.
"Because, look at the inscrpition!" Hunter said holding u the back of the ring.
"HHH&SMH" read Vince.
"Oh, my God, it is her ring." Roaddogg said.
"So what was it doing, all the way out here?" Shane asked.
"I have no idea, that's what we have to figure out...Mr.Helmsley, If I could please have the ring, we will test it, ad see if there is anyother DNA on it besides you wife's." The police officer said, as he put the ring in a plastic bottle.
"Good." Hunter said feeling a bit releived.
"Now, we've found a clue, it's past 1 am, I want you all to go home and get rested for tomorrow, we have a press conference, to speak about Stephanie, hopefully we can get as much help from fans, around the country as possible." Said the officer.
Hunter held up the ring, and smiled.
"Umm, actually, I think that I am going to go and visit a friend." Hunter said.
"Do you want us to come with you?" Roaddogg and Billy Gunn said.
"Uhhh, no, you guys go on, and go, home, and rest, I'll meet you at the press conferacne tommorrow morning." Hunter said still not taking his eyes, off of them, as they left the woods.
So Triple H got into his car and drove to his frinds house, a friend, that would hopefully his friend, would have some information.
Connecticut Police Department "Hello 911 what is your Emergency?" The emergency dispatcher asked.
Stephanie was on the other line.
Her hands were trembling, and her body shook, in fear that the man would hear her, in the next room.
"Hello, my name is Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, and I've been kidnapped." Stephanie whispered, tring to make her voice barely audiable.
"Oh, God, Stephanie, we've been looking for you, where are you, give me the exact address." The emergency woman said excited.
"Oh, I don't-" but she was cut off.
"What the hell are you doing!" the man screamed.
"HUH!what are you doing, STEPH!" he yelled. "I ought, to just shoot you in the head right now!" he yelled, as he grabbed the cell phone, and again, slung it across the room.
"Let's go!" he yelled.
"What!" Stephanie said.
"I said, let's go, we're just no going to stay here and let these police track the call!" The man yelled.
"NO!" Stephanie said, as she stared into the eyes, of the vicious man, they were cold, and black again, she refused, to leave with him, tring to buy enough time for the police to track the call...it was like in a matter of seconds, he had just snapped. Snapped, into some crazy trance.
"You little bitch!" he yelled, as he ran over to her, and slammed her head on the wall.
"Ohh." stephanie moaned, as she was knocked unconsiontious, for another time.
The man grabbed, Stephanie's limp body, and drug her to his car and took off.
They drove for a long time, and like it was planned, they had drove up to another house, clearly a hide away house it was so far away from civlization.
The Police, had indeed tracked the call,... "Police officals had serched the whole part of that back area, but unfortunetly, could not find, a trace, of the beautiful Stephanie McMahon-Helsmley, this has clearly been a very sad day on the search Stephanie, more on this story as it developes, this was Heather Green, reporting for your breaking new." The reporter said. She had just explained the whole story about the phone call, to 991, emergency.
Linda Mcmhaon shut off the TV, back where she was sitting with Tori. She bowed her head and cried.
"Linda, don't cry, come." Tor said, with tears, in her eyes also, they hugged.
Linda had never had aperfect relationship, with her daughter...and now she could never see her again.
Hunter had finaly pulled up in the drive way, of the friends's house.
Her name was Seleste...and she was a physic!
Hunter knocked on the door, of the old woman's house.
She came to the door. "Oh, darling, come in, come in." she said, opening the door for Hunter.
"What seems, to be bothering, you, today Hunter?" she asked, as she invited Hunter to sit on her couch.
"It's Steph, she's ..." Hunter started, "Mising." Seleste finished. Hunter looked up at the wise old woman's face. "You read, my mind?" he timidly asked.
"No, darling it's been all over the news." Seleste said.
"Oh...Seleste, I don't know what to do, if I don't have Steph, and I was hoping that you could please, PLEASE, help me find her, you knowm like give me a clue, to go on, anything, please...I just need to know that she's alive." Hunter begged.
"Ok...Ok, darling, calm down, do you have something of your wife's that I could see." Seleste asked Hunter, as she sat down in front of him, at a table, with a whole bunch of cards.
"Uh...yeah, I have this." Hunter said handind her the ring, that Stephanie wore, minutes, before being abuducted.
Seleste took the ring in her hand. "Ohh, yes, OK, alright...I'm geeting an image...yes, yes..Hunter your wife is alive." Seleste confirmed.
"Thank God." Hunter said laying a hand on his heart.
"Now, let's see, a clue about her kidnapping...yes...ok, " Seleste was saying as she picked up the deck of cards, and shuffled them. "Oh yes, ...I see alot of woods, I see no civializtion, I see man, he's not a very bright man, and he's high." Seleste said.
"I can feel, the pain she's in now, I can feel it...I don't think that's she's contious..." Seleste said with her eyes closed.
"What do you mean she's not contious!" Hunter shrieked.
"Calm down...take my hand..." Seleste said, as Hunter held her hand.
"I see the numbers, 25, 32, and I see...I can feel that's she's in like a shanty home, it's very small, they have not been there for very long." Seleste said...then she stopped.
Seleste looked up at Hunter with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry, hunter, I lost it." She said.
Hunter looked the other way.
"So, you don't know where she is?" Hunter asked.
"I'm sorry," Seleste said with a tear on her eye. "Well, thanks for helping, Seleste." Hunter said.
"Here." Hunter said as he stood, up to give the old woman a $100 dollar bill.
"No you keep, honey, you don't know what you might need it for." Seleste said as she closed heis hand.
"Well, i had better head back, I have to go to a press conferance, for Stephanie tomorrow morning."Hunter said, grabbing his jacket.
"Oh, and Hunter." Seleste called after him.
"Yeah"
"You'll find her"
"Did your cards, tell you that?" Hunter asked concerened.
"No, darling, not the cards...that's just something that I can feel, have faith." Seleste said, as she watched Hunter nod, and then head out the door.

Part 3 '
The Press Conferance'
"We're here live, from, Titan Towers, as Hunter Hearst Helmely AKA Triple H, speakes out on his wife's behalf." The reporter said. The auditorium, grew silent, as all their eyes, fell on Hunter.
He was wearing, a light gray suite, and his hair was tied back in a ponytail. Standing behind him, was Linda, Vince, and Shane. "Hello, people... fans around the world, kids, my name is Hunter Helmsley omost of you know me as Triple H...and up untill about 3 or 4 months ago, my life was perfect. I had everything, that I could have ever asked for. I had the title, I had Dx, and I had my wife. My wife, was the most important thing in the world, to me, she was, my life, my soul, and my true love. I never, thought, that what happened to me, would ever happen. Well, you see, my wife, she had a friend, and we're just going to call him Bert. You see old Bert, he um, he really liked my wife, and I fought with Bert, all the time, untill it got so far that we had to kill him, out of self defence, because he had came to our house with a 6 inch blade. I thought that when he died, that everything, would go back to normal, but it didn't. So a coupel of weeks later, we found out that she was pregnant, and we we're both so excited about the baby, that we didn't even think that any thing else bad could happen to us...but it did. My wife, went up miising, no longer than a week later. I was devastated, because that it was my fault. That I let her go. So not only was her my wife, Stephanie, in danger, my baby's lie was in danger. So I ask you please, don't think it can't happen to you, because it can, and I just want to say, to whoever has got her, holding her against her will, please let her go, she means everything to me." Hunter then stopped, and covered his eyes, for a second, stopping the tears, from falling. " And, I want to say, To my wife, Stephanie, I love, you, and I will always love, you and our baby, and I will rescue you, and I will never give up on you, and we will come for you." Hunter said. The auditorium was filled with quietness, as if someone could have dropped a pin, and it would have been heard.
As Hunter stepped back, everyone, in the aditorium, stood, up and clapped. They gave Hunter a standing ovation.
Most of the women were cring, some men were too.
Linda, had totaly broken up, behind Hunter.
Tori did also, behind the curtain, as X-pac, held her tightly in his arms.
"You've seen, it first folks, the plee, from Hunter Helmsley, and Vince Mcmahon, from the request from their wife & daughter, the reward, is now up to $1 million, if you have any information about Stephanie, and her unborn child, please, call crime stoppers, at 1800-steph, a special hotline has been set up for her. Again the search for Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is still on, this is Heather Green, reporting from Titan Towers, for News Channel 4."
