"Damn you...open!" Bret gritted his teeth while trying to open yet another window. he had been trying for the past 20 minutes to free himself from this hell hole but to no avail. this storm was just getting worse and worse as he once again stared out through the pane glass and saw even more snow piling upon the sill. Damn how he wish he was home!

Meanwhile-

"Shawn, why did he leave? I thought he liked you?" Had the diva any clue as to the past five years between Bret and Shawn? This girl must have been living under a rock in the middle of nowhere!

"LIKED EACH OTHER! Come on, now our past hasn't exactly been a bundle of roses, ill clue you in on that much..." "Oh, ok...wanna play another game!" Why on earth was Maria so into playing games? They had to find Bret, for Christ sake!

"Play a game? I'm sorry Maria, but i am not much in the mood for yet another game." then he came up with an idea..."Hey, yea, lets do that...lets play 'Go find Bret!' who ever finds him first, wins!" Maria stopped for a moment, and for a time, Shawn couldn't help but think she was actually getting the hint for once. "Oh ...ok! Let's go then!" Shawn groaned as he realized that she hadn't, as he always should have known, nothing should be assumed obvious with the ditsy Maria...if only he could finally find a way to trick Maria into helping him find Bret...if only he knew a way how...

"I thought you said that Shawn and you were enemies?" Chavo mentioned as he parked his car on the side of the road. he had been standing there for the past five minutes, watching as Hunter, and Kurt push the back of some small truck down the road. Hunter suddenly got annoyed once again.

"Chavo...Chavo...you should freakin' know by now...that was a storyline, not real life! What is wrong with you?" "Hey, Shawn made it sound pretty convincing then, huh?" Chavo had been right; Shawn did have a way to make even the biggest fib seem believable. now if only Chavo would offer them a ride.

"I am still hungry!" Kurt whined. Wow, he was still hungry...how much food can he possibly intake?

"GOD DAMN KURT...how much food are you going to eat? First you eat at Wendy's, and now you are hungry once again...I'll be darned if I feed you...!" "But I...I,.." "Do me a favor Kurt and stop complaining for once!" "Ok..." My god...Hunter thought he would never hear the end of Kurt's impulsive complaining. Finally, Chavo opened up his car door and offered the ride Hunter and Kurt had been waiting for.

"Hey, i can tell what you have been wanting...ok get on in!" Chavo motioned as the two other men piled on in like a bunch of fifth graders after soccer practice. They left Stephanie's truck remain there on the side of the road as they drove off.

"I haven't found any sign of him! Gosh...I hope I can find him soon..." Maria picked up a cushion looking for the man. Shawn had finally found a way to trick her into helping him find Bret...who ever won this game, would get a free turn in hide and seek; hey, as long as it worked!

"Well, he couldn't have gone far...of course...that's not saying he's not going to...just keep looking, im sure he is around here somewhere..." when Shawn opened up the door to his left, he didn't see Bret, but another person who he hadn't seen within the company for years! "Steve? What on gracious earth has you in here?"

"I figured it was a nice spot to sit in...ok, im just kidding, actually that SOB Vince Kennedy McMahon told me i had to f---ing be here! So here I am, waiting on the bastard, when out of nowhere, it begins to snow...I should have seen this coming..." Steve Austin stood up and walked out of the doorway.

"So what are you sitting in here for?"

"I just got so damn pissed off, that if I didn't have somewhere dark to hide, I would have lost it..." Steve shrugged his shoulders at his long former tag team partner. Then Maria had to come in and disturb the silence.

"WOW! STEVE AUSTIN!" she grabbed her portable microphone once again. "SO HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF SHAWN MICHAELS?" Steve exchanged awkward glances with the icon as Maria stood there, smile on her face and a mic in hand. Shawn then realized, this was the second time she had asked this question.

"Uh...Steve, you know her, don't you?" "Of course I do...why you're the ditsy interviewer...what the hell do you want?"

"oh I, I just want to know what you think of Shawn Michaels..." Steve stood there for a moment trying not to smile at the poor girl...was she in for a shock of a response.

"Well, I am going to tell ya now...I could care less! here I am, all I want to do is go home, and here u are, asking me some dumb ass questions...how about you do me a favor and carry your carcass right on out of here...and take your little mic with ya!"

"Uh...Steve," Shawn interrupted, "she can't go anywhere, she is stuck in here like the rest of us...and she is only trying to save her job..." "Oh...damn that Vince! I swear when I get out of here, i am going to give him the biggest stunner the world has ever seen! Everyone who is for that, give me a hell ya!" he stood in silence as the other two just stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Where is Bret? I need to find him...remember, I want to win this game..."

"Ok ...Steve, just to fill you in, we are not the only ones in here...Bret Hart is in here as well..."
Steve nearly lost his lunch when he heard the name come out of Shawn's mouth...BRET HART! Someone please tell him Shawn was joking. But he wasn't, so Steve followed the two others as they struggled to find the sore loser of Hide and go Seek...
