Chapter 8

"Where is she? Aubrey! Where are you?" Elle yelled down the corridor.

Aubrey walked down the hallway fast and heard her name being called. She stopped and turned around. She couldn't see either of her friends behind so she decided to continue down the hallway. All of a sudden, she saw two pairs of hands with black gloves on them come out of one of the doors and pull her in. She struggled, and tried to free herself but as she turned around and a cloth was put over her mouth she started to feel dizzy and fell into someone's arms.

"Aub?" Nat and Elle saw Aubrey being pulled into the closet and ran after her, entering the closet with out thinking. There on the floor was Aubrey, passed out. Before they could think about everything that was happening, moist cloths were put over the two girls' mouths, and soon, there were three passed out girls on the closet floor.

"Ok, let's get moving," one of the gloved men said, lifting up on of the girls.

"Ok boss."

…

Randy walked into his private locker room and saw it was trashed. On the wall in big bold letters in spray paint it said 'I have'.

He was confused. Suddenly, John burst through the door, into Randy's room and saw what happened.

"Oh my God, dude, the same thing happened to me, except on the wall it said 'Aubrey, Elle, and Natalie'. You don't think it means what I think it could mean, do you?"

"I have, Aubrey, Elle and Natalie," Randy said out loud, putting them together.

Jeff walked into the room with Matt.

"Guys, you're not going to believe what -oh my God, the same thing happened to my room except it said 'Come get them'," Jeff said slowly.

"I have Aubrey, Elle and Natalie, Come get them," John said, putting everything together

"SHIT!" Randy yelled.

"What are we going to do?" Jeff asked worryingly.

"I have no idea," John replied looking around the room. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Randy walked over and opened the door and saw something on the floor across the hall. He walked over and picked it up. It was a tape. He walked back inside the room and showed it to the guys.

"This was outside the door," Randy said, inspecting the tape.

"Put it in," John said slowly. They were all worried about their girlfriends.

The tape played and it showed the numbers 2348 and then the word Austin. It then showed a capital N. and Ave. The tape went a bit statically before jumping to one of the worst possible sites the guys could have seen. It showed Aubrey, Elle and Natalie all tied up and in chairs. Elle somehow got the cloth off her face.

"BRIAN YOU JERK I SWEAR ONCE I GET OUT OF THIS DAMN CHAIR I WILL PERSONALLY RIP YOUR HEAD OFF! AND IF I DON'T, RANDY SURE AS HELL WILL" She yelled before someone slapping her in the face. A guy appeared on the screen.

"If he cares enough to come and rescue you that is, which he doesn't," He hissed at her.

He walked over to and stood behind a scared and crying Aubrey and pulled the cloth off her face.

"Say it," Brian commanded, slapped her hard. She sniffled and opened her mouth to speak.

"John...um... John, Brian said that when you come to get me, if you come to get me, that you have to bring $500,000 dollars with you," She said in tears. Brian was about to put the cloth back on her but she bit his hand.

"Don't do it John, we can take care of ourselves! Please don't risk it! I love-" She said but before she could finish Brian punched her hard, knocking her out instantly, before putting the cloth over her mouth again.

The tape then stopped. Randy and John had tears running down his face. The only difference between the two blokes was that Randy had a small smile on his face, formed when Elle had mentioned him in her threat.

"I think I know where they are," Jeff said putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "Now, I think it's pretty safe to say that those numbers and the address leads to where they are; it might not be; but if it is then they are at 2348 N. Austin Ave," Jeff said standing up. "And I don't know about you, but I'm taking my chances."

"Let's go," Randy said.

"Wait," John walked over to a closet and pulled out a metal pole. He gave Jeff a baseball bat and Randy had a sledge hammer. "Now we can go," John smirked.

They all walked out to John's car and got in. They drove off to the place Jeff said and discovered that it was a huge old factory. They got out of the car and walked to the door slowly. They opened it and walked in carefully. They looked around and saw TVs everywhere. Randy turned one on and Elle was on it. She was in a room all alone and on the wall it was written: 'If you can find her you can have her'

Randy went to the next TV and it said the same thing. He turned them all on and they all had Elle on them.

"Looks like we're getting Elle first," John said.

"Come on," Randy said, running into the first door. The wrestlers were a bit shocked when they saw that the floor had poles coming out of it.

"What the hell, are we in a horror movie or something?" John asked moving slowly around the poles with Randy and Jeff close behind.

"I'm calling back up," Jeff said pulling out his phone.

He dialed Matt's number and told him everything.

"Ok, I'm going to keep on moving, you coming John?" Randy asked, swerving between the poles.

"Ok, you fine here Jeff?"

"Yeah, I'll wait here," Jeff replied.

"Ok," John said, walking through the poles.

About 30minutes later Matt walked through the door with Mark (Taker) and Glenn (Kane).

"I brought back up," Matt said with a small smile.

"Okay, I think we should split up to cover more ground," Mark suggested.

"Um, ok, how about this, Matt and Mark go through that door, Glenn and I can go through that one; Randy and John have already gone, I think they went that way. If you find any of the girls, take them with you! No matter what do NOT leave them behind," Jeff commanded.

"Got it," Mark said and pulled out a hand gun.

"A gun?" Matt asked

"Yeah, I have a license for it and don't worry, I'll only shoot if someone touches me or the girls." Mark said with a smile.

Everyone went separate ways.

…

Randy and John continued around the poles. They finally got to the other side of the room and went through the only door there. They walked into a room that was bright green.

"Gross," Randy said, looking at the color scheme.

John looked around and saw a small door that was bright green so no one would see it. He walked over to it and had to break it open. A small body fell out that was tied up and crying.

John picked her up and pulled the cloth off of Aubrey's face and untied her. Once she was untied she jumped into his arms crying.

"Oh my god," She whispered in tears. "Thank you," She whispered kissing his neck. She was really shaky. She pulled away from the hug and looked into his eyes. "I love you," She whispered touching his face gently.

"I love you too," He said and kissed her lightly. She hugged him again and stood on her own two feet. She smiled and ran into Randy's arms, giving him a hug.

"Thank you, now lets go, we have to go find Elle and Nat," She said dragging them towards a door on the other side of the room.

She led them out the door and across a white room. She saw a TV and turned it on. It showed Elle on the floor of a room crying.

"I know where that room is," Aubrey whispered and ran out the door. John and Randy followed her without question. She ran through about 5 different rooms and then stopped when she heard a gun shot.

"What the?"John whispered and ran towards the shot. They ran through two more rooms avoiding any danger and saw Matt cradling Natalie in his arms and Mark holding his head.

They looked up and Natalie stood and charged for Aubrey. They hugged and cried and then Aubrey hugged Matt and Mark.

"Are you guys okay?" She asked.

"Yeah," Matt replied.

"We heard a gun shot, who shot who?" John asked grabbing Aubrey's hand which was shaking like crazy. She smiled a little at her boyfriend.

"I shot some guy that was about to hit Natalie with a metal pole," Mark said. Natalie ran into his arm and hugged him. She kissed his cheek lightly and he smiled at her.

"Good job, now there's one left, but don't expect to find her. It won't be that easy to get my beloved Elle," they heard from a speaker on the wall.

"Come on," Aubrey said running out the door. She went down a flight of stairs and up another. Everyone followed her. One they way we ran into Jeff and Glenn.

"Shit, you guys scared the crap out of me," John said moving out of the way to reveal Aubrey and Natalie. Jeff hugged them both and so did Glenn. They smiled a little and continued their search for Elle.

…

They had been walking for what felt like 4 hours and still couldn't find her.

"Aubrey, I thought you said you knew where the room was," Randy said, fearing what Brian was doing to her.

"I do, and we're getting there. This place is bigger than I thought it was originally," Aubrey said in a whisper.

"It should be up those stairs," Aubrey said pointing to a huge flight of stairs.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," Randy said beginning to run up the stairs. Everyone followed close behind. They weren't even halfway up and they were tired. They continued though. Just as they were almost to the top Aubrey stopped to wait for everyone else. What she didn't realize, was that someone that was underneath the stairs. They pulled out a knife and cut her right above her ankle, it was a really deep cut too. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. John quickly rushed up the stairs and bent down next to her and saw her ankle.

"Crap," He whispered and he was about to pick her up but Jeff yelled for him to duck. He did what he was told and just as he did he saw something large go over his head. Jeff pulled out a metal pole and hit the man behind John. He fell to the ground and Jeff hit him until he was sure he was out cold. Then he pushed him down the stairs.

John looked at Aubrey's ankle again and pulled his shirt off and he put pressure on the cut with it. He tied it on tightly and helped her stand. She had tears running down her face and John wiped them away slowly. She smiled a little and limped up the stairs with him. John saw this and picked her up carefully. She winced in pain but then smiled at John.

"You really don't have to carry me, I can walk the rest of the way," She said looking up the stairs.

"It's alright, you're like nothing compared to what I usually pick up," John said. "It's a pleasant change."

"But we're walking upstairs. A lot of stairs, just put me down, I'll walk," She said in a whisper. He sighed and put her down. She kissed his cheek softly and limped up the stairs.

John smiled at her a little and followed close behind. They finally got to the top and were all tired. They saw about 5 doors.

"Okay I'm not sure which one it is but its one of these, we should split up," Aubrey said.

"Okay, good idea, Randy, you can go to that one, Aubrey and John go to that one, Mark go there, Glenn go there, and the rest go to that one," Jeff said pointing to the doors.

"Okay," Aubrey said and walked with John to their door. Matt walked up to them.

Everyone was out of their rooms in no time, no one had found anyone.

"Anything?" Randy asked hopefully, even though he knew their answer and they shook their heads sadly.

"Okay, let's just go back down and search some more," Randy said, not giving up hope.

"No, wait. Shh, listen," Aubrey said in a whisper.

They didn't hear anything.

"I don't hear any-" Randy started.

"Shh!" Aubrey said closing her eyes. She listened closely. She heard what sounded like wind. It wasn't though, it was breathing.

She followed the sound. John was getting worried now. She was walking away with her eyes closed.

"Aubrey-" John started.

"John, shh, I can hear breathing," She said with her eyes still closed.

Aubrey walked down the hall a little and felt something on the floor. She opened her eyes and looked down and saw a crack on the floor. She got down on the floor and listened. She heard the breathing again. She stood and pulled on the crack of the floor. It was a trap door, revealing a room below. In the room saw Elle, but much to her horror, she wasn't alone.
