Ch 69
Mark's heart was beating a mile a minute as he recovered from his skid. He looked around for the Lincoln seeing the police rushing to the river's edge shining search lights into the water. He saw a police office helping Shane out of his car.
"Lisa!" Mark ran towards the edge as two policemen grabbed him. "You don't understand my wife was in that car."
"Sir, you need to stay back we have called in a dive team and the river police are on their way to help search," the officer stared at Mark taking out his handcuffs. "I'm afraid we are going to have to take you into custody."
"I need to get to my wife. Please my wife is in that car. Let me go damn it I need to save her!" Mark was getting hysterical trying to break through the police when they overpowered him handcuffing him. He was racked with misery not hearing them read him his rights as he stared out into the dark water praying his wife was okay. He couldn't lose her not like this. He didn't hear Shane carrying on and resisting arrest as two other officers cuffed him.
"Lisa!" Mark screamed out her name as they shoved him into a police car.
"Lisa, come on open your eyes," the deep voice was very faint as Lisa tried to open her eyes. She slowly forced them open seeing Glen staring down at her. "Thank God you're alright."
"What happened? I was in the ring and everything went black then I was hit from behind by something," she looked around seeing the dark walls and smelling chemicals.
"I don't know. I was attacked by Nash and he threw me in this cleaning closest. Next thing I know he opens the door and throws you in," Glen helped her up.
"Where is Mark?" Lisa felt fear gripping her. She could feel Mark was in trouble. "We need to get out of here." Lisa started pounding on the door till Glen grabbed her hands.
"Its no use I have been trying and no one has come," Glen looked around the closest again looking for any way out.
"I have to get to Mark now," Lisa went back to banging on the door for a few minutes till she sank to her knees realizing Glen was right no one had heard them.
"Someone will come soon. I bet Mark is scouring the building looking for you along with John and Adam," Glen kneeled in front of her.
"John and Adam were locked in a room by Kevin and Paul before the match," Lisa let out a frustrated sigh. "Paul once again planned this perfectly. What do you think he did with Mark?"
"Maybe he didn't do anything maybe Mark turned the tables on him," Glen tried to give her some hope.
"Glen, I can feel it Mark is in trouble. Something is very wrong I can feel his pain," Lisa let the tears roll down her cheek.
"He will be fine," Glen wiped the tears from her cheek. "Move out I'm going to try kicking this door down again." Lisa moved out of the way while Glen hit the door over and over finally it gave way bursting open.
"Thanks Glen," Lisa hurried out realizing they were in the basement.
"This way," Glen guided her through the maze of hallways till they found a staircase leading up. They immediately heard a commotion from the locker room area.
"I'm going to find my sister right now. I'm not staying here and …." John was ranting and raving.
"What the hell is going on?" Glen asked making John and Adam turn seeing Lisa.
"Oh my God you're okay," John ran towards her picking her up.
"Of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be okay?" Lisa gave him a confused. Adam motioned for her to look at the TV where the news where showing the police searching the river for something.
"Paul raced out of here with you in his car. They are searching for the car," Adam filled her in as her heart leapt into her throat.
"Where is Mark?" Lisa softly asked.
"He went after Paul with Shane," Adam barely got the words out as Lisa ran out the door with Glen right behind her.
"Lisa stop! I'll take you to the accident scene," Glen caught up to her.
"Please hurry Glen," Lisa pleaded with him with her eyes. She needed to know what happened to Mark was he alright. Did he go into the river pursuing Paul? All the questions consumed her as they drove to the scene with Adam and John following close behind.
Vince seemed surprised to see Glen pull up. He was even more shocked when Lisa got out. He ran towards them making sure it was really her.
"You're okay. You weren't in the car," Vince was stunned as the detective on the case came over. "Detective Evans this is Lisa Callaway. The woman we thought was in the car."
"Miss, I like to ask you some questions," the detective approached her.
"Not now! I need to know where my husband is. Where is Mark Callaway?" she searched the area for him.
"He is in the squad car over there. He is under arrest," the detective pointed to the police cruiser near Mark's motorcycle.
"Under arrest for what?" Glen exclaimed as Lisa ran towards the car. Her heart ached when she saw Mark slumped over looking like his whole world had collapsed around him. She went to the window knocking on it with tears streaming down her face. He slowly looked up seeing her. He stared at her through his own tears trying to make sure she was real.
"Mark," she stuttered placing her hand on the window. "Please let my husband out for a minute." She pulled on a nearby officer. "Please I'm begging you I need to see him."
"Fine only for a moment," the officer grunted opening the door letting Mark out. Lisa wrapped her arms her husband as he let out a frustrated cry not able to hold her.
"Darling, are you okay?" Mark kissed her forehead feeling her holding on tighter to him.
"Mark, I thought I lost you. I thought you went into the river," she looked up at him with tear filled eyes.
"I thought the same about you. I believed you were in that car," Mark leaned down kissing her.
"That's it we need to take him to the station," the officer grabbed Mark's arm.
"No, he didn't do anything wrong. Why are you taking him?" Lisa refused to let Mark go.
"He caused this accident along with Mr. McMahon. You better contact a lawyer. You're husband is going to need one," the officer pushed Mark into the car as Glen held Lisa back.
"Darling, it will be okay. Glen, bring her down to the station and find me a lawyer," Mark said as the officer closed the door.
"No Glen! They can't take him. Stop them please …." She almost collapsed to her knees in tears watching as the squad car sped away with her husband in the back.
