A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short but I'm setting up for something major...you'll understand once you read this. Please review and let me know what you think!

Nessa and Joe stood in the back, watching on a monitor as Sting read facts about Joe. Every time he read one Joe grumbled causing Nessa to giggle. "I'll never understand why he had to do it this way." Joe growled.

"It's funny though...I mean, I'm learning things about you I didn't know before."

"Currently ladies and gentlemen he's the undefeated Samoan submission machine!" Sting yelled, pointing to the entrance ramp.

"That's our cue." Joe's music started up, he took Nessa's hand and the two of them walked out the tunnel much to Jarrett and Steiner's shock. He stopped long enough at the top of the ramp to kiss her and wrap his towel around her neck then they made their way to the ring where Sting was waiting for them. Nessa stood outside the ring while Joe paraded around the ring, challenging Jarrett or Steiner to get back in. Once she was sure that they wouldn't Nessa hopped in the ring, grabbed both Joe and Sting's hands and raised them in the air. Joe and Sting bumped knuckles then he and Nessa made their way to the back.

"Well, I had better get going."

"You going home?" Joe asked and Nessa nodded.

"I really don't have any other plans...with Brandon being pissed at me and all." She said, sighing.

"I'm truly sorry about that Ness, you know that I would never do anything to hurt you." The minute he said those words he wished he could take them back after he saw the pain flash in her eyes.

"You never would huh?" Nessa snapped, bitterly and Joe flinched.

"Okay I deserved that...do you think we could go somewhere and talk?"

"Joe I don't think that's such a good idea, at least not tonight. I just want to go home and curl up in bed with a good book to forget about everything that's happened tonight." She stated and he nodded.

"I understand. If you need anything you know how to reach me." Nessa smiled, kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the building.

As she was walking to her truck Nessa could've swore she heard someone following her but she chose to ignore it at first. The footsteps were coming closer so she picked up speed only to be grabbed around the waist by two strong arms.

"You should have never tried to deceive me." A voice hissed in her ear that she immediately recognized. Before Nessa could call out for help the person covered her mouth with one hand, panicking Nessa did the only thing she knew to do...she bit down hard on the person's hand. "Ahh! You little bitch!" The person yelled, pulling away quickly.

Nessa turned around to face her attacker, scowling. "You! How could you do something like this?"

"I told you that you should have never tried to deceive me." Not allowing her to say another word the person punched her squarely in the jaw, knocking her to the ground. Nessa looked up shocked, not believing that they had just actually hit her. "Don't look so shocked...you knew you had this coming." She slowly tried to get up but before she had the chance to they gave her a very stiff kick to the head knocking her out cold.

"I'm telling you Chris...if I ever get a hold of Silvestry I'm gonna kick his teeth down his throat for putting his hands on Nessa." Allen growled as he and Chris Daniels walked through the parking lot.

"I know how you...oh god please tell me that's not who I think it is." Chris gasped, looking in the direction of a small figure lying unmoving on the pavement.

"Oh hell, I think it is!" The two of them ran over to the figure, kneeling down beside who they soon discovered was Nessa. "Nessa, honey wake up." Allen called out to her but she didn't move. "Shit man something's really wrong."

"You get her in my car...I'm calling Joe." Chris instructed Allen who nodded and gently lifted Nessa up in his arms. Chris pulled out his cell phone and dialed Joe's number, dreading the call.

"Hello?"

"Joe? It's Daniels...you need to meet us at Orlando Regional Medical Center."

"What? Why?" Joe asked, confused.

"It's Nessa. Allen and I were on our way out and we found her lying unconscious in the parking lot."

"I'll meet you guys there." Joe growled and hung up the phone before Chris could say anything else and he sighed.

"He coming?" Allen questioned when Chris got in the car.

"Yeah and I feel sorry for whoever did this if he gets a hold of them." He said and drove towards the hospital.
