A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. It took me a little while to come up with some ideas for this chapter. I hope everyone enjoys it!
Disclaimer: See chapter one.
Summary: After Vince sends all three brands to the chocolate capital of the US for a show, Hunter has to form a surveillance team to keep Shawn from getting any form of chocolate that could cause him to get sugar high and cause more trouble than even DX could imagine. Will the game succeed or will the crafty showstopper outsmart him?
The animal and the deadman were locked in an intense staredown with the heartbreak kid and the rainbow haired warrior. Dave and Mark refused to budge from their post in front of the main doors of the hotel. This meant Shawn couldn't leave, which was pissing him off to no end.
"Why won't you let me leave?!" Shawn asked angrily.
"Because we don't need you on a chocolate high at the show tomorrow and giving everyone else hell!" Dave shouted back.
Shawn growled and him and the glaring contest resumed, at least until Shawn decided to try another tactic. "This isn't fair! I promise you if you let us go I won't go near the chocolate factory." Shawn finished his plea with a pout and puppy dog eyes to which Dave and Mark just stared blankly at. 'Why isn't it working? No one can resist my pout!'
This time Mark spoke, "First of all Shawn, we're immune to all your tricks. Why else would Hunter leave us to guard the lobby! Besides people don't call us the deadman and the animal for nothing."
"Now Hunter told us to keep to keep you here by any means necessary. Which includes the option to tombstone, spear, or sit on you. I'm going with the last one, so prepare for payback Shawn!" Dave shouted as he began to advance on the smaller man.
Shawn began to slowly back away from the animal, but the look of nervousness on his face was quickly replaced by a smirk as he saw the doors open. "Well you two might have no problem keeping us here, but..." Shawn took this moment and began pointing at the two figures in the doorway. "but these two behind you might have a problem with it."
Both Mark and Dave had been so focused on capturing Shawn they hadn't been paying attention to if anyone else was helping him. They turned toward the door and froze in shock as Shawn's two newest minions revealed themselves.
"Glen!"
"Rey!"
"What the hell are you two doing?!" They both shouted.
Rey and Glen stood in the doorway of the hotel. "We're working with Shawn. What else would we be doing in a hotel lobby with them!"
The 'them' Rey had gestured to were the unconscious forms of Randy and John draped across Glen's shoulders. Glen smirked,"Someone should really tell these two not to hang around parking lots in the middle of the night. Who knows what kind of weirdos are out there!"
Shawn grinned and bounced over to his two minions. "Thanks a lot you guys! I promise you won't regret this. Let's go Jeff!" Shawn and his second in command ran out the door, leaving a very pissed off animal and deadman in the lobby.
Mark and Dave stared at each other. Hunter had said unless it was necessary forget his minions and go after Shawn, but with these two they had no other choice but to get rid of his minions.
Glen had set John and Randy on the floor when he heard Mark ask, "So what'd he promise you?"
Glen grinned one of his trademark sadistic grins. "Promised me a state of the art flamethrower. Great for grilling people and burgers!
Shawn laughed all the way to the car. He had put almost all of Hunter's team out of commission. Hunter was still laid out on the floor of his room, Adam and Matt were still on the roof somewhere, Randy and John were knocked out, and Mark and Dave were occupied. With odds like that there's no way his plan wouldn't work now.
"Shawn! Shawn! Pay attention!" Jeff shouted at his boss.
Shawn snapped out of his dream about the wonderful land of chocolate at Jeff's shouting. "What is it?!"
Jeff pointed to the parking lot of a restaurant across the street from the hotel where there was a black SUV facing in their direction. "Doesn't that car look familiar to you?"
Shawn squinted to see the car, but immediately recognized Hunter's customized plates and shook his head. 'He's the only person I know that when ever he rents a car that puts a set of plates with DX written on them in green spray paint on the car, but wait a minute I just saw Hunter's car a few rows back . If that was his than whose car is that?' "Hey Jeff tell me who was on Hunter's team again."
Jeff nodded and shoved another handful of skittles in his mouth. "It's me, Matty, John, Randy, Dave, Mark, Adam, Chris, and Hunter."
"So Chris must be in that car! Ha! Hunter isn't as smart as he thinks he is. Hey Jeff think you can out race Chris?"
"Of course I can boss! I'll have you there in 10 minutes flat!"
Shawn patted him on the shoulder before hopping into the passenger side. "I'll hold you to that Jeff. Now let's go!"
Jeff jumped into the driver's seat and revved up the engine, smoke shot from the tires as he sped off into the empty street with the SUV right behind him.
Chris glanced at his watch one more time before he hit engine. The twenty minutes were up and no one had come out. "I guess somebody must have caught him." he said to himself. As he went to pull off he saw someone run out the hotel. "What the hell..." He grabbed his set of binoculars off the see looked through them.
In the parking lot he saw Shawn and Jeff racing towards his rental car. Jeff hoped in the driver's eat which Chris knew from experience was a sign that Shawn was getting desperate. When he saw the car preparing to pull off he quickly radioed Hunter. "Hunter! Hunter! We have a big problem!"
"Hunter here. What the hell is wrong?"
"I don't know how, but Shawn's out of the hotel."
"What?! How did that happen?"
"I don't know. The only other people I've seen go in there are Glen and Rey."
"Shit! They must be working with him too. Look follow him, make sure he doesn't catch on. We'll catch up to you as soon as possible."
"All right, but be careful. If he got pass Dave and Taker then something big must have happened.
"I know. Hunter out."
Chris put the radio down and began watching the car again. He saw the headlights and heard the engine roaring even from his place in the parking lot. When the car sped out of the parking lot, Chris sped off after it, doing everything he possibly could to keep up.
"This mission better put Shawn's chocolate habit out of commission. I don't think I could go through this again!"
In the lobby Dave continued to stare in shock at Rey. If Adam was down there he probably would have taken more pictures seeing that no one had ever seen the animal that speechless before.
"How could you do this to me man!" He shouted. "We're supposed to be like brothers. What could he have possibly promised you to make you work with him?"
A flash of guilt crossed Rey's face at his friend's words, but then it quickly disappeared because it was only a flash. "He promised me all rights to the 619 area code, so I could be the only one to use it."
"How could he possibly give you the entire 619?"
"The same way he got that vat of mustard to dunk Matt in, the skittles for Jeff, the flamethrower for Glen, and the lifetime supply of Pepsi for Punk."
Dave still couldn't believe Rey would fall for something like that, "Do you honestly think that Shawn can get you your own area code?"
Rey shrugged, "What can I say. The showstopper does deliver. Now Dave I don't want to hurt you, so why don't you just go back to your room and relax the rest of the night. Just leave Shawn to us."
Without thinking Dave chuckled and said, "Sorry little man, I'm not gonna stop even for you. If I have to chase Shawn on foot I'm going to make sure that he doesn't make it to the factory."
Everyone in the lobby got silent. Rey's eyes had turned cold and his usually smiling face had a scowl attached to it. Everyone knew how angry Rey could get when someone talked about his height and Dave just had to go and set him off. Rey exploded. "WHO YOU CALLIN SO SMALL I NEED AN ELEVATOR TO CLIMB OVER A SPEED BUMP!"
Dave started to move slowly away from his friend, "Now Rey...that isn't what I said. Calm down man."
"Calm down? Calm Down!" Rey charged at his friend firing a barrage of kicks to Dave's legs causing the animal to wince in pain and jump around to try and dodge the kicks.
Dave scowled at Mark and Glen who were just standing there and watching him. "A little help here?!" He shouted. Having to resort to running away to get away from his insane friend.
They both waved him off . "Just tough it out. You'll be fine!"
Rey was still enraged. Chasing after Dave with speed no one of the other superstars knew he had. "How dare you call me short! You overgrown, brainless monkey!" he shouted accenting each word with a kick.
"OVERGROWN BRAINLESS MONKEY!" Dave stopped in his tracks. He wouldn't stand for that. He tackled Rey to the floor of the lobby and the two began an all out war of punches, kicks, and headbutts.
Mark and Glen just stared at the two in amusement, completely forgetting about the mission they were both on, having found something much more interesting to entertain themselves with.
The brothers of destruction stared at each other and shrugged before they both grabbed a chair and a couple of beers and sat down to watch the fight. "My money's on Mysterio." Mark said suddenly. "He may be small, but he's got speed."
Glen shook his head. "I'll bet you twenty bucks that Dave's got this won. There's no way Rey can get away from him!"
Mark looked at him and smirked. "Your on brother!" The two shook on their bet and turned back to watch the fight, each of them cheering on their respective picks.
Hunter, Matt, and Adam chose this exact moment to bust out of the stairwell into the lobby, stopping in their tracks at the scene in front of them. Rey and Dave were rolling around on the floor beating the hell out of each other. While Mark and Glen sat on the sidelines watching and cheering.
"What the hell is going on here!" Hunter shouted.
Two heads snapped toward the blonde and his companions, while the two superstars on the floor continued brawling. Mark made his move and while his friend's head was turned he bashed him in the head with a beer bottle, knocking him to the floor. Rey broke away from Dave when he saw his partner in crime had been knocked out. This gave Dave the break he needed as he speared Rey from behind, knocking him into one of the end tables. Hunter glared at his two teammates when they stood up and faced him.
"Now can one of you please explain what the hell happened down here?!" Hunter demanded tapping the end of his sledgehammer in his hand.
The two looked at each other nervously before Dave bravely stepped up. "Well we had Shawn cornered until Glen and Rey came in after they knocked out Randy and John, and it just kinda spiraled out of control from there and umm...Shawn kinda escaped."
"I already know." Hunter growled out. "Chris radioed me and told me he and Jeff had escaped. He's following them now." Hunter glance down at watch. "Look it's almost 4:30. The factory opens at six. This means we have an hour and a half to stop Shawn. Adam, Matt grab Randy and John we gotta catch up to Chris!"
The game ran out hotel with the deadman and the animal on his heels. Hunter's four other companions stared in confusion when they ended up front of a car identical to the one he was in earlier. "Why do you have two cars Hunter?" Matt asked.
"How else was I going convince Shawn he wasn't being followed. Even he knows cars can't be in two places at once." Hunter said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Hopefully he hasn't figured out Chris is following him yet."
Everyone else just shook their heads as they got in the car. Hunter jumped into the driver's seat and put on his army helmet from his old DX days. "Hang on everybody! This is gonna be a very bumpy ride!" He pulled out of the parking lot and ran straight over the curb and on to street because he was in hot pursuit. Hot pursuit of a chocolate depraved heartbreaker.
Chris was positive he was going to die. He knew he wouldn't make it to the factory in one piece. Since chasing after Shawn he'd almost hit a bus, three light poles, and a guy selling tacos on a street corner. "Damn! Now I know why no one ever lets Jeff drive anywhere. He's fuckin insane!"
Shawn, meanwhile, was staring in the rearview mirror cursing at the fact that no matter what they tried they couldn't throw Chris off their trail. He turned back to Jeff. "Come on! We're only a few minutes from the factory! We have to get rid of him!" Shawn shouted hysterically.
Jeff made sharp right turn driving through a fence in to a park. He started ducking and dodging through trees in an effort to throw Chris off, but he relentlessly held on following Jeff through every turn he made until they finally ran through another fence and back on to the road. This was Chris' undoing. A shard of metal from the fence was in the middle of the road and by the time Chris saw it, it was too late.
"SHIT!" He heard his tire blow out the moment he ran over the metal. He swerved, trying to keep control of the car in a last ditch effort to follow Shawn. He ended up losing control and plowing right into a fire hydrant, effectively stopping Chris' pursuit. As soon as the shock wore off and he felt he was alright he immediately radioed Hunter. "Hunter come in!"
Hunter grabbed his radio from Dave and answered sharply. "What!"
"I lost him!"
"You did what?!"
"I lost him. I was chasing him and ran into a fire hydrant."
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"I think so. You want me to go after him on foot?"
"No. We don't know if your hurt or not. I'll be there in about 5 minutes. Stay put!"
"Alright. Chris out."
"Damn!" Hunter shouted, slamming his radio against the wheel. This was bad. Now that Shawn was actually at the factory they were running out of options. Hopefully after what happened before the factory put in that new high tech security system. Hopefully Shawn wouldn't be able to get past it which should by them some time.
"What happened?" Adam asked.
"Chris was in an accident. He's waiting a few blocks ahead for us." Hunter sped up, wanting to make sure Chris was alright and praying that something would keep the showstopper out of the factory until they got there.
Shawn and Jeff and gotten a big lead over Chris after he ran into that hydrant. He was ecstatic. "Jeff!" Shawn shouted, "After this performance you can definitely count on being a member of DX!" Shawn stuck his head out the window when he caught sight of the huge factory ahead of them. When Jeff finally stopped the car Shawn jumped out and shouted, "We've finally made it! I'm finally going to get my chocolate!
Is Chris alright? Will Shawn finally get into the factory to get his beloved chocolate? Will Jeff ever come down from his sugar high? Will Rey ever get his own area code? Last time I checked that wasn't possible, but everything else will answered next time!
