Notes: Very short chapter but it answers a few questions of last chapter.
No Escape
Meanie looked up when Stevie exited the basement again. After Raven had shoved him down the stairs three weeks ago, he had been paying more attention.
Stevie walked up to him. "Matt's stopped talking."
Meanie nodded. He was pretty sure that would happen sooner or later. He'd been down there, not by choice, during one of the 'torture' sessions. Matt was hit every time he spoke even when answering Raven's questions. It was no wonder Matt had stopped talking. Whatever Raven's plan was it seemed to be working. He looked around before asking "Give him anything for the pain?"
Stevie nodded. "When's Raven supposed to be back?"
"He said in a few hours. They had to go buy a few things. Kanyon's watching a baseball game. Don't know where the others are though." The phone started to ring. Meanie answered it. "Hello? Yeah hold on." He passed it to Stevie. "It's Shane."
"Hello?" He answered. "Friday in Columbus against Jeff Hardy? Sure. You have told Raven? Okay yeah I'll be there." He hung up. "I have to wrestle at house shows Friday and Sunday and RAW on Monday. Guess Stevie couldn't get us out of every show."
"It'll get you out of here for a few days at least."
"Yeah but Raven's sending someone with me. Shane didn't know whom though. Probably to make sure I don't tell anyone."
"I'll go if he lets me."
"He'll probably pick Benoit since he's the only really active wrestler in this group."
There was a thump from the basement. Both practically flew to the basement door. They knew something had to be up. As soon as they opened the door, Stevie felt someone hit him full force knocking him to the floor leaving him dazed. Meanie grabbed Matt's arm and tried to keep him still. Matt started hitting him. And after a few minutes Matt fell into his arms. Meanie looked up in surprise. Kanyon was standing there with an empty syringe in his hands. Kanyon literally tossed him back into the basement and locked the door again. He went back into the living room without saying a word.
Meanie helped Stevie back to his feet. "You okay?" Stevie nodded. "Raven will really tear into him when he gets back."
"Remind me not to be." Stevie said and went to the room he shared with Meanie without another word. He was still stunned by all of this.
***
Meanie was outside when Raven and the others came back. He wasn't about to tell them Matt had tried to escape. He'd let Kanyon tell him. Raven went into the house. Stevie was sleeping last he checked but knew that wouldn't last when Raven found out what happened while he was gone.
He could hear Raven yelling for Stevie to come down there right now. Meanie came in to make sure Raven didn't do anything to Stevie. Stevie came down the stairs wiping sleep out of his eyes.
Raven grabbed him by the collar. "What were you thinking?" He yelled. "I leave here for a few hours and you almost let him escape."
Meanie quickly jumped to his defense. "Raven we heard a thump and didn't know what it was. When we opened the door to check, Matt nearly ran Stevie over. I grabbed him and Kanyon had to sedate him."
Raven let go of Stevie and walked over to the basement door. "Kidman come with me." They left the room. It wasn't long before they all could hear Raven yelling and Matt screaming.
Stevie walked outside not able to hear anymore of it. Meanie followed him and found him in his typical place now. He had his head down and he was shaking.
Maybe it was a good thing he was leaving for a few days.
