Notes: Glad you all liked the last chapter. I can tell you this much; it gets a whole lot worse before it starts to get better. As for the reason well Jules helped me. Actually she gets full credit for it! Thanks Jules!!!! But it's something the Hardyz did awhile back to Raven. Won't say what though. I changed part of Chapter 2 on 2-7-03 because of a technicality and it works better for this fic =). Congrats to Tommy and Theresa. Never knew they were married!
Formulating a Plan
"Yeah Nancy I know I saw. I don't know why he would join Raven but it sure would explain a lot. No they left right away. You think I should? He and Chris haven't talked in years. Heck I haven't talked to him in years. Yeah good point. I've gotta go. I'll call you later Nancy." Perry Saturn said and hung up with Nancy Benoit.
He'd recently came back from another Japan tour and WWF had signed him and hadn't spoken to Benoit since that day he asked him where he'd been. Eddy had told him that Chris had been telling a lot of lies and acting weird. But tonight explained his behavior. What had Raven done to make Benoit a member? He wondered. He had been a member of the Flock in WCW and knew from first hand experience what Raven was capable of. He also knew that Raven and Chris hated each other. So that made this even more confusing.
He saw Jeff Hardy walk by with a Band-Aid on his arm. He cautiously walked up to him not sure if Jeff would trust him. "Jeff?"
Jeff looked at him. "What?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something. I was wondering if you might want to form a coalition. Raven's group seems to be targeting you and I believe a friend of mine isn't in the group willingly. I know of some people that will come help if I ask them. What do you say?"
Jeff had to think about it. He wasn't sure if he trusted Perry. But if Raven's group was targeting him he could use all the help that he could get especially since his mind was on his brother. "Okay." He finally answered.
"Great. I'm going to call a few people. They are going to be really interested in who's in there." Perry said and walked to a quiet area and made a few phone calls.

Meanie came back to the motel after running an errand to buy a few things at the store. He had wanted Stevie to come with him but Raven said that Stevie was needed for something else. He opened the door to the main motel room they were at. It was a cheep one without many other people there. He put the food and supplies down and looked around. Where was everyone? He wondered.
He heard a shower going so he knew where someone was. He walked through the door to one of the connecting rooms and saw Matt sitting cross-legged on one of the beds staring at someone on another bed. Meanie wasn't sure what he was staring at right away. He walked further in and he felt his blood run cold. Lying on the bed was a battered and bruised Stevie Richards.
"Stevie?" He asked. Stevie opened his eyes. "Did Raven do this?"
"Yeah." His voice more hoarse then usual. "Shane told him about Columbus."
"I'm going to kill that punk!" Meanie yelled startling Matt out of wherever his mind had gone. "First I'm going to have a talk with our bird friend." He said and left the room.
He walked through another door to a connecting room and found Raven and Kanyon talking. Raven looked up when Meanie entered. Kanyon stood in front of Raven to keep Meanie from hitting Raven.
"I could care less what you do to Matt but don't you dare do that to Stevie again." Meanie fumed.
"Who are you to tell me what to do and what not to do Meanie? He screwed up and he has to be punished."
"Just leave him alone Raven." Meanie said.
He walked back the way he came. He took out the bottle of Tylenol he had purchased and gave one to Stevie. "You want one?" He asked Matt who shook his head.
He put the Tylenol bottle back in his bag. He went over and turned the TV on to Mad TV. Matt remained on the bed and stared at the TV. Meanie wasn't so sure he was actually watching it. Stevie was watching it through barely open eyes. What a mess they were. Meanie thought as he settled onto the roll away.

Before anyone gets mad about Meanie's comment about Matt it's something that will also be brought up later in the fic when confronted about something he does.
