End notes for last chapter: These got left off the last chapter so I'll put them at the start of this one. This is just a little background for this fic. Elizabeth (Beth) Fleihr (Flair) is dead in this fic. She was killed in a car accident. Ric Flair left the sport to take care of Reid and Megan who are his two youngest and are still in school. That is completely made up. This chapter notes: this takes place two days later.

Shane sat in front of his television once again but this time it was to watch Smackdown. He hadn't watched WWE programming since he left the company in 1995 but what Perry said intrigued him. Was Perry telling the truth? Was Chris in trouble? He wondered.
Most of it didn't interest him much but halfway through he found what he was looking for. A tag match with Perry teaming with Jeff Hardy against Kanyon and Kidman. He saw Raven, Richards, Meanie, some guy with black hair, Torrie, Dreamer, some girl he didn't know, and as Perry had said Chris standing at ringside. Chris was even dressed differently and was pale. He didn't pay much attention to the match. Just watched Chris when the camera was on him. He had to agree with Perry that he just didn't look right. And he was even more shocked when Chris jumped Perry right away. Chris really was in trouble because none of this was like Chris.
He watched the match until the end. He grabbed the phone and dialed a number he still remembered. As it rang he questioned whether or not he was making the right choice.
'Hello?'
"Perry it's Shane. I've made my decision."
'And?' Perry asked. Shane could detect hopefulness in his tone.
"Where's the next show?"
'Great! It's in Boise on Saturday.'
"I'll try to be there."
'Okay. Oh and Shane? Glad that you decided to help.'
Shane hung up wondering what he may have gotten himself into.

Raven's Nest were back at their Utah home. They weren't planning to do anything until Monday in Fargo North Dakota. Raven was in an abnormally good mood over how well Saturday and Tuesday had gone. He hadn't struck either Matt or Stevie since Saturday. He didn't even let the fact that there was a coalition bother he. He knew they could handle them.
Meanie walked up to Raven. "Nova called me." Raven waited for him to continue. "He wants to rejoin the group."
"And how did he call you?" Raven asked.
Shoot Meanie thought. I wasn't going to tell him about my cellphone. "My cellphone."
"Call him back on it and tell him to be in Fargo Monday and we'll talk about it." Raven said and walked away.
Meanie let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing his cellphone didn't bother Raven. But he wasn't going to talk to Jasmin on it in front of Raven though. He went looking for Stevie. He found him and Matt outside. He couldn't tell what he was doing though. Matt still didn't say a word so he knew they weren't having a conversation. Not a verbal one anyway.
He watched them for a few seconds and saw that Stevie was trying to teach him how to sign letters. Matt, though not all there, seemed to be catching on to it rather quickly. Stevie looked up when Meanie came closer.
"I didn't know you knew how to do that." Meanie said.
"Guess it's just something you don't forget." Stevie said with a shrug. "I used a lot of it after my larynx operation. Thought maybe he'd use it."
"Don't let Raven know."
