Shane Douglas had to suppress a scream as he walked into the kitchen. So much for letting by gones be by gones. He thought angrily. He only suppressed the scream when he saw Chris Benoit was in the room staring at a glass of water and only looked up when Shane sat down loudly.
"What is it with everyone Chris?" He continued knowing he wasn't going to get an answer. "I want to put everything behind us but I swear no one wants to let it go. Perry's always glaring at me and Dean and Eddy try but I know they are still mad at me.
He got up and got himself a glass of water. He didn't really look at Chris. "I know you don't know what's going on here but I miss the old you. This is not you. I know Raven drugged you and it's not your fault but you really need to snap out of this. I miss the guy I once called my best friend." He turned to look out the window and saw Stevie Richards playing catch with one of Terry Funk's dogs. "I could kill Raven for what he did to you guys. Yeah I knew what he was doing in ECW but I didn't do anything I just figured his friends would deal with it. But I'm not going to sit back and do nothing now."
He heard Dean and Perry arguing in the other room. He could have sworn he heard his name mentioned at least once. He finally had it and threw the glass against the wall. He'd pay back the Funk's later. He put his hands over his face. He was surprised no one had come into the room. He was glad no one did.
"Shane?" A strained voice asked. At first he thought Stevie Richards had come into the house. But no he was still sitting on the porch. He turned around and saw Chris was looking at him with a very confused expression. "Shane where are we?" Yep it had been him.
"In Amarillo Texas at the Double Cross Ranch. Don't worry about Raven. He's in prison."
"Why would I worry about that? Shane what's going on?"
Now Shane was confused. "Chris what's the last thing you remember?"
Chris didn't say anything at first. "Being backstage somewhere. I'm not sure where."
"We got you out and the doctor's were able to get rid of whatever drug had been floating in your system. Thank God you are back."
"Drug? What drug? Shane you are making no sense! Was it Raven? Is that why he's in jail? What the hell is going on Shane?"
"Chris?" Perry asked as he ran into the room followed by Dean.
"Perry what's going on? Was I drugged?"
Perry shot Shane a look that could have killed. "Chris you need to calm down. You don't remember being in Raven's Nest?"
"No! Why would I do that? I hate Raven!" He was crying now. "Would someone tell me what's going on?"
Before anyone could answer, Ric Flair had arrived.
