Chapter 8

I arrived back at the hotel around 10:30 at night after having driven around for a while trying to sort out everything only to end up with a headache in return. Also, I get out of the car and walk slowly inside, my mind blank although everything is playing over and over again, As I walk inside I spot Glenn Jacobs otherwise known as Kane talking to Ken Kennedy and I make my way over."

"Hey Glen." I murmur trying to act as if nothing is going on.

"Hey what's up Matt?" Glenn asks with a smile that is quite creepy to say the least.

"Not much what about you?" I reply.

"Same." He answers.

"I have a question for ya. Have you seen mark anywhere?" I say looking down as I play with the sleeve of my shirt.

"Yeah, I talked to him earlier he said that he was going to go get another hotel so he won't be disturbed later. Glenn laughed a little but I don't join in, his words making my stomach turn.

"Uh are you okay Matt?" That snaps me out of my thoughts and I look up into Glenn's concerned face.

"Yeah I'm fine um what time was this? Do you know?" I had to ask.

"It was right before the show." He answers looking at me strangely.

"Okay well thinks for your help but I gotta go talk to ya later," I shout as I rush to the elevators I get off on my floor and begin to rush toward my room, bumping into someone coming from their room we both fall to the floor with a hard thud.

"Sorry about that man." The guy apologizes. When I look up I can't help but smile.



"Hey Jay." I greet as he helps me to my feet.

"Hey to you too long time no see." Jay states.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Well I have a show Wednesday night and I thought I would get here early." He answers with a cocky smile.

"So what were you running off to so quickly?" He says putting his hand on his hips. Shit, I'm screwed. Jay and I have known each other forever and are best friends, he's always been able to tell when I'm lying but it's worth a shot.

"Oh um you know just the usual Sunday night." Okay I'm caught.

"Matthew, Matthew, you suck at trying to lie, now I know something's up so you can either tell what is going on or I will……" He pauses obviously trying to think of something to say because when he is trying to think really hard he gets an adorable look on his face. "…Do something that will make you tell me," Is all he can seem to come up with, shooting me that drop dead gorgeous smile.

"Right and what will that something be?" I ask now I am just playing with him. This is fun.

"I don't know yet, but seriously what's going on Matt? And don't go and try to lie to me about it because I can see in your eyes there's something going on. Now tell me," He demanded, looking serious for the first time tonight. Out of nowhere, he is behind me, pushing me toward his room and once I'm in he closes the door looking at me.

I sit down on the bed and sigh, I know I'm not gonna be able to lie to him but the letter said I couldn't tell anyone about anything.

"I can't tell you." I really don't want to get emotional but I can't help it.

"Why can't you tell me?" He sits next to me.

"Because I……I" Damn it Matt spit it out I tell myself.

"Because why Matt?" He asks, squeezing my shoulder with his hands and turning me to face him.

"Because Jeff and Shannon will die if I say anything." I state, not being able to hold back the emotions.



JEFF AND SHANNON

Once Shannon untied Jeff's right wrist he walked slowly to the other side and untied his left, looking at the clock he saw that it was five until eleven. He realized then that they were not gonna get out of there before Mark got back but he still had to try. It had been hell the last couple of days and he didn't want Jeff to have to go through anything like that.

Once he got Jeff untied he helped him stand even though he could barely stand himself. Jeff tried to help Shannon knowing that even though the pain isn't visible than Shannon was hurt way worse than him, yet he was being the strong one. Once they reach the door Jeff tries to open it with no luck, and there is no lock on the door.

"Jeff open the door." Shannon says in a small shaky voice he knowing that Mark must have locked them in the room, but he didn't know what to do.

"I can't" Jeff cried, pulling on the door. He and Shannon stopped pulling when they hear loud footsteps coming close, holding their breath. They both know instinctively that it's the Undertaker when they hear a key unlock the door. When the door opens Mark is standing their looking down at them, an amused and sadistic smile on his face."

Jay's POV

"What do you mean Jeff and Shannon will die if you say anything?" I ask my best friend. I can't believe what I'm hearing what the hell is going on?

"Jay please I have to go I have to find Shannon before the dead line," Matt sobs hoarsely and stands up making a run for the door but I stop him before he can leave the room.

"Matt who is going to hurt Jeff and Shannon? Please tell what the fuck is going on! What deadline? Matt I can help!" I yell at Matt my emotions rising to the surface.

When Matt turns to face me, He has tears streaming down his face and I can tell he is debating on if he should tell me or not. After a few minutes of standing in silence, Matt finally nods his head and we both sit back down on the bed, and he begins to tell me what is happening.



Fifteen minutes later I still sit in silence as Matt is going on about what was happening.

"And so I when I got done with my interview earlier I was going to go to the arena but then I saw that I had a text from Jeff that said he needed his contacts, I went to the hotel to get them but as I'm leaving, the hotel phone rings," He pauses to breathe

"I answered it and it was Mark he said that I needed to keep a closer eye on Jeff, then he said he was going to have some fun with him." Matt pauses once again before continuing with the story.

"After that I went back to the arena to see if they were still there and I went to Mark's room which was completely empty before heading to Jeff's room which was also empty but there was a note on one of the benches. In the note it said to go into the bathroom so I did and one of the shower stalls was covered in blood with a letter taped to the wall." Matt finishes the story and for the first time in twenty minutes I speak.

"What did the letter say?" I ask trying not to be too forward but my friends lives are on the line and I'll be damned if I'm not going to try and help get them back. Matt stands and pulled the paper out of his back pocket handing it to me I unfold it and start to read aloud."

" 'Hey Matt, sorry about the mess I left behind for you but I was kind of in a hurry because I knew you were on your way to try and save your stupid little brother and poor defenseless Shannon, well guess what? You're late this time!

I don't know why but I feel like I'm getting more out of this than I thought. Let's see I have poor little Shannon who is actually very handy if you catch my drift, and I have Jeff. I can't wait for him to wake up later! You should have seen his face when he saw Shannon lying there all beaten and bloodied it was great! And in a way, I also have you.

How so you might ask? I have you scared and weak, you know I'm the one with the upper hand and I have my eyes on you every second. I know every little move you make and I have a few rules to set out for you.

First: No cops or Shannon and Jeff will die.

Second: Tell anyone about this and Shannon and Jeff will die.



Third: You have forty-eight hours to find Shannon starting at midnight and if you don't make the deadline in time Shannon will be first to go. Don't try until after midnight you won't find us. When we leave Jeff and me, Shannon will be all alone waiting to die by praying for someone to save him.

Have fun Hardy!"

After I read that I feel myself losing control of the tears I've held back since Matt had begun telling me the story. When I look up at him Matt breaks, unable to hold anything back. It's not a pretty sight, having seen him like this once before I know that.

It takes an hour for Matt to cry himself to sleep which I think is best as it seems like he hasn't gotten any sleep over the last couple of days. It's twelve am and we've got 48 hours to find Shannon before something happens. I can feel sleep consume me as well and soon enough I'm in dreamland.

Third person POV

Jay wakes up and rolls over seeing Matt there with tearstains still on his cheeks. He slips out of bed as quietly as possible; grabbing his wallet and keys he leaves the room to find that the restaurant in the lobby hasn't begun serving breakfast yet. 'Hey there's a McDonald's down the street,' Jay thinks to himself, before he walks over to his car and drives about 2 miles down the road to McDonald's with a long drive line he decides to go inside.

When he walk inside he saw Adam Copeland sitting at a table with his back turned to him so he sneaks up behind him.

"BOO!" He surprises Adam and his pancakes go flying everywhere; Jay couldn't help up but laugh.

"Jay you asshole" He said turning and smiling at him.

"It's been a long time," Jay laugh.

"How have you been?" Adam asks standing up and giving Jay a hug

"Fine you know same old same old." Jay responds.

"Yeah same here. Have you seen the Hardy's yet?"Adam asks.

"Yep well just Matt I was with him all night, but I haven't seen Jeff yet."



"So there is something going on." Adam whispers to himself. But Jay caught what he said.

"What do you mean?" Jay asks 'Adam doesn't know about Jeff and Shannon does he?' or maybe he things me and matt are together.'

"Okay if I tell you, you can't tell anyone okay?" Adam questions with the look that got him and Jay in trouble so many times before but this is different Adam might know something that could help him and Matt find Jeff and Shannon. Jay nods yes before he continues.

"I think Jeff is sleeping with Undertaker." That right there made Jay's stomach turn.

"Why do you think that?" Jay asks trying his best to act normal and like nothing was going on.

"Well this morning around 3:30 I got thirsty so I went down the hall to the vending machines and I heard a door open and I looked around the corner and saw Mark and Jeff leaving the hotel! Can you believe that I mean I know Mark was gay but I had no idea that Jeff Hardy swung for the other team." Adam Laughs, Jay just laughs a little not to look to rude but then something came to him 'Shannon'.

"Hay Adam you haven't seen Shannon have you?" Jay could not resist.

"Nope, but the other reason I think there sleeping together is I heard yelling a little while before from Jeff and someone else I couldn't quit make out, but it wasn't yelling it was YELLING if you know what I mean and there was some moaning of course from Mark!" Adam laughs again but Jay does not laugh with him.

"Hey Adam I have to go I'll call you later okay?" Jay asks not waiting for a response before running out the door.
