Ryan paces the kitchen of his penthouse apartment. He feels the anger boiling over in him as he holds the phone against his ear. He can hear the rough voice of the person on the other end of the line. He then speaks with a mild tone of fear in his voice. "Seth left."
The voice "what do you mean he left."
Ryan growls. "He left me. Cut all his ties and walked out."
The voice growls, "Why did you let him?.. you told me that you could control him."
Ryan growls, "I was until he grew a backbone. He ran away in the middle of the night. The cops think they know where he is."
The voice goes silent and then there's a chuckle. "I'll find him. Then you will get your ass out where he is and take him home. You understand me."
Ryan mutters. "Yes Sir."
The voice: "And Ryback. Don't disappoint me."
Ryan bites his lip when he hears dial tone and then hangs up his phone.
Seth finishes his day and bites his lip as he walks out to the main part of the garage. It was the end of the day and Seth had finished most of the office. Randy was locking up and looks up at Seth. "Good work"
Seth nods. "thank you."
Randy looks at him. "Head home.. get some sleep. Tomorrow you will actually train and start taking over in the front."
Seth grins brightly. "Can't wait."
Seth leaves the shop and waves at Randy.
Randy turns his head and looks at Roman who is leaning against the wall. "Ro?"
Roman mumbles. "Taker will watch him."
Randy nods and looks back over to where Seth had walked away.
Seth walks towards the apartment building and his eyes go wide when he sees a cop car sitting there. Seth feels fear coil it's self in his gut as he walks up. He pales and looks up when Mark walks out and immediately grabs Seth. He pulls Seth to the side and whispers. "They're here because of a missing person's report on you."
Seth whimpers softly as he looks up at Mark. "I don't want to go back."
Mark nods and looks down at him. "Shh you don't have to. You need to talk to them though. I'll stay with you Seth. You need to talk to them though."
Seth nods and Mark offers him a hand. Seth though grabs Mark's arm instead and holds on. Mark shakes his head and leads him to Seth's apartment. Officer Rhodes looks at him and smiles gently.
"Seth my name is Cody." the officer states. "This is my partner Jack."
Seth nods and speaks softly. "Seth Rollins."
Cody nods. "Your patner, Ryan filed a missing person's report. He seemed very concerned about you."
Seth shakes his head, "He's not concerned.. he just wants me back because he thinks he owns me."
Cody sits down and looks at Seth. "what do you mean?"
Seth shakes his head and Mark looks back at Seth, "you should tell them."
Seth swallows and whispers. "he thinks he owns me.. that I'm his puppet. That's the only reason that he wants me back."
Cody looks at him. "Did he ever hurt you?"
Seth nods and whispers. "Lots.."
Cody looks at Seth. "Seth.. "
Seth shakes his head. "I don't want to charge him.. I just want.. him away from me. I want to be left to live my life in peace. I don't want him to know where I am. Please.. He'll come for me."
Cody looks at him. "He won't know where you are. If he hurt you though you should consider charges so he doesn't do it to someone else."
Seth shakes his head. "no.. I just .. I want to be away from him."
Cody nods and then stands up. He gives Seth a card. "If you ever change your mind."
Seth nods and watches the two officers leave.
Mark looks at him. "Why didn't you put him in jail."
Seth whispers. "He always got away with it. He had friends in the police force and the charges always went away."
Mark nods and sighs softly. He then notices something and reaches out. He touches Seth's hair. "Your dye is coming out."
Seth blinks and reaches up. He then goes to the bathroom and looks. Half of his hair is starting to show blond roots. Seth then looks at Mark. "Ryan.. hated my hair. He made me dye it.."
Mark nods and looks at Seth. "You should let it grow out.. it looks better that way."
Seth nods. "I think I am." He runs a hand through his hair and bites his lip.
Mark nods, "do you want me to call anyone to stay with you?"
Seth shakes his head. "I'll be ok."
Mark nods and looks at him. "Anyone that comes in.. has to get by me. You're safe here."
Seth nods and smiles softly. "Thank you."
Cody slams fist into the dash board and the cracks under the force. There's blood on Cody's hand but the wound heals before he even pulls his hand back. Cody snarls at Jack. "Call the boss with the boys address. Tell him that he's with them."
Jack nods and picks up the phone. "Don't worry love. We'll get him back."
Mark walks into his apartment and picks up his phone and dials a number. "His partner's name was Ryan.. It was Ryback." He nods, "I know I'm keeping watch. Finn is coming as well. Yes I think that might be a good idea. Hey.. don't worry I will keep him safe. You just keep up your end of this."
