"Randy, stop." Randy ignored Josh's pleas and continued his touching. Randy Orton is the leading doctor at the palace and he was currently molesting the head nurse at the palace and his husband, Josh Matthews. "Randy."

"You know you like it." Randy stated cockily as he tried to slip his hands down Josh's scrubs.

"I do…but not here." Josh said as he struggled to break away from Randy.

"Come on baby, let m-." Randy stopped talking when he heard the doors to the medical facility slam open.

Josh and Randy looked around the corner and saw Shawn, the queen, and the king who had Bret hoisted over his shoulder. Randy and Josh grabbed a cart for behind the station and rolled it over to them. Hunter laid Bret onto the cart.

"What happen?" Randy asked as Josh checked for a pulse and checked his airways

"He drunk some juice then he started coughing up black stuff." Hunter told him franticly.

"His pulse is weak and his airways aren't fully opened." Josh stated as another doctor and a few other nurses showed up.

"Alright, we have to get him to the back." Randy said and they all rushed him to the back so they could operate on Bret.

Shawn, Brian, and Hunter were ushered into the waiting room by another nurse. Shawn sat in the middle of Brian and Hunter. Shawn let out a shaky breath. He was so worried about his Bret. Shawn rubbed his face. He was trying to hold back his tears. He really hoped Bret was just fine. He didn't want his love to die. Shawn bit his bottom lip to keep from sobbing as the tears rolled down his face. Hunter looked over and saw this. He saw how Shawn was crying and shaking. Hunter grabbed Shawn and pulled him into a hug. Shawn couldn't hold it in anymore as he cried aloud on Hunter's shoulder.

Brian watched as his husband rubbed soothing circles into Shawn's back. Brian tear up a bit as he watched this precious moment. Any other person would have been jealous, watching their husband hold on to another so tight but Brian was glad. They were a family and this is what family does. They comfort each other in a time of need. Brian leaned over the arm rest on his chair and hugged Shawn from the back as he let his own tears fall.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hunter, Brian, and Shawn looked up but didn't let go of each other as Eric rushed into the waiting room. Eric Bischoff was Hunter's most trusted and valued advisor in his staff. He was also one of the few people in his staff that could address him so freely and informally.

"Why are all of you crying? The servants tell me they say all of you running down here, you." Eric pointed to Hunter. "Carrying someone on your back, what's up?"

"Something happen to Bret." Brian answered and Eric gasped. "He just started coughing up this black mucus and he fainted."

"Oh my God." Eric said and went over to Shawn and hugged him. He couldn't believe anything like this was happening to Bret. Bret was a very healthy man.

Hunter cleared his throat. "Eric, call Bret's commanding officers and tell them that he is in the hospital. Also, I don't think I'll be doing any business today. Tell anyone that I had to meet with today, I won't be able to because of Bret's condition."

"Of course." Eric said. "If you guys need anything, just ring me. I'll be back when I'm done." Eric said as he walked out of the room and started on his task.

"I don't." Shawn sniffed. "I don't know why Bret was coughing up that black stuff…he's never smoked and I- he's so healthy." Shawn said. Hunter and Brian nodded but didn't say anything. The wheel were turning inside of both of their heads.

An hour had past and Eric had come back into the waiting room, filling Hunter in on everything. As Eric finished up, Randy came into the room. Everyone stood up.

"Should I leave?" Eric asked, wanting to give them their personal space but Hunter shook his head. "I'm going to have to tell you anyway."

"What happen? Is Bret OK?" Shawn asked Randy and Randy took a deep breath.

"He's alive but unconscious and I don't know how long he'll be under. Bret was poisoned."

"What?" They all questioned in unison.

"Yes, someone put a large quantity of a Chinese Yin poison in the juice that he drank."

"Oh God." Shawn said and placed his hand on his chest. "Bret drunk my drink…it was meant for me. Someone is trying to kill me." Shawn looked up at Randy. "Where is Bret? I need to see Bret."

"He's in room three but he's…unconscious." Randy trailed off as Shawn ran out of the door and to Bret's room.

"What's a Chinese Yin poison?" Hunter asked.

"You know about Yin and Yang?" Randy asked and they all nodded. "Well a Yin poison is a poison that is designed to work slowly on the body. You would use this type of poison if you wanted to torture someone. A yang poison on the other hand is very aggressive. If you ingest a yang poison, you will be dead in a couple of minutes. Most people, in the old days, would take this when they were sick and in misery and just wanted to die."

"How do you get it?" Eric asked.

"The ingredients that you use to make the poison grow in nature. Simple herbs that you could eat make up these types of poisons. Some herbs are fine by themselves but when you mix them with other herbs, they become dangerous." Randy answered. "We were able to extracted most of the poison from Bret and we gave him a blood transfusion, now its up to his body to heal and repair itself."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Do you want me to tell anyone about this?" Eric asked.

"Just his high ranking officers." Hunter said. "But tell them not to spread this around."

"Got it." Eric said and left to start on his second mission for today.

Randy turned to Brian. "Do you want to get started with your test?" Randy asked since Brian and Hunter were here.

"Ugh, yeah." Brian said as he rubbed his face, wiping away the leftover tears. "Yeah, lets get this over with."

"Baby, do you need me to be with you?" Hunter asked and Brian shook his head.

"No, I'm fine. I know you have to tell some people about Bret." Brian answered and Hunter kissed him on the lips.

"Alright, I'll be back." And with that, Hunter left.

Randy led Brian down to the bathroom and handed Brian a cup. "I'm going to need you to pee in the cup." Brian grabbed the cup and went into the bathroom. After a few minutes, Brian emerged from the bathroom and gave Randy the cup. Randy put the cup on a cart and took Brian to the next room. Brian sat down in a chair and Randy drew a couple of vials of blood.

"That's a lot of blood." Brian commented as Randy wrapped the bandage around his arm.

"I'm checking for a lot of things."

Brian followed Randy to the X-Ray room and had X-rays taken of his stomach area. He was then taken to get a CAT scan and some MRIs.

"Alright." Randy said and opened the door to an examination room. Brian walked in and sat down. "I'm going to read over your CAT scans and MRIs as well as the lab results and then I'll be back." Randy shut the door and left.

Shawn walked into the room and looked at Bret laying in the bed. as he looked at Bret, his heart broke more and more. Shawn pulled up at chair next to Bret and grabbed his hand. He looked at the IV that was connected to him and the heart monitor that went beep every second. Shawn looked at Bret. Bret always said he would take a bullet for Shawn, that he would die for Shawn. Shawn always laughed it off because he just knew Bret would never have to but that was not the case. Bret drunk his juice that was laced with poison. Bret took the bullet.

Shawn kissed Bret on his forehead. "You don't have to die…you don't have to die for me baby. Come back to me.

"Oh my God! What?" Stephanie screamed into the phone. "Why?"

Hunter sighed. "I don't know but the poison wasn't meant for Bret, it was meant for Shawn. Bret drunk out of Shawn's cup."

"Oh wow." Stephanie said.

"I'll call you with anymore updates…I have to call a slew of people now."

"OK, please call me if anything changes." Stephanie hung up the phone and place her hand on her stomach. Who would want to kill Shawn?

"What's wrong?" Sunny asked as she walked into the room. "You eat some bad food?"

"No, someone tried to kill Bret."

"What?" Sunny said in horror. "Who would want to kill Bret? He's such a good man."

"I don't know, it just makes me sick to my stomach."

Sunny coughed and held back her tears. "I'm going to lie down." Sunny said and marched upstairs to her bedroom.

Sunny grabbed her cellphone and dialed a number.

"Hello."

"You idiot!" Sunny screamed and then lowered her voice. "I told you to poison Shawn not Bret."

"I did, he must have drank out of his cup."

Sunny growled. "If Bret dies, you're dead."

Randy enter the exam room and looked at Brian. "I've have all the results. I need to ask you a question and I want to be completely honest with me."

"OK."

"Have you been taking contraceptives?"

"No, never." Brian responded.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure I would know whether or not I'm putting a pill down my throat."

"Well, the test came back…and you have a high level of contraceptives in your blood stream."

"What?" Brian was shocked. "I've never taken birth control."

"Never?"

"Ever." Brian says.

"You've never taking birth control willingly?" Brian shook his head no. "Well, then that means someone has to be putting it in your food and drinks."

Brian sighed aloud and placed his head in his hands. Someone wanted Shawn dead and him off of the throne.

"Get Hunter." Brian said. "We need to come up with a plan."

A/N: Seems as if Sunny's plan has backfired. Will Bret live? Stay tuned.
