Cameron found himself holding Athena's hand when they exited the airplane in Atlanta. He had tried to distance himself from Athena and Danny as he felt guilty for what his father had tried to do to their fathers. It was really the reason he had gone to WCW instead of the WWF. He had said it was because he didn't want to be in his father's shadow but it was more than that. It was because he didn't think he could work with Steve Austin, Chris Benoit, and Owen Hart.
They walked through the airport and then to the baggage claim. They hadn't gone far before fans swarmed them asking for autographs. A man hurried over to them.
"I apologize; however, Miss Hart and Mr. Hickenbottom are in a hurry." He said lightly pushing past the fans as he guided Cam and Athena through the airport.
Athena stopped for a moment as she figured out why the man looked familiar. "Alex?" She asked.
Her former bodyguard gave a slight nod. "It is good to see you too Miss Hart." He led them to baggage claim. "Did either of you check luggage?" They shook their heads.
They were lead outside to a waiting car. Cam was reluctant to get in the car. This all really seemed strange to him. This morning Dustin told him he needed to go back to Atlanta and much like Athena, he had thought it was a family emergency. He dismissed the idea almost immediately as he knew if it was a family emergency, he'd be going to San Antonio instead. He had been very surprised to find out Athena was also being sent back to Atlanta. Things just didn't add up to him.
"Cam it's okay." Athena said sticking her head out the door. "I know the driver."
Cam reluctantly got in the back with Athena. Alex got into the passenger seat. Cam was pretty sure he had seen the driver before but he wasn't certain.
"Michael what's going on?" Athena asked.
"Daniel Benoit and Cassidy Williams have disappeared." Michael said as he started the car. "We believe they were both kidnapped from their apartments last night. As Danny's family had gone to see why he wasn't answering his cell phone after missing a family dinner at his mother's house."
"Why did you think it was a kidnapping and who are you?" Cam asked through the lump in his throat.
"My name is Michael Erichson. I am an FBI agent. I've been working on this for 21 years. To answer your first question, Danny's apartment was trashed. We do not know for certain if Cassidy was kidnapped but she is missing."
They drove quietly to Fayetteville and stopped before a house. Michael flashed his badge at the person sitting there and drove up to the house.
They all got out of the car and Michael rang the doorbell. Megan answered the door and led them inside. Cameron wondered where they were. He had thought they were being taken to a hotel but this was most definitely someone's house.
"Everyone's outside." Megan said leading them through the home and out onto the deck.
Cam saw Steve, Chris, Megan's fiancé Alex, Shane and Marissa McMahon, and a whole bunch of people and children he didn't know. He really didn't know Alex. He had only exchanged greetings a few times. He knew he was a wrestler for the WWF.
The conversations seemed to stop when he and Athena went outside. Athena went over to talk to Chris and Steve but Cam hung back feeling like an outside, which, he pretty much was. After the trial where his father was sentenced for multiple murders and attempted murders, he felt like he didn't deserve to be friends with Athena and Danny. Now Danny and Cassidy had disappeared and it wasn't fair.
Cam felt someone clap him on the shoulder. He turned around to find Eddy Guerrero standing there. "How are you doing Cam?" He asked.
Cam wasn't sure how to answer him at first. "Okay I guess." Though that was a lie but he wasn't sure what else to say. It felt he had a pit in his stomach. He was pretty sure he knew who was responsible and at the moment, he wasn't sure what to believe. He turned around and walked back through the house and out the door. He didn't know where he was going but knew he couldn't stay there.
