Chris stared at the opened package with apprehension. It had been delivered that day to his apartment. When he opened the package he found an unlabeled DVR disc inside. There was a typed piece of paper inside of the envelope also. It read:

Benoit,

Play this in front of your family.

It was not signed.

Chris hadn't played it yet. He wasn't sure he could. He had learned many things the past twenty years and one of those things was not to play videos that you receive mysteriously because there was never anything good on them.

He picked up the phone and called Erichson.

"Hello?" Tammy Sytch Erichson answered.

"Hi Tammy it's Chris. Is Michael there?"

"Just a second," she said. There was silence for a few seconds before Michael answered.

"Hello?"

"Michael its Chris. I received DVD in the mail today. There was a piece of paper inside that instructed me to play it in front of my family."

"Have you watched it yet?" Michael asked.

"Not yet. I called you first."

"Why don't we all meet at your apartment in an hour. I'll call everyone and tell them what's going on."

"Sounds good. I'll see you then." Chris said and hung up the phone. He placed the DVD on the table and stared at it. The feeling of dread didn't go away.

Everyone arrived within an hour. The last two to arrive were Nancy and Jason.

"I'm sorry," Jason said as he came in. "I couldn't talk her out of coming."

"He's my son and I have every right to see this DVD." She reminded them.

Chris went over to his Blu Ray/DVD player and slipped the DVD inside. He pushed play.

The video started with a shot of two men in masks. They were standing in front of a door. One of them opened the door and the cameraman stepped inside. The next shot was of Danny tied to a bed blindfolded.

"As you can see," a voice said. "Daniel Benoit is unharmed, at the moment anyway."

The camera turned and showed one of the masked men was holding a sledgehammer.

Megan gasped. Alex held her tightly.

"Megan why don't you…" Chris started to say.

"I want to stay," she said though her voice was shaking.

"Daniel," the masked man that had just spoken singsonged. "Why don't you say hello to your family who are watching right now?"

"Go to Hell Chad."

"Chad?" Athena said in shock. Chad was behind this?

"Not cool Danny Boy," Chad said. He lifted the sledgehammer higher. He dropped it down on Danny's knee.

There was a loud scream from not only Danny but also others in the room that were watching the video.

Danny was hit twice more in the leg. Megan left the room with Alex following her.

Nancy sat staring at the screen with tears streaming down her face.

"We will be in touch," the second person said. The screen went blank.

The room was silent for a few minutes.

Nancy stood up, wiping the tears angrily away from her face. This was no time to cry. Her son was still alive; at least she hoped he was. Chad and the other person were going to pay for hurting her son.

"Well at least we know one person behind this," Eddy said. "I didn't recognize the other voice."

"I thought Chad went to TNA," Chris said. "Carter called to confirm that he was out of the WWF."

"Nah," Alex said coming into the room along with Megan. "I talked to Daniels the other day and he said he heard that Chad got fired for failing a drug test. His second one I think."

Eddy snorted. "They never fired RVD."

"So what now?" Megan asked.

"It's not much to go on," Michael said, "but I will have someone check for fingerprints to see if we can find out who may have sent the DVD. Shane are you going to keep the company's going? I know WCW is Europe but I don't think Chris and Steve are going to want to be on the road and I think it'd be a good idea to keep all of you in the same area. Owen also when he and Martha get here."

"I've been thinking about it," Shane said. "I'm going to put the WWF on hiatus but the wrestlers will be welcome to wrestle with WCW if they want. I was trying to keep this from happening but at the moment we have no one to run the WWF."

"Probably a good idea," Bischoff spoke up. He looked at his watch. "I need to head home. I already told Lori our trip to Japan was going to be cancelled until further notice so if you need me, call me on my cell." He said and left.

Soon everyone started leaving.

Nancy looked at Chris for a long moment pain very evident in her eyes but she didn't say anything as she left the room.

She may not have said anything but her eyes spoke volumes.

Chris watched Michael take the DVD and leave.

He was right. This DVD had nothing good on it.
