"I don't see why you won't let me end this." Avery said to them as they walked through the woods.

"Because I'm not letting anything happen to you." Mike said to her.

"Avery, we're going to go back to camp and hopefully the cops will deal with this." Kate said to her.

Mike looked over at her for a minute and then he grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. "I just got you. I don't plan on losing you. We're going to head back to camp and we're going to be okay. And when we get home, we're going on a real date." She nodded and they headed toward the camp, they hoped.

Jerry and the cops were at the camp waiting on word. Jerry had tried to call his guards and call home with no answer. "I don't care what you have to do. You find my daughter and her friends." He said to Detective McIntyre.

"Sir, we are doing everything we can. We have patrols trying to find the bus and we have send patrols to your house."

"How do you know the killer isn't out there and he's after or he has already hurt my daughter and her friends."

They looked up when they saw a figure coming toward them, their nerves on alert. As the person came closer, they saw that he was badly injured. The cops ran forward and grabbed him as he collapsed.

"It's Phil Brooks. He was on the bus to go back to the city." One of them said.

Jerry looked at Drew as he called the paramedics over. "The killer has my daughter and her friends. Are you going to find them?"

"We don't know who the killer is." He said as the paramedics worked on Phil and placed him into the ambulance.

"Well it would have to be someone on the bus. That would be AJ Lee, John Cena, Mike Mizanin, Avery Hart and Kate Lawler." One of the other officers said.

"I doubt it's Avery or Kate." Jerry replied. "That leaves AJ, John, and Mike. And while I'm not a fan of John Cena's. I know he wouldn't hurt her daughter."

"That doesn't mean he isn't the killer. That just means he won't kill your daughter."

"A...J. Got to save Avery." Phil said.

"AJ did this?" Phil nodded.

"Wants to kill her...tell Avery I...love...her."

"We have to get him to a hospital." The paramedic said.

"Take him." Drew said. He turned to Jerry and the others. "We will comb the woods and try to find them. We will also try to find the bus. Mayor, you sent two guards with the kids. How could this young girl overtake them?"

Jerry sighed. "They are two of the best but they have been with me for years. Since my daughter was five. She is the only kid they have been around. They don't see kids as threats"

"Do we know anything about her? Why she was here?"

Drew got out his files on the kids and pulled out AJ's. "She was caught with Randy Orton. And they were busted for weed. She has a history of mental illness. But the school psychologist was certain she had it under control."

"Yeah right. I want this lunatic found and stopped. And if she hurts one hair on my daughter's head, or any of the rest of those kids, I want her shot on site."

"Of course." Drew said to him. He hoped it couldn't come to that but who knew.

Mike, John, Avery and Kate walked through the woods toward the camp. They were certain they were in the right direction. They had saw no signs of AJ.

"Do you think we're close to camp?" Kate asked as they walked.

"I think so." Mike replied. "We just have to keep going."

They heard a twig break behind them and thy turned around in time to see AJ coming at Avery with the knife.

"Avery watch out." Mike yelled and pushed her out of the way. He groaned when the knife got his shoulder.

Avery and Mike fell and John picked up a log and smacked AJ in the face with it. He looked over at Avery.

"Get the hell out of here and get help!" She ran in the direction they had been going and hoped she would get to camp.

Kate went over to Mike and put pressure on the wound. "Is she dead?"

"No, I think she's just out." John said to her.

"But she won't be for long."

"No. Hopefully Avery can get help."

Avery ran through the woods and hoped she was going in the right direction. She saw lights ahead and headed that way. She was relieved when she saw camp. She ran to where the police were.

"You have to help." She said to the first one she came too. "She stabbed Mike! John and Kate are with him! Please! You have to hurry."

Drew looked at the others. "I want everyone in the woods. She's dangerous and we have three kids still out there with her. Go!" The police left the camp and headed into the woods.

"Don't worry Avery. The police will find her." Jerry said as he hugged the young girl. He didn't understand why Kate hadn't followed her. "Avery, why didn't Kate follow you?"

"I don't know. John told me to get help and I ran. I don't know why Kate didn't follow." He nodded and looked at the woods. His daughter had to okay. He couldn't lose her.

The police each went in a different direction and began looking around the woods. They were looking for any sign of the kids.

John and Kate put the tourniquet they'd made for Mike's shoulder on and looked at him. He was a little pale and he was starting to sweat a little. "We've got to get out of here."

"How?" Kate said. "He's barely conscious."

"Mike, listen to me man okay? Avery went for help but we've got to get out of here. Can you walk?" Mike nodded weakly.

"Just...keep...keep me moving." Kate got on one side and John on the other and they helped Mike up. They started walking in the direction they were certain the camp was.

They moved slowly made their way through the woods. "Hang on Mike. We will be there soon." John said as they walked. They heard something behind them. "Please don't let this be that lunatic." John said softly. The three of them turned to see who was there praying it was the police and not AJ.

AJ came at them with the knife and then out if nowhere there was a series of loud pops. AJ screamed and then fell to the ground. They turned to see police all around.

"Are you okay?" Drew asked them.

"Do we look okay?" John replied. "Mike's been hurt."

Drew rushed over and put pressure on Mike's wound. "We have paramedics standing by." He called into the radio and told the paramedics to meet them.

"Avery?" Mike asked.

"She's fine. She's back at camp with the mayor." Mike nodded as they walked out of the woods and the paramedics were waiting. "They are going to take you to the hospital."

"Avery." he said again. Drew motioned for her to come over. "She's okay to ride." He told the paramedics as Avery got into the ambulance. They were soon on their way to the hospital. He turned to Kate and John. "You both need to be checked out. It looks like you have a nasty cut and bruise Kate." She nodded.

"Kate." She heard from behind her. "Thank goodness you're okay." Her dad said hugging her. "What happen to the guards?"

"AJ killed them both." John said to him. "The bus crashed and Kate was knocked out."

Jerry looked at him. "Are you alright?" John nodded.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Mike. And believe it or not...Phil."

"He's very serious." Jerry replied. "I will take you both to the hospital. You need to be checked out. Both of you." He motioned for his driver to bring the car around and his other guards to come. "Kevin, I want you to ride in back with us. Glen, you ride upfront with the driver."

They nodded and did what he asked. Kevin Nash and Glen Jacobs were two of his biggest and strongest guards besides Dave and Paul. The four of them had been with the mayor for years. And now with Dave and Paul gone, Kevin and Glen would step up as personal guards for the family.

John and Kate took seats in the limo with Jerry and Kevin. They were soon on their way to the hospital. Both were glad it seemed to be over. Now they just hoped Phil and Mike would be okay.
