Notes: Well RAW's going to be a little different when it comes to one character in this chapter!


Dean came to with a start. He had no idea where he was but wherever he was; his hands were tied behind his back. He tried to sit up but there was a heavy weight on his stomach that pushed down harder. He was forced to look up at someone leg. He saw a dark beard and his mind was too fuzzy to try to figure out who that was. "Where am I?"

"Doesn't really matter at the moment," a bored voice answered.

"Sandow?!" He said trying to stand up again but Damian Sandow's feet were keeping him down on the floor.

"He's awake," Sandow said to someone. "No I don't have any more. You only gave me one. How much longer are you going to be?" He sighed. "I better get a bonus for this." The next thing Dean felt was something crashing against the side of his head and he was out. Sandow set the broken bottle down and reached for a different wine bottle. Hunter was going to owe him big time.


Roman and Seth searched the arena high and low but they could not find Dean. Their worry increased as time went on. They knew Dean wouldn't have left his phone in the audience. Someone must have put it there but whom? Renee said she had seen Dean at catering during the main event and said no one else was there. They had talked about the show and that was it. She said nothing seemed different about Dean.

"What now," Seth asked. He said returning to the Shield locker room to find the Money in the Bank Briefcase there which confused them more because it hadn't been in the locker room when they left to find Dean. Had Dean come back? They would have seen him if he had wouldn't they? This whole night didn't make any sense.

Sheamus came into the main part of the locker room from the shower. "Oh good glad I caught you before you left. I found the briefcase near catering earlier. Thought Dean forgot it or something." He said as he started to change.

"It was just there?" Roman asked. "No one had it?"

"Nope just lying on the ground. Was out of the way. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't walked that way back to the locker room."

"First Dean's phone ended up in the crowd and now the briefcase?" Roman asked shaking his head. This was really bad and he didn't know what to do from here.

Seth looked at his partner. The expression on his face showed that he had the same thought going through his mind. He was the master planner and if he couldn't come up with a possible explanation, no one could.


Hunter and Stephanie entered the limo after the PPV. Sandow was texting and didn't even look up. Dean was still unconscious on the floor with dried blood from where Sandow had hit him in the head.

"So now what?" Stephanie asked as she and Hunter sat down on the seat across from Sandow.

"We need to find a place to stash him until I can get him to California Tuesday," he said. "If I'm not at the show tomorrow, it'll look suspicious. I need to deal with the rest of the Shield, Reigns and Rollins. I think I have something special planned for them and for John Cena."

"Why not take him to my parent's home," Stephanie suggested. "Mom's a guest speaker at a convention and dad can keep an eye on him or even drop Dean off in California. Where's he going anyway?"

"Just a little place called Atascadero."
