Two years later.

The WWE had never given up on finding Seth. There had just been no leads. The only lead they had was when one of the kidnappers that was shown on the video was killed in a car crash in France. The France police had been able to piece together that he was a part of a notorious human trafficking ring. There was nothing though after that. The LA police detective in charge, Detective James, of Seth's case was called every week by Dean or Roman. But nothing ever came of the calls since there was just nothing to say. Dean and Roman where still listed as Seth's next of kin since Seth's family disowned him when he was a teen.

Right now Dean and Roman where talking about thier upcoming match. Though the shield broke up, they will worked alot with each other. Dean pauses when he hears his phone ring and answers it and it auto goes to speaker phone since the call display shows it's the LAPD.

Dean chews his lip "Hello this is Dean."

"Mister Ambrose this is detective James with the LA PD."

Dean nods, "I know, Roman is here as well."

James sighs softly on his end, "We raided a brothel.. and found.. We found Seth."

Dean's eyes go wide and he stutters in shock, "You found him.."

James voice seems hesitant, "he's at the ER of Mercy General hospital.. Mr Ambrose.. you.. You need to get down here. I won't lie.. it's bad."

Dean's heart skips a beat and then he whispers, "we're on our way."

Roman stands and both of them quickly leave the arena. Roman already texted Hunter what happened and didn't bother to get approval. Dean was in shock. After Hunter and Stephanie spent thousands on Pi's and trying to find a lead or anything. Dean even tried his own ties in Cincinnati but nothing was ever found.

Dean fidgets on the ride and as soon as they arrive at the ER, they burst into the ER. Detective James though grabs them before they get far in. Detective James had made it his personal mission to find Seth because of Roman and Dean aways calling him. He wanted a happy ending. He knew what the slave ring did after France started sharing more information and shared as much as he could with Dean and everyone. The way he looked now though scared Dean more those stories. James looked like he saw a ghost.

James looks at Them and leads them into a room with a doctor, "Gentlemen this is doctor Dallas."

James looks at them, "I don't know the full story.. Seth .. well none of them are talking. One of the girls ran away and called the police. What little paperwork we got was that Seth was sold to the brothel a couple weeks ago. The lucky part was that he wasn't open to the general public because of his fame. He was, from the papers, to be retrained and sold. They couldn't keep someone that high profile in the brothel. We don't know much beyond that. The way Seth acts though.. He.. He has been through hell."

Doctor Dallas smiles warily at them, and then clears her throat, "Seth was brought in by the Police 3 hours ago. He is in the worst shape out of all of the people they rescued today. He's scared, he won't make eye contact. There's a lot of scaring.. and.. he panics if someone comes close to him. We had to forcefully sedate him to get him examined. He has old breaks that have healed that he didn't have in his file before this. He's suffering from obvious malnutrition. I .. I think you may need to consider institutionalizing him. He already assaulted one intern and is violent. He won't let anyone near him and nearly put a cop in the hospital."

Dean stands there even more shell shocked. He though Jumps when Roman yells loudly, "We're not locking him up like some animal."

Dean nods, "we want to see him."

Doctor dallas frowns at them, "he's a danger to anyon.."

She was cut off by Roman getting in her face, "take us to him"

Dean glares at her and then while she leads them, he texts Hunter and Stephanie to come to the hospital because they need them.

Dallas sighs, "He's going to need a lot of help Mr Ambrose and 24 hour care."

Dean nods, "and we'll get it.. now take us to him.. or I'm going to be suing this hospital."

Dallas points to the door, "he's in there."

Dean walks over with Roman and opens the door. The room is dark because the lights are off but Dean can barely make out a figure in the corner. Seth is curled up in the corner, having ripped out the IV's. Even curled up, Dean can tell he's extremely thin. His hair was still blond and black someone must have kept that up. There was no cocky grin or even the soft brown eyes that Dean use to adore. Instead there's almost vacant brown eyes but they're looking at the floor. Seth has his legs pulled against his chest and he's rocking back and forth. Dean and Roman walk in and Dean gets a text that the authority is on their way with a doctor and lawyers.

Dean looks over at Seth and frowns softly when Seth sees them. He looks terrified and starts to pull at his own hair, "No.. not this again.. Your not real.. your not real."

Dean moves to try and touch Seth and he curls up tighter to the wall. Seth starts mumble something, "your not real.. your not real. Master said that you would never want me near you ever again.. your not real."

Roman cocks his head, "we're real Seth, We're real."

Seth whimpers, "you always say that.."

Dean finally moves as fast as he can and grabs Seth, pulling him into his lap and whispers, "We're real into Seth's hair." Dean winces when Seth bites him out of fear. Seth whimpers when blood touches his lips and he looks up at Dean with red lips, "your real.."

Dean nods and whispers, "very real... can you not bite me again though."

Roman watches and kneels down beside them and runs his finger over Seth's back, "We're both real baby.."

"I'll be punished.. I'm sorry.. I didn't.." Seth screams.

Roman whispers, "Seth no one is going to hurt you. We're going to keep you safe"

Dean and Roman's hearts drop as there's a ragged sob from Seth. Seth's hand knots in Dean's shirt and his whole body shakes with the force of the sob. Roman sits on the ground and rests his hand on Seth's back as the sobs keep coming. Dean closes his eyes and whispers over and over, "your safe Seth."

Seth is still feeling the effects of the earlier drugs passes out after a couple minutes, Dean lays him on the bed. Roman mumbles softly, "Stephanie texted that she is outside."

Dean nods, "I don't trust that doctor.. something is wrong.."

Roman nods and they leave the room, just to stand outside the door. Doctor Dallas is there and Dean looks at her, "when can we take him?"

Doctor Dallas raises his eyebrow, "He's a danger to himself and ours. He needs to go to the psych ward. I can't let him go."

Stephanie steps into the hall way, "Doctor." She states calmly. Taking over before Roman punched someone.

Doctor Dallas looks at her, "Seth isn't going to be released."

Stephanie smiles sweetly, "but he is and Dean is Seth's Next of kin therefore; he can sign him out under his care, Doctor. We have a therapist and my own personal doctor flying in right now. Your services are no longer required."

Doctor Dallas looks shocked, "your firing me."

Stephanie smiles ever so sweetly, "Yes we are. So my suggestion is to get a nurse to draft up the paper work and do not come anywhere near Seth or these men."

Dean mumbles, "get the fuck away from us."

Stephanie smiles at Dean reassuringly and then looks the doctor, "if I where you.. I'd do what he says."

Doctor Dallas storms away.

Stephanie watches and then looks at Hunter who's walking up, "Hunter.. Something.. was wrong with her. We need to have her checked out."

Dean nods, "I.. I think she wants him to stay for some reason."

Roman shakes his head, "We need to get Seth out of here. If she wants him to stay.. it worries me that they're going to try to come for him."

Hunter nods and then speaks lowly, "Detective James thinks that the ring is going to try to get Seth again as well. So that doctor could be with them. The people they arrested where bailed out. They will try to get their property back."

Roman frowns, "lets just take him now. I don't trust this place anymore."

Stephanie nods, "Our doctor is at the Apartment we have set up for you guys."

Dean nods and goes back into the room quickly and wraps the blanket around Seth and gently picks Seth up. He's relieved that Seth doesn't wake as he carries him out of the hospital. Dean crawls in with Seth first and sides to a corner, pulling Seth against his chest and letting his head rest on his shoulder. Roman ends up with Seth's legs in his lap beside them. Everyone else then gets in and Randy gets in last shutting the door.

Dean looks at Hunter, "Now what though."

Hunter looks at them, "we'll hide you guys. We'll set everything up and security as well. Hopefully they see it's too much trouble."

Dean nods and chews his lip. Roman runs his hand through his hair.

Stephanie leans forward, "We will protect you all to the best of our abilities. We already got an apt set up and we will make sure you guys have everything."

Dean nods, "Thank you."

Roman nods and looks at Seth who's still sleeping, "I hope we .. get some of him back."

Stephanie nods, "me too."

Flash back

Seth looks at the man that entered the room. He was tall, probably as tall as Roman and built like Hunter in his prime. He has long black hair and pale skin. Seth looks up at him and glares, "who are you"

The man sits in chair one of the guards brings in, "I'm your master.. that's what you will referre to me as."

Seth shakes his head and tries to move his wrists that are tied tightly together, "fuck you"

The man smirks, "already working on earning yourself a punishment Pet?"

Seth growls softly, "what the fuck do you want from me."

The man smirks, "I spent a lot of money on getting you. You will be my pet and my obedient little pet."

Seth lunges at the man only to be caught by a guard. The man stands and smirks, "it appears.. I need to beat some obedience into you."

The guard drags Seth out of the room and into the adjoining room. Seth's eyes go wide at the room. There's various torture tools and a bullwhip sits on the wall. Seth's breathing comes in sharp shallow breaths and he tries to pull away from the guard in fear. Seth breaks a little and sobs, "Please i just want to go home.."

The man smiles softly at him, running his hand over Seth's cheek, "shhh you are home beautiful."

Seth sobs as he's strapped onto a large x like thing where his hands are untied and strapped into the top part. His legs are spread and cuffed into the bottom. He struggles but he's held securly. The man called Master whispers, "this is the St Andrews cross. You should remember this so when I send you to it, you know where to go."

Seth sobs harder, "please.. let me go."

The Man picks up a collar. He shows Seth the tag attached to the collar and it says Pet. The man then locks it around Seth's neck and tugs on it, ensuring it's secure. The man then picks up the bullwhip off the wall. Seth turns his head when he sees this and cries softly. The first crack of the whip, Seth screams. On the second crack Seth sobs out, "Dean.. save me."

The man laughs, "they're not coming."
