The hotel is in absolute chaos now, people shouting at each other, lovers and friends trying to comfort the ones crying.
"Alright, everyone," Kendall says. "EVERYONE!" The room goes quiet.
"What are we going to do?" Dolph asks. "Zack is really hurt!"
"It looks as if someone took care of him," Kendall says. "I saw tourniquets on the floor next to him."
"Why do they even have those to begin with? They look like the ones hikers use in case of an emergency," Luchasaurus says.
"They had to be prepared for anything," Eddie Kingston says. "Gage is unpredictable."
"How do you know it was Gage?" Kendall asks.
"Because this is his style…" Moxley says. "I mean, he has so many that it is hard to keep track of but cutting is his go to. The burns, he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing which is why they weren't severe. I'm his brother, I know him."
"What was wrong with Black?" Ryder asks. "It looked as if he was…"
"In a trance," Zelina says. "His connection to Buddy has grown stronger."
"What connection?" Briley asks. Zelina sighs, she wasn't sure if she should even be sharing this without her husband's permission.
"He's gifted," Zelina says. "He's connected to me. Says that he can sense and feel things that I'm feeling. It doesn't go both ways for us, but it may be different for them. They are so connected, ever since that first feud. They just kept coming back to each other. What he was doing there was he…I guess, left his body?"
"Left his body? As in astral projection?" Briley asks.
"Yes," Zelina says. "Who would do this to him? To them? I can't imagine…I cannot imagine, Aleister having to witness that and being able to do nothing!"
"I didn't think…" Excalibur starts to say, sighing.
"Think they were capable of that?" Hunter asks.
"You all can go back to your rooms," Kendall says. The Bucks stop Candice, Tomasso and Zelina.
"We…we think maybe you guys might want a bigger room?" Matt asks. "Didn't think you'd want to be alone tonight, Zelina."
"Would there be two beds?" Tomasso asks.
"Here, come on, we'll show you," Nick says, leading them toward the elevators. Excalibur, Abrahantes, and Eddie are all crowding around their lover.
"You look exhausted," Abrahantes says gently rubbing Bryce's face. Bryce just nods.
"Climb on," Eddie says.
"Seriously?" Bryce asks.
"You want to be carried?" Excalibur asks. Bryce sighs, but climbs onto Eddie's back. Dalton grabs onto Ethan's hand.
Kendall sits at the conference table, his team all around him.
"Do we have any indicators as to where they are being held?" Kendall asks. "Were you able to trace where the pictures came from?"
"No, sir," Becky says. "All we know is that they all came from the same phone. They have a hacker on their side so it makes things trickier."
"Well, we can hope that by getting Dolph involved that will cause a rift between them," Kendall says. "Luger can't have signed on for that."
"So they did it behind his back?" Ryder asks.
"How many predators do they have on their team?" Natasha asks, staring at the picture of Buddy. "It's obvious whoever did this, didn't wear a condom. He was even stupid enough to ejaculate in him. How many more men are going to be hurt? We need to find them."
"And we will," Kendall says. He looks down at his phone. "It's Ollie." He puts the phone on speaker answering it. "What is it, Ollie?"
"Sir, we found Johnny Gargano's car," Ollie says. "It was found in Alabama, sir."
"Alabama?" Ryder asks. "They crossed state lines?"
"They are smart, they probably took back roads the whole way," Kendall says. "Okay, I'm sending you and Jensen to the scene. Maybe one of the kidnappers owns property near there."
"It won't be easy to find," Becky says. "We already checked the list of properties each one owns."
"Then, we'll look again," Kendall says. "But this time, we look up any known aliases."
