"Not a chance, it's your turn to drive Daniel," Brie Bella laughed as she looked at the pretend disappointment on her husband's face.

"But I want to have a drink! I'll drive next time." Daniel Bryan moaned, carrying on with the play acting.

Brie laughed again as she pushed her way through a set of double doors and exited the building. The cold air hit her and took her by surprise as she said, "You said that last time."

Daniel followed her outside, pulling his case behind him. The cold also assaulted him and he zipped up his coat against it. It was easy to forget how cold it was outside when you were in an air conditioned arena all night. "Why don't we just stay in the hotel? We can both have a drink and then we can crawl into one of those big comfy beds and..."

Brie cut him off, "I'm not staying in a hotel when we are less than an hour from home. I'll make you a deal: We'll both go eat an expensive dinner, I'll have a few drinks, you drive us home and then we can crawl into our own big comfy bed and do whatever it was you were about to say?"

Daniel decided that he didn't want to argue with that proposal. "I'll hold you to that."

They had made it most of the way across the parking lot towards where their car was parked. This was what happened when you were one of the last people to show up for Raw, you could only get a spot far away from the entrance. Daniel pushed the button on his keys to unlock the car and he saw the lights flash once in response. He saw that the windshield had iced over, it really was incredibly cold tonight. He walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. He tossed his case into it and then did the same with the one that his wife had just wheeled next to him. As he slammed the trunk shut he looked at the mist that was descending over the parking lot and making the few lights that were working give off a strange kind of glow. "It's going to snow tonight Brie, are you sure about that hotel room?"

Brie giggled, "You're going to tell me that you can't drive in snow now?" She opened the passenger door.

Daniel walked around to the driver's door and noticed that Brie hadn't got into the car. "Brie?"

Brie narrowed her eyes and she looked across the parking lot. "Daniel... what's that?"

Daniel looked in the direction that she was staring. "That's a car Brie. There's one here if you'd like to get into it."

Brie took a couple of steps forward and was still staring in the same direction. "Daniel, come here." Noting her tone and realising she was serious Daniel walked around the car and looked in the direction that she was staring. "What is that?" She asked.

Daniel couldn't make it out either through the mist that was settling even more rapidly over the parking lot. There was something crumpled up in the gutter in the back corner of the parking lot. Daniel dismissed it, "It's just a bunch of trash."

Brie began to walk hesitantly in the direction of it. "I'm not sure."

"Come on," Daniel moaned. "It's freezing let's just get out of here."

Brie had gotten closer to whatever was lying on the ground and her voice now contained more urgency. "Daniel, come here!"

"For fuck's sake," Daniel mumbled as he wandered towards his wife. Only then did he look at her and he saw that her eyes were wide. "Tell me that's not a person," she breathed.

Daniel stared at the object again. "No of course it's..." Wait, maybe it was a person. It looked like it might be the right size. Worried now, Daniel jogged over towards the object and as he got closer he was able to make out a bare leg. It was a person! There was a person lying in the gutter. He could tell by the slender shape of the leg that it was a woman. As he got even closer her saw long brown dark hair draped over the floor in a mess and some of it was matted together. Finally approaching the woman he realised that he recognised the black dress that was now torn away from her legs. He'd seen that dress earlier, he knew who the woman was! "Stephanie!" He yelled as he ran towards her.

Daniel hadn't realised that his wife was running after him until he heard her scream, "Oh my God!" Daniel bent down over Stephanie and he realised that what was matting her hair together was blood. It was everywhere, all over her forehead and down one side of her face. "Is she dead?" Brie asked frantically.

He checked Stephanie's wrist for a pulse and for a second he thought that she was dead as she was cold to the touch and he didn't find a pulse. He checked a second time and managed to find a very faint pulse. He put the back of his hand just under her nose felt the faintest of breaths against it. "Get an ambulance Brie, now! She's alive but I don't know how long for. There's hardly a pulse and look at all this blood."

Daniel felt himself shaking as he looked at Stephanie. He had never seen anything even close to this in his life before. Only then did he take in the torn dress that had been ripped away from her legs. He saw that her underwear was missing and there were marks on the insides of her legs. "Oh my god," he groaned in disgust as he averted his eyes.

Behind him he heard his wife on her phone telling them to get an ambulance there now. Daniel feared that they would be too late. He hadn't touched Stephanie or tried to move her in any way but he could tell that whoever had done this had cracked her skull with something and left her for dead, as well as the obvious. He took his coat off and covered her lower body up, it shouldn't be exposed to the world like that.

Daniel was no medic and he didn't have any real knowledge of first aid but he did know that Stephanie had lost way too much blood and she was way too cold. He wasn't sure if he should move her, so he decided not to.

Brie was done on the phone and she handed her coat to Daniel. "Cover her up, try to keep her warm."

Daniel covered Stephanie with the coat and said, "Go fetch Paul and Vince."

Brie ran away towards the arena entrance and Daniel was unsure what to do next. Where was the fucking ambulance? He knew there was not going to be a response but he had seen people talk to unconscious people on the TV so he assumed they did it for a reason. "Help is on its way Steph, just hang on, please!"
