Chapter 2:
The Show Must Go On

"Well we sure kicked his ass," Adam said, delighted.

"It was a good idea to call SiNN. We've stopped two gang rapes and three stabbings in the past two nights!" Jay exclaimed excitedly. "It makes you wonder how he manages it. It's a bit suspicious how SiNN would know all these things were about to happen. I've always wondered how he does it."

"Didn't you know he's psychic?" Chris asked, shocked.

"Oh. No. I just assumed he...well I actually I've never thought about how he does it until now," said Jay, a little embarrassed.

"You'd do well to question your orders in future Jay or you could someday land yourself in serious trouble," Chris warned.

"Yeah yeah mother," yawned Adam. "Me and Jay are gonna hit the gym while you catch up on sleep. See you outside the SmackDown! venue later." The three men said their goodbyes and parted ways.

Hours later...

"We've been waiting for Chris for an hour and a half. He's not answering his cell, he's not responding to e-mail, and he hasn't even updated his freaking Twitter account. No-one else has seen him since he went back to the hotel earlier. The staff never saw him leave the premises," Adam explained to management.

"Well what are we going to do about tonight's show? Chris is in several segment s tonight and is a main-event star. We need him," Teddy said.

"Surely we can give a mid-card story a push in one or two of the segments and give Adam different competition in the main event?" Jay suggested. The management officials discussed it for a few minutes before agreeing and the SmackDown! show continued.

By the end of the show, there had still been no sign of Chris. Already there were rumours on wrestling sites on the Internet that Chris had not been present due to serious illness, being on a drunken binge with a lover (most commonly reported as being Kelly Kelly), or had simply decided his ego was so big that why should he obey everything management told him to and turn up to every show. Despite Chris' disappearance, the show had been a success and many fans were not too displeased. Management were concerned as to where Chris was but tried to remain calm, suggesting no serious action should be taken until the next day's flight, when Chris would be sure to turn up. Adam and Jay, on the other hand, were panicking. They knew something was wrong with Chris- he would have left some sign as to where he was going, but he'd just...vanished.

Adam and Jay were right to be worried, for Chris was locked up in a warehouse at that moment, just stirring back to consciousness after receiving a beating round the head in the back of someone's car.

"C'mon dude what are you playing at? If you wanted to do some creepy sex act you only had to ask," Chris half-joked. The shadowy figure across the warehouse turned to look at Jericho, tied up so pitifully. The figure grinned before stepping out into the dim light where Chris could see him.

"What the-" said Chris, shocked as he recognised his captor.
