Chapter 20-Disappearing into the night

The Boise beauty Torrie Wilson frantically followed Layla down to the river bank. Her ribs were in agony but she had to catch up with Layla.

The beautiful British diva Layla had never ran so fast in her life. She stumbled over trees and rocks but the only thing that was in her mind was getting to her true love Cody Rhodes.

The terrified Layla got down to the riverbank. She looked out to the water to see if there was any sign of Shane or Cody. Torrie wasn't far behind. As Torrie approached the bottom of the hill she saw put her head in the river.

Torrie ran over and pulled Layla back up. She screamed "What are you doing?"

Laylas eyes were filled with water from the river and tears. She screamed back "Where is he Torrie?"

The two of them looked up to the bridge as they heard the sound of sirens. There were loads of police cars and police vans along with 2 ambulances. The police rushed down to the riverbank where Layla and Torrie were.

The Paramedics immediately went to Layla and Torrie. The beautiful blonde girlfriend of John Cena was wrapped with a blanket. Torrie watched as two other paramedics tried to get Layla to go with them.

The brunette haired Brit had to be pulled by both paramedics.

She screamed "What about Cody? I am not leaving until I see him come out of the water."

The female paramedic tried to calm Layla down "The police will find him Miss. We are just going onto the bridge. We can check you over while you look down."

Layla still struggled but they were able to take her back up the hill.

The two divas looked down as police divers were sent into the water. The paramedics had faced the ambulances facing the water. Layla couldn't keep her blanket wrapped around her.

The British diva was on edge. She was barely sitting on the seat looking down on the river. She was waiting, hoping to see Cody be pulled to safety.

There was a look of concern on the face of the paramedics. They tried to talk to Layla "Miss we need to get you to the hospital. You and your friend could have sustained internal injuries and if we don't get that checked then they may get worse."

Layla tearfully replied "I am not leaving until I see Cody come out of that water."

The British diva suddenly stood up and looked over the side as she saw movement on the river bank.

Torrie and Layla both stood up and looked over the bridge. The divers started to come out of the water.

Layla screamed down "WHERE IS HE?"

A look of horror came over her face as she saw one of the divers come out holding a river plant. The plant had blood on it.

Layla closed her eyes letting the tears run down her face "Oh my God no"

They watched as keys, a phone, a wallet and shoes were brought from the river. The river was flowing fast with the wind and the rain.

Torrie tried to listen for what the detective was saying. They pointed down the river towards the horizon.

Layla tried to run down the hill but the paramedics all took a hold of her. Torrie painfully knelt down in front of Layla as she tried to get out of the paramedics grip.

She softly tried to talk to Layla "Layla listen to me. If Cody was hurt he might have gone to the hospital. He knew that's where we would go so maybe he will be there waiting for us."

Layla cried "But what if he isn't. I can't live without him Torrie."

The beautiful blonde replied "Don't lose hope Lay. Let's get to the hospital and be there waiting for him. He wouldn't have just disappeared."

Layla stopped struggling and the paramedics let her go. Layla nestled her head into Torrie's shoulder as the paramedics wrapped the blanket around their shoulders and helped them into the ambulance.

Layla took one final look out to the river before the ambulance door was shut.

The police continued to send divers into the water. There was no sign of Shane McMahon or Cody Rhodes and they had to be found.

….

In the hospital there were many people frantically waiting to hear any developments on the whereabouts of Shane McMahon.

The weak but strong willed John Cena snapped at Ted DiBiase "Why haven't we heard anything yet?"

Ted nervously answered "I don't know. The police must have caught them up by now."

The distraught and ashamed sister of Shane McMahon was sat in the corner in complete silence. She was disgusted at everything that her brother had done. She was even disgusted with herself that she never saw it coming. She never thought that her own flesh and blood, her brother that she loved with all her heart was capable of all these atrocities.

Paul Levesque (A.K.A Triple H) suddenly got a phone call. He walked to the corner of the room and took the call. "Ok thank you"

He turned back to everyone who was looking at him with anticipation.

John assertively asked "What is it? Have you heard something?"

Triple H sat down next to his wife. He took a deep breath before talking.

"There is an ambulance on the way here. Layla and Torrie are in the ambulance."

John's face filled with relief. He thought he would never see the love of his life again. Torrie had stood by his side the whole time and he couldn't do anything to save her.

Stephanie asked "Where is Shane?"

Ted snapped "Fuck Shane where is Cody?"

Triple H answered "None of this is official but from what my sources are saying is Cody and Shane went over the bridge into the water and none of them have been found."

John asked "What do you mean none of them found?" People just don't disappear."

Hunter snapped "Look I don't know. If I am honest I am just glad Layla and Torrie are safe."

John pressed the button to call the nurse in. She quickly rushed in thinking there was something wrong.

John assertively said "I need to get down to casualty."

The nurse replied "I am sorry sir that's not possible."

John immediately answered "Look my girlfriend who I love with all that I am was kidnapped and she is now on her way here. Either you get me a wheelchair or something to take me down there or these three are going to take a leg and arm each and carry me."

The nurse shook her head before calling another nurse to help her. They wheeled in a wheelchair with an area to put any drips or other medical things that John needs. John let out a painful noise as they helped him into the wheelchair.

John looked at the nurse as she put a blanket over him. He was only wearing a bed gown so he had to be covered up. He said "Thank you."

The nurse replied "It's fine just go straight to casualty and don't leave the hospital. I am going to come with you."

Ted took the back of the wheelchair and started to push John down to casualty."

…

Back at the bridge the divers came up for a 4th time. The lead diver went over to the detective who was leading the investigation. "There are no sign of any of them sir. There are signs of injury with the blood on rocks and plants. The pattern indicates that the current may have taken the bodies down to sea."

The detective answered "I need to get to the hospital and inform the victims."

…..

As John and the others came into casualty they heard the sound of sirens approaching. Ted held on to the back of John's wheelchair as they looked out to the casualty entrance.

Suddenly Ted felt someone place their hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Eve stood there.

He spoke happily "Oh my God Eve." She flinched as he went to hug her.

She whispered to him "I'm Sorry."

Ted answered "It is ok."

Stephanie walked up to Eve with tears in her eyes. She whispered "I'm so sorry Eve. If I had known what he…."

Eve moved her hand in front of Stephanie's mouth to stop her from talking. Eve painfully said "Where is he?"

Before anyone could answer the doors opened. Both Layla and Torrie were wheeled in.

Torrie painfully got out of her seat and ran slowly to John. She wrapped her hands round him. They were both in a lot of pain but none of them cared.

John had tears in his eyes as he softly kissed Torrie. "I thought I had lost you."

Torrie let out a tiny giggle "I guess that makes us even."

Stephanie and Triple H tried to talk to Layla but she brushed past them and went straight to Eve.

Both of their eyes were filling with tears. The two of them looked straight into each other's eyes. The gorgeous brunette slowly limped to Eve and they gently hugged.

Their attention was drawn to the entrance doors again as they saw two police officer and a detective walk through.

They came up to Layla and said "Miss, may we have a word."

Layla looked around at all of her friends. Stephanie had her shoulder rested on Triple Hs shoulder. Eve couldn't let Ted touch her but she had her hand softly touching his shoulder showing that she still loved him. John and Torrie were sat in their separate wheelchairs holding each other's hands like an old couple in a retirement home.

Layla turned back to the detective. She tried to wipe the tears away from her eyes before saying "Whatever you are about to say affects all of us. So you can tell all of us."

The detective agreed and asked the receptionist to use the large waiting room.

Layla and Eve held each other as they went into the room. Ted and Hunter pushed in Torrie and John and Stephanie and the detectives followed on afterwards.

When they were all positioned the detective closed the door.

He looked around at them all and started to speak.

"We have been searching the river for a Mr. Shane McMahon and a Mr. Cody Rhodes. We have been unable to locate their bodies but have found a number of objects and things belonging to them. We have also found evidence that one or both of them have been seriously injured. We are conducting an intensive search in a ten mile radius but the time they fell into the water was over two hours ago. We will continue the search but our experts believe that if the bodies were injured then the rate and sheer force of the current has taken them down to the sea."

The British diva Layla fell to her knees. She fell to the ground sobbing and crying uncontrollably. Stephanie McMahon had tears in her eyes. Despite everything he had done Shane was still her brother.

Triple H held Stephanie close to him. John and Torrie just looked down at the state that Layla was in. None of them had the right words to say. None of them knew just what to do.

Eve was frozen still. She had no expression, no emotion on her face. She gently placed her hand on Ted's. She didn't hold his hand just touched it. She saw tears start to fall down DiBiase's face.

Layla kept crying over and over again "Cody you can't leave me."

The detectives left the room shutting the door behind them. There was a stunned silence.

Torrie left John's side and walked over to kneel down next to Layla. She tried to hold her close to her shoulder but Layla let go and let out a screaming cry.

"CODY YOU CANT LEAVE ME I LOVE YOU."

…..

The wind was increasing with speed. Little drips of blood were falling from the elbow down to the ground. The groggy and disorientated figure staggered towards the pathway.

His eyes looked up to the sign and saw what he was looking for.

He walked slowly holding his elbow until he reached the place he wanted to go.

He stared at a sign that said "Evergreen Lodge." And then underneath was smaller writing "We help the mentally challenged put their life back on track."

Cody Rhodes looked around before walking towards the front entrance. He opened the door and the receptionist looked at him.

"Can I help you sir?"

Cody replied "Yes. I want to admit myself."

Cody shut the door leaving everything and everyone behind him.

…

A tall black haired man got out of a taxi and handed twenty dollars to the driver. He walked into the airport holding a black suitcase and plane tickets.

He approached a waiting area where there were 6 people reading the newspapers. The black haired man turned around and saw another man stood inside the airport holding an umbrella. He walked over to the man and said "Excuse me sir do you have the time?"

The man put his umbrella down and replied "I do indeed. Do you have something for me?"

He handed him the plane tickets and suitcase. He had a smile on his face and said "I will see you again soon Shane."

The evil Shane had a sick and sadistic smile across his face. He smiled as he answered "Sooner rather than later I hope."

Shane shook the young man's hand before walking over to the ticket desk. The young women said "Where is your destination sir?"

Shane smiled at her "Paris. One way.

She checked his ticket and allowed him to walk through to the entrance of the plane.

She said "Hope you enjoy yourself in Paris."

Shane smiled at her "Don't worry Miss. I will be back."

End of Story.

Shane got away. I know so many people are going to hate me for having him get away with it. For now lol. I have left it open for a sequel which I definitely want to do. I hope to start that before the New Year so look out for that.
