Beginning of the End.

[jason]

Things hadn't gone as Jason had planned for that match. he had be hoping to use his size and strength to eliminate the others leaving only he and his brother in the ring and using that as his reasoning behind what was to follow. Now though he was out and sure that his father who was watching where ever he was would be getting ready to inflict more pain on Sarah unless he came up with something fast. In the backstage area just behind the curtains Jason watched the rest of the match unfold but it was something he had seen back here that gave him an idea of what to do next. There was a camera crew back here no doubt waiting to interview the champs later as they were crowned for the first time. They would no doubt be showing those events live as they happened and so could show anything else interesting enough to grab peoples attention live as well. Grabbing a steel chair and folding it Jason watched as finally his brother started making his way back to the curtains after his brief encounter with Daniel Justice. Thinking fast he called back to the camera man nearby.

Hey you want to see something really interesting get a load of this.

Jason then raised the chair while watching the curtain waiting to strike as his brother came though and the camera man quickly raised his camera and started sending out the feed live as it happened.

[sc]

Steven was disappointed to say the least. he had given Jason one simple task destroy Mark physically tonight and it seems that he had failed. Steven looked over to Sarah who was nearby and very much awake watching the events on the screen unfold as he had he could see the fear in her eyes as his cold gaze turned her way.

Well it seems Jason failed and now once again I'll have to teach him just what happens when he doesn't listen to me. Although the price this time will be quite different then when he was younger, he won't pay with his own physical pain but more the mental pain he suffers when he sees what his failure tonight resulted in for you young lady. I won't lie to you this is going to be very painful, and not near as quick as if your sister had been the one to do it I'm sure , but it must be done, of course you knew that already didn't you.

Steven stepped toward the frightened young woman rolling up his sleeves as he did until he heard Jason's voice on the TV. he looked back and seeing the picture shown just smiled. It looked as if Jason may come through after all to bad he didn't seem to realize that this could only end one way regardless still he would watch and see how this went, there would be plenty of time to play later.

WHAM!!!!

The hit was hard catching him completely off guard. As Mark had stepped through the curtains his brother had brought the chair down on his head as hard as he could. Mark instantly felt his knees buckle from the force of that first blow. Dropping to the ground he rolled onto his stomach trying to protect his face from another attack only to feel the chair brought down on his back once, twice, then a third time. There was no time to recover no time to even try and stand before he felt a massive pair of hands wrap around his throat and lift him to his feet. Wiping the blood from his eyes that had resulted from the first vicious chair shot Jason saw his brother standing there hands still around his neck. Before he could do anything else he felt his brother lift him by the neck and take two maybe three steps forward before sending him crashing down to the stone floor. The pain in Mark's back was worse than anything he had felt before he couldn't even force himself to stand at this point, yet still he kept his eyes on his brother at all times. He watched as Jason grabbed a nearby refreshment table and cleared everything off the top in one sweep of his arms, he then brought the table close to where Mark lay. Mark had a pretty good idea of what was coming next and sure enough Jason turned him over and lifted Mark to his knees, doing the only thing he could at the moment Mark went completely limp it didn't do any good however as his brother used his power to lift Mark into position for a power bomb before brining him back down through the table. Mark expected more to follow boots to the ribs or something like that but it wasn't to be. A small army of officials swarmed the area separating Jason from Mark before further damage could be done.
As quickly as it started it seemed the attack was over Jason left the area under the watchful eye of some officials while the others waited on help for Mark. Somewhere Mark knew the devil was laughing at him and his only thought was for him to go ahead and laugh he'd get his soon enough. Mark was quickly checked out and then loaded into the back of a waiting ambulance to be taken to a local hospital for further observation and tests all this occurring under the watchful eye of the cameras, and yes some where the devil was indeed laughing.

[sc]

In fact the devil behind all this Steven Cross was laughing. For the second time he had turned someone on his son Mark and the idea of what this would do to him both physically and mentally was something Steven relished. Now though there were other matters that needed attending to. Removing a cell phone from his pocket Steven sent a text message to Jason with the address he should go to if he cared to see Sarah again. Then he turned his attention back to the frightened young woman nearby.

You know the best part in all this is that Jason actually believes I'm going to let either of you out of here alive. I mean in all seriousness you would have to see this coming if you could thinkat all, letting you out of here would be sheer stupidity on my part. The two of you would run off to the ploice telling them what I had done and I would spend the rest of my life in Jail or on the run. Seeing as how that would really ruin my business I have running here I just can't let the two of you go, no when Jason shows up I'll force him to watch as you die young lady and then I will in fact return your corpse to him as I have him buried alive. Now lets just wait and see how long he takes to get here shall we.

Steven just laughed at the look of fear that he saw in the young woman's eyes as he waited close to her for the arrival of Jason and the conclusion of his little game with his youngest son. Soon it would be time to deal with Mark directly and that was something he had been waiting for oh so long.

[jason]

As soon as Jason had heard the buzz from his phone he had removed it from his pocket. Instead of a voice on the other end it was simply a text message telling him where to go and to hurry. Knowing finally where to go Jason hurried out of the building to his waiting car. It was time to get Sarah back and make his father pay for what she had gone through.
The drive seemed to take forever but finally Jason had arrived at the warehouse address he was given. Stopping a short distance up the road he looked the place over. Only two guards outside they would no doubt be armed either that or his father was getting stupid now that he thought things were over, which in Jason's mind wouldn't be true until his father paid for things. The vehicle eased forward toward the building. Jason muttering quietly to himself.

Time to end this, and see that old bastard pay.

[wolf]

The guards had expected Jason to be alone, told so by Steven who was positive that for the time being Mark was no longer a factor, so when the vehicle stopped and Jason got out alone the guards started to move toward him. Jason slowly stepped back toward the rear of the vehicle and the guards with smirks on their faces thinking he had nowhere to run and no one to back him up they couldn't have been more wrong. As the guards passed by the rear doors of the vehicle the passenger side rear door shot open catching the guard on that side completely off guard. He yelped as the door caught him at chest level and then stared in shock as Mark stepped out of the rear of the vehicle where he had been hiding. Without missing a beat Mark raised his foot up and slammed it down on top of the fallen guards head one then twice and finally a third time to make sure he wouldn't be getting back up anytime soon.
The guard on the other side of the vehicle also stared on on shock Jason was to have been alone his brother taken out and yet here he was helping to deal with things. The guard regained his bearings in time to look toward Jason as he connected with a spear like he had been known to use when wrestling in Toronto. Driving both of them to the ground some of the rage Jason had been holding onto since seeing what had been done to Sarah came out and he started to mercilessly pound his fists into the poor mans head sending him quickly into unconsciousness and possibly worse from the force of the blows. He continued until he felt Mark's hand on his should and stopped to look at him. As he did Mark punched his own brother in the face as he spoke.

Asshole those chair shots hurt and you were not actually supposed to bust me open like that. Now stop playing with that idiot we have more important things to do here.

Mark went back to the guard he had taken care of and started to remove the man's weapons which consisted of both what appeared to be a police issue taser and a handgun. Then he took the man's hoodie and put it on pulling up the hood while his brother spoke to him.

[jason]

Well sorry about you head there bro but things didn't work out the way we had hoped so I had to think fast. I mean it was do what I did or god only knows what dad would have done to Sarah. At least from the looks of things so far they seem to have bought it and think I did what they asked when it came to taking you out.

Jason helped his brother take the two guards to a nearby dumpster and throw them in so they wouldn't be found, he then turned to his brother and asked one simple question.

So how do we plan to get Sarah out of there alive?

[wolf]

Mark sighed as he heard that question. He hoped she was still alive at this point like his brother and if she was then great, but he wasn't sure why his dad would even consider it at this point when you thought of the fact that she could ID him in all this and that would lead to jail time for him. Still no reason to get Jason thinking that way to so he just answered the question his brother asked him.

Well I thought we might try something like this to get Sarah out of there.

Mark quickly turned and shot the taser at his brother giving the trigger only the barest of squeezes before letting go. Still it was enough to knock the bigger man for a loop and leave him dazed. He began to help his dazed brother toward the building but it was slow going due to the larger mans weight. Still they eventually got to where they wished to be standing in front of their father Steven Cross and much to their surprise and relief the still living though obviously hurting Sarah. Mark didn't say a word just waited for his father to peak up instead to see what would come next but his hand rested next to the other weapon he had taken from the guard just incase.

[sc]

Steven couldn't help but smirk as he saw his son look at his wife Sarah like this was all going to be okay, when in fact it wasn't something Jason should have picked up on by now if it wasn't for his mind being so filled with concern for his wife.

Well Jason so glad you could make it to this little get together that I arranged. Now since you probably haven't figured this out yet let me tell you what is going to happen here. You and Sarah are going to die here tonight, first her while you watch and then well i dispose of you in another way after returning her of course, have to keep my word after all. Now personally I wish I had more time to take with this but it's dragged on so long already I think I'll just enjoy the look on your face as I blow your wife's brains out!

Steven noted the horrified look that came across Jason's face as he started to raise the gun he had kept hidden toward the young lady. Less then a second later the sound of a gun shot was heard echoing throughout the building and...

[wolf]

Mark looked on as his father toppled to the ground a bullet buried in his shoulder only moments before he could shoot Sarah. His own weapon still aimed at Steven he pulled the hood back so he could see who had just shot him, and actually liked the look of fear that crossed the old man's face, he obviously knew how this would really end now. Mark turned to Jason who seemed to be rapidly recovering from the taser shot thanks to the adrenalin burst that came with seeing his wife threatened and spoke up.

Get Sarah and get out of here, don't look back don't come back into this building and forget this asshole even lived because after today I guarantee he's not bothering anyone again.

[jason]

He could see the serious look in Mark's eyes and had a pretty good idea where this could all be headed. He wanted to say something to keep his brother from doing this but when he looked as Sarah and saw what kind of shape she was in he just couldn't bring himself to care about what was about to happen to his father in the least. making his way to Sarah he stopped just long enough to plant a couple hard boots into his father's ribs the last kick sending the man skidding a couple feet across the floor and putting distance between him and Sarah. He then turned and knelt down picking up Sarah as gently as he could. Somehow she was conscious right now and Jason could here her mumble something about knowing he'd come to get her.

You'll be okay baby I'm going to get you some help and you'll be fine I swear it.

Jason looked at his brother and his eyes grew hard as he spoke, there was no feeling of pity or remorse as he said what came next.

For what he's done Mark I don't want to ever see him again I don't care what you do that's on your head to have to deal with, I just don't ever want to see him again.

Jason turned then and didn't look back his only concern find Sarah the help she needed, there would be question sure but he would deal with those when the time came for now as always Sarah was the most important thing to him.

[wolf]

Mark started slowly walking toward his father gun still raised and aimed at him. Only one way this could end now and with Jason gone that only made things easier.

Speaking from personal experience I'm betting that bullet wound hurts, well don't worry to much because i don't plan to let you suffer to long you bastard this is long over due and I'd just rather get it done with and move on.

Mark stepped forward the gun raised but before he could pull the trigger his father spoke.

[sc]

Desperate to find a way out of things with his life intact Steven started speaking to his son quickly.

Wait Mark you don't have to do this, just tell Jason I'm gone he'll never know the difference and I'll even give you half the owner ship in these clubs if you do, and I'll even tell you why Lindsay shot you Mark she had no choice I forced her into it threatened her daughter she wouldn't have done that otherwise.

Realizing in his panicked state what a mistake saying that had been he braced himslef for the gunshots to follow which strangly never came.

[wolf]

Mark wasn't at all surprised to hear that his father had something to do with what happened in his being shot, and by all rights he should be furious about it but he just couldn't bring himself to care at this point. Lindsay had made her feelings about Mark quite clear and he just didn't want to go there anymore. The part about the clubs his father had quickly mentioned now that sparked his interest but he had other ideas there.

You know had this happened just a few months earlier I might be able to care about what you had Lindsay do, but now well she hates me and I could no longer care less it's time to move on. As for these clubs you mentioned why split them when i could have them all to myself by simply pulling this trigger. Oh and as far as what to tell Jason it will be the truth because your done here old man, you caused him and Sarah to much pain to let slide, so your road most definitely ends here.

Mark raised the gun again as his father shouted the words NO WAIT... he was certain there would have been more but the four shots fired from the gun to his father's chest cut anything else off. There was nothing else to say at this point and no one left to say it to. Mark turned from the building leaving everything behind he would see about claiming ownership later after thing had died down but until then it was time to try and rebuild what little there was left of his life even if it never would be completely whole again.

THE END...
