Only moments after Bret had radioed Ryder about his new intel, Ryder had quickly made his way to Hart's locker room, stepping inside rather hastily, quickly locking the door behind him, not taking the chance of anyone walking in. "What the hell do you mean 'they know'?" Cutting right to the chase, his voice holding hidden panic and urgency within it.

"I mean they know that Rose is in the basement, something about they heard her screaming down there earlier," Hart informed, leaning back slightly in his seat, sounding uninterested in the whole ordeal. Of course, Bret had no interest in Steve, Shawn, or Rose. Matter of fact, he disliked two of them and despised one. The only reason he had even agreed to help Ryder with this whole Rose business was it was an opportunity to throw Shawn and Steve off their rhythms for a while. If they were distracted, they wouldn't be wrestling properly, and if they didn't impress the boss, they would have no chance at the or any championship.

"Why that little-" Ryder huffed out in annoyance, Rose had potentially ruined his whole damn plan! All Steve and Shawn had to do, was to find a way to the basement and everything would be over! "Alright, alright." He began, pacing the room as he attempted to think out a new plan. "So we have to move her. Do you know anywhere else in this building that no one else knows about?" He asked, watching as Bret stood, shaking his head.

"Look, pal. My job at first was to get you Rose. I did it, and well, might I add." He began, stepping over to Ryder. "My second job was to be your little spy or whatever that bullshit was you had me do, I found out crucial information, now you have it. And now... you're wanting me to help you hide her? You're better off just getting her out of this arena if you don't want them to find her so damn badly."

Ryder couldn't argue that Bret made a good point, there was no reason to keep her in the building any longer. They had already freaked both men out and proven their point on just how well they could hide her at will, given that she was behind a locked door that even the staff believed no one had access to. He had to take her back to the hotel and form a new plan. "Fine. We'll go with your idea, I'll get her out of the building. The last thing I need from you tonight is to make sure Shawn, Steve, and those other two are nowhere near me when I'm moving her." He stated, a new, urgency filling his tone.

Bret simply scoffed slightly. "You sure are asking for a lot tonight. Going to have to pay me a little extra you know-" Bret began but was cut off by Ryder. "Yes, of course. I'll make sure your pay is increased for your assistance if we move her quickly and with no issues, agreed?" He asked, watching as Bret nodded. "Agreed. Though... how exactly are you planning on getting past the guards to get back to the basement? especially since security is all over this building." Bret couldn't help but ask.

Ryder laughed at the question, shaking his head slightly. "You don't have to worry about that. My boss and I have quite a few connections that will make that part the easiest part of my night. You just worry about keeping those four away long enough for me to make the transfer, understood, Hart?" Ryder asked, glancing back to Bret as he turned to head out of the door, hand resting on the handle ready to begin.

Bret nodded and stood from his seat, following Ryder to the door. "Understood, I expect my pay by tomorrow afternoon." He finished as Ryder opened the door, both men stepping out into the hallway, one heading towards the basement, the other towards a certain locker room to keep a group of people distracted. This had certainly turned into an interesting night.
