John had called Christian and Maria and explained his theory. They were now on their way to see if Layla and her little boyfriend had checked into the hotel they were presently staying in. He called a few of his other friends and explained to them as well. Alex Riley, CM Punk, Tyson Kidd and Chris Jericho were all on the lookout for anything suspicious. He had also alerted Vince who had hung up and was now on his way to their hotel. John changed into his Green shirt and his wrestling shoes. He was ready to kick some ass.

Nikki had fallen asleep and Daniel had tied her back up before Layla, Evan and Randy came back in. He had told them he had knocked her out and that he hadn't taken his mask off, meaning Nikki wouldn't know who he was. But Nikki did know who he was and she wasn't aware of his little plan.
She awoke to the sound of voices and she tried to sit up but realized her legs and arms had been bound together again. She tried out but no-one paid attention. She tried to shout for Daniel. This caught the attention of Layla.
"What did she just say?" Layla walked closer to Nikki and removed the gag that was preventing her from talking.
"DANIEL! HELP ME!" was all she shouted before the gag was replaced.
The three wrestlers turned around to Daniel Bryan before leaping onto him and beating him until he couldn't stand up. He was then tied up and put in the opposite room. Nikki cried as her only hope was dragged off, away from sight. Layla walked over to Nikki before slapping her repeatedly in the face, scratching her at the sam time. Nikki refrained from kicking out as she knew the other two men were watching her intently. When Layla finally gave up, she went and joined the other men in the corner. After getting involved in their conversation, Nikki realized that they weren't paying much attention. She was now sitting on her knees and she tried tugging at whatever her hands had been tied with. She kept tugging and eventually she felt them getting more loose by the second. She tried to not look to happy as she freed her hands. She stayed in the same position and let out a small cry of pain, assuring the other trio she was still tied up and in pain. She began work on the thick rope around her ankles. This was a lot easier as her hands were free.
"Me and Orton will go and get some supplies. We need any food?" Evan stood up and after asking Layla 101 questions patted his pockets and left with Randy Orton in tow.
"Are you sure you'll be okay with her?" They asked her. Layla just laughed at them and told them not to be long.
Nikki continued to work at the knot on her ankles and when she finally got free, she massaged each limb to make sure they were strong enough to hold and fight. As Layla turned her back on the former Diva's Champ, Nikki leapt out of the bed and put her arms around Layla's neck, squeezing as tight as she could. She managed to get Layla to her knees before She started to elbow Nikki off. Layla was in shock that her prisoner had managed to get free.
"He don't love ya you know!" Layla screamed at Nikki. Nikki just scoffed as she backed against a coffee table. She felt her hand touch something glass. She guessed it was a vase and kept her hands on it in case she had to throw it at Layla.
"I gave him your engagement ring and text him saying you didn't love him and you know what his reply was? You want to know?" Layla grinned like a Cheshire cat. Nikki squinted her eyebrows signaling for Layla to tell her.
"His reply was doesn't matter, I have Layla anyway'" With that comment, Nikki hurled the glass object as Maxine and it hit her square in the head. Nikki ran to the opposite room to find Daniel just waking up.
She untied his hands and legs and tried dragging him out until he was able to support himself. He stood up and made a run for the door as Layla did the same thing. She picked up the remote which was next to her and threw it as Nikki's head. It made a small thud as it landed on the ground, totally unaffecting Nikki. Daniel ran out of the room to go find help as Nikki turned around and went for Layla. She wasn't leaving this bitch able to walk out. She jumped and both women landed on the ground. Nikki ignored the hairpulling and went straight to laying into Layla's face. She kept going until she heard the door slam and lock. She was violently picked up and thrown against the opposite wall, breaking her wrist and cheekbone as she landed. Evan was the only one of the two who returned and after checking on his girlfriend, they both started kicking the living daylights out of Nikki, beating her unconscious.

Alex, Christian, Punk, Tyson and Chris all stood in John's room while John explained the plan. They were all dressed in their individual shirts and wrestling boots. They had just finished asking questions when the door was basically kicked down to show a very beaten up Daniel Bryan.
"Guys, I've found Nikki, Follow me!" Daniel panted and started racing down the hall.
John was right behind Daniel as they raced down three flights of stairs and passed the really run down rooms. They then went back up one flight but this time on the opposite end of the building. Daniel slowed his pace and motioned for the to be quiet as they reached their destination.
John could hear Layla's voice a mile away. He couldn't make out the precise words but he did hear Nikki's name being mentioned. His heart skipped a beat as he heard her name. The six men prepared themsleves to kick the door down.
"1...2...3!" Chris shouted and all the men started kicking the door. It was locked and shut tight. They heard scrambling from behind the wooden frame, probably by now, Layla had realised someone was here for Nikki, and they weren't wasting any time. Christian took one last kick but it was no use. That door was not shifting. Christian signaled to the others he had an idea. After disappearing and talking on his phone, their back up plan arrived.
Sheamus.
After setting up for the Brouge Kick, he kicked the door down in one swift moment. The men all rushed in. John was he first to find Nikki, unconscious on the floor. She was so badly beaten up, it made everyone else whimper. Her face wa covered in blue and purple blotches and her wrist was bent into a funny shape. She stirred slightly as John lifted her up in his arms. After searching for Layla and not finding anyone, they all left and called their partners to say they had found Nikki. They had also called an ambulance and they were sending one straight away.
John took Nikki back to their room and placed her on the bed. He sat on the left hand side of her and when Maria and Christian arrived, they took the right hand side. Maria held out her hand and lent frowned. She dropped the engagement ring into his hands and told him to put it onto her. He slowly slipped it on and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.
Nikki was taken to hospital along with Daniel. John sat in the back with her and held her hand all the way. Praying she would wake up and still love him the way she did before. Praying she would be okay.
