Campbell finds himself in Downtown Nashville, crashing to the ground in the middle of the road. He has tackled nothing but gravel and air. A car horn blares, followed by the swerving of tires as Campbell pushes himself up. He darts to the side, narrowly missing the car.
The car halts though, spinning around and blocking his path.
Campbell tenses up and faces the car head on as two other cars surround him. What's going on? Where's Vladdy and Brayden?
Suddenly a well-dressed man walks forward from the front of one of the vehicles. He is calm and composed as he greets Campbell. "Amalie Retail Worker," the man says. "My name is Gary Bettman."
Oh, this is Bettman, Campbell thinks to himself.
Bettman stops a few feet from the first car that had skittered before him and makes to resume talking.
Campbell cuts him off with, "Where am I? What do you want? Where's Vladdy and Brayden? Where's Jimmy Vesey and Auston Matthews? What is going on here?"
Bettman smirks at him and...
A. gestures to the car behind him, as the backseat door is opened up to reveal Brayden and Vladdy, sitting in the back, tied up and gagged.
B. gestures to the car behind him, as the backseat door is opened up to reveal Brayden and Vladdy sitting in the back.
C. says, "Who are they?"
D. says, "We need to talk." He then gestures to the car as the backseat door is opened up and it is empty inside.

Kuch glances at Auston and Vesey, who have the mirror still and he whines, "Those aren't my Uncles! I want to go home! To Tampa! To Amalie!" He then pushes against Sidney, trying to get free, but Sidney's grip on him tightens.
Kuch screams. "NO!! PALLY!!"
Sidney suddenly clamps a hand over his mouth and whispers into his ear. "Shut up, you ungrateful child! I'm your motherly second father! Palat doesn't deserve you!"
Kuch blinks and whimpers. What the fook?
Sidney then removes his hand and changes his attitude, saying warmly, "Now go play with your brother, Kuch. And Beau and I can make you some nice cookies made from my love."
Kuch gulps and looks at Cram, who rolls his eyes and grumbles to himself.
Sidney then looks at Cram and says obviously threateningly, "Play nicely with your twin brother, otherwise you'll never see 'Maxi' again."
Kuch feels the change in Cram, sensing his inner feelings about it (some weird "twin" thing) and he cocks his head in curiosity, while Auston and Vesey share a look with one another, smirking devilishly.
"Matthews, Vesey, keep an eye on the two and - you know - if Cram acts out, show him his friend. Now I must go bake some cookies, come Beau!" There is a bizarre, demonic sparkle in Sidney's eyes as he nods to Beau and then spins and walks off.
Kuch pads over to Cram and looks at him with worried puppy eyes.
Cram shouts out, "I can go see Maxi whenever I want, Crosby!"
Vesey laughs, "I don't think you should call your father that, for one. And for another, you shouldn't be so stubborn!"
A. Vesey rounds Cram and Kuch
B. Auston shows him Maxi, who is bleeding and trapped in a dungeon-like room
C. Kuch hugs Cram
D. Cram says, "Don't tell me what to do!"

Cram manages to shove Kuch off of him and he strides off because he has better things to deal with. He grumbles to himself as he walks away but Kuch skips after him and cuts him off. He jams Kuchereon into Cram's face.
"Crammy, stay!!" Kuch shouts out.
Holy 's' this is annoying, Campbell thinks to himself. He feels for Cram, who bats the Vaporeon away to the ground and continues walking off at a quicker speed.
Kuch frowns and picks Kuchereon up, speaking to it in Russian and then instantly brightens back up and trots after the Duck rookie once more.
"So Kuch has a death wish and is a stalker, but that doesn't answer my first question...where's Vladdy?" Campbell snarls at Kesler.
"Go toward the ice and see for yourself," Kesler casually retorts with a sly smirk growing on his face.
Campbell misses it and rolls his eyes, annoyed with the mysterious Ducks. He walks off and heads down a tunnel toward the ice. He emerges on the other side and...
A. Is instantly attacked by two masked men (Hi, Auston Matthews and Jimmy Vesey)
B. Finds Vladdy standing at center ice, looking around
C. (Take a good guess at what I'm putting here) - Vladdy tied to a pole about to be lit on fire by Cram (and a crazed Kuch, who almost doesn't care about Vladdy)
D. Nothing...what is Kesler's game?
