(Sean's POV)

How? How could they do this to me? What did I do to deserve this? I did nothing wrong, and yet...I'm punished for it. How can my brother betray me that way? Making my own friends turn their backs on me. Making my girlfriend break up with me, and getting me fired for nothing.

You see. The week before me getting fired, we were cutting a segment in the ring, until they glared at me. Seth said that one member of the SHIELD was making an agreement to the Authority and he claims it was me. I denied it, but they ignored me as they were angry at me for siding with the enemy.

Soon, they attacked me. They hit their own finishers, broke my arms and legs, and Triple Powerbombed me through the Announce Table. I was later taken into the hospital. I was there for months and I had more injuries than I thought I had.

My girlfriend, Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado, broke up with me as she said I went down low as I promised I wouldn't side with the Authority and she doesn't want to see me ever again. I was broken beyond belief as I was fighting to be proven innocent.

But, not too long after that week, Seth betrayed the SHIELD, as it was revealed he was the Authority's Plan B and I was a scapegoat for him. I was mortified for this. Not only did he make my friends turn on me, but he also used me for his benefit. His own brother.

I cut contact with everyone, including my fans. I recovered but, I didn't come back and stayed away from everyone.

I didn't even bother watching WWE as I felt so betrayed by my so-called 'friends' and ex and not giving me the opportunity to speak my side of the story. I didn't even talk to my parents. I was a ghost to people.

Soon, I decided to work at an independent promotion to get back to my feet and wrestle again. And then after three months, I began watching WWE again. I suddenly see Colby on top, having a Money in the Bank Briefcase and going on about how better he was to me, Dean, and Roman. I even heard from other wrestling fans that Sasha was heartbroken that she has yet to find me, as well as everyone else.

Heartbroken....Where were they when I needed them? Where were they when I need someone to talk to? Did they listen to me? Did they consider that I wasn't guilty and that Seth set this all up just to get rid of me?

I...was...livid!!!! They betrayed me, turn their backs on me, calling me names and such, and now...now that the truth was revealed, they feel sorry?!

Those thoughts ran around my head as I tried to proses all of this. It's stupid. It's pathetic. It's...funny? Funny. Hehehehe. Funny-Hehehehahahaha-It's so comical-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I laughed. Laughed like this was all a joke. I was laughing so hard I dropped tears down my eyes.  Though, inside...I wasn't laughing. I was in pain. I was angry. The betrayal, the insults, the beatings, the overall humiliation, and losing my job. And all that happened on one...bad...day.

And I...want them to feel my pain. I want them to have their own bad days. I want them to deal with the suffering they inflicted upon me. No one will be safe. But first...I need to get back onto my feet.

*End of POV. Timeskip, Raw, January 5, 2015*

The Authority came back into power after being out for a month and Seth Rollins threatening John Cena to bring them back by attempting to break Edge's neck. After that, Stephanie fires Eric Rowan, Dolph Ziggler, and Ryback for helping Cena putting them out of power.

The Authority celebrated their victory as Cena and his allies look down in shame and sadness. Seth, Kane, Big Show, and Jaime were backstage, happy to see the rest of Team Cena fired.

Seth: Now that's what I'm talking about. Best decision ever!

Jaime: I agree! Right, Joey? *didn't get a response* Joey?

Suddenly, they notice that Joey wasn't there with them.

Seth: Joey?

Kane: That's weird. He was here with us before.

Jaime: Yeah. I'm going to go find him.

Big Show: Need help?

Jaime: Nah. I'm fine, Show.

He walks out of the room and begins to search for Mercury. He calls him out but got no response as he walks around, not noticing someone was watching him. Soon, Jaime sees a pair of legs and shoes laid down next to a corner and he thought he recognized those shoes.

Jaime: Joey? Why are you on the floor? What happ-

He goes to the pair of legs and grabs one, only to realize it was a leg of a mannequin.

Jaime: What the-

He was then grabbed from behind, startling him as a hand wrapped around his mouth. He tries to struggle, but he slowly got knocked out as the hand had a cloth of chloroform. Slowly, he was dragged away as barely anyone saw this.

*later*

Jaime and Joey haven't returned yet as Stephanie and Hunter came back from the stage. They asked where are they and the three didn't have any clue. So, they begin searching for J&J Security. Soon, Kane found something interesting.

Kane: Guys, look what I found.

Seth: A present?

Triple H: Is this a joke, Kane?

Kane: What? No. I found this. It was laying there in the middle of nowhere.

Stephanie: It doesn't seem to have any tag on it.

Big Show: Should we open it?

Triple H: Alright. Let's see what's inside.

They nod as Kane takes off the ribbon and opens the box...only to find another box.

Seth: This has to be a prank. I bet that Lunatic Ambrose is pranking us again.

Big Show: Even Ambrose wouldn't put a box inside another box.

Kane opens the other box, and again...another box.

Triple H: This is getting ridiculous. Kane, throw it away-

Soon, he got a notification. He checks his phone and sees an unknown number with the text...continue...Don't throw it away. There's a message inside.

Stephanie: What is it, honey?

Triple H: Someone texted me saying don't throw it away.

Seth: Who?

Triple H: I'm not sure. It's just a number.

Suddenly, another notification was heard. This time from Seth's phone. He checks and sees an unknown number saying, 'I'm watching you.'

Seth: I got an unknown number as well.

Stephanie: What did it say?

Seth: It said 'I'm watching you.'

Big Show: This has got to be a prank.

Triple H: Okay let's calm down and continue opening the box.

Kane opens the other box and a smaller, rectangular box emerges from within. He grabs it and opens it. This time it wasn't another box. It was a card.

Kane: It's a card.

Seth: A card?

He picks it up and turns it around...only to have his eyes widen. Everyone looks at him, confused until he shows them the card.

Seth: What the-

Suddenly, another notification was heard. Seth checks and sees it's from Jaime Noble.

Seth: It's Jaime.

They turn to him as he checks the message. A video pops up and text saying, 'play this'.

They press the video as everyone got closer to see what's in. And what's in the video...was something they never seen before.

*video*

We see darkness. Just darkness. However, there's a faint sound of heavy breathing. Soon, a light turns on, revealing Jaime Noble and Joey Mercury tied onto chair against each other's backs. They also have tape on their mouths.

But, they also look beaten and bloodied. Their shirts are ripped up and into pieces. Both look miserable. What's strange is that Jaime has a blonde/black wig on his head. Suddenly, the phone gets picked up and it goes to Jaime.

A hand soon emerges and rips the tape off his mouth, making him flinch.

?: Knock knock.

Jaime: W-who are you?

?: That's not important right now. Knock knock.

Jaime: W-Who's there?

?: Cruella Deville called. She wants her hairdo back.

He gets smacked in the face as the cameraman laughs.

?: Wait...wait. What is your name?

Jaime: J-Jamie Noble.

?: Are you the real Seth Rollins?

Jaime: N-no.

?: No? No?*chuckles as he takes off the wig* Then why do you have hair like his?

He laughs and plays with the wig in front of Jaime's face and the camera. He drops it as he grabs Jaime's face and makes him face the camera.

?: Now tell me. What did Seth do that got those scumbags back into power? Huh?

Jaime: H-He threatened to paralyze Edge if Cena didn't bring back the Authority.

?: And when Cena did do that, what did Seth do next?

Jaime: H-He decided to break his neck anyway.

?: Oof. Now that's cold, right? He betrayed his own brother, though. So, it doesn't matter to him. Maybe it doesn't matter if you were in Edge's place, right?

Jaime: N-No. H-He would never do that to me. Not even Joey.

?: Oh. You're so naive. Seth can do anything to get what he wants. He won't hesitate to inflict pain on anyone so things can go his way. And you...you didn't have the right mind to say, he was going too far. Right?

Jaime: I-I-

?: Oh stop with the excuses, Jaime. You know very well I'm right. And look at you and Mercury. All because of one man's greed.

Jaime begins to drop some tears as the cameraman backs away a bit. He sets the camera down and walks towards the tied up men. He then picks up a blunt object and looks at Joey.

?: And sometimes, someone has to suffer the consequences of one's actions. And that someone...is you.

He then picks the blunt objects and slams it onto Joey's chest, making him scream in agony. Jaime tried to look back and fear as the figure continues assaulting Mercury with the object with ruthlessness. He then stops.

?: Now...you look better than the time your face got opened up back in 06. *chuckles*

He walks forward and grabs the camera and goes back to Jaime, who's looking on in fear.

?: Now...all I see is a squealer. Who's so scared for his friend. Now tell me, Jaime...was it funny?

Jaime: *shakes his head* N-no-

He was then hit on the knee, making him yell out in pain.

?: Now, now. We don't need to lie here. I want you to be honest.

Jaime tries to look away from him.

?: Oh come on, look at me...look at me!!!

Jaime slowly looks at him, still having fear in his eyes

?: Was it funny that Seth places a chair around Edge's neck?

Jaime: N-no.

?: Was it funny when he smashes Dean Ambrose's head into cinder blocks?

Jaime: N-no.

?: And...was it funny when he betrayed his brother and his team?

Jaime stayed silent as the blunt object, a crowbar, was rubbed against his cheek.

?: Was it funny?

Jaime: ...No.

?: Good. Now hold on. As a reward, I'm going to give a special gift. One that will surely put a smile on your face. I'm a man of my word. HIIHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

The camera falls down as Jaime's screams were heard and the video cuts off.

*video ends*

The Authority was horrified. They cannot believe what just happened. Jaime and Joey were being held captive somewhere and brutally assaulted by someone unknown. Seth was seething in anger as he grips his phone in rage.

Suddenly, another video was sent to him as he presses it. There was no one there but a voice was heard.
