Triple H slowly opens his eyes, and shuts them tight when the throbbing pain in his skull occurs to him. He finds himself tied tightly to a chair with rope, in a rundown warehouse.
"He's waking up!" Sean shouted.
Triple H feels a large palm on his forehead, and his head is pulled backward until he's able to see the face of Brock "The Beast" Lesnar as his eyes are now being forced wide open.
"Hi Hunter." Brock said while Triple H remains silent.
Brock smiles and pushes Triple H's head forward while holding the back of it.
"Behold the King, the King of Kings!" Sean shouts causing Brock to chuckle.
"First question your majesty; where are the diamonds!?" Sean asks.
"I've never seen a diamond before in my life. I don't know what you're talking about." Triple H said.
Sean smirks and shows his palm to reveal the diamond that had been in Triple H's pocket.
"Oh shi.." Triple H began to say before being hit across the back of the head by Brock.
"You got a real thick skull there H, Brock is impressed." Sean said causing Brock to nod with approval.
"At first we were thinking that Seth and Dean pulled a fast one and ran off with diamonds that weren't theirs. Then we heard that you've been getting really nice with Seth's sister, so we're thinking that you and the two of them have the diamonds stashed somewhere." Sean said.
"Seth is dead man." Triple H groaned.
"Seth is one of the best conmen this city's ever known!" Sean shouted, "We know that you two used to run together, and if he really is dead then you'll be seeing him soon if you don't tell us where the diamonds are stashed!"
Triple H looks down at the map with slightly blurred vision caused by his most recent hit to the head. "They're at Seth's place, locked in a hidden safe over the fireplace."
Sean and Brock look at each other with shocked expressions, and immediately rush out of the warehouse. Triple H sighs and looks around as best he can, and notices that he's sitting next to large wooden crates bearing the company logo of The World Bodybuilding Federation. A few half opened crates reveal that they're filled with hay, dumbbells and illegal liquor.
Triple H struggles against the binds that hold him to the chair, and manages to stand on his tip toes and slowly make his way through the dimly lit warehouse. He spots a large red sign on the wall and makes his way toward it, eventually able to make out that it reads "Fire Alarm".
Triple H sits next to the Fire Alarm and smashes his head into the glass covering before leaning in to push his -- now bloodied -- forehead against the small alarm button. Nothing happens as a result, causing Triple H to slam his head into the button a few more times in frustration.
A small piece of glass falls behind the chair and into Triple H's bound hand. Triple H works the glass against the rope and manages to free himself. Before leaving, Triple H takes a bottle of brandy as a souvenir.
The bright morning sun is a stark reminder of the amount of time Triple H must have been out cold. While wondering when his luck is going to change, a familiar cab suddenly speeds up and stops in front of Triple H.
Bob Holly leans out of his window and hits the side of his cab twice with his arm. He says "Hey stranger, you need a lift?"
Triple H gets into the back of the cab and says "Get me to Seth's place, this time drive it like a bat out of Hell."
Bob laughs to himself and drives at break-neck speed through alleyways and on sidewalks until arriving at Seth's residence.
Triple H gets out of the cab and Bob remarks "I left your overcoat at your office. Cleaned and pressed."
"Just keep the cab running, this shouldn't take long." Triple H said before heading to the front door.
Before knocking, Triple H overhears Charlotte shouting "WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY!?"
Triple H knocks on the door, and Charlotte answers immediately with a terrified expression.
"They just came in, and I was so scared and..." Charlotte said in a faint quivering tone only to be embraced by Triple H.
"It's okay, I heard you asking where they were. I'll find them." Triple H said.
"Where they were?" Charlotte asks in a startled tone.
"Those two goons, Sean and Brock. You must have been out while they ransacked the place." Triple H said.
"Oh Hunter, it's horrible. Come look at what they did!" Charlotte said while leading Triple H into the home.
The home bears the obvious signs of having been ransacked, with furniture slashed open, and a sea of ornaments and wall art strewn around the floor.
Triple H looks at the now exposed safe over the fireplace. "Hmm, I never noticed that safe before." he said.
"Oh that? There's nothing in there, just some old worthless jewelry I keep as a memento of my father." Charlotte said.
"May I see?" Triple H asked. Charlotte shrugs her shoulders and turns the dial to input the combination and opens the safe.
Triple H looks in the safe to see that the documents that were in there before are now gone. "Are you sure there wasn't anything else in here?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. What are you trying to say?" Charlotte asked in a suspicious tone.
Triple H notices that the red velvet couch is still intact and says "At least they didn't hurt your sofa."
"Oh, forget that old thing. Come see what they did in the bedroom." Charlotte said while leading Triple H into the master bedroom.
Triple H walks into the bedroom, and is taken back by a horrid smell.
"It's that idiot Sean. He just can't resist leaving his calling card." Charlotte said while staring at a large steaming turd on her ripped apart bedspread.
"You know Sean?" Triple H asked while covering his nose.
"I, know of Sean. I heard stories." Charlotte said.
"Well don't worry, I'll clean this up. And when I find him I'll give him a piece of my mind." Triple H said.
"Make sure you give him a piece of my mind too, I'll be in the kitchen." Charlotte said before leaving the bedroom.
Triple H pulls the ends of the comforter over the turd and ties them tight, and in doing so reveals a photograph on the bed. Looking more closely, it depicts Seth Rollins and Wade "The Bull" Barrett at the race track.
Charlotte comes back into the room and says "If you could, just junk that old comforter. I need to get some rest."
"What if they come back?" Triple H asked with a concerned expression.
"Oh I'll be ready for them, I've got a gun handy and I never miss. Now run along." Charlotte said.
Triple H swings the blanket wrapped turd over his shoulder and begins to walk out of the home.
"And Hunter." Charlotte began to say as Triple H was walking out the front door "Thanks you big lug". He was about to respond when the door was shut and locked before he could.
Triple H enters the waiting cab and says "The police station, and take it easy this time."
Bob slowly pulls out and drives toward the police station.
"Why are you giving me free rides all of a sudden?" Triple H asked.
"It just seems like the right thing to do." he said before asking "what's in that sack you're carrying?"
"It's evidence." Triple H responded.
"Well it smells like shit." Bob said.
The cab arrives at the police station and Triple H exits with his sack in tow. After climbing the steps and entering the main lobby of the police station, Triple H approaches the front counter, where officer Bo Dallas is reading a newspaper while mumbling "still no leads in the Chyna murder", and slams the comforter filled with human excrement onto the counter.
"I want to talk to Police Chief Cena." Triple H said.
Bo timidly opens the comforter, revealing human feces to the horror of everyone in the lobby.
"Uhhh, was he expecting you?" Bo asks in a frightened tone.
"I don't have time to mess around, now go get Cena before I get really angry!" Triple H shouted.
Bo rushes into the back area of the police station and returns with John Cena.
"BY LUCIFER'S BEARD!" John exclaims after seeing the turd and comforter on his counter.
"Sean 'The Sixpack' left this, right after he destroyed Seth Rollins' house." Triple H said.
"Okay, Hunter. First off, we haven't received a call about Seth Rollins' house." John said in a forcefully calm tone.
"Sean and Brock trashed the place, Sean left this behind and Charlotte was probably too scared to call you." Triple H said.
"Oh don't you worry. Bo and Kane are on their way to the Rollins' domicile as we speak." John said before turning his head to look at Bo. Bo stares in horror at the turd on the counter. "NOW!" John shouted, causing Bo to break from his trance and hurriedly exit the police station.
John angrily wraps the turd with the comforter while saying "We can't use poop as evidence Hunter, even if it's the modus operandi of a known criminal."
After wrapping the turd, John hands the sack to a nearby officer and says "To the incinerator, please." and turns to Triple H asking "Did someone beat you up?"
"Sean and Brock, they took me to an old warehouse on the edge of the east side. You might want to check it out, it's got evidence that one of Vince's businesses is a front for illegal booze." Triple H said.
"I'll head over there myself." John said. "Apart from bringing a pile of crap into my building, I'm glad to see you're still alive."
Triple H offers to shake John's hand, John very reluctantly shakes Triple H's hand and the two leave the building.
Triple H approaches the cab and tells Bob "I'll be good for today, thanks for your help." Bob nods and says "When you need me, just dial Klondike nine nine zero zero" before speeding off.
Triple H makes his way to Punk's joint, and is allowed in after being seen briefly through the small window in the large iron door. He makes his way to the bar where Punk is cleaning glasses, before speaking Triple H notices Punk motion with his forehead to look behind him. In an area of the room sits Kofi "Good Luck" Kingston and Wade "The Bull" Barrett.
"Have a seat Hunter, we need to talk." Kofi said.
Triple H walk over to the table where the two men are sitting and sits with them.
"Looks like old Brock did a real number on your forehead." Wade said.
Triple H touches his forehead, and dried blood flakes off. "That was me, I was headbutting a fire alarm." he said.
Wade and Kofi look at each other and look back at Hunter.
Kofi sighs and says "Talk around the street is that you helped your friends betray Vince McMahon, if you know where the diamonds are you should really give them up now."
"I don't know where the diamonds are, I only found one at Dean's room in the heartbreak hotel." Triple H said in an annoyed tone. He looks around and asks "Where's The Edge?"
Wade and Kofi look at each other again and turn to look back at Triple H.
Wade says "Adam said he had personal business with Vince at The Rosebud Club." prompting Kofi to elbow Wade and give him a stern expression.
"Personal, as in we weren't supposed to tell anybody." Kofi said in a coarse manner.
"You let me into your confidence already, tell me why he's there." Triple H said.
"He didn't say, but word has traveled fast that you upended Vince's supply of liquor. Given Edge's reputation, he's probably there so Vince can pay him off to put a hit on you. " Kofi said causing Wade to show obvious worry.
"I'll be paying them a visit instead then, just one more thing." Triple H said causing Kofi and Wade to shake their heads as though they don't intend to give anymore information.
"What were you doing at the track with Seth?" Triple H asked while looking at Wade.
Wade's look of worry turns to one of relief and he says "I used to go to the track with him all the time, he'd always get a hot lead from Vince."
Triple H abruptly leaves the speakeasy, and heads back to the office. After entering the office, Shawn starts shouting "WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU..." before stopping to notice the dried blood on Triple H's forehead.
"I don't think I want to know where you've been." Shawn said.
Triple H sits on the couch against the wall, and shawn runs a rag under flowing water at a nearby sink.
"I'm going to the Rosebud Club, and confront Vince, Brock and Edge." Triple H said while Shawn hands him the wet rag.
"And do what exactly?" Shawn asked.
"Beat them up, take them to the police station." Triple H said while scrubbing his brow.
"Who beat you up?" Shawn asked while looking at a mean bruise on the side of Triple H's head.
"Brock, he and Sean 'The Sixpack' took me to their warehouse because they thought I knew where the diamonds were." Triple H said while laying back and holding the cold rag to his relieved forehead.
"So you're going on a suicide mission then?" Shawn asked while sitting next to Hunter.
"I have to, they'll come for me eventually." Triple H responded.
"What about the police?" Shawn asked.
"They can't help me, you saw how they got to Paul." Triple H said.
"Just trust me on this one Hunter, there's got to be something at the Rosebud Club." Shawn said.
"So you're saying I should just go there, and expect them to let me in? Brock is the bouncer at that club. I have to go in by force or not at all." Triple H said.
"Does Big E owe you any favors?" Shawn asked causing Triple H to pull the rag from his forehead.
"He does, I could go there in disguise." Triple H said.
Triple H leaps up and puts on his hat, while leaving the office Shawn shouts "Try not to get killed!"
Triple H makes his way to Big E's barber shop, and is met by a locked door. Triple H furiously bangs on the glass of the door, until Big E angrily answers it.
"It's three thirty Hunter! We're closed!" Big E shouted.
"I'm calling in a favor, for that raid I warned you about." Triple H said.
Big E releases a long sigh, and says "Oh, come on in man."
The two enter the barber shop and Triple H sits in one of the elevated barber chairs.
"I need you to make me look different." Triple H said.
"There's all kinds of different out there." Big E responded while finding a small bottle of glue in a drawer.
"I need to look like a different person, so nobody can recognize me." Triple H said.
"I'll tell you what. I used to know a guy named Crocker, he taught me everything there is to know about being able to blend in as a hundred different people. When I'm done with you, nobody will be able to recognize you." Big E said.
"Thanks man, I don't know what I'd do without you." Triple H said.
Big E applies glue and hair from the floor of the barber shop onto Triple H's face, fashioning thick facial hair and a thick unibrow. After finishing, he holds a mirror out for Triple H to look.
"Mutton chops!?" Triple H asks before snatching the mirror and looking more closely.
"That's not all, I have one of these left over from Halloween." Big E said while holding out a wig of long blonde hair.
"I'm going to the Rosebud Club! I'm not going to the carnival!" Triple H shouted.
"You want to look different, right?" Big E asked rhetorically in a stern tone before saying "Put on the wig."
Triple H groans and puts the elastic band of the wig over his forehead, and holds the mirror to look at his new appearance.
"This is so terrorizing." Triple H groaned.
"You said that you're going to the Rosebud Club? They're going to love you man." Big E said before laughing to himself.
"Where's your phone?" Triple H asked.
Big E pulls the phone out from under the counter and places it on top and gestures that Triple H may use it.
Triple H picks up the earpiece of the phone and speaks into the mouth piece "Hello, operator. I want Klondike nine nine zero zero." the phone rings and Bob picks up saying "Bob's Cab Service!". Triple H responds "It's Hunter, pick me up at Big E's barber shop."
