Bettman vanishes next and reappears with Vladdy and Brayden in the NHL Headquarters, where on a screen it shows the Triplets in Avondale and on another screen, the cages in the Bell Centre in Montreal. Killer is kicking madly at the metal bars, while Jo looks at him, distantly and Campbell sits on the ground, holding his head.

Bettman unties Vladdy and chains him to a bar in the tech room of the headquarters. Then he takes Brayden and ties him down to a chair, latching his arms to the arms of the chair. Vladdy pulls at the chains, fearing that Bettman's threat is real and he yelps and squeezes his eyes shut as Bettman whips a sharp dagger from the air.

Brayden struggles in place and screams his distress into the tape over his mouth before Bettman brings the dagger down and chops off Brayden's index finger.

Bettman then raises up the bloodied dagger and points it at Brayden. "Maybe Killer will behave now." He then rips the tape from Brayden's mouth and snatches the finger up and vanishes from sight, leaving Brayden in a deal of pain.

Bettman returns to the cages, which Vladdy can see on the screen and watches at the wicked commissioner throws the finger at Killer, who lets it fall to the ground.

Killer yelps and jumps into Campbell's arms. "WHAT THE HELL? YOU ACTUALLY CUT OFF HIS BLOODY FINGER?"

Bettman chuckles. "Don't play with me Killer. Now, you and Jo are going to tell me exactly where it is, otherwise, you can see more of Brayden's appendages!"

A. Killer and Jo share a look and then tell Bettman where Yzerchuk is.

B. Bettman returns to Vladdy to torture him some and then brings him back to force him to tell Campbell what is going on

C. This got way too dark and needs to stop before Bettman stabs poor Brayden in the heart!! It was just a dream by Campbell/Vladdy

D. Killer mans up and picks the finger up and chucks it back at Bettman, refusing to give in!

WaywardSon10: 

Beau is fed up with Sidney and he walks out of the room temporarily. Sidney gets all three of the Bolts outside of the kitchen, when suddenly Beau sneaks around the kitchen to where Cram is chained up to Jimmy Vesey. Vesey torments Cram, who attempts to get free still and swing fists at the Ranger.

But then Beau grabs a book up from a table and knocks Vesey out over the head and then releases Cram from the chains. Cram instantly runs for the door, but Beau slips before him and hisses at him, "Don't! Come on!" Beau grabs Cram's wrist and pulls him away into the cover, as Sidney pulls Vladdy and Brayden out of the house, narrowly making it out of sight.

"Some father you are, Beau!!" Sidney snarls.

Beau holds Cram close, wrapping an arm around his head and covering his mouth with his hand, before he hears the door close and the mortified screams of the distressed Pally.

Beau then lets go of Cram, but firmly holds him in place. "Please don't kill me Cram, but you have to join forces with me! I'm sick of this creepy 'Mother Sidney', it's like Psycho...he is Psycho then again! But we HAVE to stop him...he has no idea what he is doing and he's taking three incident Bolts to their death just because Ondrej Palat broke his heart! We can't just abandon them!"

A. Cram replies with: "Uh, yeah we can. Screw the Bolts, I'm a Duck and you're a Devil."

B. Cram just looks at him blankly.

C. Cram pulls his arms free and takes off, not caring.

D. Cram replies with: "Okay, fine, I'll help you out Beau. But don't you EVER do that again!"

Kesler smirks at Beau and then morphs into Auston Matthews. "I can't let anyone threaten my run for the rookie title now, can I Beau?" He then swivels his hand around in a circle and wraps Beau up in black mist. "But you'll just get in my way...Beau. And I can't have that now."

Beau gasps, gawking at Kesler-Auston Matthews. "Wait...but Kuch—?"

"Kuch is to annoy the living daylights out of Cram, while I take care of all the "rookies"...one less problem to worry about! And you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time!"

"Where's Kesler?"

"He's at home with his kids. Now Beau, come on...I'm going to force you to be my 'assassin' so to say!" Auston cackles and vanishes with Beau through a darkness portal.

They reappear in Winnipeg.

"First victim, Patrik Laine."

A. Beau says, "I'm not helping you out Auston Matthews!"

B. Beau questions Auston about Brayden and the Bolts

C. Beau questions, "What does Cram have to do with this? Why must Kuch annoy him? There's no rookies in Anaheim! So what's that have anything to do with anything?"

D. Auston Matthews wastes no time and puts Beau in a trance and then releases him and orders him to take out Patrik Laine.
