Blood Ties
The sequel to Hidden Truth – Jake counties his path in TNA. But will his own Blood betray him.
Jake walked into his bedroom being as quiet as he could be. It was 2:00 A.M. Jake had been wrestling in Japan for his last tour with Zero-1 Max. Now that TNA was doing more house shows wrestler had to make them self's more available to work those shows, meaning most had to stop taking so many Indy dates.
The crowd had been great and even gave Jake the streamers treatment in his last two match's one with C.W. Anderson and the last one with Masato Tanaka. After the match Jake had gotten the first flight home. Traci was asleep in there bed.
Jake started to climb into the bed when he felt a hard blow in the nuts. "Pervert," Traci yelled and turned on the lights. When she saw Jake on the floor she was shocked. "Jake I thought you weren't due home until tomorrow," She said apologetically. "Changed my travel plans so I could get home early and surprise you. We have any ice?" Jake said his voice slightly higher than normal. "Oh yeah hold on," Traci said running to the freezer.
She returned and handed him some ice in an icepack. "Here, Jake I'm sorry. It's just I woke up and say a man getting into bed and I punched," Traci said. "It's ok. I should have called and warned you. I was just trying to be romantic," Jake said.
After a few minutes Jake was better. "How was the tour?" Traci asked. "Really well, I won most of my matches and went to a draw with CW. I even got steamers the last two nights," Jake said. "That must have cool," Traci said. "Yeah it was. How is everything here?" Jake asked. "It's fine," Traci said. "Good, now to do what I wanted to do before you hit me," Jake said and pulled her into a kiss.
At the same time in Nashville Jeff Jarrett was awake in his basement. He couldn't sleep memories of the war games ruled his dreams He was finally ready to return to TNA after the injuries he suffered in the war games. He had a plan to take care of Jake. No one became a star at his expense. This week it would begin it was the begging of the end of Jake Reed. A man so big so strong Reed was doomed.
Later that morning Traci woke up, she and Jake had gone to bed again around 2:30. She decided to let Jake sleep while she got cleaned up for the day. She took a second to admire her engagement ring. She gave Jake a quick kiss and then went to shower. Jake was asleep but it was a restless one. He began to dream
Dream
Jake was in a dark room. He looked around and didn't see anything but he heard someone. "Hello is anyone there?" Jake called out. A very bright light came on. Jake turned his head and covered his eyes. "It won't blind you," A voice said. Jake put his hand down and turned to see who was talking. He was stunned to see someone he hadn't seen in years, someone that was long gone.
"Brian? Is it really you?" Jake asked looking at his older brother that had been killed in a car wreck when Jake was sixteen. "Who do you think it is Tommy Dreamer?" Brian joked. Jake hugged him and tried to speak. "So how you been?" Jake finally got out. "I'm dead Jake so besides that I am fine," Brian said.
"So I hear you are getting married," Brain said. "Yeah I am," Jake said. "Look Jake I really wish this could be a chance to catch up but I only have so long. I have to warn you," Brian said. "Warn me about what?" Jake asked. "Look something is going to happen that is going to change everything. You need to be ready. And don't push the people that care about you away," Brian said.
"Brian can't you tell me more than that. I mean change everything what are you talking about my wedding, something in wrestling. Come I bro give more than that," Jake said. "I wish I could. I have to go," Brian said. The room went dark. "Brian, hey wait!" Jake yelled.
"Jake wake up," Traci said trying to wake him. Jake sat up in the bed. "Wow," Jake said rubbing his eyes. "Jake why were you calling out for your brother?" Traci asked worried this was the first time she could ever remember something like this happing. "I had this dream whit him in it. He said he had to warn me about something that is going to change everything. But he was so vague and then he disappeared so that is why I was yelling," Jake said.
"Are you going to
be ok?" Traci asked rubbing his back. "Yeah I think so. It's
just unsettling a bit. I never have dreamed about him. Not even when
he first died," Jake said. "Why do you thin you did now?" Traci
asked. "You know what growing up Brian always looked out for me. I
know Jeff Jarrett is coming back must be my way of telling myself to
be ready for him," Jake said. Jake pulled Traci into a kiss.
"I love you Traci. Never doubt that," Jake said. "I won't. I
love you to Jake," Traci said. They kissed again and it grows more
intense. Traci pulled away, "Jake we can't do that right now. I
have photo shoot for the TNA website," Traci said. "Oh come on
Traci I have been in Japan for four days. We couldn't do it last
night because you well you remember," Jake said. "I promise after
I am done we make up for lost time," Traci said.
Samoa Joe was already working out. Tomorrow would be a bid day. Jarrett and D'Amore would both be back in TNA. He knew Jarrett had some plan to take out Jake Reed. Joe could care less to Joe it was time to get revenge for Jake beating him. That night in the six sides of steel Reed had gone from up and coming star to an automatic maineventer.
"It was a fluke I was knocked out by hitting my head on the steel. This time he won't have that cage to help him. I am going to make Reed tap out!" Joe said. He then returned to kicking the bag he was working on earlier.
Jeff Jarrett was packing his bag. He wanted to get it out the way. He checked his watch and picked up his cell phone. "It's me. I want to make sure you are ready. I know Joe has his own idea but we do this my way," Jarrett said in his phone. "Don't worry Jeff everything is ready," A voice on the other end said. "Good, Jake Reed is finished one way or another," Jarrett said a sick smile on his face.
