Chapter 7
"You know just when we thought it couldn't get any stranger in TNA especially with Jake Reed it reaches a whole new level," Mike Tenay says at the Impact broadcast table. "Professor it looked he had come out to help Kurt it looked like he was ready to splash or do something to Samoa Joe. Jake Reed working Kurt Angle was strange enough but than the light go out and that broken guitar could only mean one person," Don says.
As this was going on Jake was walking around backstage as Lauren walked up to him. "Jake were you trying to help…" Jake takes her microphone and breaks it. "Leave me alone," Jake says. Lauren has no other option and just leaves the camera stays with Jake. "Hey Jake," James Storm says as he and the rest of Beer Money Inc. walk up to him. "Look I'm in a really bad mood and when I'm in a bad mood well Mr. Tire Iron gets well he swung around," Jake says opening his jacket to show his weapon. "Jake I bring a gift," Storm says offering up a six pack.
"You know Storm what's to stop me from using little buddy here and just taking it," Jake says. "Reed look the times have changed," Roode says. "First you need a breath mint. Second times have changed but not like you think," Jake says. Robert looks like he wants to say something more but doesn't. Instead he and Storm get nervous looks and leave with Jackie.
"That is the same look I get when I see a John Cena match. What about you Sting?" Jake asks as he slowly turns around to face the icon. "Look something is up here and I want to know what it is?" Sting asks. "And I want just one more good Superman movie before I die but we don't always get what we want," Jake says. "Look Reed I want to know the deal is with you trying to frame me?" Sting asks holding up his bat. "Sting you are not a stupid man. I'm not a stupid man either. We both know the only time I tried to frame you was Hard Justice. Now I have something very important to deal with," Jake says as he goes to walk away.
Sting pulls him back and Jake shoves him. Kurt Angle shows up with Booker and for now Sting backs off. "Some people have no manors," Booker says. Jake just keeps walking.
Jim Cornett felt like his head was about to burst. Here it was time for Bound for Glory and things were a bigger mess than ever. He had given up hope on talking any sense into Jake. AJ limped into the office. The last few weeks had taken a toll on AJ in both body and mind. "AJ sit down," Jim says. "Look Jim I don't want to sit down. At Bound for Glory I want a rematch with Jake," AJ says. "AJ I don't know if you can handle that match you are really beat up right now," Jim says. "Look, I don't demand a lot but I am demanding this match," AJ yells.
JB burst into the room out of breath. "Mr. Cornett… In… ring…" "Look Borash I know for a fact that right now the knockouts are in the ring. I put Traci in charge of them for a reason. So she will handle what ever it is," Jim says. "But sir…" "No I trust Traci with what ever it is," Jim says.
The knockouts were ready for a battle royal that would decide who would challenge Taylor Wilde that was until Jake rushed the ring. "Everybody out!" Jake yelled. At first no one budged. "I'm not going to ask again," Jake says and that is enough for the Beautiful People as the get out of the ring. After thinking it over both Gail and Roxxi exit they know Jake is a dangerous person right now. Kong and ODB stood in the ring.
Saeed jumps up on the apron to talk to Kong. Saeed knew Kong could handle herself but one good swing with that tire iron could do a lot of damage. She also knew given Jake's mental state management would be just as angry at Kong for not backing off. Finally Kong gets out of the ring. ODB also gets out of the ring knowing Reed is one sick person these days.
Jake has a microphone. "Jeff Jarrett get out here right now," Jake yells. "Wait is Jeff even here?" Mike asks. "Well we have all been thinking it. Who else would use a silver guitar?" Don says. "Come on Jarrett. I'm not going to wait forever," Jake yells. Traci's music starts to play. Traci is pissed as hell. "Just who the hell do you think you are?" She asks. Jake ignores her and is starting to pace. "Jake he isn't here," Traci says. "He is here!"
Suddenly for the first time in a long time Jarrett's music played. The fans started to cheer but the music stopped. Jake leaves the ring and heads to the back. "I warned him now it gets worse," Jake says.
Kurt Angle and Booker T were in Booker's dressing room as Frank Trigg snuck in. "How did it go?" Kurt asks. "Perfect nobody saw me at the board," Frank says. "Good if Jarrett is coming back we are going use it to get Reed working with us," Booker says. "Hey it's only a matter of time," Kurt says.
Security pulled Jake into Jim's office. "Jake you are out of control! Jake I have half a mind to fire you!" "Yeah but you won't. Look Cornett I'm take care of Jarrett and than I am taking out AJ and than maybe Joe," Jake says. Jim is about to yell again but his phone starts to ring. "Hello… Yes sir… What? I thought… Ok…" Jim hangs up the phone.
"Alright let him go and Jake it will be you and AJ in a Chicago Street Fight," Jim says. "Thank you," Jake says. He opens the door to leave as a guitar smacks Jake in the head. "Wait who did that?" Mike Tenay yells as Impact fades to black.
