Chapter 10
"Come on DJ I could really use the booking... Look I'm not that hurt I mean you guys much more... I'm not drinking either... Look my history with CZW I am willing to give a discount... I said a discount not a charity gig," I say but DJ Hyde the owner of CZW just hangs up. So much for being able to make a living on the indys. I might have to cash in some IOU's for a date with New Japan I was pretty close with Karl Anderson and Prince Divette at one time. My phone starts to ring. Between the rumors of my drinking and the news of my injury I'm down to a few dates and no one is calling to even talk about bringin me in down the line.
It's been a week since my last drink and man I could really use one. The door bell rings I pick up my gun and tuck it into my belt and pull my shirt over it. After the attack from Abyss I started carrying it again. I figured done with TNA done with attacks boy was I wrong. "Who is it?" I yell. "An offer," a voice says. I check the peep hole I know I have seen this guy before but not sure where. I open the door slowly. The guy is big and built wearing as suit with a red tie. "Mr. Reed it's good to see you again," He says. "Do I know you?" I ask my hand just over my gun. "I'm Crimson, Amazing Red's brother," He says."Oh right," I say. "Like I said I am here with an offer. An offer of revenge," Crimson says.
"Look what ever issue you have with Red leave me out of it," I tell him. "It's not about my brother. Its revenge for you for the people that ruined your life," he says. "Immortal right. Did Morgan put you up to this?" I ask. "Not Morgan I am working with someone of more power," Crimson says. "Look I don't know how many different ways I can it. I'M DONE WITH TNA!"I scream at the top of lungs. "Oh really? If your done with TNA why are calling Kaz to threaten him," Crimson asks. "I was drunk." I turn to head back inside. He uses his massive arm to block my way. "I always heard that drinking lower inhibitions makes us do stuff we really want to do," he says. "Maybe I just hate Kaz. Doesn't mean I'm ready for a comeback," I tell him point blank.
"Do you really think they will leave you alone?" He asks. "I don't know they were leaving me alone until I started talking to people from TNA again," I point out. "Well since you are the father of Madison Rayne's baby," Crimson says. "How and the hell did you know that?" I ask a little worried so far no one knows I am the father. "Everyone in that cafe knows," he tells me. Oh yeah that cafe that featured round one. "Look you want to take out Kazarain take out Kazarain. You want Styles take out Styles. Or how about about Abyss," He offers. "I don't..." "What else do you have? Love it or hate it TNA needs you and they would love to work with you," Crimson says. I close my eyse for a second and pinch my nose as I feel a headache coming on. When I open them he is gone.

Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy were at Matt's place in North Carolina. "I still can't believe Bischoff was stupid enough to let RVD get a title shot," Matt says. "It doesn't Matt I got my belt back from Anderson. I will take care of RVD at Lockdown. Besides I have a few idea on how to take care of Rob," Jeff says. "Lockdown is that where he won the title last year?" Matt asks. "No it was the next night after the former champion walked away. Hogan put me and him in a match he won and faced AJ in the main event," Hardy says not liking to recall the fact RVD always seemed to beat him. "Right Jake Reed beat that idoit Wolfe last year," Matt says.
"See that is why Eric let RVD get a shot he's to worried about Jake Reed," Jeff says. "He's telling people not to worry about Reed," Matt points out. "Eric knows he fucked up with Reed. The smart thing would have been to make Reed an friend. But Eric made him enemy," Jeff says lighting up a cigarette. "So you think Reed is coming back?" Matt ask. "I want Reed to come back. You see Reed has some kind of connection with all those people. I want him to come back so I can beat him," Jeff says. "I thought you said something about looking into his eyes and you said his soul was dead," Matt reminds him. "I lied he's coming back and I have a plan to bring him back," Jeff says.

The original four members of Fortune were hanging out in Robert Roode's penthouse. "Man I can not believe Bischoff is fining me for that thing with Reed," Kaz complains. "Dude I'm just happy that for once he wasn't on my ass," AJ says. "Oh bitch bitch bitch how do you think I feel I had Bischoff, Flair, and Hogan all oer me," Storm says drinking a beer. Roode takes it from him. "Forget it I had to promise Hogan I would take care of you," Roode says. "Kaz why did you feel the need to send Abyss after Jake?" AJ asks. "Not this again can you blame me the guy threatened me and it's all Storm fault," Kaz yells. "Look boy you lucky all Reed did to you was a prank call. If it were me I'd kill you," Storm says.
"You know I still can't beleve Reed didn't let the locker room know. I mean hell Angle would have killed you just to work out the anger he was felling at Jarrett," AJ says. "Hey it's not my fault Reed couldn't keep his woman happy," Kazarain says. "Dude you broke the code," Roode says. "Wait I tend to remember the way you treated Traci," Kaz says. "Never slept with her," Roode says. Kaz just gets up and leaves.
