Chapter 11
A Little Payback
It had been a week since Impact and the NWA title belt was still missing. Jim Cornett was in the ring with the locker room surrounding it with the expectation of AJ who back was pretty much dog meat and Jake who was also pretty sore both of who had been given the week off.
"Alright I just want to get right down to business. Now by know I am sure you have all heard that in that train wreck last week the NWA world title went missing. So right now I am ordering not asking Christian Cage, Chris Jericho, and Christopher Daniels to come into the ring right now," Jim says. Christian gets in the ring with Tomoko while Daniels climbs in on the other side. Jericho and D'Amore don't move. "Alright now I know I didn't studded. I know I didn't miss pronounce your name so get in here or your fined," Jim says.
Jericho and Scott climb into the ring. "Now you three are what they call the usual suspects. Now if it were up to me I would tie you to the back of a truck and drag all of you through town until someone confessed. But lucky for you the Carters are to nice for that. But they empowered to conduct a full investigation," Jim says. "You can't do that. I know the law," Scott yells. "Well Scott you see stealing that belt is a crime so if you would rather the cops get involved than fine," Jim says. "Hey look Jim I can get why you think it might be me but listen unlike… Hey Daniels could you move the light is bouncing off your head and blinding me," Chris says.
Christopher is really pissed off at that line. Jericho waits for a second and than puts on a pair of sunglasses. "You must think your real funny. But look Jim why would I take the NWA belt when I am going to win at the PPV? If it's anyone it the guy with Prison Ink and his bitch," Daniels says pointing at Cage and Tomoko. "You know I am getting really sick of all the line about me being anything but straight man. I am married to a beautiful woman!" Christian yells.
"Will you morons shut the hell up!" Jim yells. Before anyone can say anything else Jake and AJ jump Jericho, Daniels, and Cage. Those three and Scott bail out leaving Tomoko. Tomoko goes for a big boat on AJ but AJ ducks while Jake hits him with a drop kick. Jake picks Tomoko up like he is going for an atomic drop but Jake holds him up allowing AJ to hit a spring board elbow.
"Now Jim I know you wanted me and AJ to take some time to heal up but you know that's not our way," Jake says. "Jericho I don't care what you did before. This is TNA. And if you think you can come into to TNA and get rid of me than you are the biggest moron I have ever meet," AJ says. "And as for the belt well Jim do investigate. But I am going to be looking for my belt and Christian since you did swear to get the belt off of me I am starting with you," Jake says.
Jake was back stage tire iron in hand opening doors looking for Christian Cage. He sees Sonjay Dutt talking to the VKM. "Hey you guys seen Cage?" Jake asks. "Yeah saw him just before I came here. Man I loved Face Off," Kip James says. "Kip you moron on not Nicholas Cage," BG yells. "Look I don't have time for this!" Jake yells waving his tire iron around to prove his point. "Wow big guy," BG says. "He went that way," Sonjay says.
Jake takes off in the direction that Sonjay pointed. Jake kicks open a door and finds Christian franticly packing his bags. "Now Jake we talk about this like adults," Christian begs. "Where's my belt," Jake snarls. "Its right here," Christian says tossing Jake a bag. Jake opens the bag and looks for the NWA title. Christian gets a chair and goes to hit Jake but Jake sees it coming and kicks the chair into Cage's face. The brawl is on.
Jake manages to the advantage and pins Christian to a wall. "Where is my belt?" Jake says in very low tone. "Alright it's in my locker. I swear," Christian says. Jake lets Cage and heads for the locker, "I'm not that stupid," Jake says as he turns back and hits Cage right in the mouth knocking him out. Jake opens the locker throwing out Cage's tights he finds the belt. Christian is starting to get up. So Jake hits him with the belt.
Jake leaves the room only to get jumped by Daniels. Daniels picks up the NWA title. "Like I said Reed your only way to survive is to say your prayers," Daniels says walking away wit the belt. AJ comes up the scene as Daniels leaves putting the belt around his waist. "Look AJ this is about us. I still consider you a friend," Christopher says. "Yeah but he's my best friend," AJ says walking taking the belt and going to check on Jake. "I understand AJ," Daniels says turning to leave but than he turns back and jumps AJ. "If you are not with me than you are against me," Chris says. "So you two at Hard Justice!"
Chris starts to leave when Jake gets up and tackles him. Jake gets the advantage just as Chris Jericho and D'Amore show up to help out Daniels. AJ gets up and knocks Scott out with a kick and stars fighting Y2J. Security has to pull everyone apart.
