Chapter 20

Jim Cornett and Dixie Carter were in a meeting going over wrestlers that would be cut from the TNA roster and those that would be brought on. "Alright AJ and Christopher keep pushing for us to give Matt Sydal a chance," Dixie said. Jim put down the contract he was looking at and started to speak when Christian Cage burst though the door. "Alright we need to talk," Christian yelled.

"About?" Dixie asks annoyed. "About what you are going to do to keep Jake Reed away from me," Christian says. "Christian what do you want us to do?" Jim asks. "Ban him from Impact Zone until Hard Justice," Christian says. "Christian we are not doing that. Now we have told Jake that he can't put a hand unless you give a reason to. So now that is dealt with get out," Dixie said. "Oh so this is who it the company supports the addict over me. Boy what happened to the day when I was called the biggest jump in TNA history," Christian says.

"Well you became an embarrassment who ran around in a mask," Jim says. "I did what I had to do in order to get back where I belong and that is the main event," Christian says. "By stalking the man and trying to drive him crazy. If you wanted a title shot you should have challenged him like a man," Dixie says. Christian gets mad and just leaves. "We need to start locking that door," Jim says.

Jake was studying Christian's matches since he had come to TNA. Traci comes in the room. "Jake," she says. Jake stops the DVD and turns to face her. "Yeah babe," Jake says. "Did you really mean what you said about playing mind games with Christian?" Traci asks. "Yeah of course. Look the guy messed with me for to long. Now I get some payback," Jake says.

"Well what do you have planed?" Traci asks. "Well first. I'm not telling you," Jake says. "Jake were husband and wife," Traci says. "Yeah but I don't tell you and TNA management decides to punish me then you won't get in trouble," Jake says. "Yeah like anybody will believe that I don't know what you're doing," Traci says. "Good point. Well I just plan to be a pain for him as much as I can," Jake says. "Meaning?" "Meaning I will distract him as much as I can. He has a match then I am out in plain sight. He thinks alone in a hall I am right behind him. I won't touch him. I won't fight him. Basically I am making him crazy," Jake says.

"Jake just don't take it too far. Let's leave Denise out of it," Traci says. "Traci I'm not like Jarrett or Mitchell. Besides the only time I have ever been around Denise expect for that one time in the dinner," Jake says. "Ok so what are going to do next?" Traci asks. "Well…"

Christian walks out of the impact zone to his car. When he gets there he sees a boot on his front driver side tire. "What the hell is this?" Christian says walking up to the security guard that is near his car. "Look pal they said you have about fifty unpaid tickets," The guard says. "Dam it I know I have to call and clear this up. I don't have any tickets," Christian yells as he goes back inside.

The guard checks and make sure he is gone. He then goes up and pulls off the boot it becomes clear it wasn't real just a really well done look a like. The guard then leaves the scene. When he is a good distance away he pulls out his phone and makes a call.

"Hello," Jake says answering his own cell phone. "Jake it's done. Cage fell for it hook line and sinker," The guard says. "Good work Seth. Give my best to Julia and the kids," Jake says. The guard heads for the staff offices in Universal Studios and clocks out before leaving the grounds.

Sometime later Christian comes back to his car with a cop holding the equipment to remove a boot. "Mr. Cage I just want to apologize on behave of the city of Orlando again for the mistake," The cop says sincerely. "Yeah what ever moron. Just get the stupid thing of my car. I have things to do," Christian says rudely.

"Ah witch one is your car again?" The cop asks not seeing a boot of the ten cars in the parking lot. "It's the black BMW with the boot on it," Christian says not even looking. "The only BMW I see doesn't have a boot on it," the cop says. "It's the one right over there," Christian says pointing at his car.


Christian finally sees the boot is off is car. The cop is mad. "Mr. Cage I don't what the laws our in Canada but in the USA we don't find wasting a cop's time funny. Now I will let you off as a warning for now," The cop says leaving. Christian goes up to his car and gets in not wanting to waste any time he sees a piece of paper stuck in the windshield wiper he takes it out sees it's note. "Dear Christian it's amazing what some people can do with scrape metal and welding equipment sincerely Jake," Christian reads out loud.

Christian crumples up the note and throws it on the ground. He gets in and drives off pissed of that Jake has gotten him again. "I guess I am going to have to take it up a notch," Christian thinks. "And I know just the way to do it!" Christian says with an evil smile on his face.

Christian drove to the hotel he usually stayed in. Impact was tomorrow and the guy he wanted to see was there in another room. A quick check with desk confirmed that and the girl gave him the room number after he fed a line about needing to check about something for there show tomorrow.

Christian reached the room he was looking for and knocked on the door. It opened exactly five second later. "I had feeling you were going to come to see me sooner or later," Scott D'Amore said with a smug smile on his face.

"So are inventing me in?" Christian asks. Scott signals for him to enter. "You know I am little disappointed that you didn't come to me when you planning to go after Jake. I mean me and my boys could have been of use to you then," Scott says. "Well I have offer for you now," Christian says. "I'm listening," Scott says.
