Chapter 7
Author's Note- I hope everyone like my surprise. If you do please review. I thank everyone that has so far.
Jake woke up in the trainer's room. "Well it's been a while since I have been here," Jake groaned out. "Jake do you know what happened?" Traci asked taking his hand. "Yeah Van Damn gave me the Van Damnaitor," Jake said sitting up. "Before you ask RVD, Jarrett, and Heyman have already left," Traci said.
"Guess I will have to wait until Impact to make them pay," Jake said. AJ comes into the room. "Hey Jake you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. I will feel a lot better when I get my hands on RVD," Jake said. "You have any idea why RVD would want to go after you?" AJ asked. "No. Maybe he is just here to help Jarrett," Jake said.
"We can worry about all this latter. Jake we should just go home for now. You had a match with Joe where you took a beating and then RVD jumped you. I think you should rest for now," Traci said. "I know that tone of voice. It means I better not argue. So yeah let go home. Just one thing I need some help I am really sore," Jake said.
AJ helped Jake off the table and let him but his weight on AJ. Traci picked up Jake's bag and they headed to the car. Jake got in the passenger seat and Traci drove them home.
As Jake watched the light of the city pass by he started to remember another car ride long ago.
Flashback
"So little brother what do you think of the big city? A lot nicer than Omaha don't you think?" Brian asked Jake as they drove back to Brian's place. "Now why are you always so down on our home town?" Jake asked looking over at his brother behind the wheel. "I'm not down on it I just like the big city more," Brian said. "What ever," Jake responded.
"Look Jake I know you are only sixteen but sooner or later you are going to have to leave home. I mean if you want to make as a wrestler you can't do it out of Omaha," Brian said. "I know Brian," Jake said.
Brian took his eyes off the road to change the radio station when the stop light ahead turned red. "BRIAN LOOK OUT!" Jake yelled but it was too late. The car slammed into another and then another and finally flipped over.
Present
"Jake, Jake please say something," Traci said. "What going on?" Jake asked returning to the present. "I asked if you wanted to get something to eat. But you were off in another world," Traci said. "I'm sorry I was just thinking about the night Brian died," Jake said.
"Are you going to be ok?" Traci asked worried. "Yeah I'll be fine. Let's just go home I am really tired," Jake said not wanting to talk about it. "Ok," Traci said.
Jarrett and his crew we in his Orlando home. "Ok I have to know, why you two hate Jake Reed so much." Chris Harris asked. "That will all be revealed in due time," Heyman said. "Yeah but dudes, tonight was a warning shot this week at impact the war is on," RVD said.
"Well I'll tell you what RVD I am so glade I taped the PPV. Because now I rewind and rewatch you kicking that chair into Reed's head any time I want," James Storm said very drunk. "Bro if you think that was great wait to see what I am going to do to him for now on. Because I am once again the whole F'n show!" RVD said.
"You I will admit when you two approached me I was shocked. But now I realize that you two are perfect to take out Reed once and for all. With my power, Paul's brain and Rob's talent there is no chance in hell that Reed can stop us," Jarrett said.
Jake and Traci walked into there house Jake hadn't seen anything the rest of the way home. "Jake will you talk to be please," Traci said reaching out him. "There is nothing to talk about Traci. I got jumped by RVD and riding in the car I flashed back to the wreck that killed Brian," Jake said. "Yeah and those are both things to talk about," Traci said.
"Well you just drop it," Jake yelled. "No I won't. You know why I love you and there is something troubling you," Traci yelled at him. "Why does it feel like Brian is haunting me," Jake said calmly. "What do you mean?" Traci asked calm herself. "After he died I mourned him. I cried for him. But I moved on and now this dreams the flashback it's like he is trying to tell me something," Jake said.
Traci hugged him. "I don't know why maybe you should talk to your therapist about this," Traci said. "Your right I have an appointment this week. I'll do it then. Thank you," Jake said. "For what?" "Making me talk about my problems," Jake said. "I know you would do the same for me. Because we love each other," Traci says. Jake gives her a kiss.
Rob walked into the hotel room he was using in Orlando. A number of fans in the lobby had already been asking him why. Why he attacked Reed? Why he joined up with Jarrett?
They would all find out why soon enough. Rob sat on his bed and looked at his legs. His legs were his greatest gift and greatest curse. A gift in how they allowed him to fly though the air. But a curse in the fact that they were easy to injure. In ECW when he had his shoot at Mike Awesome that first injury he cost him it. After that his leg was never really the same. It was because of that the WWE had an excuse to hold him back saying they couldn't cont on him to get hurt if he had the WWE or World title.
There was one man to blame but RVD couldn't revenge on that guy so he would do the next best thing and Reed was the next best thing.
