Chapter 19
Author's note- Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers. I wish I could send you all review replay but my e-mail is screwed up.
Jake was at the interview area with Shane Douglas. Douglas is his typical self as he speaks into the microphone, "Jake Reed later tonight you are going join with Team 3-D to take on Team Canada. Now if you get the pin or submission then Coach D'Amore must do what ever you say. But if you get pinned or you submit then the member of Team Canada that did it get a US title shot. What are your thoughts?"
"You know Shane Douglas for me this is just another chance to beat up on Team Canada. Now I have no problem with Canadians. Hell Shane my wife is from Toronto. But there is just something about these five guys that makes want to him them. So tonight I can," Jake says. "That's all well and good Jake but lets be honest here. Team Canada has four of the best in TNA. If one of them beats you they get a title match. Plus I don't in the back of you mind I know you are still thinking about RVD," Shane says. Jake just walks away.
Team Canada is in there locker room. "Boys tonight is a big night. Tonight we have a chance to take out four of our enemies. Now if we beat Reed it's a title shot," D'Amore says. "Yeah but Coach if Reed gets the victory he can make you do anything and that makes me nervous," Eric Young said.
"Eric," D'Amore says making him stand up. Scott slaps Eric across the face before continuing, "calm down." "Calm down, do you realize that Jake Reed could order you to disband the team tonight. Then I am all alone, allowing everyone that you guys made me piss off over years to come after me! So don't tell me to calm down," Eric yells waving his arms in the air.
Bobby stand up and slaps Eric, "Eric seriously calm down. Reed can't order us to disband. Can he?" Bobby asks. "No I mean it has to be with in reason," Petey says unsure. "Well what does TNA find in reason? I mean groups and teams break up all the time," A-1 says.
"Why are you guys listening to him? Look it won't matter what Reed plans to make me do if we win. No when we win," D'Amore says. "But if we don't and he wins?" Eric asks. "Eric," Scott says angrily. "I know," Eric says and then slaps himself in the face. "Tell what just to calm you guys down we will make sure we win and then one of you guy takes the US title. Come on boy follow me," Scott says.
Jake, Traci, and AJ are sitting in the cafeteria talking. "So alright Jake what do you have planned for D'Amore?" AJ asked. "I'm not telling," Jake says. "Traci what does he have planned?" AJ asked her. "He hasn't told me," Traci says.
"You haven't told me you haven't your wife. I got to know what is going to happen," AJ says. "Look old buddy I am not going to tell you. But if I get the fall you will love it," Jake says.
Christian Cage come running in. "Team 3-D's been jumped," he yells. "Is it bad?" AJ asked. "I'm not sure the EMT's are working on them," Christian says as the run out. "Was it all three of them?" Jake asked. "Yeah," Christian says.
The four arrived in the trainer's room. All three members of Team 3-D are out and bleeding. "How are they?" Jake asks. "It's bad. There is no way I can clear them to compete tonight," The trainer says.
Larry Zybsko comes in. "Jake I hate t tell you this D'Amore is waving the fact that he has a contract signed and is going to make the match happen. But look if you can find three partner they can replace Team 3-D," Larry says. "Hey don't worry you got one," AJ says. "Two," Christian says. "And I make three," Traci says.
Scott walks in the room. "Oh no you don't young lady. Now while I can't stop AJ and Christian you are not eligible," Scott says. "Well hold I was told I could pick anyone," Jake says.
"That's right anyone that is a wrestler on the TNA roster. Traci is a manger in TNA not a wrestler," D'Amore says before walking away. "What the hell you would think he want me in the match the guy is such a sexiest big. He probably thinks I would be a weak link," Traci says. "Expect he isn't stupid. He knows that you are a great wrestler. Plus this way he still has numbers advantage," Jake says.
"Hold on we still got some time. How can we get?" Christian says. "I'm not sure. Rhino already had a match with James Storm. Christopher Daniels is in Japan. Sting is off this week," AJ says.
"Hold on there is someone I might be able to convince. Larry if I could get a wrestler will you give him a contract even for just one night?" Jake asks. "I will," Dixie says walking in. "Thanks Ms. Carter. I need to make a call," Jake says walking out taking out his cell phone.
"Give me one good reason to do this for you Reed," The man on the other end of the phone line. "Look you and I have had our problems in the past but this you chance to make a big Impact well at Impact," Jake says. "Funny," the guy says. "Look about the statement you can make if you come in here and beat a member of Team Canada," Jake says.
The other guy is quiet for a minute. "Alright I'll be there," he finally says. "Thank you I will talk to Dixie and get a contract for you," Jake says. "You're just lucky I am in town," the guy says.
In there locker room team Canada is finishing getting ready for there match. "Boys it's the eleventh hour for Jake Reed," Scott Says. "My watch says it 8:15," Eric says. "It's an expression Eric. I am saying that Reed is almost out of time," Scott says.
Jake is waiting in the parking lot with Traci. "Jake maybe he decided not to show," Traci says checking her watch. "I wish I could he he'll show like they do on TV but I can't. I mean this guy might very well leave me high and dry with out warning," Jake says.
A car pulls up and the driver honks the horn. Jake approaches the car with a contract in hand. The driver side window rolls down. I believe you have something for me to sign," The driver says. Jake gives the driver the contract who quickly signs it. The driver parks his car and gets out.
Jake gives the contract to Traci. "Do me a favor take this to Dixie. I want to make sure no one knows he is here until I am ready," Jake says. "Sure thing," Traci says taking the contract.
Team Canada music plays as they make there way to the ring. AJ was out next followed by Christian. Jake and Traci are waiting for there music to play. Jake turns to face the mystery guy. "You ready?" Jake asks. "I'm always ready," The guy says.
Jake makes his way out with Traci. After he gets in the ring he takes a microphone, "Well folks I managed to get one more guy to add to this team. So please welcome.."
