Chapter 3
It had been a week since Jake's team had gone against Jarrett's army. Jarrett was in his locker room with Gail, AMW, Team Canada, RVD and Heymen. Abyss and James Mitchell had just come in. Alex was filming when the door flew open and Monty Brown came in.
"Jarrett you have a damn good reason for demanding for me to be here. That reason better be that you are giving me a world title match," Brown says. "Calm down Monty look for the millionth time I don't make title matches its TNA management. But I have a way to make sure they have to give you a title match," Jeff says. "I'm listening," Brown says. "Look Monty you know that TNA loves to please there new project. The way for you to get a title match it destroy there new project," Jeff says.
"I see what you are saying. So tell me who do I have t Ponce to get my title match," Brown said. "I think you are going like this because you can a double champion all you have to do is beat Jake Reed take his US title and then TNA management will have to give you match with me for the World title," Jeff says. "Oh I'll do that but just be ready for you match with me," Monty says.
Monty leaves as RVD approaches Jeff. "You were right Jeff, he is a puppet all you have to pull the strings and he dances," RVD says. "Like I said Reed is going to fail like all the others," Jeff says.
Jake and AJ are talking. "So is everybody here?" Jake asked. "Yeah pretty much, Rhino and Christian are in the building he had a meeting with management first," AJ says. "Well tell everyone to be ready because knowing Jeff he has something planned already," Jake says.
"Reed!" Monty Brown yells as he walks over to them. "What do you want?" Jake asked. "First I would learn to respect someone like me," Brown says. "Is this going anywhere? Because if it's not then I am leaving," Jake says. "I just wanted to let you know you are now the pray the Alpha Male is hunting," Monty says. "You know what Brown if you want title match then go talk to TNA management. Because unlike Jarrett I don't duck anyone. Until then I have a match to get ready for," Jake says before walking off.
"The following non-title match is set for one fall. Introducing first from 20,000 leagues under the sea, Sharkboy," David Penzar said as Sharkboy came to the ring. Jake's music starts to play. "His opponent accompanied by Traci Brooks. He is from Omaha NE. He is NWA United States heavyweight champion, "The Omaha Outlaw" Jake Reed," Penzar said as Jake hit the ring.
Jake gives Traci a kiss for luck then removes his leather jacket and hands it to her. The bell rings, Jake and Sharkboy lock up. Jake forces Sharkboy to his knee. Sharkboy is able to get back up. Jake gets him in a bear hug and hits an over head belly to belly suplex. Sharkboy gets to his feet but Jake nail him with a stiff punch.
They tie up again but Sharkboy turns it into a jaw breaker. Jake staggers away checking his jaw. Sharkboy gives him the shark bite. Jake climbs out of the ring. "How do I fall for that every freaking time," Jake yells. Jake gets back on the apron blocks a punch and drivers a shoulder into Sharkboy's gut. Jake uses the sunset flip. Count of one, count of two, Sharkboy kicks out.
Both men are up but Jake hits discos lariat taking Sharkboy down again. Monty Brown hits the ring and pounces Jake. Brown starts to put the boots to Jake. AJ and Daniels hit the ring to chase him off. Brown is able to fend them off. Team 3-D comes to the ring but AMW and Alex Shelly cut them off. The light's go out, when they come back on Sting is in the ring and chases off Monty.
Jake gets up and tries to chase after Monty. The guys are forced to hold him back. Traci steps in front of him. "Jake calm down. You get your chance for payback," she says. Jake starts to calm down and stops fighting to get free.
Larry Zybsko is in his office when the door flies open and Jake walk in. "I trust you saw what happened out there," Jake says. "Yeah Jake I saw what happened. Monty Brown attacked you," Larry says. "Yeah well make a match me and Brow. That way I can take Jarrett's little bitch," Jake says.
"Alright fine Jake you got the match," Larry says. "Good," Jake says as he turns to leave. "Hold on Reed. We need to talk. I don't like the idea of a gang war in TNA," Larry says. "I really don't give a dam what you like. As far as I am concerned you are just as guilty as guys like D'Amore. Because ever since you came into power you have really done nothing to stop Jarrett. I even think a few times you helped him. Like when Raven got screwed out of the NWA world title," Jake says.
"Oh don't you start it took me forever to put that fire out," Larry says. "All I know is that seems a little weird that Jarrett always gets title matches. He and his boys can do what ever they want and they are never are punished," Jake says. "Now you listen here," Larry yells. "I'm just thinking out loud. Oh by the way Larry my dad has a lot more luck combing over from left," Jake says as he leaves. Larry is pissed off.
Jake walks into the locker room. The rest of his team is there. "How'd it go?" Sting asks. "I got the match," Jake says. "Is something else going on?" Rhino asks. "Yeah, I think Larry is helping Jarrett. He made it a point to say he doesn't like the idea of war in TNA," Jake says. "Didn't TNA management look in to that before?" Traci asks. "Yeah they did but they never found anything. But that doesn't mean he isn't, and it would make a lot of since," Jake says.
"It would. I mean Jarrett has never really been punished for the crap he pulls. I can't believe I didn't see it. I mean I lived it once with Bischoff and the nwo," Sting says. "So what do we do about it?" AJ asks. "Right now we really can't do anything. So let's just get ready. Sting, Christian, and Rhino you guys have that six man tag with Jarrett, RVD, and Abyss at Unbreakable," Jake says. "We'll be ready," Christian says.
