Chapter 5
Author's note- Who oh who will I bring in now. My goal is give you just enough that you have an idea of who it is but you never know for sure.
It was time for Impact and things were tense between Jake and Daniels. "What the hell is going on with you two?" Brother Ray asked finally. "Ask Reed," Daniels says. "Look Chris I get it you don't want to work with the guy. But I think he could help us. Besides he has more of a reason to hate you then you have to hate him," Jake says. "That is what he wants everyone to believe. But the truth is he cause of all of it," Chris says.
"Chris can you let it go? Look I understand not letting old rivers go because I will never work with RVD…" "Who the hell are guys talking about?" Sting asks. "Go ahead Reed tell them. Because I don't think I am the only guy that won't work with him," Chris says.
"I see you haven't changed Chris," A voice says. Everyone turns around and sees the guy Jake wants to bring in. "Him," Brother Ray says. "Holy crap," Brother Runt says. "In the words of Joey Styles, "Oh my God," Brother Devon says.
Chris is furious. "I told you Reed if he was here I am out," Chris says as he starts to leave. Jake grapes him and pulls him back. "Look I didn't tell him to be here. He just showed up," Jake says. "Yeah right, I am out of here," Chris says turning to leave. "Chris hold on. You hate me for all that I did to you. I hate you for what you have done to me. But I am willing to put it behind me if you are," The guys says.
"If there is one thing I know it's that every time you pat somebody on the back you are just looking for the place to drive the knife," Christopher says. "Can the rest of you give a minute to talk," the guy says. The rest of the guys and Traci leave. "Fine you want to talk, you have one minute," Chris says.
"Look Chris we were friends once. We spent years traveling together working for every scum bag promoter there is. Hell I remember when we went to Japan for the first time," The guy says. "We were friends. We were friends as long as it was on your terms. I remember when I broke my neck on Nitro you never called," Chris says.
"That was a mistake. But I had my own issues. My marriage was falling apart. I had a young son. My checks were bouncing every week. So excuse me for having my world fall apart," The guy yells. "Oh and sweating it out on the Indy scene was so easy. And lets not forget what happened in ROH," Chris says.
"Were getting off track. I don't want to bring up the past. Maybe I was a bad friend. But I'm trying to change. I came here to help Jake," The guy says. "You're here to get back on TV. What's the matter you burn you bridge in Japan or you having another falling out with ROH?" Chris asks.
"I came here because I care about Reed. Because some how he nearly lost everything but came back. I gave him one small break and he ran with it," The guy says sincerely. "You're being honest," Chris says. "Yeah I am. Look Chris I want prove to my wife that I cam be the man she wants to be and be a man my son can be proud of," The guy says. "Alright I work with you but if you give me one good reason I will punch you right in the mouth," Chris says.
Alex Shelly was changing in the X-division locker room. He had gotten strange looks from guys like Dutt and Lethal when he first went in there. He had been using the same dressing room as the Jarrett army but now he was done with them. It was time for him to step up and become a contender for the X-division title.
"Hey Alex what's the deal man?" Scott D'Amore asked as he walked up to Alex. "I told you wide load I am done with Jarrett and his army. From now on I am my own man," Alex says. "Look boy we don't let people leave. So you need to take you little camera and get back to work," D'Amore said threateningly. "Shut up fat ass. Get the hell out of here," Alex commanded as he turned around to start getting dressed for his match.
Scott forced Alex to turn around. Alex got made and punched the Coach right in the mouth. Scott fell right on his ass. "You will pay for that," Scott says as he gets up to leave holding his jaw.
Outside the dressing room, Jake's group was tying to hear what was going on with Chris and the mystery guy. "Can you hear anything?" Rhino asks. "I might if you would shut your trap," Christian says pressing his ear to the door. "Well if they were killing each other we would hear the struggle," Brother Runt says.
Larry Zybsko comes up to the group. "What the hell is going on around her?" Larry asks. "Daniels is interviewing for a new member we are giving them some space," Jake says. "Like I have said before I don't want a war in TNA. But like everybody else you all ignore me. So I am going to do the one thing I can do, so Reed get ready you have a match up next," Larry says.
"Does Brown have match?" Jake asked. "Yes he does with Cassidy Riley," Larry says. "Hold on who does my husband have to wrestle?" Traci asks. "Well you see Jake is a champion so has to fight a higher standard of wrester even in non title matches," Larry says. "Oh what line of crap is that? Tell us who he is wrestling," Sting says. "Senshi or Low Ki as he was known when you wrestled him in Japan Reed," Larry says as he walks away.
"More smoke but it's not the gun," Jake says. "I think we need put you plan to get proof in action right now," Rhino says. "Yeah but I don't want to leave in case that in there blows up," Jake says. The door to the dressing room opens and Chris walks out. "Daniels what happened?" AJ asks.
"I am going to work with him for now," Christopher says. "Great I have to get ready for my match," Jake says walking in the room. "What match?" Chris asks. The group explains everything. "That SOB. And he used the line that Jake is a champion and needs to fight a higher standard is the biggest line of crap I have ever heard," Chris says.
"Hey guys look check out the monitor," Brother Runt says. The guys look and see what is going on in the ring. Jake looks at the mystery guy and says, "Stay here I don't want Jarrett to know you are here yet. Everyone else let's go," Jake yells as he runs to the ring.
Alex had been in the middle of the ring about to pin Elix Skipper when the entire Jarrett army jumped him. He was no being beat down badly. Jake and his group hit the ring and the battle was on. Jarrett and crew decided to retreat. Jake and AJ helped Alex to the back.
Alex has just been checked out by the trainer and is leaving the training room. Jake walks up behind him. "So did you finally get sick of them or did you out live your usefulness?" Jake asks. "First one," Alex says. "Glade to see you finally grew a brain," Jake says.
"Bite me Reed," Alex says. "I won't do that but I might kill you for being stupid enough to film me again," Jake says. Alex is shocked. "Yeah I have seen you. I have surveillance cameras at my house now," Jake says. "So what are you going to do beat me up? You're a little late," Alex says.
"No I want to give a chance. A chance to get revenge on Jarrett and everyone else in that faction," Jake says. "I'm listening," Alex says. "First tell me what you know about Jarrett and Larry Zybsko," Alex says. "What are you getting at?" Alex asked. "Is Larry working with Jarrett to make sure Jeff is protected?" Jake asks.
"Look Jeff only gives people what he thinks they need to know and if he is then he didn't think I needed to know that. But it would make a lot of since," Alex says. "How so?" Jake asked. "He had all this info that you would to be high up in the company to get. At first I thought it was D'Amore but he knew this stuff before D'Amore said," Alex says.
"Ok now for my offer are you willing to get some dirt on Larry?" Jake asks. "No problem if you can use to take Jeff down then great. So am I in your group now?" Alex asks. "Hell no, I don't trust you. But you may be the only guy that find out Larry and Jeff," Jake says. "Jake you match is next," Traci yells out from down the hall. "I got to go," Jake says.
