Chapter 11
News of the attack on Team 3-D spread quickly. All three would be out for mouths. The police were even evolved, but Jarrett and the rest of the army gave AMW an alibi. Even though Team 3-D claimed they saw AMW they had no real proof and AMW's lawyer claimed Team 3-D were paranoid and confused by the injuries. The final clincher was D'Amore producing an eye witness that had a photo of him with AMW at a bar.
At Impact Jake and Traci walked into the locker room and looked at there depleted team. No one says anything. Jake puts his bag down when Alex Shelly comes running in. "I go something and it's big," Alex says. "What is it?" Jake asks. "Where's a place we can watch this?" Alex asks pulling out a tape. "We don't have a TV in here," Sting says. "Well come on then we you need to see this," Alex says leaving.
"Reed do you really think this is worth something?" Christian asks still not trusting Alex. "I think were down four guys. And if we get Larry out of power it hurts Jarrett and we may get Rhino back," Jake says. "Come on Christian is worth a shot," Steve says.
In the Jarrett Army locker room it's all smiles. Jeff takes a beer from AMW and makes a toast. "To the end of the Uprising. Team 3-D is done and Rhino is at home and won't be back in time to save his buddies. After Hard Justice we will have all the gold. I will retain my belt. AMW those tag belts aren't going anywhere. Petey is going to take the X-division title back to Canada and finally Abyss will destroy Jake Reed and win the US title," Jeff says.
"Jeff it not problem once I hit the most devastating move in all of wrestling the Canadian Destroyer I will strap the X belt around my waist and after the big guy destroys Reed, I will be more that happy to take care of Traci," Petey says. "Hey speaking of Abyss. Where the hell are he and Mitchell?" A-1 asks. "Let's just say they are doing something that Rob and I never got a chance to do," Paul says.
"Oh I can't to see what that is," Jeff says. "Jeff you're going to love it. I think it will work out even better with Abyss doing it," RVD says. "Jeff you are going to love it," Paul says. "Alright you two spill," Steiner says.
The Uprising and Alex are in the editing room. Alex has shown some of the older tapes to get everyone familiar with the guy that is meeting with Larry. Alex loads the new tape. "Alright everybody just watch this," Alex says. The tape shows the guy slipping Larry a new note. This time Alex follows the mystery guy.
As the tape plays Alex follows the guy to his apartment. "Ok hold I need to fast forward a bit to the next time he leaves," Alex says. When Alex gets to where he wants he plays the tape again. We see Alex follows the guy again only this time he drives to a beach house. He knocks on the door and a woman opens the door.
"Oh my god that's Jill. That's Jeff's wife," Sting says. "Way to go Alex," Jake says. "So this is it there working together. We can get rid of Larry," Traci says. "Guys this isn't enough. All it proves is the guy knows Jill Jarrett. I mean for all we know he land lord," Chris says. "Cue ball's right," Steve says.
"Alright Alex we need you to find out who this guy is. And what the hell is on those notes that Larry keeps getting," Jake says. "I'm on it. After my match I'm out of here and back on this guy," Alex says. "Alright guys were getting close. If we can prove Larry is working with Jeff then he is fired so fat what's left of his hair will blow off. Chris you need to keep that belt. I'll take Abyss down. We can't really do anything about the tag belt right now but we can get the world belt off Jeff," Jake says.
"Have you figured out who you're picking to give to the shot to?" Steve asks. "Well no," Jake says. "Dude you only a couple of weeks," Alex says. Jake gives him a look that makes Alex shut up. "Look I we have to get the belt off Jeff so we need the guy that can beat Jeff. But with the exception of Steve you guys all beat Jeff but to be fair you have only wrestled Jeff once," Jake says.
"Cut the crap Jake. I know why you haven't picked yet. It's because you afraid that who ever you pick will cause the three to get jealous and tear this group apart," Sting says. "Ok that's part of it," Jake says. "Look Jake I would love to be world champion again but my only real goal is to take out Jeff. I don't need to wear a gold belt to do that. So if you don't pick me I won't care," Sting says. "You know I have won every world title I have ever gone after. I came to TNA to help you and if helping you means not being world champ I don't care," Steve says.
"Same goes for me," AJ says. "Ok pick me," Christian says joking. "Alright I know who I am going to pick," Jake says when his phone starts ringing. "Hello… Ok mom calm down what happened to Ryan?" Jake says clearly worried. "Who is Ryan?" Christian asks. "His younger brother," Traci says. "He's fine just shaken up. Ok mom I'll call you later," Jake says as he hangs up the phone and leaves with out saying anything. The rest of the Uprising follows.
Jake heads to the ring and take a microphone. "Jarrett get the hell out here! I mean right now!" Jake yells as the rest of the uprising come out. "Dam it Jarrett I mean it get out here now! I am going to give you the ass kicking that you deserved a long time ago!" Jake yells.
Jarrett's music starts to play as he, Gail, AMW, RVD, Paul, and all of Team Canada come out. "The only reason I am out here Reed is so you can tell me who gets a title shot," Jeff says. "Don't piss me off Jeff," Jake says.
"Reed you shouldn't be mad at Jeff for you see this was all my doing," James Mitchell says as he appears on the jumbo screen the back round shows he is not in the building or even Florida.
"Mitchell I am going to kill you and that big freak," Jake says. "I can only imaging how mad you will be when you it," James says. A video plays on the big screen. "Alright you need to just be quiet make sure you record everything and you won't get hurt," James says to the camera guy. James walks over to a bunch of teenagers that are talking by a wall. Abyss is close behind.
"Witch one of you are Ryan Reed?" James asks. One kid turns around. "I am," the kid says. Abyss grabs on to Ryan's throat and starts choking him. Some of Ryan's friends try to pull him off but can't. "Listen closely boy and if you are good this will be over soon. But if you make trouble I might make it last all night," James says.
Ryan can't breathe so he stops tying to get out of the choke. "Smart boy, now Reed take a look at this. It's almost a mirror image of what will happen at Hard Justice. See the fear in his eyes and see the color drain from his face. But for you Jake it gets worse for you see this only one way you will be tortured. Abyss let him go," James says. Abyss lets go and Ryan falls to the ground trying to regain his breath. The tape stops and Mitchell does his evil laugh on the big screen.
Jake is about to explode with anger and starts to go after Jarrett and crew who are laughing it up. The rest of the Uprising pulls Jake to back because they know they wouldn't stand a chance since they so out numbered. "You're all going to pay for that!" Jake yells.
