Chapter 12
Jake was on the phone at his house. "Alright Ryan I just wanted to make sure you are ok. Don't worry I am going to kick that big freak's ass," Jake says as he hangs up the phone. Traci who has been sitting on the sofa looks up. "So how is he doing?" She asks. "Oh he is fine. His girl friend was more freaked out than he was," Jake says. "Jake I hope you not made that the guys pulled you out of the ring. But you have to know how badly were out numbered," Traci says. "Yeah I know I just was so mad. Ryan little brother and he is still a teenager," Jake says.
"I understand that. But you need to be smart," Traci says. "Yeah well I'm calm now. I take care of Abyss and Mitchell at the PPV," Jake says. "Expect that match plays right into Abyss's strengths since it is hardcore," Traci says trying not to let him see how worried she really is. "I can do hardcore or have you forgotten the two out three falls match with RVD. Plus all the E-style matches in Japan and I did work CZW," Jake says. "But Abyss is a monster," Traci says.
Jake takes her in his arms. "I'm going to be fine. Alright Traci trust me," Jake says. "I do trust. But you my husband I have a right to worry about you," Traci says. "Ah that sweet but if you freak out about every tough match I have you are going to go old and gray by next year," Jake says. "This from the guy that checks his hair line every day and uses two mirrors to check the back," Traci says.
Alex was driving in his car back to the guy's apartment. Alex still needed to find out the guys name after that maybe he could find out what role he played in this drama with Jarrett and Larry. Suddenly it dawned on Alex the easiest way to find out the guys name. He knew the apartment number so why not check the mail boxes. "God I can dim some times," Alex thinks as gets out of the car and walks up and checks the boxes and found no name. "Figures," Alex says out loud.
A young woman walks up behind Alex. "Excuse me are you Alex Shelly?" She asks. Alex sees an opportunity to get the info he needs. "Yeah I am. I'm looking for a friend of mine. He just moved and I know the apartment number but the address he gave me is smudged. So does a Bo Evans live in apartment 4A?" Alex asks. "Oh no Mike Brady lives in 4A. You know there is another complex right down the street maybe that is where you friend is," The woman says.
"Must be," Alex says. "Hold on," the woman yells. Alex thinks he is caught. "Yes," he says. "Can I get an autograph for my nephew?" The woman asks. "Sure thing," Alex says breathing a sigh of relief and smiling knowing he has some key info.
Abyss and James Mitchell were in a hotel room. "You do wonderful Abyss, and soon you will the NWA United States title. That is after you destroy Jake Reed. You have full permission to tear Reed about. Break him, make him beg for mercy. Crack open his skull and let his brains ooze out. You can do what ever want and leave him broken and wanting to die," James says. Behind his masks Abyss has a sick smile on and it his warped and twisted mind he was thinking of what he was going to do to Reed.
James is running his thumb over the handle of his cane. "Soon Abyss it will be soon. And then after Reed we move on and destroy each member of the Uprising," James says.
Alex was on his cell phone making a call. "Yeah the name is Mike Brady," Alex says. "Alright Alex I'll see what I can do. But it might take a while I have a few open cases," The man on the other end says. "Well thanks for your help old buddy," Alex says. "No problem, talk to you later," The guy says. "Some times it really helps to a child hood best friend that became a PI," Alex thinks.
Jake is watching footage of Abyss. He is trying to figure out a counter to the Black Hole Slam. "Any luck?" Traci asks walking into the room. "Not really. I think I know to be careful charring him, but one he gets his hands on you really can't to anything," Jake says. "Looks like you best chance is do a baseball slide every time you are coming at him. Because like you said the set up is always the same you coming charging at him either you charge or he wipes you off the ropes," Traci says.
"The thing is if I get so punch drunk that I don't even realize what is happing until I hit the ground," Jake says. "Also how are you going to finish him since you can't use the Death Valley Driver?" Traci asks. "What a minute who says I can't," Jake says. "Jake he is 6'8 and over 300lbs. In order to hit the DVD you to get up on your shoulders look you are strong but not that strong," Traci says. "Wow thanks for the vote of confidence baby," Jake says.
"Jake I'm not trying to insult you but you have to think about these things," Traci says. "I am thinking about these things. But to be honest I think I hit the Driver," Jake says. "You already have a bad leg do you want a bad back," Traci says. "Why are we fighting?" Jake asks.
"Because we love each other," Traci says. "Oh ok, Look I'm done thinking about Abyss tonight. I want to think about anything else," Jake says. "Ok who are giving the title shot to," Traci asks. "Well it's..."
