Chapter 19
Jake and Traci were in there rental car driving though Omaha. "You know this place never really changes," Jake says. "So is there anything you want to do before we see your family?" Traci asks. "Not really. Hey look over there that is Millard South my old high school," Jake says pointing at the school. "So do you think the football coach still hates you for quitting the team to be a wrestler?" Traci asks remembering one of the stories Jake has told her over the years.
"Of course he still hates me. I was his star running back and I quit right before the post season when we were undefeated. We lose in the first round to Millard North our arch rivals. The next year they redraw the district lines and they haven't had a real shot at the state title since," Jake says. "Well it worked out pretty well for you," Traci says.
Jeff was on the phone talking to Chris Harris and James Storm in a three way call. "Hold on Jeff you want me and Storm to fly to Omaha and you expect us to pay for it," Harris says. "Does he know how much beer money that is going to take," James Storm yells out drunkenly. "Look you two I am leaving right now I mean I am packing as we are talking I don't have time to make your arrangements," Jeff says.
"Why exactly is it so important that we go to Oklahoma?" James Storm asks. "It's Omaha James," Chris says. "Hold on doesn't that little moron Jake Reed come from Omaha?" Storm asks. "Yes James and I just found out he is going to be in Omaha," Jeff says. "Oh I get it now. You want to take out the Omaha Outlaw in Omaha before Lockdown," Chris says.
"Yes so are you guys in?" Jeff asks. "I'm in but you better make sure we win our match with the Naturals at Lockdown," Harris says. "No problem, now remember there is a Hilton hotel connected to the Qwest center that is where we are meeting up," Jeff says. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Hilltop hotel at the West center," Storms says. "Don't worry Jeff I'll meet up with him and get him where we need to be," Harris says.
Jake and Traci pulled up to the hotel they are staying at and checked in. "I still can't believe there is a Hilton in Omaha," Traci says as they head for the room. "Well it's pretty new they built it right along side the Qwest Center. You before I moved to Orlando I mean some big act were playing right there. The Rolling Stones, Kiss and Aerosmith. And those Sport Entertainers do at least two shows here the last few years," Jake says.
"Well TNA is growing all the time so maybe they can do a show here," Traci says. "I would love to do that. I mean the last time I actually wrestled here I was just starting to find my grove again," Jake says. "Wow now your back at the NWA US champ and number one contender to the NWA world title," Traci says. "Look lets not talk about anything that reminds me of the queen of the hill lets put our stuff in the room and the family," Jake says.
Jeff is making one more call as he drives to the Nashville airport. "Larry tell me what the address is," Jeff says. "33976 Ridge Street. Oh and Jeff get a few shots on Reed for me," Larry says. "No problem, AMW and I are on our way," Jeff says. "Good because that SOB needs to pay," Larry says.
Jake rings the door bell to a nice house. The door opens and a man in his fifties opens the door. "Hello son," Jake's father Bill says. "Hey dad man's it good to be home," Jake says as he hugs his father. Unknown to Jake Jarrett and AMW are on there way.
