Chapter 21
Author note- This may be last chapter for a while I have to have my wisdom teeth removed soon.
It was the last Impact before Lockdown. No one in the Uprising was expecting Jake to show up. Jarrett was in the ring talking about what he was done trying to attack Jake's family. But he was trying to make Jake seem like a bad guy. Of course no one was buying it. "You people don't get it all I was doing was driving around the crap hole Omaha and Reed snaps," Jarrett says.
Jake's music started to play. Jake makes his way to the ring. "First the only reason I am not killing you ring now is so I can take the belt. But getting to your point so just happened to be driving around Omaha and would up parked right next to my parent's house. If you think I am buying that after everything these people have seen you pull then you stupider that that haircut looks," Jake says.
"Oh I'm stupid," Jeff says mockingly. "Well you walk around with that hair. In those cloths and you call yourself King of the Mountain despite the fact you only won that match once. So you can be the judge," Jake says. "If I'm so stupid then why did you wind up walking into the trap," Jeff says.
"Alright Jeff I'll bite. What's the trap? Because you and I know the Uprising is in the back and well be out here to make the save," Jake says. "Yeah but I don't think they get there fast enough," Jeff says. "There?" Jake asks. "Yeah watch this live footage," Jeff says as he bails out of the ring.
A shoot of the Reed family home is shown with AMW and standing in front. "Well boy it seems Jeff was right you were so stupid you left you poor parents all home alone," Storm says. "Well maybe we should just go in and see how there doing," Harris says. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you two drunks," Jake yells. "Or what Reed you going to get the bat and throw it at us," Harris says as he opens the door. "Yeah stupid your all the way in Orlando and that like… far away," Storm says not being able to do the math as to how far apart the two cites are.
AMW walk into the house a loud crash is heard and few more. Then Harris is thrown out the front door followed by Storm. The camera points at the front door and out walks AJ and Rhino with baseball bats. "See that is why you shouldn't have gone in there. Because AJ and Rhino have baseball bats," Jake says.
AMW get up and run away. "Ok now that is done with. Jarrett ever since I came to TNA I have been a target. Now be a pro wrestler I was ready for that. But you crossed the line. First you punched the woman I love in the face. Then you bring in RVD to drag my brother's name though the mud. You have jumped my time and again. You pointed that sick freak Abyss after my brother and now not once but twice you try to attack my parents. But at Lockdown I am going to get revenge! I am going to leave you broken and bloody and looking up at the lights as I leave with the NWA title," Jake says.
Jake comes to the back and Traci greets him. "I am so glade you were able to get AJ and Rhino to look after your parents," Traci says. "Yeah me to. I figured Jeff might try again," Jake says. "It's just a few more days and then you have your match," Traci says. "Yeah, you know after I am done with him the war games will seem like one of his better days," Jake says.
"Let's just go home," Traci says. "Yeah I did what I wanted to do. The rest of the guys can handle things," Jake says. Jake and Traci leave knowing the next time the are in the Impact zone will be the biggest match of Jake's life.
Later that night Traci woke up and looked over and saw that Jake wasn't in bed. She heard the TV in the living room. She walks out to see what is going on. She sees Jake sitting on the sofa watching a tape of one of his old matches. "Introducing the challenger he is from Omaha NE, Jake Reed. And the champion from Metropolis he is Chris Hero," The ring announcer on the tape says.
"Jake what are you doing?" Traci asks. "I couldn't sleep so I decided to watch some old tapes. Just trying to fine tune any little detail I can," Jake says after pausing the tape. "Jake you really need to come to bed," Traci says. "Why I haven't been able to sleep all week," Jake says. "You are really starting to get nervous about the match," Traci says. "I've been nervous ever since I first made the challenge. It just been getting worse every day," Jake says.
"Jake your one of the best wrestler in the world right now. I have seen you grow from some nervous kid to a man. And no matter if you win or lose you will always have me," Traci says. Jake pulls her into a kiss. "I love you and as long I have you I don't need titles," Jake says as they kiss again.
