Chapter 13 : Difficulties
Orlando Prison
Walking through the prison to talk to Cledus was a different experience for Grace entirely and while she wasn ' t showing her fear to the prisoners , she was definitely grateful that Chase was there with her as Grace knew she would have freaked out if he hadn ' t been there . Chase wasn ' t afraid of the prisoners , but he was still worried that Grace may reopen some old wounds that had closed up five years ago from when she was being held by some bad people .
" You two are definitely not here for the scenery , " said a familiar voice that made both of them look at each other and turn around to see Kid Kash in his cell .
" Looks like five years has been good to you . " Chase said .
" Shut up , Stevens , you ' re not that cute despite what that pathetic wife of your ' s thinks , boy . " Kash said .
" You can ' t be making many friends in here , Kash , " Grace said holding Chase back knowing he was about to go off if Kash kept mentioning Traci .
" Who needs friends ? " Kash asked .
" Sanders was your friend . " Grace said .
" Sanders was a business partner , a means to an end , he made me money and got people out of the way that may have caused me problems , we were never friends . " Kash made it clear to them .
" Did you know ? " Grace asked .
" Know about what ? " Kash asked .
" About me and Katie way back in the beginning ? Did you know that Sanders and Cledus had us like Gayda did ? " Grace asked .
" I knew , but it really wasn ' t my business , I had other issues to deal with at the time . " Kash shrugged like it wasn ' t a big deal to him .
" It wasn ' t your business that children were being kidnapped and tortured , what type of man are you ? " Chase asked .
" One that survives , Chase and one day you may wish you were more like me . " Kash said .
" I would never wish to be like you . " Chase stated .
" How much do you know about Sanders and his obsession with children ? " Grace asked .
" Not nearly as much as Cledus or Gayda , but what I do know is that you caused them more trouble than any other kid in the past . Infact , I am pretty sure that Gayda made a major mistake by sending Grace to him as you weren ' t really his type like Katie was . " Kash said .
" Type ? " Chase wondering what would make Sanders target a kid .
" It has something to do with the age of the kids , ask Cledus , he ' s in here somewhere , " Kash laying back on his prison bed .
" Kash , " Chase said .
Kash just rolled over ignoring him making Chase glare at the man as Grace put a hand on her friend ' s shoulder .
" He ' s not going to tell us anymore , so , let ' s go talk to Cledus , " Grace whispered to Chase .
They finally made it to Cledus who looked a little shocked to see them , but didn ' t say anything like Kash did .
" Cledus , " Grace said .
" Strange how you don ' t like cages , but would come here of all places . " Cledus said .
" We ' re not here on pleasure , but because we have questions for you that I would like to have answered . " Grace said .
" You always did have a lot of questions , when we first got you , you asked more questions than anyone else John would bring to us , even Katie didn ' t ask a lot of questions due to being to afraid . " Cledus shrugged .
" Why Katie and myself ? " Grace asked .
" You , I don ' t really know , you were to old to be Johnny ' s type , Katie when she first came was more his age range and like most of the others he let her go when she got to old for him . " Cledus said .
" To old , so , he had an age range and liked little girls , what was the point ? " Chase asked .
" He liked both girls and boys , some of the ones that gave in , became his top clients , he turned them into business partners , more so boys than girls , but the ones he couldn ' t control he would let them go to find a way to survive on their own . " Cledus said .
" Did he ever do business with a guy named Domino ? " Grace asked making Cledus look at her .
" He didn ' t do business with Domino , but he did do business with a guy that Domino works for , not passing around kids mind you . " Cledus said .
" What type of business ? " Chase asked .
" Military strategy and torture . " Cledus said .
" Who did Domino work for that was in contact with Sanders ? " Grace asked .
" Kevin Nash , " Cledus said making Chase and Grace look at each other in shock as their jaws dropped open .
" He has something against Jarrett and Sting , " Grace said .
" And he is a big leader and a pretty powerful guy in wrestling . " Chase said .
" Where is the proof of this , Cledus ? " Grace asked .
" Look , you can ' t come in the cell with me due to issues I won ' t talk about , but let me talk to the guard and I will send you what I know . " Cledus said .
" Sure , " Grace and Chase both said looking at each other as they stepped out to the waiting area of the prison until the guard brought out piece of paper with the info on the paper to the documents .
" Computer stuff , we can always give this to the Motorcity Machine Guns and Johnny Devine if he is able to do so . " Grace said .
" Right , let ' s go talk to the others as this is very shocking and disturbing news . " Chase said .
" Yeah , " Grace said as they left the prison .
Mall
Not to long after Chase and Grace left to talk to Cledus , Andy and Andy Jr. went out to the mall for some reason that was confusing Fangs .
" Dad , why are we here ? " Andy Jr. asked confused .
" Mine and your mother ' s anniversary is coming up and I need to get her something . " Andy answered looking at his son .
" Let me guess , you need your brilliant sidekick son ' s opinion . " Andy Jr. said .
" Yeah , something like that , " Andy looked at his son holding back a laugh .
" Don ' t worry dad , Vampire Warrior , has your back . " Andy Jr. said .
" Right , " Andy said as they went in a store that Debra liked at mall which had a lot of girl stuff in it making Andy Jr. roll his eyes .
" Uhg , the only time I come into a girl ' s store is when Talia drags me into one . " Andy Jr. thought to himself looking around as his dad went down one of the isles .
" Fangs , " someone called him making him jump and see Angela Smith , a girl from his school that he liked a lot and seemed to like him but Andy Jr. wasn ' t sure if he was ready to say anything to her due to the issues at school .
" Hey , Angela , " Andy Jr. smiled .
" Sorry , I startled you , " Angela chuckled .
" Its okay , I was thinking about something else . " Andy Jr. said .
" Oh , what are you doing here ? " Angela asked .
" My dad was picking up something for my mom , you ? " Andy Jr. said .
" My aunt was checking on messages from my dad , " Angela said .
" Is he still overseas ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" Yeah , " Angela said .
" Do you know when he will be back ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" Not yet , so , what about you ? You ' ve missed a couple of days of school , when will you be back ? " Angela asked .
" I ' ve had some personal issues going on that has kept me away from school lately , but I should be back soon , " Andy Jr. said .
Andy looked around to see where his son had wandered off to and saw him speaking to a girl a little shocked , but smiling as he walked over to the kids .
" Hey dad this is Angela Smith , she is a friend from school . " Andy Jr. said .
" It ' s nice to meet one of Junior ' s friends . " Andy said making Fangs look at his dad for calling him Junior which he has never done realizing his dad was trying to be funny .
" Fangs talks about his family a lot , you guys must be close . " Angela said .
" Family has a big meaning to us , I ' m sure it does to you as well . " Andy said .
" It ' s a little different as my dad is away a lot which means most of the time it ' s just my mom and me . " Angela said .
Andy Jr. looked at Angela knowing what it was like to have a dad that was on the road , but at least he knew that his dad would be home at the end of the day where Angela wasn ' t always sure when her ' s would be home . They talked a little more before having to leave which Angela gave Andy Jr. a hug before leaving as Fangs turned three different shades of red as he smiled at getting hugged by the prettiest girl in the world in front of his dad .
" Turning red there , kid . " Andy said after they had gotten in the car .
" Junior ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" You looked a little nervous , so , I thought you may need a laugh . " Andy shrugged .
" Thank you , dad , when did you know that mom was the one ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" The first day I laid eyes on her , why ? " Andy asked .
" Angela is the one , dad , " Andy Jr. said .
" Have you ever asked her out ? " Andy asked .
" No sir , " Andy Jr. shook his head .
" Why not ? " Andy asked .
" Because of the issues going on right now . " Andy Jr. said .
" Son , let me give you some advice . " Andy said .
" What advice ? " Andy Jr. asked his dad curiously .
" With this family , the Extended Family , there will always be issues that will come up and you waiting around to tell somebody you like how you feel isn ' t the best way to do things . Your Uncle Chase waited around to tell Traci and nearly lost his chance to be with her and realized the time he lost a long the way that they could have been together . And if I had waited around to tell your mother how I felt about her then you and your sister wouldn ' t be here . So , while I am not the one to tell you what to say to Angela , I am someone who would tell you to not wait around for the right time , because it may never come around and someone else may be there to ask her instead . " Andy advised his son .
" So , I shouldn ' t wait , " Andy Jr. said .
" No , you shouldn ' t , so , where is her dad at ? " Andy asked curiously .
" Overseas , he ' s in the Navy . " Andy Jr. said .
" Yeah , that ' s difficult , " Andy said .
" I understand having a parent away sometimes , but I don ' t know how Angela and her mom handles having her dad in a dangerous place and we ' ve been in danger before . " Andy Jr. said .
" We all have to make sacrifices sometimes even with family and being away in the military is a sacrifice one has to deal with to make sure their family and friends are safe and free , Fangs . " Andy said .
" Yes sir , " Andy Jr. said as his dad ' s phone rang .
" Hello , Chase , WHAT ?! Yeah , I ' m on my way there now , Debra and Talia are at the Impact Zone with Jessie , Maria , and Traci , I think Katie was staying at the Harris House to spend time with Rosie , alright bye . " Andy hung up the phone .
" Uncle Chase and Grace know something about KHAOS ? " Andy Jr. guessed .
" Yeah and it ' s the biggest news and enemy we ' ve had so far , we are going to the Wildcat ' s place and Uncle Chase is calling the girls to meet us there . " Andy said .
" Okay , " Andy Jr. said ready to back up the adults of the Extended Family .
" I see you are ready to go , " Andy said .
" Naturally , " Andy Jr. said .
" Good boy , " Andy proud of his son .
Harris House
Chase and Grace walked into the Harris House not to long after getting off of the phone with Andy seeing AMW , Shane Douglas , Cassidy Riley and Team Canada there AJ , Bad Influence , Bentley , the Motorcity Machine Guns , and Devine were off in the corner going through the information that was sent to them as Daniels looked at Grace as she walked into the house .
" So , this is startling news . " Chris said as Chase glanced at Katie playing with Rosie and Leia in the Wildcat ' s floor .
" Yeah , we both nearly passed out when we heard . " Grace said .
" Andy was on the way and I also called Traci to let the girls know to come here . " Chase said .
" And James took the liberty in calling Jarrett and Sting . " Chris said .
" They are on the way , too . " James said turning up the bottle of beer he was holding drinking from it .
" Slow down with the beer , Uncle James . " Grace said .
" Sorry darlin , but with the new information I need to be all here . " James pointing to his head as Daniels got up and came over to Grace .
Grace looked at Daniels and then Chase and Chris wondering what was going on and then back at Daniels .
" Yes ? " Grace asked .
" I ' m sorry for accusing you of being behind the attacks on the family and for betraying the Extended Family to go with KHAOS , you wouldn ' t side with Nash and what he has done to Jarrett , Sting , and the family . " Daniels said as Andy and Andy Jr. walked in .
" Don ' t worry about it CD , I just want this family working together again not hating each other as that ' s not what family does especially the Extended Family . " Grace said as they hugged .
" That ' s a relief . " Andy said .
" Yeah , " Cassidy and Frankie both said .
" But , don ' t think you can get out of the match for SAW in Nashville , Fallen Angel . " Grace said .
" Never , American Kid , " Daniels said .
Once everyone had finally made it to the Harris home that was apart of the family , Chase and Grace reveal what they found out and who was leading KHAOS against the Extended Family .
" The leader is Kevin Nash . " Chase said making Jarrett and Sting look at Chase as the ones who had not heard the news gasped and looked at the others in shock .
" This family all reacts to the news in the same way . " Grace said .
" Yeah , but this news is probably the biggest to date . " Cassidy said .
" Booker T delivered to us the news years ago at the beginning of the Aces & Eights Crisis that Nash could become a problem and not to include him in the effort to stop the gang from taking over TNA . " Jessie said .
" Yeah , Aces & Eights even made it unanimous to not include Nash into the club as he was too much of a liability issue , we could have all been done in before the invasion started . " A1 thinking back .
" So , if Nash is enough to have Booker T so worried that he was excluded from the effort to stop Aces & Eights , if he was enough to have Aces & Eights who weren ' t pushovers or easy to beat scared enough to not include him in the club , and from what I saw in Cledus which was a bit of fear when Domino was mentioned and he began to talk about Nash then how big of trouble are we in this time ? " Grace asked .
" Nash is a major player in professional wrestling itself and to be on the wrong side of him is not somewhere we want to be . " Jarrett said .
" But , after all he has done to the family , we are not going to sit by and watch him and his KHAOS continue on whatever they are planning for this family . " Chase said .
" I agree with Chase , " Storm said .
" You guys are sure you want to take on Nash ? " Sting asked .
" Hey , they fired the first shots , we ' re just going to finish it for them . " Daniels said .
" Finish them off like all of the other idiots that we ' ve been against . " Eric said .
" Here , here , " Devine and Bentley agreed .
" Jeff , Sting , you really didn ' t think that this group would back down from protecting the family now did you ? " Chris asked .
" No , but all of you must be careful . " Sting said .
" Be careful with this family , I ' ll believe that when I see it . " Rosie said .
" It ' s the effort that counts , Rosie , " Jarrett said .
" And some of you are more daring than others when it comes to protecting the family . " Shane said looking at Grace .
" No sacrifice or risk is to great when it comes to taking care of ones family and I would take any risk I ' ve taken in the past and do it all again in a heart beat . And I will be prepared for any risk I may take in future for this family as well , so , how exactly do we deal with Nash and KHAOS ? " Grace asked .
" By working as a team and figuring out his plans to stop the problem . " Shane said .
" We can definitely work as a team . " AJ said .
" Team Canada is ready to roll . " Petey said as the rest of Team Canada cheered .
" Huh ? " Andy Jr. whispered to Dakota .
" They evented a new cheer without me apparently . " Dakota answered .
" That ' s okay , the Dynamic Duo has our own motto , bro . " Andy Jr. said .
" Ready and willing , " Dakota said .
" Ready and willing indeed partner . " Andy Jr. said as the Dynamic Duo high-fived each other .
After the meeting , the family relaxed together Talia and Leia now sitting on both sides of Chase who was looking at one and then the other wondering what was going on .
" Alright , what are you two about to get into little ones ? " Chase asked the two .
" We ' re not getting into anything , Uncle Chase , " Talia said as Leia started playing with Chase ' s hair .
" Looks like they are messing with , Chase , " Grace said .
" That ' s fun , " CJ and RJ said .
" What is ? " Chase asked .
" Messing with Uncle Chase , " Andy Jr. said .
" Hey , " Chase looked at the kids .
Katie started giggling at them ganging up on her dad .
" Giggles , " Chase said looking at his daughter .
" Grace , " Talia whispered to Grace .
" Yes , sweet girl ? " Grace asked .
" Help us , put Uncle Chase ' s hair up with pigtails , please ? " Leia whispered in her other ear .
" Sorry , I don ' t have a way to hold him down , but if you can find a way I will help you , girls . " Grace chuckled .
Talia and Leia looked at Chase with devious smiles making him get up slowly and sneak to the basement as the girls winked at Grace who told them to wait as she went downstairs spotting Chase trying to hide .
" He ' ll be surprised , " Grace thought to herself sneaking up behind Chase .
" They don ' t know I ' m here , " Chase whispered .
" They don ' t ? " Grace asked making Chase jump and look at her .
" Grace , " Chase said going to run before Grace jumped onto his back pulling him down to the couch .
" You are not getting away . " Grace said using a pair of her dad ' s handcuffs to secure him down .
" Hey , that ' s not fair , " Chase said .
" To bad , Talia , Leia , " Grace called to the girls who came down smiling deviously at Chase who looked at Grace .
" What are they going to do to me ? " Chase asked .
" Make over , " Talia and Leia squealed .
" Uh oh , " Chase said as the little girls came closer to him , Grace watching as they gave the Natural a makeover and when they were done he had long pigtails .
" Hehe , Uncle Chase looks pretty . " Talia cheered with Leia as Grace laughed .
" What are you girls doing to . . . Chase ? " Andy asked as he and Cassidy both came down the stairs seeing Chase as their jaws dropped .
" We gave him a makeover , " Leia said .
Andy and Cassidy laughed as Chase looked at them as Traci came down seeing her husband in pigtails .
" You look cute dear . " Traci said .
" Yeah , " Chase said .
" We love you Uncle Chase , " Talia hugging her uncle making Chase smile .
" Yeah , we love Chase . " Leia also hugging him .
" Awe , " Chase smiled making Traci look at him and then walked back up the stairs .
" Alright , let ' s go upstairs girls . " Andy said looking at Traci leaving confused as Chase looked at the door also confused .
They all went back upstairs after Chase ' s hair was back to normal , once they were upstairs Chase saw Traci deep in thought wondering what was going on with her .
" What ' s on your mind ? " Chase asked her .
" I ' ll tell you when we get home baby , " Traci putting her head on his shoulder .
" Okay , " Chase a little concerned , but agreeing to wait .
Chase and Traci ' s House
Later on at their house in their room getting ready to go to bed , Chase and Traci finally got the opportunity to talk .
" So , do you want to tell me what is on your mind , honey ? " Chase asked .
Traci took a deep breath and then told Chase about the difficulty she was having with becoming pregnant .
" What kind of difficulty ? " Chase asked concerned .
" I honestly don ' t know , but I am worried about it . " Traci said .
" Is there anything we can do ? " Chase asked .
" I don ' t know that either , but I do have a doctor ' s appointment with Laura to see if she may can tell me what ' s happening . " Traci looking at Chase with tears in her eyes .
" Baby , it may not be anything wrong , it may just be us doing something wrong or the timing may be off . " Chase hugging her .
" But , what if we can ' t have a kid , Chase ? " Traci asked .
" Then we continue to take care of Katie , " Chase said trying to reassure her .
" Okay , " Traci putting her head against his chest as Chase let her get her emotions out before both of them went to bed Chase holding her close to him as she cried herself to sleep .
Chase looked over at the candle in their room that was at their wedding the one which was in memory of Candido , his and Andy ' s greatest mentor and manager silently praying for guidance and a miracle .
" Chris , please watch over us right now as we deal with this difficulty together . " Chase hoping he would listen and help them in someway .
After that Chase went to sleep himself still holding Traci hoping for better news in the coming days .
