Chapter 26 : Russian Roulette
Hide Away
" You ' re feeling better , " Grace said walking into the room Ron was using to get his leg back in shape .
" Do you need something ? " Ron asked .
" Yes , I need information on KHAOS . " Grace said making Ron look at her wondering .
" One question first , " Ron said .
" What is is ? " Grace asked curiously .
" Are you gonna hurt Ryan ? " Ron asked .
" It all depends on what happens when we find KHAOS . Why ? " Grace asked .
" He ' s my partner and I ' m pretty sure he had nothing to do with them attacking me . " Ron said making Grace realize that he wasn ' t much different from those within the Extended Family when it came to defending partners .
" I will try to save him , but I can ' t guarantee the Extended Family will stay their hand especially after what you two did to my dad and Andy . " Grace said .
" I will tell you what I know about KHAOS . " Ron said .
" In here with the rest of my team . " Grace said as they walked into one of the bigger rooms of the Hide Away that was being used to plan against KHAOS.
" Your team doesn ' t like me much , " Ron noticed the looks he was getting from Lance , Steve , and Phantom .
" It has nothing to do with like , more on the lines of we don ' t really trust you . " Steve said .
" You did attack my brothers , " Lance said .
" Easy guys , " Grace said .
" You are going to tell us what you know about KHAOS ? " Phantom asked .
" Yes , everything , " Ron said .
" Then let ' s get started . " Grace said .
Chris and Jessie ' s Room
" Have you spoken with her ? " Jessie asked later that night while laying in bed next to Chris .
" Grace or Maria ? " Chris asked .
" Both , I guess , but I was asking more so on Maria ? " Jessie asked .
" I called after Frankie and the kids left , I got a lot of bullshit from her about taking sides and to not call back if I wasn ' t going to see it her way . " Chris said .
" What ' s her problem ? " Jessie asked .
" I have no idea , " Chris said .
" I would never leave you and the kids behind , Chris , " Jessie said hugging the Wildcat like she wasn ' t going anywhere .
" Good , because I would go crazy without you here to calm the animal in me . " Chris kissing Jessie .
" It ' s a hard beast to tame , but I know exactly what to do , " Jessie said satisfied making Chris laugh .
" Yes , you do , my beautiful Snow Leopard , " Chris said .
" So , have you heard anything from Grace ? " Jessie asked changing the subject .
" I haven ' t , but A1 said she was underground at the moment with the rest of her team trying to figure out where KHAOS is located and how to deal with them properly . " Chris said .
" You don ' t seem very worried like you have been in the past . " Jessie noticed .
" Because , I know Grace will do the right thing and in the hands of Lance Hoyt , she is safe with someone I can trust . " Chris said .
" Wise old Wildcat is getting wiser everyday . " Jessie said .
" Sarcastic as hell tonight are we , " Chris said .
" We are , " Jessie agreed .
" Come here , baby , " Chris said pulling her closer as the Wildcat kissed her and flipped both of them open .
" Meow , big man , " Jessie said .
Hide Away
" So , they just randomly chose who they were going to attack ? " Grace asked .
" Yes , except for Andy , that was planned completely by Nash and Domino , " Ron said .
" Even the attack on my dad was random ? " Grace asked .
" And you , " Ron added .
" Chase , EY , Daniels , Devine , Bentley , all of them were random attacks , but they seemed planned out ? " Lance asked .
" With who Nash planned on attacking was completely random by playing a game of Russian Roulette with the names of each of the Extended Family , he threw the names into a machine designed to randomly pick one of the names , would set how many he wanted to attack , and then let the machine do the chosing . Once the names popped up we planned the attack out itself , what we were going to use , where the location was going to be , how it was suppose to go down , and who was suppose to set up the attacks themselves . All attacks weren ' t designed to kill , but to maim , so , that way we could watch you come back from the damage until Jarrett and Sting decided to come to the rescue so Nash could do to them what he did to Triple H during the Aces & Eights Crisis . " Ron explained .
" How long has Nash been planning this ? " Grace asked .
" Since before the Aces & Eights Crisis , he wanted to see how weakened TNA and the Extended Family could become before attacking you guys , but Trifecta and Biohazard got in our way before we could come to power sooner . Nash didn ' t want to make the same mistake as the groups in the past that have gone against the Extended Family and find themselves like Aces & Eights , Trifecta , and Biohazard . Aces & Eights made a mistake of going after everyone in TNA while primarily focusing on those that had been apart of Fortune and those connected to Fortune and TNA as a whole , Trifecta focused primarily on going after AMW and those connected with your dad and Storm , and Biohazard focused on you and those responsible for freeing you from Sanders and Cledus . KHAOS had one focus and only one , take out the Extended Family and let Nash deal with his own issues with Jarrett and Sting . " Ron said .
" So , how did Cledus know Domino ? " Grace asked curiously .
" They were the first , " Ron said .
" The first ? " Phantom asked .
" To be kidnapped by Sanders and abused in the way Grace and Katie were , Domino , Cledus , Gayda , and I think there was one other boy with them , but Domino never mentioned him by name were the first to be taken hostage by Sanders . " Ron said making Grace look at him .
" Why not mention the last boy ? " Grace asked .
" I think he was there first and the one to receive the worst of the abuse Sanders could give , he was sold to someone out of the country once Sanders no longer had use for him , but Domino said the boy ended it during transport . " Ron said making Grace look down in sympathy .
" There ' s nothing you could have done , Grace , " Phantom said .
" I know , but doesn ' t make me feel any less bad about it . " Grace said .
" Domino , was never actually touched , but he was beaten badly , so , badly that the very mask he wears hides his identity and the hurt he felt back then . If anything he is the exact opposite of you , Grace , where you chose to help people get out of the situation you were in and to overcome what happened to you , Domino chose to embrace the hatred and pain which has made him into the monster behind the mask and trust me when I say you haven ' t seen the worst of his violent side . " Ron explained .
" What about Gayda ? " Grace asked .
" She became a paranoid , delusional bitch , who wants what she wants and will do anything to get it to the point where she will hurt anyone in anyway possible to get exactly what she wants . " Ron said .
" Explains why she took you away from your dad and the abuse to your dad during the Trifecta situation eight years ago . " Lance said .
" Yeah , " Grace said .
" Cledus was abused to the point where he became needy and chose to stay with Sanders due to John being all Cledus knew , the kid was very young when he was taken , probably younger than Katie and definitely younger than you were . " Ron said .
" Cledus is dying in prison from some disease , he wouldn ' t say what though , just that he wouldn ' t let Chase or me get to close when we went to see him at the start of this whole KHAOS mess . He sent me the rest of the stuff on Sanders operation not to long ago which the Motorcity Machine Guns and Devine were checking on for me while I was in Mexico with Andy , they may have something or it maybe in the box of information they already sent me before we came out here . " Grace said looking at Lance .
" Do you know where KHAOS is hiding out ? " Lance asked testing Ron ' s loyalty to them .
" I know the front entrance that everyone apart of KHAOS uses , but if you don ' t have the code to get in , you will run into the traps Nash and Domino set up to keep out trespassers . As far as the second entrance that Nash and Domino uses , I think it comes in from the ocean side , but I don ' t know where the entrance is locate . " Ron said .
" I take it since you are no longer apart of KHAOS that your code has been terminated ? " Steve asked .
" Probably , " Ron answered .
" I think we may know someone who could check into those traps , but we need to get eyes on that second entrance , it could be possible for us to go in and deal with KHAOS on their own turf instead of using the Impact Zone or Asylum this time as Nash knows both places very well . " Grace said .
" Motorcity Machine Guns and Devine to check on traps ? " Lance asked .
" Yeah , and then we need some stealthy eyes to look into that ocean route into the place , " Grace said .
" I think Aries ' crew could deal with that . " Lance said .
" That ' s a great idea . " Grace said .
" Then we are moving out , " Steve said .
" Yes , Steve , Phantom , I need you to go give the updates to the Extended Family , so , the Guns and Devine can get started on those traps . I will take Lance , Davey, and Ron with me to go see Aries about lending us a hand with finding the back entrance into KHAOS Headquarters , but let the family know to wait on attacking KHAOS until we can fully deal with the issues at hand . " Grace said .
" Alright , then we have a direction to go in now . " Lance said .
" Yes , let ' s move out , " Grace said .
" If you double cross us out there , I will mangle you . " Lance promised Ron .
" I here you , " Ron said .
With that Grace ' s team moved out Steve and Phantom headed out to see the Guns and Devine while the others went with Grace to seek out the help of Aries and his brothers that had helped them in the past .
" Would these guy try to hurt Ryan like they did me ? " Ron asked .
" If they felt like he was against them or pulling away from KHAOS then I would put it past Nash or Domino to do so , Ron . " Grace said .
Ron looked at her and then realized that the only way he could help his partner was by sticking with Grace .
KHAOS H.Q.
" Still no word on Grace ' s team ? " Nash asked Domino as he walked into the main area of the headquarters .
" Nothing sir , they must be very deep underground wherever they are hiding out at , but we will widen the search and keep our team that ' s out in the field now on the issue . I ' m going out there now to make sure said team isn ' t falling down on the job , sir . " Domino said .
" Send Ryan first with a group to get the Extended Family out of our hair , before you go out there Domino . " Nash ordered .
" As you wish , Boss , " Domino said going to find Ryan Stone to give him his new instructions from Nash .
