Chapter 28 : Blue Paint
Hide Away
" Motorcity Machine Guns and Devine got the message and said they would look into everything for us . " Steve said once Grace and the group that went with her to find Aries got inside the Hide Away .
" Good , we need to put a stop to KHAOS quickly if they are going through desperate measures to find us . " Grace said looking at the ground thinking about their next move.
" Maybe we should figure out what we will do once the traps are figured out at the front entrance and the back entrance is found . " Lance said .
" Good idea , " Grace said thinking about it .
" What if we strike them in two different places ? " Phantom asked .
" As in use both entrances to trap them inside of their H.Q. " Steve said .
" We could do it if we work together with the Extended Family and the friends we have out in the world . " Grace said liking the idea .
" But , first we need to get Domino out of the way even if it is temporarily , so , his men won ' t have him to give them direction at the front entrance along with those traps guarding the entrance itself . " Ron advised them .
" I could call Domino out to face me . " Grace said .
" I thought you planning on calling him out for your next match ? " Lance asked .
" Change of plans , if I can take this joker out before then it will be even better for our efforts to take out KHAOS . " Grace said .
" Sure , but who is going into H.Q. to actually ambush KHAOS ? " Davey asked .
" Look we have the Extended Family to work with , the crew that hangs out with Aries , and I have you guys backing me , so , we can start from there , do , we know anyone else willing to help us ? " Grace asked .
" What about the rest of the Tennessee Connection or even David and Sigmon ? " Phantom asked making Grace and Steve look at the man .
" Not bad , plus dad and Jarrett may know someone else who will back us . " Grace added .
" So , " Steve said .
" Phantom can you get out of here and inform David and Sigmon of our plans without alerting KHAOS ? " Grace asked .
" Yes , I can . " Phantom said .
" Then go ahead , I need to talk to Chase . " Grace said grabbing a hoodie out of her bag and shades as Phantom headed out .
" You ' re going out there alone ? " Ron asked .
" Better alone than all of us being out there and get caught by KHAOS . " Grace said .
" So , what are we suppose to do ? " Davey asked .
" Go through the box of stuff Cledus gave me that the Guns and Devine already went through , if it ' s possible maybe there is a layout to KHAOS H.Q. that we can use to get around . Ron , may know the place well , but it doesn ' t mean we or any of our family and friends know their way around the place , so , it maybe best to have a map for the rest of us to study . " Grace said .
" Alright , " Steve said as Grace left the Hide Away .
Chase ' s House
Grace arrived at Chase and Traci ' s place undetected by KHAOS and knocked on the door hoping to not be spotted going in as the door opened and Grace saw Andy Jr. and Dakota .
" Hey guys , where ' s Chase ? " Grace asked .
" Inside finishing up the room before Traci gets home from baby shopping with Jessie and Debra . " Dakota said letting her in .
" Who is it boys ? " Chase asked from upstairs .
" Just Grace , " Andy Jr. said .
" Just Grace , jeez shorty I ' m hurt . " Grace said things hadn ' t been right between them since the night at the hospital after the attack on Andy Jr. ' s parents .
" Alright cool it you two before Traci gets home and straightens both of you out . " Chase said walking downstairs making Grace see him covered in blue paint .
" Are you painting the baby ' s room or yourself ? " Grace asked .
" Huh ? " Chase asked .
" Your blue nose , Chase , " Grace said making Chase look at himself in a mirror before looking at Andy Jr. suspiciously making the little one smile innocently .
" Seriously , Little Natural . " Chase said .
" I couldn ' t resist the temptation . " Andy Jr. said making them laugh .
" And where ' s Katie ? " Grace asked .
" Shopping with the girls , " Dakota said making Grace look at him wondering before shaking it off .
" So , what are you doing here and where is the rest of your team ? " Chase asked .
" Phantom went to give David and Sigmon a message for us and the others are looking for blueprints to KHAOS H.Q. " Grace said .
" I thought our mutual friend told you everything about their headquarters . " Chase looked at her .
" He did , but if we go in there to deal with them not everyone has this information or knows the layout of the headquarters , so , I thought it was best to see if we had anything to help . " Grace said .
" Okay then , so , what do you need ? " Chase asked .
" I need you to get in contact with the Tennessee Connection , we need the back up if the plan is to work . " Grace said .
" Okay , anything else ? " Chase asked .
" Neutral ground to talk out this plan with everyone else . " Grace said .
" Impact Zone , the Clinic , and the Training Facility is the only neutral ground we have ? " Chase said .
" Impact Zone would work if those searchers weren ' t looking for us , " Grace said .
" Then let ' s use the Training Facility , " Chase said .
" Even with who I have riding with me ? " Grace checked .
" Might as well test his loyalty now instead of when we ' re in the heat of battle , " Chase said .
" Fine , but what happens when everyone jumps on him ? " Grace asked .
" We ' ll deal with that when it happens . " Chase said .
" If you talking about Ron Horn working with you , then he deserves a beating for everything he ' s done to this family . " Andy Jr. said .
" The family already knows ? " Grace asked .
" Yes , they do , " Chase said .
" How can you work and forgive someone like that ? " Dakota asked .
" The same way as the family and Team Canada forgiving A1 years ago when he worked for Aces & Eights or when my dad forgave Dustin Rhodes for what happened during the Trifecta situation eight years ago . You think I don ' t understand or know what Ron has done , I get it , trust me with all of the shit I ' ve been through I understand . He and Ryan were responsible for running my dad off the road , I know Ron was apart of ambushing Andy and Debra , and he was there when they hurt my shoulder in Miami , so , don ' t begin to tell me what I already know . But , if I don ' t forgive Ron for what he ' s done and offer him the same redemption that was given to me years ago and that I gave Cledus for what was done to me , then I would turn into Domino and I don ' t need that , so , both of you need to cool it and trust me . And you need to let go of your anger Andy Jr. before it burns you up inside and turns you into the person you don ' t want to be . " Grace said making Chase look at the two and then at the American Kid .
" Grace , in here , alone , " Chase said looking at the Dynamic Duo .
" Sure , " Dakota said .
Grace followed Chase into the other room looking at him wondering if he was about to yell at her for siding with Ron .
" Chase , I . . . " Grace said before Chase held his hand up for her to stop .
" Why did you say if you didn ' t forgive Ron and Cledus then you would turn into Domino ? " Chase asked .
" Domino , Cledus , Jackie Gayda , and some other kid that was with them were the first kids that Sanders abused like myself and Katie . " Grace said making Chase look at her .
" How do you know this ? " Chase asked .
" Ron said that Domino told him and Ryan when they first joined KHAOS . " Grace said .
Chase looked at her for a moment .
" Cledus was abused to the point where he has the illness that ' s killing him . " Grace said .
" Grace . . . " Chase said .
" The other kid that Domino never mentioned the name of killed himself . " Grace said .
" Don ' t do this to yourself , " Chase said .
" We all know what Gayda has done . " Grace said .
Chase sighed .
" And Domino was abused like I was , but instead of finding freedom like I did from the pain inside of me , he embraced the pain and became this monster that ' s aligned himself with Nash and the rest of KHAOS . " Grace said .
" And you are not like Domino , you have family and friends that will have your back and stand beside you , Grace , so , you don ' t have to be like him . " Chase said .
" I know , but I also need this family to realize the reasons I do the things I do and to stop questioning my decisions , I know what I ' m doing . I ' m not a little kid anymore who needs a hand held through all of this , I know if I need help that I have the family to help me , but everything else I can handle . " Grace said .
" I understand , " Chase said hugging her .
" Big daddy , Natural should you be worried about your coming son ? " Grace asked .
" I ' ve got that handle , Grace , but with the rest of you kids having issues I need to be on my toes with you guys as well . " Chase said .
" Sorry that we ' re destracting the great Chase Stevens , but we are making sure you are ready to be a father to another Little Natural . " Andy Jr. said .
" My brother speaks the truth , we are helping you out . " Dakota said .
" I told you two to stay out , " Chase said .
" Whoops , " The Dynamic Duo said alone .
" Could you two pass along the message to Shane Douglas that we may need help from Raven ' s crew as far as dealing with KHAOS on the outside of their headquarters or anyone else Shane knows that would help us ? " Grace asked .
" We ' ll pass along the message . " Dakota said .
" And where is your dad ? " Grace asked Little Andy .
" Working out with AMW and Cassidy , he is trying to get back in condition since he was out with family problems and then managing you . " Andy Jr. said .
" A pumped up Andy Douglas is exactly what we need to deal with KHAOS . " Chase said .
" I agree , " Andy said walking in the door .
" Don ' t you ever knock ? " Chase asked .
" Nope , " Andy said .
" Andy is always making himself at home even if it ' s not his home . " Grace laughed .
" Baby girl get over here , " Andy said .
" Hey , Vampire Lord , " Grace hugging Andy .
" Now , why do you have paint on your nose , Chase ? " Andy asked .
" He did it , " Chase pointed at Little Andy .
" Keeping Uncle Chase on his toes before he has to experience a newborn baby . " Andy Jr. said .
" Good , he needs it . " Andy said .
" So , are you joining the Tennessee Connection now that you don ' t have to worry about me , Andy ? " Grace asked .
" Of course , " Andy said .
" Duh , " Chase said .
" Funny , but we need everyone at the meeting as soon as the traps are figured out , the second entrance is found , and everyone in the fight and any back up we may need has been alerted . " Grace said on a serious note .
" We will send word to the rest of the family . " Chase said .
" Sure and you two ? " Grace asked Andy Jr. and Dakota .
" We will let Pops know to send Raven the message and anyone else who could help us against KHAOS . " Andy Jr. said .
" Good , I need to get back to the others . " Grace said .
" Grace , take care of yourself . " Andy said .
" I will , " Grace said before leaving .
" What is she doing ? " Dakota asked .
" What she has to and it ' s nothing you guys should be questioning or doubting as Grace has never let anyone of us in the family down or any of you kids . " Chase said making the Dynamic Duo look at him before looking at each other .
