Chapter 6
Traci woke up in a hospital room with Jake sitting next to her bed in a chair. "The Baby?" She yells. "The baby is fine. The doctors said everything that happened just got to you and you fainted," Jake says trying to calm her down. "Oh thank God," Traci says. "I've been saying that all night," Jake says. Traci looks and sees that Jake's face is still bruised up.
"Jake what happened to you?" Traci asks. Jake takes a deep breath. "Well it all started after I was done with that lecture at that school. When I was heading to my car I got jumped," Jake says.
Flashback
Mrs. Lopez led Jake to an exit. "Here you are," she said as she opened a door to let Jake out. "Hey this doesn't look like the door I where I came in. In fact this is a side door," Jake says. "Well I didn't want to have to deal with autograph seekers," she says. "Oh thanks," Jake says as he walks out the door. "No problem," she says.
The second Jake walks out he realizes is way back behind the school. "Oh great I know I parked out-front in the visitor lot," Jake says. "What the matter Gringo you to good to walk," someone says off to the side. Jake turns and sees Konnan, Hernandez, Homicide, and Senshi standing there.
Jake tries to head back in and finds the door is locked. "Ah white boy's got a yellow strip on his back," Homicide says. Jake starts scanning looking for some type of weapon. "Dam there is nothing I can use," Jake thinks. Jake knows he can't fight all four off and has to run. He turns and high tails it as fast as he can. As he runs near a corner he gets tackled by two men. Pretty soon LAX catches up and start to beat on Jake.
End of flashback
"After a while they figured they had done enough damage they left. Guess they figured Senshi couldn't win the belt if I was in a hospital bed. A truck driver that was dropping off food for the cafeteria found me and helped me," Jake says. "I don't care what you say we are going to press charges," Traci says. "Yeah well guess what the cops took my statement and LAX everyone has someone to alibi them," Jake says.
"I thought schools in America have cameras now," Traci says. "Turns out the school doesn't have the funds to put them all over. So that is a blind spot," Jake says. "Oh lord," Traci says. "Yeah it seems a little to convenient that I got lead to that one spot and LAX knew to be there," Jake says. "Well a lot of people in TNA knew that you would be speaking at that school. It's possible that LAX knows that Mrs. Lopez," Traci says. "Well that is what I am thinking. But right now I'm going to get a doctor and see if I can get you out of here," Jake says.
Homicide and Senshi were sparing to get Senshi ready for Jake. Homicide went for a lariat that Senshi stopped with a kick right to the head. Konnan walked in the gym. Homicide gave the signal to stop. "What's up K-dawg?" Senshi asks. "Well I just checked out a home boy that worked as at the hospital and it turns out Traci collapsed last night after we gave beat the black and blue light special," Konnan says.
"So in other words Reed spent last night worrying about his woman instead of trying to find us," Homicide says. "Looks like our plan went better than we hoped for," Senshi says. "Yeah Jake Reed won't have the belt to much longer," Konnan says.
Dixie Carter, Jim Cornet, and Terry Taylor were in a meeting. "So Traci is fine. Jake is going to brushed up but other wise fine," Jim says. "LAX is really taking this to a new level," Dixie says. "Well we better get the agents ready because we know how Jake can get," Terry says. "Yeah well I wouldn't be surprised if showed up and busted that little "border" they have set up by the Spanish announce table," Jim says.
"Truth be told I think I may just let Jake get a few shots in on LAX. Maybe he can take out Homicide, Hernandez and Konnan before Senshi's title match," Dixie says. Jim looks like he wants to say something. "What is it Jim?" Terry asks. "Well when I talked Jake he said that it was two guys that prevented him from getting away," Jim says. "So?" Terry asks. "Well Terry LAX counting Senshi has only four members," Jim says. "What about Moddy Jack," Terry says. "Ok five but then who was the other guy that helped them. Besides I don't think that Jack has the guts to fight a guy like Jake," Jim says.
"What you're saying is that there maybe more members of LAX on the way," Dixie says. "Yeah I am. I know that Homicide and Konnan have a lot of thug friends that could show up when ever or where ever," Jim says. "Meanwhile we still have Heyman ranting and raving about his new client," Terry says. "Yeah and trust me knowing Paul E. it could be anyone," Jim says.
Jake and Traci walked into there house. After a quick examination the doctor had said Traci and the baby were fine but Traci had been warned to avoid stress. "I'm going to take a shower," Traci says. "Alright, I think I'm going to work out. You know I didn't get a chance yesterday," Jake says.
As soon as Traci was up stairs Jake pulled out his cell phone. He didn't want Traci to know he was making contract with this person just yet. He dialed a number he hadn't called in a while. "Hello Jake," the voice on the other end said. "We need to talk," Jake said. "And what makes you think your worth my time," the voice said. "I'm going to make it worth your time," Jake says.
The voice was silent. Jake knew it love tormenting him. "Just how can you do that?" The voice asked. "Homicide and Low Ki," Jake said. "I settled my issues with them long ago." "Oh come on you have too much pride to let that one go. I'm giving a chance to get another shot at them," Jake says. "Alright I'll be in the area tomorrow we can talk then," The voice said before hanging up. Jake closed his phone and put in down.
"Who was that?" Jake turned around and saw Traci looking at him from the stairs. Jake knew he was caught. "Someone that has reason to hate Homicide and Senshi or what ever the guy calls himself these names," Jake says. "This person have a name?" Traci asks. Jake walked up to her and whispered the name in her ear. "Him, Jake are you sure?" Traci asked. "Look all I know is I am going to need all the help I can get right now," Jake says. "Alright I guess your right," Traci says.
"Look Traci for everything guys like Jarrett and Cage did to me. They never went as far as LAX did. Plus your pregnant and the sooner I get past this the better," Jake says. "Jake I'm fine. Don't let LAX get to you," Traci says. "Well Traci normally I would be planning to show up with a tire iron and start swinging," Jake says. "You know that is right you're actually showing a lot of self control," Traci says. "Yeah I mean I still have the tire iron ready. I just have a plan for once," Jake says.
