Chapter 7
Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin had there ears pressed to the door of Jim Cornet's office. "Hey guys what is going on?" Eric Young asks walking up to them. "Were listening to Cornet raking Morgan over the coals," Alex says. "Dude I don't even George Carlin would use those words," Chris Sabin. "Let me hear," Eric says pushing his ear to the door just as it opens and there three men fall onto the ground.
"Look Jim I swear I thought Homicide was on the up and up," Matt says. "Well that was your first mistake you thought. I had everything set all you had to do was follow my plan. But no you had to try and take charge and will you three get up. All of you get out of here!" Jim yells.
The four guys run off as Jake walks up. "Man Jim I haven't seen you this made since…" "Jake now is not the time for you a joke," Jim says. "Hey Jim I don't have time for jokes. I have to defend my belt against Angle, Tomko, Christian and Joe. Plus I got to worry about all the other ROH guys," Jake says.
"Jake look I am thinking of a way to make sure that latter won't be a worry," Jim says. "Jim I understand but I have an idea…" "It better not involve the words Hero Hire Chris in any order," Jim says. Before Jake can say anything Jim's phone rings. "I have to take this the big boss is calling," Jim says closing the door.
Jake walks to the locker room when Vince Russo walks up to him. "Hey Jake this came for you," Jim says handing a manila envelope. "Thanks," Jake says. Vince rushes off while Jake opens the envelop and pulls out a gold chain and a note.
Flashback
"Man I can't believe Ian cancelled another show," Jimmy Jacobs yells throwing the IWA Mid South belt into the back seat. "Jimmy calm down. You know Ian is trying as hard as can," Jake says starting the car. "Dude I gave up…" "I know what you gave up. But Jim some things are more important than wrestling," Jake says turning on Cheap Trick's "The Flame."
"You ever going to tell me about this girl?" Jimmy asks. "I've told you about her," Jake says. "I don't know how much longer I can take this," Jimmy says. "Jimmy just calm down things will pick up and I know you and BJ are doing well in ROH. That should help the paydays," Jake says. "Not the paydays this crappy music of yours. I mean I would buy ear plugs but I can't AFFORD THEM!" Jimmy yells.
Jake pulls the car over. "Jake I'm sorry I won't complain anymore," Jimmy says. Jake takes off a gold chain and hands it to Jimmy. "Here that should be worth a something at a pawn shop," Jake says. "Jake I can't take this. You wear it all the time and your brother gave it to you," Jimmy says. "Yeah but you keep it. Like I said there always more important things in life," Jake says.
Jake walks up to Traci. "So your little plan ready?" Jake asks kissing her neck. "Yes it's ready we just need to wait," Traci says. "Traci I trust you but a lot of the boys are getting sick of waiting. They feel like we have to make a big move," Traci says. "Jake you know what I have planned and you know this is a huge move," Traci says.
"Well, well, well look what we have here Cide," Joe says walking up to them. "Yeah we the chump and the slut," Homicide says. "You two are actually stupid enough to fall for it," Traci says. "Fall for it what?" Joe asks. "This," James Storms says as he breaks a bottle over Cide's head and goes for Joe. Joe runs away as Jake and Storm pick up Homicide. "Let's get him to the ring," Jake says.
Jake and Storm toss Homicide into the ring. Jake grabs a microphone. "Here lies the man that stabbed TNA in the back. Now Nelson I get that you love ROH. But you didn't have to attack TNA. ROH you wanted a war well you got the war. So don't start crying as the casualties rack up," Jake says as he rolls out of the ring and pulls out Abyss' bags and a table.
Homicide starts to get up but Storm superkicks him back down. Jake and James set up the table and empty the tacks and glass onto it. They than put Homicide onto the top rope and Jake than hits a super Death Valley Driver through the table. Jake is bleeding out of the arm. "Anyone else wants to stab TNA in the back that is what you get!" Jake yells.
Jake is backstage getting his arm bandaged. "How's his arm," Traci asks. "Its just some flesh wounds," Jake says. "It is really?" Traci asks the trainer. "Yeah it is. Alright Jake you are good to go," The trainer says. "Well if anyone was even thinking about stabbing TNA in the back you changed there mind," Traci says.
"Yeah and I made sure Homicide won't be able to help Joe," Jake says. "And we still have my plan to use," Traci says. "You know I am real glad you just came up with this fist plan to help set up for you big plan," Jake says.
