Chapter 13
Jake walked through the lobby of a Hilton Hotel. Jeff had started moving around so people wouldn't notice a pattern with either of them. Jake was frustrated as he was no closer to finding out Sting's last trump card. Jake reached the room and knocked. Jeff opened it a second later. One they were inside they started to talk. "You should have warned me about the glass table," Jeff says. "Look I didn't even know until the last second," Jake says.
"Look did you anymore on who else is working with Sting?" Jeff asks. "No they said just wait and see," Jake says. "Well you are not going to like what I think but we have to look at it," Jeff says. "Who?" Jake asks. "Cornett." "Are you nuts? No wait you would have to be," Jake says. "Jake you know Cornett has a hell of a past. And it always helps to have someone on management on your side," Jeff says. "You would know but it's not Cornett," Jake says.
"I'm not saying for sure that it is but we have to look into it," Jeff says. "Fine maybe I can get Traci…" Jake stops because he has said too much. "You told your ex-wife. Damn it Reed we both agreed we can't trust anybody. One person finds out what we are doing and the whole world will know," Jeff yells. "Look Jeff I didn't tell her directly she got my letter…" Again Jake has said too much. "What letter?"
"Ok back before this happened I wrote some letters to people I really care about baring my soul and hoping now that they knew I was a total jack ass they would be ok," Jake says. "And you sent them this early are you nuts?" Jeff yells. "Look I didn't send them. But some how Traci got hers and well we are back together," Jake says. "Look Jake I'm happy for you but there is to much on the line now we have to worry about her," Jeff says.
"I know I can trust Traci. She had been with TNA as long as anyone," Jake says. "Jake rule to live by Don't Trust Anybody," Jeff says. "You seem to trust me," Jake says. "Yeah because you the kind of guy that gets stabbed in the back not the other way around," Jeff says.
Sting was talking to the person who would assure he would win the world title. "Look Joe will never see it coming. And hell with Reed I may not even have to do anything," the person says. "I would be careful Reed. Once he settles things with AJ he may just want the belt back," Sting says. "Yeah well we will deal with that when the time comes. He wants to be ungrateful like the rest of them he will be treated like the rest of them," Nash says. "Yeah and if I need to I will show him what my bat looks like up close," Sting says.
Traci was in her apartment when someone knocked on the door. "Delivery." Traci opened the door and found Jake in a bad disguise. Jake comes in. "What are you doing? No better what are you wearing?" Traci asks as Jake takes off a pair a jump suit and fake beard that look really fake. "A disguise I am supposed to be a delivery guy," Jake says. "You look like Ronald McDonald had sex with Joey Ryan," Traci says as she starts to laugh.
"Yeah well it's better than nothing," Jake says as he pulls into a kiss. "You are making this real hard to stay away from you," Traci says. "Good I don't want you to want to stay away from me," Jake says. Someone knocks on the door. "Who is it?" Traci yells out. "It's AJ. Open up." Jake grabs his jumpsuit and hides in bathroom.
Traci opens the door. "AJ what are you doing here?" "I need to talk to you about Jake," AJ says. "What about Jake?" Traci asks. "Come on Traci we both know he is out control and now he is working with Angle, Booker, and Sting you know they will turn on him. Look can I come in I really don't want to stand in the hall," AJ says. "Ok sure," Traci says knowing if she doesn't let him in it will seem strange.
"Hey what is this?" AJ asks holding up the fake mustache. "Oh nothing just a fake mustache," Traci says. "I know but it looks the one I gave Jake a gag gift once," AJ says. "Look AJ I don't think there anything we can do about Jake until he is ready to get help," Traci says trying to change the subject.
In the bath room two thoughts occurred to Jake. One AJ has the worst timing and two he should have hid in the bedroom at least than he would have some more room. Jake's phone started to ring. "Oh Damn!" Jake thought as he pulled the battery out. "What was that?" AJ asked. "What was what?" Traci says. "I thought I heard something," AJ says getting up to check things out. "AJ you know how many other people live in this building you are going to hear things. And honestly this is the room I have cleaned up right now," Traci says blocking his path.
"You are acting really strange," AJ says. "Look AJ I get you want to help Jake but at this point I can't deal with him anymore," Traci says. "Alright," AJ says before leaving. Jake comes out of the bathroom. "That was a close one," Jake says. "Tell me about it," Traci says.
AJ was pissed off. He hadn't wanted to believe it when Super Eric told him Traci was working with Jake but the way she acted kind of confirmed it on top of fining something that belonged to Jake. "Great now I have to tell Cornett," AJ thinks to himself.
