Chapter 27
"You are very lucky the worst injury was that broken arm and a cracked rib," the doctor says to Traci. Jake sits by her bed holding her hand. "Thank doctor," Traci says as he leaves. "What arrogant prick," Jake says angrily. "Jake…" Traci says as little shocked at this out burst. "I'm sorry I'm just really pissed off," Jake says. "I wish I could remember more but once I got hit from behind I went black," Traci says. "Yeah well I know who did this," Jake says.
"Jake it very well could have been someone like Kong or Angelina Love that attacked me because they didn't like something I did," Traci says. "Yeah well you have you suspects I have mine," Jake says.
A few days later Jake was filming a segment that would air during the next impact since he wouldn't be there. Jake was in a dark room. "I remember that day. It was one of those days. The day that change who and what you will become. It was day of Wrestlemania IV but I didn't watch crappy WWF action oh no not when there the first Clash of the Champions on TBS. That was day Sting you became a star but that was the day I made it my goal to be a wrestler. A goal not a dream but a goal," Jake says.
Jake pauses for a moment. "And I worked for that goal. And achieved and surpassed that goal. And a big part of the reason why is my wife and I will get to that in a second but another big part of that was you Sting. Because I knew you worked hard and you made it. But I guess things change because the Sting from that day would never be apart of attack like that. I guess respect is so important to you now Sting that honor and dignity mean nothing," Jake says.
JB stood by with Sting as they had just watched the footage of Jake. "Sting he may have a point. I don't want to accuse you but…" "But what? Look JB I had nothing to do with any attack. If you remember I was out at ringside as Jake Reed mocked me. But I guess a guy like Reed is the kind of guy that when he gets an idea he must stick to it," Sting says. Before Sting can leave AJ gets in his face.
"You know Sting I've done some checking around. And you may have been backstage enough of you guys were and they were spotted around Traci office," AJ says. "And AJ I'm sure if you did enough checking you would find other people that were around," Sting says. "Hey fair warning I've seen Jake like this. And he will blow up and you will feel it," AJ says.
Meanwhile Kevin, Kurt, and Booker were in Booker's locker room. Kevin is pissed off. "Alright one of you two idiots had to do it," Kevin says. "Do what?" Kurt asks. "Attack Reed's wife," Kevin yells. "Hey why don't you go accuse that big ignoramus Abyss," Booker says. "Because I know he didn't do it because Sting didn't order him to. And I know I didn't do it. 3D's in Japan so it had to be one of you," Kevin says.
"Fine it was me," Kurt says picking up the newspaper. Nash takes the paper from him. "Are you nuts?" Kevin asks angrily. "Well I couldn't get to Reed so I made a switch and beat up the bitch," Kurt says laughing. "You know what is going to happen now? Reed will not give up now," Nash says. "Kevin calm down," Kurt says. "Kevin we will be fine," Kurt says. "No Kurt we won't be fine. Look I get Reed wasn't with the company when you showed up but the guy will get pay back," Nash says.
Curry Man walks up to AJ. "What did you find out?" AJ asks. "It's Kurt," Curry says. "Thank Curry," AJ says as he pulls out his phone and takes a very deep breath.
Jake answered his phone. "Yeah," Jake says. "It was Kurt," AJ says. Jake just closes the phone in a sudden burst of rage Jake punches the wall. Traci who was coming into the room sees this. "Jake oh my god," Traci says. "I'm fine," Jake says. "Your not fine. You don't punch walls when your fine," Traci says. "Fine I'm pissed. Because Kurt Angle broke you arm. As long as I'm around your going to get hurt. It doesn't matter if I win or lose I'm done after this," Jake says.
"Yeah right," Traci says. "I'm not kidding Traci," Jake says. "Your saying this now but you don't mean it. Even before Jarrett came to work with you were training for a comeback. Jake do you remember when Punk came after you," Traci says. "Yeah I remember," Jake says. "Well that was my fault," Traci says. "No it wasn't. Besides I'll take being attacked to be with you," Jake says. "I feel the same way Jake. And no attack by some freak like Angle to drive me off," Traci says. Jake and she kiss. "Alright maybe I'll delay this retirement thing for like twenty years," Jake says.
