Chapter 20
"Let me go," Madison yells banging on a door. "God damn bitch you scratched me," Garrett Bischoff yelled looking over the wounds on his arm. Garrett still wasn't sure how he managed to get her back to the temporary club house but he did. It was almost pure dumb luck. He had been hiding out worried Reed was after him when Reed ran right past him. With Madison a few minutes later. "Devon and Bully are either going to kill us or promote us," Wes says. "They better give me a bigger cut of the money Magnus paid us," Garrett says. "You what about me?" Wes asks. "I got her back her alone. You were freaking out Reed was after me," Garrett says.
Madison stopped hitting the door and started to pace. "Ok no phone. No way of knowing if Jake has any idea what happened. I got to get out of here some how," Madison thought to herself. Looking around the room for anything she could use to get out and maybe fight off the Aces and Eights. But the room was empty and windowless. The only door was the one she had been banging on. Looking down at the wood floor she started to see if she could pray up a pice of it to use as a weapon or maybe to break the lock off the door. No use there was no way it would happen. "Jake you've down some awesome things before please do it again," Madison thought.

I make a beeline for the hotel most of the talent is staying at. Magnus stands outside like he is waiting for me. "Well hello Reed," Magnus says. "You Son of a Bitch I'm going to kill you!" I yell. "Calm the hell down Reed or else you will never see her again," Magnus says. That stops me. "If you…" "No Reed your not in control here. Now Madison is safe," Magnus says. I don't say anything instead I just star bullets at this guy. "Take a step back Reed," Magnus orders. I have no other option and do what he wants. "Let me make this clear Madison is safe for now," Magnus says. "Where is she?" I ask. "I'm not going to tell you that. She is safe that is all you need to know. Now tomorrow you are going to lose to me," Magnus says. "Where is Madison?" I ask. "Don't worry about that but again she is safe for now," he tells me.
"Your doing this just to win a match," I say. "No of course not. See Reed I want Madison back and admittedly I want the TNA world title and well betting you gets very close to goal two and well right now I have Madison," He says. That's to much I pin him to the wall. "Be careful Reed something happens to me the people I hired might do something to Madison. See if I can't have her that maybe no one can," He says and I let him go. "Good man see tomorrow Jake," He says turing to leave. "Some how some way some day I am gong to hurt you," I say. "This is the time you lose Reed. I have you beat! Your weak because you love her I just want her," Magnus says walking back into the hotel. I stand on the outside and as much as I hate to admit it he's right. Right now he's won and I have lost.
I head back to my rental car and get in and drive off. I don't even know where I am going I am just driving. Its been about an hour and my phone rings. "Madison," I say just out of pure hope. "No Jake it's Mom," my mother said. "Is Hope ok?" I ask. "She's fine she's on a playmate. I just wanted to check on you and Madison," My mom says. "Were fine. She's shopping and I'm just sightseeing," I lie. "Your lying to me," my mom says. "Look mom I got to go I'm driving we will talk later. I love you," I say. Great now I'm acting like I did when I was drinking.

Bully Ray jumped off his bike and stormed into the warehouse. "Why did I just get a call from Magnus telling me good job. Saying Reed has already lost it," Bully yells. "Because I got her already," Garrett says. "You what?" Bully asked stunned. "I got her already. Look Boss it happened real easy. Reed took off for some reason. And she was trying follow him I grabbed her and got her back here," Garrett says. A loud banging on the wall starts. "Stop it you dumb bitch," Wes yells. Bully pulls out his phone. "Money is in the bank," Bully says. "So what do we do now?" Garrett asks. "Watch her. I got to get ready for the title has stuff to do. Doc and Knux aren't in town yet so watch her," Bully says. "All night I have stuff to do," We says. "Yeah watching Madison and making sure Reed doesn't find her," Bully says.
"If we already got paid what does it matter?" Wes asks. "Ok I want the title right?" "Right." "If Reed if off hunting for his little girlfriend he won't be around to stop me," Bully says. "Let me out of here," Madison yells. Bully opens up the door and holds up his chain. "If you don't shut the hell up I"m going to beat you with this," Bully yells before closing the door.

Heading back to the hotel I go to my room and just think. I don't care about losing a match but I know I can't trust that British SOB. Hell Magnus has shown he's sick for all I know he's with Madison right now and I don't even want to think about what he could be doing. Suddenly someone bangs on my door. "Go Away!" I yell. "Reed open this damn door!" Kurt Angle demands from the other side. "Not now Kurt," I say. He bangs again. Alright I'll open the door and break his noise since I need punch something and the bald idiot will be perfect. "WHAT?!" I yell after throwing open the door. "Are you with the Aces and Eights?" Kurt asks. "No I'm not Kurt! Now leave me alone," I say going to shut the door but he stops it. "I just heard from Mickie James that your girlfriend was spotted with that trader Garrett Bischoff," Kurt yells as he points his finger in my face.
"Kurt I could kiss that beautiful bald head of yours," I say running out of the room. "Reed where the hell are you going?" I hear him yell but ignore it. "Why didn't I figure it out? The Aces and Eights do jobs for money and I bet Magnus would have the money to hire them." I think to myself. Now I just need to find one of them good thing is I know a few things about bikers and where to find them. Sprinting to the car I drive out to this biker bar I know is just out of town. Getting there I jump out of the car and look down and wish I had taken time into more a biker look hell I even forgot my leather jacket. Heading inside I get a few looks from a few toughs that are wondering who the hell the new guy is.
Over at the pool table I see Doc and Knux. I make my way over to them and Doc sees me coming. "What do you want Reed?" He asks. "I need to talk to your bosses," I say. "Bosses? If your talking about D-LO and Devon they aren't our bosses they are our brothers," Knux says. "Oh you talk? Doesn't matter I need to talk to them," I say as I rest my hand on the table right next to the cue ball. "Why?" Doc says. "That little moron Garrett took my girlfriend I want her back and you guys all get to keep your teeth," I say. "Hey you don't threaten us," Doc says. "You think your a tough guy Doc? You won't be the first heavy I've taken out. But I'm in rush so tell where Madison is and I'll leave you alone. Try and stop me well you won't make it to lethal lockdown," I say.
He goes to punch me and I duck while grabbing the cue ball and smashing it into his drops to the ground having been KO'ed. Knux swing his pool cue at me I grab it and drive it into his gut. I use the cue to choke him. "Where is she?" I yell. "I don't know," Knuks chokes out. I elbow him the back of the head. "Tell me where she is," I yell. Doc gets up so I let go of the choke and kick him head. Some guys tries to step to get me to stop but I drop him with a punch. I stomp on Knux's hand. "Better tell me Knux or else I start getting really evil," I say. Doc gets up and grabs me from behind and suplexs me onto the pool table breaking it. Doc starts to punch me on the broken table. "To bad for Magnus I'm going to kill you tonight boy," He yells. He starts to choke me and pull me up before slamming me into the wall. I reach into my pocket and pull out my multi tool and slash his arm he lets me go. I see Knux about to get up so I kick him in the ribs as hard as I can.
I get a bar stole as the bikers around the bar look on enjoying the fight. I get a bar stole a metal one and hit Doc over in the back until and finally goes down. Getting my knife I hold it to Knux's eye. "Last chance!" I yell. "She's downy that industrial park by the arena. We have a club house set up you can't miss it," He yells. I elbow him the back of the head and that KO's him. Doc still isn't' moving. I turn to leave. "Hey buddy someone has got to pay for this damage," Someone yells. "Your right… They should have money and they ride some nice custom bikes," I say leaving.
