Chapter 7
I walk up to a wood and glass door and knock on it. "Come in," Dixie calls out. "Hey boss I need your help," I say entreating her office. "Well...." Before I can finish her phone rings. "Sorry Jake I have to take this can you come back later," she asks. I nod and leave. I see Foley power walking to the door. "Sorry Mick she has a phone call," I say. "You know with who?" Mick asks. At that moment I can almost see a little angel and a little devil appear on each shoulder one and I listen to the devil. "Well Mick who do you think. Big guy loves red and yellow," I say. "Really what about? I mean man no one is telling me anything," Foley complains. "I couldn't tell she kicked me out but man I would be worried I manged to see a mock up for a PPV poster and it said A Major Debut and One Bloody Goodbye," I say fighting not to start laughing. "I don't believe this," Mick says.
"Mick maybe it's not you. I mean there are plenty of guys that could be part of a bloody goodbye I mean Kurt..., Booker oh he is already gone, I'm really going to miss you Mick," I say finally breaking up. "You think this is funny? You think my pain and worry is amusing? Well tell you what Reed to love my joke you see tonight on iMPACT! its going to be you vs. Samoa Joe," Mick says. "Mick I'm sorry bu admit it you would have done it to me," I respond. "You vs. Joe and Tomko," Mick says before he turns to leave. "I really got to learn to pick my moments," I think.

"When are you going to learn," AJ says. "I always figure it will be sometime just before I die probably as someone who I piss off beats the living hell out of me," I tell my friend. "Well I hear Traci is on the war path she might get to you first," Storm yells out. "Shut up Storm," AJ and I both yell. "Hey don't blame me my love life is fine and no women are fighting over me," Storm say pointing at the TV where Traci has attacked Flash. "Ah shit," I say turn to leave the locker room. "Dude it's a bad idea, Roode says stopping me. "Ah fuck off Bobby," I say to him as I exit the room. I start heading for the ring when I get this strange feeling like someone is watching me. I turn around but no one is there.
I turn around and keep walking when Nash rounds the corner. "Ah just the man I was looking for," he says calmly. "Oh really your looking for me shouldn't it be the other way since you were the one that tried to flatten my skull with a chair," I says. "See I thought you would misunderstand that," Nash says putting his arm on my shoulder. "Well Kev explain it me," I say. "Why do I do anything?" Nash says. "Money let me guess you dented a chair on my head so you can sell it on E-Bay," I say sarcastically. "No but that's not a bad idea," Nash says.
"You see Jake, Hulk is coming and things are changing and the World Ellite I just see more money in that." Nash starts to leave leaving me to simmer but I have enough to deal with right now and will have to get to that later. I see Traci being escorted to the back by security. "Get your hands off me," she yells acting like she is about to hit someone. I see Lauren about to interview her and stop her. Traci's so pissed off right now anything she says will wind up getting bleeped to much to use. Traci storms off and I follow her.
Outside I watch Traci kick a trash can. For some strange reason I go over and pick it up at that point she finally notices me. "I don't want to talk Jake," she says. "Fine by me I am just making sure we keep getting to film here. You know the park has told TNA we have to clean up any mess we make outside the Zone," I say. "Just go away Jake," she says. "No! Last time I checked I have as much right to stand here as anyone you want privacy go back to the house," I say. "I don't want to talk to you I don't want to deal..." "Oh I know that Traci! You have fucking made that clear lately! Trust me when you asked me to move out made that pretty damn clear!" I yell. Come to think of it that the first time I have ever yelled at her since we met and it felt pretty good.
She goes to say something but what I have been holding in is coming out so interrupt. "You know I don't even know what I did wrong this time! So you want me to leave you alone just tell me Traci what I did wrong!" Ok that felt great until I see the look on her face before she runs off. "Traci wait," I yell as I give chase only to find Foley first. "Match time Jake," He says pointing at the tunnel as my music starts to play.
