Now you would think after a beating like that I would be allowed to rest but nope. For some reason I am told Terry Taylor needs to see ASAP. I head into his office and see Terry taking a drink from a Jack Daniels bottle now normally I would crack a joke about it not being nice to drink in front of guys like me but I've learned my lesson for today anyway. "You needed to see a dying man," I say sitting down. "Jake I really... Jake you know that change..." Terry stumbles out. "Come on Taylor out with it what ever it is I'm a big boy I can handle it," I say not knowing what would come next would change my world.
