Chapter 11
Traci went into a small bar and sat down. "I'll take a beer please," she says. "What the matter honey," the waitress asks. "I'm looking for someone," Traci says. "Let me guess your long lost love," she says. "Something like that. You haven't seen him have you?" Traci asks pulling out a picture of Jake. "Yeah he was in here a few days ago said something about Vegas," the waitress says. "Are you serious and you sure it was him?" Traci asks. "Trust me I remember the really depressed ones especially the depressed that don't drink," she says. "Thank you," Traci says she pays for her beer and runs out.

About an hour later AJ Styles is eating dinner talking to Ric Flair when his phone rings. "You got the TNA world champion AJ Styles!" AJ says as picks up his phone. "AJ's it's Traci I think I found Jake he's in Vegas," Traci says. "Really I thought you were in..." "I am but I got a tip but I can't get out of here until tomorrow no flights," Traci says. "Traci I will find him don't worry," AJ says. "What's going on?" Ric asks. "We are going to Vegas," AJ says.

In Ireland there may be no better hotel than the Merrion. Eric Bischoff was in one of there guest rooms waiting for the man he was meeting to finish his shower. The man's wife had gone shopping leaving her husband to his business just like she had for years that's why she was one of the few wrestlers wife Eric liked. The door to the bath room opened and Kevin Nash walked in wearing a rope and drying his hair."We get a problem," Eric says. "We got a lot of problems Hulk has lost his mind," Kevin says. "I know but we got a real problem Hulk wants to bring Reed back in," Bischoff says. "GOD DAMN IT! You can't let that happen!" Nash yells. "I don't intend to let it happen but I have enough trouble dealing with Hall and Waltman," Eric yells right back.
"I'm working on it you just take care of Reed," Nash says. "Reed shouldn't be a problem the guy has gone missing. I bet he is currently face down the gutter some where," Eric says. "Yeah Reed has a bad habit of showing up to play savor," Nash says. "Yeah well plenty of people have called me the devil for a reason," Eric says.

I walked into a old house. The blond next me looked like the weight of the world had just been taken off her shoulders. "We can trust Caleb. I have known for years," she says. I pull the gun out my jeans belt. "Will you put that away?" She harshly whispers to me. "You don't learn do you? Odds are they on there way here?" I say sweeping the area. "You are crazy there is no way..." She stops talking and starts to hyperventilate. "What the hell is it now?" I turn around and see a guy dead on the ground. She is about to freak out I jump tackle her and pull her down covering her mouth. "Be quite. The might be here still I am going to let you up and when I do run like hell for the door. Got it?" I say in a whisper. She nods yes.
"I wouldn't do that Jake!" A guy holding a rifle says as the lights turn on and few more come out of the office. "Hello Carter how's Amy oh wait she left when she found out what a sick bastard you are," I say. "She's better than your son," he mocks. "I jump and charge the guy a large guy smacks me with the but of his gun knocking me down. "I really hate you!" I cough out. "Kill her!" Scott says pointing at the blond.
"Cut that's a wrap for today people!" Art the director of this straight to DVD movie yells out. Ok long story short my agent Derek found this movie but an reporter that winds up on the run with an ex spy for Mr. Anderson of all people but he dropped out for what later turned out to be his TNA deal so I wound up getting the lead it helped Art is a huge wrestling fan and marked for having any wrestler on the project. I get up and head to the small bath room in Art's brothers house I am using as a dressing room. Ok maybe it's not the next Batman Movie but trust me it's going to be better than Ready to Rumble or No Holds Barred.
If nothing else this is keeping me busy and it's kind of fun just the pay is kind of crappy. I get in the car I borrowed from Steve Corino when I lent him my boat and drive to the motel just outside of Vegas. I stop at a Wendy's and get a burger and fries with a soda. In my room I turn on the TV and watch a little Sportscenter the Super Bowl is coming up and that is the top story. I start to channel surf and find out Vegas is one of the few markets that carries TNA Xplsioln.
"I don't care," I say to myself as I change the channel and find The Simpsons. "Ah the Max Power one I love this one," I insist. But I change the channel back. What the hell is with the ring? I know I haven't watched since I was fired but this can't be right. Wait did Tenay say The Nasty Boys? What the hell is going on? Orlando Jordan beat the Pope and AJ is with who? This is getting insane. This is why I got fired?! For these guys and dork named Bubba.
