Chapter 15
"Just drive Reed," Kurt tells me. "Or what its not like you have a gun Kurt," I say. "Drive," he says. I start my car and drive off. "Ok where to Kurt or do you want me to take you on a tour of the city," I say to him as we leave the park. "You need to get control Reed," Kurt says as we pass a stop light. "I am in control did you not notice the belt I was wearing today," I fire right back at him. "How many times did you snap at someone or lose your temper?" Kurt says. "What's your point?" "My point is you need to lighten up. Hitting Hogan was stupid and now you have made it even tougher on yourself. Now Hogan wants you gone," Kurt says.
"Has the recent cold snap and the lack of hair casused you brain to freeze Hogan always wanted me gone that why he went to Dixie to get me fired!" I snap at him. "No Hogan didn't' it was Bischoff. He want to Dixie claiming Hogan wanted you gone using you leg problems and you history with drugs and alchool as the reasons," Kurt says. "Well hold on if it was Bischoff why did you keep warning about Hulk?" I ask as some lady who I nearly cut off honks. "Pull over you might kill someone," Kurt says to me. I pull into a empty parking lot and we get out of the car. "Ok so why did you tell me Hogan was out ot get me text after text about Hogan," I yell. "Because I still think Hogan had a role in it. Hogan is play good cop right now," Kurt says. "And Bischoff is the bad cop," I finish.
"But hitting Hogan was still stupid before he had no good reason to go after you publicly now he does," Kurt says. "Hey I could care less about Hogan as long as I have the belt I'm fine," I tell him. "And if you lose it before you get a new contract well than your gone again. Of course he you just signed the deal Dixie had offered you today it would be a non issue but instead you yelled at her," Kurt points out. I don't say anything since I am starting to see his point. "And there is Traci." "This isn't about my wife," I say. "You snapped at her two and trust me man nothing hurts more than that day you wake up and find out she has truly moved on because you pushed her to. You've got to calm down Reed or else there may be no coming back the fans will turn on and so will everyone you care about," Kurt says.
"I did not snap at Traci," I say. "Oh really I over heard and you practically tore her head off after she defended Hogan a little. Hell even before that do you remember that night you were let go," Kurt reminds me. "I'm just so mad I can't keep control anymore. It's just been to much," I say. "Reed you got to find a way to get control back," Angle says. "Like you Mr. Spit in Hogan's face," I say. "See you haven't changed that much," Kurt says.

A week had passed. The news TNA was moving to Mondays had put a new energy backstage. It was good to see since so many of the guys have worked so hard and so long. I sat my car just waiting. I am so wrapped up in my thoughts I don't see Beer Money walk up to the car. Storm knocks on the window witch I than role down. "Pardon me do you have any Grey Poupon?" Storm asks. "You know that ad hasn't aired in years," I say. They open the door and climb in Roode in the shot gun Storm in the back. "Come on in guys make your self at home," I say. "Well Reed since you haven't come in the locker room yet we'd come and get you partner," Roode says. "Yeah we need make a plan for the match," Storm says.
The look on my face says it all. "You haven't gotten a line up yet have you?" Roode asks. "Nope." "Well it's the two of us and you against The British Invasion and Desmond Wolfe," Roode says. "Great just great," I say. "You want more bad news?" Storm asks. "Storm who the hell wants more bad news," Roode yells at him. "Well with how's he's been lately I don't risk causing him to snap. So I thought ask," Storm says.
It's seems Storm has reached that rare level of drunk where he may actually be smarter becaue of it. He has to be because that actually seemed logical to me. "Ah hell I'm just going to say it Bischoff says he has a special title match for you on March 8th," James says. "Alright one day at a time I got two week before March 8th let's deal with tonight," I say getting out of the car.

"I don't know who the hell you think you are but we don't take orders from you," Brutus Magnus said pointing his finger into Desmond Wolfe's face. "Now look here Sunshine I if you want to win tonight you will listen to me tonight," Wolfe says right back. "Now Brutus calm down," Doug Williams stepping in between his TNA tag partner and his former NOAH tag partner. The two men stand down out of respect to Williams. "Now Brutus have I stirred you wrong? The answer is no. So for tonight and I do stress tonight we work with Desmond here after all it's what he wants," Doug says.
Kevin Nash stood up and looked at the three men. "Now Gents I told you why we need to get rid of Jake Reed so let's step one is tonight now Desmond needs to be the one to pin Reed you hear me," Nash says. "Alright I get how this business works so for you and Mr. Bischoff I will do it," Brutus says.
