Chapter 27
Took me forever to get the end right I actully played with a few different ideas but I think this works
As a kid I always hated dressing nice. Even as an adult I rarely if ever have anything resembling formal attire. Yet here I am all dressed up in a suit and tie about to enter a restaurant where a main course cost more than I spend on food in a week if not a month. I enter and the host walks up to me and says in a french accent. "Sir do you have reservations?" "Yeah it should be under Wolfe party of two," I say. "Right this way," he says as he leads me to a table. Wolfe is doesn't say anything when he sees me so I just sit down.
"So Jake you decided to attack me here?" Wolfe says calm and cool. "No Desmond I just thought I stop by and have a talk with an old friend," I say. "You know Reed I feel sorry for you Reed becaue after Lockdown your done," Wolfe says. "Now how many times have I hear that. Your done Reed Your finished Reed. Hasn't happened yet," I tell him. Wolfe stops and looks at me with a smug smile. "Well this time Mr. Omaha Outlaw you can't over come the odds. You are fighting the power," Wolfe says. "How do you think the story end for you Desmond? Do you think it ends with you standing side by side with Bischoff. The guy is scum and eventually you are going to get the worst of it," I say. "Oh I'm getting the worst of it. After Lockdown it's back to the indys with you," Wolfe says. "Fine don't believe me," I say getting up and leaving. "What not last second attempt to make me see the light or some other bull," Desmond says. "Nah not enough time I got other people to see tonight," I say as I start to remove the freaking tie.
*break*
Man this is a change normally AJ would be the one coming into a bar to try and talk some sense into me. Hell he usually had to show up and convince me leave after last call. It got to be a pretty sad pattern he would come and get me from what ever bar I was at and than the next day when I sobered up he would do everything to get me to quit drinking. I look around I see Beer Money drinking it up at the bar. Flair is on the dance floor dancing with some women young enough to be his daughters.
"When you first become a wrestling fan you like all the good guys like Hogan and Sting but as you get older you become a Flair fan for two reasons one he is the greatest ever and two what teenager doesn't want to be the guy that as Flair has said so many times, "Kissed all the girls,"" I wrote that in high school for a report about something or other and got an A since the teacher was a guy and from Charlotte. Now I look at Flair in his fifties still acting like he is twenty and that is the last thing I want to be. Flair may have kissed all the girls but I kissed the one girl for me.
I finally see AJ over at a table chatting up some blond. There are close to an exit so I form a plan its sound damn loud I could probably fire a gun and people won't hear me. I walk up and smack him in the back of the head and shove him out the door. "What the hell is your problem," He says when we are outside. "How are the kids?" I ask. "There fine," AJ says. "You sure becaue the way your acting since January I have to wonder if you can even remember there names," I yell. "Ever hear let he who is with out sin cast the first stone Jake?" AJ throws right back at me.
"I'm not casting stones AJ. I just happen to be your friend and I am worried about you. Because all of a sudden you've done a complete 180," I yell. "Look at the facts Jake I am working Ric Flair the greatest of all time and he picks me to be his guy. That's like getting drafted number one by Bill Belichick you take it," AJ says as he just walks away. I watch him and than charge him and hit in the back of the head.
"Alright you don't to talk than I do what Irish do best and fight," I yell. AJ comes back and catches me with a jab. I get him with a elbow to the head. We both stagger back a little. He runs at him like he is going for a double leg take down I side step and throw him to the ground. He hits the ground with a thud but manges to sweep my legs and I fall. By now there is a crowd watching us as we start to punch and claw at each other. AJ catches me with a elbow to the my noise that I know breaks it. We both Get up and and in a dirty boxing session trying to hold each others heads with one hand while punching with the other. Suddenly someone grabs on to me and throws me to the ground I think it's got to be Storm or Roode until I hear. "You two are under arrest..." And feel the cold steel of handcuffs going on my wrists.
