Chapter 15

Reid was sitting on the bench, Steve walked over. "I'm sorry Reid, I know I only won because of your Manager"

"Yeah you won, enjoy it tomorrow it might not happen again"

"Yeah no hard feelings"

"No hard feelings I'm tough Steve don't worry"

"I know you are Reid, but I feel for you"

"Why"?

"That guy would kill me"

"Yeah he is ok, but yeah he never shuts up"

"I noticed he was distracting me too". Reid smiled as Steve walked into the showers. He turned, "Maybe you should go easy on the guy, he really was worried about you Reid"

"He should be I was knocked out because of him". Steve smiled as he walked into the showers. Luke came in walking over to Reid, "I know what I did was wrong, but I'm learning I'm sorry"

"I told you to be quiet Snyder"

"I know but I'm a manager, I have to stand up for you"

"Not when I'm in the ring fighting, you distracted me. If someone gets a whiff that Steve knocked me out, we won't be getting any offers is that what you want"?

"No but guess what"?

"What"?

"I have a offer the guy is going to come here Friday for a fight. We can tell people in the neighbourhood to come, and see the fight, you beat the guy, and the offers will come in"

"Who am I fighting can I ask"?

"Killer Jones do you know him"?

"Killer Jones from Milltown"?

"Yeah why I called one of the agents my Grandma deals with. Killer Jones said he wants a try at you. He sounds smug but you can take him down right"?

Reid couldn't help but laugh he walked over to some magazines opening one, and handed it to Luke. "Here is Killer Jones, thanks Luke".

"OMG this isn't him is it"?

"Yeah he is about 280pounds, he never lost a fight in Milltown, he paralysed a man once, but I can take him"

"Oh man should I back out"?

"No I will go through with it, but next time maybe give me a clue who your booking". Reid walked to the showers Luke sat down looking at the photo. "OMG your dead Reid he will crush you with one leg". He shut his eyes maybe this job was to much for him. He was looking at the magazine when Reid walked out.

"Luke don't worry maybe I will get lucky"

"Oh I don't know this guy might end your career"

"Wow you have faith in me Bud"

"I do but this guy is like a bulldozer, he has 100 pounds on you"

"Yeah the bigger they are the harder they fall". Reid was jumping around making Luke smiled.

"I will be like Rocky, I will wear him down, and than jab, down the Killer goes"

Luke laughed, "Beat this guy Reid, I will cook dinner for a month, and give you a back rub for a year"

"Dinner for a month, is that including desserts"?

"Yeah why"?

"Oh I'm winning for sure, I haven't had a home cooked meal since my Mom died."

Luke smiled, "You think you can beat this guy"?

"I know I can I'm Reid Oliver"

Luke smiled, "I love your confidence"

"Well I'm actually scared to death, but I'm confident"

Luke smiled, "Want to get a burger, than you can train, I think you need to do overtime". Luke got up Reid messed his hair, "Have faith I'm Reid Oliver"

"Yeah I know"

"Luke you really are boring, but so cute". Reid walked out Luke stood silent, Reid turned.

"What is wrong now"?

"You think I'm cute"?

"Oh that yeah but I think the puppies at the Pound are cute too"

"Oh nice you are comparing me to a Puppy"

"Yeah it is the pout, the hair all messed up, and your mouth they love to yap too". Luke chased Reid as they ran outside, and walked to the diner for a burger.
