Chapter 32

Reid was fixing his shoes when Luke walked over, and sat beside Reid.

Reid looked at him, and noticed he was staring at Killer. Reid touched Luke's arm, and Luke turned to him.

"Oh Reid have you seen how big he is"?

"Yes he is staring me down, but I'm trying to stay focused, but seeing the terror in your eyes is not helping me right now"

"OK I will try to focus too, but that creep is staring is that allowed"?

"Yes who cares, is Ben all ready out there"?

"Yes you will never guess, my Grandma, and my Parents showed up"

"Oh wonderful now I really feel ill"

"Why I want them to see you in action"

"Fine help me with my gloves, and put the tape on tight enough"

"OK" Luke was helping Reid who was telling him what to do. Luke was doing his other hand, when Lucinda walked in, and walked over to Luke, and Reid.

"Hey Luke how is our boy doing"?

Luke smiled, "Fine Grandma you should not be in here"

"Oh there is nothing in here I have not seen before" Lucinda winked at Reid who smiled.

"Reid beat this guy his Manager is talking smack out there saying you will be a joke after tonight"

"Really what is Ben saying about that"?

"Oh he is defending you but the Manager is something, but look at that Guy he is huge"

"I know thanks for reminding me"

Lucinda touched Reid's arm, "I'm rooting for you Reid, win for my Grandson"

"I'm winning for both of us Mrs. Walsh"

"Of course you know what I mean"

Lucinda kissed Luke on the cheek, and walked out.

"Reid I'm sorry about that, she actually cares about you"

"She is cool, but your mom is not one of my fans"

"No she probably wants me to fail at this she hates that I'm working here"

"Yeah I know".

Ben walked in, "Are you guys ready, they are going to call you out in a few minutes, they are calling Killer first, than you"

"Luke go with Ben, I'm fine"

"No let Luke walk with you, I will see you out there, and Reid you can beat this guy remember that"

"Thanks Ben".

Ben walked out, they look over seeing Killer stand up with his guys talking to him, and he wasn't even listening he just gave Reid a look, and walked out, they heard his name being yelled out, and Reid heard people yelling out, he wasn't sure if they were booing or not. Reid got up, and was pacing when Luke touched his arm.

"Come on they are waiting for us, your going to do fine". Reid walked to the door, Luke opened it, and Reid walked out. People were clapping calling out his name he kept looking straight ahead as Luke walked beside him. He got to the ring he walked up the steps, he stepped over the ropes, and went inside. He looked at Ben, and Luke, and could see they were worried, but he looked out at the crowd, and suddenly felt stronger, and he knew he had to be positive, and just maybe he could beat killer tonight if he used some of his moves, that Killer was not use to. He stood facing the referee who yelled out Killers name, and said.

"In this corner weighting in at 240 pounds, 6 feet , 5 inches, he has been undefeated , Killer". He walked out putting his hands up, and Reid heard cheers, and some people chanting Reid's name, making him feel better.

The referee looked at Reid, and yelled, "In this corner weighing in at 180 pounds, 6 feet 1 inch, Reid Oliver " Reid walked over putting his hands up, he was surprised the fans were going wild, and he wanted to smile but he stayed cool, he didn't want to seem over confident. The referee told them to face each other, and they just stared, Reid could see the hatred coming from killers eyes, and it freaked him out a little, but he glared back as they punched their gloves together, and moved back to their corners waiting for the fight to begin.
