Bike Keeper Jammer
Chapter 1
Working for the wrestling business does has it's perks and downers. I broke into
the business a few years ago, well in dark matches that is. I came in broke and
I went out broken. I got my shoulder busted up and I couldn't continue my career
anymore. So I am now official ring crew and such. In other words the Superstars
lacky. I adjusted my black fingerless gloves as I walked down the ramp from the
back of one of the trucks after unloading everything for the ring crew to set
up. The cases ain't light, but I could pull the weight. I had to prove myself
that I could do the job to the big boss, Mr.McMahon. I did and ended up staying.
Sorry I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jamica Stone. I am short,
around 5'3 but I got bulk within me. I weigh about 150 lbs with short brown hair
and big hazel-green eyes. I am sort of tomboyish, so I am always acting like I
am one of the guys, but when I need to act like a lady I will. I have an
athletic built, even though I don't wrestle anymore, I still keep physically
fit. I have the size, but sometimes my abilities are always questioned cause of
my height and being a woman.
Scott came walking up to me and placed his hand upon my shoulder, "Jammer your
wanted in McMahon's office now." I sighed as I stopped and heard those words, I
looked to Scott. "What didn't I do now?" Scott shrugged, "I don't know, but he
wants you in there pronto." I nodded as he patted my shoulder and walked off.
Scott is my boss and the only one who treats me for me, not just another worker.
I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler as I walked down the hallway in
the backstage area to Mr. McMahon's office. I removed my backwards OCC Choppers
hat and placed my hair behind my ears as I knocked upon the door. Vince heard
the knock and placed the papers he had in his hands down upon the desk in front
of him as he sat up and looked to the door, "Doors open." I slowly turned the
knob and opened the door. I poked my head in with a smile upon my face, I know I
was smiling on the outside, but on the inside I was nervous upon what Vince
wanted. "Oh Jamica. Please come in." He motioned for me to take a seat in a
chair in front of his desk. I just nodded as I walked into the office and closed
the door gently and made my way across the room and took a seat. I was wearing
baggy jeans, a black WWE t-shrit tucked in. I sat there and looked to him as he
was looking down as some papers upon his desk. "You wanted to see me
Mr.McMahon?" He looked up from his paper work and nodded, "Yes I did. I wanted
to know how the new job is going?" "It's going well sir, thank you for the
opportunity." He nodded as he smiled some. "Good to hear. I wanted to see you
because your work ethnic is fantastic Jamica. I just wanted to mention that." I
nodded as I looked to him. He looked back down to the papers upon the desk, then
to me once again. "I have something to ask of you tonight and from now on
Jamica, and I am hoping you can take the task and succeed with it." "Yes sir, I
will not let you down, pending on what it is?" I asked with curiosity in my
voice.
Vince smiled to me and nodded as he continued, "Yes the task I have for you is a
request from one of our top superstars on our roster. I don't know how to put
this, but you are in charge of his motorcycle from now on." My heart leaped
nearly out of my chest and then my jaw dropped. "Umm caring for a motorcycle
sir?" He nodded. "Yes, the superstar I am referring too is named the Undertaker,
also know as Mark Calloway. He just returned from injury and his angle is
requiring he rides a motorcycle to ring side for his entrance now. I see on your
record here, you know a lot of about motorcycle engine repair and such." I
nodded as he continued. "I know you will do fine. The bike for tonight should be
on one of the trucks out back. Just a warning though, treat it like it was one
of your own kids, because Mark does." I nodded. "Yes sir, you can count on me
sir, but what else do I have to do with him. Just take care of his bike and make
sure it gets on and off the truck and ready for him for shows and packed up for
the next show?" Vince smiled as he leaned back in his chair. "You got it Jamica.
If Mark gives you any guff or lip, let me know. You are our fifth bike tender
we've have come about from our staff. Cause nobody hasn't been able to take his
attitude." I smirked a bit as I slowly got to my feet and removed my glove and
shook Mr.McMahon's hand. "No worries sir, he will be no problem. Trust me."
Vince shook my hand with a nod. "Good to hear, now if you'll excuse me I have a
lot of work to do." I nodded as I left his office and headed out back to the
trucks.
Chapter 2
I sighed as I placed my glove back upon my hand and strapped it tightly. Scott
saw me as he was instructing a few guys on a few things. I walked over to Scott
as the other gentleman walked away. He turned and looked to me, "Hey Jammer,
what did Mr.McMahon want?" I rolled my eyes, "He gave me more work. Now I am
charge of the Undertaker's motorcycle needs along with my other work." Scott
went white as a ghost as he sighed. I looked to him, "Scott what's wrong?" He
shook his head, "Your perfect for the job Jammer. He is just very hard to
handle, the last guy that tipped his bike over by mistake, well ended up in the
hospital with a brooken wrist, after Taker twisted it and gave him a few choice
words." I sighed and placed my hat back on my head, "Well don't worry Scott.
Mr.Taker isn't gonna walk on me." Scott nodded as he pointed to the truck that
the back was still locked up. "The bike is in there. I looked at it before we
left, it looks to have a small oil leak. I know he hasn't had time to take a
look at it." I nodded as Scott handed me the key to the lock on the truck. I
walked over to the truck and unlocked it and lowered the door with Scott's help
to the floor. I looked in and saw the bike along with two others in front of it.
I looked to Scott, "Are all of these bikes his?" Scott nodded as he walked away.
I sighed and unloaded the one near the back end of the truck, very carefully. I
placed the bike upon it's kick stand and grabbed a nearby rag and a tool box and
looked to the oil leak Scott mentioned. I found it and opened up the tool box. I
grabbed a couple of tools and slowly got the repairs down.
It took longer than I thought. I had my back to the locker room hallways and
such as I heard heavy foot steps of work boots heading my way. "Hey you! Get
away from my bike!" A deep southern voice bellowed. I sighed as I slowly stood
up and turned around and looked to the Dead Man himself approaching me. I wiped
my hands upon a rag as he glared at me with his emerald green eyes as he stood
on the other side of his bike. He growled and looked to me, "What are you doing
near my bike?" I sighed as I crouched down and put the tools back into the tool
box and picked up the box and walked over to the truck and placed it on the back
of it. I turned around and leaned against the wall of the truck. "I was doing my
job, like everybody else does around here. It called making a living. What's
your excuse?" Mark lifted a brow, "A smart ass huh?" He rubbed his chin and
lifted a brow to me. "I have never seen you around before, what's your name
boy?" I snorted and walked down the ramp of the truck and removed my hat and
looked up to him with my hands upon my hips, "For your information sir, I am not
a Boy. I am a lady and you have, but just not around your bikes. I am what they
call the superstar lacky and I unload and load the trucks for the shows. Now I
was put in charge of your bikes, make sure they are unloaded, loaded and
repaired and in working condition for your entrances and exits to the ring,
every night." Mark lifted a brow and crossed his arms over his chest. I snorted
as I placed my hat backwards upon my head once again.
I stepped back as we stood there sizing one another with our eyes. He placed his
sunglasses back on that were sitting on top of his head, sort of blending in
with his long red hair that was tied back in a low tail along with a dark blue
bandana tied around his head. He wore black tight jeans and just a black leather
vest. Tension you could feel it and cut it with a knife, I swore you could
before he spoke. "Well I see we are going to have a problem." I lifted a brow as
I crossed my arms over my chest and looked to him, "Oh are we?" I snickered.
"Yes we are. I don't want chicks touching my bikes nor repairing them." I just
snorted as Scott came walking over and stood there for a moment. I looked to
him, "Yes Scott?" He looked to me, "Ummm. I hope I ain't interrupting anything?"
I lowered my arms as I grabbed my fingerless black gloves out of my back pocket.
"If you are I am glad you did." Mark glared at me and then turned his head to
Scott. "Does this Ms. Attitude work for you?" Scott looked to Mark and nodded.
"Yes she does. Why is there a problem Mr.Taker?" Mark lowered his arms and
removed his sunglasses and looked to Scott. "Yes there is. She was around my
bikes. How many times do I have to tell you, don't go near them, unless I am
present." Scott nodded, "Yes I know Mr.Taker, but Jammer was put in charge of
everything to deal with your bikes. Didn't she tell you that?" Scott looked to
me, "Yes I did Scott, but it seems he is too thick skulled to comprehend it."
Scott sighed and shook his head. "Jammer don't talk about Mr.Taker like that.
The ring crew needs your help at ring side. We are a bit behind cause of the
truck trouble. Can you go and help them please?" I nodded and walked off.
Mark watched me walk off and then growled and looked to Scott. "She is never be
near my bikes or speak to me like that again. Is that understood?" Scott placed
his hands up in front of him. "Don't get hasty with me Mr.Taker, that is just
the way she is. She can't stay away from your bikes, it's part of her job now."
Mark lifted a brow to this, "She was telling me the truth?" he questioned. Scott
nodded. "On who's orders?" "Mr.McMahon's orders. Active this afternoon. I am
sorry about Jammer's attitude towards you Mr.Taker, I will speak to her about
that, it won't happen again." Mark nodded, "You better make sure it doesn't. I
will take matters into my own hands next time." Scott nodded as he walked off.
Mark was steaming with anger as he walked away from the bike and down to Vince's
office. He reached the door and pounded his fist upon the door. Vince was on the
phone and jumped when he heard the slamming upon his door. He hung up from his
phone call as Mark stormed into his office red faced and pissed off
dramatically.
Vince stood up and looked to Mark. "Mark what's wrong?" Mark didn't answer right
away he just started pacing Vince's office instead. Vince sighed and shook his
head, "I guess you met your new bike tender and repairer." Mark stopped in his
pacing and looked to Vince. "It's not gonna work Vince, no way, no how.. NO
CHANCE IN HELL!" Mark bellowed. Vince placed his hands up and looked to Mark.
"Hold on now Mark, no need to get all upset now." Mark growled, "I am not
upset..." Vince nodded and placed his hands together in front of him as he
spoke, "Now what happen?" Mark glared at Vince, "She insulted me in front of the
ring crew, nobody and I mean nobody doesn't insult me. Everybody knows that.
Plus I have told everybody including you Vince, that nobody touches my bikes
unless I am present to see that they get in the truck safely and off the truck."
Vince nodded. "Well things are going to change Mark. I placed Jamica in for that
task, even if you are present or not. She is very reliable and great at
motorcycle repair work." Mark lifted a brow, "How do you know this?" "It's in
her file, plus I have seen her help the guys fix other things around here. She
is very handy. Once you get past the attitude and such. How did you act towards
her at first, maybe it was your approach." Mark lifted a brow, "My approach was
fine." he grumbled. Vince sighed a bit, "I know how you can be Mark. Give her a
chance if something goes wrong again. I will speak with her alright?" Mark
nodded and stormed out of his office and down to his locker room.
Chapter 3
I finished my work with the ring crew and the show did start on time. I walked
back to the truck and took a soft, clean rag and wiped down the tank and what
not of fingerprints and stuff. Scott motioned for me to get the bike to the
ramp, cause his mighty highness Mark was up after the match that was taken
place. I gripped the hand bars and let the bike lean against me while I got the
kick stand up and I pushed the bike over to the ramp and placed it where it
needed to be. I placed the kick stand down with my gloved hand once again and
walked off, before he came around.I looked at my watch and knew I had a break
before I needed to take care of the highness' bike once again. I trudged to the
cafeteria and got me something to eat. Some of the ring crew was there sitting
amongst themselves chatting away. I grabbed what I wanted and headed back out
and found a curtain box to sit on.
I placed my bottle of water next to me and unwrapped my sandwich and started in
on it.
"Hey there you are Jammer." I looked up from my so called meal and smiled as one
of my best friends came up to me. He was smiling to me, well when he wasn't in
character that is. He wrapped his massive arms around me and hugged me. I hugged
him back as he let me go. I slid over as he took a seat. "Haven't seen you
around lately? Been avoiding me?" I shook my head, "No I haven't Glen. Just been
majorly busy. I got more work just added to me today." Glen looked to me with
his lucious hazel eyes, "Now what did Vinny give you for work?" he asked. I
rolled my eyes, "You don't wanna know..." "Aww come on Jammer, can't be that
hard can it?" He asked puzzled. I sighed as I finished my sandwich. "Vince put
me in charge of Taker's motorcycles." I grabbed my bottle of water and drank
some. Glen lifted a brow to me, "Really?" I nodded as I reclosed my bottle of
water. "Oh boy.. Alright how did it go?" I rolled my eyes, "You don't wanna know
Glen really." He nodded. "Alright, it didn't go so well. I took the bike off the
truck oh so very carefully and placed it upon the kick stand and my boss told me
about a small oil leak, so I got down to fixing that. Well I was yelled at to
get away from the bike as I just finished and was about to wipe it down of
finger prints and such for the show. But of course before I even got to do that,
Taker went off the deep end. He gave me an attitude and so I gave him one back.
He even had the nerve to call me a boy." Glen rolled his eyes, "First thing you
have to remember with him Jammer is that he is so hard headed, I am surprised
him and I are still friends sometimes. But once you get to know him, he is a
cool guy." "Yes so I've heard. I ain't gonna take his crap Glen, everybody knows
I won't. He will find out the hard way, if he doesn't treat me with respect."
Glen nodded. "I know what you mean Jammer. He will get it after awhile. Just
give it time." He placed his right arm over my shoulders. I leaned against him
with my back and sighed. "Glen I don't know what I would do without you to talk
to." Glen chuckled a bit. "You would be going insane?" I chuckled lightly and
nodded. "Probably that or miserable out of my mind." Glen chuckled and looked
down the hallway. "In speaking of the red devil. Here he comes now."
I sighed and sat up and looked to Glen. He hugged me one last time and walked
off. Glen passed him as he walked by. Mark didn't even knowledge Glen's presence
nor his greeting. Glen stopped and turned around and watched as Mark approached
me. I got to my feet as I grabbed my gloves and bottle of water. I looked up to
him as he stood there with his hands upon his hips. I lifted a brow, "Something
I can help you with your highness?" He just snorted, he was in his ring attire.
Blue jeans, black boots, and black wife beater type shirt on. He placed his hand
out and dropped some keys into my hand. I looked to them and then back to him,
"What's this?" I asked. He sighed, "Keys to my bikes. I have no other choice,
Vince told you to do a job and I expect it to be done right understand?" I
smirked and grasped the keys in my hand and saluted him like an Army soldier,
"Yes sir." He rolled his eyes as he turned his back to me and started to walk
off. He stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder to me, "Oh by the way
my bike needs cleaning. It's over in the garage.
I wanted it cleaned up and on the truck for the next city." I saluted him once
again as he walked off. I shook my head as he walked off down another hallway. I
saw Glen down the hallway and he was leaning against a wall laughing. I joined
him as we walked down the hallway towards the garage area.
Chapter 4
Glen and I arrived into the garage and I saw the bike. "Dude what the hell did
he do to the bike?" I walked over to it and saw the damage. It looked like
someone took a bat to it. I sighed as I crouched down and looked at the damage
closely. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, after removing my hat and
looked to Glen. "It's going to be a long night. I don't think I will have this
repaired before the next show." Glen stood next to me and placed his hand upon
my shoulder, "You will Jammer. I've seen you in badder situations than this." I
nodded, "Your right Glen." I placed my hat upon my head backwards as always and
walked over to the truck and grabbed the tool box and walked back over and
opened up the box and got to work. Glen left to go do his match and he would be
back to see me later on. I waved a greasey hand over my shoulder to him and kept
tinkering at the damage.
I got the tank and fenders removed carefully, at least the fenders weren't
scratched. I could fix the scratches on the tank with no problem. In the next
city I knew a gas tank painter that could fix it with no problem. Taker was
lucky I had friends in quiet places for emergencies like this, or he would be
without this bike for awhile. The engine was still a bit warm, so I had to put
my gloves on to tinker with it. I had a few parts I could replace right now, but
the others would have to wait until I got to the next town to get them and place
them on. The show was in two nights, so I had time to get this bike done. Scott
walked over as the show ended with Glen walking beside him in conversation.
"There you are. I was wondering where you disappeared too." I looked up from my
work with my eyes to Scott. "Where else would I be.. His Highness wants his bike
repaired for the next show." Scott sighed and shook his head, "I told him to use
another bike if this one wasn't done, but he insisted this one he wanted to use.
I think he is testing you Jammer." I nodded as I kept on working. "I know he is
Scott, he ain't going to get rid of me that easy. So I will do the work the best
I can for now, but once we get to the next city I have to do the rest there. I
need parts that I don't have." Scott nodded and walked off after he was called
by some other workers.
Glen pulled up a metal folding chair and kept me company for awhile while I
worked. "Don't let him bully you Jammer. He likes to do that to new people
around him, just to see them break." "Well Glen first time for everything with
him, I ain't gonna break and give into him. I ain't that type of gal." I tossed
a damaged fuel line away and placed in a new one. I had to remove a couple of
parts from the engine that were no good. "Do you know what happen to this bike?"
I asked. Glen sighed and leaned forward with his forearms upon his knees, "I
heard in the locker rooms that Taker planned on having Kurt Angle take a chair
to the bike, to make it part of the angle."
I dropped a wrench at the words Glen just told me. I turned around and looked to
him. I was pissed. "This was done deliberatley?" Glen nodded. I growled as I
kept working. "Well I wish I was told so I could of had the parts here to repair
it." "It was an add in, and Kurt didn't know until last minute." "Why do I have
this feeling, I am being punished?" I asked as I tightened up a few things on
the engine that came loose. I removed my gloves, they were getting in the way.
"Your not Jammer, your being tested by Taker, like Scott said. I knew he was
going to try your patience, but not like this." My hands slipped off the wrench
and hit the hot engine and got jammed between them. The wrench dropped to the
floor with a loud 'clang' as I screamed in pain. Glen got to his feet real quick
and grabbed two rags and took the engine off my hands that had shifted after my
hands slammed into the loose part and placed it upon the ground. Scott and a few
of the ring crew heard me and came running.
My hands were burning as Glen poured cold water from a few bottles of water a
nearby ref handed him. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth as he applied cold
cloths. Scott knelt down and placed a hand upon my shoulder as he sent two guys
to go get a trainer. "Hold on Jammer. The guys have gone to get a trainer. Relax
or try too." My body shook. "I didn't know the engine was still that hot, I
should of left my gloves.. on.." Glen knelt down in his blue jeans in the water
as he dumped a bit on my clothed draped hands. I could still feel them burning.
I couldn't move my fingers nor feel them, just burning pain. "Hang in there
Jammer. Help is coming." Glen said as he kept adding water when I told him too.
Scott got up and motioned for the guys to load up the bike and the parts
carefully into the truck. I shook my hand, "Don't that is my job...." Scott
shook his head, "Your off duty for the rest of the night Jammer, until you see a
doctor about your hands. In the next city I will look up a mechanic to finish it
up." I shook my head as Tony one of the WWE Trainers came running down the
hallway, led by one of my co-workers.
Tony knelt down and took a look at my hands. They were in bad shape. He lifted
the cloths up just a bit and placed it back down. "I am not even going to touch
them Jammer. You got some serious burns. You better go to the local hospital and
see a burn specialist." I sighed and nodded as Tony stood up with the medical
bag in tow. He looked to Scott, "I would have the medical team take her, they
are still here. They can make her more comfortable and get her there faster."
Scott nodded as the medics came jogging from the other way with Andy, another
co-worker of mine in tow. One knelt down and dropped the medical bags and hooked
me up with an IV and started the pain meds for me and everything. They replaced
the cloths upon my hands gently and placed clean, cold saline upon them. Glen
got out of the way as the medics worked on me. He felt anger bundling up inside
of him. He hated to see Jammer hurt. It was an accident yes, but it could of
been prevented if Mark wasn't so hard on her in the first place. The medic stood
up and brought Glen out of his thoughts. "Can you carry her for us please?" Glen
nodded and slowly picked me up and carried me to the awaiting ambulance. Glen
climbed in with me in his lap. I didn't want him to leave. The medics said it
was fine as long as I stayed still.
Scott walked and stood there with the rest of the crew as the ambulance drove
off. "That's it guys. Let's get back to work. I hate to say it. Jammer wil be
alright. Just don't touch the bike, Taker will have a fit. Jammer will deal with
it or I will." The guys nodded as they seperated and got the equipment packed up
and loaded and ready to move on to the next arena.
Chapter 5
I sighed as Glen drove me to the hotel for some much needed sleep, plus the pain
meds did make me tired. My hands were wrapped up in white bandages except from
the middle knuckles on my fingers, from there up was unwrapped. I could move my
fingers a bit but it was still a bit painful to do so. The ride to the hotel was
quiet as a graveyard. Glen pulled in and parked and he helped me out of the car.
I felt helpless cause I couldn't use my hands right now. We checked in and
headed for our rooms for some sleep. Our rooms were right next to one another,
Glen wanted it that way, to keep an eye on me in case. There was a door between
the two rooms so Glen would have better access to help me with bandage changes
and applying my meds to my hands for awhile. I was stuck with bad second degree
burns. I couldn't lift heavy things for awhile. So I was off of loading trucks
of equipment for awhile, but if I was up for it I could continue light work with
the bikes, but I had to wear gloves over the bandages. From now on I was going
to wear gloves when I repaired the bikes, no matter what. I got ready for bed
and climbed into bed and fell right to sleep.
Glen settled down into his room next door and heard me moving around a bit then
silence. He had the between door open just a bit in case Jamica yelled for his
assistance and he would hear her. He showered at the arena so he just changed
into a pair of sweat pants and settled on the bed to watch some TV for awhile.
Then drifted off to sleep after awhile.
A few days later, my hands were starting to do a bit better, not as painful,
thanks to pain meds when I needed them. I was doing light work. The bike was
repaired right on time by a repair man I knew personally to do it. The tank
paint was fixed up like new, not noticable that it was scratched. I slipped my
gloves on gently and strapped them down as I placed my baseball cap on backwards
and unloaded his highness' bike from the truck. I climbed on it and rolled it
off carefully and placed it upon it's kick stand and leaned it upon it. I got
off and walked off to help some of the superstar's with some things they needed
done. Everybody knew what happen to me and took it easy on what I could and
could not do. On the other hand, Mark, well Mark is Mark. He was still harsh at
me and I gave it right back to him.
My buddy just finished placing the gas tank upon the bike from paint repairs
when his highness came stomping along for the inspection. I was on my way back
to the garage when I heard Reed's voice, "Put me down.. man.. I didn't ruin your
bike.. I fi...fixed it.." I picked up my walk to a run as I ran past Glen. I
came to a halt at the sight of Mark holding Reed by his shirt, nearly choking
him. Mark was red in the face as he spoke, "What the FUCK are you doing near my
bike boy?" I growled, he was treating my help like trash, once again. I walked
over and yelled, "Mark put him down on his feet NOW!" Mark's head whipped around
as he furrowed his brow at me. "What are you going to do about it little lady?"
he grumbled. "You are going to regret messing with my help.." I slowly
approached him and reached up and twisted his left ear. Mark yelled as he slowly
sank to his knees and let Reed go upon his feet. "Now you will leave him alone
or I will pull your ear off..That UNDERSTOOD?" Mark gruffed in pain, "Yea now
let go!" I let go as he fell backwards and placed his hand upon his now red ear
to match his face. He got to his feet and over towered me. Reed stepped forward
to help. I placed my hand up to him to stop. Mark looked down at me snorting as
he breathed hard. I couldn't help but laugh at him, "Aww did I hurt the big, bad
Deadman?" He gritted his teeth so hard, I thought his teeth would break under
the pressure. "You ever do that to me again, you will end up in a body bag!!" He
yelled as he stormed off. I just rolled my eyes as I heard him kicking and
slamming things, like a little child in a tantrum as he walked down the hallway.
Reed adjusted himself as he packed up his tools. I paid him for the work and he
left.
Glen came walking over to me and lifted a brow as he pointed over his shoulder,
"What has gotten into Mark?" I couldn't help but laugh, "Let's just say he got
his butt whipped by a lady by an ear twist." Glen busted out laughing, "Is that
what happen? I heard him yellin' and I didn't know what happen. Jammer you are a
card.." "Like I said Glen he will learn that he can't boss and make everybody
afraid of him. I ain't afraid of him, even though I am short." Glen nodded as he
wiped tears out of his eyes from laughing. "What made you twist his ear? Did he
insult you again?" I shook my head, "No he insulted a friend of mine that came
to help me with the bike repair I couldn't finish. Mark found him near the bike
and had a fit, as usual. He didn't even ask nothing, he just assumed the guy was
out to hurt his bike. That is why I ran past you and never acknowledged you.
Sorry about that by the way." Glen shook his head and placed his hand upon my
shoulder, "It's alright Jammer. I understand, Mark needed to be put in his place
at the time and well you are the right girl to do it around here lately. Alot of
the guys had been walking on egg shells around Mark as of late. He's been moody
all week. His second marriage fell apart on him and he is taking everything out
on the other guys, instead in other ways." I nodded. "Understandable yes for the
others, but I will not take his bull shit. I don't care if his dog left him
Glen, that doesn't give him a right to bully everybody around here. Especially
me, he is lucky I know how to repair bikes like I do or he wouldn't have his
bikes in best shape they need to be in." Glen nodded in aggreeance. "I agree
with you. But we all give him his space, but ever since you've been working on
his bikes and around him, the guys are pretty much back to normal around him,
not walking on egg shells so to speak." I nodded.
"Good to hear that Glen. At least I can tame his highness hopefully to start
acting like his age and not his shoe size." Glen chuckled as he nodded and
hugged me. I returned the hug as Scott came walking over. He stopped and looked
to me, "Jammer did you insult Mark again?" I released Glen from the hug and
looked to Scott. "No why do you ask?" "He's fuming and in Mr.McMahon's office
right now bitching up a storm about you, on how you disrespect him." I rolled my
eyes as Glen shook his head. "No I did not.. I grabbed his ear and gave it a
small twist because he had Reed in a choke slam position practically. He
threatened my help and he wouldn't let go and so I taught him a lesson. He
stormed off like a little child. That is all that happened." Scott nodded as he
sighed. "Alright, but just fair warning, Mr.McMahon is looking for you with Mark
to speak to you about it." I nodded. "Thanks Scott, but I will handle it." Scott
nodded as he walked off.
Chapter 6
I finished wiping down the bike and walked off with Glen to the dining area for
some dinner. He got our plates of food and sat down with Chris Jericho, Adam,
Lita and Stacy at a table. We were caught up in conversation and eating when
Mr.McMahon came walking in with a fuming Mark in tow. Glen nudged me with his
elbow as I was finishing up my salad. "Guess who?" he whispered. I looked out of
the corner of my eye and couldn't help but chuckle. "He's back for more huh?"
Glen couldn't help but laugh. Everybody else at the table looked at us like we
were crazy. Vince approached the table and as Mark stood outside of the
cafeteria. He greeted everybody at the table and then looked to me, "Jamica may
I speak with you for a moment please?" he asked. I nodded as I slowly stood up
and grabbed my gloves and hat as Vince and I walked off and walked over to where
Mark was. Mark just gleamed at me as he crossed his massive arms over his chest.
I just snorted at him as Vince cleared his throat. "I've been told you are
disrespecting my talent Jamica?" I looked to Vince and shook my head, "I have
not sir. Anybody can tell I've been friendly to them and helpful. Most of your
talent enjoys having me around." Vince nods, "Yes so I see. It has come to my
attention that we do have a problem though?" I lifted a brow as my eyes shifted
and looked to Mark. "Yes so I have heard." "I am not going to be pointing
fingers or anything, but what is going on between you and Mr.Calloway here?"
"You wanna know what's wrong sir?" Vince nodded. "I will tell you what's wrong
sir. This gentleman's attitude towards me and everybody else totally sucks. He
doesn't treat me with no respect and thinks he is high and mighty above
everybody. I have heard everybody was walking on egg shells around Mr.Calloway
here until I came into the picture, now they are just normal." "I see, that is
not what I've been told." Vince gleams at Mark. Mark growls under his breath as
he speaks, "She gave me an attitude and disrespected me in front of the help
Vince. Nobody doesn't do that too me and ruin my property at the same time."
Vince sighed and looked to me, "Mark told me what happen earlier. I would like
to hear your side of the story Jamica."
I nodded, "With pleasure Mr.McMahon. I unloaded his bike off the truck like I
always do with some of the guys help because of my hands not being fully healed
yet. I called in a very good friend that is a bike mechanic from the area to put
Mr.Calloway's bike back together for tonight. I walked off and left my friend
Mr.Reed Baickman." Vince nodded, "Oh yes I have met him. Nice gentleman. Please
continue." "I left Reed to his work while I went off to do some light work for
some of the other superstars who asked me.
I was coming back from finishing up those duties and I heard yelling from
Mr.Calloway after I heard Mr.Baickman, trying to explain that he was just
repairing the bike. I ran down the hallway and caught Mr.Calloway here with my
help up in the air in his hands by his collar, almost ready to choke him to
death if I didn't show up. I told Mr.Calloway to place him down. He just looked
at me and ask me what I would do if he didn't. That is when I grabbed his ear
and twisted it with just enough pressure to bring him to his knees and release
Reed. I let him go after I spoke to him about leaving Reed alone or I would
twist his ear off. He said he would and I let go. He got to his feet and tried
to intimidate me. Which didn't work. He stormed off and that was that. I gave
Reed his money for helping me and he left. I finished with the work and Glen
came walking along after he passed Mark practically destroy the hallway as he
walked."
Vince listened to my story and then looked to Mark, "What do you have to say
Mr.Calloway?" Mark was speechless and looked away from me and Vince. "I have
nothing to say to her Vince. She has been giving me an attitude since day one
and I don't like it one bit. She nearly destroyed my bike in the process." I
just rolled my eyes and went right up to him and grabbed him by his sleeveless
jean shirt and pulled him down to my level. "Listen here your highness. I have
been giving you an attitude because you have been obnoxious, arrogant, bag of
shit towards me with a bad ass attitude to boot. I found your bike in shabbles
after your match. I was never told that Kurt Angle was going to take a chair to
it. I was repairing it when your bike engine decided to bite me back. I have a
witness to this all and it's Glen Jacobs. He was there through the whole thing
and has been helping me on and off. You better start treating me with respect
and you will get it back. By the way BOY, I am a lady and my name is Jamica
Stone, but you can call me Jammer once you get your attitude adjusted and show
me some respect and you will get it back." I shoved him backwards as he stumbled
on his feet. Mark looked to Vince in shock on how Jamica had handled him. Vince
was as well.
I looked to Vince as I adjusted my black RVD t-shirt and cleared my throat.
"Sorry about that Mr.McMahon, that was out of line of me, but he deserved every
word. He has giving me nothing but disrespect. Scott and Glen and alot of others
are witness to this." Vince nodded as he found his voice once again. "Alright
Jamica you are free to go. I am very sorry about his attitude. Hopefully this
will never happen again. Again I am very sorry." I nodded as I looked to Mark
then back to Vince, "No need to apologize for his actions Vince. He should be
not you. Just my opinion. If you'll excuse me, I have work to do before the
night is over." Vince nodded as I placed my OCC Choppers Baseball cap backwards
upon my head and snorted to Mark once again and walked off.
Chapter 7
Glen walked out of the cafeteria and walked passed Mark and Vince. Vince was
laying into Mark about he had been treating Jamica. Glen just chuckled lightly
to himself as he walked down the hallway and saw Jamica sitting upon one of the
black cases staring at her bandaged hands. He slowly approached her and saw the
bandages needed changing. He placed a hand upon her shoulder as he walked over.
Jamica jumped and sighed, "Glen it's just you. You startled me." He sat down
upon the box next to her, "Sorry didn't mean too. How are you hands doing?" I
just shrugged to him. "Alright I guess." He looked to them, "Need help changing
the bandages and adding your meds to them?" I looked up to him and nodded.
"Please would you?" He smiled down at her and nodded. "Sure. Where is
everything?" I pointed to a black JanSport backpack next to the box they sat on.
He leaned down and picked up as Jamica told him where the stuff was located. He
found the clean roll of gauze and things to change the bandages. He grabbed the
scissors and slowly and gently cut the bandages away from the burns. I sighed as
I sat upon the box in an indian position in front of Glen. Him and I have been
friends since I started in the WWE. He was wearing dark blue jeans, white
t-shirt that was tight along with his jeans, his long black hair was just a
bunch of curls and tied back in a low pony tail. He was incredibly muscular and
very gentle natured. He was quiet around the others, except when he was with me
then he was a different person. I guess I brought out the chatiness in him, well
that is what some of the other superstars tell me. Him and I have both been told
we make a great couple and should go out, but I keep telling them all to mind
their business. But I would love to go out with him, but I don't want it to ruin
our great friendship if it didn't work out.
Glen and I must of gotten lost in our thoughts when Mark came walking over and
stood there. Glen was just finishing up as he looked up to Mark. "Oh Hey Mark.
Didn't see you standing there." Mark nodded to Glen as I looked up to him. "Can
I talk to you for a moment Jamica?" Mark asked. Glen slowly stood up and placed
the med stuff back into my back pack and slung it over his shoulder. "I will
take this to my dresser room Jammer, come see me when you need another bandage
change. I gotta get ready for my match anyways." I nodded as he walked away
after he kissed my forehead. I smiled to him as he walked off. Mark cleared his
throat as I looked to him, "Yes Mr.Calloway something you wanted to talk to me
about?" He sat down and looked to me with his emerald green orbs. "I wanted to
apologize for my attitude and such towards you since you've started helping me
out..." I gasped a bit, "So you do have a soft side?" He rolled his eyes and
nodded a bit, "No need to be uptight, loosen up Mr.Calloway." I said. Mark
chuckled a bit, "Please call me Mark. Mr.Calloway makes me feel old." I nodded.
Mark leaned his hand out to me, I took it with mine gently and shook it. "How
about we start fresh and forget what happen from before?" he asked. I smiled to
him and nodded, "Sounds good to me. Your bike is ready for tonight. I will have
it at the ramp for your use." Mark nodded as I slowly got up and started to walk
off. "That's fine Jammer. I appreciate your hard work. I am sorry about you
hands being burnt by the engine. If you need anything or help, let me know." I
stopped in my tracks dead. I looked over my shoulder to him and nodded. "Thanks,
I will remember that." Mark got up and walked off in the opposite direction.
I walked over to the bike and made sure everything was set with it and got it to
the staging area, ready for him. Once I completed that task, I found myself a
corner with a case and seated myself upon it and closed my eyes and relaxed
before the show started and I would be needed once again. My hands were
bothering me, so they needed a small break and time for the meds to kick in and
help. I thought I was in the twilight zone, once I heard his highness being nice
to me. I think Vince threatened him after I did. I guess sometimes, some
attitudes need a kick in the ass to get going in the right direction.
Chapter 8
I was startled awake by Chris Jericho yelling at me. I lifted my hands up and
rubbed my eyes with the back of my gloves and looked around confused. "There you
are Jammer. Don't you know what time it is?" I shook my head as I yawned a bit.
"It's time for my High Light Reel and the set isn't ready yet. I put you in
charge of that tonight didn't I?" Chris asked disguised. I scrambled to my feet
and sighed, "Sorry Chris I didn't mean to fall asleep. I will get to it right
now." He shook his head, "Don't worry it's set up in the ring. Just need the
monitor set up for the Tron." I nodded as I grabbed my hat off the box and ran
off.
I walked down the ramp to the ringside area as I helped Andy hook up the tron
for Jericho's High Light Reel. We finished as I slid out of the ring and
scampered over to the ring side table and crouched down. I needed to hand
Jericho and whoever his guest was mics and things like that. Lillian handed me
two mics as I waited for Jericho to make his way down to the ring. His entrance
video started as I waited by the ring.
CJ made his way down to the ring and appraised the fans, like he always did. I
looked up as Jericho leaned over. I turned the mic on and handed it to him.
"Thanks lackey. About time you decided to do your job right." I just rolled my
eyes as he caught me doing it. "Did you just roll your eyes at me? The King of
the World?" I shook my head. He caught me I was probably dead now. He motioned
for me to stand up and get into the ring. Glen's pyro went off as I stood up.
Glen was his guest for the Reel. Glen got into the ring as I handed him a turned
on mic. I stood at ringside with my hands upon my hips looking at Jericho.
CJ looked to Glen and they got the High Light Reel under way. Jericho would
probably deal with me later. I crouched back down and waited until the segment
was over, so we could bring the staging material back to the trucks. Man I knew
Jericho could talk, but not this long. I was kind of bored, but entertained at
the same time. Then I felt Jericho's hand upon my shoulder as he grabbed me by
my shirt. "And what are you laughing at lackey?" he looked to me. I looked up to
him and shrugged. CJ yanked me to my feet as I climbed into the ring. "Well
lackey. What do you find funny about the King of the World?" He moved the mic in
front of me as Glen looked to me through his mask. I grabbed the mic and spoke,
"What I find funny about the King of the World is what an ugly excuse you are
for a champion." I tossed the mic back to him.
CJ didn't take the comment lightly as he lifted the mic up to speak, "At least I
am not a washed up nobody, that is now an official lackey of the WWE."
I crossed my arms over my chest as I removed my gloves and hat and tossed them
over the ropes to the mats at ringside. I wasn't going to take his crap. Glen
just stood there as he handed me his mic. I nodded as I grabbed it, "I can kick
your ass Jericho, from one end to the other of you so called universe. Just name
the time and day, I will be there to put you in your place." Jericho lifted a
brow, "Is that so? Well I didn't know you were available. I know how busy a
street corner hoe can be." I growled as I dropped the mic to the floor. "Oh? Did
I ruffle up some feathers? Well at least I didn't sleep with everybody to get a
job as a wrestler and then quit." Glen stepped towards Jericho as I motioned for
him to back off. "Hold on Kane..." I looked to him, "You know damn well what
happen Jericho.. I was taken out on injury and couldn't return to the ring. I
know I can kick your ass, cause I've done it once and I sure in HELL can do it
again. So bring it on so called King of the World." I dropped the mic to the
floor of the ring and stood there. Jericho didn't say anything.
I climbed out of the ring and shook my head at him. He lifted the mic up and
walked over and leaned over the ropes as he spoke, "At least you know your
place.. Which is with the help and being my lackey... You washed up wannabe.."
That was it. I didn't let him finish his sentence. I grabbed his ankles and
slipped them out from underneath him. He fell on his back as I twisted his legs
up and wrapped my legs around them. I fell backwards and pulled down on his
twisted legs, placing pressure upon his back. Glen jumped out of the ring as
Jericho struggled against me. I wouldn't let go. I was like a rabid Rottie on a
steak.
Glen tried pulling me off as refs came running down to lend a hand. I finally
let go as I got to my feet. I grabbed my gloves and hat as the refs stood
between me and the ring. Jericho sat up as he was bitching and yelling at me
about the move. Medics were called down to check his knees. I smirked as I
turned around and walked backstage. Glen followed some time later. The fans were
in a frenzy over the turn of events.
I entered backstage as Vince came walking up to me. I sighed and stood there as
he approached me, "What the hell was all that about out there?" he asked. He was
red in the face a bit as I looked to him. "Nothing at all sir. Asked Jericho. He
started it and I just finished it. Just tell him next time he wants help, ask
someone else. I am sick and tired of his bullshit. I just gave him a piece of
what I can really do." I walked off as Glen walked over and looked to Vince.
"Why didn't you do anything to stop her?" Glen removed his mask and took a sip
of water from the bottle of water he had in his hand. "I watched her cause she
knew what she was doing Vince. I just go involved once things got out of hand.
Chris got what was coming to him, which was a fair warning in my opinion to keep
his comments and people's lives out of his High Light Reel." With that said Glen
walked off to change.
I loaded up Mark's bike into the truck and packed up the tools as I sighed and
could hear Jericho running his mouth from somewhere over in the trainer's room.
I had pulled muscles in both of his knees. He would hurt for a few days but he
would be fine.
Chapter 9
I had Jenco helped me lift up the trailer door and lock it up for transporting
Taker's bikes to the next location he would be using them at. I locked up the
truck as I caught Glen walking over with my back pack in his hand, out of the
corner of my eye. I turned around as he came walking over and stopped in his
tracks. I grabbed a nearby small white towel and wiped my sweating face off.
Glen smiled to me as I smiled back. "Hey Glen. Something I can do for you?" I
asked. He didn't answer right away. He was wearing a white t-shirt, that was
tight enough so you could see his musclar shoulder, chest and upper arms. Blue
jeans that were also tight and black work boots. His hair was tied back loosely,
but neat. The way he dressed sometimes, I swear it was a sin.
"Maybe you can help me with something.." I looked to him with curiousity. "I
wanted to know if you could join me for dinner?" I felt my heart skip a beat for
a moment as I almost choked on my water I was drinking. I looked to him as I got
my composure back, "Sure I will.." I looked down at myself, "Just let me freshen
up a bit before we go in the ladies room." He nodded as I walked off, I grabbed
my back pack out of his hand and walked over to the nearby ladies room and
freshened up a bit and changed my shirt. I had a spare in my bag. I washed my
face and combed my hair a bit. I placed my gloves and hat into my bag and zipped
it up. I walked out as Glen leaned his arm out to me. I intertwined my left arm
with his and we walked out of the arena for some dinner.
We ended up at a casual eating place. It was a good time. I yawned as Glen and I
walked off the elevator to our hotel rooms. Yes we were arm in arm of course. We
stopped in front of my hotel room door as I unlocked it and opened the door as I
walked into the room. I turned and looked to him, "Would you like to come in for
a few minutes?" Glen shook his head, "I would but I gotta get up early for a
meeting with Vince tomorrow. I had a good time tonight. It was nice to have a
meal and just talk." I nodded and smiled to him, "I will agree. I enjoyed myself
very much. Thank you Glen for tonight." I took a few steps forward and wrapped
my arms around his waist for a hug. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around
me, "It was my pleasure Jamica. I hope we can do this again real soon." I
stepped back as he released me from the hug. "How about tomorrow night?" Glen
smiled as he nodded. "Sounds good. I will meet you here after the event tomorrow
night." I nodded. "Sounds good. At least I can dress better and smell better."
He chuckled very lightly. "You were fine tonight. I like a lady who isn't afraid
to be herself around me." I blushed a bit, "Same goes for you Glen. I like a
gentleman who acts like themselves, and not someone who they are not." He nodded
as he leaned down and kissed my lips gently. I pressed my lips against his. I
swear I thought the kiss lasted forever. Glen pulled back and couldn't stop
smiling. "I will see you tomorrow night."
I couldn't speak, he left me speechless with his kiss. I nodded as he walked off
to his hotel room, which was a door down from mine.
I stepped into my room and closed the door. I leaned against it and placed a few
fingers upon my lips. I could still taste him upon my lips as they were still
very hot from the kiss. I sighed deeply as I walked into my room and turned on a
few lights. I placed my back pack upon my bed and heard my cell phone beep. I
ignored it as I walked into the bathroom and started to run me a nice hot bath.
I needed one after tonight. I walked back out of the bathroom and took off my
work boots as I heard my phone again. I grumbled as I rummaged gently through my
back pack for my phone. I found it and opened it and got to my voice mail. I
listened to it as I got ready for my bath.
I shook my head as I heard the message. "Hello Jamica. I see you have found
yourself a new job. I thought I would visit you and see how your doing. I always
wanted to seek you out, but your work made it easier for me to find you...." I
dropped my cell phone to the floor as I recognized the voice that was speaking
the message. I erased it and tossed my phone across the room. I stood up and
walked into the bathroom as I turned the water off. I sighed deeply as I leaned
against the door frame of the bathroom door. "He's found me. I thought I hid
good enough and he still did... Now what am I going to do... If he finds me
again, I'll put the company and..." I couldn't bare but feel the tears starting
to fill my eyes. They threaten to fall but I didn't let them. "If he finds me, I
will deal with him. Until then I am not going to run off scared or hide
anymore.. He wants me, he's gonna have a fight to win first." I nodded as I
heard a knock on my door.
I walked over to it and looked through the peep hole. I sighed as I saw it was
Shane McMahon, Vince's son on the other side. I unlocked the door and opened it.
I looked to him, "Hey Jamica. I thought I heard you in here. I heard some
banging everything alright?" he asked. I nodded as I smiled to him, "Yes
everything is fine Shane. Thanks for asking. I just threw my cell phone, stupid
thing wouldn't work like it should." He chuckled a but, "Alright. I was just
making sure, if you need anything don't hesitate to come looking for me. I am
right next door." I nodded as he walked away. I closed the door and sighed as I
leaned against it once again.
"If you could change my past Shane that would be great.." I grumbled. I got to
my feet once again and made my way into the bathroom. I stripped out of my
clothes and piled them upon the floor. I slowly unwrapped my hands as I slowly
climbed into the tub. The relaxing smells of Lilacs and Cinnamon filled the air.
I sighed as I sat down and leaned back gently and let the hot water sooth my
sore body and the scents infest my nostrils and help me clear my mind and relax.
I will deal with the situation at hand at my pace. He wouldn't find me right
away, it's not like he was right in the same hotel or something. I laid in the
tub and stared at the white tile that surrounded the tub. My mind ran wild of my
past. A small chill ran up my spine as it finally hit me. He was haunting me
like the last few times, this time he was serious.
I shook myself from those thoughts as I finished up my bath and let the water
down as I dried off and got ready for bed. I slipped on a pair of dark blue Nike
shorts and my New York Mets Baseball jersey and climbed into bed and sighed as I
settled down for some sleep. Some time later, I finally fell asleep.
Chapter 10
I jumped out of a sound sleep to a pounding on my hotel door. I jumped out of
bed and stumbled through the dark. I tripped over my boots and sighed as I got
up and growled, "This better be important or your dead..." I yelled to the
person on the other side of the door, as I opened it. I went from pissed off to
shock, I thought it would of been Glen. I was really wrong. "Well well well...
It is true, you are staying in this hotel." A low toned voice sounded from the
man standing in front of Jamica.
I backed away as I tried to close the door, but he had gotten his foot in the
door and was trying to force his way in. "Get out Jackle... I don't want you and
never will.. Get a LIFE!" I yelled as I tried with all my might to shut the door
on him. "Aww come on Jamica.. I know you want me, just like you use too. What
happen.. Those wrestlers brain wash you or what..." I growled as I spoke through
gritted teeth. "I want nothing to do with you Jackle. Why don't you just go away
and leave me alone. Haven't you done enough damage as is?" "I have never done
enough damage Jamica, you know just as well as anybody. I know you want me, why
do you think I returned." I couldn't help but laugh. "You returned to be a royal
pain in the ass once again Jackle. So why don't you save yourself another jail
time and get away before you end up hurt this time and not me." I heard him
laughing as he tried to slide himself between the door and doorframe.
He finally got in as I tumbled backwards and quickly got to my feet. He stood in
the doorway taking up practically the whole thing. "So why haven't you called me
Jamica? Been busy fucking around with those wrestlers?" I growled as I got to my
feet, I wasn't going to show this man my fear. "None of your business Jackle.
Been making a life for myself, unlike yourself. You're the one doing the fucking
around. Your the one who ended my wrestling career. You fuck mook or did the
drugs fry your brain so much that you forgot the accident.. Well that is what
you call it anyways.." He smirked as he walked into the room.
Jackle was a stupid idiot. He reeked of booze and he was high on something,
probably cocaine or heroine. He was 6'1 in height, probably weighed around 200
lbs now, well I can't tell in the dark. He was muscular, but he was slowly
loosing that cause of his drug addiction. He was dressed in dirty, baggy torn up
blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a warn black leather jacket, with a tear here
and there in it.
He swayed as he stood there with this shit eatin' grin on his face. I rolled my
eyes as I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest. "Your high aren't you
Jackle?" He smirked, "Why do you care.." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair
gently. "What do you want Jackle? I gotta get some sleep. I got work in the
morning."
Jackle lifted a brow and smirked again, "You work? What fucking the wrestlers
every night like you always do..." I growled and snorted to his commnet, "No
fuck nuck.. I do bike repair and load and unload trucks of equipment and do
other various jobs.. What do you do? Take up space on the drug circuit, like
always." Jackle took a few steps forward as he removed his jacket and tossed it
to the floor.
"Nope, I've been looking for you. I want you back Jamica. Please.. I am nothing
without you in my life.." His words pierced my ears like needle getting jammed
into them. I cringed as chills ran down my spine. The door closed behind him as
he let it go. "No way Jackle. We are through just like I told you many times.
You just don't get it. I have a life now and I am involved with someone, like
it's any of your business." He took a few steps more towards me. He was towering
over me. I backed away a bit and fell back onto the bed by mistake. "Well if I
can't have you in my life, then I can at least get a piece of ass before I
disappear once again. Leave you a little something something to.. remember me
by.." He leaned down trying to place himself upon me. I placed my hands and feet
up as I pushed him away. "Not in this life time and never a chance in hell, that
you would be getting a piece from me. HELL NO!" He stumbled backwards as he
started breathing heavily through his nose. "Oh you know I like it rough don't
you Jamica.. Come on live a little.." He grabbed my wrists and pressed my hands
over my head as he strandled me. I fought every step of the way. He placed both
my wrists into one of his hands as he ran his other hand down and ripped off my
shorts. He zipped down his fly as he released his aching erection from the
confinments of his jeans.
I almost lost my cookies at the sight of him. I screamed at the top of my lungs
for him to let me go. He was trying to insert himself into me as I struggled and
wiggled under him. I finally got a hand free as I heard a heavy pounding on my
door. "Jamica you alright?" a voice sounded through the door. I punched Jackle
square in the face as he toppled backwards. I jumped up from the bed and leaped
over him and grabbed the door knob with my left hand. Jackle reached up and
grabbed my ankle as he sank his teeth into my right ankle. I yelled as I kicked
him with my left foot. He finally let go as I felt the blood dripping down my
ankle. I opened the door as Glen, Shane and Mark came charging into the room as
Jackle got to his feet and dove for me and knocked me into the door as it almost
closed on Glen.
Jackle landed on top of me as he punched me a couple of times in the face. All
three men jumped at him and Mark got him in a head lock as Shane placed him in a
figure four lock. Only thing I could hear was Jackle yelling to be let go. I
felt sick to my stomach as I felt two large hands picking me up gently and
carrying me out of the room. I looked up through blood dripping down my face to
Glen carrying me out of the room. I saw a couple of Hotel security guards go
running by as Glen carried me into his room.
Glen closed his door and placed me upon his bed. "Jamica. You alright?" He asked
as he knelt down in front of me. He placed a cloth upon the cut on my forehead.
I nodded and sighed, "Yes I am Glen. Thanks." He nodded as he held the cloth to
my forehead.
I leaned against him as he wrapped an arm around me. "Just hold me Glen,
please." He rubbed my back as he held me. "Sure thing Jamica. I won't let you go
if you don't want me too." I shook my head as I answered him, "Please don't
Glen.. Don't let me go."
Chapter 11
I slowly fell asleep in Glen's arms as he sighed and laid me back into his hotel
bed. The trainer had come in and patched up the cut on my head and cleaned up a
few scratches as well. Jackle was taken away by the cops, once they arrived to
the hotel. Glen walked out of his hotel room as the trainer left. Mark and Shane
came walking down. Shane was in just a pair of sweat pants, Mark in a pair of
black nike Shorts and a blank wife beater. "How's Jammer Glen?" Mark asked. He
nodded. "She'll be fine. She's sleeping now." Mark and Shane both nodded in
unison. "Good to hear she's alright. I thought I heard something, but I thought
I was dreaming until I heard her scream." Shane added. Mark yawned and rubbed
the back of his neck. "That's what woke me up. I heard rumbling around as well."
Glen nodded. "I heard Shane rumbling around in his room, that's what got my
attention." Glen said as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Who was that guy anyways?" Mark asked with curiousity. Glen and Shane both
shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine Mark. I don't know." Glenn told him as
Shane excuse himself to head back to bed. Mark laid a hand upon Glen's shoulder.
"Maybe answers will come in the morning. Don't worry about it now. Go get some
sleep. Jamica is fine. She's safe with you around." Glen looked to him, this was
a side of Mark he liked to see more often, a caring friend. Mark patted his
shoulder and placed his hand back down at his side, "If you need anything, I'll
be in my room." Glen nodded as he walked back into his hotel room and closed the
door silently. Mark walked back to his and headed back to bed. Glen slowly
walked across the floor and sprawled himself out on the couch and laid there
staring up at the ceiling, listening to Jamica's breathing as she slept. Soon
after, he had finally fallen to sleep himself.
The next day found me at work, bright and early. We had to set up for the
Pay-Per-View. It was a month or so before Wrestle Mania. I was busy unloading
trucks of the cases and what not, as the other ring crew unloaded the cases and
started to set up. I stopped for a quick water break as I felt a hand upon my
shoulder. I nearly jumped out of my skin. "Sorry Jammer, I didn't mean to
startle you like that." I sighed as I turned around. It was Mark. "It's alright
Mark, for a big man you sure are like a mouse." He chuckled lightly, "I wanted
to tell you I was going to use the red tanked bike tonight. I thought I would
let you know before you unloaded the other one." I nodded. "Thanks for letting
me know. I haven't gotten to it yet, but thanks before I did." He nodded as he
ran his thumb along the cut on my forehead from last night. "How yah feelin'?"
"Alright, kind of tired, but alright. Oh I almost forgot... " I stood up on my
tip toes and kissed his forehead. "Thanks for last night Mark. I almost forgot
to tell you that. I appreciate it. I will remember not to tick you off, you
might put me in a head lock." He stood back up to his full height and nodded.
"No problem Jamica. Just next time, check the door before opening it."
I nodded, "I usually do, but the way it sounded I thought it was Glen. I was
disoriented that I didn't think about it until it was too late."
Jenco came walking from behind the curtain and motioned for me he needed help. I
nodded as I waved to him. "I hate to cut this short, but I got to get back to
work. Umm if you see Shane and or Glen. Send them my way. I got to thank Shane
and I got to talk to Glen about something." Mark nodded, "Sure. I will see you
later Jamica." I nodded as I ran off to get back to work.
I finally finished and just sat down just to relax a moment before I had to get
to Mark's bike and get that set up, then the superstars would be coming in and
then that work would begin. It was just a never ending stream of work for me. I
sat upon a curtain case as I leaned my back against the wall behind me and just
closed my eyes as I heard, "Hey Jammer. Sleeping on the job again.." My eyes
whipped open as I looked to Shane and Glen walking towards me. I sighed as I
shook my head, "No I just sat down for a moment to catch my breath, then back to
work, as always." Shane smiled as he walked up to me with Glen behind me. "How
you feeling today Jamica?" Shane asked. I nodded as I took a sip of my water,
"Alright, a bit tired but alright.... Oh yea.." I leaned forward and kissed
Shane's forehead. "Thanks for last night Shane. I forgot to tell you that last
night. I thanked Mark earlier as well." Shane turned a bit red as he smiled to
me, "It was no problem Jamica. Glad to of been some help. Yes we both know, we
ran into him on our way out here." Glen nodded as he smiled to me. I couldn't
help but smile back to him.
Shane saw the googley eyes of Glen looking to me. He cleared his throat as Glen
shook his head out of his thoughts and looked to him. "I got to get going
anyways. Dad needs some help with a few things before the PPV starts. I will see
the two of you later." Shane walked off as Glen stepped forward and I slid over
to give him some space to sit down. I placed my hand upon his left knee as I
looked up to him. "Thanks for last night. I really appreciate it." Glen smiled
and nodded to me, "It's alright no need to thank me. I was happy to have been
there for you. I am just happy your all right and safe that's all." I nodded as
I finished my bottle of water and tossed my empty bottle into a nearby trash
can. Glen lifted a brow as I threw my arms into the air. "It's good." He laughed
as I looked to him. "Usually I don't get it in from that far away. That is one
reason why I never played basketball." Glen was still laughing as I spoke. I
elbowed him to make him stop. He looked to me and sighed. "Sorry I couldn't help
but laugh." I rolled my eyes, "I see that."
"Are we still up for dinner tonight after the Pay-Per-View?" he asked. I nodded
as he placed his hand over mine, which was still on his knee. "Of course we are
still up for dinner. Why wouldn't I be?" Glen just shrugged. "Because of what
happen last night.." I shook my head, "I wouldn't let nothing break off our
dinner date Glen. I want to go out with you, I need the time out." Glen looked
to me and nodded as the smile never left his face. He stood to his feet and
leaned down and captured my lips with his in a soft but passionate kiss. A
breath got caught in my throat. He had caught me off guard. Glen slipped his
tongue out and slowly started to trace her lips with the tip.
Jamica slowly opened her mouth granting him access. Their tongues intertwined
with one anothers. Glen explored her mouth very slowly, taking in everything,
every little thing.
They got so caught up in their kiss that they didn't realize Mark was standing
there with his arms over his chest and tapping his foot impatiently. We had put
everything around us out of our minds. They both wanted the kiss to last
forever, but Jamica jumped as Mark cleared his throat. Jamica opened her eyes
and slowly pulled back from the kiss and looked to Mark. "Oh geez Mark, sorry I
didn't see you standing there..." Glen leaned back up and smiled to her. "Sorry
I didn't mean to break up the kissing party Jamica, but you going to get the
bike out of the truck, so I can look it over to make sure it doesn't need repair
or not for tonight." I nodded as I got to my feet. My legs felt like rubber,
Glen had left me wanting more of him, but I put it in the back of my mind. Glen
walked off as I walked the opposite direction with Mark in tow to get his bike
out of the truck for the show.
Chapter 12
I unloaded Mark's bike and leaned it upon it's kick stand as Mark inspected it,
as he usually did, before the fans and other superstars arrived, then I would be
busy after that. Mark crouched down and looked to his engine and I watched him
with content. I didn't want him to find anything majorly wrong, then I would
have to repair it and that would take time off other things I had to get done. A
low growl from Mark shook me from my thoughts.
"Were you the one who put this bike back last Jamica?" I looked to him and shook
my head. "No, this it the first time I have handled this bike since getting the
position." Mark stood up to his feet and wiped his hands upon a nearby rag. "Why
do you ask?" Mark sighed and tossed the rag upon the tool box, "I ask because
the battery cable is toast. Plus the oil plug is dented and a few other things
are ruin on this side of the bike. It looks like someone ran into it or dropped
it on the engine, but never told me about it." I sighed as I walked over and
knelt down to inspect the damage. I stood up and ran a hand through my hair.
"You sure you wanna use this bike tonight Mark?" I looked to him. He gave me an
odd look, "Yes I do. Why do you ask?" "The damage is pretty bad. I will have to
call a nearby part stores and see if they have some of the parts in stock and
get them here for the repairs. I know some of them, we don't have in stock on
the truck."
I saw Mark's face turn from question to red in 1.0 seconds. "You better have
this bike repaired Jamica. I am COUNTING on YOU! You better have this repaired
and ready for me to ride. Or there will be HELL TO PAY" I sighed as Mark stormed
off. I knew tonight wouldn't go smooth at all. I grabbed a phone book from one
of the offices nearby in the arena and made a list of numbers of part stores in
the area to call. I made a list of what needed to be repaired and went to the
truck to see what we had and what I needed to order. I was in the truck looking
through a few bins and taking out the parts as I heard a clearing of a throat
outside of the door.
"Hold on. I will be right with you..." I said as I heaved a bin back up on the
rack and looked to whoever wanted my attention. It was a police officer. My
heart skipped a beat, I knew it wasn't good news at all. I looked to the officer
as he removed his hat. "Can I help you officer?" I asked. He nodded as I walked
over and sat down on the edge of the trailer. "Are you Jamica Stone?" I nodded.
"I am Officer John Kienko. I arrested a gentleman named Jackle Hainer last
night..." I nodded as I looked to him concerned. "Yes what about Mr. Jackle..."
"I thought I would take the time and come to you and let you know... He was
released from jail this morning on bail. A fellow officer of mine told me this
just a few minutes ago. I was on duty and saw you and decided I thought you
needed to know..." My heart leapted into my throat, I probably went white as a
ghost as well in front of the officer.
"How.. or I should say Who bailed him out?" The officer pulled out his little
note pad and opened it and looked at it for a moment and closed it and placed it
back upon his utility belt and looked to me. "A gentleman named Kendle Wales..."
Chills went down my spine at the name he just mentioned. I nodded as the officer
sighed. "I'm sorry to have distrubed you with this news Ms.Stone while you were
working.." I shook my head, "No it's alright Officer Kienko. I appreciate you
coming over to tell me. Your on duty tonight here at the arena?" He nodded.
"Good, because I have a sneaky feeling that we haven't heard the last of Jackle
and Wales.." The officer looked at me like I had two heads. I shook my head, "If
I need you I will send for you..." The officer nodded. "Yes please do. Have a
good evening Ms.Stone." The officer placed his hat back upon his head and walked
away. I placed the parts upon the truck's floor and placed my head in hands and
sighed deeply. 'I am not going to let him get to me. He will get his, if he
tries anything and he won't do it here. Too many witnesses.' I thought to
myself.
I shook my head of the thoughts of anything to deal with Jackel. I had a bike to
repair before Taker had my head on a platter. I jumped out of the truck and
grabbed the parts I had in stock and grabbed my cell phone and started dialing
numbers to the part stores to see what I can come up with. I sighed as I sat
down to start in on the parts I had. I got a hold of a store that had everything
I needed in stock. They were going to deliver it as soon as they could. I put my
cell phone away, opened up the tool box and got down to business.
Chapter 13
I just finished up a few repairs when Scott came jogging around a corner and
stopped near me. "Jammer, there is a delivery guy here from Bomber's Bike
Shop.." he finally got out on his last breath of air. I nodded to him, "Good.
Send him back here would you please Scott, he has my bike parts I need for
Taker's bike." He nodded as he jogged off. I got to my feet and wiped my hands
of oil as the delivery man came walking along with Scott. Scott was helping him
carry the boxes, which were in plenty. I shook my head as I told them to put the
boxes on the end of the trailer. They did as told. I walked over and paid the
delivery man for the parts and a tip for him getting here so quickly.
He walked off as I grabbed a nearby box cutter and started opening a few boxes
and found what I needed for the repairs now. The other boxes were other parts I
was restocking.
Scott looked to me, "What is all this stuff?" I placed the parts I would need on
the end of the trailer as I tossed the empty boxes near a garbage can. "Parts
for Taker's bikes. Someone must of dropped the bike or something cause there is
alot of damage I need to repair before tonight. I didn't have all the parts, so
I needed to order them and I did some restocking at the same time." Scott nodded
as he patted my shoulder, "You were the one to always be more organized. I don't
know how you do it Jammer." I shrugged as I walked over to the bike and placed
the parts down. I knelt down and started in on the repairs once again. "It's a
gift I guess Scott. I really don't know." Scott shrugged and walked off, he had
plenty of work to do.
It was close to show time as I saw the backstage area start to get busier than
ever. I sat back near the truck finishing up the repairs. I was started to get
called upon for other things that the other superstars needed. I finished up and
cleaned up the mess and placed the tools on the end of the trailer behind the
boxes I needed to put away on down time. I took a clean cloth and wiped down the
bike, to make sure everything was ready for Taker's ride. I cleaned up a bit and
ran off to do the rest of my work.
I was going non-stop. My god I have never been so busy in my life. Every time I
ended a task, a new one was thrown at me. From fetching this to fetching that to
helping with warm-ups and fetching supplies from the trucks for the trainers. I
was turned everywhere but loose. Finally I was finished. The show had began and
I had some down time, before I had to push Mark's bike up to the entrance to the
staging. I sighed as I headed back to the truck to put things away from the
order that had come earlier.
I had just tossed the last box into the pile out of the truck as a voice
sounded, "Hey watch where your tossing that.." I turned around and chuckled as
Jeff Hardy had caught the box in his hands. I walked to the end of the truck and
jumped off as Jeff tossed the box into the pile and walked over. "Sorry Jeff I
didn't see you there. My bad.." He chuckled a bit and shook his head. "No harm
done Jammer. How are things going over here in your corner?" I shrugged and
sighed as I removed my hat and ran a hand through my hair. "How about non-stop..
I haven't had a break since I was here since earlier this morning." "You have my
sympathies." Jeff mentioned sarcastically. "Oh quiet Rainbow Bright.. What
brings you to this side of the arena anyways..." I asked as I climbed back into
the truck and finished cleaning up. Jeff walked over to the end of the trailer
and leaned against it as he started talking.
"Nothing really. I haven't seen you in awhile, just thought I would see where
you been and see how you were.." I looked to him as I finished up and walked
over and sat down, letting my legs dangle over the end of the trailer. I laid a
hand upon his shoulder, "Sorry I haven't been down to the locker room to see you
Jeff.
Been absolutley crazy since Vince gave me more duties to cover." Jeff nodded,
"Oh Vince stacked the plate with you again huh?" I nodded. "What does he have
you doing now.." "I take care of Taker's bikes and make sure they are working
before each show he uses them for." Jeff looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you
kiddin' me?" I shook my head, "No I ain't. I sometimes wish I was.." Jeff laid a
hand upon mine that was still on his shoulder. "You now offically have my
sympathies. Nobody has never survived this long working with Taker. Everybody is
usually too scared to go near nobody else or has quit. You are a survivor
Jammer." I chuckled, "I handled him better than you think Jeff. He's not that
hard to handle. Trust me.." Jeff nodded as he continued our conversation.
"Jammer get Taker's bike to the entrance way. He's up next after this match."
Jenco hollered to me. I waved my hand at him as I was listening to Jeff talk
about his love life. I jumped down off the trailer as I gave him some advice
about it. "Well Jeff I hate to cut you short, but work calls as usual." He
nodded as we hugged one another. "Thanks Jamica for listening. I will take your
advice. I will see you later?" He looked to me as he asked, I looked to him,
"Maybe.. I got plans after the show and work tonight. Maybe later on you can
stop by my room and we can play cards or something." He nodded, "Sounds like a
plan I will see you later then." I nodded as he walked off. I put the kick stand
up on the bike and pushed it off towards the entrance way. The bike weighed I
swear more than the other ones. But I got it there.
I placed the kick stand down and leaned the bike against it as Taker came
walking over in blue jeans, a black wife beater type wrestling shirt under one
of his cut Big Evil t-shirts draped over him. I stepped back as he sat down on
the bike. He looked to me as I placed my OCC Choppers cap on backwards. "Did you
fix it?" he asked. I nodded and lifted a brow, "Have I ever let you down Taker?
Try it and see.." I placed my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers as he
nodded and turned the key and started the bike up. It purred like a kitten. He
slid his sunglasses down and nodded with a thumbs up. I released the breath I
was holding when he started the bike.
No I didn't have doubts in my ability to repair the bike, just sometimes things
can go wrong, but not this time. Taker took off as his theme music hit the
arena's speakers. The crowd went nuts, only thing I heard was him revving the
engine a few times and the crowd just exploding. I nodded as I walked off to
find myself something to eat and a place to relax before the bike came back and
I had to load the truck up once again.
Chapter 14
Glen poked his head out of his locker room as he heard Mark yelling as he walked
down the hallway. Glen stepped out as Mark walked up to him. Mark turned around
cause he was walking backwards and ran into Glen. Glen looked to him as Mark
sighed, "Get out of my way Glen.." "What's wrong now Mark?" Mark ran a hand
through his hair as he looked to Glen. "Nothing. Why should I tell you.."
"Because you are never angry unless something didn't go your way or something is
wrong.."
Mark rolled his eyes, "I can't find Jamica, plus Sara found her way into the
backstage area and is giving me shit." Glen sighed as he shook his head and then
looked to Mark oddly. "Wait.. Hold on.. You said you can't find Jamica?" Mark
nodded, "Yea that's what I said. Usually she is around to put my bike away.
Maybe she went off somewhere for a quick break." Glen nodded as he lifted his
left hand up and rubbed his goatee in thought. "No that doesn't sound like
Jamica. Usually she is around when she knows work needs to be done." Mark
shrugged. "I don't know man.. One minute she's around, next she's gone.." Glen
looked to Mark, "When did you see her last?"
Mark stood there thinking for a moment and then spoke, "The last time I saw her,
she was standing near by to make sure my bike started up after her repairs. Then
I went out for my match. Before that I never saw her until I was up near the
ramp ready to head out to the ring." Glen nodded as he started to think of what
could of happen. "Alright thanks Mark. I better go look for her. She might of
fallen asleep in a corner somewhere.." Mark nodded, "If you find her tell her my
bike is ready for lock up." Glen smiled a bit as he nodded and walked off.
Glen walked down to where the ring crew was hanging around for a bit chatting
amongst themselves. Glen walked over and placed a hand upon Scott's shoulder.
Scott turned around and looked up to Glen, "Hey Glen.. Umm something wrong?"
Glen nodded, "Yea Jammer seems to be missing.. Have any of you seen her?" Scott
looked to him like he was crazy, "Jammer... Missing?..That doesn't sound like
her.." "I know it doesn't. Taker was looking for her earlier, but he couldn't
find her." Scott scratched his head as he shrugged, "Maybe she is sleeping in a
corner somewhere..." "That is what me and Mark were both thinking.. If any of
you see her, tell her Mark and I are looking for her." Scott and the rest of the
crew nodded their heads as Glen walked off, still on his hunt down for Jamica.
Glen looked for about an hour for Jamica. No sign of her anywhere. He sighed as
he walked back to his locker room and grabbed his cell phone and dialed Jamica's
number. The phone rang and rang, he knew this was odd of Jamica not to answer
her cell phone and end up missing from work. He turned his cell phone off and
tossed it into his gym bag and zipped it up. He grabbed his gear and walked out
of his locker room and headed to the hotel, maybe Jamica would be there getting
ready to go out to dinner with him.
Glen arrived at the hotel and headed up to his room. He opened his door and
dropped his bags to the floor as the door closed behind him. The room was dark,
he reached for a light switch and flicked it up. The lights came on illuminating
the room with a soft light. There laying on his bed was a beaten up Jamica. She
was laying on her side, curled up. Glen's jaw dropped to the floor. He ran over
to the bed and knelt down as he didn't know where to touch her. She was bruised
everywhere, cuts, scrapes. Her chest was rising and falling with each breath,
thank god.
Glen laid the side of his left index finger and rubbed her cheek where it wasn't
bruised. "Jamica, wake up, it's me Glen." his voice was suttle but soft. I
slowly stirred as I winced in pain. I stopped moving as I slowly opened my left
eye, the right was swollen shut. I jumped up and gripped my right arm around
Glen's neck as I clung onto him, never wanting to let go. My body was shaking as
he wrapped his arms around me. "Don't... let him hurt me.. Please.." she sobbed
out. Glen felt his heart sank at the sight and to her voice. "I will not let
nobody hurt you, no more Jamica.... " He rubbed her back very gently as he held
her. She sobbed until her body finally stopped shaking.
Chapter 15
I finally got myself together as I released my vice like grip from Glen. I
slowly sat back upon the bed as Glen placed his hands upon my knees and looked
to me. "What happen Jamica?" He hesitated to ask, but he needed to know. I
swallowed hard as I looked into Glen's eyes and started to speak softly but
audible. "Jackle... Jackle was at the arena.. He.. got into the back somehow...
Kidnapped me..... He tried to kill me..." My words just turned into more sobs.
Glen wrapped his arms around me gently and comforted me. I was a mess. Blood
dripped down my face from a huge cut upon my forehead just above my right
swollen eye. My left forearm, from the elbow down was nothing but black and blue
in color and scraped up pretty bad. My jeans were tattered and torn along with
my t-shirt. I had dirt stains along with grass upon my shirt and jeans.
"It's alright Jamica. Your safe now, nothing will not happen to you. I promise
nothing will. Now let's get you to the hospital to get looked at alright." Glen
looked me in the eye as he spoke. I sniffed back a few tears and finally calmed
down as he wiped away a few lingering tears. I nodded as he grabbed his gym bag
and unzipped it and grabbed his cell phone. He was going to call Mark and Scott
to tell them he had found Jamica, once they got in a cab to go to the hospital
to get her checked out.
Glen slowly lifted me into his arms, once he stuffed his cell phone into his
back pocket and had called for a cab. He slowly carried me down to the lobby.
The cab was just pulling up as he exited the hotel. Glen climbed into the cab
and told the cab driver where to go. He held me in his arms the whole way to the
hospital, until the doctors and nurses took me into the back to get looked at
and taken care of.
Some time later a nurse came walking into the room. I sighed gently as I sat
there with a cast upon my left form arm. Lovely, if it wasn't one thing, it's
another. I looked up as she removed the IV from my arm. "The doctor will be in a
few minutes to give you your take home instructions." I nodded, "Thanks." The
nurse nodded as she opened the door and Glen stood in the doorway. He walked in
as the nurse walked out and closed the door behind her.
I smiled gently to him as he walked over to me and slowly and gently wrapped his
arms around me and hugged me. I wrapped my right arm around his neck and sighed
deeply as he kissed my neck gently.
"It's alright Glen. I'm fine, just a bit sore, but I'm fine. Thanks for
everything." Glen released his hug and looked to me, "It's alright. I am happy
to see you're alright that's all. You had us all scared Jamica." I sighed as I
nodded a bit and looked down to the floor. "I know, I'm sorry but I didn't
expect this to happen..." Glen shook his head and kissed my forehead gently,
"It's alright, no need for sorries or nothing. I called Mark and Scott, they
know your alright and safe with me. I couldn't believe how concerned Mark was.
He was going to come up here and sit with you, to give me a break." I looked to
Glen in shock, "Are we talking about the same Dead Man here?" Glen nodded as I
smiled gently. "I guess he does have a good side to himself, when he wants to
show it."
The doctor came walking in as he told me my discharge instructions and gave me
some meds to take and placed my left forearm in a sling for a few weeks. I was
released from the hospital. It felt good to be getting out of there. Glen and I
walked out as a large Silver Dodge Pick up pulled up in front of the hospital.
Glen jumped in front of me, when he didn't recognize the man inside the truck. I
looked around Glen and jumped back behind him, as I knew who it was. It was
Wales. What did he want with me now.
Wales climbed out of his truck and walked towards me and tried to grab me by my
t-shirt. I jumped away as he spoke, "There you are Jamica. Come on time to come
home now, Jackle is waiting for you as always." Glen growled as he grabbed Wales
by the back of the shirt and lifted him up off his feet and raised his voice,
"Back off before you end up hurt or regretting ever touching her ever AGAIN. Now
you take Jackle a little message for me.. Tell him, if I ever catch him even
near Jamica or anything to do with her, I will personally hunt him down and kick
his ass, from one end of the Earth to the other.. Trust me you don't want to
mess with FIRE.. You will get burned." Wales shook in Glen's grip as Glen tossed
him to the side as he snorted towards Wales upon the ground, slowly getting to
his feet.
Glen wrapped an arm around my shoulders as he flagged down a taxi and we headed
back to the hotel for some much needed sleep and relaxation. While on our way
back to the hotel Glen looked to me, "Who was that back there.. and what happen
tonight, if I might ask.." I just stared out the window, watching the scenery
fly by. I looked to him and started to talk, "That man was a Kendle Wales,
Jackle's side kick in crime or his lackey, well after I left that is...." Glen
looked to me lost. I sighed and shook my head, "It's a long story Glen. I will
explain everything once we are behind closed doors.. Please.." Glen looked to
the cab driver out of the corner of his eye and then back to me and nodded,
"Sure Jamica. We will order room service and you and I can talk.. How about
that?" I nodded as I slid myself over to Glen's side. He wrapped his arm around
me and held me close the rest of the ride back to the hotel.
Chapter 16
I sat down on the bed as Glen placed my bags upon the floor. There was no use in
arguing with him. "You are staying with me Jamica. No more arguments." I nodded
as I slowly untied my workboots and kicked them off to the floor. Glen sat down
in a chair and removed his boots as well and grabbed the phone and ordered room
service as I slowly walked into the bathroom to run a hot bath. It was going to
feel good to soak my bruised and battered body.
I knelt down very gently and rummaged through my bag for some sleep wear. I
grabbed a pair of sweat pants. I was looking for one of my t-shirts, but some of
my stuff was missing. Jackle probably took some things, who knows. I sighed as I
stood up and went through my back pack upon the bed. Glen just got off the phone
with room service as he walked into the bathroom, turned the tub water off and
walked back out. He placed his hands upon my shoulders gently and leaned down
and kissed the side of my neck gently. I sighed as I closed my eyes and giggled
a bit. His goatee was tickling my neck. "You missing something?" he asked as he
lifted his head up and looked to me. I looked over my shoulder to him and nodded
a bit, "Yes. Some of my clothes are missing... No big deal." Glen stood to his
full height and walked over to his bag and opened it and grabbed one of his
t-shirts and walked back over and handed it to me. "Here you can wear one of my
shirts." I grasped his shirt and looked to him, "Are you sure Glen?" He nodded,
"It's fine Jamica. I sleep shirtless anyways." I giggled softly as I grabbed the
rest of my clothes and walked into the bathroom. Glen sat down on the bed and
turned the TV on. "If you need anything or help just give a hollar." I nodded as
I walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
I placed my sleeping gear upon the sink top as I slowly got out of my dirty
clothes. It was difficult with my arm in a sling. I took the sling off and
climbed into the tub. I kept my casted arm out of the water, laid it upon the
side of the tub and let the hot water, sooth my sore, tired body. I sighed a bit
as I thought about how I was going to tell Glen all about my past and what
happen tonight with Jackle and Wales. I was hoping he wouldn't look at me
differently or anything. That is why I never really discussed it with anybody.
Only person who knew about anything of my past was Vince. That was because of my
application and such for work, other than that he would of never of known.
I finished up my bath and got out and dried off I got into my sweat pants and
was about to placed Glen's shirt on when I moved the wrong way. I yelled in pain
and hit my knees as I placed my hand upon my bruised shoulder. Glen jumped upon
hearing the yell. He quickly got to his feet and walked over to the bathroom
door and knocked on the door. Jamica looked to the door as Glen spoke, "Jamica..
You alright?" I just sighed a bit as I grabbed his shirt and answered him, "Yea
Glen. Just moved the wrong way that's all..." "Do you need any help?" he asked.
I hesitated and then realized I couldn't do this all on my own. "Yes please..
It's alright I am almost fully dressed." Glen slowly opened the bathroom door
and saw me kneeling on the floor. He walked over and helped me to my feet.
He held the shirt for me as I slipped into it. It was huge. It was like a
nightgown on me, down past my knees.
He helped me place my sling back on and told me to go relax on the bed, he would
clean up the bathroom. I wasn't going to argue and did as I was told. I climbed
upon the bed and propped a pillow up behind me and sighed as I leaned back
against it and just relaxed. Boy did it feel good to just do nothing for once.
Glen came walking out of the bathroom and placed my clothes next to my bags. "I
didn't peek so don't worry." I giggled lightly as I shook my head. "Like I care
Glen. Like I have never seen your boxers before." He lifted a brow to me, "You
have?" I nodded and sighed, "Yes don't you remember?" Glen stood there for a
moment thinking and then it finally dawned on him. His face started to turn red.
"Oh yea.. That night.. Umm never mind then.." I giggled again as he turned
another shade of red.
I patted the bed next to me as he was about to sit down in a chair. "There is
plenty of room on the bed Glen. I don't bite." He looked to me, "I didn't know
if you wanted me on there or not. Cause I know how sore you are feeling and
all..." I shook my head, "I rather have you near me than far away.." He smiled
as he slowly was about to climb on the bed as there was a knock at the door. He
grumbled as he walked over and room service pushed our dinner in on a cart.
Right behind them was Mark and Shane. Glen paid the bell hop a tip and let him
out while letting Mark and Shane in.
Glen closed the door as Shane and Mark walked over to me and hugged me gently,
both of them. I was very surprised to get a hug out of Mark. "How yah feeling
Jamica?" Mark asked. I sighed a bit and smiled to him a bit, "I'll live. Just
going to be slow for awhile that's all." Shane nodded as he motioned for Glen to
come with him into the hallway for a moment. "Only take a second Glen." Shane
added. Glen looked to me as Mark sat down in a chair near the bed as Glen nodded
and walked out into the hallway with Shane.
I looked to Mark, "I heard you're having problems with a certain lady again."
Mark lifted a brow and looked to me, "How did you..." "Glen told me. I hope
things work out. Unless you want me to kick her ass..." Mark lifted his left
hand and rubbed his goatee in thought, "Hmmmm.. that doesn't sound like a bad
idea.. I will keep that in mind. Well once your better that is." I nodded as we
got caught up in conversation on motorcycles of course.
Chapter 17
Glen came walking back in without Shane behind him. He was smilin' like always.
I loved this man, but I didn't have the guts to tell him straight out, because I
was too afraid that he wouldn't. Mark slowly stood up and looked to Glen and
then to me. "Looks like I better get going. You need your rest you two. If you
need anything, I got the room next door.." I nodded as Mark hugged me once
again, very gently and shook Glen's hand and left the room. Glen uncovered the
meals that were still hot and we sat and ate in silence. I didn't want to tell
him while we were eating. I wanted to wait as long as possible to tell him
everything.
The meal was alright. I wasn't very hungry and Glen could see it but I ate
anyways. I needed the food, I haven't eaten since who knows when today. Glen
took the empty plates and stacked them upon the cart and placed the cart out
into the hallway and closed the door and locked it up. He walked over to the
other side of the bed and climbed on gently and sat down and propped the other
pillow behind his back. He looked to me as his eyes just sparkled within the
moon lit room. I slowly climbed into his lap and laid my head upon his shoulder
as he held me with his arms. I have never felt so safe as I did right now in his
arms.
"Jamica I hate to bring up bad things and everything.. But what happen tonight?
and what does this Jackle and Wales have to do with you.." I sighed as I looked
up to him and sat up as I turned in his lap and looked to him. "Before I tell
you, please promise me you will not look down upon me. I know many do once I
tell them. But I want this to be between you and me only. Only one other person
knows about this besides you, but he will never say anything. It's confidental
actually." Glen nodded as he seriously looked at me and listened.
I looked down to my lap as I started in on my explaination. "Tonight was just
the tip of the iceberg of what Jackle can do. Wales is just a lacky, like I told
you before. He took my place once I left. Jackle and I use to date.. About let's
see 3 years ago now.. He was my manager in the federation I was in. That is
where you found me to start here on my wrestling career. But I never made it."
Glen nodded as he kept his arms gently around me. "Yes I remember that day I saw
you. Mark and I went with Vince to scout out new talent and you were one of
them. You were awesome at how you worked in the ring." I nodded as I continued
with a small smile upon my face, "Yes I was. But behind the scenes was
different. Nobody knew how things were between me and Jackle when we were off
camera and behind closed doors as well..." I sighed as I swallowed hard and the
smile slowly drifted away.
"Jackle was my manager and boyfriend, yes, but he also made me his lackey. I had
to do everything he wanted, between doing his laundry and running his odd jobs.
I was non-stop. I did it because he always threatened to cut my contract and I
would never get into the big time with my career. So I cooperated. But I didn't
know it would get worse, before it got better.." My body was shaking at this
point. I was getting to parts that I thought Glen would hate me for, but I
continued anyways. Glen looked at me with concern as he comforted me. I sighed
gently as I continued. "As time went on, Jackle got worse. But I was too blind
to get away. If I tried he would always some how find me and just haunt me. Like
he is doing now. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will find a way to get it.
Trust me, he's more stubborn than Mark." Glen just smirked as I said that, "Some
how I can believe this." I nodded. "Yes I know. But as things got worse, things
for me started going wrong. My performance started lacking in the ring and
everything. The federation promoter threatened to cut my contract if things
didn't shape up..." Glen looked to me concerned, "Yes I remember hearing from
Vince about this.. Why did this happen Jamica?" he asked. I knew he would of
asked it, so I had to tell him.
"Things got worse between Jackle and I. I tried getting away a hundred times it
seemed, but Jackle would get me back some how. He had friends everywhere that I
didn't know he did. He was turning into a very possesive person. I was starting
to get scared. He started getting heavily into drugs and drinking, mostly drugs.
He would send me out to get his stashes from dealers, when he so desperately
needed it. I would refuse alot, so when I did he would beat me. But I always
fought back, but it only made him angry, but I didn't care. I needed to defend
myself."
I just couldn't look at Glen at this point, "He never hurt me sexually. I made
sure that didn't happen. After getting his drugs then I would hide out in places
he couldn't find me. Mostly the gym. I needed to take my frustrations out on
something, usually it was him, but other than him. But he always seemed to find
me. He was always high, drunk or just plain ass rude when he did. As things got
worse so didn't his drug problem, more so than his drinking..." Glen sighed
softly as he listened. He looked to Jamica as he had to ask. "How did Wales get
into this?" "Wales was one of his drug contacts. I would usually go to him or a
few others to get them. I got caught a few times by cops, but I would get out of
jail the next day. I was arrested three times for drug possesion. I did
community service to clear my name up. That is how I got to know alot of cops
for future references."
Glen nodded as I got myself together. "Things had gotten so bad.. I can't forget
this night as long as I live... This is the night that ended my wrestling career
and placed me where I am today... I had just finished a match. I was finally
picking my game up once again in the ring. But that all came tumbling down, once
I got backstage to change and head for a gym to hide out from Jackle. No, Jackle
caught me and yanked me up by my shirt collar and held me up in front of him. He
wanted me to go meet one of his drug contacts in the worse part of the city. I
told him no, I had a meeting with another wrestling promotion. He wouldn't take
that answer.. He carried me into the darkest part of the arena and tossed me to
the floor and threatened me with a knife to my throat. I had no choice but to do
it."
I paused for a moment as I got myself together, then I started to speak. "I was
tired by the time I reached the contact down town. Wales had came with me to
make sure things went smooth. Yea.. right... Once I got out of the car, Wales
climbed into the driver seat and left me in the bad part of the city. There was
no drug contact to meet. It was a set up to put me in my place, so to speak. I
was met by a gang of hired thugs and beat the living shit out of me. I couldn't
defend myself. I did, to the best of my ability. But nothing worked." Glen
caught a breath in his throat as I told him everything. He felt hurt inside that
Jamica kept this from him, but madder than hell that this Jackle person would
treat her like an animal. "I slowly came too, after being knocked out. I slowly
got to my feet and I wandered into the street. I didn't know I have done so. I
heard Jackle's voice and the only thing I could think of doing was running.
So here I was beaten to bloody nothing, bruised and in a lot of pain, running up
the street... If it wasn't for me running into the intersection of the street,
Jackle would of caught me..." "What happen Jamica?.. If you don't want to tell
that is fine.." Glen emphasized as he looked to her with concern. I shook my
head and continued.
"No I want you to know Glen. No secrets... I ended up getting hit by a car and
thrown up onto the hood and then down onto the ground. I didn't move from there.
Jackle had caught up and picked me up and brought me to the hospital. The
federation promoter showed up while I was in surgery. Jackle had told him I had
gotten hurt in the ring, during a training session and I would be fine to return
to the ring, once I was healed. Well that is what he thought was going to
happen, but I never did... Surgery did help, but didn't give me much mobility.
My shoulder was completely shattered. Hours of surgery and rehabilitation,
brought me to where I am now... I was in the hospital for quite awhile, but once
I was released. I disappeared out of sight, out of mind..." I felt Glen settle
down underneath me. He was uptight the whole time, I was telling him everything.
I finally looked up to him. I felt so ashamed and dirty at the same time, but he
needed to know. Glen had a small smile upon his face as he ran the side of his
left index finger up and down my cheek. "So that is where you disappeared too. I
remember this all very clearly now. Vince kept Mark and I updated on your
progress in the ring down there. We were looking forward to bringing you here
and giving you a contract. But once Vince told us you were never coming back to
the ring and now were missing... The promoter told us you got hurt in the ring
and was never seen again once it happen.." I shook my head, "That is what Jackle
told the promoter, just to cover his ass when it came to the cops questioning
him. But you and Vince are the only two who know the real truth Glen. I wanted
to let you know about it because.... The same thing happen tonight... But this
time he beat me himself, instead of hiring thugs.. I ran down a street and well
got hit by a car, this time I got up and ran off. I couldn't think of any other
place to go but here. I couldn't go back to the arena. I knew Jackle and Wales
would be looking for me. So I returned here..." Glen nodded. "But how did you
get into my room?" "I got into my room and then came in through the other door."
I nudged my head towards it. Glen looked to it and nodded. "Thank god I didn't
lock it, like I usually do." I smiled gently and nodded. Glen sighed as he
leaned back against the pillows. I sat there as he looked lost in thought.
Chapter 18
My eyes never left Glen as he finally sat up and looked to me. I was waiting for
the worse. "I appreciate you telling me the truth Jamica. It doesn't make me
look at you differently either. I look at you the same as always. With all the
love and care I have to give you and more." He rubbed my back gently. I felt a
great relief just lift off of my shoulders. "Do you mean that Glen?" I looked to
him to make sure. He nodded, "Of course I do, why do you question it?" I shook
my head gently. "No reason. I was making sure that's all. Because I also have
something to confess." Glen's heart skipped a beat, once he heard her words.
"Glen I am also falling for you. I give you all the love and care that I have in
my heart. I do appreciate you letting me tell you about why Jackle and Wales are
around again." Glen nodded as he placed me upon the bed gently and got up and
opened his bag and changed into a pair of shorts, for better comfort.
"You know, when everything started happening around here lately and taking that
guy out of your hotel room before. Mark and I were trying to figure out where
we've seen these guys before. Now it rings a bell, now that you've told me this
Jamica." I leaned back against the pillow behind me. "I knew you guys recognized
me once I started working here. Vince was going to give me a wrestling contract,
but I took a staff job instead. I rather do what I do than wrestle. Anyways, my
shoulder could never take the bumps and what not." Glen climbed back onto the
bed gently and looked to me. "You beat me to it. I was about to ask why you are
not wrestling, instead your unloading trucks, but never mind." I laughed as he
did as well. I placed my right hand upon his that was nearby on the bed. "I
don't know what I would do without you in my life now Glen. I think I would be
dead or something, but I knew I had to live my life the way I wanted it." Glen
placed his other hand on top of mine, making a sandwich out of mine and smiling
broadly. "Same goes for me as well Jamica. I have had girl friends, but nobody
and I mean nobody doesn't measure up to how I feel about you." I blushed a bit
as I heard his words. He leaned forwarded and captured my lips in a mind blowing
kiss.
I thought the kiss would last forever. My heart was racing and my muscles were
turning into jello. Glen pulled back from the kiss as he couldn't stop smiling,
like a treasure cat on a loot of gold. "How about we turn in and forget about
everything that happen tonight." I nodded as I slid down and laid flat on the
bed. Glen helped me down and covered me with the blankets. He joined me and
snuggled gently next to me. He draped his massive arm over me. I couldn't help
but slide backwards and snuggle as close as I could get. I could feel his
erection against my butt. I moved forward a bit and turned a few shades of red.
Thank god it was dark in the room. Glen leaned his head down to my ear, "Found
something that startled you?" he whispered. I nodded just a bit as he very
lightly chuckled at me. I sighed as I snuggled into him and we both slowly fell
asleep in one another's arms.
It was about a month later, it found me of course in the back tickering around
with one of Taker's bikes. He had mentioned a problem with the brakes, so I told
him I would take a look at it. I was kneeling down on one knee with my back to
the passing people as I reached for a wrench I heard yelling from the other end
of the hallway. I looked up from my work and placed the wrench down upon the
floor and got to my feet as I wiped my hands off on a rag. "Why don't you just
leave me alone.. I want nothing to do with YOU!" Was all I heard before a huge
'Smack' echoed through the hallways and such.
I had to see what was going on. That was Mark's voice, I have never heard him
yell like that, well I have seen heard him yell, but not a smack afetrwards.
Unless I know who had came back around once again. Glen came walking out from
the hallway and saw me. He approached me as he rolled his eyes. I looked to him
, "What's with all the noise?" I asked. "Let's just say Sara has a thick skull
and doesn't get it. Mark wants nothing to do with her. The divorce went through,
but she wants more out of him than meets the eye. Now she doesn't want to be
divorced from him. She is confusing him as usual and Mark just had enough. You
heard him yell at her and then she slapped him in the face. It wasn't pretty." I
growled as I stormed off and headed down the hallway. I saw Mark leaning against
the wall with his arms crossed over his chest as he hid his rolling eyes behind
his sunglasses as Sara yelled and chatted away in front of him.
Her voice was annoying as hell. Mark nodded and made it look like he was paying
attention. I looked to him and saw the slap mark on his left cheek from her.
Mark stood up from the wall and growled, "Shut up Sara. I have had enough of
your bitching and complaining to last me to my grave. Get it through your head.
I want nothing to do with you, the divorce is FINAL! I am not changing it just
because you want me too. I don't love you and that is FINAL!" he yelled. Sara
was drawn back by this and balled up her fist at her side. I got myself ready in
case, in a stance to charge and do what I love to do to annoying little bitches,
who fuck with my family.
Sara lifted her fist as Mark decided to turn and began to walk away. She leaned
back as she swung as she yelled, "Hey Mark. I got something for you.. Turn
around.." Mark sighed as he stopped and turned around. She swung with all her
might as she cold cock him in the face and knocked him backwards to the floor. I
growled as I ran full force towards her, low and towards her waist. I hit her
dead on and knocked her to the floor. She was taken back by my actions as I
grabbed her by the front of her tank top. "I see you around here or even near
Mark again and even hurt one LITTLE hair on his head.. I will personally find
you and kick your CHEAP HOEING ASS ALL OVER THE ARENA!" I let her go as I slowly
got up and looked to Mark. He was slowly moving upon the floor, coming to his
senses that is.
Glen heard the commotion and my yelling and came jogging down the hallway and
knelt down to Mark. He helped Mark sit up as Sara jumped on me and knocked us
both to the ground and tried putting me in an arm bar. Heh, yea right. I slipped
out of that and just knocked her to the floor with an elbow to the stomach. I
knocked her down to the floor once again and just started punching her face. "I
WARNED YOU! Now Listen REAL hard.. Stay away from MARK.. or you will deal with
ME!" I gave her one last punch and left her laying there. I slowly got up as I
straightened out my shirt and turned and looked to Mark and Glen with their jaws
dropped open. I chuckled a bit as Sara slowly moved and moaned in pain. "You two
better close your mouths, unless you chose to be frogs and catch flies." They
both slowly close their jaws as a large muscular man came over and knelt down
and took Sara into his arms. "Who did this?!?" he bellowed. My hands were
covered with her blood and bruised from punching her face and shit.
The guy looked to me after looking to Glen and Mark. Mark got to his feet as
Glen helped him. He was checking his jaw to make sure it still worked. They both
stood behind me, "I did that. Who the HELL are you?" I asked. "I'm her fiance.
If I catch you near her and laying a hand upon her again, I will personally kill
you!" I rolled my eyes. "I am so scared punk. You listen good. If I see your
little whore around Mark again, talking to him or even hurting him in any way
possible, I will make sure she leaves next time in a body bag." The guy growled
as he lifted the batter Sara into his arms and walked off once he knew he was
out numbered by Mark and Glen standing directly behind me.
The guy left along with Sara as Mark and Glen both laid a hand each upon each of
my shoulders. "Thanks Jamica. I owe you one for that. I would of hit her, but I
don't hit ladies." I looked up to Mark, "It's alright Mark. I am glad I could
help out with the little problem, which hopefully will be no more." Mark nodded
as Glen patted my shoulder, "You alright Jammer?" I nodded as I walked over to a
drinking fountain and ran my hands under the water a couple of times. "Yea just
fine. I needed to tell her off and make sure she got the hint." "I don't think
we will be hearing from her any time in the near future." Mark nodded, "Nope we
won't." He rubbed his jaw. I wiped my hands off on my jeans and placed a hand
upon Mark's jaw gently. "Put some ice on it Mark. It will help with the swelling
and bruising." He nodded. "I will do that Jamica. Thanks again. I will see you
in awhile to check on the bike." I nodded as I lowered my hand. He removed his
hand from my shoulder and walked off.
Chapter 19
Glen was looking at me still in surprisement. I looked to him and shrugged and
lifted a brow to him. "What?" He shook his head, "Nothing. I will just remember
not to piss you off in the future that's all." I rolled my eyes, "Glen no need
to say that. I just don't like people treating my family like they are nothing.
He was trying to walk away and she attacked him first. Instead of him getting in
trouble I jumped in to help. Plain and simple." Glen nodded, "Understandable.
But if you didn't come along after awhile, Mark probably would of hit her, but
like Mark said he doesn't hit women and neither do I. But did you just tell her
we were family." I nodded as I placed my gloves back on and started to walk away
to get back to work. I stopped and didn't turn and look to Glen as I spoke, "Of
course your family Glen. Mark, you and I are just one tight knit family. I think
that of course. I don't know how you two feel about it." Glen took a few steps
towards me and placed a hand upon my shoulder. "I do also think of us as family.
I would do anything for you and Mark. You know that first hand already." I
nodded as I placed my hand upon his. "Of course I do Glen. You and Mark have
been there for me through some really rough times and I really appreciate it."
Glen couldn't help but smile as I let his hand go, "I gotta get back to work
before Scott has my head. He's been hounding me since I've arrived. We have a
couple of guys out sick and I gotta help out as much as possible." Glen nodded,
"I'm gonna go check on Mark then I got my match. I will meet you back at the
hotel later on alright?" I looked over my shoulder and smiled to him. "Of course
I will."
Glen was smiling broadly as he removed his hand from my shoulder and walked off
to check on Mark. I headed back to Mark's bike to finish the work and then help
Scott out as much as I could.
I finished up the bike and got it ready for Mark's match. Scott came running
around the corner and over to me. I just finished picking up and packing the
bike truck up, except for the bike Mark was using of course. "Jammer, Mr.McMahon
wants you in his office pronto." I waved my hand to Scott as he ran off to solve
another problem the ring crew was having. I jumped down out of the trailer and
removed my black fingerless gloves as I walked down the hallway to Vince's
office. I reached his door and knocked. The word's 'Come In' sounded harsh. I
removed my baseball cap and turned the knob and walked in and closed the door
behind me.
Vince was sitting on a black leather couch on his cell phone. He motioned to me,
he would be right with me. I waited until he was completed with his call. He
hung up his cell phone and placed it upon the coffee table. "Please sit down
Jamica." I shook my head, "No thank you Mr.McMahon. I rather stand." He nodded,
"Fine with me. I just got the most distrubing call about you beating up another
woman." he paused as he sighed a little and then looked to me. "She threatened
to sue the company if I didn't do something about you Jamica. But what should I
do with you?" I looked to him. I didn't know what to say but this, "I was
standing up for someone sir. The person couldn't defend himself so I stepped in
and did it for that person." "I see. Who was this person you were helping out?"
"Sorry sir. I am not going to tell you because I don't think I should. But
whatever consequences I have coming I will take in stride and that will be it."
Vince nodded as he looked from me to some papers in front of him. "I am sorry
Jamica. I have had numerous complaints about you lately. I don't know why. You
are one of my best workers we have in the back besides Scott. But only thing I
think of doing is suspend you for two weeks without pay and then you can return
and see what happens then." I swallowed hard as I felt my heart just sank. I
couldn't leave Mark and Glen no way, I don't care if it was for two weeks. "Yes
sir. I will get my gear and be on out." Vince slowly stood up and shook my hand.
"Just think of this as a mini vacation Jamica. Come back and start on a fresh
slate. I will deal with the rest of this situation." I nodded as I shook his
hand and left his office.
I was grumbling to myself the whole walk to the bike trailer and climbed up in
and grabbed my back pack and any other thing that was mine and shoved it into my
back pack and closed it up. I grabbed my fingerless black gloves off one of the
shelves of bike parts, where I left them. I walked to the end of the trailer and
jumped down as Mark came walking over, he had a nice shiner forming under his
right eye. I looked to him as I placed my backpack over my shoulder and was
about to sneak off the loading dock when he caught me. "Jamica where you off
too?" I stopped in my tracks and looked to him, "I got some things to do. Your
bike is done Mark and ready for you tonight. I got someone to put your bike away
and make sure it gets to it's next destination on time and ready for you." Mark
looked to me oddly, "Something wrong Jamica?"
I shook my head, "No I just got called away that's all. I will be back. If you
see Glen don't tell him about this Mark. I will call him later on. Have a good
match." Mark went to stop me again, but I had already slid off the dock to the
ground and jogged off. The quicker I got out, the easier it was for me not to go
back and blow up at Vince.
I grabbed a cab back to the hotel and got the rest of my stuff together, after
calling up the airport and got the next flight out back to Massachusetts. I was
going home to relax and rethink things over about where my life was going. If
this was going to keep happening with me and the WWE, maybe I shouldn’t come
back to work there. I had a few things to think about for the next two weeks. I
sighed as I zipped up my duffle bag and placed them near the door. I heard my
cell phone ring as I picked it up. I looked at the ID and it was Glen. I let my
voice mail take the message. I had written him a letter and was going to leave
it at the desk for him.
It was time for me to head to the airport. I placed my cell phone into my back
pack, which was going to be my carry on bag for the way home. I grabbed my
duffle bag and rolled my suitcase behind me as I headed down to my cab. I
stopped by the front desk and checked out and left the letter with Glen. Then I
climbed into the cab and headed home.
Chapter 20
I had been home for about five days now. It felt great to be home on my small
ranch. I was out feeding my horses when I heard my dogs, Travander and Jescio
barking. I dusted myself off and walked out of the barn as I saw a huge silver
Dodge pick up driving into my driveway. I walked up onto the porch as I called
the dogs over. They came running and clambered up onto the porch as the truck
parked and the dust from the driveway settled down. The windows were tinted so I
couldn't see inside. I opened the door and grabbed my Louisville Slugger
baseball bat in case.
Wales and Jackle climbed out and had the two biggest smirks on their faces as
they walked up to the porch. "What do you want Jackle and Wales. This is private
property. How did you find me?" I yelled. Jackle removed his black wrap around
sunglass as Wales stayed two feet behind him. They both stopped 3 feet away from
my log cabin porch. The dogs each sat on my sides growling and snarling.
I had the bat leaning on my left shoulder, like I was ready to go up to bat. "I
came here to give you an offer Jamica. I heard about you loosing your job. I
thought maybe you would be interested." Jackle proclaimed. I lifted a brow, "I
didn't loose my job Jackle, and if I did. It's none of your business. I just
took a mini vacation. Spill your guts and get off my property before my dogs do
it for you." Jackle nodded as he looked to me, "I am here to offer you your old
job back to work for me once again. It will be like old times, but more
improved." I scoffed at the idea, "How about HELL NO! I ain't going back to
being your lackey Jackle. I rather freeze in hell before I ever and I mean EVER
work with you again. I got better things to do thanks. Now get off my property
before I call the cops and have them escort you off."
Jackle snorted as he gave me a nasty look and took a step forward as Travander
barked and snarled loudly at him. Both Jackle and Wales jumped back and toppled
over one another into the dirt.
They clammered over one another to the truck and climbed in quickly as the dogs
jumped off the porch and jumped up at the truck as it revved up and took off out
of the driveway, kicking up dust, the dogs chasing it. I sighed and placed the
bat down up against the house as the dogs came running back and laid in the
shade after taking a drink from their water dish. I sat down on the porch steps
and patted their heads, "Good boys. That nasty man will not be back." I got up
and headed for the garage. I had my black Dodge parked in the driveway with
silver roll bars in the bed. I opened up one of the garage doors of my two car
garage and looked into it. It was full of bikes, bike parts, etc. I ran a small
repair business out of my garage on my off time. Well when I had the off time.
This was part of my therapy after the run in with Jackle problems and such.
Motorcycle repair and such like this, helped me through some hard times and it
still did.
I crouched down to a nearly completed Chopper. It was silver in color on the
tank and fenders with midnight blue and dark red flames mixed upon the tank. My
nickname "Jammer" was on the back fender. I had built this bike for myself. I
started it 4 years ago and I still haven't completed it yet. I grabbed a few
tools and started in on finishing the wiring. I had the radio blasting and a
song I enjoyed very much and it did pertain to me somewhat started to play. It's
called "Rescue Me" by Uncle Kracker. I just couldn't resist in singing along
with the tune as I worked.

Those lyrics I kind of stuck to because they meant I needed to be rescued from
the past trying to take me back, which in true that is what Jackle was trying to
do. I wasn't going to let him. My rescuer was Glen and Mark. They brought
something out of me that nobody else could.
They brought out the love I had trapped within and brought it to the surface. I
had something I didn't have for the longest time a family. I missed the two of
them heavily, especially Glen. I did try calling him a few times, but he
wouldn't pick up his cell phone. I hope he wasn't angry with me for not telling
him face to face then with a note. But I had to get out of the arena, Vince
barks you pay attention and do what is needed to be done, no questions asked.
I turned the radio off and played the CD that was in the player. It was Kid Rock
'Cocky' album. Much better than the radio right now. I was nodding my head and
such to the music that I didn't hear the car pull up behind my truck. The dogs
brought me to attention when I heard them barking. I looked up from finishing
the some wiring to see a gray rental pulled up behind my truck. I turned the
music down as I grabbed a rag and wiped my hands as I walked out of my garage.
My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw Glen and Mark standing upon my porch
knocking on the door. Jescio was barking franctically while Travander barked and
backed away and growled. I sighed and I leaned against the garage doorway and
watched them for a moment. Pushing one another back and forth, like little kids.
I guess Mark said something and Glen didn't like it. "You two having fun or you
just love distrubing the dead." Glen and Mark both turned around and dropped
their bags onto the porch and jetted off the porch towards me. But the dogs had
other things on their mind and ran in front of them that stopped the two big men
in their tracks. I couldn't help but laugh. I looked to the dogs and patted
their heads, "It's alright boys. These two are family, just like you." I patted
the shepard Travander and the Rottie Jescio as they finally calmed down and sat
back on their haunches and just panted.
Glen and Mark both looked to the dogs and then to me, "Is it safe to move yet?"
Mark asked. I nodded as they both charged me and picked me up and bear hugged
me. I was in a Brothers of Destruction sandwich. "I missed you also.. guys..
but.. can I have some air please?" They both backed away as Glen placed me on my
feet. "Sorry Jamica. We just missed you that much I guess." Glen said rubbing
the back of his head. I shook my head and laughed a bit, "It's alright guys. I
missed the both of you terribley as well. Come on into the garage. Guys want a
beer?" I asked over my shoulder as I walked into the garage and over to the frig
as I dodged parts and such in the way. Glen and Mark both walked into the garage
as Mark's eyes went big as saucers and Glen's mouth dropped. "Holy shit Jamica.
Clean the garage much or are you this big of a pack rat.." I grabbed three
bottles of beer out of the frig and closed it. I opened them as I walked back
over and handed Mark and Glen a beer as I chugged mine.
Travander came walking in and laid on the cool concrete floor as Jescio came
padding in and sniffed at Glen and then Mark. Glen took the beer and looked down
at the Rottie sniffing him. I sighed as I looked to Jescio. "Jescio leave him
alone now. Go lay down with Travander." The dog whined a bit and did as he was
told. "Sorry about that Glen. Jescio likes to get a little too friendly." Glen
looked to me and shook his head, "No big deal, I love dogs. I guess he doesn't
like me."
Mark chuckled a bit as he wandered the garage looking around at the finished
bikes on one side of the garage and parts and work area on the other side.
"No he likes you Glen. He was just sniffing you to see who you were. That's just
him. Travander.. Well he'll just bark and then relax once I have told him, even
if I know you or not. That's just him.." I sat myself down on a work bench as I
offered Glen a stool. "What brings you guys out here. I know this is no ordinary
house call." Glen shook his head, "No it's not. Mark and I caught wind of what
happen. Well we decided we needed some time off, so we demanded it and well
Vince couldn't resist the idea. Plus, well we sort of.." Mark sipped his beer as
he interupted Glen, "We threatened to leave the company permantly unless Vince
listened to what we had to say about what happen with you and Sara. He finally
sat down and listened. Everything is cleared up and Sara.. Well I settled her
straight." I couldn't help but smile, "That's good to hear. I didn't want to say
nothing that day, because I didn't know if you wanted me to do so or not Mark. I
was keeping it hush hush, until you wanted to say something." Mark nodded, "I
appreciate that you did that Jamica. You have taken a lot of flock from me and
other things. I don't know how to pay you back." I shook my head, "No need for
pay back Mark. We're family. I would do it again if I had too." Mark smiled as
he went back to examining the bikes.
Glen stood instead of sitting as he walked over to me and leaned his hands upon
the work bench on either side of me. "I have missed you so much. Why didn't you
tell me that day you were suspended?" I sighed and looked to him, "I just wanted
to get out of there. I told Mark not to say nothing. That is why he didn't."
Glen looked to Mark, "Well I made him after awhile." Mark looked to Glen and
then to me, "It's true. He threatened me." I looked from Mark to Glen as I
lifted a brow, "You threatened the Dead Man. That's the first. But anyways, I am
going to keep the two weeks. I needed some time away and gets things back
together around here." "That is why we are here. We needed some time away, so we
thought maybe you would want some company." Glen exclaimed as he leaned up to
his full height and looked to me.
I nodded and smiled broadly to him. "Sure. You two can stay here. Plenty of room
here. I sure could use the company and such. Only things here is relaxation,
woods, animals and well the bikes in here and other things, but pure
relaxation." Mark was still looking over a bike that had caught his eye as I
looked over to him, "Something catch your eye Mark?" He jumped a bit as Glen
leaned against the work bench beside me and drank his beer. Mark nodded, "Yea
this bike caught my eye. Did you build this?" I shook my head as I drank some of
my beer. "No I restored it actually for a customer, but he never came back to
get it. That was two years ago. Purrs like a kitten and runs like a dream. If
you want you can ride any one of those, but the black one. That belongs to a
customer that is picking it up tomorrow." Mark nodded as he walked away and
stopped near the Chopper. "I will keep that in mind... What's this?" "That my
dear Dead Man is my Chopper. I have built it from the ground up. I am just
finishing up the wiring and such on it when you two pulled in.
I started that some time ago, just haven't had time to finish it yet." Mark
looked to me in surprisement. "You are very talented Jamica. Can't wait to see
this beast completed." I nodded as I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. "I
can't wait either. But I got animals to feed." I slid off the work bench and
looked to Glen and Mark. "Guys wanna tour of the ranch while I feed or you just
want to wander?" Mark shrugged as Glen shook his head. "I will just wander a
bit. Let you two be alone for a bit." Mark exclaimed as he walked off. I looked
to Glen, "What's up with him?" Glen shrugged. "I don't know. He's been acting
odd since that Sara incident. I think he's still hurting inside and just doesn't
show it on the outside. If you get what I mean." I nodded as Glen and I headed
out back to the barn to feed the horses in the barn.
Chapter 21
Glen leaned against the fence as I fed the horses. We were catching up on things
at work and such. A chestnut mare came slowly walking up from the lower field
and started feeding out of one of the buckets I had just put some feed in. The
other horses followed. A wild paint, black stallion and a pair of colts
following their Arabian mother. I walked back into the barn as Glen followed on
the outside of the pen.
"I never knew you bred horses?" I looked to him as I walked over to him, "The
two colts were a rescue. I don't breed them. I actually rescue horses. Except
the stallion. That's Jet. He has an attitude sometimes, but lately he hasn't
been himself. I got the vet coming out tomorrow to take a look at him in case."
Glen nodded as he placed his arm over my shoulders. I stood up on my tip toes
and clenched his lips in a mind blowing kiss. I felt Glen almost loose his
balance. I must of really caught him off guard. I thought the kiss would last
forever when I heard the dogs barking. We released the kiss as I looked towards
the house.
"I wonder what's got Travander and Jescio all wild up." Glen looked to me and
shrugged. We both jogged up to the house once I heard Travander's bark start to
get more nastier sounding. I came around the corner of the garage and looked in.
Travander and Jescio had Jackle cornered and armed with a lead pipe. I crossed
my arms over my chest as Glen came up behind me. "What are you doing here Jackle
once again?" I asked. "I..I..I.. I thought you might of changed your mind.. I
was looking for you in here and these beasts came after me." I rolled my eyes.
"They are not beasts. They are dogs and you invaded their space. They are guard
dogs Jackle. I will never change my mind, get the drift. I am happy with what I
do and what I have. So if you'll kindly get off my property before I let the
dogs have a chunk of your ass."
Jackle slowly made his way out of the garage still armed with the pipe. The dogs
followed him as he scampered to Wales' truck waiting in the driveway. Jackle
dropped the pipe upon the ground as he jumped into the truck as the dogs lunged
at the truck. Travander grabbed Jackle's leg and pulled him down to the ground.
Jescio went for his other leg as Wales pulled out without Jackle. I yelled to
the dogs to let him go as Glen walked into the garage.
"Did you hear that?" he asked me. I looked to Glen and shook my head as I
listened carefully. I heard a light moan coming from the garage. "What was
that?" Glen shrugged as he walked over to where Jackle was standing and stopped
in his tracks. "Oh god. Jamica better call for an ambulance. It's Mark." My jaw
dropped and I ran over to where Glen was.
I knelt down next to Mark laying on the floor of the garage. Blood was
everywhere from his head. "What the hell happen! Mark can you hear me?" I shook
his shoulder gently. He was out cold. I looked to Glen as I tossed him my cell
phone. "You call I got someone that is going to give me answers right NOW!" I
removed my shirt that was over my tank top and placed it upon the wound on
Mark's head. "I'll be right back." I quickly grabbed the baseball bat as I
walked out of the garage. The dogs still had Jackle on the ground and not
moving. They let go of his legs and Jackle was trying to go for the pipe. I had
alot of anger and frustration running through me. So much that I could beat the
living shit out of him.
The dogs kept Jackle away from the pipe as I approached. "I wouldn't move
Jackle. Not unless you want to become a homerun!" I growled as I stepped between
him and the pipe. "You have gone too far this time asshole. You beat my family
up and I should beat the living shit out of you like a rag doll. But I won't. I
will let you get what you deserve. You and Wales." Jackle scoffed as he looked
to me all innocent like. "I didn't hurt him. He was already laying there when I
walked into the garage..." "You are so full of SHIT Jackle. Get to your feet
right now!" Jackle hesitated, but the dogs changed his mind as he got to his
feet and slowly limped his way towards the garage.
Glen was kneeling down keeping Mark as comfortable as he could. "Sit down
Jackle. Make yourself comfortable." He did as he was told, the dogs growled and
sat down in front of him. "You move and I mean even a hair these dogs will kill
you." I put the bat down nearby Glen. I placed a hand upon Glen's shoulder. "The
medics and authorities are on their way." I nodded and ran a hand through my
hair, "This is all my fault Glen..." Glen comforted me, "No it's not. How were
you suppose to know this was going to happen.." I felt tears starting to burn my
eyes. I did feel responsible for this. But right now Mark was the main concern.
Glen got to his feet quickly and jogged for the house to get a couple of towels
to place near his head. My shirt was soaked with blood. I kept my eye on Jackle
and the dogs. Jackle didn't move one inch. He tried a couple of times, but
Travander and Jescio gave him a warning snarling, then he changed his mind very
quickly. Glen came back and placed one towel under his head, where the pipe hit
Mark's head. I looked Mark over in case for any other injuries. He had bruises
everywhere. He might of had some broken ribs or something. I growled as I got up
quickly and walked out and picked Jackle up by the front of his shirt and got in
his face big time. "What did you do to HIM?!?" Jackle just smirked and looked to
me, "I did my JOB!" I growled louder as I shook him, "You better start talkin'
Jackle or I will drag answers out of you." Jackle clammed up as I dropped him to
the ground.
The police drove up the drive with the ambulance behind them. The cops climbed
out of their vehicle and started talking to me about what happen. I told them
everything. The cops walked over to Jackle as I called the dogs off and up onto
the porch they went. They cuffed Jackle and put out a APB for Wales' arrest. The
ambulance packed Mark up and we got into my truck and followed them to the
hospital.
Chapter 22
Glen paced in the waiting room of the hospital while I sat there with my head in
my blood stained hands. Millions of things were going through my mind and
probably Glen's as well. I slowly rose to my feet as I stared out the window for
awhile. Glen stopped pacing and came up behind me and placed his hands upon my
shoulders. "He'll be okay Jamica. I can feel it deep down he will be." I placed
one of my hands upon his. "I know he will be Glen. I know, but I have a sick
feeling this is my fault in a way. I know it is. Jackle told me when I asked him
what he did to Mark. He told me he was doing his job. I wonder what he meant by
that." Glen shrugged as he rubbed my upper arms gently. "I don't know Jamica,
but I hope this all comes together somehow." I nodded as I sighed and ran a hand
through my hair. "Why do I have this sick feeling in my stomach that something
is terribly wrong with this whole thing?" Glen shrugged, "Could be nerves from
everything that has happened. Don't worry once we know something about Mark.
Maybe it will help." I nodded as I sighed.
Glen had called Vince on his cell after we arrived here at the hospital and told
him what happen. I was trying to get answers from a nurse or a doctor. Nobody
knew nothing at that time and nobody still didn't. The McMahon family came
jogging into the waiting room and was greeted by Glen. "How is he Glen?" Linda
asked, after hugging him. Glen shrugged. "We don't know anything yet. The
doctors are still working on him." She nodded as Shane approached me and placed
a hand upon my shoulder. I jumped a bit as I wrapped my arms around him, "I am
glad you made it Shane." He smiled a bit to me, "How you holding up Jamica?" he
asked. I stepped back and shrugged. "Alright I guess. Just edgey that's all." He
nodded as everybody else came over and hugged me and tried to comfort me.
Nothing could help right now, just answers.
Vince sat down with Linda next to him and Shane remained standing. "Did they
catch whoever did this yet?" I nodded as I started to pace, "Yes they did. They
are being held on assault charges with no bail until further notice." Vince
nodded, "Good to hear. Trust me this will not go unpunished." I nodded as I kept
on pacing. "Sorry Stephanie couldn't be here. She stayed behind to keep the
company going and keep everybody there informed. A lot of the guys wanted to
come." Shane added. Glen stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, "I
know. Once we know what's going on I will let Stephanie know and she can let the
guys know." Vince nodded as everybody went quiet.
I was getting impatient. Vince was sitting talking quietly with Linda. Shane had
fallen asleep in one of the chairs next to Glen who was sort of watching the TV.
I was well, pacing as usual. I couldn't sit still. It seemed like forever and a
day was going by. Finally a nurse came out, "There family here for Calloway?" I
stopped in my foot steps as Vince and everybody stood up. "Over here." The nurse
nodded as she walked over to us. "Sorry to keep you waiting so long. We have him
in a room waiting to be brought upstairs. He will have to stay for a couple of
days. I will let the doctor tell you the rest." The nurse looked to me, "How are
you related to Mr.Calloway? You his wife?" I looked to the nurse and shook my
head, "No I'm his sister." Glen walked over, "I'm his younger brother." Which
this was sort of true, well according to us. The nurse nodded and looked to the
McMahons. I looked to the nurse, "These are friends of ours." The nurses nodded
and responded, "I'm sorry only immediate family can come back right now, until
Mr.Calloway is moved to a room upstairs." I looked to Vince as he nodded, "It's
alright Jamica. Go and see him and we will see him afterwards." I nodded as the
nurse looked to Glen and I, "Only one at a time in the back at this moment. I'm
sorry it's our policy." Glen looked to me, "You go Jamica. You can report back
to us afterwards. I can see him after he is moved up to his room." I took a deep
breath as I nodded. The nurse motioned for me to follow her into the back.
The nurse told me what to expect when I walked into Mark's room. I nodded as we
approached his room. The room lights were off so he could sleep. Only things
heard out of the room was the heart monitor and his breathing in and out of
oxygen. I swallowed hard as the nurse looked to me as she whispered. "You can
touch him and talk to him. He might not answer, if he does he will sound groggy.
He is under alot of meds because of the pain and such. The doctor will be by to
see you in a few minutes to give you more of a better update." I nodded and
thanked her as she walked away to tend to her duties. I swallowed hard as I
slowly walked in and walked up to the left side of his bed, avoiding the side
with all the wires and such. I draped my right arm over the bed rail and placed
my hand upon his forearm. He was bruised terribly. Both his forearms, hands and
his midsection was wrapped up with bandages. He did have some bruising upon his
face. A white bandage was wrapped around his head. He was laying semi sitting
up, under the crisp white hospital sheets and blankets, except for his feet,
which hung over the end of the gurney. I felt so sorry for him, being so tall
half the time.
I stood there leaning upon the bed rail with my right hand sitting beside his
arm. I didn't know if I should touch him or what. I moved my hand down to his
hand and rubbed a couple of his fingers and spoke softly to him, "Hey Dead Man.
Hang in there, I'm here along with Glen and the McMahons. Everybody is worried
about you, just get better alright. I miss your harassing already." I sighed
softly as I didn't even get a twitch out of him. He must of been heavily
medicated. His face was stern looking and relaxed as he slept. He looked like an
angel, but a beat up one at that. I ran my left hand through my hair. I felt
worse about this whole thing, this was my fault. I stood there for a bit longer
as the doctor walked in and checked his vituals and such and looked to me, "You
must be Mr.Calloway's sister."
I looked to the doctor and nodded as he motioned to follow him into the hallway
to talk. I followed to see what was going on.
"I am sorry to have kept you waiting." I shook my head as the doctor leaned his
hand out for me to shake, "I am Dr.Avain. I've been taking care of your brother
since he was brought in. He is very lucky you and your brother had found him
when you did..." I nodded as I shook the doctor's hand and listened to what he
had to say. "Nice to meet you, I am Jamica. What is wrong with my brother?" The
doctor looked at the chart and then closed it and held it in his hands as he
looked to me and started to speak. "It's going to be a long road for him to
recover Jamica. He had sustained a lot of injuries. I am especially worried
about his head. His brain is bruised and I am afraid of swelling. If this
occurs, I might have to go in surgically and relieve it. But right now it looks
like that won't be happening. I am getting him a room upstairs now to be under
observation for the next 48 hours." My heart jumped practically out of my chest
at the news the doctor told me. I looked into the room as the doctor kept on
explaining. "He also has broken ribs, one of his ribs did puncture his lung. We
had to chest tube him on his right side. That is why you see the tube on the
right side of his chest. I will be removing that maybe tomorrow. He is
unconscious ever since he came in. Right now we are monitoring everything on him
and keeping an eye on his head mostly. We are doing everything we can for him. I
promise you we are." I nodded as I ran a hand through my hair.
"I thank you doctor. I know you are, just a shock that's all." The doctor
nodded. "Do you have any questions or anything?" I looked to the doctor, "Is
there any way maybe me or my other brother can stay with him until he wakes?"
The doctor nodded, "Sure I will see that you or your other brother or both can
stay with him. Anything else?" I shook my head, "No doctor and I thank you for
everything." The doctor nodded as he patted my shoulder, "I have a question
though. If I may ask?" I looked to the doctor. "Sure I might have an answer."
The doctor nodded. "What happen to him, to give him such injuries?" I sighed,
"Someone beat him with a lead pipe. The persons who did it, were caught and
arrested." The doctor nodded, "Oh that's why the police were here for a copy of
the medical report and such. I see. Thank you for telling me what happen. It
fits why the injuries are like this." I nodded as the doctor patted my shoulder
once again, "If you need anything just ask. He will be moved upstairs in a bit
and I will make sure you and your brother can stay with him." I smiled a bit and
nodded as the doctor lowered his hand and left to tend to his duties. I walked
back into Mark's room and just stood by his bed side and rubbed his forearm with
my right hand very gently and talking to him softly, just letting him know I am
there and he ain't alone, until they came to take him upstairs to his room.
Chapter 23
I had to leave Mark, while they moved him upstairs. They told me the floor and
what room he was going to be in. I nodded and kissed his forehead as I left the
room. I walked out to the waiting room. I just barely made it into Glen's arms
as I finally broke down. Glen held me as I just let everything out.
I just couldn't help be feel helpless upon seeing a tough, but soft heart man
like Mark lay there hurt like he is. If I could I would trade places with him in
a heart beat. I finally calmed down and Glen sat me down and then sat next to
me. Shane and them gathered around as I explained everything the doctor told me.
Nobody didn't know what to say as I ran a hand through my hair and finally got
myself together. "He's being moved upstairs now. That's why I am out here. I
didn't want to leave him. He's a mess." Glen rubbed my back gently as he ran a
hand through his hair. "He didn't look that serious while he was laying there."
I placed a hand upon Glen's knee, "I know he didn't but it was internal Glen.
How could we know that he was hurt this bad. We didn't move him thank god." Glen
nodded.
Vince stood up and adjusted his jacket, "It looks like some measures are going
to have to be done. You two don't worry about the gentlemen who did this. I will
handle that part. You just keep us updated on everything with Mark and just keep
yourselves together as well alright." Glen and I just nodded. Vince excused
himself as he took his cell phone out of his pocket and walked outside to use
it. I stood to my feet and sighed. Glen got to his feet and looked to me, "You
going to be alright Jamica? Why don't you go home and shower and come back." I
shook my head, "No I am half the reason why he is like this. I am not going to
leave his side until he is awake and doing better than he is now. I promise
this, if anything and I mean anything else goes wrong with him, someone is going
to get their ass kicked by me." Glen backed away from me a few steps, I looked
to him and giggled a bit. "Sorry I just don't like seeing him the way he is. I
feel so damn helpless." Linda stepped forward and looked to me, "He's going to
be alright Jamica. He's strong and stubborn as hell. Nothing can't keep our Dead
Man down." I nodded as I walked off. Glen and Linda followed me. We told Shane
where to go. He was going to wait for Vince to return from his phone call.
As we approached Mark's new room, nurses were running in and out of his room
very quickly. We walked on the other side of the hallway so we wouldn't get
runned over. We slowly approached his door and I slowly approached his door to
open it as a huge male orderly came walking out and ran into me. He picked me up
and shook his head, "You can't be here. No visitors right now. Mr.Calloway has
coded and we are working on him right now." The gentleman put me down on my
feet. My heart nearly fell into my stomach as I heard Linda. She placed a hand
over her mouth. Glen leaned against the wall in shock. I fell to my knees and
quickly climbed to them and headed towards the door. "No.. he can't be.. NO! He
was FINE when I left him. I gotta be with HIM!" I yelled as I went for the room
door. Glen shook himself out of the shock and jumped forward and wrapped his
arms around me and picked me up off my feet. I fought against him as tears ran
down my cheeks, "Put me down Glen! This is my fault of why he is like this. Put
me DOWN!" Glen was shaking but walked backwards and down the hallway with Linda
at his side, comforting her at the same time.
I was fighting Glen all the way to the waiting area. Linda sat down as Glen
stood there fighting me. I finally gave up as Shane and Vince walked off the
elevator and saw Glen and I wrestling practically and Linda sitting there
shaking and not saying a word. Shane and Vince both ran over. Vince sat down and
looked to Linda in puzzlement. Linda laid her face upon his shoulder and just
sobbed as Shane helped Glen with me. Shane took me from Glen's arms as I finally
just gave up and collasped practically in his arms.
I had tired myself out. Glen sat down and took a breather. Shane sat down with
me in his lap. Vince looked to Shane holding me and then to Glen. "What is going
on? I thought you were going to see Mark?" Glen shook his head as he placed his
head into his hands. "The doctors are working on him. He coded in his.. room
while they were settling him in. They are working on.. stablizing him." Shane
and Vince both went into shock. Shane sighed as he felt me tense up and then
relaxed. They all understood why I flipped out and Linda and Glen were upset but
didn't flip like I did. I did because it was my fault Mark was hurt and now at
death's door.
Some time later the doctor came to us and told us Mark was stable once again and
resting comfortably. I lifted my head off of Shane's shoulder. I looked to him
and apologized for my actions. He nodded as I slowly got to my feet and walked
over to Glen. His head was still buried in his hands. I looked to the McMahons.
They all got up and headed for Mark's room to see him. I crouched down in front
of Glen and placed my hands upon his knees. "I'm sorry for the way I acted and
said. But It is my fault so it seems right now. Not until I know the truth about
what has happened and why, then I will feel different. Until then I won't Glen
about this." He shook his head in his hands. I lifted my head and kissed his
forehead gently, "Look at me Glen..." Glen slowly moved his hands away from his
face and looked to me, his eyes were blood shot from sobbing silently to
himself. "I care a great deal for Mark. He is the big brother I never had, but
you are more to me. I love you Big Guy and nothing will never change that about
how I feel for you. I wanted to let you know that." He nodded and wrapped his
arms around me and hugged me. I placed my arms around him and rubbed his back.
He shook in my arms as he spoke in whispers to me, "We almost lost him Jamica.
What drove a man to beat an innocent man to nearly death. Whoever is behind this
is going to rot in hell. I promise you this. If Mark makes it through this, I
promise to never make fun of him again." I sighed deeply and comforted him.
"It's alright Glen. Relax. He'll be alright I hope and feel that he will be. If
we let him know we are there, he'll pull through this. I know how you feel trust
me." Glen sniffed a bit and just wouldn't let me go. I sat there for a bit until
he settled down. He held my ear near his mouth as he whispered to me, "I love
you Jamica and don't you ever forget that." I nodded as I whispered back, "I
will never ever forget that Glen. I promise."
Chapter 24
Glen and I stayed with Mark the whole time. I would never leave his bed side,
only to go home and shower and feed the animals, other than that I was right
there by his side. Glen was there as well, he would leave to go back to my house
to shower or sleep but that was it. I slept on the cot in Mark's room, I could I
was small enough, Glen couldn't he was too tall. The nurses and the doctor
walked in and out sometimes during the day and night, checking on him. Things
were slowly getting better for Mark. The doctor didn't need to open his head for
the swelling to subside. His brain did swell a bit but not enough for that.
That was a relief for us to hear. The McMahon's were around for two days and
then had to get back to the business. We kept them posted by phone calls or
e-mail. I had brought my laptop up to the room to do some work I've been meaning
to finish on some poetry I was writing, to pass the time. Glen usually watched
TV or did some reading. Glen would leave for a bit to get something to eat or
just to get some air or something, but if anything changed with Mark I would
have to call him.
I closed my laptop and placed it back into my back pack as I yawned a bit. I
looked to my watch, it was 10 o'clock at night. The cot was set up at Mark's bed
side, so I could sometimes, if I woke up at night from nightmares, I could just
sit up and sit there holding his hand just talking to him like he was awake. I
would do that a lot. Tell him how things were, how the guys wanted to come and
see him but couldn't cause of work, but sent there regards and things like that.
He was always on the update of things. I sighed as I laid down on the cot and
tried to get some sleep. I didn't sleep very much nor eat. I just didn't feel
like it, not until I knew Mark was on the mend. Glen started to notice changes
in me, I was looking tired all the time and run down. He knew it wasn't me. He
tried his best to talk me into going home for a good night sleep and a good
meal, but I refused. I felt responsible for Mark, so I stayed at his bed side as
much as I could.
I woke up from another nightmare once again. I have had nightmares ever since
Jackle started coming back around. I just never slept right. It was about 4am
now. So I just sat there looking out the window, through the blinds to the night
sky slowly starting to turn into day break. I yawned as I drifted in and out of
sleep. I slid my knees up to my chest as I wrapped my left arm around my knees,
leaving my right hand sitting in Mark's hand. I sat there talking to him
quietly. I sighed as I knew he could hear me, but no real response from him.
I must of fallen asleep with my hand in Mark's. I was awaken by someone grasping
my hand gently. My eyes opened slowly as I looked around. The room was still a
bit dark as my eyes adjusted. I felt my hand within the grasp. I looked to it
and Mark's fingers were wrapped around my hand. I got to my knees and leaned
upon the bed railing and looked to him.
"Mark.. It's me Jamica.. I'm here.. Squeeze my hand again.. I know you can.."
and he did. A big lift just came off my shoulders. I grabbed the phone on the
bedside table and called Glen's cell phone. A groggy hello came across. I told
him everything in excitement. Glen shot up out of bed and was getting dressed
quickly as he was talking to me. I hung up with him, he would be coming up as
soon as he could.
I looked to Mark as he kept a grasp upon my hand. I tried getting my hand away,
but he would be looking for it. So I just kept it there, "Come on back to us
Dead Man. You are truly missed. I know you can hear me." I watched as his eyes
twitched and slowly opened and looked a bit confused as he blinked them a couple
of times. My god, my heart skipped a few beats as I looked to his emerald green
eyes once again. It was a relief to see those eyes once again. I knew he would
be alright from this point.
Glen was standing in the doorway as Mark opened his eyes. Glen nearly lost it.
He took a couple of quiet steps backwards until he got himself together. He was
too happy to see his best friend back with them. He grabbed his cell phone and
walked off to call Vince and tell them the great news. It was great news, I
smiled broadly as Mark moved his eyes to me and smiled at me. "Hey Dead Man.
Great to see you have rejoined us." He swallowed hard and spoke in a whisper. He
had to get his voice back, "Your.. a sight.. for sore.. eyes." I blushed a bit
and shook my head. "Yea you are Mark. Awake and going to be alright." I placed
my other hand upon his upper arm as he just smiled at me.
Glen came walking into the room as he stood next to me. I had moved the cot to
the side, so I just stood by the bed side. Mark looked to Glen as he released my
hand and Glen placed his in Mark's. "Good to have you back Brother. Been too
quiet around here without you." Mark nodded a bit and the smile never left his
face, "Good to know.. I wasn't missed at all..." Glen and I looked at one
another and then to him, "Of course you were missed Mark. You were missed by
everybody. So don't speak nonsense now." Mark nodded as Glen talked to him for a
bit. I left the room for the bathroom for a freshen up.
I walked back out as the doctor was in checking on Mark. He was just leaving the
room as I walked back in. Glen turned and looked to me, "You alright?" I nodded
and saw Mark sitting up in bed. "Well we are moving up in the world aren't we?"
Mark chuckled lightly and nodded. "Hey I have to sometime, don't I?" I nodded as
I chuckled lightly. Glen looked to Mark, "A few of the guys are coming up
tonight to see you. They have a show nearby. So they are stopping up to see how
your doing. Vince and everybody sends their hellos and such." Mark nodded.
Mark looked to me, "Glen told me you were here the whole time. You didn't have
to be Jamica, but it is appreciated. I guess I owe you both big time huh?" Glen
and I both shook our heads, "No you don't Mark. Just seeing you getting better
is the best way to repay us. It was no trouble. I couldn't leave my big brother
up here alone." I said as Mark wrapped his huge right arm around me and hugged
me. "You one of a kind Jamica." I nodded as I hugged him back, "Just having yah
back Dead Man is the best part."
Glen nodded, "I couldn't agree more with that statement."
Chapter 25
The guys did stop by that same night. That gave me time to duck out and get home
to shower and take care of the animals. I had headed inside to change and shower
then head on back to the hospital to stay with Mark for tonight. He would be
released tomorrow, hopefully if the doctor clears him. He would be staying here
with me until he was back on his feet. Mark and I got into a bit of an arguement
with that, but I insisted. He could help me in the bike garage while he
recovered. That changed his tune right away.
I ran a hot bath for me to soak in. I leaned against the sink and stared at
myself in the mirror hanging on the wall. I did look like hell. Without having
enough sleep or food, did take it's toll on me. I sighed as I rubbed the back of
my neck gently. Travander laid outside the semi closed bathroom door. He
followed me around the house 24/7. I didn't mind it at all. I got into the tub
and let the heat of the water just help me relax. It felt good to soak a bit,
knowing Mark was going to be alright.
I finished with my bath and got dressed into a pair of blue jeans, dark blue
Boston Red Sox t-shirt and was just finishing tieing my work boots. I slowly
stood up and felt the room spin. I leaned against the wall as I placed a hand
upon the side of my head. I closed my eyes and just waited until the spell went
away. I must of gotten up to quick. I opened my eyes and slowly took a step and
lost my footing and fell to my knees. I knew I wasn't going anywhere. Travander
whined and came over to me and licked my face. I sat upon the floor and leaned
my back up against the wall behind me and looked to Travander through half
opened eyes. "It's alright boy..." I swallowed hard and felt my hands starting
to become clammy feeling as I started to sweat bullets.
Travander licked my face and walked out of the room. He jumped up onto the table
in the hallway with his front paws and grabbed the phone and walked back to me
with it in his mouth. Jescio came padding in and sat down in the doorway as
Travander dropped the phone in my lap. At this time I just wanted to lay down
and sleep. It was sort of hard to keep breathing. I felt my heart pounding
against my ribs at a million miles an hour. I slid down and laid upon the floor.
The cool floor felt good against my face.
I grabbed the phone that Travander placed upon the floor near my head. I slid my
hand up and pressed buttons to turn the phone on and then I called Glen's cell
phone. I heard it ringing as I slowly closed my eyes, I was slowly loosing it.
Travander barked and pawed at me. Glen heard his cell phone ringing upon his
belt as he excused himself and walked into the hallway to take it. He picked his
phone up and heard a dog barking and whining. He moved the phone away from his
ear and looked at it funny, "Hello.. someone there?" he spoke into the phone,
once he brought it back to his ear. He could hear moaning through the phone as
the dog whined and barked a few more times. Glen thought this was sick joke by
one of the guys, but it wasn't.
He walked back into the room as he kept listening to the dog barking and whining
on his cell phone. He walked over to Mark and held the phone to his ear, "Listen
to this... Does that sound like one of Jamica's dogs barking?" Mark looked at
Glen like he was crazy and listened. He heard the same thing that Glen did,
moaning from a human and the dog barking and whining then the phone being kicked
across the phone.
Mark looked to Glen and nodded, "Yea that's a German Shepard bark. I can
recognize that anywhere. It does sound like.. What her dog's name..." Glen
thought for a moment and looked to Mark, "I know it was a unique name. She had a
rottie and shepard. Damn why can't I remember this.." Glen sighed as he cursed
at himself. It finally clicked into his mind. He took Glen's cell phone from him
as he held it to his ear, he could hear two dogs barking and whining and pawing
at something. He heard some heavy breathing near the phone, "Travander that
you.." The dog barked again as it settled down and sniffed the phone. Mark spoke
the dog's name again into the phone and the dog whined into the phone. Mark
looked to Glen, "Something's wrong. It's Travander and Jescio is in the room, I
think. I can't tell. But something is very wrong." Glen nodded as he left his
cell phone with Mark and left for the house.
Chapter 26
I heard a voice and Travander whining at it. I was confused as I tried to open
my eyes, but they felt so heavy. I tried lifting up my left hand and it felt
like a dead weight. It just fell to the floor. I moaned as I tried to move. I
was just too weak and didn't feel good enough to move myself. I felt a furry
body against mine, then a wet nose upon my hand as the body slid under my arm.
It was Jescio. My dogs were staying with me. I heard the phone moving across the
floor and roll to a stop near my head. Travander came walking over and licked my
face, "Stop it Travander..." I grumbled out and moved my face away from him.
"Jamica is that you?.. talk to me now" I listened to a voice and I recognized
it. I didn't know it was on the phone, "Mark.. that.. you?" I was really
confused of where I was.
Mark heard Jamica's voice. He sighed a bit softly though and talked into the
phone to me, "Yes it's me Jamica. Keep awake and talk to me now. Keep talking to
me." Mark felt helpless in not being able to do very much, but he knew he was
doing something by keeping me talking. He knew Glen would be there any time. "I
wanna sleep Mark..." "No your not going to sleep, you stay with me now. Come on
now. Don't give up with me, you didn't with me did you? Now come on Jamica talk
to me." Mark sort of felt panic started to fill him up, but he kept it under
control as he talked to me and kept me talking, we talked about motorcycles and
such. Between us talking and Travander licking my face, every time I started to
drift off. I stayed sort of awake until Glen arrived to the house.
Mark hung up the cell phone once he heard Glen's voice in the background.
Travander scooted to the other side of the doorway as Glen walked into the room
and knelt down beside me. He turned the phone off as he knelt down to me,
"Jamica what's wrong? Talk to me." Glen looked to me with concern. "I just want
to sleep. Nobody won't let me."
Glen picked me up into his arms. I was soaked with sweat. "You can't sleep
Jamica. Talk to me, come on..." I moaned as I curled up in his arms. Glen didn't
want to stay here for too long. He got to his feet and drove me to the hospital.
Leaving the house locked up with the dogs inside barking.
I slowly opened my eyes to a dark room. I felt better than I did before. I
slowly lifted up left hand and rubbed my eyes. I had an IV hooked up to my right
arm and oxygen I was breathing from a line up my nose. God I felt like a freight
truck hit me. I jumped as a voice sound, "Just lay still Jamica. Your alright.
I'm here." It was Glen's voice. I felt his hand upon mine as I sighed, "Where am
I and what happen?" I was sort of confused. "Your at the hospital and you went
into a sugar reaction. Did you know you were a diabetic?" I shook my head, "No I
didn't. That's what happen?" Glen leaned over and kissed my forehead. "Yea your
sugar was low and your body just reacted. With the last few days with no food or
sleep just made it worse. You'll be alright. The doctor wants you to stay over
night just to make sure your alright." I nodded and sighed as I curled up under
the blankets and sheets. It felt good to get some sleep and not have to worry
about anything.
Glen never let my hand go. He climbed into the bed next to me and sighed as he
held me close. The doctor said he could once he left the room and once I
awakened. All I needed was rest and a good meal and to make sure I keep an eye
on my sugar from now on. There was some noise as Glen lifted his head off the
pillow and the room door opened. The orderlies were rolling Mark into the room
in his bed and placing him next to mine in the room. Glen looked to me, I was
passed out. He looked to Mark as the orderlies walked out of the room closing
the door. Glen was happy that he was in the same room. Then he wouldn't have to
room hop. He settled down and sighed as he also got some sleep.
Chapter 27
I slept the whole night, without waking up with any nightmares. I slowly opened
my eyes as I yawned. I looked to Mark laying in his bed snoring away. I tried to
move and Glen had me in his arms as he slept. I sighed as I snuggled into him. I
just didn't want to move, I was too comfortable at this moment. Glen moved as he
slowly opened his hazel eyes. I looked up to his eyes and just couldn't help but
smile. He smiled to me and whispered, "Good morning there sunshine." I rolled my
eyes and nudged my head towards the snoring on the opposing side of the room.
"Oh yea it's real sunshine when your room mate is snoring away." Glen and I both
chuckled as Glen picked up a pillow and threw it at Mark.
Mark jumped as he sat up, totally confused on what just happen. He grabbed the
pillow and looked over towards Glen and I. "What was that for?" he asked, still
half a sleep. "You were snoring loud enough to wake the dead Mark. We had to
shut yah up somehow." Glen proclaimed as I was shaking my head. Mark just rolled
his eyes and looked to Glen, "You could of just came over and just shook me, not
thrown a pillow at me."
Glen shrugged, "The pillow was quicker than getting up and going over there to
shake your dead ass up." Mark nodded as he settled back down, "Your one lazy son
of a bitch yah know that." Glen nodded and snuggled with me. "Mhm. I didn't want
to distrub Jamica." I slowly rolled onto my side and looked to Mark, "Does
anybody have any idea how it is to be in the same room trying to sleep with the
both of you.. I rather deal with my dogs than the two of you." Glen sighed as he
rolled his eyes as Mark just grumbled to himself. "Good morning to you as well
Jamica." Mark grumbled out.
I sighed as I slowly sat up and adjusted myself upon the bed as the nurse came
in with two trays of breakfast and placed one in front of me and one in front of
Mark. The nurse stopped and took my blood sugar and nodded, "Your blood sugar is
a bit low. No worries once you eat, it should be good." I nodded as I dug into
my breakfast. Mark was already chowing down, like he hasn't been fed in ages.
Glen rubbed my back as I sat up and ate. I finished breakfast and laid back down
as I moved the tray out of my way and yawned as I cuddled back up with Glen. He
obliged me with a kiss upon my forehead and draped his arm over me. Mark
finished and turned on the TV low and watched ESPN Sports Center. Glen also got
caught up in watching as I just rested.
The doctor came in and checked us both out and we were released to go home. I
was given instructions and stuff to check my blood sugar and such like that.
Mark had instructions as well for himself. I scooted out of bed slowly and
walked my pokey ass into the bathroom to dress as Glen got himself up and going
and handed Mark his stuff that was stashed in the closet of the room. I came out
in my clothes from last night and sat down on the bed as I stretched and yawn. I
had my back to Mark as he got dressed to go home. I wasn't really paying
attention to anything really. We got the rest of things together and left back
for the house.
It felt great to be home. I was greeted by the dogs. I opened the door and they
practically ran me over and knocked me to the ground. The licked my face and
just wanted to make sure I knew how much they were worried and they missed me.
Glen helped Mark out of the truck as the dogs left me and ran to them. I wiped
the dog slobber off my face and headed inside. I plopped down on the couch for a
moment and left my back pack next to the couch. I sighed as I closed my eyes for
a moment as I heard, "I see someone is glad to be home." I opened my eyes and
smiled gently to Mark as he came walking into the house. Jescio came walking in
behind him. I slowly got to my feet and moved Jescio out of Mark's way. "Jescio
your gonna trip him. Hold up until he is sitting down, then he'll pet yah."
Jescio whined and sat down and waited until Mark sat down in the recliner and
called him over and gave him the attention he so wanted.
I walked over to the door and saw Glen standing on the porch with the bags next
to the door. I didn't see Travander anywhere. I walked onto the porch and
wrapped an arm around Glen's waist and slid myself under his arm. He looked down
at me and smiled, "Something on your mind Big Guy?" I asked. He shook his head,
"Nope. Just looking at the view that's all. You have a great home here Jamica.
Just feels good to have you both doing better and back here that's all." I
hugged him and sighed. "Sorry I gave you both a scare. I didn't know what was
wrong either. Now we know for the future." Glen leaned down and captured my lips
in a soft, delicate kiss. I sighed into the kiss as he pulled back and whispered
to me. "More where that came from later on tonight." I blushed with a devilish
smile upon my face.
I heard Mark walk out of the house behind me and placed a hand upon my shoulder.
I looked up to him and couldn't help but smile, "How yah doing Jamica?" he
asked. I nodded, "Better now that your back on your feet and home with two
gentleman that a big part of my life." I placed a hand upon Mark's and sighed as
I sat down on the porch steps, after slipping from Glen and removing my hand
from Mark's. I looked up to the both of them, "You two can stay here as long as
Vince will let you. It's open to you both if needed." Mark and Glen both nodded.
"I would say yes Jammer, but I got to get back to work. Vince wants me back in a
day or two." Glen said as he sighed. "You know I can't turn down an offer from
my little sister now can I. The doctor wants me to take it easy for at least a
week or two." Mark rubbed his goatee and I couldn't help but laugh. "Uh oh look
out, the devil himself is thinkin'." Glen couldn't help but laugh. Mark was
standing there looking innocent. "Who me? Naw never me." Glen and I just
couldn't help but laugh.
I got up off the stairs as I heard a truck pulling up with a black trailer being
pulled behind it. "Damn I almost forgot. Mr.Clemets is suppose to pick up his
bike tonight." I jogged over to the garage and opened it as older, stalky man
climbed out of the jet black Ford pickup and walked up to the garage. He was
dressed in his biker gear, which is blue jeans with black leather chaps over
them. Sleeveless jean shirt with a black Harley Davidson leather vest. His
short, silvery hair was slicked back behind a midnight blue bandana as he stood
leaning against the door frame. I pushed his bike over to him as he paid me for
the repairs and pushed his bike over to his trailer and loaded it up. I walked
over to him and gave him the key to the bike and he left.
Mark and Glen both came walking over and looked to me, "Who was that?" Glen
asked. "That was Mr.Clemets. I have been repairing his Harleys for about a
couple of years now. I just finished his bike last week and he came to pick it
up. He wanted to get some riding in." Mark slowly walked into the garage, a
little hesitaten then settled down as he walked over to the bike he was eyeing
before. It had a jet black tank with silver, and midnight blue flames covering
the tank and fenders. It was an older high handle bared Harley. I walked over to
the rack on the wall full of keys and grabbed a set. I placed them into my
pocket and watched Mark as he ran his finger tips over the bike, like it was
made of gold.
Glen stood at the doorway watching from behind me. I couldn't help but watch
Mark look at the bike. He was eyeing like a kid in a candy store. I walked over
to the garage door and opened it and looked to Mark. "Wanna take it for a ride?"
I asked. Mark looked to me, like to say 'who me'. He smiled and lifted a brow.
"You sure you want me riding this bike of yours?" I nodded as I leaned against
the door frame. "Who else would I rather have ride it?" I looked to Glen, "How
about you? Up for some riding?" Glen stood to his feet and nodded, "Sounds good
to me." He walked over to another bike that had a white tank with black and
maroon flames upon it. I walked over to a workbench full of different helmets. I
grabbed one and handed it to Mark. "Wear it, I don't care what you think." It
was only a half helmet, also known as a 'turtle shell'. Mark didn't argue as
Glen grabbed one as well so Mark wouldn't feel stupid with just him. They both
looked to me, "Are you coming Jamica?" I shook my head, "No I will let you two
go. I think I will work on the chopper while your gone. Go and get lost." I
tossed them both a set of keys and they started the bikes. I sighed as I
listened to the revving of the bike's engines. It was music to anybody who loved
bikes ears. They both took off out of the garage and out of the driveway.
I sighed as I walked over to the almost finished chopper and started in on
working on it once again. I needed to finish the wiring, which was time
consuming. I got bored after awhile of working, so I decided to put on a CD. I
put on Kid Rock's self titled album, that I just picked up the other day. I
cranked it as I grabbed a bottle of water out of the frig and went back to work.
Some time later I heard the guys returning on the bikes. They rolled up to the
garage and backed them in. I walked over to the stereo and turned it down and
went back to work. They turned off the bikes and removed the helmets and placed
them back upon the bench. I finished wiring the chopper finally and looked up to
them. Mark sat upon the bike and just admired himself upon it. Glen placed the
bike upon it's kick stand and walked over and handed me the keys. "How was the
ride?" I asked. "It was fantastic. It was something we both needed." He leaned
down and kissed my lips softly. I smiled and looked to Mark. "How about you Dead
Man?" He looked to me after jumping a bit, I must of caught him out of his
thoughts. "You know me Jamica. I love to ride, but this bike is a smooth
ride..." Glen chuckled "Yes same with the bike I rode. It's smooth and rides
like it's gliding on ice. You are great at repairing these Jamica. It's a great
talent." I nodded as I wiped my hand on a rag. "Thanks. I love doing this
instead of working as a lackey. But the other job gives me more of a pay than
what I do here." Glen nodded as Mark slowly stood up and just kept his eyes on
the bike.
Glen shook his head as he just watched Mark. I lowered the lift that my chopper
sat on and grabbed some oil to fill it up and the gas. I filled the bike and
looked to Mark. "The chopper is complete. If you would like to do the honors of
starting it up first Mark." Mark turned around and looked to me as he walked
over slowly. "Are you sure Jamica?" He was sort of hesitant in taking the key
from me. I placed the key in his hand and nodded, "I want you to start it Mark."
He nodded as he placed the key in the ignition and sighed as he looked to me,
"Fire in the hole." I nodded as he turned the key.
It didn't fire up, it wanted to kick over but it didn't start and keep going.
Mark stopped trying as he looked to Jamica. "I'm sorry Jamica." I sighed as I
shook my head. "Not your fault Mark. I guess I just can't make bikes from
scratch yet." I shook my head as I walked out of the garage. Glen and Mark both
stood there and didn't know what to say.
Chapter 28
Mark looked to Glen and proclaimed, "Why don't you go after her?" Glen shook his
head, "No, just leave her be. She'll be alright. I guess it's just a
disappointment to her that it didn't work after all that hard work." Mark nodded
as he looked to the bike. "Too damn bad it didn't kick over. Nice lookin' bike
too." Glen nodded as they both walked away and up to the house. I was sitting at
the kitchen table flipping through some books that were scattered amongst the
table top. I leaned back in the chair I was sitting in as Glen and Mark entered
the room. Mark stopped in the doorway and looked to all the manuals scattered
about the table. Glen walked over to me and placed his hands upon my shoulders
and leaned down to my ear and looked to me. "You alright Jamica?" I nodded as I
looked up to him. "Yes I am. I just came in here to look through the manuals for
a clue on what's wrong with the bike. I am sort of disappointed that it didn't
kick over. Something isn't right, I just don't know what. I might have to take
that whole engine apart and start again." I leaned my head into my hands and
shook my head. Glen patted my shoulders as Mark left the room.
"We'll figure it out Jamica. Just not tonight. Come on let's just relax and we
will start fresh on it in the morning." I looked to Glen and nodded as I got up
from the chair and headed upstairs. Glen followed and stopped in the living room
and looked around for Mark. He was no where to be found. Glen just shrugged and
headed upstairs. I was already in the shower when he made it to the second
floor. He headed to the bedroom and rummaged through his bag for a pair of sweat
pants to wear to bed.
The shower felt good, it helped clear my head. I was disappointed about the
bike, but you can't win all battles. I am just sick and tired of coming out on
the loosing end of things lately. It's all it seemed to be with me, well except
with Glen of course, with him everything was just damn perfect. I wish I could
get my life together so it wouldn't be so rough for him. I walked out of the
bathroom and into the bedroom and saw Glen sitting on the bed staring out the
window. I had only a large dark blue towel wrapped around me. I jumped at the
sight of Glen behind me, "My god Glen. I didn't even know you were there." Glen
looked to me, "Sorry I was waiting for the bathroom and got caught up in my
thoughts." His eyes wander up and down Jamica in just a towel, he felt himself
starting to come to life within the confinements of his blue jeans. He slowly
stood up and left the room for a shower, this time he would need a cold shower.
I rummaged through my dresser and finally found a pair of shorts and a black
t-shirt. I slipped them on and climbed into bed and snuggled down into the
blankets and such. I heard the water go off as Glen was just finishing up his
shower. A few minutes later I heard the bed sag beside me and a huge arm drape
over me. I snuggled into him and sighed, "Now this is more like it." He leaned
forward and kissed the back of my neck. "You can say that again." I giggled
lightly. He had grown a goatee since the last time I saw him and it tickled the
back of my neck. Glen looked to me like I lost my mind. "Something tickling your
fancy?" he asked. I turned myself onto my side to face him and looked up to him
and nodded, "Yes your goatee tickled the back of my neck when you kissed me." He
chuckled lightly and ran his hand over it, "Sorry. It's been awhile since we've
been together I guess huh." I nodded and cuddled into him. Glen laid on his back
as I draped an arm over him and used him as a pillow instead.
Glen rubbed my back gently as we just laid there and enjoyed one another's
company. Glen sighed deeply then spoke, "Did you see where Mark disappeared
too?" I shook my head and looked up to him, "No I didn't. Why do you ask?" He
shrugged a bit, "He's been acting funny that's all. Maybe it's just him. I don't
know." I sat up a bit and leaned my weight upon him a bit, just enough for me to
look at him and not to hurt him. "Don't worry Glen. He'll come around, just give
him some time to get himself together. Maybe being here while he heals, will do
him some good. Then he'll return to work a whole new person. You wait and see."
He looked to me and smiled. "I wish I didn't have to go back to work so soon,
but Vince needs one of us back." I nodded, "I understand. Once Mark can return
to work, I will be following him. I don't think he should be alone right now."
Glen nodded, "I agree. Ever since that incident with Sara and everything, he
hasn't been himself. Maybe it's just a phase." I nodded and leaned down to
capture his lips softly in a passionate kiss. Glen obliged by kissing me back
and wrapping his arms gently around me.
The kiss got a little more intense, with Glen sliding the tip of his tongue
across my lips. I couldn't help but open my mouth for better access. We both
explored one another's mouth, slowly, taking in every little detail. I ran my
hands over his muscular chest and abs. I couldn't believe how huge he was, in
the muscle category I mean. His body shivered under my touch as he slowly snaked
his hands under my shirt to caress my soft skin with his hands. I slowly pulled
away and looked into his hazel eyes. They were dark with lust and want, that is
what I wanted to see in his eyes, cause mine told him the same thing. I could
feel heat radiating from between my legs. I slowly sat up and climbed onto him
and straddled him. I really couldn't but I did my best.
Glen couldn't help but let his eyes wander over Jamica's body. She was very
beautiful. A real woman he hopefully would spend the rest of his life with. She
was the type a woman he was looking for. Hopefully he was the man for her. He
placed his hands upon her hips and watched as she removed his t-shirt that
covered her body. Jamica did it as a strip tease, that really got him hot and
antsy for her more and more.
'She is such a damn tease' he thought as he let his hands wander over her silky,
soft skin. He couldn't help but run his hands over her breasts. Jamica sucked in
air sharply as he ran over her nipples and they became hard instantly. She
blushed a bit at that, as Glen chuckled lightly and sat himself up on the bed
and started to slowly torture the pink mounds with his finger tips very gently.
Jamica closed her eyes as the heat from between her legs got hotter, if it
weren't for the shorts Glen probably would of known she was already wet and
ready for him.
Glen leaned his head forward as he clenched one of her nipples in his mouth and
tortured it even more with his seductive tongue. I thought I was going to loose
it right then and there. I let my hands wander over his muscular body. He
shivered once again under my hands. I raked my nails gently over his skin. I
heard him moan lightly as it sent chills up and down his spine. I smiled
devilishy as I moved my hands down below his waist. He was already standing at
attention for me. I slid my hands under the band of his pants and caressed his
hard erection with my finger tips. I felt him shiver more at each touch I made.
I couldn't help but torture this man.
Glen lifted his head up and looked to me as he lifted a brow, "Does someone love
to be a teaser than the teased?" I opened my eyes and looked to him and nodded
with the devilish smile still plastered on my face. I pushed him back down
gently. Glen leaned back down as I moved myself down between his legs. I pushed
his muscular legs apart some so I could fit there. I was under the covers as I
pulled his pants down to bring his hard erection into my view. I removed his
pants completely from his legs and slid my hand out from under the covers to the
side and dropped them to the floor. I could feel Glen quivering under the
anticipation of my torture. I placed my hands upon his thighs and ran my nails
along the insides of them. He jumped a bit, as his erection came to life more as
it grew before my eyes. He was huge, my lord, I hope I could fit him, if not I
wouldn't care, just as long as he was enjoying himself, I was enjoying myself.
Glen finally relaxed as he gripped the sheets with his hands as I grasped his
erection in my tiny hands. I leaned my head forward and blew warm light air upon
it. All I heard was a soft moan from him. I lifted a brow and couldn't help but
giggle lightly at his reaction. I did it a couple of more times, then I slowly
lowered my mouth to the tip of his cock. I whirled the tip of my tongue around
the tip. I was already driving him nuts, I just had gotten started. I ran my
left index finger nail up and down his shaft, very softly and gently as my right
hand gently caressed his balls. Glen's moans got louder as I slid him into my
mouth more. I whirled my tongue up and down his shaft as he tried to buck his
hips towards my mouth. I placed both my hands upon his hips as I knew he was
near the edge. I stopped so he wouldn't go any farther.
I slowly slid myself up from under the sheets and looked to him. He was red in
the face and his eyes were closed as I sat up straddling him and I couldn't get
but keep the devil's grin upon my face, "Did I bring the big, bad Big Man to
life and stop?" I couldn't help but giggle. He opened his eyes and just nodded,
"Oh yea you did baby. You almost made me cum, why did you stop?" He gave me
pleading eyes. I couldn't help but melt with that look. I slowly lifted myself
up as his hands took my hands away from the band on my shorts, "No please let
me." I nodded as I moved as he removed my shorts. I went comando in my shorts,
he lifted a brow to that, "You are the first woman I've seen do that." I looked
to him, "Am I huh?" Glen smiled like a kid in a candy store, "Less cover to hide
your beauty from me." I nodded as his hands caressed the insides of my thighs. I
couldn't help but let a soft moan escape. I spread my legs a bit as his left
hand found my hot, moist, private area on my whole body. He ran his index finger
over my clit, it made me jump. "Oh did I find someone's sensitive spot?" I
growled a bit at him as an answer.
Glen slid his finger down to her entrance. He felt the hot moist core of her. He
knew she was ready for him. He brought his hand away and placed them on either
of her sides and placed her on the bed beside him. Jamica opend her eyes and
looked to Glen as he rolled onto his side to face her. I couldn't help but lean
my head forward and clenched his lips in a very passionate kiss. Glen slid
himself forward towards me as I felt his erection hit my sensitive spot down
between my legs. I lifted my leg up and placed it upon his hip, so my legs were
spread apart. He lowered his hand and placed his cock in my entrance and slowly
slid himself into me. I slowly held my breath, I was going to release in my
throat as he slowly and gently slid himself fully into me. Glen pulled back from
the kiss and looked to me, "You alright?" he whispered. My eyes were closed and
nodded gently. Glen leaned his head forward and slowly started kissing my neck.
He didn't move other wise, to let me stretch to fit him and get use to his size.
I moved my head to the side to give him better access to my neck.
I slowly started to move my hips, sliding myself up and down his shaft. My god,
I couldn't describe the feeling of this, let's just say it was the most
beautiful thing I have ever felt in my life between my legs. It was just raw
power, muscle and man, what else would a woman want. Glen moved his hips at the
same rhymth I was going as he trailed his kisses up my jaw line to my lips. The
kisses got more demanding along with the thrusts of passion going on between us.
The kissing got harder and demanding as the thrusts got harder and faster. I
could feel beads of sweat starting to form upon my forehead and upon Glen's as
well. He leaned his head upon my shoulder with his mouth next to my ear. He was
whispering dirty things to me, my Lord, where has this man been all my life. I
listened as I picked up the pace, I was almost into the abyss of no return. "Can
you cum for me baby.. Can I feel you cover my cock with your sweetness?" he
asked. I slid up and down his shaft a few more times and then, I was lost in the
abyss of passion between Glen and I. He thrusted a few more times as he finally
released inside of me and got lost along with me in our passion abyss.
Things settled down after we were just laying there, wrapped in one another's
arms. Glen pulled out of me and pulled back the sheets for the cool breeze
coming in through the slightly open window. Thank god I had no close neighbors.
I needed also to be uncovered for awhile, that was the most heated sex, I have
ever encountered. I slowly slid myself out of the bed and grabbed my t-shirt and
threw it on me. I felt weak and light as a feather at the same time. Glen put
some shorts on and looked to me, "Jamica you alright?" I nodded as I slowly got
to my feet, "I think I need to eat something small and check my sugar. I think
it's low." Glen nodded as he helped me downstairs to the kitchen. He sat me down
and made me a sandwich to eat and I took my blood to test it as he made the
sandwich. It was a bit low, so I needed to eat and test it again and see
afterwards. He placed the sandwich in front of me and I just dove in. He made
himself one and stood still for a moment. I did my blood suagr again and it was
better and I looked to him. "What's wrong Glen?" I asked. He looked to me and
then out the window to the garage. "I thought I heard noises. I found where Mark
went. He's tinkering around in your garage." I shrugged. "I don't care. I trust
him, it's keeping him occupied ain't it?" Glen chuckled a bit and nodded, "Yes
it is." We finished in the kitchen and headed back upstairs for some more
nightly fun.
Chapter 29
A few days later Glen left to go back on the road. It was just Mark and I left
on the ranch. I didn't see Mark much since the night the bike didn't start. He
had been working in the garage late at night and slept late into the day. Glen
was getting worried by the time he left. I told him not to be, Mark will turn
around. I promised I would call him or he would call me every night to check on
things while he was gone. Glen would return in two weeks.
I was out in the barn just finishing up grooming the horses when Mark came
walking in. He leaned against the fence of one of the stalls as I looked over to
him. He had the biggest grin on his face. I lifted a brow and looked to him,
"Something on your mind?" He nodded a bit, "I was wondering if you would follow
me to the garage for a moment. I have something to show you. If your not busy
that is." I shook my head and followed him to the garage. The chopper I was
working on for so long was off the lift as Mark stopped in the doorway of the
garage. He looked to me and dropped the keys into my hands, "Starter up." I
looked to him funny, "It's not gonna start Mark. We all know it won't." He shook
his head, "Just trust me Jamica. Go ahead and start it." I sighed and nodded as
I walked over to the bike and placed the key into the ignition. I closed my eyes
as I turned the key.
The bike started right up and purred like a kitten. I opened my eyes in shock.
"Huh?.. How can it be?.. This bike was dead a few nights ago.." My head whipped
around and looked to Mark, "Is this what you've been doing in here late at
night?" He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame and
nodded. "Yes. I wanted to surprise you and see what I could do to it. You just
had a bit of a problem in the engine, nothing big, anybody could of done it." I
turned the bike off and tackled Mark to the ground and hugged him like mad.
"Thanks Dead Man. You don't know how much that means to me."
He chuckled lightly as he laid on the ground. "I didn't expect this kind of
thank you, but your welcome Jamica. Let's just say we're even now." I looked to
him and nodded. "It's a deal." I got up and helped him to his feet.
I walked over to the frig and grabbed two beers and walked over to him and
handed him one. I sat upon the work bench as Mark sat down on a nearby stool.
"Mark you are a saint sometimes you know that?" He lifted a brow and chuckled
lightly and then took a sip of his beer. "Don't say that too loud or around any
of the guys. They will think I gone soft in the head." I chuckled and shook my
head, "It's our little secret." He nodded as he looked to the ground lost in
thought I think. "Penny for your thoughts Dead Man?" He looked to me and
shrugged a bit. "You could say that I guess."
I looked to him, "Come on Mark. You have never held anything from me. You talk
to me more than anybody in the federation. Don't hide what's bothering you." He
nodded as he looked to me, "I guess you could say that I am worried about Sara
coming to find me again and or hitting me with some kind of law suit. She is
that type of woman to try and get her way with anything. I shouldn't worry, but
I do." I hopped off the bench and dragged a nearby stool and sat in front of him
and placed my hand upon his knee and looked to him. "No need to worry about her
Mark. She ain't worth the dirt you walk on. She is nothing. She moved on even
before you two were offically divorced. You'll find someone, just give yourself
time to get yourself back together and clear your mind. Someone will come along
for you. I promise." He looked to me with a small smile upon his face, "Your
right Jamica. I guess it just that all that has happened, just got me thinking
about bit that's all. I shouldn't let it bother me your right. I should enjoy my
so called vacation and then return to the federation with a clear mind and
concentration." I nodded and patted his knee as I got up, "Now that's the Dead
Man I know." I tossed my empty beer can into the garbage as I felt a pair of
huge tattooed arms wrap around me, hug me then release me. "Thanks for the pep
talk Jamica. I appreciate it." I looked to him and shook my head, "It was
nothing Mark. You just needed to hear it from someone else close to you that's
all."
Mark nodded as I stood there and then just remembered something, "Oh yea I
almost forgot. I wanted to know if you rode quads." Mark laughed and shook his
head, "That is the most funny question I have ever been asked. Jamica you should
know, anything with wheels I can practically ride. Why do you ask?" I chuckled
lightly as I grabbed my full helmet, which was jet black with wolves air brushed
upon it. "Well there are two in the back parked in the barn, with alot of acres
calling my name to ride. I was wondering if you rode and if you did, Mr.Smart
Ass and wanted to join me." He nodded as I grabbed another jet black helmet and
tossed it to him. "Helmets are warn on this ranch." Mark sighed and placed the
helmet under his arm and followed me out to the barn. I opened the big sliding
door and revealed two quads parked to the right side of the door. One was red
and one blue. I tossed Mark a key to one and I got the other. "You choose and
let's ride." Mark caught the key and walked over to the blue one. I got the red
and climbed on and started it up.
I placed my helmet upon the handle bars in front of me until we got to the
trails we needed to follow.
We pulled out of the barn and I lead the way to the trails through the woods on
my property out back. I stopped and looked to Mark, he had his helmet off like I
did and stopped next to me. "Follow me and just keep an eye open, I haven't been
on these trails in awhile. So just be careful." He nodded as I placed my helmet
on and took off. Mark followed behind me. It felt great to be out in the woods
just tearing up the dirt. The trails in some spots were wide enough for side by
side riding and other you had to be single file. The sun was starting to set as
we reached a part of the trail that you could walk up a small hill to see the
sunset. I slid to a hault and waited for Mark to catch up. I turned off the bike
and removed the helmet and looked to him, "Come on I have something to show
you." He nodded as he removed the helmet and slowly got up and stretched his
legs. I led him up the small hill and stood over look a little valley to the sun
that was just starting to set. "This is my favorite place on the whole ranch
besides the garage with the bikes." Mark stood there and took in the whole
sight. "I thought taken you here, would help clear your mind Mark. It does with
me a lot." He nodded as he placed his helmet upon a near rock and walked to
almost the edge and sat down and just took everything slowly with no words. I
sat upon a rock and let the gentle warm breeze lift my hair up and run across my
sweaty brow from the helmet. "That breeze feels great up here."
Mark looked over to her and nodded. "I will admit it feels great. It beats being
on the road and such all the time. I sometimes hate traveling for long periods
of time and not being able to be home like this." I nodded and stood up to my
feet and walked over to him. I knelt down nearby as I took in the view myself.
"I know what you mean. I knew Glen before I got to working for you. He was
practically the only person who was a friendly to me, besides a few of the other
guys. They were because of I was their lacky you can say. I don't like what I do
sometimes, but once Vince gave me the job to take care of your bikes, my heart
jumped in my chest to the opportunity to do something I love, since I can't do
what I first loved." Mark looked to me as he listened and then asked, "What was
your first love before motorcyle repair Jamica?" I looked to him and sighed,
"Well Mark, when I tell people this they just laugh and say it's a man's sport.
But not anymore it's not. What you do for a living was my first love Mark." He
looked at me like I was a bit crazy and sat up from leaning on his elbow and
looked to me, "You use to wrestle for a living." I nodded and picked at the
grass in front of me. "Yes I used to. But not anymore. I decided a new course of
actions, I couldn't wrestle anymore anyways. My shoulder is so beyond repair
that I sometimes have a hard time in doing my job I have now. But they tolerate
me." Mark looked to me as he thought for a moment.
I looked to him as he looked at me. "Wait a minute. I have seen you somewhere
before... Oh Yes you were suppose to be one of the new recruits, Vince was going
to sign from a dark federation. Glen and I went with VInce to scout a few new
talent and you were one of them. You were great in the ring, but what happen?" I
shook my head, "Let's just say my manager, which you already know as well,
Jackle, screwed me over big time and I didn't know it until it was too late. I
ended up disappearing from wrestling all together to heal and got myself
together and got a new job. Vince knows everything and gave me the job I have
now and then some." Mark nodded and couldn't help but ask, "What happen to your
shoulder Jamica?" I had a t-shirt over a tank top, so I removed my t-shirt and
showed him the scars that was on my left shoulder from the multiple surgeries I
had. A huge scar ran from my collar bone along the top of my shoulder to the top
of the arm. I had a few in the back above, on and below the shoulder blade as
well.
Mark slowly let his eyes wander over the scars that my shoulder carried. He
looked to me, "All of those are from.." "Repair surgeries to help get bones
together and get some mobility. I can move it but not all the way around like a
normal shoulder can move. I have my points that I can only go so far and that's
it." He nodded as I placed my shirt back on. "Is that why you wear t-shirts alot
to hide the scars?" I nodded, "Yes that is why. I don't need alot of questions
or people staring. I don't like that too much." Mark nodded and looked to the
view while he spoke, "I'm sorry Jamica. I never knew what happen. Vince came to
Glen and I one day and told us one of the new recruits disappeared and was never
heard from. I wish I knew what happen and I could of helped yah." I shook my
head, "No Mark. There would of been nothing you nor Glen could of done. It was
something I had to go through alone and get myself together." He nodded, "I
understand. Like I am doing now, getting my mind and the rest of myself together
before I go back myself." I nodded, "I know what your going through Mark. It's
not fun doing it alone, but when it came to me, I had to. That's why I am here
to help you, I hate to see you go through this alone. I hate to see you hurt
physically, mentally and emotionally by her. She ain't worth the air she breaths
according to me. Your better than her Mark and you deserve a helleva a lot more
than her." Mark looked to me surprised. I blushed a bit and sighed, "Sorry I got
carried away. But you see my point right?" He nodded. I smiled a bit to him and
patted his knee as I got up, "We better head back before it gets pitch black.
The trails are nasty when it's pitch black out." I helped Mark to his feet. He
placed his arm across my shoulders as we walked back to the quads and headed
back home.
Chapter 30
A few days later, Mark started to finally be himself, instead of moping around.
It was good to see him joking around and being himself with the attitude. It was
somewhat greatly missed. I was sitting at the work bench in the garage making
part orders, cause business had picked up for repairs since I have returned home
and I didn't have all the parts to complete the repairs, when Mark came
strolling into the garage. I held my hand up to tell him to hold on. I wrote a
few things down and hung up the phone, "well it looks like someone is in a good
mood today." I looked to him.
He smiled and shrugged a bit, "Well someone gave me a swift kick in the ass that
I've been needing that's all." I couldn't help but chuckle at that. "What are
you up too?" he asked.
"Ordering parts for some of the bikes I need to repair. Business has picked up
by word of mouth all of a sudden and I have a lot of work and not enough parts.
They will be here this afternoon." I sighed as I turned on the stool I was
sitting on. "I just didn't see this amount of work coming to me, well until now.
I got to go back on the road in two days and so don't you, but I don't know
anymore." Mark walked over to me and placed a hand upon my shoulder, "But what
Jamica? You havin' second thoughts about working for the federation anymore?" I
nodded and got to my feet and removed his hand from my shoulder and walked over
to the open garage door and leaned against the door frame.
"Been thinking about it for awhile. But I don't want to loose all the friends
and family that I have gained over the years since working there. I just don't
see me going no where with that job. I enjoy it don't get me wrong, but this is
what I enjoy more. Fixing bikes and getting dirty." Mark walked over to me and
removed his sunglasses and looked to me, "You won't be loosing me and I don't
think Glen or nobody Jamica. If you do, they weren't real friends. You do what
makes you happy and I will respect that and follow through with it." I looked to
him with a gentle smile, "I hope your right Mark. Only thing is, telling Glen
now." Mark chuckled a bit, "He'll understand. Just tell him the truth and he
will understand." I nodded and patted Travander's head as he came up to me and
sat down next to me.
The delivery came right on time to the garage as I got started on the work. Mark
unpacked the parts for me and knew where everything goes. The dogs laid in the
doorway of the garage out of the way as I tinkered with a Harley engine on a
customer's bike. Mark had left for town to do a couple of things for himself,
before heading back on the road. I heard the dogs growling a bit as I looked up
from behind a bike to a gentleman approaching the garage. The gentleman was
hesitant cause of the dogs. The gentleman was about 6'1 in height and well
built. He wore blue jeans and a white collared shirt. He looked casual and
carried a brief case. "Hello...Anybody here.. I am looking for Bike Keeper
Jammer.." The gentleman frightenly spatted out. I slowly stood up, wiping my
hands upon a rag as I walked over and dogs calmed down. "Sorry about the dogs. I
am Jamica, you just said my nickname Jammer, but I have never been called Bike
Keeper Jammer. But is there something I can help you with?" The gentleman looked
to me and opened his briefcase briefly and pulled out some papers and handed
them to me. "Yes I was referred here by some local bikers that you are the best
bike repairer around. These are papers for a bike I want to build and I was
hoping you would do it." I looked to the papers, they were plans for a chopper.
"These are plans for a chopper. I don't build bikes, I repair them or
refurbish." I looked to the gentleman. "I would say yes, but as you can see I
don't have the space nor anything like that to do all the work that you want for
this bike."
Mark came pulling up in my black pick up truck as I was talking to the
gentleman. "If you consider in taking the job, I will pay you for everything,
parts, labor, time everything. I want the bike plain and simple. If you are not
interested then I can take my business else where." Mark climbed out of the
truck and walked over to us and looked to the gentleman. The gentleman started
to shake at the sight of Mark before him. I looked to him, "Sir, I understand.
But like I said I don't have the space and such to this kind of job." I implied
as I flipped through the plans and then looked to him. The gentleman looked to
Mark as I held back my laughter. "I understand your situation. If I find you the
space or whatever will you do the job." I felt my heart jump at the opportunity
and then spoke, "Sure I will. This for personal use or business?" I looked to
the man and invited him into the shop. He nodded as he walked in and sat upon a
stool I offered him.
"Thank you. It's for a business. We do alot of shows and such and we need a way
to advertise our company. We thought making a chopper would be the way to do it.
We came up with plans and we went to see about a local dealer.. Well your name
kept coming up among the local bikers here. So here I am.." I nodded as the
gentleman leaned his hand out, "Sorry for being so rude I am Avis Bennet. I am
here on behalf of the American Welding Company. I am also the CEO's assistant."
My jaw just dropped as he introduced himself, I took his hand and shook it
gently as Mark came walking over and sat down in the background listening. "You
know who we are?" I nodded. "Yes I use all your welding products and you are
very popular amongst repair shops." Avis smiled as I sat myself down and placed
the plans upon the work bench. "Alright Mr.Bennet you got yourself a bike
builder." Avis nodded with delight. "That's great. I am sorry to burst in on you
like this. I will leave the plans with you and my business card and we will be
in touch with you Ms.Jammer." I chuckled a bit as he handed me his business
card. "It's just Jammer please." Avis nodded as he left.
Mark stood up and removed his sunglasses once again and looked to me with a
smile upon his face, "It sounds like you got yourself a niche huh?" I looked to
him and nodded, "It's the big break that I've been needing Mark. Problem is I
don't have that kind of place to do that kind of stuff. This place is too small
as it is." Mark nodded and started to thinking for a moment. "I think I know
just the place Jamica. I saw a run down repair shop in town that was for sale.
Why don't we go take a look at it and see what you think and go from there." I
looked at Mark like he was nuts and nodded, "Well it won't hurt but to go and
look. I need more room as you can see, but I am a little afraid of about taking
it to the next step." Mark laid a hand upon my shoulder, "You are not doing it
alone." I nodded as I got to my feet and closed up the garage and put the dogs
in the house and left to town to take a look at the place for sale.
Chapter 31
We arrived at the shop for sale in town. It was in a great location, in the
middle of town. The town was small, but alot of people drove through to get to
the other towns down the road a ways. I climbed out of the truck, after parking
on the street and walked over to one of the windows and looked in. It looked
perfect to me, but the building needed repairs and updating. I walked back to
the truck as Mark was leaning against the side of it. I took out a small note
pad and took down the information to give the owner or whoever a call about it.
I tossed the pad and pen up on the dash and just shook my head. Mark looked to
me and lifted a brow, "Something wrong Jamica?" I nodded a bit and looked to
him, "Look at this place Mark. I couldn't afford buying it and updating in time
to build the welding company's chopper. No way in hell I could pay for
everything. I don't make enough, I am just ring crew I ain't the talent. I am
going to have to give this some thought before I jump and see what I can do, if
I can buy the place even." We climbed in the truck and drove home in silence.
We arrived back at the ranch. I made my way into the barn to do chores and such,
then get something to eat and then back to repair work on the bikes in the
garage. I cooked up some dinner and looked around for Mark. I found him in the
living room with a notebook making notes in it while on the phone. He got off
when I spoke to him, "Dinner's ready if your hungry Mark." He jumped and closed
the note book and placed it upon the coffee table and got to his feet. He had
sort of a small smile on his face, "How did you know I was hungry?" I shrugged,
"I don't know. But I know I need to eat." I walked back into the kitchen and
brought the plates of food to the table and took my blood sugar before joining
Mark at the table to eat.
It has been an up hill battle to learn and stable my blood sugar, since I was
diagnosed with it. But I am finally getting the hang of it and the sort of diet
I am on for life practically. I joined Mark to eat and I ate lost in my own
thoughts. "I can help you on the bike repairs in the garage if you want after
dinner." I jumped a bit as I finished my dinner and looked to Mark. "No that's
alright Mark. You relax. Repairing the bikes is like my time to just let my mind
wander and think." "You sure?" I nodded as I slowly stood up and took my dishes
into the kitchen and cleaned them up, then headed out to the garage and started
in on finishing the bike I started on earlier. Mark finished up and headed out
to sit on the front porch as he got back on his phone with the notebook open in
his lap and a pen in hand.
I yawned as I shook my head to get my eyes to straighten out so I could
continue. I finished up what I had started and slowly stood up and felt the pain
run through my knees and back. "Time to quit for the night." I grumbled and
grabbed a nearby rag and wiped my hands and sighed as I tossed the rag upon a
nearby bench and turned off the lights and closed up the garage for the night. I
trudged myself up into the house and up for a shower. I was tired and just
didn't want to admit it, but I was, probably looked it as well. I didn't see
Mark as I kicked my boots into my bedroom and went for a shower. I finished my
shower and wrapped a towel around me and headed for my bedroom.
I slipped into my bedroom as Travander slipped in behind me and hopped up on the
bed and made himself at home. I dropped the towel and got dressed into my shorts
and black t-shirt. I yawned and stretched as I got into bed and curled up and
fell asleep, with Travander laying beside me.
Chapter 32
The next morning I was awaken by Travander growling at my bedroom door. I slowly
slid out of bed and let him out of the room. He started barking from top the
stairs, he was probably trying to play with Jescio or get him up. I closed my
door and went back to bed. I wasn't feeling too good, so I thought maybe some
more sleep would help. I climbed back in bed as Travander kept on barking. I
yelled at him to shut up. He quieted down a bit as I was just falling back to
sleep and he started up again.
I climbed out of bed and got dressed quickly into a pair of blue jeans and a
black Harley Davidson t-shirt and left my room. Travander was standing at the
top of the stairs barking and growling as I walked over to him. I looked down
the stairs and there laid Jescio at the bottom of the stairs. I ran down the
stairs as Travander nipped at my heels. I knelt down as I checked on Jescio. He
was responding to nothing. I looked around for Mark. I sent Travander to his
bedroom door to get him awake, not much didn't wake that man when he slept. I
sighed as I heard something from the back room towards the back of the house.
Rumbling noises. I left Jescio's side as Travander was getting Mark. I slowly
slid to the ajared door of the room and saw two men rummaging through the room.
I slid away quickly and out of view.
I listened and the men started talking in whispers. I knew who it was and they
were nailed. Jackle and Wales got out of jail somehow and now were trying to rip
me off. There was no window out of that room. So I knew what to do. I walked
over to the door and closed it quickly and made sure they couldn't open the
door. I heard pounding on the other side of the door as Travander came bounding
down the stairs and slid around the corner and sniffed at the door. "Open the
door Jamica. I know it's YOU!" Jackle growled as he pounded the door. I backed
away from the door and back to the foot of the stairs and knelt down next to
Jescio's body.
Travander came trotting back over and sat down next to me with his chin upon my
shoulder. I grabbed the nearby phone as I called the police to report I had two
cons in my house trying to rob me. I hung up with them and knew Mark wasn't
around. He would of followed Travander downstairs if he was here. I didn't know
what to do. I slowly picked up the huge rottie and just held him in my arms.
There was nothing I could do for him. I knew who hurt him and left him for dead,
I was bound and determine to kill them myself. I heard the door break as I
jumped and Travander growled, but didn't run off he stayed by my side.
Jackle and Wales came stomping out and were armed once again with a lead pipe
and a metal chain. They stopped before me as I got to my feet and stood my
grounds. "Why aren't you running Jamica? Your good at that..." Wales snickered.
I snorted, "I am sick and tired of running from you. I am not afraid of you. You
two had taken my dog away from me and my life. NO MORE! You two are going to pay
for what you have done to me and my family." Travander was at my side and
charged at Wales and I went charging for Jackle as I heard the police pulling
up. We both knocked them to the ground as I just beat the crap out of Jackle and
Travander took a bite out of crime. Let's just say Wales won't be using his
right hand for quite awhile.
The police pounded on the door as I left Jackle unconscious and ran for the
door. Travander backed off and came to my side, leaving Wales rolling in pain. I
opened the door and pointed to Wales and Jackle laying upon the floor. They were
cuffed and arrested and taken out of the house. I went to Jescio's side and
picked him up into my arms. It all finally hit me, I just let the tears and
everything I was holding back, just flow out of my body. Travander sat with his
chin upon my shoulder and whined a few times. I slowly got to my feet carrying
Jescio's limp body in my arms out the back door and out to the backyard. I
walked far to the edge of the field and laid Jescio into the grass.
Blinded by my tears that stung my eyes, I left Travander with Jescio as I walked
to the barn for a shovel. I saw my pickup pulling up as the police were wrapping
up their job here. I was told the two men would be prosecuted and I would be
notified upon it further. Mark climbed out of the truck as I dung into the Earth
to bury one of my family members. I wiped my face upon my shirt as Travander
just sat there and watched with his ears flat against the top of his head. I
finished and wrapped Jescio's body in a tarp and took his collar off and placed
it around my wrist as I placed his body into the grave that I had dug. I sighed
deeply as I began to fill in the grave. I couldn't believe it would come down to
this, burying someone that has been with me through thick and thin and I wasn't
there to help him, like he was always for me.
I finished up as I trudged myself off to the barn and put the shovel away and
headed for the house. I climbed the porch stairs and sat down upon them.
Travander followed me slowly and sat down between my legs. I just scratched him
behind the ears and kissed the top of his head, "I'm sorry boy. I should of paid
attention to your barks, better than I did." I sighed as I ran a hand through my
hair and felt a huge hand upon my shoulder. "I heard what happen. The police
told me everything. How are you holding up?" I couldn't speak as I just shook my
head. I got to my feet and slowly walked by Mark. I didn't want to talk about it
right now. I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts and what not at this
moment. I walked upstairs and closed my bedroom door and just changed my clothes
and climbed into my bed and just stayed there. I didn't want to be bothered by
nothing at all.
Mark watched her as Jamica climbed the stairs and close her bedroom door. He saw
the collar of Jescio's around her wrist as she walked away. He sighed as he sat
down on the porch swing and Travander walked over to him and placed his chin
upon Mark's knee and looked to him with his big brown eyes. Mark looked to him
and scratched his head, "I'm sorry I wasn't here boy. I was away doing a few
things. And now I regret even leaving the you and Jamica alone. I don't know how
to help her. I guess just being here is the thing." Travander whined at him,
like he agree with Mark. Mark sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He
had a headache coming on already and the day had just begun. He slowly got to
his feet and went to feed the horse and such down at the barn.
Chapter 33
It was a week later since Jescio was killed. I had finally got myself together
and started doing things around the ranch. I tinkered around in the garage but
that's all I did. I went into a depression of course. Mark went back on the road
and Glen was stuck on the road for another couple of days. So it was just
Travander and I until Glen returned off the road for a bit. I couldn't wait, I
just been needing him around. Mark did his best, I know he did, but it wasn't
the same. Mark went back on the road with a better attitude but with worries
about me. I told him not to worry and go and did what he did best, which was
wrestle.
I didn't tell Glen what happen at all. I think Mark did, but I know I didn't. If
Mark told him that's fine, if not I would tell him. I had placed Jescio's collar
upon the mantel, hanging off the corner of a framed picture of him and Travander
together, above the fire place. Where I could see it everyday. Yes I mourned
over a dog, but he was with me since day one and Travander was as well, since I
had to start my life over after Jackle. You might understand or you might not,
but that is the main reason why. I crouched down behind a bike to finish up the
owner was suppose to be by today to pick it up. I have been talking to Avis
about the chopper being built. He was suppose to be sending the colored plans
over on what everything in color was suppose to look like. I also told him I was
in the middle of looking for a shop and getting it together so I could build the
bike. He said he had no luck, and to keep him informed on what I was up too.
I heard a truck pulling up as I just finished the bike I needed to finish. It
was the owner of the bike, Hank Trenveder. I stood up and pushed the bike to the
opening of the garage as he walked up. He paid me for my services and started
the bike up, just to make sure. It started right up and the engine soared like
it should. Hank nodded and smiled as he road the bike over to his truck. His
buddy climbed out of the truck and helped him load it into the back of the
truck. I placed the payment in the cash box and placed the receipt in the folder
where I put all finished repair jobs.
I felt glad the bike was to his standards. Hank was one of my tough customers.
He was very picky about his bike, which I didn't blame him. He is a member of
the local biker group, Rollin' Eagles. Don't ask me how they came up with the
name, but I did service alot of their bikes. So they always came back, which is
good. I cleaned up and closed down the garage early today so I could relax and
do a few things that I wanted to do. A delivery man stopped by to drop off a
huge vanilla envelope with the colored plans for the American Welder Chopper. I
sat down at the kitchen table and went over both sets of plans and made notes
for myself, so when I started building the bike, it would have a clue of what is
what.
I started making sketches on how to form the tank and such. I lost time after
awhile and yawned and I looked to the clock. It was late at night. I grabbed a
quick bite to eat and got cleaned up for bed and headed up for bed. I was half
way up the stairs as I heard a car pull up the driveway. Travander went running
to the door barking as a knock was heard on the door. I sighed as I descended
the stairs to the front door. I turned the porch light on and opened the door
just a bit to look out. My face lit up as I opened the door wider to see Glen
standing on the other side of the screen door. "Hey there cutie." I opened the
screen door as Travander ran me down and jumped at Glen all happy to see him.
Glen knelt down and petted him to calm him down and then he walked inside and
picked me up in a huge bear hug. "You are a sight for soar eyes. I have missed
you so much.." I wrapped my arms around his neck and held onto him, I didn't
want to let go. "Your back early. I am so happy to see you too. I have missed
you more than you think." I looked up to him and captured his lips in a mind
blowing kiss. Boy did I miss this man more than you think.
Glen carried his duffle bag and me upstairs to the bedroom as Travander nipped
at his heels, after kicking the front door closed. He placed me upon the bed and
dropped his duffle bag to the floor. Travander walked in and laid in his corner
and settled down. I laid back as Glen crawled up the bed and captured my lips
once again. This time the kiss, I thought would never end, and I didn't want it
too. He pulled back and just sat there on his hands and knees, just staring at
me. "I have missed you so much. I couldn't stay away from you any longer." I sat
up on my elbows, the smile never left my lips. "I missed you alot as well. I
thought you would never get here." He chuckled lightly, "I know me too. Well
here I am." I nodded, as he sat to the side then I sat up. I took off my work
boots and placed them at the end of the bed. "I need a quick shower. I just got
done with a repair job and such before you drove up." I slid off the bed and
started walking away as Glen locked his arms around me and pulled me to him. His
erection through his jeans could be felt. My heart raced and I thought I was
gonna mess myself right there.
He leaned his head down and kissed my neck and whispered into my ear, "Want some
company?" I couldn't resist. "Oh it's always welcomed." He let me go as I
scooted off to the bathroom and started the shower. I stripped and placed the
dirty laundry into the hamper and climbed in. A few minutes later Glen joined me
in the shower. My Lord I have never had such a heated shower in my life.
Let's just say we couldn't let each other go and couldn't get enough of one
another. We didn't wait for bedtime for fun, we just couldn't get enough of one
another. The cold tile wall, saw and felt more than it ever had, since I bought
the place. Let's just say I enjoy showers more now.
We finished the shower finally some time later. The ache between my legs, I
welcomed it with open arms, instead of my aching heart within my chest. I dried
off and headed for the bedroom as Glen finished up in the bathroom. I got
dressed into one of Glen's t-shirts only and sat down on the bed and just stared
out into nothingness lost in my thoughts I guess. Two large hands on my
shoulders from behind me, took me out of my thoughts very quickly. "You miss him
don't you?" Glen asked. I placed a hand upon one of Glen's and nodded. "Yes I do
Glen. I could of prevented it, but I didn't. He died protecting me." Glen sat
behind me and rubbed my shoulders gently. "Mark told me everything. I'm sorry I
couldn't get away sooner to be with you. But I was eased knowing you weren't
alone. You had Mark here to help you out until I could get back." I nodded, "Yes
I owe Mark alot now I guess." Glen shook his head, "He told me he was happy to
do it. Also he told me you were looking for a place to expand your motorcycle
repair." I nodded and turned and looked to him. "Can we talk about all of this
tomorrow? I want to just take tonight to just be with you." Glen smiled and
nodded as he wrapped his arms around me and held me to his bare chest as we laid
in the bed. My head laid upon his chest as I listened to his heart beat. It was
music to my ears that I had missed.
I didn't remember a night that I would never forget ever since before Glen left.
It felt like he never did. We made love for I don't know how long last night. It
felt great to feel and be with someone I loved. I guess you could see I do love
him with all my heart and soul. I know he did as well, but I would like to hear
it directly from him. But I am not going to push him either to say it. He will
say it when he's ready to do so once again. I laid next to him after a wild
session of love making. He had fallen asleep and I just laid there watching him
sleep. I couldn't believe I found a guardian angel to love. I was very lucky I
thought.
Chapter 34
I fell asleep until early morning. I slowly stirred and opened my eyes to
Travander staring at me, sitting at the edge of the bed. I slowly got up and
quietly to not distrub Glen next to me. I grabbed my robe and placed it on and
left the room with Travander at my heels. I closed the door quietly as I headed
downstairs to let Travander out for awhile. I walked into the kitchen for some
coffee. I didn't sleep much anymore since everything not working with me in my
life, except a few things right now. I looked to the table with the breaking
morning light and just dreaded that I couldn't do the project. I sighed as the
coffee finished and I poured myself a cup. I held the warm mug between my hands
and walked out onto the porch and sat down and enjoyed the sunrise. I enjoyed
everything about living here, no noisy neighbors, perfect view of everything.
Travander laid at my feet as I rocked on the porch swing gently and enjoyed my
coffee. I heard the front door open and Glen walking out in a pair of sweat
pants and sweat shirt. It was chilly out here this time of year. Fall is the
best season to be out in around here. I loved to watch the trees change colors
that surrounded the property. He also had a cup of coffee in his hands as he
walked over to me and took a seat. "I woke up with the bed empty next to me.
Something wrong?" He looked to me as I leaned my back against him. He placed his
arm across me and just held me gently. "Nothing is wrong, Travander had to go
out and once I'm up, I am up for the day. I hope I didn't wake you." He shook
his head. "No I was awake when you got up with the dog. I guess I am use to the
road schedule so much that I wake up early even if I am on or not." I nodded and
sighed as we sat there, just the two of us and enjoyed one another's company.
"I hate to bring this up, but Mark told me what happen with Jescio and
everything. I'm sorry I wasn't here to comfort you Jamica." He leaned down and
kissed the top of my head. I sighed gently. "It's okay. If you could of been,
you would have been. I miss having him around. He was always there for me just
like Travander. Just ain't the same I guess." Glen nodded and sipped his coffee.
"Oh yes I almost forgot. I got a surprise for you in my bag upstairs." I turned
around quickly and looked to him. "You do? What is it?" He chuckled lightly. "If
I told you what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" I shook my
head, "I guess your right. That was a very silly question." Glen nodded and
chuckled lightly. "Yes it was. Let me go upstairs and get it." I nodded as I
leaned up and he headed inside and upstairs to his bag.
Travander looked up to me with his soft brown eyes. I drank the rest of my
coffee and placed the empty mug on the table next to the swing. Travander got up
and sat on his honches and placed his chin in my lap. "Well good morning to you
as well sir." I scratched him behind his ears and down his back and so forth.
"You miss Jescio don't yah?" Travander looked to me with his eyes and whined a
bit. "You ain't the only one boy. Don't worry, we'll get you a new buddy you can
push around again. Won't be the same, but it will help with the lonliness you
feel right now." Glen came walking out onto the porch and handed me a large
vanilla envelope. I looked to the envelope and then back to him, "What's this?"
"Your surprise. Open it and see." I placed the envelope in my lap and undid the
top flap and opened it and looked inside. It was full of papers. I lifted a brow
and pulled them out.
I flipped through them and looked at the top page. It was a paper stating the
purchase of the old repair shop in town. I looked to Glen, "How did you know
about the shop in town." Glen sat down and placed his arm up on the back of the
swing. "You never knew it with everything going on what Mark was doing. He
called me up and we planned this whole thing out. Him and I, along with some of
the guys from the federation pooled money together to purchase the shop for you
to place your repair business in a larger location. You need the space and what
not to build the chopper for the corporation don't you?" My heart skipped a beat
as tears started to burn my eyes, "I...I..I don't know what to.. say..." I just
sat there and shook my head.
"Really I don't.. This is the nicest thing that anybody has done for me.." I
dropped the papers and things to the floor as I wrapped my arms around Glen's
neck. "I owe you guys my life more than anything now. Thank you so much Glen.
You didn't have too." He wrapped his arms around me and lightly chuckled. "We're
glad you didn't get mad. Mark thought you would of gotten mad about doing this
behind your back. We wanted to surprise you with it. We all know you've been
through alot and well.. This is our way of saying thank you for being there for
us and being a great friend, sister and well girl friend to me."
I pulled back from the hug and sat back down and picked the papers back up. I
just sat there in amazement, that I finally was going to have something in my
life as a wish come true. My own bike repair shop. I looked up to Glen, "That
means I won't be traveling with you on the road very much Glen. I will have to
give up my position on the ring crew to do this now..." Glen wrapped an arm
around my shoulders and shook his head, "If this is what you really wanna do
Jamica, then I am going to back you up all the way. I want to see you happy,
plus I won't be wrestling all my life. I have to retire sometime, then we can
work together. Even before I retire when I come home, if need be I can help you
out at the shop." I nodded as I jumped to my feet and grabbed my empty coffee
cup and hugged him once again with a huge smile upon my face. "I got some ideas
on how I want to fix the place up. I must go plan before the ideas run away. I
will make breakfast at the same time." Glen lightly chuckled. "You do what you
want. Just let me know when you want to start fixing up the shop and I will let
the guys know, they want to help. Just got to let them know ahead of time, cause
Vince will give them the vacation time." I nodded and went inside. Travander
laid his chin in Glen's lap. Glen sighed deeply with a huge smile upon his face
as he looked to the dog. "Don't give me those eyes Travander. This is the most
happiest we have ever seen Jamica in a long time. Don't worry I haven't
forgotten you." He petted and scratched Travander down the way he loved to be
petted by Glen and Mark, right down to a tummy rub.
I was busy in the kitchen cooking breakfast of ham, eggs, and toast while I
jotted down ideas in a notebook I had on the counter nearby. I had the radio
playing country music. Sometimes I had to listen to Country music, I was born
and raised around it so it was just stuck on me. The song "Beer for My Horses"
by Toby Keith started playing. I reached over and turned it up and started
rocking to the tune as I finished cooking up breakfast. I filled the plates and
placed them to the side. I brewed more coffee and cleaned a spot on the table up
for us to eat on. I fed Travander as well, as Glen and Travander came walking
in. I was so caught up in the tune and dancing to it, that brought me back to
reality was Glen chuckling while standing in the doorway of the kitchen.
He startled me actually. I reached over and turned the radio off and blushed
redder than red. "Come on your such a great dancer and singer. Keep going." I
shook my head and refilled his cup and joined him for breakfast. Travander
walked over to his dish and dug in as we did into the plates of food in front of
us. I kept on sketching things out and writing things down in the notebook as I
ate.
Glen was interested in my other plans for the American Welder Chopper I had to
build, once the new shop was done. My eyes caught him looking through the
sketches and notes I had down for the bike. "This the bike you have to build?" I
nodded as I swallowed the rest of my breakfast. "Yes it is. That is what I was
doing before you came walking in last night. I was making notes and such so when
I started I knew what I was doing." Glen nodded and looked to me, "This looks
like an awesome bike once it's completed." I nodded as I stood up and cleaned up
the breakfast dishes and head upstairs to get dressed.
I slid down the banister and hopped onto my stocking feet with my boots in hand.
I slipped them on and looked to my watch and gasped. "Oh geez. I am running late
this morning. I gotta feed the animals in the barn and get to work on the other
bike. The owner will be here to pick it up later on this afternoon. I guess the
plans will have to wait until later on for the shop and the chopper." Glen came
walking down the hallway from under the stairs, dressed in blue jeans and a
tight white t-shirt and black work boots on. "You will get time. Just give
yourself time to get yourself together. I will go and take care of the barn if
you want to get going on that bike." I looked to him and shook my head, "You
don't have too Glen. I can do it yah know." He shook his head, "No I don't mind.
Travander looks like he beat us to the punch of heading outside." The screen
door slammed and the sound of Travander running off for the barn barking could
be heard. I chuckled as I followed suit and Glen followed me outside.
I had to catch Travander before he scared the horses. He loved doing that. I
caught him before he did and took me down to the ground at the same time. So
let's just say I ate some dirt and grass for my efforts. I stood up and dusted
myself off as Glen jogged over and looked to me, "You alright?" I nodded as I
sighed. "Yea.. Just lost my balance that's all." He nodded as he headed into the
barn. I jogged back to the garage and opend up the over head door and turned the
lights on and started in on the work on the bike that needed to be done by this
afternoon.
Chapter 35
The afternoon rolled around and I was just about done when the customer for the
bike came walking into the garage. I stood up to my feet and was wiping my hands
upon a rag looking back at the work as I heard someone clearing their throat. I
jumped a bit and turned around and looked to the gentleman. "Sorry sir. I didn't
see you standing there. What can I do for you?" The gentleman was a tall, with a
Marine haircut, jet black in color. He removed his sunglass to the top of his
head as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked to me with his cold brown
eyes. "I am looking for Bike Keeper Jammer. I was told I can find that mechanic
here." I nodded and spoke, "Well look no further my friend, I am Jammer. What
can I do for you?"
The gentleman lifted a brow and placed his hands on his hips. "Your a woman. I
wasn't told the mechanic was a woman! I don't want you touching my bike. I want
another mechanic." "Sorry sir I am the only mechanic in this here town for
motorcycles. You are the first to complain about me being a woman.
Besides that is there something you want repaired or you just looking for
trouble?" I was starting to get mad, plus I had other work to do. The gentleman
snorted and sighed as he spoke, "I am here to pick up my bike. A buddy of mine
dropped off for me a week ago. It better be ready and fixed." I nodded and
walked over to the bench and grabbed the keys to the bike and tossed it to him.
He paid his bill and left. I stood in the doorway of the garage and watched him
leave. I snorted as I spoke out loud by mistake as Glen walked around the corner
of the garage. "If I ever do business with that man again, it will be too soon."
Glen stopped in his tracks and looked to me, "What happen Jamica?" I shook my
head, "Just another satisfy customer in his own way. His way of saying it almost
got his ass kicked. He was very rude because he wasn't told I was a woman
repairing his bike until he walked in here. You should of seen his face though.
Priceless." Glen placed a hand upon my shoulder, "Those are ones that need an
ass kicking, but you must keep professional as well at times. Like you did that
is. Next time I will be around in case so I can do the ass kicking. No need for
me to be professional." I laughed and looked to him. "With him it wouldn't be
worth it anyways." Glen nodded as we headed inside for a cold beer and talk
about plans the shop I had in mind.
"These plans sound fine with me Jamica. It's all about what you want to do with
the place, you'll be the one in there the most of course." I nodded as I sat
back and stared at the plans for the chopper at the other end of the table. Glen
looked to me as he finished the beer. "Something on your mind?" I looked to him
and shrugged. "I guess I am just nervous on how the chopper is going to turn
out. I am a bit afraid I might fail at it like I did my chopper." Glen nodded
and stood up and stood behind me as he massaged my shoulders gently. "Don't
worry yourself. You'll do fine and the chopper will be great and better than
they think. I got confidence in you, you learn from mistakes Jamica not dwell on
them." I sighed and closed my eyes relaxing against his massive hands rubbing my
shoulders. "Your right Glen. I know I can do it, with the right tools and all, I
know I can." Glen finished rubbing my shoulders and patted them gently, "Now
that's the Jammer I know. Alright I will call the guys and let them know about
what's going on so they can get the time off." I nodded and slowly stood up, "I
am going to call Vince and give him my notice for work. I will miss the
traveling though." "You can travel with my on occasion Jamica." I nodded, "Oh
yea I almost forgot." Glen left the room while I walked to the phone and got a
hold of Vince.
Vince was not happy to hear that I was giving up my job, but he wished me the
best of luck with what I did in the future and told me not to be a stranger and
visit once in awhile. I hung up with him and sighed as I walked into the other
room. Glen just got off his cell phone from making his calls as I plopped myself
down into the plush recliner. Glen looked to me as he put the cell phone down on
the coffee table, "He took it worse than you thought huh?" All I could do was
nod my head. "He'll get over it." I looked to Glen, "I know. I hated to give up
the job, but I can't work both." "He knows and understands Jamica. That's just
Vince. He gets too attached to some of us."
I nodded as I heard Travander barking outside. "I wonder what's got him all in a
whirl wind." Glen and I both got to our feet and headed outside.
A police cruiser had pulled up into the yard. I called Travander off as he
stopped barking and came up on the porch. The officer climbed out of his cruiser
with a business size white envelope in his hand. "Sorry about that Officer. He's
been edgey with strangers lately." The officer nodded as he approached the porch
stairs. "It's alright ma'am. Here this is for you. I was told to deliver it
quickly as possible." I took the envelope from him as he walked off and got in
his cruiser and left. I looked to Glen as I let Travander sniff the envelope. He
just sat back after he was finished. I guess it wasn't from who I thought it
was. I tore open the envelope and read the letter inside.
My face lit up like fireworks on the fourth of July. I leapt up onto the porch
and jumped ito Glen's arms and just hugged him as tears of joy ran down my face.
"Jamica what is it? I have never seen you this happy since the surprise I gave
you." I handed him the letter as I just hugged him. "It's all over..." Glen read
the letter and through it in the air. "Jamica that is the best news I think we
have ever received since who knows when." Glen hugged me tightly as he just
didn't let go for a moment and then Glen placed me back on my feet. I wiped my
face upon my t-shirt as I sat on the porch swing and picked the letter up off
the porch floor. "I gotta call Mark. He's gonna love to hear this." I nodded as
Glen ran inside to call. I was so happy I just wanted to frame this letter at
this moment.
The letter was from the courts stating Jackle and Wales conviction. They were
convicted with attempted murder, breaking and entering, robbery, assault and
battery the whole fifty yards. They had a jail sentence of life without parole.
I sat back against the porch swing as Travander stood there wagging his tail
with his chin in my lap. I leaned down and hugged him around the neck, "It's
over Travander. We can move on without fear or anything. They are gone."
Travander barked, like he understood and licked my face as he knocked me down
onto my back. Glen came back out onto the porch and pulled Travander off of me
so I could sit up. "Guess what?" he said. I sat up to my elbows and looked to
him, "What?" I tilted my head as I listened. "Well let's just say we have a few
more house guests coming here, tonight." I tried to get a hold of Mark, but
their was no answer. I called Vince to see where he was, Vince told me Mark and
a bunch of the guys left and were on their way here." You couldn't wipe the huge
grin I had on my face, "That was fast. Talk about smooth talkin' Vince huh."
Glen nodded as I got to my feet. "Well we better get things together for the
guys to arrive." Glen nodded as he followed me inside and got things together
inside and then outside.
Chapter 36
I was tinkering around in the garage on another repair bike for A Rollin' Eagle
Biker Gang member. I was crouched down behind the bike with the radio blasting
from the other side of the shop. I had tossed a wrench onto a nearby tool tray
when I heard my radio get turned down. I looked up very quickly from my work and
was about to chew out whoever did it as I stood up. It was Mark. "I always knew
you were deaf, but do you really have to show it." I dropped my wratchet I had
in my hand as he walked over and stood before me. "You just gonna stand there or
are you going to give your big brother a hug?" I threw my arms around him and
hugged him tight, "I wasn't expecting you and the guys until sometime later on
not this soon." "We couldn't stay away from an opportunity for a vacation
Jamica. You know that."
I pulled back from the hug and looked to him. He looked good as always. "Glen
told me I would find you out here. What are you working on now?" I stood back
from the bike I had apart. "Another job I wanna finish up before I get myself
caught up in repairs on the shop." Mark nodded. "That's typical you Jamica.
Always caught up in work somehow." I slammed my fist gently into his upper arm.
"Not true. I am usually out and about on the ranch somewhere." Mark
sarcastically shook his head and rolled his eyes, "I have heard it all before."
I tossed the greasy rag into his face and ran off. He was hot on my heels as
Travander came bounding off the porch to join us in our play fighting.
We both were out of breath by the time Mark had me in a headlock in the middle
of the backyard. I growled as I slid out of it and placed him in an ankle lock.
"Let's see you get out of that now Dead Man." He looked to me like the devil
himself was and kicked me away gently, like we were wrestling in the ring and I
fell to the ground. He placed me back in the head lock as Travander jumped up
and down barking. "I know you two love to battle it out, but this is not what I
had in mind." Mark and I both stopped in our tracks as we looked to Glen, Adam
and Chris Benoit standing there looking at the two of us acting like children.
Mark let me go as we both straighten ourselves out.
"What are we jealous Adam, that I can kick your ass quicker, and Mark has a
better fight against me?" I lifted a brow and said sarcastically. Adam just
rolled his eyes and went charging for me, "I will show you." He was trying to
spear me. I slid to the side and placed him in knee lock. He hit the ground and
looked over to me, "You are quicker.. than before." I snickered, "Gee you
haven't noticed until now Adam." I let him go as the others were laughing at
him. I helped Adam to his feet and we hugged to call it truce. We were just
messing around as always. Travander calmed down and sat down and let his tongue
hang out as he was panting.
We all headed inside as I showed the guys where they would be bunking and then
went to make dinner. Glen joined me in the kitchen to help as the others just
relaxed from their traveling all day long to get here. Glen and I served dinner
and I stacked the plans for the chopper and placed them on another table out of
the way. We all sat done to eat without a word said.
Dinner was finished as I was standing at the sink finishing up dishes, Mark came
walking into the kitchen and leaned against the counter and looked to me. "I
almost forgot to tell you. Sara was around again." My head whipped towards Mark
real quick. "What did she want?" He chuckled, "Same as always, but the divorce
came through and also I got a restraining order on her. She can no longer come
near me nor come in contact with me in any way. I am rid of her Jamica." I
smiled broadly as I dried my hands off and walked over to him and hugged him.
"That's great news Mark. I also have good news that I received today." Mark
lifted a brow as he looked to me, "Oh? What's the good news?" I walked back over
and finished drying the dishes as I spoke, "Oh nothing really. I got a letter
stating Jackle and Wales... Will no longer be a thorn in my side.." Mark's eyes
went as big as saucers as his jaw dropped in shock. "Don't tell me you killed
them!" I laughed and shook my head, "No Mark. I know I always had the urge to do
that, but no. They got jail for life without parole." Mark picked his jaw up and
took two giant steps forward and picked me up in one of his bear hug and swung
me around, "That is great news Jamica. I am very happy to hear that." I couldn't
help but giggle as he did that.
He placed me upon my feet as Glen walked into the kitchen, "I see you couldn't
wait to tell him the good news huh?" I shook my head, "No I couldn't sorry."
Glen nodded. "Come on. Get your plans for the repairs for the shop and let's go
over them so we can start early in the morning." I nodded as Mark followed me
into the living room. Mark stopped in his tracks as he saw the plans for the
chopper stacked on another table. "These the plans Glen was talking about." I
grabbed my notebook from another table and looked to Mark. "Nope those are the
plans for the chopper I have to build once we get the shop together and up to
code." Mark nodded and walked over and took a seat in the plush recliner. I
knelt down beside the coffee table everybody was surrounding as I took the plans
for the shop out and placed them upon the table and explained everything.
Everybody listened as I spoke and then I answered their questions. It was
settled. I couldn't wait I was going to finally have what I always deamnt of, my
own repair shop for bike repairs and building. Everybody broke up to head for
bed for the night. Tomorrow we were gonna be busy from dawn till dusk or beyond.
Glen and I took a shower and well you can kind of figured what happen. Our hot
body connected and well let's just say the tile walls could tell you some wild
stories on different positions we did in there. We finished with the shower and
headed into my bedroom. Travander was already in there curled up asleep on his
pillow. I slipped on Glen's black t-shirt I wore to bed and climbed in. I turned
off the light on my side of the bed and snuggled down for some sleep. Glen
changed only into a pair of black silk shorts and climbed in behind me. He
reached over and turned the light off as we snuggled up and fell directly to
sleep, tomorrow was going to be an early, busy day.
Chapter 37
It took about two weeks to fix up the repair shop. Getting everything up to code
was the worse then having it inspected. I sat at my desk in the office one night
as I was shaken from my thoughts. It was late at night and I was stuck at the
shop finishing up the day's paper work. Travander laid at my feet and had also
heard the noise. He growled a bit as he got up and went to the back door that
led to the alley way, where our trash dumpster and such was kept. I sighed as I
got up and followed him, "Hold on Travander before you break the door down." I
reached the door and pulled him back from the door so I could open it. He darted
out into the alley way and started barking at whatever was in the trash cans. A
few cats scattered as Travander barked. I shook my head as Travander waltzed
right back inside.
"Some watch dog. I got one that just scares cats out of garabage cans." I turned
to go back inside and I heard a few cans rattling and one fell over. I jumped as
I saw the can roll and stop near the shop's dumpster. I heard a whine then a
litte Rottie pup come crawling out with a bone in it's mouth. He must of been
about at least nine months old. I closed the door, in case Travander had other
ideas about the pup. He was cute. He was jet black in color except for some tan
color around one eye and his paws. The pup's big little brown eyes looked to me
as it dropped it's bone to the ground and started to growl at me. I lifted a
brow to this little pup and crouched down and whistled to it. He didn't respond,
just stood there and growled at me. I think it was trying to protect the bone it
was carrying.
I looked into it's eyes, it was scared and must of been starving. "You hungry
little man?" The pup stopped growling and tilted it's head at me like it
understood me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a piece of jerky I had in
my back pocket, usually I fed pieces to Travander as I worked. I broke a small
piece off and held it out to the pup to take. The pup looked at the piece of
meat in my hand and slowly, but cautiously took steps towards my hand and was
about two feet away when it raised it's nose and sniffed my hand and the snack
that sat in the middle of it. The pup placed it's front paws upon my hand and
lowered it's mouth and lapped up the piece of food and brought it to the ground
and nawed on it. "Well that's better than you growling at me. I ain't gonna hurt
you and neither will the big bad shepard in the garage." I looked to the door as
I heard Travander scratching and whining on the other side.
I opened the door and grabbed Travander by the collar and showed him the pup. He
sort of sat back and just stared at it for what seemed forever. He laid down and
sniffed at the pup. The pup was a bit frightened at first and then sniffed back
at Travander. I was surprised at Travander didn't want to rip the pup apart,
usually he would attack something that was near me like this that he didn't
know. "Good boy Travander. Be nice now." I slowly got to my feet and opened the
door to the shop and left it open to let Travander show the pup it was alright
for him to join us. I walked back to my desk and went back to work.
Travander came walking back in with the pup, very timidly walking in behind him.
I looked up from my work and couldn't help but watch. It was too cute. Travander
laid down on a blanket near the desk for him and the pup decided to join him.
The pup curled up next to Travander and yawned and cuddled into Travander and
fell asleep. Travander just laid there and watched the pup and then he settled
down. I was there for awhile with work then I would head home.
I finally finished the work needed to be done and stood up and stretched, "Come
Travander time to head home. Been a long day, gotta get early to come and finish
fabricating the Welder bike and then get it to paint." I walked over and closed
the back door and locked it. Travander didn't move until I bent down and picked
the pup up and wrapped it up in my jacket. It kept sleeping the whole way home
and after that. I placed it upon a blanket near Travander's bed on my side of
the room and got myself ready for bed and got some sleep.
The next day I got up early, got my chores done and headed for the shop for a
day of work on the chopper. I let Travander and the pup into the shop and
Travander laid in his usual spot, in the sun near the opening of the bay door.
The pup was right beside him. He was a cute one and I named him Captain Jack
Sparrow, Call him Sparrow for short. Because he looked like a pirate with the
tan patch over his eye. I had the radio playing while I finished fabricating the
chopper so I could pack it up and send everything off to the chromer and paint,
for the next step. I was busy welding in the right side of the bay door when I
heard Travander barking.
I finished welding and lifted up my jet black with flames encaving the face
plate of my welder's helmet and saw Mark and Glen standing in the door way of
the shop. But they weren't facing my direction they were facing the street. I
got up and walked over to them. "What's caught your guy's attention?" Mark
looked down to me, "That biker gang down there. They've been eyeing your shop
for the past ten minutes." I lifted a brow to Mark's words and looked down the
street. "Oh them. Don't worry about them. Those are the Rollin' Eagles. I do
repair work for them all the time. They just probably saw you two and probably
thought I was in for some trouble." I waved the gang off and they went back to
whatever they were doing. "They keep an eye on shop for me when I am not around.
They are trustworthy." They both nodded as Glen lifted me up in one of his bear
type hugs. "I missed you so much." "I missed.. you too... But I need... AIR!" I
gasped. Glen loosened his grip and looked ambarassed. "Sorry. Sometimes I don't
know my own strength." I slipped out of his arms as Mark hugged me, "Good to see
you again Jamica." "Same with you Mark. Come in guys. You caught me finishing up
fabrication on the chopper." We all walked inside and I went into the medium
sized frig I kept in the back office and took out a two beers and a bottle of
water for me.
I walked back out as Glen and Mark made themselves at home in the office chairs.
I handed them their beers as I drank some of the water out of the bottle. I took
off my gloves for welding and my helemt and placed it upon the bench as I took a
load off my feet. I was covered in black soot and metal shavings from
fabricating. "I hope I didn't get you two dirty. Cause of the metal and such
I've been working with." They both shook their heads and drank their beers. "The
place looks great Jamica. How's business been?" Mark asked. "It's been on and
off steady. I just finished up a couple of repairs just yesterday, other than
that I've been working on the American Welder bike. I got to pack it up for
chrome and paint so it can be picked up later on this afternoon." He nodded as
he stood to his feet and went over to examine the mock up of the chopper and my
work. Glen stood up and walked up behind me and leaned down and kissed the back
of my neck. "I have missed you. How have you've been holding up?" I sighed a
bit, "Alright how about yourself?" He chuckled lightly into my ear. "Without you
around, I feel empty and lost. But now, I am feeling great." I smiled as I heard
his words. "Same here." Travander stood up for a stretch and walked over to
Mark. The pup stood up and ran after him and stumbled to a hault at Mark's feet.
Mark looked down at the pup and picked it up. "Hey Jamica, did you know you have
a little visitor in your shop?" He motioned to the pup. I looked over to him as
I leaned my back against Glen. "Yes I found him rummaging through the trash cans
last night. Meet the newest addition to the family. You are holding Captain Jack
Sparrow or Sparrow for short." Mark couldn't help but laugh at the name. "He's
gonna be a big dog when he gets older." I nodded as Mark put the pup back down
on the floor. He crouched down and gave Travander one of his tummy rubs he
loved. The pup came running over to me and pawed at my leg. Glen leaned over and
picked him up. The pup looked to Glen and placed his front paws upon Glen's
chest and began to lick Glen's face feriously. "Whoa. He is a lovable dog I will
tell you that." I couldn't help but laugh. "Yea I know. I couldn't help but take
him in." Glen nodded and looked to me, "You couldn't resist huh." I nodded,
"Plus gives Travander someone to be with, he hasn't been the same since Jescio
was killed. So Sparrow is the fill in the void type thing, not to completely
forget Jescio." Glen nodded as he placed the pup down upon the floor to play
with a few toys on the ground.
"How was the trip back here?" Glen shrugged. "Long but alright. Everybody at the
federation missed having you around. So I've been told. Some of the guys are
gonna try and come out here when they get the time off, just to see you and the
business and all." I nodded, "I miss it too. Just right now I can't I just got
the business off the ground. Can't take vacations now." "They understand Jamica.
Just thought I would tell yah." I nodded as I ran a hand through my hair. "Seems
like I will never finish that chopper. Avis called about it's progress. They
need it by Monday, which is in four days. And it's just going out to paint and
chrome today." I got to my feet as I walked back over to the bike and started
taking it apart and wrapping the pieces up for chrome and paint. Glen followed
me over and started helping out and so didn't Mark. "You two don't need to help.
I know you both have had a long trip.."
They both didn't say nothing and just kept going. I wasn't going to argue with
them and just kept on going with the work.
About an hour and a half later, the whole bike was apart and packed away as the
gentleman from the chrome shop had just walked in. I talked to one gentleman as
the other loaded up the crates of parts. I shook his hand and they both left.
One crate down and one to go out, then I could get to the rest of the bike
repairs while I waited for the crates of painted pieces and chromed pieces to
come back. Glen and Mark had left to get to the house for some showers and food.
I told them to help themselves and I would be home later on. Jack Dornie stopped
by from JT's Graphics to pick up the crate of pieces that needed painting and
graphical designs done. I knew him through some people, he came highly
recommended. I showed him what I was looking for and handed him the colored
plans for the bike and he left to get going on his work. I got to my bike
repairs for a customer who would be stopping by probably this evening.
Chapter 38
The bike owner never showed up to pick the bike I finished repairs on, so I
decided to head on home and spend some Quality time with Glen. I got the dogs
into the truck and climbed in after locking up and shutting everything down and
headed home. I pulled up into the driveway next to Glen's rental car and climbed
on out of the truck. I carried the pup up onto the porch as Travander followed
at my side. I walked inside and let the dogs in and closed the door behind me. I
removed my jacket and saw Mark watching boxing on TV in the recliner. I hung my
coat up as Travander walked over to Mark and laid at his feet. Mark looked to me
and smiled, "How was the rest of your day Jamica?" he asked. I shrugged. "The
gentleman never came for the bike today, but I finished it. I should be getting
the chopper parts back in two days for assembly and ready for American Welder to
pick it up hopefully." He nodded, "Good to hear. Glen's upstairs in the bedroom
watching TV. He wasn't feelin' too good after eating tonight." I looked to Mark
concerned, "Why didn't you call me?" Mark shrugged, "He told me not to bother
you at work. I wasn't gonna stand here and argue with him." I nodded and headed
upstairs, after feeding the dogs.
I yawned as I walked into the bedroom and saw the TV on and Glen passed out on
the bed, in just his blue jeans. I sighed as I quietly walked out to the
bathroom for a quick shower. It felt great to get dirty at work, made me feel I
accomplished something there, but getting it off at the end of the day, felt
even better. I finished with my shower and dried off. I was finishing up my
shower when I heard a knock on the bathroom door. I wrapped a towel around me
and opened the door slightly. It was Glen on the other side of the door. "I
thought I heard someone in the shower..." he yawned, "Why didn't you wake me?"
"Mark told me you weren't feeling good so I let you sleep." I opened the
bathroom door wider to let him in. Glen wrapped his arms around me and hugged
me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed my forehead upon his shoulder.
"Sorry I am late tonight. A gentleman was suppose to pick up his bike tonight,
but he never showed up. It's ready for him, maybe in the morning."
Glen kissed my forehead and nodded as he stirpped out of his jeans and got
himself into the shower, while I finished up in the bathroom. "How are you
feeling?" I asked. "Better. I think it was just from the long plane ride." I
nodded, with relief running through me. I hated to see him or Mark sick or hurt.
It hits me harder than they both think. "Good to hear your feeling better."
I walked out of the bathroom, in my bathrobe, to the bedroom. I closed the door
as the pup walked in behind me. I got dressed in a black Harley Davidson t-shirt
and that was it. The pup jumped up on the bed and licked my arm for attention. I
jumped a bit, "My Lord Sparrow, you startled me." I petted him and played with
him, while I waited for Glen to finish in the shower. He walked into the room
with just a towel around his waist. He slipped the towel off and slipped on a
pair of sweat pants. I placed Sparrow down on the floor, on his bed. He curled
up and went straight to sleep. I yawned as I climbed under the covers. I felt
the bed sag behind me as the TV went off and then a huge, muscular arm drape
over me, then a pair of soft lips on the side of my neck. "I really did miss you
while I was on the road." I turned to face him and cuddled into him, "I missed
you too. More than you think. It's great to be back in your arms Glen." I leaned
my head up as I captured his lips in a soft, gentle kiss. I pulled back as I
just laid in his arms. I wanted to stay there forever, I swear I thought it was.
We fell asleep holding one another snuggly.
The next day had all of us at the shop. The gentleman did stop by first thing in
the morning. Mark helped him load it upon his trailer as I settled the bill with
his wife. I filed my copy of the repair receipt away and palced the money in a
cash box as they left the shop. I sat down in one of the office chairs and
closed my eyes for a moment. "Something wrong Jamica?" I opened my eyes and
looked to Glen and shook my head. "No nothing is. Just a bit tired I guess. No
worries." He nodded as he carried a few boxes into the back room to put away. I
turned myself in the chair to the desk to do some paper work as Mark came
walking back into the shop. "That was one sweet looking bike you repaired
Jamica." I looked up from my work and nodded, "Yes it was. A bit complicated but
I figured it out with a bit of help from my manuals I keep around." Mark
chuckled a bit, "Well a bike finally stumped Bike Keeper Jammer. Did Hell just
freeze over?" I lifted a brow to Mark and through a greasy rag into his face.
"No the bike didn't stump me and how did you know my shop name?"
Mark took the rag off his face and looked to me, "Anybody and everybody who owns
a bike in this town or in the surrounding towns knows your repairin' name.
Someone knew your nickanme and just added to it and then it just stuck." I
nodded as Glen came walking out and sat down with a bottle of water in his hand.
He looked to Mark, "While your out here talking away Calloway. There is work to
be done." Mark crossed his arms and looked to Glen, "I know I was about to get
to it. You just didn't give me a chance." Glen just rolled his eyes as he drank
some water. Mark walked off to start some repair work on one of the bikes I had
nearly finished. I couldn't help but just sit there, facing the desk and
giggling at their antics behind me.
Glen must of heard me, "What is so funny there Miss Jammer?" I turned the chair
and looked to him. "Nothing sir, just two grown men acting like children. It's
just too cute sometimes." Glen stood up and walked over to me and sat on the
edge of the desk, "It does.. does it?" I nodded. He just left it at that and
looked to a piece of paper I had hanging on the wall. He pointed to it as he
spoke, "What's this?" I looked to him then the piece of paper he was pointing
at. It had 'T&J's Bike Keeper Shop' written upon it. "That.. The name of the
shop. I just haven't gotten around to getting it put on something to put it upon
the roof of the shop yet." Glen took the paper down and looked to me. "What does
the 'T' and the 'J' stand for?" I leaned back in my chair and looked to him.
"The 'T' stands for Travander. The 'J' means three things, pending on how you
want to put it..." Glen lifted his brow to me sort of puzzled. "It could mean
Jammer, Jamica or.... Jescio." Glen nodded as I stood up to head off for some
work to be done. He grabbed my arm gently. I looked to him, "It will get done
and this shop will be a hit I promise." I smiled to him as he released my arm
and I headed off to do some work.
Chapter 39
A few days past and Mark returned to the road, Glen stuck around for another
week with me. Which I was going to enjoy having his company around the shop. The
guys dropped the parts off from chrome and paint. I was opening up the pieces
and placing them on two tables gently upon blankets so not to ruin the work and
got to assembling the chopper. Glen haven't showed up to the shop yet with
Travander. I had the pup with me, Glen wanted to sleep in a bit and then join me
at the shop later on. So I let him sleep and I left for work.
Sparrow laid near the desk on a blanket waiting for Travander to show up for
some fun. I started in on assembling the chopper. It had to be assembled and
running in two days, so I had to get cracking on it. I heard a car pulling up
and park in the driveway near the shop. I heard Travander barking as he came
trotting in with Glen walking in behind him. Sparrow woke up and went charging
for Travander to play. I looked up from the work I was doing as Glen walked in.
I walked away from the lift the chopper was on and stood there. Glen looked to
me as he approached me and took me in his arms and gave me a wild, passioante
kiss. He nearly knocked me off my feet. He pulled back and smiled at me,
"Morning there my ray of sunshine." I smiled broadly at him, "Someone is in a
good mood this morning." He nodded, "But of course I get to spend another week
with you." I chuckled lightly and went back to work. Glen walked over to the
pieces that just came in and looked at the work. "This paint job is awesome
Jamica. I love the details and such." I nodded, "Yea I know. Dornie out did
himself once again. This chopper is going to be awesome once it's together."
Glen looked to me and nodded.
He walked over and helped me place the engine into the frame carefully. I
started hooking the carborator and such to it as he walked over to the desk and
started making phone calls. I couldn't hear him speaking and such. I was making
a lot of noise, plus he was in the office. I kept at my work as I looked up from
my work as Glen waved to me from across the shop, "I'll be back in awhile.
I got some running around to do." I waved back and nodded, "Just be careful." He
nodded as he exited the garage and drove off. I got back to work on putting the
chopper back together. I had to stop on and off to look at the manuals for
reference, cause I got lost in a couple of places, nothing to big I couldn't
handle.
I yawned as I looked to the clock up on the wall. It was late in the evening and
Glen wasn't back yet. That was odd of him not to show up before I closed up and
headed home. I finished assembling the engine and I would start on the wiring
tommorrow morning first thing. I locked up the shop and shut everything down and
walked over to my truck and got the dogs into the truck and drove home. I pulled
up in the driveway and the lights in the house were on. I walked inside with the
dogs running into the house, Glen was there just placing dinner upon the table.
"I was wondering where you disappeared too." Glen looked up from setting two
plates of food upon the table. "Sorry I didn't want to spoil the surprise of me
making dinner for you tonight. How was work after I left?" I walked over to the
sink and cleaned up and explained the rest of the day to him. We sat down and
enjoyed dinner in light conversation.
We cleaned up from dinner together and headed upstairs for a romantic shower and
well let's just say the night was just romantic. We couldn't get enough of one
another. We laid side by side after hours of love making. I had my head laying
upon his chest, his arm was wrapped around me, holding me close to his body as
we laid there in the darkness. I closed my eyes and just listened to the sound
of his heart beat, it was just music to my ears. "Have I told you lately Jamica,
that I love you?" My heart jumped practically out of my chest at the sounds of
those words from him. "No you haven't. Have I?" I felt Glen shake his head, "No,
but I really do love you Jamica. I don't know where I would be without you in my
life, even though we started out as just friends." "I will agree and I love you
more than you ever will know Glen. Having you in my life has made it all
different. I love every minute I am with you and I miss you dreadfully when your
on the road or apart." "So don't I. I always wanted to tell you have much I love
you, but I didn't know if you felt the same or not. I guess we both do." I
opened my eyes and lifted my head up and looked to Glen. "I wouldn't change
anything between us Glen. Every thing between us is perfect." I leaned forward
and clenched his lips in a soft romantic kiss. We ended up making love once
again and fell into a nice sleep afterwards.
Chapter 40
We enjoyed one another for a week before he ended up back on the road. I miss
him already like I always do, when he leaves for work. I finished up the
American Welder chopper on schedule and they picked it up on time. After the
chopper was published in a magazine and the article was done on me about the
build, business picked up like nothing. I had work for awhile and I had a
waiting list for choppers to be built and repaired as well. The shop is busy as
always, Travander and Sparrow lay in the sunshine to the side of the open garage
door. I just got off the phone for ordering parts and such for the builds that
the shop has going.
Well the shop has a name now, It is called T&J's Bike Shop. The 'T' is for
Travander and the 'J' well it's for Jescio. We decided to name it after the
dogs. Much easier to say when answering the phones to customers and such. I
leaned back in the office chair and looked out the office window to the help I
hired, which were capable friends that could do the work. I got to my feet and
opened the door and leaned against the door frame and couldn't help but look
around to the work being done.
I walked to the open garage door and leaned against the outer wall of the
buldling to the sign that hung above the huge garage bay door. Glen had it
placed up there before returning to the road. He had it done while I was away
with the American Welder bike ceremony. How could I've been so lucky to fall
into something like this. I don't really know for sure, but if this is fate then
I love every moment of it. And I thought I wasn't going to be able to get this
far in life, well I guessed wrong. Once I got myself together everything else
just fell into place like a puzzle, very easily once Glen was in my life, along
with Mark.
"Bike Keeper Jammer.. You got a phone call. Another order for a chopper." Adain
called out from the outer office desk in the work area. I nodded as I motioned
for him I would be there in a moment. I always hated that name when I wrestled,
but I loved it now. I walked over to the desk and took down the order and hung
up and leaned back in the chair as Travander walked over and sat down and placed
his head in my lap. I scratched his head as Sparrow walked over and sat on my
other side and did the same as Travander. I looked to the both of them and
sighed slightly, "I don't know about you guys, but I think we all got what we
always needed.... A family and a business we all love." I finished with them and
walked off to get to work.
Glen returned from the road the following week, along with Mark. We all worked
in the shop the next day after they came home. We finished up the working day
and just sat around drinking a beer before heading home. We were cracking jokes
and talking about a few things that had happened in the federation that were
really funny. Then everything went quiet. I was caught sitting staring up at the
wall, where I had the magazine article and such in frames. I couldn't get over
that was my master piece of a chopper in that magazine. Mark walked over and
leaned against the wall and looked to me, "Is someone's ego getting them lost in
thought?" Glen chuckled and looked to me, "What's on your mind Jammer?" I shook
my head and looked to Glen and then Mark, "Just still can't believe that I made
that bike and it actually worked. Business is booming and I just couldn't be
happier that's all." Glen nodded as he took a drink of his beer. Mark nodded, "I
couldn't agree more with you Jamica. I have to say this, if it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't have the family we have now, nor someone to pick on when we need a
laugh." I couldn't help but throw a dirty, greasy rag at Mark's face. "Hey what
was that for?!" Glen and I were both laughing. Mark removed the rag and just
shook his head, "Laugh it up you two now, cause I will get you two later. No
doubt about it."
Glen and I quieted down. I chugged some beer as Glen looked to me, "I have one
question though?" Mark and I both looked at him, "What's on your mind Big Man?"
Mark asked. He looked to me, "However did you get the nickanme Jammer anyways.?"
Mark nodded and looked to me, "I've been meaning to ask that.." I laughed at the
both of them and then thought about it for a moment. "I don't really know. I
guess because I love jamming on things or jamming gears. Or it's just an unusual
nickname cause others just didn't feel like using my real name." I shurgged, "I
don't really know." Mark and Glen looked at one another and nodded, taking my
answer. They both raised their beers into the air. "Here is to the best friends
and family a man could ever have around. I owe you my life and everything in
between." Mark said and looked to Glen, "I will agree Mark, but to the best girl
and biker repairer on the East Coast. Bike Keeper Jammer." They raised there
beers and cheered for me. I just blushed and didn't know what to say. "You two
are too much. I appreciate the kind words, but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't
for the two of you. You two made my dreams come true, before I even gave them a
chance to even get off the ground. A few years ago, if I knew you.. I would of
laughed about this... I don't regret going with this, cause I love doing this
and wouldn't trade nothing for this and the family I have before me."
I meant every word I said. I know the guys did too. Alot of people said I
wouldn't make it in this world, cause I was supose to be a lady all the time.
Well I was, and it didn't get me far except into the best relationship I ever
had and then some. Glen and I ended up engaged and getting married a few months
later. Mark slowly got himself back into dating and haven't found nobody yet. He
was taking his time, not to make the same mistake for a fourth time. I had
everything and then some that I always wanted. Best thing I had was my health,
my bike repair shop and best of all a family that loved, care and helped me out
with everything they could do for me and then some. I would do anything for
them, and they knew it. I wouldn't change my life for anything, nothing couldn't
spoil the best bike repairer on the East Coast, according to Glen, Bike Keeper
Jammer.
