Chapter 32
Reid was fixing his shoes when Luke walked over, and sat beside Reid.
Reid looked at him, and noticed he was staring at Killer. Reid touched Luke's arm, and Luke turned to him.
"Oh Reid have you seen how big he is"?
"Yes he is staring me down, but I'm trying to stay focused, but seeing the terror in your eyes is not helping me right now"
"OK I will try to focus too, but that creep is staring is that allowed"?
"Yes who cares, is Ben all ready out there"?
"Yes you will never guess, my Grandma, and my Parents showed up"
"Oh wonderful now I really feel ill"
"Why I want them to see you in action"
"Fine help me with my gloves, and put the tape on tight enough"
"OK" Luke was helping Reid who was telling him what to do. Luke was doing his other hand, when Lucinda walked in, and walked over to Luke, and Reid.
"Hey Luke how is our boy doing"?
Luke smiled, "Fine Grandma you should not be in here"
"Oh there is nothing in here I have not seen before" Lucinda winked at Reid who smiled.
"Reid beat this guy his Manager is talking smack out there saying you will be a joke after tonight"
"Really what is Ben saying about that"?
"Oh he is defending you but the Manager is something, but look at that Guy he is huge"
"I know thanks for reminding me"
Lucinda touched Reid's arm, "I'm rooting for you Reid, win for my Grandson"
"I'm winning for both of us Mrs. Walsh"
"Of course you know what I mean"
Lucinda kissed Luke on the cheek, and walked out.
"Reid I'm sorry about that, she actually cares about you"
"She is cool, but your mom is not one of my fans"
"No she probably wants me to fail at this she hates that I'm working here"
"Yeah I know".
Ben walked in, "Are you guys ready, they are going to call you out in a few minutes, they are calling Killer first, than you"
"Luke go with Ben, I'm fine"
"No let Luke walk with you, I will see you out there, and Reid you can beat this guy remember that"
"Thanks Ben".
Ben walked out, they look over seeing Killer stand up with his guys talking to him, and he wasn't even listening he just gave Reid a look, and walked out, they heard his name being yelled out, and Reid heard people yelling out, he wasn't sure if they were booing or not. Reid got up, and was pacing when Luke touched his arm.
"Come on they are waiting for us, your going to do fine". Reid walked to the door, Luke opened it, and Reid walked out. People were clapping calling out his name he kept looking straight ahead as Luke walked beside him. He got to the ring he walked up the steps, he stepped over the ropes, and went inside. He looked at Ben, and Luke, and could see they were worried, but he looked out at the crowd, and suddenly felt stronger, and he knew he had to be positive, and just maybe he could beat killer tonight if he used some of his moves, that Killer was not use to. He stood facing the referee who yelled out Killers name, and said.
"In this corner weighting in at 240 pounds, 6 feet , 5 inches, he has been undefeated , Killer". He walked out putting his hands up, and Reid heard cheers, and some people chanting Reid's name, making him feel better.
The referee looked at Reid, and yelled, "In this corner weighing in at 180 pounds, 6 feet 1 inch, Reid Oliver " Reid walked over putting his hands up, he was surprised the fans were going wild, and he wanted to smile but he stayed cool, he didn't want to seem over confident. The referee told them to face each other, and they just stared, Reid could see the hatred coming from killers eyes, and it freaked him out a little, but he glared back as they punched their gloves together, and moved back to their corners waiting for the fight to begin.

Chapter 33
Reid was focusing on Killer but Luke grabbed his leg making Reid turn to look at him.
"Reid lets end this now, and we can find someone else to fight in a few weeks"
"Luke stop look around, I would be the laughing stock of Oakdale if I walked away now. Thanks for the vote of confidence that I even stand a chance against this guy. I'm fighting, and I don't want another word out of your mouth right now". Reid turned away Luke was devastated, Ben touched his arm.
"He is nervous, but he is right he doesn't need you to make him feel like he is going to lose to this monster"
"Ben look at the guy he is so much bigger than Reid, I don't believe this is a fair fight do you "?
"I didn't set this fight up you did"
"Thanks for making me feel like crap"
"Luke your learning, this will be a lesson to really think before jumping in and booking a fight for Reid in the future"
"Maybe this job isn't right for me Ben"
"Well it is to late now you can deal with that issue after the fight right now it is about to begin, and brace yourself this isn't going to be pretty"
Luke's legs were about to give out underneath him, he was having trouble breathing he was having a panic attack, but he could only imagine what Reid was feeling at this moment.
Reid, and Killer moved to the centre of the ring, and the fight began. Reid was dodging, and moving, and protecting himself, but Killer was a person that went for the kill right away. He knew he had to win this fight against Reid so he went at Reid with such force it shocked even Reid, it was so fast, and fierce right off the bat. Reid got in a few punches, but Killer was relentless he was punching, Reid would block a few of the punches, but as he escaped one punch another came right after, and Reid knew this was going to be a long night he was starting to think Luke was right this was a losing battle he had no chance of winning. He could hear chants in the audience, and he heard them chanting his name, and it actually gave him strength, he actually got in a few amazing punching to the side of Killers head, and killer seems disoriented, and Reid went in for the kill, and was punching him over, and over, and Killer fell against the ropes, and Reid stood back a minute, Reid's only downfall was he hated to keep punching when a man was struggling, but giving Killer a chance to refocus was a very stupid thing to do. Killer came back with a vengeance, and came at Reid with so much force the punch to Reid's side made Reid fall against the ropes, his head was spinning he was seeing double, but he pulled himself up, and turned but another blow came to his chin making Reid fall to the ground, Luke screamed out his name. Reid was getting up, the referee was counting, he had to get up. He stood up, the referee walked over checking him, and the fight began again, they both were punching, Reid was exhausted, but he looked at Killer, and he seemed fine, and it angered Reid. He knew he had to pull himself together seeing the smug look on Killer face made him go into a rage. He ran at Killer, and was punching, Killer was trying to block each blow but Reid was getting the best of him, Killer was shocked he saw a fire in Reid's eyes, and he knew just maybe this guy had a chance at beating him, and he knew he would have to make sure that never happened.
To Be Continued.

Great Update Jessie. I don't blame Luke for being nervous about Reid's fight with Killer. I just hope and pray that Reid doesn't get hurt during his fight with Killer. You did an outstanding job writing the fight scene in this chapter. I would freak out if I had to watch Reid box with Killer.

Chapter 34
The round end Reid walked over to his side, and Ben sat him down, and was looking at his face.
"God Reid your face your eye looks bad"
"Ben tell me the truth do I stand a chance with this guy"?
"I will say yes, but I don't like the look of your eye'
"Stop fussing like my Mother, I need some water to rinse" Luke walked over, "God Reid you look bad"
"Thanks Luke I need to hear that right now where is my water bottle"?. Luke handed it to him Reid took a sip, and spit in the bucket, and Ben touched his shoulder.
"Reid I'm proud of you, I don't care if you win this fight you are a winner in my eyes"
"You are saying that because you think I'm losing"
"No going up against this guy takes guts, and he looks as bad as you that is a good thing"
Reid got up, and Luke followed Ben , and Reid looked over at Killer, and could see he was staring at him. Reid was trying to focus he needed to stay focused, and win this fight. It would mean he made it in the business, and that was his main goal in life. He wanted to be a name people remembered in the business, and he was going to win this fight, he just had to. They ring the bell, and the fight starts all over again. Reid was jumping, and jabbing, and dodging most the blows, he was getting a few good blows to Killers side. Reid could see he was knocking the wind out of the guy, and he couldn't believe it. Reid went for it, and punched Killer over, and over, and was shocked when Killer went down making Reid stare in shock. The referee ran over, and was counting , and Killer was having trouble getting up. Reid was praying he stayed down, but Killer pulled himself up the ropes, and turned, and Reid knew he was real angry now. Reid made him look weak, and Reid could see the look in Killers eyes, than he was going to come at him with all his energy. He ran at Reid, and started to punch Reid was pushed against the ropes, and Killer hit him over, and over, knocking Reid to the ground. He was out of it for a minute, but he could see Luke yelling at him to stay down, but the referee was yelling out, and counting beside him. Reid grabbed hold of the ropes, and was pulling himself up, but his legs were weak, his head was spinning, but he was willing himself to get up, and finish this fight. He finally got up the referee checked his eyes, and Reid said he was OK he could go on. The referee let him continue, they continued fighting until the round ended. It went on for 4 more rounds they were both getting their digs in, and they both went down, and they both got up, the fight could go either way, it would go to the man who wanted it more or got one lucky shot in. Reid was shaking he didn't know if he could take anymore but he was not going to give up. He wanted to make Luke and Ben proud of him. He wanted to win this for himself, so he knew he had to focus on Killer's downfall, so he moved around making Killer frustrated he liked to punch, he hated having to keep up with Reid. They were punching, Reid could see Killer was getting tired so he took his chance, and went at him hitting him over, and over making Killer lose his balance he fell against the ropes but Reid went at him, and was relentless making Killer fall to his knees, the referee pulled Reid away as Killer tried to get up, but he was exhausted as he fell back, and didn't get up. Reid watched as they were counting down, and when the referee jumped up, and grabbed Reid's arm, and declared him the winner was the best moment of his life. He was in so much pain every bone in his body ached, but all he could do was smile he won, he beat the guy he never thought he could win in a million years. Reid turned to Ben, and Luke they both were smiling as Reid put his hands up, and looked out at the crowd seeing them chant his name, and clap was the best feeling in the world, but he knew he needed to go back, and sit down before he fell down.

Chapter 35
Reid jumped down off the ring , and gave Ben a big hug.
"You did it son, you won".
"I won, I really did" Reid turned to look at Luke who was staring Reid's face was bad, he hated seeing him hurting but he walked over giving him a hug as Reid whispered.
"You proud of me Boss"
"Yes but lets get you in the dressing room, and clean you up, and get you home so you can rest"
"What you don't want to make love to me looking like this"?
"I doubt you will be able to make love for awhile looking like this, and I can only imagine your pain".
"I feel like I was hit by a transport truck, but I feel great that is strange isn't it"?
"Yeah come on" Ben, and Luke were walking with him, people were shaking his hands, he finally got to the dressing room, and sat down on the bench, while Luke ran over grabbing some towels, and came over, and was wiping blood off his face.
"Ouch that hurts"
"We have to clean the wounds, but I think you need to see a Doctor to look at that eye"
"Is it still there"?
"Yes but your eye is really swollen"
"Luke don't fuss, I won you should be jumping for joy. You made me into a winner you should be proud"
"You were never a loser why are you talking like that"
"I never would have fought a guy like that out there, but you gave me the courage to do it"
Luke smiled, "I was a stupid Manager, I could have got you killed"
"Yeah but I'm here, but I see three of you, I kind of like that". Reid smiled but he slide sideways as he went out cold. Ben dropped what he was doing, and yelled out Reid's name as Luke stood in horror as Reid started to shake, and Ben yelled at Luke to call 911.
Luke ran over to his bag, and pulled out his phone his hands were shaking so bad. He told them what happened, and they were sending a ambulance over right away. Luke turned, and ran back over as Ben was trying to talk to Reid who was still shaking , and not responding to them.
Luke grabbed a blanket, and put it over him as Ben just stared at Luke with eyes that Luke knew something horrible was happening to Reid, and it was all his fault. It seemed like hours but it was 7 minutes later the ambulance guys came running in, and over to Reid. They told them to give them room as they worked on him. They lifted him up, and rushed him out to the ambulance, Ben and Luke ran out after them.
Lily, Holden, and Lucinda were waiting for Luke when they saw the stretcher with Reid on it. Lucinda grabbed Luke's arm, and asked him what was wrong?
"He is in trouble Grandma, and it is all my fault. I have to go, I have to be with him". He pulled away, and ran outside, Ben yelled for him to get in his car, as they drove behind the ambulance to the hospital..

Chapter 36
The ambulance got to Oakdale Memorial they ran Reid into the emergency room, and they told Luke he had to wait in the waiting room. Luke said OK he watched as they shut the door, and Luke stood staring at it wondering what was happening. Reid was in bad shape but he had to be OK. Luke leaned against the wall, and just stared at the door hoping they would come out, and say Reid was OK. He waited for the longest time when he heard someone call out his name.
"Dr. Hughes how is Reid Oliver"?
"He is in good hands John Dixon, and Susan Stewart are with him. They are taking him for a CT, and after a MRI. He is still unconscious can you tell us anything about what happened."?
"He is a Boxer he had a fight, and won but started shaking after the fight, and we couldn't wake him"
"He had a brain injury we feel his brain is swollen that is not surprising we see this with Boxing patients all the time"
"Oh God is he going to be OK"?
"We hope so time will tell but this is serious Luke. You can go home, and I will call you once we know more"
"No I'm staying can I see him"
"He is having some tests Luke but I guess I could let you see him for a few minutes"
"Thank you"
"Luke who is Reid to you"?
"I'm his Manager but actually we are friends"
"OK Luke I can see you are concerned you know we will do everything in our powers to help him"
"I know I'm just scared for him. I feel this is my fault, I book this fight the guy he fought was double his size. I should have stopped the fight but Reid is so proud he would have hated me"
"Well look at me he is in a Profession that is dangerous, and could be deadly if something goes wrong. Reid got in that ring with that guy, and something went wrong. I will let you see him but Luke he is unconscious, and John thinks he will be that way for a while"
"I just need to see him". Bob took him back, Reid was laying there all bruised, and cut with tubes in his arm, and in his mouth. Luke lifted his hand, and whispered.
"Reid wake up, I want to hear you voice. You can yell at me, I would take anything the silence is killing me. I need you to forgive me, I never should have booked this fight before asking you first. I will never forgive you if something goes wrong. I have the worst luck, I find someone I truly enjoy being with, and I do this". Luke wiped a tear from his cheek as the Nurse came by, and touched his arm.
"Sorry Sir we are taking him for the tests now". Luke smiled but he leaned down giving Reid a kiss on the forehead. He moved away from the bed as the Nurses took him away. Luke walked out, and back to the waiting room. He looked at the clock waiting for some news about Reid but he knew he would be waiting for a long time, and he knew it was going to be a long day because he was so scared he would lose Reid before he truly had a chance to tell him how much he was falling in love with him.
