The Disciple: First Mission

Chapter Seven

The following morning, I had woken up from bed. Tristan had gone back to house after returning back to the condo. He seemed to be alright after I had told him everything he needed to hear. Getting out of my bed I reflect on the incident at the theater and why the manager would accuse us of bringing outside food. Curious, I grab the pants I wore yesterday looking in pockets. Sticking my hand on the left side, I pull out a cheeseburger. Thinking back to theater, I remember the teenager that bumped into me. He must've have planted this when Tristan and I took our seats. Looking at the cheeseburger, I throw it away in the trash. My phone then, buzzes twice as I receive a text notification from Tristan.

"Hey James, you might want to turn on the television." Tristan says sounding urgent.

Wondering what the message is about I grab the TV remote turning on the television. On the screen it shows Lionel in front of a movie theater holding a cheeseburger. In the background, show a poster with my face crossed out.

"Is the face of a guy you want running for congress. A guy who is too cheap by concessions at a movie theater. Do you want a guy who tries to get a free pass by, sneaking outside food. Well, don't worry I'm not that guy. I will fight for the people who earns their way to get to the top. People like James Wise, doesn't deserve to be treated like royalty." Lionel Says.

I turn off the television, throwing the remote on the couch. Making matters worse, I receive a YouTube notification from WWE after Tristan had told me to subscribe.

I turn off the television, throwing the remote on the couch. Making matters worse, I receive a YouTube notification from WWE after Tristan had told me to subscribe. The video showed WWE tag team twin brothers The Usos in the ring with the mic.

"Yo, Uce it seems to me that boxing sensation Martinez still hasn't learned his lesson." Jimmy Uso says.

"And what's that!?" Jey Uso asks.

"It the fact that he keeps on stirrin the pot asking for another ass whoopin, but this time from you and I Uce!" Jimmy Uso replays back.

"Yeet. Let'em know Uce!"

Their promo in the ring continued. I had remembered that Tristan had me what the word "Uce" meant. It was samoan for brother. As the video the continues, Jey is about to speak only to be interrupted by Lionel Reaper and Johnny Martinez. The Usos get ready for a fight as Lionel and Martinez slowly make their way down the ramp. Behind Reaper and Martinez, were two guys in skull masks. The two were fairly built and seemed like they can manage to hold their own. Martinez and the two masked men enter the ring. One of the masked men charges at one of the Usos, but Jey strikes first. Martinez and the other masked man goes after Jimmy beating him down to a pulp. The three of them then turn their attention to Jey continuing the assault. Lionel then slides a chair to Martinez. The two masked men pick Jey Uso up as Martinez cracks him in the head. The crowd boos as Lionel and company stand tall in the ring. Jimmy gets back to his feet, but the two masked men beat him down. Martinez grabs the chair and cracks Jimmy in the head. The Usos are laid out as Lionel and company leave the ring. Officials, Roman Reigns, and Naomi (Jimmy Uso's Wife) goes to tend to them as the video ends.

Taking out the bible, I decided to do my daily prayer before I head over to the gym. Scrolling through the pages, I find a verse about anger and rage. I then began to read James 1:20.

"For man's anger does not bring the righteous life that God desires." I read closing my and go into deep thought.

I reflect back to Lionel's recent actions against me. I remember him calling me a coward on a Facebook live post when challenge me to a table tennis exhibition match. He even was willing to go to great lengths to cheat and secure the championship. I grab my phone and open Facebook, as Tristan's status is the first thing I see on my news feed. It reads:
