Chapter Seven

Craddock

A fighter’s funeral should be as epic as his life. Meyer Thompson made sure that G-Man’s was that and more. They started services inside the GWG in Grand City.

Then a procession drove through the streets of Irish Town. Dozens of fighters lined up to pay their respect. Craddock had never seen his town look so good and sad at the same time.

Grand City Mayor Brick Cooper was even there. Every television station too. G-Man was a hometown boy who died too soon just as he was about to make his dream of winning a title come true.

Craddock kept flashing to the scene inside the bus. Jessie had shown them the way, him and Zeke, to where he said G-Man had been trapped. He was trapped all right, but he was dead.

G-Man’s head was at an unnatural angle. Part of the bus had pinned him, but he had also suffered a neck fracture. It was clear to both Zeke and Craddock right away.

That was not the worst, though. The worst part was dragging Jessie from the death trap that was getting hotter by the second. He did not want to go, could not believe that G-Man was already gone.

Zeke and Craddock both wrestled the best wrestler at the GWG out of the bus. Jessie was yelling the entire time. He was unable to believe there was no way to save G-Man. Authorities said he probably died in the initial impact. Jessie could not take it and eventually the smoke and fumes he’d gulped into his lungs had knocked him out.

“It was my fault it was my fault,” Jessie had insisted.

Later, after they had all returned to Grand City, for a break, for a funeral, and to decide what to do next, Jessie was wrecked. Gutted.

“I had my seatbelt on. I was in my seat. We all were. G-Man was closest to the fridge so I asked him to grab me a fucking water. He unbuckled for a second and that’s when we hit. A fucking water.”

In the days that followed, the highway disaster authorities said a drunk, wrong-way driver had gotten turned around in the storm and had caused the pile-up. G-Man’s driver was killed instantly. G-Man probably a second later.

Every person in Craddock’s bus survived because of the seatbelts. Ted had braked hard and jack knifed but they had all survived. Cassidy was the only one with an injury when they figured her laptop went flying and smashed into her eye. Craddock tried not to think about what could have happened to her. He could not stop reaching out and touching her over the last few days. Just to be sure she was there and safe. He cringed each time he saw stitches. She scoffed at him that it was only four but still. It was a torn flesh and blood reminder of how close he had come to losing her and Dylan.

Zeke’s bus got off lightly. They were at the end of the pile up so they all walked away with minor bumps and bruises.
