“Now can you tell me?” I ask my agent with a steely look. “Why the
hell am I in San Antonio?”
We’re outside an office in some swanky luxurious high-rise in
the city waiting for a mystery meeting. It’s been all top-secret this and on-aneed-to-know-basis that for the past week. My agent Lydia said it would be
worth it. She said it would blow my socks off.
I have to be honest, my expectations are low.
In terms of hockey cities, San Antonio ranks at the bottom. Literally.
The San Antonio Hyenas are the worst team in the league. Have been for
decades.
Whatever ‘amazing deal’ she’s cooked up is already stinking like a
sweaty hockey bag in the Texas sun. I don’t want any part of it.
If the person we’re meeting hadn’t sent his private jet to pick me up, I
would never have agreed to come. There’s no way I’d fly commercial just
to tell the Hyenas that I’ll never play for their shitty team.
“Alright, I guess I can tell you!” Lydia says with a big energetic smile.
It’s making my hangover even worse. My head is pounding and my
patience is wearing thin. “How would you like to be a Hyena?”
“How would you like to be unemployed?”
“Hear me out,” she says as she perks up in her seat. “There’s a new
owner in town. Did you hear about the acquisition this summer?”
“Yeah,” I say as I sink into the leather sofa, wishing I hadn’t gotten on
that jet after all. I knew this would be a waste of time. “Some billionaire
bought the team. So what?”
“So,” she says, barely able to contain her excitement. This energy is
why I hired her as my agent when I entered the league five years ago. She
seemed so enthusiastic and full of spunk. I thought her exuberance would
get me more sponsorship deals and higher paycheques. I didn’t take into
account how it would make my hangovers worse. “It’s not just any
billionaire. It’s Brantley Van Morgan.”
I stare at her. Am I supposed to know who that is?
“I can see that you don’t look impressed,” she says, her smile not even
fading a little bit. “But wait until you see what he has planned for this
franchise.”
“It’s the fucking Hyenas,” I say with a laugh, even though it’s far from
fucking funny. “Why would I ever play here?”
“I think you have to listen with an open mind and a clear heart.”
I shake my head as I listen to her. How can my agent be so out of touch
with reality? The fucking Hyenas? Really?!
They call me The Sniper for a reason. I was the league scorer for the
last five years. Nobody handles a puck like me. Five years in the league and
I’ve brought home three Stoney Cups.
What a waste of time. Now, I’ll have to start agent shopping when I get
home too.
“I can tell that you’re not happy,” she says when she sees my face. “But
Sebastian, I think you’re going to —”
