Lu-Ti  frowned a bit, as she finished her  coffee.....BoB Steven is Captain Lighting..he was in Police  shows before he  came  into this..he is lucky..the show took off..TV  and a movie. They want to shoot another Movie as well..He also Voice overs for  cartoon od show.Adam can tell you more   of show then me..he is big fan. Aam was  to play  Aggie Johnson, and be  Ms Flames love interest, to her Lita Star.From what i understand, Mr Fline's character is new...Writers  create him, no the  Author of the books.

 now  for Heather. She will be  safe as far as  any pre show, nudges and such. What happens on the  screen, will go a long way to having   the NFL have  to react. They are having last meeting on Stokes , on Friday..i presume, so they may talk about it  for the weekend on screen.

 For you?  You should take someone with you...sadly, it cannot be Adam as  he must be here for Practice... Yuto would be good choice,  but he may have things to deal  with here? I am not sure.

 Standing up, Lu-Ti says..I am going to office. I will be leaving for  Amota  Airport  in about an Hour.. You will fly out from there  and back on our planes..Unless you stay there   Until Sunday? They you fly back with Team..you will let us know..yes?

............

 EG:... you sure? we have your back if you need it...

Adam:...still in meeting

It seemed Lindsey was the only one who thought going to Nashville in person was a good idea. After reconsideration, she still came to the same conclusion. This was a show meant for ratings. It was almost certainly not going to be civil, and she would be at a disadvantage with Lana and Linda being directly on the hosts stage and she being on a split screen. Lu-Ti suggested Lindsey bring a wingman. Her first reaction was that she didn't need a protector. She was strong enough to handle herself. After second thought, it was probably a good idea. Better to have an ally and not need it than to not have someone if it ended up being necessary. But who? She could check with Yuto, but as she said, he may be busy. If Yuto was unavailable, she could also ask EG if he could suggest someone. Whoever it was would have to have the ability to fly out that night. Possibly Bob. She wasn't sure what his schedule might be.

When Lu-Ti offered Lindsey a flight from Amota Airport, she perked up. She didn't even know the Amotas had their own airport. It probably should not have been surprising, but it was.

"Excuse me, are you saying I can get a plane ride from the Amotas? I didn't know that was an option. Thank you. I was going to catch a late flight after my date with my mother later. Can I still do that?"

Lindsey stood for Lu-Ti when she go up to go to her office. "It was my plan to stay with the team and fly with them. Going tonight just puts me there a few hours earlier. I'll stay until Sunday and come back with the team. Safe travels, Lu-Ti, and thanks for everything."

When Lu-Ti left, Lindsey went to the texts

Yuto: Hi Yuto it's Lindsey. I'm flying to Nashville tonight for a show with Lana and Linda tomorrow first thing. Lu-Ti thinks I need a companion and suggested you. Are you free? Otherwise I can find someone else. Thanks

EG: Hi EG. I guess I'm the only one who thinks I should go in person, but I think it's important. I MIGHT need someone to go along. Suggestions?

Adam: OK. Just informing you. Definitely going tonight. If I don't see you today, I'll see you in TN

Sage: Hey girl. Going to Nashville tonight. Going to be on a show tomorrow with Adam's two ex's, Lana and Linda. Let the claws come out!! Wish me luck!

   Lu-Ti smiled as she gathered her things,It is Good to have people , watch your Back..you cannot    do everything there by yourself..you are not the assistant...anymore.. You are.. THE BEAT...The other..... another distasteful look,"Ladies will have everyone they need there...perhaps? thier new men?...

she snorted,I will be  truth with you, Yes?... I did not  see  Adam staying with  Lana..she was..the party person.... Linda seemed more  down to earth..but..I was  wrong..Thus far, she has   not attacked the Dragons or Adam... i still would not trust her.

 She Giggled about the airportYes..we have airport..its is  international, but smaller.. There is Amota airlines... and Sunsouth airlines, and from  South America, Various  airlines Play us for  stopping to refuel and customs..Father  Build that before   we had the Dragons.
 the Baseball Team was signed   approved, and the ladies teams..well, no one  cared then..now they wish they had them.../Pink>

 <Pink>we have  four  airliners  at the airport..we need two  for team flights.... the other  two are for  back up of important  flights  with Business people... we have  several Commuter planes..I am taking one to Sandiego... and there are the Cargo planes... we also have
 some aircraft in Seattle and Newyork, LA  and Sandiego Father  made sure all Corners were covered,,like he was invading!.

 The  was a smile of  satisfaction...you take who  want.. , Tell Yuto when you want to leave, you can take a Commuter at any time...

 The team will fly out Friday Night  after practice ,our pep rally  will be Thursday Night, since we will leave around  6:00 friday Night..be in Hotel by9:00... Yuto will tell you which Hotel..you and whoever you take will be there,

she headed to her Office to tie up last minute things.

................

EG:..Let me Know, If you need some one, Take Bob.   he can do some  coverage  after wards with you in Nashville.

Yuto:.. I can  come if you  do not Mind..the enemy will have greater Numbers..But they have to respect my office. You may bring someone else if you would wish?

Adam:...one more meeting, then Lunch, If i don't see you.. make sure you have  someone with you.

Sage:... OMG... hey.. I can come up there.. can we meet?

Lana:...Looking forward to meeting you....

"Oh, shit!" Lindsey was kicking herself in her head. "I forgot about the pep rally. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that the team was flying up tomorrow. I might have to be back for that. Not just for team spirit, I may have to cover it. Looks like I'll be flying right back after the segment." She thought for a moment. "Maybe I can cover it remotely. Ugh! I'll work this out with Yuto."

______________________

Yuto: I don't mind at all, but if you're busy, I have Bob.

Sage: Yes, Absolutely. I'll text when I have more deets but be there and free late morning/lunch

EG: Have Bob stand by

Lana: Hi, yes. Me too!

  Tracy  checked    heather   legs, Kneading the tissue   firmly, but  with some  'gentleness"

  the tissue is  breaking up now, letting   loose.. if this keeps up.  we may let you kick a few on Thursday... today. before we are ready to Go in,  we mat  start with a kick from the 10 yard line.

 Liya from the Studio crew came in...You have time  for easting, yes? then come to studio... they will link up with us 10 minutes  before  air..it will, be taped..but..they do not  cut much? They normally just  bleep words, that they should not use... sometime it is live..today, is tape..

 tracy checked  her reactions to  the manipulation , She  called  Eva in...Tissue is good..alot better then i thought it would be... I'm thinking   some  industrial strength  Ibprophen ?   help the inflammation   and  dull more pain.

 EVa looked over the Massive bruise.well?  we got some  yellow there  already... Giver her two from the Red Box... Eva looks  at  Heather.. the inflammation  going down, will increase  range of   motion and , it will also Dull the Pain?..... at the end of p[ractice, I want you  to try a  kick from the 10 Yard line...After practice. you'll take the other   one, they  just go with the meds  we gave  you from there until tomorrow.

 Yuto:....I am not Busy..i even have cleared a path for this. You can bring the other person?  More allies is good..yes? We are going into their lair.

Sage  :...I will stay at Misty's House,  she said i could  use it for layovers , then I can drive into the city to meet you somewhere..Maybe your Hotel restaurant?

EG:   Already  told him..he';s  waiting.. Gave  Eddie  the  southwest Turtle race to cover..Kate is covering  Some  with   a ETY  interview with  your new Guy...I think he's doign that from the statium. She  joinig in by Remote.

2:00 Jamie interview
6:00 Mom
TBD Fly to Nashville

Tomorrow
8:00 Cat Fight

Fly Back?
PM Pep Rally

Laying it out, it didn't look as bad. The big question was the pep Rally. If she came back for that she could just bring one of the outfits she brought in that morning. If the were going to stay till Sunday, she would have to pack more unless she just went shopping in Nashville. Sage would love that. Yuto was the variable.


Yuto: Yuto, need to talk.  Where are you?

 Yuto:..In offcie..  doign things, But we can talk, I have handle on it.

ok headed to you

Lindsey to  Offices >>>>>>>>>>

 Heather felt Tracy's kneeding but it was helping, it was a little sore but she got through it, she had gotten some bad hits in soccer before and they had no padding. " That sounds great Tracy, it is feeling a lot better, you guys had done a great job."

 Heather smiled at Liya and replied," Yes I will grab a bite and head to the studio, thank you."

 Heather moaned a bit but it wasnt too bad, the bruise looked horrible and large but it did seem to be breaking up. Heather took notes again, and then replied," Sounds great can't wait to get kicking again, that sounds great Doc."

 Heather will get her phone and send a text to Coach Sims," Coach if Yuto could be there at the HtH and for a player if he wishes to come I would like Smokey as moral support but it is up to him ok Coach thank you."

  Coach Sims  sends a text...I can let Smokey out... Send Yuto a text... if he can make it, I can't see him  turning it  down.

 Heather reads his text and responds," Thank you Coach and I will send a text to Yuto."

 Heather then sent Yuto a text, " Could you please be at the taping of the show with me, thank you."

 Heather got her stuff together when she was released by Eva and Tracy.  Heather stopped by the Dragon's Den to get a sandwich and a drink real quick and then headed for the Dragon's studio.

--------------->>>>>>>>>>>To Dragon's Stadium Studio.

------>>>>> From Practice

 Heather walked in with Tracy feeling good about the kicks and her hip. With Tracy's help Heather did her hour of 10 minutes each tub. When done She looked at Tracy, ok what next?

----->>> from locker rooms

 Heather walked out of the complex wearing sweats to cover her bruise. She smiled and waved at the guards and walked to her car.

 Heather relaxed for a bit and the drove to the Dragon Townhouses.

-------->>>>>To Townhouses

>>>>>>>>>>> Lindsey from Townhouses

After parking, Lindsey shouldered her back pack and power-walked into the complex. With a smile and a wave, she breezed passed the guards, texting to Bob as she went. She needed coffee so she would have to stop at the Den.

Bob: I'm here. Headed to the Den

Lindsey to Dragons' Den >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 Adam came out of the lockers  and  walked along the track to the main Gate... Sims   was watching  from the drink table,, Cal was  dogging   steele on his last two laps..

  You Ok?..you were suposed to hold  for Heather...

Adam  took a green   powerade  and downed it, then took  another to sip,no  , Caoch. I was  way to  mad, i would have  messed up the   hold, and  either got heather hurt, or make her  lose confindence .. I'll take  extra  reps    with   Higgins  at  Nashvile

 He watched    Smokey Bombing  some high hanging punts, with Rock  settling  down under them...

 what do you think of the new Guy...

 he's got  skills? I only played against him once.. Mik played both times.. I have him  on my CFL  Discs...

 Sims laughed,..of course you do.

 Coach?   you have to do somehtign   about Steele... this crap with him blmaing others... that's not for him..that's for someone else... we're a tight  knit team except for him..he called out the O-Line , Coach? we can't have  crap like that...

 I can't cut him? some one will pick him up  for information and? his cap money won't hurt us, but its still a consideration....

 Then  suspend  his ass for conduct detrimental to the team.. he doesn't get paid, can't come to the complex, but no one else  can sign him, we both know alot of those   younger guys in the locker  room are gonna walk, if   another team can beat what they earned..its gonna be hard? but some teams will sign them, just to hurt us..right? lets get rid of the one guy we don't want to keep!

 you know   i have to  talk to  Duke and Payne about this...get thier  take on it?

 when i bitched in there..no one said a word/.but  i saw alot of head nods..

 Pro bowl and  All-Pro gets  named  sunday night..I'm hoping  we place some O-line  in there...That should  smooth some  ruffled  scales?

 yeah? he grabbed a  3rd  powerade  for the road..whatever..its  like  prom queen and king..right.... I'll see you later..

Adam to Townhouse>>>>>>>>>>>>

  heading out the Gate, he dropped his  cup in the gate Guard's  trach, they tossed him his  keys,

 Walking out to the Car,  Eddie came  running  over in his  5000.00 suit....Het, Bronk..you ready to do that   thing with Max?

 ..no... he opened the hatch and put  his  stuff in the back.

 You said   you'd   me meet out here...

 Adam looked at him, gave him a dark smile,..I did..we did.. have a Nice  day...

 You...you can't  do that!

 LOOK!.... Eddies  smile  vanished into a look of terror....Ace...  you're Not ESPN.. your  3rd string at New Jack.. you're not the Beat..you'll never be  The Beat... and ,   Ace? I gotta  tell you, I don't like  ass kisses... talk to Captain Viagra, maybe he can swing  you a job on the coast , muck raking  and  digging through garbage for   information... but..YOU..aren't a sports reporter... your just a  suit with sunglasses  that cost too much,,,, get the fuck out of here...

 I wasted  all day waiting!

 Sucks  huh>,,and? for the record.. i didn't  tell you to  sit out here like a stage  door  jonny....

  Adam got into his  car  and rolled  down the windows  to cool it off.

 ..you know?  Me and Lindsey are  real tight man..real tight...

 Adam backed up, the  guards were already on the way over...Yeah?  That a fact... MY  Dad  is  the Commish  of the NFL... how's  that...both are as  true  as the other

 Adam   heads off  to the  townhouses>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

---> Townhouses

Rock returned well ahead of when the buses were to leave. Wouldn't be good to be late for your first road trip. He changed into a tan suit with a dark brown vest underneath. His shoes were dark brown leather, and looked like they'd been recently shined. A yellow handkerchief spilled out of the breast pocket.

The rookie carried a travel bag in his left hand and had his phone in his right, checking the notes he transferred over to an electronic format.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lindsey from Practices

After having grabbed her backpack, Lindsey went ahead out to the parking lot. Emerging from the tunnel, she waved at the guard and went to her car. She hadn't seen even her apartment for three days. It was a good thing she didn't have a pet.

When she reached her car, she opened the driver's door and tossed her bag across into the passenger's seat. She paused before pulling out of her spot. It was nonstop, and she still had to get through Sunday. She just needed the breather, if there was something specific she needed to think about, it wasn't coming. No rest for the weary.

Putting her car in reverse she backed out and headed home.

Lindsey to Lindsey's Apartment >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Adam  from Townhouses.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   Pulling into the Team's lot, Adam watched the interns loading the Busses.. he tossed his  keys  to the   gate guard, then  pivoted to the  Busses, waiting to see  which one he would be going on.

 Mik  came  and stood   by him,  whistling  'The Wellerman'..  Adam  slowly looked at him, and eyebrow  raised.

 what?.. tis a catchy  song... i like it...

 Adam chuckled   and   continued to wait.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lindsey from Lindsey's Apartment.

Lindsey drove in to the complex, and pulled right into her old spot. She saw Adam waiting there with Mik, so she jogged up to join them.

"Guess who." She came up behind Adam and covered his eyes.

 A Big Smile came to Adams  Face...The Hottest Reporter in the  NFL, Who's the hottest reporter in the  Nfl! turned  and giving her a soft Kiss  and a Hug...

 Big Time Road  trip.. you get to  do the covering, instead of fetch and carry!

Mik make a comic sad  face, Twas a  time, you greeted  me  like that!..'cept i kept tellin' ya  i wasn't a reporter!  he leans  over  and  Give   Lindsey a  quick hug,good to see ya Lass, first time he's  smiled  all day... His speech in the locker room after  practice was  good one...ask the Guys.. he whacked  Adam on the back and Moved to Stand With   Higgins and Hall.

   Adam  just  chuckled,we should be getting on the  first Bus... second  bus  wil be  of the   dragonettes  and supprt  folks.. Yuto  and  you, , Lu-TI  wiill all be on the first bus.

Ben arrived and parked the Dragon green truck, gathering up his stuff and giving the keys to the Security people.

For travelling he was wearing a Dragons hoodie and jeans. He'd got smarter clothes in his bag, should Lu-Ti want to go fine dining or some other occasion requiring it crop up.

He joined the other players waiting for the buses.

"All ready? Let's do this."
