October 30th -- Practice
"Port, port!" MCW screamed out, "Delta drive! Delta drive!" MCW ran off the pick and hit J-Rich on their designed play. He nailed the 3. He went to the bench after the play for a water break, with Tony Wroten taking his spot in the scrimmage.
"Hey coach, whats up?" He said. Coach looked uneasy, he was late earlier and was biting his nails. He had a close relationship with coach-- he really helped out his game last year.
"Uh..." he shook as he talked, unsure of what to say. "...Nothing..." he finished his sentence on a weird note. "Coach, what is it, I can tell somethin' ain't right." He whispered, in fear of others hearing their conversation.
Brown sighed. He seemed unsure of what to do-- weather to tell MCW, or just let it slide. There was to much controversy inside this organization-- he couldn't let the players get involved-- but it was his only way to clean everything up. Brown walked slowly toward the other side of the court, and motioned for Michael to follow.
"Michael... I shouldn't be asking you this, but I need a favor." Brown said. Michael was surprised... what did he need? "Sure coach, anything for you." He said out of natural habit-- immediately regretting the words. "Well..." Brown didn't know where to start. He shouldn't even be asking this.
"I need you to get me something in Mr. Smith's office..." he said quickly, like Michael, he immediately regret saying it. Mr. Smith... thats the assistant GM, he thought. "What is it coach..." ****. Why did I say that? Damn it. Can't he get it himself...?
"I know what you're thinking, and I can't explain the facts now..." He started. "Just tell me what you need, coach." Michael said, slightly annoyed, but more so worried about coach. "Alex has a drawer, it's labeled copies." Brown said, trying his best to describe it without making Michael say no. "There should be a bag... 3 files in there. I need you to get it for me and put it in my office." Brown said, fast, but quiet. "Coach... why not just ask Mr.S--" Michael got cut off, and coach didn't even have to speak for him to know there is a problem in the organization. But the problem was who had it... "Please, Mike. I need this. It's to much to explain now..."
**** me, he thought. He walked towards the office, saying he had to take a dump and that he think he left some soda's up there as an excuse.
He finally reached the office, and the doors were open. He searched for the drawer Mr. Brown described, but couldn't find it. He looked down on the court and saw Smith was gone. He was coming up. Oh god... it was either bail out now or go all out, Mike said. "Gotcha!" He found the drawer, and as he said, there was a bag there. He grabbed it, but heard creaking up the steps. He had about 12 seconds. Hide or run... hide or run... 11 seconds.
He ran as fast as he could. Sprinting out the door, he didn't look back. He ran straight towards the left side of the stadium-- ignoring the fact that Brown's office was on the right-- and also ignoring the fact that Smith may have seen him... but lucky for him, he didn't.
3 minutes later, Mike made his way back across the stadium. He dropped the bag where coach told him and went back out to practice. What had I done? Coach went over to say something to him, but he ignored him, as he was unable to get over the fact that he had just stolen something from their assistant GM.
