Chapter 37 – Secrets Revealed

Returning to the field to begin the last quarter Huey up set up his team for a third and four situation. Caesar snapped the ball back to him and Huey dropped back a step while looking at the one player he trusted on a third down clutch play. Johnny ran a simple route from the slot back position covering the last four yards needed for a first down and turned around to face Huey who threw a quick screen pass over Riley connecting with his sure handed Hawaiian receiver for the first down.

Not giving Rico time to set up his defence Huey lined up his team without even a signal. He had gone over the next set of plays with his team during their small break and what they would do if they got the first down on that play.

Huey dropped back and when Zana broke through the edge of his line he vacated the pocket for the long side of the field. Spying Cindy down the field Huey threw the ball back the way he had come threading it through a linebacker and a cornerback to his second running back. Cindy made the catch and got another five yards for the first down and then some before she was brought down by the linebacker Huey had threaded the ball through.

On his next play Huey went to Riley who ran a crisscross route with Cindy again in front of Huey. Riley skirted his line throwing in a couple of stutter steps to try and shake Zana who was following him on the other side of the line looking for a gap to get through to him or for him to cut across the line. As he came to the end of his line, Riley suddenly put on the brakes while Zana kept going for a couple of steps. Those extra steps by Zana were all Riley needed and he cut through a gap that formed in the line thanks to his manoeuvre. With a quick burst of speed Riley got out of the Zana's reach before spinning out of a tackle from the free safety and picking up a huge gain of nearly twenty two yards before being caught by the strong safety and Rico who had spilt off Jason to get Riley before he was out of reach.

"That's what I want to see," Huey congratulated him brother flipping opening his armband to find his next play.

Caesar snapped the ball back to Huey again and Huey quickly handed it off to Riley hoping for another big play from his brother, but this time Zana was the quicker one. As Riley's hands closed around the ball and he stepped toward the line Zana broke through that same line and tackled him to the ground for a loss of two yards.

On the next play Huey was stopped trying to rush the ball by Zana and then the cornerback guarding Hiro knocked the ball away before he could get his hands completely around it. Faced with a third and really long Huey waved in Jazmine and Johnny got off the field. The wind had picked up over the last quarter and when Jazmine went to kick a sudden gust of wind caught the ball and pushed it just wide of the left upright.

Jazmine just watched the ball hit the netting behind the uprights. She had gotten the distance needed but she had not factored in the sudden gust of wind that messed up her kick.

"I'm sorry guys," she said to her gathering team.

"No worries Jazzy we all miss sometimes," Caesar assured her.

"Yeah ya've only missed one dis game. Dat's amazing considering," Riley said. "Ya doing better den us. We can't even get ya in good position."

"Thanks guys," Jazmine said returning to the bench up beat again even after her miss. At the bench both Ed and Rummy offered her some encouragement to her while they looked over the video of the kick to correct any mistakes in her form and try to predict how the wind was moving for the next time she was called upon.

Back on the field Stacy too took the ball where the Black Panthers' drive had come to a halt. On her first play she handed the ball off to Ashley who broke through the line of the long side only to find Jason waiting for her. She tried to spin away from him but Jason got a good hold around her waist and ripped her back toward the line of scrimmage knocking the ball from her hands. Once the ball came out of her hands there was a mad scramble for the ball and everyone near it tried to jump on top of the small lemon shaped ball. When the official blew the ball dead a Revolver lineman came up with it.

She could not to risk a third fumble from Ashley at such a crucial time where they needed another touchdown to give them some insurance. With that in mind Stacy put her next two plays in the air connecting with Johnson on both for a total of thirty six yards. As she got her team closer to the end zone things became harder as the things became more squished between the end zone and the line of scrimmage. She tried to connect with Chad but Cindy managed to get the inside route on him and knock the ball away. When she tried to run Caesar was there to stop her which only got her angry. Every time she tried to rush it was always Caesar hitting her and it was getting very annoying. In her past games the one thing she could always rely on was her rushing game and coming into this game she thought things would be no different against a defence that was supposed to be one of the worst in the league.

On her third down she tried to go back to Johnson but overthrew the ball and it went out of bounds yards ahead of Johnson and Riley.

Forced to punt with the ball which was out of their kicker's field goal range the Revolvers' special teams came on the field. Jason and Riley lined up just behind the middle of the Black Panther line when the ball was snapped. Jason took the A gap and burst into the Revolver back end as the Kicker caught the ball and was stepping into his kick. Diving Jason threw his body in front of the punter and when the ball left his foot it hit Jason in the front of his helmet and bounce back behind the kicker.

A step behind Jason Riley passed his dazed rival scooping up the bouncing ball several yards behind the kicker. Preparing for the punt there was no one from the Revolvers squad that far behind the punter and Riley had an easy run down the field to the end zone restoring the lead the Black Panther lead at 25-23. Once there he ripped off his helmet before stripping off his jersey and shoulder pads. Once his upper gear was off he lay down on the ground and folded his arms over his chest. Penalty flags went up immediately and he was given a fifteen yard penalty for excessive celebration.

Back at the line of scrimmage Huey just shook his head in hopelessness. No matter how many times he tried to squash the showboating his team just kept on doing it even when they knew they would get a penalty. When Riley returned to the team wearing his equipment again Huey glared at him. "You better get us those fifteen yards back."

"No worries nigga. Young Reezy'll get ya what ya need," Riley assured him and Jason snickered well aware of Riley's plans for that celebration before the game started.

"Then help us get these two point," Huey said signalling Jazmine who was getting up to kick to stay on the bench.

"Two points?" Riley asked.

"We're going for the two-point conversion," Huey explained.

"Why?" Riley asked. "We're tied why risk it nigga."

"Because Riley if we get these two points and if the Revolvers get another touchdown we'll be in position to score another touchdown and get another two-point conversion to force them to get another touchdown to avoid the tie. I'm thinking toward the future and I can't honestly tell you that Stacy and her team will not get another touchdown in the next four minutes," Huey explained losing Riley in his possibilities.

"Whatever nigga lets just get dese two points," Riley said doing up his helmet straps.

"I'll be giving you the ball in a HB dive Riley. Get the ball in the end zone at all costs. Everyone else run your routes or make a path for him," Huey said to the gathered team before they lined up for the PAT.

Caesar snapped the ball back to Huey who was practically standing on top of him and Huey shuffled back handing the ball off to Riley who was running full speed toward the line. Riley grabbed the ball as he passed Huey and as he was about to hit the line he suddenly cut to the short side running for the end zone marker while Zana mirrored his run along the goal line. Seeing an opening Riley cut into toward the end zone still targeting the goal line marker. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Zana coming at him and he knew he would not make the end zone. He felt Zana's arms wrapping around him as he reach the goal line marker, but he was still short half a yard and the arm he was carrying the ball in was pinned to his side. He would have gone down there if Cindy had not come barrelling in from the end of her shallow route just inside the end zone and hit Zana. The force behind Cindy's hit was enough to shake Zana loose a little and free his arm. Once his arm was free he stretched it out as he fell to the ground hitting the orange goal line marker with it getting the two-point conversion restoring the Black Panther lead at 27-23.

Cindy helped Riley back to his feet. "I told ya I'd have ya back Reezy," she said with her unique laugh and Riley smiled back looking back at Huey.

"Thanks."

"No sweat my homie."

"I told ya I would come through nigga," Riley said to Huey as they went back for the kick off and Huey now signalled Jasmine to come onto the field to take the kick off.

Jazmine booted the ball down field to Johnson who broke through the line and got passed Riley with a juke and a spin and thanks to a block from Zana passed Jason. The only one left between Johnson and the end zone once again was Jazmine and this time she was determined to stop him. Johnson did a little juke to the left but Jazmine stayed with him and when he tried to power through her she turned a little sideways deflecting his power and as he was passing by her she lunged at his hips wrapping her hands around him. Johnson kept going and Jazmine let her arms slip down his legs to his knees where she squeezed and tripped him up.

"Way to go Jazzy," Cindy exclaimed running to catch up to her friend ecstatic at her accomplishment.

Jazmine held her chest her heart beating a hundred times a minute. In that moment she understood why Jason was acting the way he was while covering the running back. It was an incredible adrenaline rush stalking the ball carrier, watching his every move and finally bringing him down like a lion on a gazelle. "That was incredible," she said breathing hard.

"Welcome to my world," Jason grinned from under his helmet.

"Oh god I want to play defence Huey," Jazmine salivated looking at her boyfriend. "You have to let me."

"It's too dangerous you don't have the training," Huey refused.

"Then I'll get the training," Jazmine said.

"No one is going to give you the training," Huey remained firm on his position.

"I'm sure someone will," Jazmine said looking at Cindy.

"Cindy barely knows what she is doing herself she is just using her strength and speed to hit her targets. You are neither fast enough nor strong enough to do that. If you are going to play defence you need more technical training," Huey said.

"Then you teach me," Jazmine said.

"Why would I train you when I don't want you playing something as dangerous as defence?"

Jazmine looked at Riley and Johnny but both shook their heads and when she looked over at Jason who was standing behind Huey she expected the same answer but to her surprise he gave he a slight nod.

"Fine," Jazmine said pretending to be angry at him so Huey would not try to prevent her from learning from the one person who seemed willing to teach her. She stalked off the field a smile splitting her face as soon as she turned away from Huey.

"What you so happy about?" Ed asked as she sat back down on the bench.

"I'm going to play defence next game," Jazmine said happily unable to sit still she got up to practice her kicks into the netting behind the bench. "But you can't tell Huey anything okay."

"Our lips are sealed," Rummy said miming closing a zip over his mouth.

Over the next two minutes both teams exchanged possession of the ball with the only points being scored were from two punts from the Revolvers that on the first one bounced int the end zone and out of bounds and the other Riley was forced to give up the extra point for better field position..

Back on the field after Johnson once again managed to pick up large yards on his kick return Stacy began he own drive from her own forty two yard line. On her first play she tried to rush the ball after she could not find an open receiver and was once again brought down by Caesar three yards beyond the line of scrimmage. She handed the ball off to Ashley who got four yards before this time she was caught by Huey who had come up in the blitz while Jason joined Caesar and Hiro in trying to pressure Stacy.

"We need to get the first down or we could be facing a deficit too large to come back from in one and a half minutes," Stacy said to her team in the huddle.

"So are we going with one of those plays now," Johnson asked.

"We are. We're going to run the Triple Hell Bat," Stacy said.

"Finally," Chad smiled. "I've been waiting to use this one."

"Then make sure you complete it," Stacy said breaking the huddle and lining up off to the side of her centre while Johnson lined up in the quarterback position.

Johnson ended his count and took the ball out of his centre's hand still between his legs and dropped back. As he went back he tossed the ball back to Ashley who was running from the short side of the field to the long side behind her and ran along swooping route up the field. Ashley passed by him on his way up the field and tossed it back once again to Chad who was running behind her going in the opposite direction. The constant back and forth left Jason and Caesar unsure of whom to go after and Chad took advantage of their confusion to lob the ball down field to Johnson who thanks to his odd lining up position was several steps ahead of Riley beyond the Black Panther secondary.

Johnson caught the ball but had to break his stride to catch Chad's a little off and wobbly pass. By breaking his stride he slowed down and Riley was able to catch up to him as Johnson cut back into the middle of the field. Riley wrapped up Johnson and began pulling him to the ground but not before Johnson tossed the ball back to Stacy who was waiting for the ball as the play dictated. With Riley out of the way Stacy had a clear path to the end zone to restore the revolver lead at 31-27. In the end zone she jumped up and down ecstatic screaming at the top of the lungs.

Riley caught the kick off and ran up the sideline and when he was about to be hit he ran out of bounds to stop the clock at fifty eight seconds.

"We need to get the ball in the end zone fast," Huey said to his team in their last huddle.

"So what are we going to do?" Caesar asked. "Are we going to use that play?"

"No we're not that desperate. I have a few other things to try first."

"What then?" Hiro asked.

"We're going to use a type of wild cat formation with me and Cindy," Huey said.

"So two quarterbacks then. That should work at least a few times," Jason agreed before Huey broke up the huddle and they lined up. Huey lined up a few yards behind Caesar with Cindy right beside him. Only Caesar knew who was going to get the ball when they both began the count in sync and they only found out by the position of his fingers on the ball.

Huey and Cindy ended their counts at the exact same time and Caesar snapped the ball back while Rico's defence charged at Huey not expecting anything to be different about this play. They had seen Cindy line up beside Huey all game as a running back so they had no reason to believe this time was any different, except that it was.

Rather than snapping the ball back to Huey, Caesar hiked it to Cindy who immediately fled the pocket looking down field for Jason who was going all out down the field. She threw the ball down the field connecting with Jason who was being covered by Rico. He pulled the ball out of the air using his height fifteen yards down the field but he made it no further as Rico caught pulled him down to the ground from behind, but he managed to get out of bounds stopping the clock.

Huey rushed his offence into place and without a huddle lined up in a wild cat formation again. This time Zana directed her offence to try and get both of them but with their power cut in half when Huey got the ball he was able to get a short pass off to Johnny near the first down marker as the clock ran through the forties toward the thirties.

Calling a time out Huey stopped the clock and with the extra time talked strategy for the next play that would likely be one of their last plays.

When play resumed Huey got the ball again and quickly tossed it sideways to Cindy as Zana led the charge against him. Once again Cindy found Johnny down field where he caught the ball and stepped out of bounds stopping the clock again at twenty three seconds. Johnny had only gotten eight yards but it was enough as Huey signalled for Jazmine to get on the field. He was not going to get a touchdown he knew that, but he had another plan to make up the four point difference and at least tie the game.

Jazmine came onto the field and kicked the thirty three yard field goal making the score 31-30 but they were still one point away from tying the game as Huey planned.

"Onside kick," Huey called to his team as they lined up for the kick off and everyone made ready for the kick.

Jazmine kicked the ball diagonally fifteen yards toward Riley, Johnny, and Jason near the sideline. Standing behind Jazmine all three of them took off for the onside kicker. With his explosive first step Jason cleared the fifteen yards easily and was in place to catch the ball without it bouncing near the sideline before any of the Revolvers' players even came close to the ball.

"What are we going to do now?" Caesar asked Huey in a huddle. This close to the end of the game neither team left the field eager to get on with things.

"We give the ball to Jason again," Huey said.

"Even he can't guarantee getting the ball to the end zone with only one play, its more than sixty yards. It's like Russian roulette but with five bullets and one empty chamber," Caesar said shocked by the seeming lack of planning his best friend was showing so close to the end of the game. If they lost here they were out of the tournament and could not go on to face Cairo and finally end whatever Cairo held against Huey.

"But I can," Jason said.

"What?"

"I can give you a one hundred percent guarantee that I can get the ball to the end zone in one play," Jason said with his cocky smirk that seemed unnaturally cocky this time. "Just give me the ball."

"You sure you can get this?" Huey asked. "I'm betting everything on this one play."

"It's not like I have to hit the end of the end zone it's just got to break the plane and go out," Jason said before the official blew the whistle to end the time out.

"Alright let's do dis niggas," Riley said pumped up by the pressure of the situation.

Huey shouted his count at the top of his lungs trying to be heard over the screams and shouts of the crowd who were going nuts with the suspense of the last play. Ending his count Huey took the snap from Caesar the wind blowing in his face and immediately tossed it to Jason who was standing near the long side sideline...

Cliff hanger dum dum dummmm... What's gonna happen next? Who knows?
