I sped up my car. It was another lazy Saturday and I was cruising around
aimlessly. It was better than being at home and school wasn't interesting
right now. Hockey was suspended for one week while Orion worked everything
out with all the teachers. No big. I honked my horn at some guy who nearly
hit me, granted I was the one who ran the red light but you know.
I ended up stopped at on a busy intersection in down town Minneapolis. I sighed, bored out of my mind with no clue what to do. I glanced around my surroundings; I'd never spent a ton of time in this part of the city. Glancing down at my watch I was forced to sigh, eleven hours until my father is official asleep. That is the only time we seem to get along. I glanced around and spotted a car that looked vaguely familiar, then another. I scanned the windows of the dinner until I saw them. Yep the little Duckeys were playing together how sweet. But why wasn't I invited, I mean I am a part of the team now. Man, quenching thrist washed over me. I should really grab a drink; I mean I am simply parched. When the light turned to green I started up and I turned off. This could be fun.
I walked in looking around. I've never technically been in a dinner. I've had fast food and all that, but my Father thought dinners were for dirty truckers. I'll be sure to mention that I stopped by one when I get home, he'll be thrilled. I smiled again, this day just kept getting better and better.
"Imagine seeing you here," I said walking across the room to the Ducks booth in the corner.
"I should say the same about you," Charlie responded, he looked like he was seconds away from committing second-degree murder on my ass.
"Oh, just thought I'd stop by. Maybe have a little chat."
"We don't except." Julie said glaring at me.
"Except what dear?" I asked giving her a coy look.
"The apology you were no doubt going to give us."
"Apologize, for what? I'm not the one who failed those test you were. Just like it was me who egged my own locker. I came here to warn you."
"Oh really," Russ said in a sarcastic tone that grated me the wrong way.
"Look your little Duck tricks might mean something out here. But in there, you are nothing. Anything you throw at me I'll do one better. I've known those people my entire life. And lets face it I'm King they practically kiss my ass. So I'd stop now before this gets messy and some poor Duckeys loose their scholarships. Messing with me is a dangerous game, are you ready for it Conway?"
I paused letting my words sink into to there falling faces. I was right, just simply stating facts. "I guess on the other hand, it would be fun to watch every scheme fall flat on its face." I raised my eyebrows and gave a charming smile. "I better go, you know how it is, there's a party out at the club. I'd say see you there, but we both know that wouldn't happen." I strutted out like I owned the place. And for all I knew I did, my Dad's company owns like half of this crappy town.
"So who exactly was that charming young man?" Coach Bombay asked. What Banks didn't know was he harassed my in front of my Mother, Coach Orion his wife their daughter Emily and Coach Bombay. We'd started having brunch every Saturday that Bombay was in town, which was about once a month.
"Are Star player, he's amazing doesn't even need a stick he just uses the one he has shoved up his ass." Russ said shaking his head. I tried to suppress my laugh but when mom giggled I knew it was okay.
"Adam Banks, you remember him?" I said taking a bite of my toast and looking at Mom and Coach Bombay.
"Yeah," Bombay said nodding his head, "hell of a player."
"But such a nasty boy." My mom said her eyebrows scrunching together. She was now officially worried. I had to smile, that's a Mom for ya.
"Ahh, it's cool, we can deal, right guys?" I said comforting her and myself. A Hell Yeah Filled the room as well as some whopping and hollering.
"Adam Banks, are we talking about Philip Banks son?"
"I don't know, why?" Charlie asked curious.
"Oh he's just a fellow lawyer and a bitch to go against in court. He's an out for blood guy, Adam just seem like the perfect son for that guy, man I hate him." Bombays hand was in a tight fist.
"Wait, Philip Banks the guy who played for the Avalanche's right?" Orion added looking at Bombay, it was weird seeing my two coaches together.
"Sounds right, but I don't know if it's the same guy." He looked down taking a sip of coffee, "But I know who will." He whipped out his cell phone. I already knew he was calling Jan. After the horrible loss of Hans, Jan had taken over the skate shop. I hadn't known him extremely well before Junior Good Will games time. But it was then I found out Jan knew absolutely everything about hockey. He loved it, he was like a walking encyclopedia.
"Hey Jan, It's me." Bombay said. There was some silence while Gordon either nodded his head or rolled his eyes, more than likely getting a lecture about not stopping by yet. "I know, I'll be by later." Haha I rule. "Anyway I wanted to ask you, Philip Banks what do you know about Philip Banks?" He asked. He was silent for what felt like forever. Jan could talk anyone to death about hockey. They said there goodbyes and Coach turned to us.
"Yep, Philip Banks, NHL extraordinaire, quit just a few years into his promising career."
"Why?" asked Orion.
"A little thing called Father hood." A smile came across my mom's lips. She had a thing for guys who stuck around for the kids, go figure.
