Flashback

Troy, picked up the shot glass and drank the contents, he looked at his team mates, one was taking it quite well. Gabe was always taking the worst of news very well but he knew Damon was going to go into a funk and a depressed Damon was not a safe one.

"So can I count on you guys to suggest to Lynn on having a picnic before we ship out to Buffalo?"

"Yeah, sure man it certainly won't be the same when your gone "Gabe told him as he reached for the shot glass Damon was passing over to them.

"Jack, please don't run in the house. Why don't you go see if your father needs anything? Jackson was the boy they had adopted he turned 8 a week ago. It was Troy's idea to adopt the young boy. He said it was better to give kids who had nothing something. Troy was adopted himself so he felt a connection with the younger child and Lynn fell in love with the boy.

"Sure mom" jack called as he ran out of the house into the backyard to see his dad and his god fathers.

"Dad, mom wants to know if you want anything I think she just wanted me out of her hair for right now. Her and Aunt Megan are talking, I think soon there will be crying "

Troy only chuckled he knew that his wife was trying to handle this but out of all the other wives Evelyn and Megan were her rocks and now moving to Buffalo o was going to cause a large phone big and a few tears .

"I know buddy , but we will be fine right , Gabe and Damon will visit us and when the Sabres play the Mustangs we will se them then as well right guys?" Troy gave them a look.

"Yeah, buddy we will be in contact with you a lot, there is email and phones and team games" Gabe told the young boy.

Lynn sighed as she put the wine glass down, she stood up and turned off the fire place and looked at the picture of her son and her husband. She silently wished that Jack was there and not at hockey camp. She was ready to call it a night when her phone caught her off guard. She shuffled over to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Um yea is this Lynn Kingston?"



She looked at the phone with a puzzled look before answering "yes it is Can I help you?"

A sigh of relief was let go on the other end of the phone "Its Gabe. Gabe McCall"

A smile crossed her face "Hi Gabe, it's been a long time, how are you?"

" I'm okay, there is a lot of changes here like they fired my dad as coach , and we got a new rookie after Adam died , Trevor LeMonde. He is pretty good but a few of us are having a hard time with the changes.

"A few of you huh? Are you sure that you aren't talking about my pal are you?"

"I am, I would never call you if things weren't as bad as they are. Lynn , he really is taking a turn for the worse , you know how he was after his wife and child died well first he seemed to deal , but after Adam died . It was like the dam broke and he just doesn't care. Last week he was accused of raping a young woman"

That had gotten her attention "What?!"

She could hear her friend sigh again " It's fine now the case was dismissed but he really is doing some crazy shit ,even for him . I've tried to talk to him and he isn't listening to me, I was thinking maybe you could talk to him give him a call"

"Sure , I'll give the bone head a call, but right now I have to get some sleep , its been a long day I just closed on Troy's house . Jack is at hockey camp for the summer and it's just me. How bout you give me your number and his I'll call you back in the morning " she heard another sigh of relief " Thanks Lynn I'll talk to you tomorrow " then the line went dead.

Lynn shook her head as she put the phone down and walked into her bed room, things must be pretty bad for Gabe to call her . She let out a yawn as she stumbled over to her bed. Pulled back the covers and climbed in. She looked at the number on the piece of paper.

"Damn you "she huffed as she grabbed her cell phone on the night stand and dialed Damon's number, it rang and a machine picked up.

"Damon, my favorite enforcer of all time, its Lynn why don't you give me a call when you get a chance. Jack and I were thinking this summer of coming up to see you and Gabe . I miss you guys . Call me " she left a number on the machine and then climbed back into bed.

More to come just had to get this off my chest….
