A/N: So here is Chapter 5 and finally some real football. I wanted to get Ed and Rummy into the story eventually and I think I've found a good place for them, but I'm still studying their characters so please excuse any inaccuracies, but please point them out to me in a review or message and give some feedback how to improve them and any other character so they seem more like the originals. I'm crossed about adding a romantic subplot to the story as it takes away from the main plot but who knows, review and give your opinion. Anyone who gets the name drops in this chapter kudos to you.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Boondocks, the Calgary Stampeders or Hamilton Tiger-cats or any players or symbols in that CFL, same goes for the NFL or anything else I missed for that matter.

Chapter 5 – Bodyguards

The black Escalade peeled onto the school grounds busting up the school ground's fence as the light of gunshots flashed out of passenger side window. The SUV sped across the blacktop to the football field its base pounding from an incoherent rap song and did a donut before coming to a sudden stop at the edge of the field.

"What the hell is this now?" Kyle cursed his attention drawn to the gun blazing SUV.

"You don't think it's...?" Cindy asked Riley who was now sitting up watching Rex rather than the black SUV.

"Of course it is. Who else would be so stupid?" Huey answered. He was thankful for the interruption but knew what was to come would probably cause even more trouble.

The Escalade's engine turned off, the front doors opened and two white men stepped out. From the driver's side stepped out a man with short red hair and green eyes. He was wearing his baggy pants well below his waist so his white boxers were showing with a dark green bullet proof vest under a beige trench coat he wore off his shoulders and a black toque (beanie). Around his neck on a heavy chain hung a diamond covered 'W'. In one hand he carried a PGS-10 shotgun and in his other a black Smith and Wesson Model 119 pistol. On the other side of the SUV a man with blonde dreads pulled back under a red, white and blue bandanna rolled up into a headband and black shades stepped around the front of the Escalade. He was dressed in a black suit under a heavy black trench coat. Resting on his shoulder was a M14 rifle.

"Can this get any worse?" Huey groaned. "Everyday more white boys come trespassing on my field."

"What do we have here Ed?" Rummy asked his partner rubbing his thumb across his bottom lip before grabbing his crotch and swaying his shoulders for a dramatic strut.

"Ya sound sexy when ya're curious," Ed said as they advanced on the field earning a confused look from just about everybody. "What da fuck ya'll lookin' at?"

From the field, Riley could not help but throw in a, "Nigga you gay."

"What the fuck are you saying Ed?" Rummy asked stopping and looking at his friend.

"What?" Ed said turning to look at Gin and they all saw the small blue headset in his ear.

"That fucking thing again. What did I tell you about Nigga technology?" Gin huffed shaking his head in shame at the stupidity of his friend. "Turn that shit off we have a job to do."

Ed looked back at the field and smiled at the three intruders. "Fine. I'll call you back." Ed pressed hung up his ear piece. "Happy now? Can't even talk to bitches anymore."

"What the hell do the two of you want?" Kyle barked having enough of the two bumbling fools. "Can't you see this is none of your business?"

"We're Americans everything is our business. It's our god damn given right as Americans," Rummy said lowering his M14 to point at the arrogant rich boy. "Now I suggest you shove off before I get trigger happy."

"Boss I think we should leave," the girl said grabbing Kyle's sleeve.

"Mina shut it," Kyle said, breaking her grip. He started walking hotly toward the pair of ex-marines but Ed fired his pistol at his feet stopping him in his tracks. "Maybe we should go...for now, but we'll be back to settle this any other, you can be assured of that, Huey Freeman."

"Ya bitch ass is welcome anytime," Riley retorted his breathing finally back to normal and he popped up into his fighting stance. "Just bring some more homies next time, nigga."

"Off ya go," Ed taunted him, waving his pistol toward Kyle and his quickly retreating group. "I better not catch ya bitch ass up in here again our all cap a mothafucker."

"What's up guys?" Ed said putting his pistol away and fist bumping Riley.

"What are you two doing here?" Huey asked, his eyes narrowing. Anywhere Ed and Rummy were trouble was only a moment behind.

"Ed's granddad asked us to come as security," Rummy explained. "Supposedly these tournaments can get a little dirty so me and Ed are here to make sure no one stops you from winnin'."

"Ah damn dis is gettin' good," Riley said with a fist pump. "Ed and Rummy are gonna by hangin' wit us now. Yo, yo dere gonna be a party up in this shit."

"No there will not," Huey corrected him before turning to Jason. "These two degenerates are Ed Wuncler III, the grandson of your contractor and..."

"Gin Rummy," Jason finished, locking hands with Rummy before giving the wannabe criminal mastermind a fist bump.

"You know them?" Huey said a little surprised.

"Sure he does who do think got Ed's grandfather to import him," Rummy said, slapping Jason on the back. "We've known JJ for several years now."

"How, he's Canadian?" Jazmine asked.

"Over in Iraq," Ed said.

"But he's too young to serve," Caesar added.

"Nah, not him personally, his older brother Jessie, god rest his bitch loving soul. He was a merc and assigned to our unit to find WMDs," Rummy explained.

"Weapons you did not find," Huey interjected.

"The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absences," Rummy replied as he always did when this subject was brought up."

"His bro was straight up trippin', Riley, bitches lined up in front of him even those carpet wearing ones," Ed added and by his tone they could tell he was still upset about how his tour went.

"Fine then whatever, just go sit over there and don't cause any trouble," Huey said motioning toward the bench. He turned back to his team and cleared his throat. "That was alright for the first day, but some of us have to get better.

"First before we start running drills I will be assigning positions. From here on out your training will be designed to you position," Huey said and everyone perked up. "I will of course be the Quarterback that should not be too much of a surprise at this point. Cindy and Riley will share backup duties if it comes to that. Riley will also be our primary running back."

"True dat," Riley whooped, rising the roof.

"Anyway, Jason will be a wide receiver along with Hiro who will also double as a running back when needed," Huey continued ignoring his brother's outburst.

Jason and Hiro fist bumped.

"Cindy you will be our tight end."

"Of course B." Cindy stuck a flexing pose. "No one gonna be breakin' my guard."

"I'm sure you all know you are linemen," Huey said to the group of big men who were seated off to the side. "Jazmine because we do not have enough people you are going to be our third receiver, but your primary duty will be as kicker."

"Alright Huey. I'll do my best," Jazmine nodded determinedly.

"Okay with that done we'll start practice. I want my receivers and Riley running routes. Split into two sides, one offence and one defence and Cindy and Riley with alternate quarterback duties. The line men will also split into two groups and run plays off the line of scrimmage to get some human practice, later you'll practice with the sled dummies. Caesar and Jazmine you'll be coming with me. Jazmine you will be working on kicking and Caesar I have something I want to run by you. Any questions?"

"I have a couple," Jason said.

"What?" Huey asked.

"I've been here for over a week now and I still have no real idea about this tournament we competing in. I've heard it been called a tournament and a season which is it because at my old high school our season was ten sometimes eleven games long?" Jason asked.

"I thought Wuncler already told you," Huey answered.

"He just offered me a contract to play football, but he never gave the details, not that I cared to ask, he was paying well," Jason also admitted thinking with hindsight that he maybe should have asked these question during contract negotiations.

"Well it's a tournament. Our league is like a secondary league. We have a varsity team that competes in a full season, that's why we are having such a hard time finding players. Most of our linemen were kicked off or banned from the real team," Huey explained. "There are eight teams in the mixed gender league, four to our division and four in another. They are made up from the surrounding schools. In our division there is our school, George Bush High School, Ronald Reagan High School, and Roosevelt High School. Not that any of those people really deserve schools named after them. The tournament lasts two months and we will play three games in our division, the first place team goes on to face the first place team in the other division for the championship. That is our goal or Wuncler loses the bet."

"I get it now," Jason said.

"Good, then let's start practice," Huey said and the team broke up.

"What do you think they are working on?" Hiro asked as the receivers broke off from the group to retrieve their shoulder pads from the pile near the bench.

"Man this shit is boring," Rummy complained as they got into hearing distance. "Can't you guys make this more interesting?"

"Well I'm sure da cheerleaders are practicin' in da gym right now and da cafeteria probably has some food still left out," Cindy suggested picking up her shoulder pads that were covered in a New Orleans Saints jersey with the number 24 on the back and front.

"Ya love peepin' da bitches Ed," Riley added picking up his own pads with a Chicago Bears jersey without numbers on it. His black helmet was a unique helmet with a gold tinted visor and he had painted it with his Lethal Interjection symbol on one side and Thugnificient and his crew on the other. They had become hot again in the last few years and were back on top.

"Save us some food," Hiro said, grabbing his pads which were covered in a Calgary Stampeders jersey.

"What team is dat?" Riley asked looking at the foreign red, white, and black jersey with a galloping horse on each sleeve and the initialism CFL on the collar.

"The Calgary Stampeders, they're a team from the CFL Canada's professional league. Jason gave to me after we watched some of their games. Canadian football is so different from our football."

"Is dat were dat one is from?" Riley asked pointing this time to his pads that had the yellow, black, and white jersey of the Hamilton Tiger-cats. On each of the soldiers were a leaping tiger and the words 'Tiger Cats' was stitched on the front. It had the number 88 on the front and back with the name Stala above the back numbers.

"Another team called the Hamilton Tiger-Cats; they are my team, from my hometown," Jason explained pulling his pads on and snapping them up. He grabbed a ball from the pile beside the bench and flipped it in his hand.

"Give us a call, a call not a text, if you need us or when you are finished," Rummy said as he and Ed got up and left for the school. Even though they were not students no one would say another as Ed's grandfather owned the school.

They crossed the field toward the far 35 yard line before setting up in their first play. Jason lined up first as the defence against Cindy while Riley played quarterback and Hiro watched. Riley hiked the ball and fell back while Cindy took off in a simple hook route and Jason shadowed her. Riley threw the ball into the air, his spiral a little off, but it was accurate at least.

"You're not getting this ball," Jason told her, effortlessly keeping pace with her.

"We'll see JJ," Cindy said suddenly putting on the brakes and cross stepping back toward Riley as the ball dipped short of their current route. Jason was not fooled as he mirrored her movements, but Cindy got in front him and using her arms kept him there until the ball almost fell into her waiting hands and chest. As soon as the ball made contact, Jason grabbed her and dragged her to the ground while trying to interrupt her catch with his hands. He managed to hit her arm as they hit the ground and forced the ball out.

"Told you," Jason said, untangling from Cindy and jumping back to his feet.

Cindy slammed her fists into the ground and cursed, "God dammit I almost had it." Cindy got to her feet and picked up the ball. "Run it again!"

Jason looked over to Hiro who just waved them away and said, "Go ahead, but I get the next two."

They lined up in front of Riley again and he hiked the ball to himself again and fell back as Cindy and Jason took off.

Cindy hooked in again, but this time could not fully get inside on Jason but it was enough as the ball began to drop she reached out with Jason nearly dragged right over her and pulled it in before he brought her down again.

This time Cindy was the first to her feet and she proceeded to spike the ball in victory. "I told you. I told you I would get it," she rubbed it into Jason's face while Hiro and Riley laughed.

"Aight it's my turn to defend," Riley shouted lining up against Hiro while Cindy jogged back to take up the quarterback position while Jason sat on his helmet off to the side.

On the other side of the field Huey was huddled with Caesar while Jazmine had a bucket of balls and field goal holders set up facing the goal posts as she practiced her field goals.

"So how does it look?" Caesar said flipping a football in one hand like Jason had done.

"Our offense seems alright but besides Jason our defence is horrible," Huey answered as Hiro easily broke passed riley, easily catching the ball and running to the end zone where he spiked the ball like Cindy.

"Lucky Wuncler got him then, but I think tomorrow we should focus solely on defence," Caesar said falling immediately into the role of assistant captain and assistant coach. "And I think we should do full team drills."

"Yeah I think so too," Huey agreed still watching the receivers even cringing slightly as Jason caught Riley after he took the ball from Cindy behind their line of scrimmage. "We should see if we can get part of the varsity practice team to help us tomorrow."

Behind them Jazmine had lined up for a thirty yard field goal put sent it wide. "Maybe we should get their kicker over here to."

"Yeah,"

Huey let practice run for another hour before he blew his whistle to call an end to practice. He wanted them to continue practicing but he needed to be outside the movie theatre in an hour to protest the opening of the new Eddie Griffin movie.

"Okay everyone great practice," Caesar said to the gathered team. It was an unspoken agreement between Caesar and Huey that when it came to encouragement and praise Caesar would do it and this normally meant Huey gave the opening speech at practice and Caesar gave the one at the end. "You all did great so go shower up and head home. We'll meet you back here tomorrow at lunch as usual."

Too tired after the hard practice everyone just got up from their one knee kneel and headed silently back to the school and their locker rooms, that is except for Jason and Hiro who stayed behind.

Seeing the two boys still on the field Cindy doubled back leaving Riley who was calling Ed and Rummy to go hang out at Ed's mansion while Jazmine was trying to convince Huey to let her come to the protest with some lemonade.

"What are you guys doing?" Cindy asked the two boys who were drawing playing on the ground.

"We're going to continue practicing. Our defence could be better and we need to get used to how each other thinks and moves. Huey has other things on his mind after practice so I understand why he is leaving so earlier, but Wuncler is paying me to win, so I will do what I can to win," Jason explained.

"And I just like playing," Hiro said with a smile. "I want to be better so I can play more."

Cindy seemed to think for a moment then she picked up a ball. "While then I'm in. I could use more defence practice."

"Well set the ball up then," Jason said, putting his helmet back on and jogging back to the centre of the field. Hiro and Cindy looked at each other and followed.

Just in front of the door Caesar looked back on the field with Jazmine. "What do you think is going on down there?"

"I don't know but it can't be anything bad," Jazmine whistled, watching her best friend as she launched the ball down the field to Hiro who escaped Jason's first grab but was taken down five yards further down the field.

"You think our little white gangster friend has a thing for our northern white brother?" Caesar asked.

"Maybe, but there is also Riley," Jazmine answered.

"What about Huey?"

"I'm not talking about that," Jazmine snapped quickly blushing before elbowing him in the ribs before going inside.

Caesar continued to look down on the field bobbing his head to the beat he played through his head for his next song. Even though Huey was the captain of the team he felt like it was more his team and he wanted his players to be at their best. He wanted to win.

Will the team solve their weaknesses before their first game? What trouble are Ed and rummy going to cause for the gang? Is something brewing in the offensive core? Find out in soon
