“Emergency team meeting in 10 minutes on the field! Fail to be there douchebags and you’re kicked out of the team!”[/quote]

Sawyer had stopped in his tracks in the middle of the quad as he read the recent message from his team captain. He exchanged a look with the boys once their eyes left their own phone screens to meet his, all three shaking their heads as they headed for the field as they had before.. not looking forward to it too much, this time around.

[color=gold][b]"Can't wait to hear what's Max's problem, now."[/b][/color]

[color=cyan][b]"Poor Maxy Pad. Must not have gotten enough, on Saturday."[/b][/color] Kol laughed, Jack offering a bit of a smirk but Sawyer just eyed Kol.

[color=#40733d][b]"Okay, seriously Kol? If rumors are true him and Kel hooked up.. you know how I feel about Kellie. Sh-she and I are good friends. And more importantly, how Max feels about her. She's not just another conquest to him. Be a bit more respectful, yeah?"[/b][/color]

Kol furrowed his eyebrows and readjusted his backpack shoulder strap before looking ahead and away from Sawyer's hard gaze, [color=cyan][b]"Yes, dad."[/b][/color]

Sawyer rolled his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh. [b][color=#40733d]"Whatever, man. Just be sure and shut up while Max rips us a new one for whatever we fucked up on this time."[/color][/b]

As the boys made it to the field, they could see Max and half the team standing around on the green. Max looked as if he was [i]fuming[/i]. This wasn't going to be good. The three boys greeted the rest of their team, shortly being followed by the last few members. Everyone fell silent when Max's voice boomed a 'So!', the air thick with tension which seemed to quickly defuse with the next sentence Max spoke to his players. Tripling with the following. Sawyer's eyes followed Max's till they found the target he'd locked on, his eyebrows furrowing. [i]Brad.[/i]

He'd had a few run-ins with the guy off the field, which were never pleasant. One in particular, in which Brad had crossed Gavin's paths and had left both Lockwood brothers' having major dislike for the guy. Brad may not have been as bad as Aidan, in Sawyer's book, but he was up there with the other massive DBs of King's Academy's senior class.

Kol nudged Sawyer with his elbow, drawing his eyes over to his friend.

[color=#40733d][i]'What?'[/i][/color] Sawyer mouthed.

Kol made a gesture with his hand, his facial expression reading as clear as if he'd spoken the words himself. [color=cyan][i]What's his problem?[/i][/color]

[color=36506B][b]“It has come to my attention that my cousin got beat up. By one of you fuckers.”[/b][/color]

Jack and Kol both looked around with extremely confused looks for a moment before they noticed Sawyer glaring at Brad. The two boys pieced it together, narrowing their eyebrows in vicious glances towards their fellow teammate while everyone else seemed to be clueless dumbshits. [i]As if they didn't know.[/i]

Sawyer had heard about what had happened with Archer and Brad.. and Marisol, and Sonny. The rest of Max's rant left Sawyer with a bit more than a bad taste in his mouth. Not only for Brad, but for Max as well. Sure, the guy had some anger issues but to take one teammates off-the-field DB moments out on the whole team? [b]That was some shit.[/b]

[color=cyan][b]"Soooooo.. why not take it out solely on the guy who [i]actually[/i] did it?"[/b][/color] Kol held his arm out towards Brad, staring down Max's retreating back.

As much as Sawyer hated to admit it, Kol had his support on this one. Sawyer gave Kol a 'Shut the fuck up' look before stepping in front of his friends and a few other teammates, some dispersing to go about their lunch hour while some stayed behind. It took a lot for the boy to speak up next. Sawyer knew Max wasn't in a forgiving mood, and he was going to put his spot on the team on the line just as Kol [sub](hopefully [i]inadvertently)[/i][/sub] had.

[color=#40733d][b]"Max.. you know as well as I that family is important. And our team is like a family in itself,"[/b][/color] Sawyer gave the large, douchebag teammate of theirs a glance before looking back in Max's direction. [color=#40733d][b]"You know my brother is also... [i]gay[/i]. And I would do anything for him, expecially if it came to some asshole taking shots at him. You know this. So, why give [i]him[/i] a break?"[/b][/color] He gestured over to Brad who seemed to be uber pissed off. [color=#40733d][b]"Just because he's on our team?! He's not acting like family, so what gives, man? You say you're not okay with hate crimes, yet you let him go? Was Marisol smacking him around enough retaliation for what he did to your cousin?"[/b][/color]

There were moments of silence that followed, only to be broken by Jack mumbling under his breath. [sub][color=gold][b]"Bro."[/b][/color][/sub]
