Chapter 84: The SuperStar. (1/2)
" Hey! Who are you? " Lukas asked in a gentle tone, he did not know Henry had a baby back home.
" Lucy... and she’s three years old." The baby replied back as if she were used to this kind of talk on the phone.
" Okay, so I need you to put your father on the phone, please." Lukas said, while he was trying to get inside the shower, the vanity truck has a shower inside.
" Dad is not home." Lucy’s voice came back, she repeated what she said earlier.
"Alright, no worries, tell him that I called," Lukas said, then wanted to end the call, but Lucy had something to say.
" Ote... Next time you come with chocolate, don’t send it by Dad," Lucy said. Lukas understood that Henry must’ve given her chocolate in his name, but she didn’t know him.
" I will come next time, with a lot of chocolate," Lukas said, then ended the call. Terry was waiting for him, and he also needed to know about his medical reports from the MLB doctors.
After changing his clothes, Lukas went to the field, he saw Manager Terry was, and Mike and Jimmy were beside him.
" Lukas, you passed, come join us for lunch, then you can go, and where’s your manager?" Terry asked, as he had to confirm everything with his manager.
" I don’t know either, he was not home the last time I called him," Lukas said with a shrug of his shoulder.
" Alright, no worries. Tomorrow is our game with the Chicago Cubs, it’s in Chicago, so you have to go to the airport at two in the noon and take the plane from there. I’ll inform your manager separately, don’t worry," Terry said, then gave Lukas a copy of his report.
" Alright , I will be there, but I am missing my classes." Lukas complained because he wanted to study seriously in this life.
"Yes, I also wanted you to study, but this season ends with three more games, so please help us out. We are currently tied with the Chicago Cubs at the bottom. If we defeat them in these two games, we can at least be saved from the ultimate last position in the National League standings." Terry requested with a smile on his face.
"I will do that, no worries. Oh! I got a call from my manager, Lukas’s phone started vibrating all of a sudden. Seeing it was Henry, he smiled and walked to the side to talk.
"Lukas! Sorry about that. I went to the grocery store, Lucy is addicted to the phone nowadays, so she kept it with her." Henry’s tired voice came in from the other side.
"No worries, I got to talk with her, and she sounded very cute. I will meet her when I come back to Princeton. Now I need you to come here as soon as you can, Coach. I need the checkbook from my dorm too, I can’t hand these guys’ cards, and I don’t have any cash left. Lukas said the system was not triggering that much anymore, but he needed money now.
"Alright, I will come as soon as I can, don’t worry about the fuel money, I have already sent them $100 for your fuel, so don’t worry about it. They’ll also pick up the second car and drive it to Chicago, it will take around twelve hours to reach that car, so one of the twins will leave tonight," Henry replied and cleared many problems for Lukas.
" Alright, then I will wait for you at the hotel," Lukas said, then ended the phone call.
" Come, I will show you a secret place where you can get food without getting hassled, you don’t need to hide your face either," Terry said with a smile on his face and then walked to the stadium’s corner, and there was the last steel fence.
" See that, Lukas? That house? That house serves us and the football team, that’s actually a restaurant but not open to the general public. Terry introduced a small two-story home to Lukas.
Lukas nodded his head in response, then walked with them as the four of them were having a meal together.
" Why didn’t the team join?" Lukas asked, he thought the whole team was going to eat together.
" They don’t deserve it, the whole year was awful. They did whatever was in their best interest, especially that pitcher! His season was the best among the whole team, but his arrogance has led the team astray," Terry complained while going outside the stadium and going towards that food place.
" Oh! I didn’t know that, I’ve actually never seen a Philly game before, so I hope I can do well," Lukas said. Jimmy just snorted, and Mike smiled cheekily hearing what Lukas just said.
As soon as they entered the premises of the restaurant, Lukas smelled meat and freshly cooked, his instinct told him that this meat would be extremely tasty.
Entering the cozy-looking place, Lukas was shocked to find out how small the place was, and it really looked like a home—very small and perfect for a family of two.
" This place is run by an old couple, they sell steaks to the Philadelphia team—perfect steaks in the world," Terry said jokingly a little, then proceeded to sit down at one of the open tables.
" It feels perfect when you win a game and eat it, but if you don’t win, only eat your fat ass off, then it tastes like shit." A taunt was heard from upstairs, followed by someone walking down stairs.
Then Lukas saw a Black person, he seemed to carry an aura around him, and even Mike and Jimmy gritted their teeth in anger.
" Donovan McNabb , nasty little bitch," Mike muttered under his breath.
As the Phillies were losing every match this year, Donovan McNabb, on the other hand doing whatever he could to win and perform his best, he was arguably the superstar of Philadelphia right now.
