тАЬSo what? So you can go for him again and lose the game?тАЭ

Tom ignored him. He scanned the other side of the field. тАЬHeтАЩs not
there.тАЭ

тАЬTom, we can win the playoffs this time,тАЭ pleaded Mike. тАЬWe can get it
all back. We can take them. If you just ignore himтАФтАЭ

Tom looked down at him briefly then stared back at the Legs. тАЬHeтАЩs
not here,тАЭ he said with satisfaction. тАЬI must have hurt him pretty bad when I
checked him.тАЭ

Mike buried his head in his hands. тАЬWhich got you thrown out of the
game and we lost, six to two. We had it in the bag, Tom!тАЭ

Tom walked away without reply and started stretching with the
Velociraptors.

Mike sighed and looked over to the Legs for himself. No Sebastian.
His breathing eased. Maybe it was just a rumor. Good.

He hooked up the transceiver and started making suggestions first to
Victor, the left wing. Then, he took his two defensive Megalosaurs to task
for not covering the holes fast enough. He heard the rippling tone on the
transceiver and switched over to his cell.

тАЬMike here.тАЭ

тАЬHoney, IтАЩve been thinking.тАЭ Myrna always started a conversation that
way. It gave Mike a sinking feeling.

тАЬYes?тАЭ He switched channels and yelled at Victor. тАЬStretch your tail
and your talons together. You canтАЩt stretch them one at a time.тАЭ

тАЬтАФso the toilet is loose on the floor. The plumber came in and said
the floor would have to be ripped up. I called the tile man and heтАЩs come
and says we have to select a whole new color.тАЭ

тАЬThat sounds okay.тАЭ Switched channels again. тАЬTom, youтАЩve got to
warm up just like everybody else.тАЭ Tom snarled at him across the field but
started stretching his tail.

тАЬтАФthey look as good as theyтАЩre going to be. I want you to look, too.тАЭ

тАЬI trust your judgment, honey,тАЭ he said, then quickly changed channels
to the staff line. тАЬBarney, weтАЩre going to be ready to start soon and the
water jugs arenтАЩt out. See to it.тАЭ Then, back to Myrna.

тАЬтАФso heтАЩs going to call you in about half an hour.тАЭ
