Sneak Preview ( :D )

3 years later...
Julio and Rudy met in the same spot they did 3 years ago, after he had won the College World Series as a freshman. He had gotten better over the years, developing his pitches and increasing his speed. Julio and Emma were still together, their relationship strong as ever. Now that it is 2008 and Julio was just about done with his four years in college, it was time for him to become part of the Astros.

3 Years Later...
Julio and Rudy met in the same spot they did 3 years ago, the same spot after Julio had won the College World Series as a freshman. Julio hadn't changed that much over the years. He still had the same shyward attitude. He and Emma were still in a relationship. Julio was thinking about proposing to her. . .soon. The only part that Julio had changed in was his overall baseball ability. He had developed his breaking pitches and increased his speed. His "NO" was effective as ever, jamming hitters for 4 years straight. Julio may not have changed over the years, but his life was about to.

Rudy: Julio!

Julio: Hey Rudy!

Rudy: How you doing son.

Julio: I've been doing great. Same old same old.

Rudy: That's great to hear. Nice game out there today. A complete game 3 hitter with 11 Strike Outs and No Runs! I think that Astros will need that type of pitching on their team.

Julio: Well, I'm ready for them Rudy. I was lucky enough to play a game with the MLB Superstars after I beat the Champion Rings in the College World Series a year ago. Got to face some of the greats of the game! We lost 2-0, but I pitched 8 innings and got 8 Strike Outs, most of them coming off swing and misses! They got to me, but the times I did, I learned from my mistakes. I've got the experience of playing against Major Leaguers before I'm even on a team!

Rudy: That's what the Astros also like to see off of our players. Baseball IQ. You're the whole package, Julio. Me and the organization think that you are ready. Becky does too. Well, she always thinks you're ready for the Majors.

Rudy pulled out a contract from a briefcase he was holding and handed Julio a pen.

Rudy: Just sign on the dotted line.

Julio signed.

Rudy: Congradulations Julio. You are now a member of the Houston Astros!

Julio: Yeah!

Rudy: Run Julio! Run home as fast as you can an spread the news!

Julio took off for the dormitory, quite a ways away. He could have easily rode with Marvin back there, but he was particulaly in the mood to sprint. He didn't run that fast, but he never stopped, running at full speed. When he was about 30 feet from the Dorm, he tripped and fell on his knee. He grabbed it and said:

Julio: SHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

To Be Continued...

Nope. Just a plain scratch on the knee. A conincidental story, the Niners were playing and I saw that my dad wasn't watching it, so I tried to jump over the edge of the couch, but I jumped and rammed my knee into a chair on a metal part of it. I was on the floor like 2K!

Julio was finally here. Spring Training. Here he would test his skills against baseball greats. He knew he had to bring his A Game for this one. He had looked at his schedule and found out he would be playing the Phillies, the Dodgers, the Phillies again, and finally the Mets. Pretty fierce competition for just a rookie.

His life had taken a detour only three months ago. He had found out that Emma would be transferring to California for her job for her job as an engineer at I.T.T. Tech. It was a hard way to break the news to him.

This conversation is via phone

BRZZZZ. BRZZZZ. BRZZZZ.

Jason: Hi Emma!

Emma: Hey Jason!

Jason: What's going on?

Emma: I've got some bad news Jason...

Jason: What happened?

Emma: I have to move to Napa in California. My job has transferred me there for at least a year. I'm sorry Jason.

Jason: Well. . . does that mean were. . . done?

Emma: No Jason! I know that you have your baseball in Houston and it will be hard to work it out, but we've been through everything together. We can't stop it now. And besides, I'll come to your games whenever you're in California, no matter where.

Jason: Where are you right now?

Emma: I'm on my way to the John F. Kenndey Airport. I'll be there in about 45 minutes

Jason (Thinking): The JFK is only 10 minutes away! I think I'll surprise. her. (Talking): That sucks. I'm about 2 hours from JFK and I have to report to Spring Training tomorrow.

Emma: Bummer. Well, goodbye Jason. I'll see you soon.

End of Call

Jason: Man, I got to get the airport!

Jason had just arrived at the Holiday Inn hotel at 1:22 A.M. His taxi was still hot, him getting the news while walking in. He ran back to the Taxi

Jason: Taxi! (Runs up to driver) I need another ride. I'll be back in a minute.

Taxi Driver: Let me guess. Love got you going crazy?

Jason: Yeah... How'd you know?

Taxi Driver: Just a guess.

Jason then ran back into the hotel to the front desk.

Jason: Hey. Can you guys watch me stuff? I've got an urgent situation to deal with.

Front Desk Person: Sure, I'll watch it for you.

Jason: Thanks. (Grabs a Five Dollar Bill) Here, take this.

Front Desk Person: No, thanks. You can keep it.

Jason: Thanks!

Jason ran out the front door to and into the taxi.

Jason: Can you take me to...

Taxi Driver: JFK, you got it.

Jason: How'd you... never mind! Go man go!

To be continued.

/me thinks there may be more to this cab driver than meets the eye...

or maybe I'm just overanalyzing things.

Continuing...

Julio had too many questions that he couldn't answer. How did this guy possibly know that he had to go to JFK? Why was he even driving a cab if he could "predict the future?" Why did it smell like a T.G.I.Fridays?!?!? Julio was really anxious to ask a question, but before he could ask, the Taxi Driver interrupted him.

Taxi Driver: Bet you have a lot of questions.

Julio: Yeah. How'd you know?

Taxi Driver: I'll keep this short. You don't know it yet. You don't know it at all. There are people trying to get revenge. Remember the game versus the Championship Rings? Zero Gibson?

Julio didn't know what to think. He just responded to the questions.

Julio: Yeah. What about it?

Taxi Driver: He went completely downhill after that. Same as that Army guy you played and the really chubby one. When you beat them, it destroyed them. They bonded together to kill you, after what you did to them.

Julio: But I didn't do anything...

Taxi: You made them fail for the first time in their lives. You made them look stupid. They all had a ticket to the Minors before you showed up. The scouts thought they couldn't do anything under the pressure, especially from a player "like you." The odds have been against you ever since you played at Rainbow Beach. They have gotten more people, their teammates and are currently trying to track you down. And kill you.

Julio: But why would they do that?

Taxi: Think about it. They had great talent. Future all stars. They could have made a combined 124,031,104,980 Dollars by the time they were done in the Bigs. You took that away from them. You took their fame, glory, all of that down in 2 years.

Julio: Whoa. But then, who are you?

Taxi: I'm your Guardian Angel. And yes, I won't be a true Angel until I have complete the mission to protect and serve the ones who don't know...

Julio: Well, thanks... Would I recognized them from anywhere?

Taxi: You know the Hi Dive Soda Company? They own it. Millions in resources.

Julio: Then why would they still want me dead. They have their money?

Taxi: But no one even knows their names. They didn't want it for the money and the fame. They wanted it for power. They wanted to climb the food chain. They first were going to buy the Soda Company. Then a Frankfurger Hot Dog Company. Then the Succulent Smoothies. All these companies. They'd make their money. They would rise up and buy corporate businesses. until they owned banks. They would have power. And you would be dead...

Julio: How do we prevent this?

Taxi: Well figure it out. But I'm to protect you. And under my watch, you won't get hurt.

Just then, they arrived at the Airport.

Taxi: Go get her kid. And you don't need to pay. Let's just split a bucket of Chicken Wings on the way back.

Julio: Thanks. . .

Taxi: Stephen. Now hurry up! You're wasting time!
