8 Ch 8

Monday morning Jace woke up early went down to the kitchen and had Sylvia make him some breakfast.

Steve came down shortly after and explained to him that he is a professional hitman, and that last night was to see if he had what it took to take care of things when his job requires him to be absent.

After every one was ready The boys were dropped off at school . They Had all the same classes with made it easier for Jace to make his way around. It was finally the last block of the day and Jace was glad that it was almost over, for him it was a boring day apparently Theo had math and history his two worst subjects The first half of the school year. So there was nothing for him to learn.

Once classes was over they both went to the baseball field. Theo showed Jace were the team's locker room was so he could go get changed. After getting changed Jace walked back on the field and did his stretches. They still had 20 minutes till practice began and the rest of the people trying out were just now going to the changing room. So Theo and Jace started playing catch to pass the time.

Seeing What he assumed was the coach walking over and the rest of the people jogging to the field Jace helped push Theo into the dugout. The adult steptoe foward and announced that he was indeed the coach and to call him sir or coach Williams. He then introduced the hitting coach and the fielding coach. The coach then had them run and for those that couldnt run for more than 3 minutes were automatically cut from the team.

He continued to have every one do drills till they down to 30 kids. They then were split in to two groups fielding and hitting Jace went to center field 2 people went to left and 3 to right the rest were taking turns on the bases.

Seeing as he was the only one in center field the coaches had one of the people in right field go over there with him. after 30 minutes him and the other centerfielder didn't miss a single ball that went their way it was time to change from fielding to batting.

When it was Jaces turn to hit he got to hit 10 balls. His results were 4 HR 2 to deep center 2 deep to left and 2 deep to right. After every one hit Coach William's asked all who wanted to pitch to come to the bull pin 7 people wanted to go pitch and 2 people came to catch along with the coach.

The first 3 to pitch were all junk ball throwers that knew 2 or 3 pitches. The 2nd 3 were all fast ball pitchers that also had a curve. When Jace came up he threw one of each kind of his pitches every pitch was in a corner of the strike zone. What shocked the coach the most was the ease at witch Jace did it he could tell he didnt struggle at all while doing it.

Jace asked them all to hold on then went and got his left handed glove from his bag came back and did the same thing making every one go quiet as he walked over and sat by Theo while getting some water from the cooler.

After that the coach ended the first day of try outs with 30 people remaining they still had to cut atleast 10 of them. All 3 coaches were watching Jace as was walking back on the field after changing back to normal clothes it was their policy to not to ask for names till the players made the team.

Making it so they didnt know this freshman's name, but seeing him walk up and start pushing Theo around The three coaches had a general idea after all all teachers are given a list of the physically and mentally challenged kids along with a picture of them in case any of them ever need assistance.
