Colin's POV:

Ricardo and I are just getting back to my house from a few hours of working out. Mandatory Training starts soon and I have to be ready physically, emotionally and mentally. The 11 weeks I spent in Training camp with Kurt Warner and his crew really helped me out and I know I'll be ready for the upcoming season! I CAN'T WAIT to show ALL MY HATERS what I'm all about...

We are standing in the kitchen getting something to drink when my phone rings. "Hello, Kaepernick speaking..."

"Colin, hi this is Carl. How are you?"

"Carl my man, I'm glad it's you! I'm good, what about yourself?" I ask.

"Doing well thank you...!

"So, any good news for me Carl?!"

"YES, that is why I'm calling...everything is in order and set to go and it will be on it's WAY to be delivered..."

"GREAT, GREAT! That is what I wanted to hear! You SURE is IRON CLAD, right? There's NO GOING AROUND IT?!" I ask.

"Well, someone can try, but as for right NOW, is set in stone..." Carl responded.

"GOOD, I knew I could count on you Carl!"

"Thank you Colin for your confidence in my services. Now I will ask you AGAIN...are you SURE there's NO OTHER WAY? This IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?!" he asks...

Knowing Carl would ask me this question again, I shook my head, "...Carl, like I told you weeks before and on Saturday, I have NO CHOICE! My arm was "JANKED" and I have to do what I have to do to secure my Future!"  I know Carl is UNSURE but, It's MY LIFE I have to worry about!

Sighing, "Alright Colin, if you think you have too! I just PRAY it DOESN'T backfire on you!"

"It might, and that's a chance I'm willing to take...but I have to do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to move things forward! I have FAITH that it will all work out in the end...!" I say to reassure him of my decision.

"Alright Colin, if you say so! I will call you when it's done..." he says.

"I'll be waiting for the call...again Carl, Thank You..." I finish saying  and hang up.

Putting the phone on the counter, I take a big gulp of my water and smile to myself.

"Why am I AFRAID of that smile on your face...?" Ricardo asks me.

"WHAT? A man can't smile? I say, now smiling even more!

"Bruh, I know why you are smiling! It's that..." Ricardo says trailing off. "You sure about this Kap, shouldn't you just let it be...ya  know?! See what happens in time?"

Cocking my head I looked at him... "Time? I gave it time and look where's gotten me...NOWHERE! Nah, I'm DONE being Patient and understanding! You FROM ALL people should know that! I'm getting WHAT BELONGS TO ME...NO IF'S or BUT'S ABOUT IT!" I exclaimed.

"You know she's GOING TO HATE YOU FOR THIS...!" he says shaking his head in disapproval.

"I know she will! SHE HATES ME NOW! You think I give a CRAP...?"

"Apparently NOT...Bruh, what if this backfires on your STUBBORN ASS?! What then? Are you really willing to loose her and EVERYTHING that's important? You can't FORCE her to LOVE YOU!"

"FORCE her? Who says I'm forcing her too? Ricardo, she ALREADY LOVES ME! She's just mad..."

"...you mean PISSED OFF at ya?!" he cut in. Sucking my teeth at him I continued...
