Haileys pov
"So are you coming to the game" I asked Isaac after school "I don't think so" "why what's up" "I'm going to Rikers" "for what" "to see Anthony, I called they said he was out of isolation and it might not be long before he goes back in" "oh okay. Are you gonna talk to him about Sydney" "yea. See what he wants to do" "what do you mean" "uh don't worry about it" "Isaac" "babe I'm serious and I'm sorry I can't come to the game" "it's fine really I just want you to be careful" "I know. Look after the game come over we'll hang out tonight and we'll do something in the morning, okay" "really" "yes" "do you want me to bring Dixie back with me" "uh ask her if she's coming home" "okay" "I'll see you later then" he said kissing me "yea".

"Why haven't I seen my bestfriend all day" Rory said when I got to the locker room "maybe because you were late" "yea maybe. Well guess what I'm doing after the game" "what" "going to dinner with my parents" "for what" "absolute bullshit" "sorry babe" "yea well I already know it's gonna be hell" "maybe it won't be long" "it always feels long with them. Anyways what are you doing" "going to Isaacs since he isn't coming to the game" "oh okay. You're really happy aren't you" "yea I am" "I'm really happy for you Hailey" "thank you Rory" I said hugging her quickly before we went onto the field to stretch.

This would be our first game since Andrea and Morgan joined the squad and we spent all yesterday make sure they knew the routines, well at least most of them.
"Where's Isaac" Andrea asked at halftime "uh busy probably I'm not sure" "you're not sure or you're not gonna tell me" "Andrea please stop asking about him. Just make sure you know the routines" "fine" she said walking away.

"I called about Anthony Castellano" I said "yes sir go ahead" she said before I did the whole security run down.

"Isaac oh my god it's been forever" he said sitting down "it has, how are you doing" "uh I don't know, you" "okay" "how's Syd" "Syd is uh dealing" "what does that mean" "she kind of got herself into some trouble" "what trouble Isaac" "uh she's been doing things for money, for a guy. He beat her up pretty bad yesterday and they arrested me for it and now they can't find him" "they can't find him" "no" "so" "what" "so you need to find him. I want him dead Isaac" "you know I don't do that. Look it's Sydney and you know I would do anything for her but I can't" "I know but if they don't find him" "Anthony I'm gonna find him, I'm gonna bring Ricky I'll get it done okay" "thank you" "I owe you" "no you don't. How's Jack" "he's okay. He was a little worried that I was going to jail but it's fine. Oh and Syd started talking to her parents again and she's gonna try to move in with them for a while" "really" "yea" "that's good. I hated that they stopped talking" "yea" "you'll still go see them and look out for them right" "of course" "thank you" "so did you get more time" "no it was mainly self defense it was just he didn't really have a chance" "well they need you. Jack needs a father" "I know I'm trying man but until then I'm okay knowing that he has you" "he does".

"Dixie are you going to Natalies" "not tonight, am I going with you" "yea Isaac went to see Anthony" "oh okay" "well I'm gonna go to the locker room you okay to wait out here" I asked "yea I am" "alright cool".

"Have a good dinner" I told Rory "yea okay. Bye Hailey" "bye".

"So why didn't Isaac show today" Andrea asked when it was just me her and Morgan "why do you care. I really don't like talking about him with you" "I just wanted to know where he was" "he had something to do" "or maybe he's cheating on you" "what. Please leave me alone" "I'm just saying he was never this busy when we were together" "look I have to go, good job today" I said grabbing my bag and leaving.

"Are you okay" Dixie asked as we drove to her house "oh yea why" "you seem like your thinking" "what kind of things does your brother do" "what do you mean" "like how many meetings can one person have to go to" "uh well Isaac doesn't just do stuff for our dad. He does most of the negotiating between the big families and he has a lot of people he has to keep happy" "keep happy" "yea, other bosses and people he looks out for and he also does stuff for my grandfather" "oh" "you don't talk about this stuff with him" she asked "I do but I was just wondering from what he tells you I guess" "oh okay" she said.
