"Hey sis, think we should throw a welcome party?" Adrian tossed the idea out there, trying to sound casual.
With a new coach stepping in, they couldn't afford to look like amateurs. When Riley arrived, they had splurged a cool ten grand just on meeting gifts alone.
"Nah, no need for that," Flora brushed it off with a wave. "He's not some big shot, just a buddy of mine. We can skip the whole song and dance."
That spelled it out for everyone.
Flora's friend, stepping in to lend a hand, and not exactly a household name. Probably just average.
Not that they were looking down on him. The fact Flora managed to find a new coach overnight was already a win in their book.
"Let’s still get some gifts together," Adrian insisted. "Can’t have sis’s friend thinking we’re all about budget cuts."
"Alright, folks, let's gear up and be ready to welcome the new coach!" he rallied.
"Yes!" came the enthusiastic chorus.
"Wow, already got a new coach, huh? Curious who you roped in," a snide voice cut through the air.
Adrian turned, his grin dropping like a rock.
It was Riley, flanked by the Jones family crew.
One of them was Zachary's kid, Luke. A pudgy little guy, but his racing skills were top-notch on Lone Island. Way better than Adrian's.
Adrian's eyes narrowed as he sized up Riley and his entourage. Riley had just had a bust-up with them yesterday, and today he was already buddying up with the Jones family? That was fast, even for Riley.
