There was a reason they ran straight into the line of defenders instead of around them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The fag got what he deserved.&#8221;\u00a0 The Bronco sneered, at the Devil&#8217;s Captain.\u00a0 &#8220;This is a man&#8217;s sport not some sissies\u2026 if he can&#8217;t get back up from a small tap, then \u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Griffin whipped around, suddenly being grabbed by the very person he was trying to hold back.\u00a0 His Yorkshire accent thick as he snapped back. &#8220;I&#8217;m the only thing standing between you and them.\u00a0 Do not give me the excuse to let them lose, or I&#8217;ll just kick your arse myself.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Separate!&#8221;\u00a0 The referee got in between them, making sure to calm both sides down.\u00a0 He had been off to the sidelines watching silently, while conversing with The Bunker.\u00a0 He needed to know what the fuck had happened, before there was more bloodshed than normal on the field.\u00a0 At this moment he was happy Griffin seemed to be calm despite the circumstances, though he had to wonder if he was merely in shock. \u00a0 He turned towards the Captain, making sure to stay professional and keep him focused on the here and now, not on what was going on the 20 meter line.\u00a0 &#8220;Griffin, I need you calm your boys down.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He attacked my man\u2026&#8221;\u00a0 He pointed at the Bronco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> man.&#8221;\u00a0 Everyone could hear the finger quotes around the &#8216;your&#8217;. \u00a0 &#8220;Fags like you\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Shut it!&#8221; The referee glared at the player. \u00a0 He tilted his head, then nodded before holding up his arms, hands fisted and crossed at the wrist, indicating the player was on report, and then pointed to the end of the field.\u00a0 &#8220;You&#8217;re off the field. This behavior is unacceptable.&#8221; When the player tried to argue, the referee signaled for security. &#8220;Get out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;And fuck you!&#8221;\u00a0 Vince flipped off him off as he was escorted to the exit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Watch your team.&#8221;\u00a0 The referee gave Griffin a look, then a pat on the shoulder.\u00a0 &#8220;Though considering the circumstances I can understand.&#8221; He went over to the Broncos Captain, telling him that one of his members was sent off field, the other to the Sin Bin, both on report.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Captain was smart enough not to argue.\u00a0 He could feel their coach seething from his location in the boxes.\u00a0 He knew that this was going to hurt the team, not just by the loss of two players, but their morale and likely even penalties.\u00a0 He was having a hard time believing two of his own team members had done something so vicious, over something so stupid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He glanced over to Griffin, but the man was surrounded by his team who was giving him strength and comfort, as it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Darren.&#8221;\u00a0 Andy put a hand on his captain, getting him to focus back on the situation.\u00a0 &#8220;Ya got get back in the game.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How is he?&#8221;\u00a0 He asked the large red headed Englishman, the two had been friends since he joined the team, relegating stories of playing in the Super League.\u00a0 His gaze was glued to the small cart that drove Ben off the field on a backboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;They&#8217;ll take care of him, Ben is a stubborn son of a bitch.\u00a0 He&#8217;ll be back at practice next week, ready to take on the Bunnies.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Come on Griffin, let&#8217;s kick these Friday Night Show Ponies ass and make sure your boy is okay.&#8221;\u00a0 Wayne wrapped an arm around his shoulder, followed by Vince who gave him a cheeky grin and slap on his ass.\u00a0 Despite the fact they weren&#8217;t twins, but actually two years apart, they were so alike it was eerie. The main difference between them was the fact that Wayne&#8217;s longer hair was pulled into a top knot, while Vince had a buzz cut.\u00a0 &#8220;Let&#8217;s make them pay for hurting one of our own.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Darren barely nodded, as they carried off his best friend, lover, husband off the field.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They had met when they were eight years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumarchive\/start-something-by-bj-jones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Now available in the Archive<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Teaser that is possible for Advent.\u00a0 \u00a0Though I won&#8217;t confirm nor deny if it will be seen at Advent as we know Bob is an asshole!
