In 2018, Freya Nightingale was poised to be the next big then in World Football, but three days before she was to join one of the biggest clubs in Europe, she vanished.
What will happen when Freya re-appears?
After I look at the line-up, I follow my wife to our lockers then I put my stuff in my locker.
Once my stuff is put up in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get onto the pitch, I head to the center circle, stand on the center spot, then I do the Haka.
Taringa whakarongo! Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau! Hī! Ringa ringa pakia! Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki! Kia kino nei hoki! Ka mate, ka mate Ka ora' Ka ora' Ka mate, ka mate Ka ora' Ka ora' Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā A Upane! Ka Upane! A Upane Kaupane Whiti te rā,! Hī!
After I finish doing the Haka, I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my long sleeve forest green undershirt, my warm up top, and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my yellow boots.
Once I'm dressed Sophia comes over and sits in-between my legs.
"Hey Soph." I say.
"Hi Frey." Sophia says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.
After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal bubble braid she puts it in for games.
Once Sophia's hair is in a bubble braid, I lean down and kiss my friends head.
After I kiss her head, Sophia and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my forest green jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I kiss my wife and hug her before I head out to the tunnel
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Sophia and Raven then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Sophia out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Olympique St. Louis players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Jaelin does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.
"Snuggles are definitely going to be needed on the plane tonight." Raven says. "
"Agreed Ravy." I say. "I completely agree."

"Well you look nice." I say as I look at my Mom.

"I have to look good since we're gonna win." Mom says as we watch the Texans play the Colts here in Indianapolis.
"True." I say. "But no mile high club tonight."
"Why your Mama and I would never." Mom says with a smile.
"Mhmm." I say then I rest my head on my Mom's shoulder. "Mom?"
"Yeah baby?" My mom questions.
"Do you ever wish you could escape the limelight?" I question.
"Oh yeah." Mom says.
"Me too." I say. "I'm tired of being looked at like I'm an alien everytime Raven and I go out on a date."
"Yeah it's not fun." Mom says.
"I also wish I would have let Sentinel die when he did." I say.
"I know." Mom says. "And if your Mama and I had done gotten the courage to actually leave Benjamin then you wouldn't have ever had to be the person you've had to become."
"I wish you were born like me so you could be my other parent." I say.
"You and me both." Mom says as I feel her play with my locs.
"Do you think it's weird I know how many people I've...removed from the planet?" I question.
"You're a perfectionist so no I'm not surprised."
"I wish the number was 0." I say.
"I know you do baby." Mom says then she kisses my head. "I know you do."
