Chapter Text

Troy had officially run out of patience.

Ever since Ilya had accidentally revealed that he had a hand in the Trade happened, Troy had been incapable of thinking about anything else.

Unfortunately, Ilya had also refused to explain further.

Which, in Troy’s opinion, was very annoying.

So after spending the last hour unsuccessfully trying to figure it out on his own, Troy finally gave up and grabbed his phone.

If Ilya was going to be annoying and secretive about this, then Troy was going to investigate this.

Properly.

A few moments later, he created a new group chat containing every Centaurs player except Ilya.

The chat name was immediately changed to:

No Cens given 🚫

Wednesday, 1:35 PM

Barrett
gentlemen I have made this chat without our stupid captain to share our theories / knowledge we have about who our new mystery teammate might be

Haas
this feels illegal
Barrett
just no one tell Roz about this and we are all fine.
Bood
thats a good idea

Haas
yeah fine i won’t tell.
not like he would give us any information

Chouinard
I feel like he would just laugh at our stupid ideas

Barrett
yeah he probably would

also we currently have Anya staying with us.

Harris tried to get him to tell us but all he said was that he helped make this happen

Hayes
why is this idiot so secretive

Dykstra
watch there be no secret new teammate and hes just messing with us

LaPointe
that would 100% be something Roz would do

Bood
Cassies got some ideas

Dykstra
so does Caitlin

Barrett
maybe we should add the wags to this they are smarter than us sometimes

Haas
only sometimes?

Barrett
okay most of time

You added Cassie, Caitlin, Lisa, Selena, Harris🩷

Barrett
can someone add Boyles wife I don’t think I have her number

Cassie added Kayleigh


Cassie
hello boys

Harris🩷
heard there’s some gossip?

Caitlin
I love mysteries and gossip
Cassie
okay heres everything we know so far:

1. New Teammate

2. Roz helped make it happen

3. He knows that player

4. Got to be a forward to replace the forward that we lost to a long-term injury

5. Has to be a current player

Yeah, that’s all I got. Anyone got anything to add?

Barrett
okay I just had points 1 & 2, so maybe the thing about the wags being smarter than us is actually true

Bood
My wife ladies and gentlemen
Holmberg
so does that mean we just gotta go through every player Roz knows?

Caitlin
probably but that dudes a social butterfly and knows almost everyone.

Boyle
okay so we are like 18 or so people and theres 32 teams but we don’t need to look into ours so we all look into a team and report back any connections Roz would have with the players

Hayes
that’s actually smart. I pick Boston

Haas
I pick Buffalo

Barrett
guess i will pick Toronto since its my old team

Harris🩷
i can look into Detroit

Boyle
Edmonton

Kayleigh
Calgary

Bood
no fair Wyatt I wanted Boston

guess I will take LA
LaPointe
Vegas

Cassie
Florida

Caitlin
I will take the second Florida team Tampa
Holmberg
Colorado

Dillon
Carolina

Young
Utah

Chouinard
Seattle

Lisa
I might not have time to do the research but I guess I will take New York

Selena
Anaheim

Barrett
I think that’s everyone good luck everyone you got less than a week time

Troy stared at the messages appearing across the screen, already feeling better now that the investigation had become a group activity.

This was either going to solve the mystery or get them the scolding of their life when ilya finds out about this.

Honestly, both options sounded entertaining.

Notes:

I have a hate and love relationship with these text chains cuz they take so much time.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter interlude i just spent the evening trying to write the final chapter. (The chapter count is now accurate it will be 13 chapters long)

Notes:

shorter chapter to beginn with
this fic will be a mix off writing and text messages so it will probably take me a bit between chapters.
Let me know your thoughts on this so far
