Five Minutes For Fighting (Completed)

Marcus Thomas was at work in the Rangers offices when Adam Graves his brother in law and ex teammate walked in. "We have to play Caroline soon." He said sitting down on his couch. "What do you mean?" He asked. They had been through this so many times before Caroline will sign a three year deal the day after She got drafted. That was it. End of Discussion. She was getting drafted at the end of this season. "We have a good group of players, a team that could win the Cup. They are playing pretty well and it's only the end of October. But Caroline could push us off the edge. She could be our Crosby." Adam said smirking. Caroline had Graves and Thomas blood in her. And she had grown up around Mike Richter, Mark Messier, Brian Leetch and Wayne Gretzky she was a brillant hockey player with so much potential. "I've heard this a thousand times, bring up Carl Hagelin, have you seen his speed?" Marcus said looking at the white board in his office. Adam and Marcus were the heads of Prospect and Team Development. They kept a handle on the Rangers, Whale and their ECHL Team in Greenville. They had all three teams etched out onto the Whiteboard. "Then who will replace him on the Whale?" That was a good question. They wanted the Whale to win the Calder this year, to show that they really did have the best prospects in the league. "Bring up a Greenville guy and a scratch in Greenville will take his place." Marcus said showing Adam what he meant.

"Fine so let's do this bring up Thomas." Adam said smirking. "Stop it. Caroline is not coming up to the NHL. She's not ready." He said. "Bullshit Marcus she already played two NHL games, and scored a hat trick in one and two goals in the other, she's ready." Marcus shook his head. "She's not ready yet." Caroline turned the corner and heard her father and Uncle's conversation. She was angry. She knew she was ready, she just thought the Draft was holding her back, now her father thought she couldn't play? "Hey" She said knocking. The two of them turning around. "Oh hey Care Care." Uncle Adam saying as he kissed the top of her head bringing her in for a hug. "We'll talk later." And with that Adam unraveled her from his arms and walked out shutting the door behind him. "What's up Kiddo?" Marcus said hugging his only daughter. "Nothing much just watched a Ranger praccy thought I'd come say hi, but apparently you don't think I am good enough to play in the NHL, so I should leave." She turned on her heels. Steaming. "Can we talk about this another time? We're about to bring up Hags, Feds is injured." She knew Feds was injured but she thought a scratch would play in tonight's game. Not one of her best friends. "Well you better go call him, give him the best news of his life since your daughter can't play hockey at this level." She was about to turn the door knob. "Excuse me Caroline Zoe Thomas." He blurted out. "Yes Excuse you Marcus Alexander George Thomas." And with that she left her dad's office looking for Glen Sather. "Grandpa Glen can we trade my father?" She said opening his door and standing in the doorway. He laughed. "I don't think any NHL team is looking for a head of Development in exchange for Steven Stamkos." He said laughing. "Well shop him around." And with that she left the Rangers Offices and went down to the Locker room. She needed a word with her brother, and her godfathers. One of them being named the Captain. Captain Cally could fix this.
