Caitlyn was nervous. She’d been called to this meeting with a power broker of some kind, she really wasn’t sure what it was about but her agent told her that she had no choice but to go and agree to whatever he had to offer. She was sitting in a plush office, fancy art on the walls, a thick, expensive looking rug, a fantastic, well polished desk. She was alone, just sitting in her best business casual outfit, her agent insisted she wear this outfit specifically.
The door behind her opened and a tall man with salt and pepper hair walked in and sat down. “Ms. Catowize! Nice to finally meet you! I’m Drake Henderson, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
“Good! Great! I won’t waste your time. I’ve got an idea and I think it would be great. All the people I talk to say you’ve got a real chance to make a minor league team in the ISFL and, if you really show your stuff there, eventually make a big league roster. That makes you one of the most promising stories in football. With that in mind, I’d like to have you commit to being featured in a television show. I am talking a proper one, with high end production, and real money behind it. We would make you a real star, the first female player to make the ISFL. The catch is none of it airs until you make it. What do you think?”
Caitlyn was not too sure about this idea. She was a mid tier division 1 receiver right now, it was doubtful that she’d make an ISFL minor league team if she was being honest with herself. Damn it though. She wanted this. She really wanted this. More than anything in the whole world. All he was really asking was that she bet on herself. “I’ll do it. I’d like to do it, Mr. Henderson. Please, give me this chance.”
“Alright! That’s what I like to hear! We’ll get it set up. Good luck Ms. Catowize.”
