COOPER
“Somebody call nine-one-one!” a voice nearby yells.
No.
Not somebody.
Every CPR training course I’ve ever taken tells us we need to pick a
person to make the call. Yelling somebody means nobody will call.
“AJ, call nine-one-one,” I say when I spot the first person I recognize
nearby. He nods and grabs his phone out of his pocket.

“Stand back! Give him some room!” a security guard yells, and a circle
seems to form around the man lying on the ground, mostly of those of us who
shared the car on the way here. We’re trying to shield him from onlookers,
shield him from those taking videos to make a buck off whatever’s
happening, shield him from the chaos of the crowd.
He’s still clutching his chest, and he’s wincing in pain, but he’s conscious.
That has to be a good thing.
Gabby and Joanie break through the crowd, and Gabby kneels by his side,
taking his hand in hers. She’s murmuring something to him, and Joanie
kneels on his other side.
Fuck it. I rush over and drape an arm around Gabby, squeezing her into
my side to let her know I’m here.
“Daddy, it’s okay, help is on the way,” she murmurs softly to him.
His eyes flick to mine, and I can tell he’s scared about what’s happening
to him. “Get up there and stand in for me, Coop,” he says, and I nod. “The
draft must go on. Make the right picks. I’ll be back at it soon.” We’ve got a
mutual understanding about what this team needs, and I’m more than capable
of doing what needs to be done.
“Of course. Get yourself well and then we’ll kick some ass on the
ballfield,” I say with a wide grin that I don’t really feel. Keep him calm,
though. If it’s his heart, he needs to remain calm and relaxed.
Managing a professional baseball team isn’t exactly conducive to calm
and relaxed—which might be what landed him in this situation to begin with.
It’s traveling and stress and not having a regular sleep schedule and eating
whatever is available on the road. That combined with genetics could cause
health problems for anybody.
I’m not just worried about my best friend. I’m worried about my girl’s
father. The way he grabbed his chest combined with the other symptoms he’s
had all day tell me this isn’t just nerves. I’ve seen it before.
He’s having a heart attack, and there’s been too goddamn many of those in
my life. I nearly lost my brother to one not so long ago. I’m not losing Troy
to one.
