CH 26

At the hospital Jace learned Theo only had a bone bruise.

////////// 2 years and 3 months 7 n half innings later///////

The last pitch in the state championship was a low n out fast ball for a called strike.

Jace just won his 4th and last state Championship in high school.

Jace didnt celebrate he just went home he was tired of being asked the same questions about his future.

The thought of college wasnt appealing to him and he already was getting bored.

He had to hold back on every pitch. No one could catch a 150 MPH ball.

He personally enjoyed taking on contracts better and seeing he could get in and out with out detection.

Plus he had been training Theo for 4 years. Theo was already throwing At a professional level.

The only joy he got from baseball was playing with Theo and friends.

Sadly you cant guarentee that after high school.

With all these thoughts in his head he disnt realize his family coming home.

His family left him alone this wasnt the first time they found Jace lost in thought.

The next few days at school went by in a blur for Jace.

This went on threw the end of the school year. He now had offers for both college and MLB teams.

Jace had already decided to not do college so he declined all of the school's offers.

The only way he would do MLB is if him and Theo ended up on the same team. Caleb and Joe both went to college.

But right now they didnt have an offer from the same team. This left Jace with even more to think about.

Jace already had plenty of money from doing contracts while in high school. He had over 450 million dollars in his savings and 1 million In his checkings.

Then he also had all the money that wasnt in the bank yet. So if he choose he could do nothing for the rest of his life.

Jace decided that before he choose anything he was going to take a trip and see if he can find his old home In the mountains.

He told his family he was using the trip as time to clear his head and think about life. 3 Days later heft for his what he was calling pathfinding trip
