OPTION 1:

So the owner's, nephew's, brother in laws, cousin's, daughter's birthday is coming up.  The relationship line is so thin the request for their favourite player to show up for this shouldn't matter.  Yet here we are and I get a call from Caleb telling me that I need to go. 

I plead my case, it is the offseason, my time, in my contract it says no to personal gatherings...ect.  Caleb gives a heavy sigh, "you know kid, if it were up to me I wouldn't be bothering you, but the guy who signs the paychecks has a favor he needs to pay back and this is that favor."

I am disappointed and disheartened, how could they just whore me out to appease another.

"Wait, who does he owe the favor too and why?"  I ask.

I am told the cousin's father once helped our owner start up his main business, it helped drive his success and got him to where he is at now.  That's who is calling in the favor for the granddaughter.

My wheels begin to turn and I know what to do.  Begin Operation get out of a child's annoying birthday party by making me a dude that looks like a lady and sleeping with a rich old guy and blackmailing him to ensure I don't have to go, by getting done up with makeup, dress and a wig, meeting the old fossil in a bar, getting him drunk and taking him home, take pictures of the two of us doing the nasty and hold him ransom...  well that pretty much explained how I avoided a 1 hour children's party.
