TOM & SUE & JOHN & DEBBIE
Chapter 26
JOHN GOES AFTER SUE & COACH KIP FUCKS THE TEA SIP BITCH
Thank you for reading my serial novel, 'Tom & Sue & John & Debbie.' If you haven't read Chapters 1-25, please do so before reading this chapter otherwise you'll be missing out on all the details of the story as it was told to me.
Before I begin with Chapter 26, I want to apologize to everyone for the long delay in posting this chapter. And while I have no obligation to explain the reasons for the long delay, I feel I owe it to my followers, and others that have been following the series since it first began.
After Chapter 25 was posted in late August, 2020, my world turned upside down with a series of family, and my own serious health issues.
I lost both my mother and older sister to cancer. My hub had to undergo a major surgery along with two total knee replacements, and I had three major heart surgeries, and if that wasn't enough, the black cloud continued to hang over my head as I had retina reattachment surgery in January.
Needless to say, my plate was FULL! I was not only dealing with all the above, but when my health permitted it, I was still working full-time at the hospital as a supervising RN. However, because of my ongoing health issues, I have decided to call it a career, and on July 1st, I'll be officially retiring from a profession that I love, and have enjoyed being a part of for these past thirty-five years.
I want to express my appreciation to all my readers, and followers for their patience during this time, and I do intend on completing the series as quickly as time permits. Presently, I have a draft of the next chapter in the lives of Tom & Sue & John & Debbie in possession of my editorial assistant for review before being forward to my editor. The next chapter centers around Debbie and Larry as they begin their relationship while Sue continues to struggle with the question of whether she should bury the hatchet, and make up with Tom, or move on with perhaps, Jimmy, or John.
However, in the unfortunate event that I'm unable to finish the series due to my ongoing health issues, rest assured, my editor, and editorial assistant, will have complete access to all my interview notes, outlines, drafts, and etc in order to complete the series as it was told to me by those who lived the series of Tom & Sue & John & Debbie. Thank y'all for understanding. Now with that said, on to Chapter 26.

It's Tuesday night following the girl's gossip session where Cathy let the cat out of the bag about not only her "trial run" of the M-M-M-F scheduled for Homecoming night, but also her unexpected M-F-M with Jimmy and Ryder. However, Cathy left everyone hanging about WHO got a taste of some strange prom night back in Dragon. It was after Sue and Nancy returned to their room that Sue unexpectedly received a long-distance call from the Olympic Village in London.

Nancy and I immediately knew WHO would be calling me from the Olympic Village in London and as Nancy handed me the phone, she said, "Roomie, I think I'll go take my shower, and get ready for bed, because I don't be a fly on the wall during y'all's conversation. Roomie, don't forget that you and Tom are going to meet Thursday night to break the ice, and begin the process of putting y'all's relationship back together...just like I'm doing with Eddie. So, Roomie, keep your wits about you and don't do anything stupid."
Nancy handed me the phone, and I answered the operator, "Hello, this is Sue Andrews."
The operator replied, "Go ahead sir, your party is on the line."
John promptly replied, "Hey Susie, how's college life treatin' ya? Clue me in a bit about what's goin' down at State with your classes, basketball, and everythin' else that's been goin' on. By the way I saw on the sports reports where State took it on the chin Saturday against the Irish, so what happened?"
I replied, "John, I can't believe you're calling me from London! I mean...it has to be around four in the morning in London, and your phone call is certainly one BIG surprise!"
John giggled a bit into the receiver and said, "Susie, our day starts early in the Village. The dining hall opens at five for breakfast, afterwards we're off to the training room, and around seven-ish we begin our first workouts of the day. Now fill me in about all that has been happenin' at State."
I glanced in Nancy's direction as she was on the way to the bathroom, holding her towel, robe, and PJs in her hands, and as she entered the bathroom to get take her shower, she smiled a closed lip smile in my direction, and gave me a big thumbs up!
I nodded my head, returned her thumbs up, and answered John, "To answer your questions, John, I'm adjusting to college life, classes are going well, and basketball practice is hell on earth to put it mildly.
"Jamie is Coach Jones number one assistant, and we have a new assistant, Michelle Tigrson. Michelle, or the Bitch of the Hardwoods as everyone refers to her, was a two year All Conference point guard at Tiger, a GA on Tiger's staff, and one of Nancy's coaches this summer in London with the USA Juniors.
"Angie is our team captain, and our basic offensive scheme has been changed somewhat from last year. This year Coach Jones wants to take advantage of me and Nancy's outside shooting ability, so he decided to use two shooting guards, and instead of Cindy playing center or post she'll be the power forward, but in certain situations, either Cindy or Amy will move into the post position. Anyway, the starting five so far are me and Nancy at shooting guards, Amy and Cindy at forwards, and of course Angie at point guard.
