As we're texting, I get a call from the equipment manager. He tells me that I have to get to the rink ASAP, to get my new equipment, because they lost half of the hockey bags.

- Half of the hockey bags? Half the team?

They and the police scoured the entire highway at night using flashlights. They found all bags but 8. We got to the rink started picking out our new equipment. That's quite uncomfortable, breaking in new equipment.

People that found the hockey bags started calling the numbers written on them and giving them back. They found 7, but my bag was the only one that wasn't found.

- So out of all the hockey bags, yours was the only one lost? I guess someone took it for himself.

I'll do the plane chapter after, I just figured I'd do this one since I didn't see any requests and thought it was a cool story.
