Chapter Text
Four and a half hours since the Centaurs plane went down over Tampa
Apart from a single official call, flow of information has been sparse
The WAGs chat has been an inferno so far
Until …
~~~ Official OttaWAGs ~~~
Jane (Rozanov): I’m here now. What do you need?
Max (Holmberg): We all are. Here for each other <3
I'm so so so grateful for you all <3 Even if I can't be there with you ...
Jane where have you been, are you alright?
Caitlyn Dykstra: Wait how?? Are you coming with us??
Do you know how to get to Executive Skyservice terminal??
Jane??????
Rachel (Boyle): Hurry up we’re about to board
Selena Chouinard: have you driven up all the way from montréal you absolute madwoman?
Jane (Rozanov): No
Caitlyn Dykstra: [Shared Location – Ottawa Airport]
Jane (Rozanov): No
[Shared Location – Tampa General Hospital]
Will explain later. For now. What do you need?
Rachel (Boyle): b'h but WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Jane?!
Selena Chouinard: for this nightmare to end
Caitlyn Dykstra: INFO PLEASE!!
Some of us have heard already
Most of us know nothing
NOTHING
Jane (Rozanov): They won’t tell anyone anything, unless officially next of kin. If you’ve heard from your men (or their doctor), good. If not, not good. Four are critical.
Caitlyn Dykstra: Who??
Cassie Boodram: What does critical even mean??
Last time I got the call about critical condition it was just a concussion and a collarbone …
Time before ribs, was back on ice in a week ... Idek what to believe anymore ...
I’m so preggers I’m not even sure I’m safe to fly …
My OBGYN isn’t answering the phone FUCK
Jane (Rozanov): Is Lisa with you Cas? At the airport?
Lisa Hayes → Jane (Rozanov)
[call failed]
Lisa Hayes: [VOICE MESSAGE | I understand they won’t tell you anything about Bood but can you please ask the doctor only one thing … is his condition serious / critical enough that a primogravida at 36 weeks should board a 3 ½ hour flight? If it changes matters, let them know a physician is present. I'm available for a phone call if it helps any, doc to doc, and yes Cassie is with me and we're at the airport, so if spousal consent is needed ... well. You know. Sorry for the audio, your coverage or mine seems to be wonky and it’s a lot to type while we're boarding …]
Rachel (Boyle): My parents are driving up from Palm Beach. Should be there soon …
I thought they’d be the first to arrive. You should find each other.
Wait a moment.

Max (Holmberg): Send phone number, will be more useful …
Rachel (Boyle): Sorry …
[ATTACHED CONTACT: Samuel Bernstein]
Amelia (Dillon): You have your dad in your phone as Firstname Lastname lol
Cait Dykstra: Time and place Ames
We love you girl but srsly??
Glad Tanner’s ok but read the fucking room
Jane (Rozanov): @Cassie Boodram @Lisa Hayes
Just finished speaking to doc.
Get on that plane.
Amelia (Dillon): Oh no Cas …
Safe flight y’all!
Max (Holmberg): Fingers crossed for you
Lisa Hayes: Got it. Thank you Jane.
You’re the best.
Cait Dykstra: Also we have wifi on the plane so keep us updated
Jane (Rozanov): Will do
~~~ Jane (Rozanov) ~~~
Lisa Hayes: Thought it best to keep this private for now
Main chat’s been cray cray so …
What do we know?
Jane (Rozanov): What do *you* know?
Lisa Hayes: We all got the call, same as you I guess
Apart from that nothing much, only what it says in the media
Everything is horrible, key staff travelling with team and local staff … well
:exploding head emoji:
Jane (Rozanov): You’re in doctor in a crisis mode?
Thank you
Lisa Hayes: Cassie’s in no state …
Jane (Rozanov): So this is what I can tell you for now. No guarantees, just what I’ve managed to piece together. It’s hard when you’re not next of kin or in official team capacity. Quite a lot of shock reactions too, to everything.
Lisa Hayes: I get that, Jane. It’s unbelievable you’re even there at all …
Just tell me. Please.
Jane (Rozanov): Casualty is the pilot apparently. 5 critical. Bood and Harris still in surgery. Wiebe and Barrett in ICU.
Lisa Hayes: Fuck that explains why we have Wiebe’s wife on board
Per request of main office
Pretty much the only thing they did for us
Jane (Rozanov): Who else?
Lisa Hayes: Cas, Cait, Selena, Rachel, me
+ Wiebe’s wife
I don’t think anyone else is coming
A few got calls already, from the boys or the hospital idk
Jane (Rozanov): Yeah, good
Everyone else is not so bad, concussions, smoke inhalation, broken ribs, that sort of thing, waiting for treatment now etc.
Haven’t seen Hayes yet, taken him for some scans. Don’t ask me what type. Very whiny according to Haasy ;)
Lisa Hayes: Oh thank fuck
Yeah that sounds like him
Jane you’re a godsend
I don’t know how you’re even there and I might be afraid to ask but …
Jane (Rozanov): Same as you. I guess. Got the news, got on a plane. Only from Washington. And without having to coordinate a dozen WAGs.
Lisa Hayes: You’re a literal sorceress
WAIT
Jane you said five?? Five critical??
Between work and this I haven't slept in 36hrs but
Bood Barrett Coach Harris
Makes four
What aren't you telling me??
Jane (Rozanov): Sorry
Ilya’s in surgery.
Can't tell you anything because they won’t tell me anything.
Hoping paperwork goes through fast enough ...
Lisa Hayes: ???
Jane (Rozanov): Lisa. I’m not his wife, not his anything
It’s complicated, you’ll understand once you’re here
Lisa Hayes: Fuck
No I understand. I’m a doctor, remember.
I do this every day, only from the dark side …
Jane (Rozanov): My world is currently caving in and there’s nothing I can do about it anymore
There is paps and everything I’m trying to get in touch with the hospital press person to handle
Lisa Hayes: Breathe, ok? The world is NOT gonna cave in … not like that.
Jane (Rozanov): No, not like that. Wouldn’t that be ironic?
~~~ Official OttaWAGs ~~~
Lisa Hayes: So from what we’ve been able to ascertain there won’t be any need for more of you to come down. Maybe commercial tmrw if you feel like it but not urgent…
Amelia (Dillon): Oh thank God!
Max (Holmberg): Too late. Booked non refundable 1st thing in the morning …
Will be in Tampa at 9:30
Jane (Rozanov): I’ve been ordered to ask you if any of you have any contact info for Barrett and/or Harris families.
Amelia (Dillon): Who’s Harris again? The rookie from Sweden?
Selena Chouinard: That’s Haas. And he’s from Switzerland
Max (Holmberg): We’re from Sweden, Bertil and I ... but never mind it's late!
Selena Chouinard: Harris is the social media guy
Lisa Hayes: Too many H-guys on the team, says wife of OG H-guy
There should be a name policy for future players
No more H names allowed
Selena Chouinard: :laughing emoji: :thumbs up emoji:
Caitlyn Dykstra: Please don't jinx it Lis ...
Amelia (Dillon): Ah
Sorry don’t keep up with staffers much
Why?
Cassie Boodram: Because they’re badly injured, there’s no WAG in the picture (that we know of) and they might need support? Or their families do?
Amelia (Dillon): Why would a staffer have a WAG?
Jane (Rozanov): Anyway if you know someone or know someone who knows, let me know is all I'm asking.
Selena Chouinard: :thumbs up emoji: on it hun
~~~ Jane (Rozanov) ~~~
Lisa Hayes: We’re turning the plane around to throttle that bitch Amelia
Everyone on here has voted yes
Melina Wiebe has abstained
For now
Jane (Rozanov): :laugh emoji:
~~~ Florida Breakout Session ~~~
Caitlyn Dykstra has added Cassie Boodram, Jane (Rozanov), Lisa Hayes, Milena Wiebe (Coach’s Wife), Rachel (Boyle)
Caitlyn Dykstra: Whatever
Lisa Hayes: Good idea
Jane (Rozanov): laugh emoji
While you’re at it, can you add Haasy too?
In case I need to leave at any moment
He’s comically uninjured and my right-hand-man here at the moment
Kid's a trooper
Lisa Hayes: good idea
Cassie Boodram: Fucking Gen Z how do they do it?
Selena Chouinard: Young bones are very malleable … Ask me how I know. Or better yet ask my boys ...
Caitlyn Dykstra: You add him @Jane (Rozanov) no one here has his number
Jane (Rozanov): I don’t know how to do that …
Jane (Rozanov) has added Luca Haas Centaurs #42
Luca Haas: Fucking millennials ;)
Nice to meet you everyone, I’m Luca
