Tennessee Jacob “Jake/Ness/Nessie” — July 4th, 1986

Prairie John “Ree” — December 10th, 1991, Nursing Student, inherited the same deep, dark anger as Jake and Joey from their father. He has brittle asthma type two and loves animals, reptiles especially. He’s been putting Jake back together since they were little. He becomes a nurse because he’s been one his whole life. Ree isn’t really amused by anything anymore. He grows up cynical, quiet and cold with people who aren’t his family. Redhead. Thinks of Jake as a big brother/guardian/the big boss.

Gunner Jesse “Gunny” — February 2nd, 1993, Police Officer, family clown and gentle in a way nobody else in the family is. He legitimately became a cop to help people, because no cops ever helped them when they needed it. He loves old movies and can quote them from memory easily. He loves sports and spent his whole life playing them, he got a baseball scholarship to go to school. Strawberry Blond/Ginger. Thinks of Jake as a big brother/parent.

Mackenzie James “Mack” — August 12th, 1996, Art Student, he loves drama, acting and art. He’s ridiculously talented and sees the beauty in things that aren’t. Brunet. He’s the first child to completely make the jump from Jake being big brother to Jake being his Dad. He doesn’t recognize any other father but Jake.

Indiana Joelle “Joey” — April 1st, 2000, future TG pilot, current cheer flyer and captain. She loves lipstick, indie music and pretty girls (Amelia Benjamin). She’s the kid with the worst anger issues and is the most protective of Jake. She hates where they came from, hates her birth parents and Nessie to her is a synonym for Daddy. Redhead, Bug’s identical twin.

Dakota June “Bug” — April 1st, 2000, she is the quintessential cowgirl and she ends up becoming an equine vet. She’s the quieter of the twins and does barrel-racing for fun, FFA and doesn’t care about makeup or kissing other people. She doesn’t expect anything of people, she just figures they’ll disappoint her. She still writes letters to their bio dad that never get sent and talks to her dead mama in the sky like she’s talking to God. Nessie to her is a synonym for Daddy. Redhead, Joey’s identical twin.

Mine: Part 1

Warnings: pining, swearing, teasing, p in v, handjob

((AN: one of these days I’ll go back through the warnings and make them cohesive but today is not that day))

18+, MDNI

Summary: In honor of the flyers first preseason win, I sat down and finished this piece. This one is going to be the best friend’s brother trope because my bestie is a ginger and she always says he looks like her brother. Alternate universe obvs and I used y/n this time.

Summers in southern California with my best friend, Courtney, are always perfect. I have no cares in the world when I’m with her. I’ve already gotten a tan and she’s burnt to a crisp, which is usual for her. Her ginger hair and pale skin make it impossible for her to enjoy the sun. I’ve read through at least 3 books this week while her mom drove us around on the boat. It’s glorious.

Well, it was until her brother decided to come home.

Cam made his presence known immediately when he got to town. It’s rare that he’s around since he’s a hockey star for an nhl team on the east coast. I knew him before all of that. I knew the long hair boy playing roller hockey in the backyard. The one that I had a major crush on.

It was easy to have a crush on Cam. He’s always been laid back and nice to me. It was hard not to fall for him. I never told my best friend that though, and I don’t know how she’d react to that confession.

The feelings for Cam are still there, which is a problem. A big, big problem. I didn’t notice it until we came in after a day on the ocean. He was laid out on the couch, waiting for us to get home.

It shouldn’t have shocked me that Cam is a man now. When I walked through the door that day, I think I went into shock. His body has filled out since the last time I had seen him. I tried not to stare at how thick his thighs looked or how his biceps flexed. Or even how his shoulders looked when his tshirt stretches over them.

I definitely doubt he would ever look at me the way I look at him. I think it’s that fact that’s driving me up the wall. It’s been two days of being around him so far, and it’s extremely hard not to throw myself onto him. I have never felt this feral in my entire lifetime.

Today I tried to distract myself by helping Courtney and her mom decorate for the ‘Annual York 4th of July Celebration’ which basically consisted of me cleaning the main rooms in the house and making side dishes in the kitchen.

I’m standing over the stove stirring a pot of macaroni for the mac and cheese when Cam walks through the back door wearing nothing but shorts hanging low on his hips and running shoes. My eyes immediately went to his bare chest that’s drenched in sweat. His skin looks so nice when it’s flushed. Little freckles litter his skin along with the thick ginger chest hair. I snap my eyes away before he could notice I was eyeing him.

“Where’s everybody at? I come back from my run and all of the cars are gone.”

“Oh, your dad is going to pick up your grandparents, and Courtney and your mom are at the store. It’s just me here,” I tell him, trying to keep a straight face and keep my eyes away from him.

Cam leans onto the counter next to me. I feel the heat radiating off of him. I know his eyes are piercing into me.

“So we’re alone?”

I nod and keep my eyes on the task in front of me. Maybe if I stay quiet, he’ll go do something else. I stir the macaroni one last time and move over to the sink to drain the water.

“Finally,” he sighs. “I’ve wanted to get you alone since I got here.”

I whip my head to look at him and almost drop the pot. My jaw nearly drops to the floor.

“Huh?”

“We’ve never been alone before y/n, haven’t you noticed?”

I gulp. Of course I’ve noticed but I’d never tell him that. We always have Courtney around. I make sure of it for this very reason. My hands feel sweaty and I’m on the verge of stuttering. I finish draining the pot and bring the drainer to the empty baking dish.

“Nope Cam. I’ve never noticed.”

“Can I help you with this?”

He steps closer to me and I nearly flinch when he takes the drainer from my hands. I wipe the sweat from my hands on my apron and step toward the fridge.

“Sure, go ahead. I need to start chopping the hamburger toppings. The cheese should be ready to stir in if you can do that and then put it in the oven to keep it warm.”

Cam listens my instructions, and comes up next to me while I’m slicing tomatoes. He once again leans on the counter next to me. This time, a lot closer than before. I keep my head down, concentrating on how I need to be slicing the tomatoes.

“Any reason why you can’t look me in the eye?”

“I’m trying not to cut my fingers off,” I say sarcastically.

I stop for a second and look him in the eyes just to prove him wrong, but the moment I do, I get sucked into his blue irises. I don’t know how long I stared into his eyes, but it took everything in me to stop. I cleared my throat and looked back at the tomatoes before slicing more.

“Are you ever going to stop fighting it, y/n?”

“Fighting what?” I ask and attempt to hold my breath. “Why are you asking so many questions?”

“You’ve had a crush on me for years, probably just as long as I’ve had one on you, and you never acted on it.”

I sit down the knife and turn to him. I feel overwhelmed instantly at his words. He had a crush on me? And he knew I had one on him? If he knows, does Courtney know? My mind races with all of the thoughts that I barely remember to respond.

“How do you know that?”

“I can tell when your eyes are on me, y/n. You’ve done it for years.”

“I was that obvious,” I mutter under my breath.

Cam hums in response. He takes my hand into his, “is this okay?”

I nod and he gets impossibly closer, caging me in against the counter. He’s always been taller than me, but I never really knew that he would tower over me like this. My eyes trail over his face. Should I make a move? My mind races back to all the times I imagined this moment as I eye his lips. His face gets closer to mine and his nose brushes mine. His breath is hot against my lips while his eyes hypnotize me.

“You look like you want me to kiss you,” he whispers.

“I do,” I whisper back.

My heartbeat is out of control at this point, beating like it’s going to hammer out of my chest. I don’t think my brain is working at full capacity anymore. A smile spreads on his face and he cups my cheek in his large palm. His mouth hovers over mine. My eyes close when it comes in contact with mine.

Cam’s mouth is like heaven. It’s warm and firm, and I can feel the little scar against my lips.

My hands have a mind of their own. They make their way to his hair, sliding into the sweaty strands. Our tongues tangle, and he groans while his hands make their way to untie the apron from my waist. It falls to the floor and he grips my waist in one hand while his other glides up my body to cup my breast over my tank top. I should’ve worn a bra today but I didn’t, and he can clearly feel that when he touches me. His thumb brushes over the fabric and I moan into his mouth. His hips press into mine when I do. I can feel his erection growing in his shorts, and I know as a fact that this isn’t stopping here. We breathe heavily when he pulls his mouth from mine.

“How about this,” he breathes against my lips, “I turn off the oven and put this shit in the fridge while you go upstairs and wait for me.”

I nearly choke at his words, but I just nod at him mindlessly.

“Yes please.”

He lets me free and smacks my ass when I start to walk away. I turn back to look at him and he has the goofiest grin on his face. God, if I knew he had a crush on me then we could’ve done this sooner.

.

By the time I’m upstairs, I’m stumbling into the guest room. I looked around and started to panic. My room is a mess. I picked up my clothes off the floor and shoved them into the basket near the closet before I heard the door open. I glance over my shoulder as Cam shut the door and locked it. His eyes dragged down my still clothed body. I swear I could feel fire burning inside me.

“Where were we?”

He stalked towards me, but I put my hand up between us and it landed on his bare, hard chest.

“Wait. What’s going to happen? What about Courtney?”

“I want it all with you. We can settle the logistics and fight with my sister about it later,” he took my hand and slid his fingers through mine.

“Does that mean you’re going to ask me the question?”

“I was going to ask you out on a date first y/n,” he paused, “I was going to earn this, but I want you to be mine. What do you say?”

“I want you so yes Cam. You earned it,” I breathed. “Anything, just let me jump your bones really quick before everyone gets home.”

Cam giggled before I lost my composure completely. I slammed my lips onto his and walked him backwards to the bed. His mouth removed from mine and kissed down my neck to my chest, slowly sliding the straps of my tank top off my shoulders.

“You can jump my bones as long as I can taste you,” he smirked. “No bra?”

“I didn’t think about it.”

“Should think about it. My eyes went to these as soon as I walked in,” he says while moving the fabric down to my middle.

“Funny you mention that. My eyes went to your chest too,” I laugh softly.

“I knew that’s why you couldn’t look me in the eye,” he nips at my nipple and pulls back to look at me. “You need to be honest baby.”

“I will just-“ I grab his hands and bring them to my waistband. “Just take my clothes off.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice.”

Cam dragged down my yoga pants with my tank top and underwear, leaving me bare. I shivered slightly from the cool air coming from the vents and my nipples harden at the change in temperature. Cam tugs down his shorts. He tossed them to be with my clothes, and my hands went to his length as he claims my mouth again. He took my hand away and binded both of my wrists in his hand.

“Careful with that hand baby,” he grunted. “It feels too good and this could end too soon if you try that.”

I’m on my back before I know it. It almost knocked the breath out of me, how fast he could man handle me. His mouth covered my nipple again, and his free hand thumbed over the other one.

I hear a strangled moan escape his mouth and he sets my wrists free. My hands immediately went to his hair. Cam grabbed onto my legs and pulled them open so he can settle between them, his mouth still assaulting my breasts. I feel the anticipation deep in my core. It feels like it’s about to boil over and he’s barely touching me. I clench around nothing, waiting for him to make the move. His length ruts against me, grinding slow and steady. I sigh, tugging at his hair. I grip the sweaty strands for dear life when he enters me. My entire body hums in excitement.

“Oh my god y/n,” he moans.

“Move please.”

“So polite,” Cam laughs and nips at my neck. “Being polite will get you what you want baby.”

His hips move steadily but I can’t stop my hips from bucking into his. All of it wasn’t enough. His touch, his mouth, the way his body pressed into me. I need it all and more. His teeth scraped the skin of my neck, biting down hard enough to leave a mark.

“You have no clue how long I’ve wanted this,” he groans and drives himself deeper into me. “We fit perfectly.”

“We do.”

I never knew if or how someone could complete another person like how Cam is completing me. I didn’t know the feeling of being whole until now. When his hooded eyes meet mine, he understands it too. The blue irises trailed down my body, groaning when he looks at where we’re connected. I tugged his mouth back to mine, moaning against him. I didn’t even notice when his thumb ran over my clit. I hold him to me, taking in every movement he gives. Everything felt too good.

“So perfect. I’ve never felt so good in my entire life baby,” he rasped between breaths.

It doesn’t take long for me to cum. I cry out as he held me down and pistoned into me, his hips snapping. I barely have time to come down from my high when an idea crept its way through my mind.

“Wait. Don’t cum inside me yet.”

Cam’s eyebrows knit together and he stares at me in shock. I shocked myself too, to be honest. He slows his thrusts but doesn’t stop.

“I want to try something please,” I beg.

Cam lets out a whine. He can’t stop thrusting and I clench around him. The pressure is building again. I smooth a hand over his cheek to distract him. He nuzzles his head into it, waiting for me to instruct him.

“Pull out and lay down. Trust me.”

He obeys, lying down next to me. His sweaty hair is curling at the ends, reminding me of how his hair looked when we were kids. He still has that boyish charm, but as my eyes trail down his body, I can’t help but think about all of the fantasies I’ve had about him.

Now Cam’s body is stretched almost the full length of the bed next to me. Although his body is full of hard planes, his skin is soft. His chest heaved as I got comfortable on my side. He looks pretty like this. I lift a hand to his mouth.

“Spit,” I command him.

His eyes connected with mine when he lets the spit trail from his mouth to my palm. My hand reaches for his length, stroking it slowly as I smash my mouth onto his. I pump him slowly and build speed. Cam’s mouth attacks mine fiercely, the moaning from his lips never ceasing. His hand comes between my legs and he shoves two fingers inside me, pumping in and out. I bite down into his lip at the sudden impact.

I pull my mouth back and speed up my hand as fast as I can go. Cam’s eyes close and his hand is clenched between my thighs. His hips jolt up into my hand, telling me that he’s getting closer.

“You’re going to paint your chest and I’m going to lick it off. Do it for me Cam, you’re being so good.”

His hips jar slightly, moving in clumsy thrusts into my hand until he cums. Streaks of white paint his stomach and chest. It’s a beautiful sight. I lean down and lick his hot skin, swallowing as I go. Once I’m finished, I settle back onto my side and press a kiss to his cheek. He hasn’t said a word yet.

“You’re amazing Cam.”

“Fuck y/n,” he groaned. “Never stop praising me.”

“I should stop. Your ego is going to be the size of Texas.”

Cam giggles and presses a kiss to my lips. My hand mindlessly strokes through his hair. I pulled back and laid my forehead against his. We know we can’t stay here forever. I don’t know how long it’s been when he takes the first move to get up.

“I’m going to shower really quick baby. Stay naked and don’t leave this bed until I get back,” he says playfully as pulls on his shorts and walks to the door.

“I’ll be here as naked as you left me. I’m not leaving this bed until you get back.”

“Good girl.”

He closes the door behind him. Tonight is definitely going to be interesting.

Part 2 will come eventually…

June Writing Stuff

Last months goal was 20,000 words. I wrote, uh...29,000.

This was partly because I was finishing up all the Kickstarter fills, and partly due to rushing to get some June work finished in advance as I'll be taking two weeks off from writing this month -- the first, as an actual break (though how break-y is a break when it involves doing taxes, I ask you?), and the second, because I'll be spending four days in a cabin doing the Very Final Edits on Between the Teeth (ie doing almost everything my editor has suggested but being annoyingly stubborn 5% of the time and even more annoyingly indecisive another 5% of the time.)

Add the fact that even when I return I'll be doing finishing touches for publication, I'm adjusting my writing goal down for June. Way down, to 10-15k, with 12.5 being the sweet spot. Will I exceed it? Maybe! But honestly, probably not by much. But the lower word count isn't going to fuck with my posting schedule at all, because, well, see: 29k in May. We're all good.

Anyway, here's what you can expect in June:

On AO3:

Looks like all Whalers will be accounted for. Flyers on horizon, but not here yet.

On tumblr:

SOTM: A little more of Robbie's time with the Scouts - Cup party, with the Tweedles and Willy, maybe Julius & Erin. Your choice - just more of that and TBD by Patreon Poll

The remaining Kickstarter prompts: we’ve got ourselves a David/Jake, a Ty/Johnny, and another OG OT3 remaining

Patreon and Kickstarter are below the cut:

On Patreon:

SOTW: 5th, 19th

SOTM: Still TBD, but trending in a Northerly direction

Via email: SOTWs: 26th*

Extras: Finally coming! 21st, 28th, and July 5th (which may become July 4th because it’s Jake POV and it would feel right)

*I’ll be away in The Edit Cabin on the 12th, and have pledged to keep a one-track work mind, so we’ll be skipping that week, but I’ll be posting stories on tumblr on the Monday and Tuesday (I will also be in the cabin then, but that's what getting ahead and tumblr's queue is for), which will hopefully make up for it!

Ch4: October 4th

After a couple of long, quiet weeks spent in his secluded mountain cabin/prison, Jaskier was starting to get stir crazy and more than a little lonely. 

For the first few days, he wandered the cabin, shuffling from room to room exploring the little bits of the previous owners that had been left behind when they sold it. He’d bought the place furnished, and it was still dotted here and there with personal touches. A slightly blurry framed snapshot of the nearby lake hung in the hallway. A rather hideous, but obviously well-loved crocheted afghan draped over the overstuffed couch. A hand-carved sign by the door with fishing reel on it that said “I’m A Frequent Flyer.” Some old board games stacked in a closet, pieces worn and cards bent. 

He marveled at the amount of wood around him, staring at the knots and whorls and finding shapes in them like clouds. Warm wood paneling on the walls and ceiling. Thick wood Beams holding the place up. Wooden kitchen cabinets. Stripped and lacquered logs used for the banister and railing around the loft. Rough-hewn wooden furniture. He felt like he was living inside a pine tree.

He laid in bed and scrolled his phone, futilely trying to twist his body to just the right angle to get more than one bar of service and waiting impatiently for videos to buffer.

He texted with his friends, reassuring them that he was doing great and staying off social media and the trade blogs like he was supposed to (a blatant lie that Priss had no problem calling him on). He was enjoying the break from the craziness of life in LA, really! He absolutely didn’t need them to drop their own lives and projects just to come out to the middle of nowhere and keep him company.

It had been very different to be here back in July, when he and Priss and Essi had spent the holiday weekend tipsy and laughing and learning to fall off paddleboards on the lake together. Now he was alone, and the little cabin deep in the woods felt less like a rustic adventure and more like being exiled to the ends of the earth. 

They didn’t need to know that, though, It would only make them worry, so he kept it to himself. It was all his own doing, after all. 

And Valdo’s. Fucking Valdo.

Finally the shock of it all started to wear off and boredom took over, which meant that his fingers started to twitch for an instrument. He tried to write, sitting cross-legged on the faded couch with his guitar for hours as he scratched out line after line of lyrics and eventually gave up. He tried pulling out his lute, thinking that maybe the romance of a period instrument in his hands would allow inspiration to strike. After a while he gave up on that, too, still fidgety and itching for something he couldn’t quite name.

Which is why he was lost in his own head, playing through a Bach Partita on the violin when his gorgeous neighbor knocked at his door one afternoon.

MISSION MINDED MONDAY

Work work work work work! The tide has shifted and we were busy all day long and it was great! We set up at the park for tomorrow's 4th of July event at Cottonwood Park. There were several volunteers there to help and everyone was willing to step in wherever and whenever!

We will be manning carnival style game booths, inflatables, and a prize booth where kids can redeem game tickets for various prizes. It is a crazy day but it is so evident that the community appreciates what we're doing here. Parents just continue to thank us over and over again as we're serving their kids. It's a great witness to the town.

We will also be passing out flyers for our events taking place after tomorrow - Sports Camp and BARF Nights! In case you haven't heard - BARF stands for Bring a Real Friend! These two events have been a major hits all of the years we've been here and we plan for it to be the same this time around.

After the setup, we took a few minutes break and then set up for a special volunteer dinner at the Olson's house. We have about 60 volunteers total this year, including our team of 27. It was great to meet people from other areas that came out this week to serve. We also got to reconnect with some from previous years. There are also several volunteers from the church here. We are the only mission team here this year in a large group, but there are a few families here to serve and some small groups coming out tomorrow from a couple churches north of here. We also got to see some guys from a previous team from Orange County, CA that have come for the past few years.

As you read this, I want to encourage you to do something. YES YOU! Please consider coming out here to serve sometime, maybe even next year with us! It has the potential to change your life and it will certainly impact other's lives!! We could always use more hands, and it really is an incredibly rewarding week. God is working mightily in this place!

After dinner, I went with Gary to finish up some odds and ends in preparation for tomorrow. As we drove around town, it was crazy! So many people were out, riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes, other ATVs or just big trucks with American flags. There were guys doing tricks in parking lots, people setting off fireworks all over town, loud music, and I'm sure plenty of other kinds of partying.

It is so strange to think that just ten years ago, this event didn't even occur here and the vast majority of people in the town would never have imagined things would be this way. This radical shift is good and in many ways difficult. It's great to witness the freedom and the fun and everyone getting along. It's also sad to see how extreme on the other side of the spectrum things have become here. It's gone from ultra religious to the ultra party scene. It is a very secular town and it is still in great need of the real Jesus. That is why we come. Tomorrow there will be so much talk of freedom but let us never forget - true freedom only comes through knowing Jesus!

Please say a prayer RIGHT NOW for what's going on here this week. Blessings to all of you and thanks again for reading!!

This but it's my dog. She just showed up with a collar on our door step, scared to death of the fireworks on 4th of July, she was already trained, we posted about her, flyers, all of it and nobody picked her up.

Scruffles has been loved by our family since. She's a refined old lady now.

Game 36 For the Scrapbook Wed, Sept 11 8:00pm EDT Washington @ Chicago

Starting: WASH: Atkins, Dolson, Edwards, Sykes, Vanloo CHI: Allen, Carter, Cardoso, Harrison, Onyenwere (DeShields ankle, Reese wrist, Williams knee)

1st Quarter The Sky have 13 wins to the Dream's 12 and the Mystics' 11 at this point. On the first play our defense is looking great, no shots for 21 seconds then Ariel knocks the ball out of bounds. The Sky don't get the shot off in time and we get an opening stop. To ice the cake, Slim hits a 3 on the other end. Aaliyah gets a nice jumper. And JVL goes for 3 now. It's feeling just a little unfocused and casual. I'd like to see the intensity ramp up, and more passing on offense to expose gaps. Dolson and Edwards are doing well versus Cardoso on the glass. Carter has found a sweet spot on the right side and is the offense right now for the Sky. Nice drop off from Slim to Stef. Slim with the hesi to the rack. Now she hits a 3, she wants this one on her back. It's 19-8. Shatori's 100% Guaranteed Steal-and-Score Services come into play early. The bench is in for DC and Engstler hits a 3. Shatori steals again but this time gets a little overzealous in her attempt to be unselfish. Onyenwere gets a much-needed 3 for her team. Beautiful fader from Sika and the Mystics are off to a flyer. 29-13.

2nd Quarter Haha former Mystic Elizabeth Williams is chattering to the ref from the bench. Tell 'em EWill. Karlie cashes in from the nail. Ariel checks in and puts the ball in the hoop. Shatori is playing great D on Chennedy. Now Engstler interrupts a pass and Jade throws a strike to Sika for a layup. The arena is quiet as the Sky have just 3 points in 5 minutes, and trail by 19. Chen breaks thru and I'd like to point out that Shatori wasn't marking her. I spy Moriah Jefferson on the bench. The Sky could really use her range right now. The Mystics have let off the gas a little and the whistles have been blowing. Stef gets a 3. Carter and Cardoso with most of the points for Chicago. 43-29.

3rd Quarter Ariel blocks a pass by Chennedy but then we lose Izzy Harrison in behind. Edwards with a gorgeous reverse. JVL with a 3 over Cardoso. JVL goes again. I think she heard the announcers talking about rookies and leaving her name out of it. Stef gets whistled and it's been light light calls against her all game. The Stics go back to the Aaliyah reverse move. Cardoso falls over and a Mystic gets called for a foul. I'm not sure who they think that was on. Aaliyah is feeling herself this quarter, she even shot a 3 although she's still waiting on a make from there. She gets another jumper! That's 8 points this quarter so far. Whoa Shimmy just made an unnecessary "know your place, rookie" comment about JVL. I feel particularly bothered because Julie has been playing professional basketball for 10 years. And she has started almost every game this season. Slim drops it off to Aaliyah. Now she finds Engstler. Karlie gets in on the quick buckets. Already we have 22 pts with 2:42 left to play this quarter. Sika makes it look easy under the hoop. Aaliyah Edwards with 10 points this quarter! 71-48.

4th Quarter Karlie steals but Harrison gets a block. It's back-to-back tough makes at the end of the clock for DC—from Engstler and Melbourne. Harrison just fouled out, most of the calls all night have been light. That's a tough pill in a situation when you're down 23 to a team that's fighting you for the final playoff spot. Steal, countersteal, block, charge. Let's not get messy here at the end. We mess around with a movement-less offense and unsurprisingly run out of clock. This time Ariel waits a few moments then fires the 3 for gold. Sug is getting some time on the court now and hits a jumper. Slim REJECTS Chen big time. Nice no-look pass from Jade to Sika for 2. Now Jade hits a 3. It feels like she is gaining confidence from there under the influence of all the perimeter shooters on the team. Aaliyah and Karlie both get late-game steals and Jade runs the floor for a classic layup to seal a 30-point blowout. 89-58 final.
