Chapter 25: basketball game challenge
Team one walked back into the barn after a long shift that ended with Spike taking a Scorpio shot. After talking to SIU headed to the locker room and Spike rested his head against his locker so Ed put a hand on his shoulder, "You should go home."
"I know boss and you will check in with me over next few days and no alcohol," he told him.
Sam leaned against the locker next to his friend, "How about since Winnie and Jules are away for the night doing something at the spa we do something and since going to the Goose for a drink is out we could go to your place and do something instead."
Leah knocked and walked in, "You got that new basketball hoop could try out."
"Sure can play with your shoulder like that?" Sam asked him.
Spike rolled his eyes, "I can play just fine and still whoop your ass Samtastic," and he sighed as arrived at his place and headed inside and couldn't get what had happened earlier out of his head and ignored his shoulder pain from getting shot. Sam arrived at the same time that Leah and Ed did but Spike met them at the door watching as Tyson ran around their feet, "Bring something to eat?"
Ed put bag of chinese on the counter, "Stopped on the way here."
They all grabbed some food as Spike sat down, "Didn't know would come Ed."
Ed clapped him on his good shoulder handing him a plate as sat around the room, "Someone needs to be here to make sure you don't make that shoulder worse."
"And let things get out of hand, this time?" Leah asked and everyone was laughing.

After they had eaten Tyson plopped down in the grass outside so could watch as Wordy turned on the outside lights that illuminated the backyard. Leah&Sam vs Wordy&Ed were the teams and after making sure that Spike had taken some painkillers for his shoulder eve if he was the referee. Sam passed Leah the ball and scored. Wordy faked passing Ed the ball and made a shot. Leah was about to shoot the ball when Ed stole it away from her making it. Sam dribbled twice before making a shot.
"What are we shooting to?" Leah asked.
Wordy to the ball away from Sam again and answered, "10 and right now you two are losing."
"Getting ahead of yourself," Leah stole the ball from him scoring.
Sam shook his head as Wordy passed the ball to Ed who passed it back to him scoring once again. Leah dribbled around the small area a little before she faked passing the ball to Wordy stole the ball scoring once again. Leah rolled her eyes as passed the ball to Sam who passed the ball back and she bounced the ball of Wordy's head making it in.
Wordy slapped her shoulder as ignored her rolling her eyes so Ed made another shot, "Okay kids play nice."
"I am but Leah isn't," Wordy shot back.
After another hour it went back and forth between the two teams and soon Jules and Winnie showed up noticing the lights on they headed to the backyard grinning as watching as the four kept stealing the ball from each other, "Guys!" they said in unison.
Soon, Wordy tossed the ball to Ed but ended up hitting Sam in the chest bouncing on the ground and then Ed got the ball making the shot winning the game, "Wow, told you!" Wordy and Ed high-fived and they all turned around finally seeing them.
Spike walked over kissing his fiancé, "How's the shoulder?" Jules asked him.
He shrugged ignoring the pain, "Only been watching these guys kicking each others asses," he walked inside and grabbed some bottles of water and see everyone sitting around the living room and handed a water to the players. "Didn't know could play," Jules told Ed.
The older man grinned at her, "Has been a few years but played in college."
"Score was Ed&Wordy 10 and Leah&Sam 7," Spike told them. "Think Samtastic needs to work on his game."
Sam glared at his friend, "Next time were playing and going to show you how well can play."
Spike waved him off with a grin, "I have played far more recently then you for sure."
Ed and the woman shake their heads, "Come along guys have to let some people get sleep around here."
