Just a Dallas Sieve

Chapter 5

Jordan woke up to the sun shining through the window. She got up from the blow-up mattress on the floor. She walked to the window and looked at the fast expanse of Dallas. She made herself decaf coffee, because if she has caffeine she goes crazy, and she also made some scrambled eggs. Only things that she had unpacked were the coffee machine and one pan. She also only had eggs, milk, and strawberries in her fridge.

Jordan got dressed in her Minnesota hockey t-shirt and some black Nike shorts. She called an Uber and started Her way down the 10 levels of her apartment building. She got down to the lobby just in time is Uber pulled up on the street.

She got into the Uber and about 10 minutes later she arrived at American Airlines Arena. She got out of the Uber and walked into the vast lobby at the rink.

Thankfully, a security guard came up to her and showed her the way to the locker room, She still can't find it.

She was one of the first ones there and she still had two and a half hours until first practice. She sat there playing on her phone until she heard the door open. Tyler Seguin walked in. She got up to introduce herself.

"Hello, I'm Jordan Beckett. I'm your new backup goalie."

"I'm the great Tyler Seguin!" Tyler said in a silly regal voice. Then Jamie came in.

"I see you have met Seggy." He said.

"The rest of the team should be comming soon," Tyler said. Then walked in Dougie.

"Hi, Jordan." He said.

Tyler looked at him and asked, " Are you the new rookie D?"

"Ya, I came straight from the Hurricanes."

After about 10 minutes, a bunch of guys burst through the locker room doors. You see, they usually meet up for breakfast somewhere.

Jordan's stall was next to Dougie's stall and Ben Bishop's stall. Ben still wasn't there yet though.

"If Bish doesn't come in at least 5 minutes, I'm gonna be mad," Jamie said.

Then Ben finally came bursting through the locker room doors.

"Sorry, I'm late!" He yelled frantically.

He came over to his stall. All Jordan could do was gape at him. He was her idol ever since she saw him play in his first AHL game when she was 10 years old.

Ben then snapped his fingers in front of her she perked up.

"Hello, anyone there?" He asked.

"Sorry, you're kind of my idol since I was 10," she said.

"So, you're my new rookie goalie. I have heard a lot about you lately." He said.

"Ya, I guess." She answered.

"How has Dallas been treating you?" He asked.

She answered with; "I haven't been here long, but it sure is way hotter than Minnesota."

Right then, she heard Jamie yell; "Shut up ya benders!"

"Hello, I am your captain as most of you know, so let me just kick off the season with a good old, LET'S GO, BOYS!" He yelled.

The whole locker room erupted in cheers. Jamie then put his hand up to silence everybody.

"We have two new rookies this year, Dougie Hamilton on D, and Jordan Beckett as a goalie."

Ben then slapped her on the back, but a ton of the guys were giving her weird looks.

"And nobody is allowed to hit on Jordan, or I will come after you," Jamie said.

"Now everybody get dressed and get out on the ice." He said.
