Lady Liberty Reigns

The score was tied at 13.

Travis sprinted back into his office. He closed the door, sending echoes throughout the walls of the Rawlings Group, revealing a mirror (life size) hidden behind his closed doors.

Gessley stared at the mirror and flexed. First his left arm, then his right. He walked to his desk and grabbed a nice, tasty protein shake.

This time it was Celery surprise.

Mmm.

He was ready. Next he marched out to Mathis’ cube. Mathis was ready with a taunt, standing on top of her cube, blaring a little Village People. Macho Man.

Gessley was enraged. He leaped (but couldn’t reach her). He tried again. No luck. Mathis led 15-13.

Then he outsmarted her, climbing up to the desk and grabbing her stereo – racing outside in the process as he took a 18-15 lead.

Mathis followed to the parking lot. But it was too late. In slow motion she saw what happens when a mack truck collides with a stereo. Ten Times, that is.

She felt the wind drop from her sails as she fell behind now 25-15.

Mathis tried to respond – rolling up her sleeves and calling out Gessley.

Mathis, you see, had another stereo. A POWERFUL iPod, with speakers, and she cranked it.

Gessley roared his engine.

It was a battle of the bands. They both roared. Travis yelled. Mathis (and Seth) sang loudly to a little Justin Timberlake.

And the score rallied up. Nothing could stop the NOISE.

Until Carol “Off the Mark came on the scene. She yelled stop the madness. And she jumped onto Gessley’s car in one leap, pointed a finger at Mathis and cackled, quietly. Her point was made.

Gessley exited his vehicle.

Then, streaking through the parking lot there came a great White Light. It was France of the Light.

With three thumps from his K Swisses (these), he announced his intentions for next season.

OUCH.

But it was getting late. Gessley sprang to his feet, climbed the ladder back to his car, and jumped from the cabin, doing a cannonball power drop onto Mathis, knocking the iPod from her hand. Before she could react, he was back onto his truck, shirt off, flexing, holding the iPod like the lady liberty logo. Posing. He jumped again, flipped into a somersault attack.

And there was silence.

Gessley wins 39-27-3-1-1 over Wendy France Bell and Mark.

Stay tuned for next year.
