Chapter 5.
America's Most Wanted headed out to the ring. The announcers started trying to figure out why the injured James Storm was dressed to wrestle. "What is James Storm doing in his wrestling gear? He's injured he can't wrestle."
Russo's music came on and Gaby walked out. "Well, glad to see that you boys are prepared for this match. Wait a minute, how rude of me, I never introduced myself to the fans. Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Gaby Callaway; I am Mr. Russo's new assistant. Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business. Are you ready to find out who your opponents are?" The crowd cheered loudly in anticipation.
"Well, even if you're not, they are." Gaby said indicating the crowd. "Well, ladies and Gentlemen, you're in for a real treat, and you better get your cameras ready because this team is only appearing tonight. They have said that this is the only night that they will work as a cohesive tag team. Harris, Storm, here are your opponents. Weighing in at 244 pounds, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, none other than Harris's opponent last week, SANDMAN!!!!" The crowd went wild and started a Sandman chant as he walked out on the stage and stood next to Gaby.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, his tag team partner weighing in at 244 pounds, hailing from, are you ready for this? Hailing from the Bowery, RAVEN!!!!" Gaby and Sandman smiled as the "Holy Shit" chants rang through the Asylum. Raven walked out and stood on the other side of Gaby. She leaned over to Raven, "I figured this would be a treat for them."
Raven nodded his head as he and Sandman charged into the ring. It remained a pretty fair contest for the first 20 minutes until Sandman got antsy. As he tagged Raven, he told him what he was doing so that Raven would be prepared and wouldn't accidentally be hit. Raven got in and locked up with Harris while Sandman got under the ring. When he stood up he had a kendo stick in hand. He made his way over to his opponent's side of the ring.
Gaby had walked down to ringside with him and had been sitting at the commentator's table. "Excuse me boys." She got up and jumped up on the apron. She made it look like she was trying to climb into the ring. While Gaby distracted the referee, Sandman took the opportunity to take out Storm's bad leg with the kendo stick. He got on the apron and tossed the stick to Raven, who proceeded to nail Harris in the head with it. Harris fell to the ground and Raven tossed the kendo stick out of the ring while Sandman went back to his corner.
Gaby saw that Raven was making the pin so she jumped down off of the apron. The referee turned around and made the three count declaring Raven and Sandman the winners. Gaby climbed into the ring and Raven and Sandman each raised one of Gaby's hands.
They made their way into the back where Russo was waiting for them just behind the curtain. "I guess I underestimated you Gaby."
"I guess you did Mr. Russo."
"What are you talking about?"
"Russo didn't believe that I could get you two to work together, even if it was only for one night."
"It's like you have superpowers or something."
"Well, Vince, in the immortal words of The Hurricane, I got Hurri-powers Beyotch." She said with a smirk. The guys rolled their eyes at her.
"Well, I have a few more papers that I have to go over before I get out of here. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Russo left the three of them and headed to his office.
"Well, thanks for not kicking my ass in the ring tonight Raven."
"Just don't get used to it." Sandman left and headed for his dressing room to get his stuff together and head out for the night. That left Raven and Gaby in the hallway together.
"So, thanks for getting along with Sandman for me."
"You asked. I mean it really wasn't that big of a deal."
"If you say so. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Gaby started to walk away.
"Hey Gaby. Have you eaten?"
"Not since lunch, why?" She asked knowing what he was probably going to ask her.
"You want to go grab something to eat?"
"Sure, let me grab my stuff and we'll go." Gaby headed back to Vince's office to grab her purse and cell phone.
"You headed home?"
"In a little while. I'm gonna go grab a bite to eat."
"Oh, where are you and Raven going?" Vince asked smirking.
"What makes you think that I'm going out with Raven? Wipe that smirk off of your face."
"I just know. Where are you two going?"
"I don't know, he didn't say. He just asked if I wanted to grab a bite to eat. I gotta go he's waiting."
"You'll tell me tomorrow how it goes, right?"
"You're such a girl." Gaby replied as she started out the door.
"Well, will you?"
"Yes of course I will. Bye Vince." Gaby met Raven in the hallway and they headed to a little sandwich shop down the street.
