	Zac pushed up on a barbell at the Albany State College athletic center.  One of his teammates spotted him as the running back lifted and let fall the weights.  All around him resounded the noise of his teammates using the other equipment that was provided in the athletic center.  Heavy breathing, grunts, and the occasional clank of metal weights striking the ground.  After several reps, Zac lifted the bar up one more time and then, with the help of his spotter, he placed the bar onto a set of hooks above him where the barbell could rest until someone else needed to perform a bench press.

	Now that he had finished his reps at the bench press, Zac momentarily sat on the bench because his phone began to ring.  When he picked up his phone, Zac discovered that his phone’s caller id showed that Sammy was calling.  That seemed peculiar, since what reason did Sammy have for calling him?  Why would his girlfriend not be calling him?  In spite of these questions, Zac answered the call.

	[color=Peru]“Hello?  Sammy?”[/color]

	[color=Khaki]“You need to come down here right now!”[/color]  Zac heard his out of breath girlfriend blare into his ear.  Well, at least this answered the question why he was receiving a call from Sammy’s phone, or at least partially answers that question.

	[color=Peru]“Slow down, Kelly.  What’s the matter?”[/color]  Zac tried to calm his girlfriend down.  Although he did not yet know what was going on, Zac could tell from Kelly’s rattled voice that she (and presumably Sammy, since Kelly was calling on her friend’s cell phone).

	[color=Khaki]“Sammy and I were just taking a nice stroll through Washington Park when out of nowhere…”[/color]  However, there was a short interruption in what his girlfriend was saying.  Zac was still in the dark about what was going on, but he could heard another man’s voice in the background.

	[color=Peru]“Kelly?”[/color]  Zac stood straight up from the bench where he had just a few seconds ago finished his bench press exercise.  Before he got back to his conversation with his girlfriend, Zac mentioned to several of his teammates that he had to go because his girlfriend was experiencing a crisis.  After he let his teammates know that he had to leave, Zac step outside of the athletic center and headed towards his car.

	[color=Khaki]“Zac?  You still there?”[/color]

	[color=Peru]“Yes.  I just needed to get away from the guys so that I had more privacy.”[/color]

	[color=Khaki]“Like I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted, when out of nowhere this archer who’s built like a bodybuilder jumped us out of nowhere.  I’m triple tasking right now between talking to you, dragging an unconscious Sammy around, and trying to get away from this guy!  How long until you can get here?”[/color]

	[color=Peru]“Momentarily”[/color]  
	
[hr]

	Kelly pressed her back against a snow-covered tree while she was catching her breath.  	She peered over her shoulder around the tree to make sure Odysseus was not on their heels anymore.  Once she confirmed that Odysseus was not in sight, Kelly turned back to her unconscious friend, whom Kelly held against her own body with her lower pair of arms so that Sammy would stay warm.  Kelly then took a meager handful of snow and rubbed it against Sammy’s cheek.

	[color=Khaki]“Come on, Sammy, wake up.”[/color]  The wasp-girl said under her breath, knowing that she could not keep pulling her best friend and fending off this crazy archer.  And she wondered where Zac was.  He said he would be there momentarily.

	“There you are!”  Kelly’s heart jumped within her.  Unfortunately that was not the voice of her boyfriend, but rather of her and Sammy’s pursuer.  “You know that if you stay still, this will all be over that much quickly, for both you and me.”

	However, Kelly all of the sudden saw what almost seemed like a brown and tan blur go right past her.  One moment, the man so-called Odysseus was standing in front of her and Sammy.  The next, he has been tackled onto the ground with Zac standing above him.

	[color=Khaki]“Well, looks like your football experience is finally paying off.”[/color]  Kelly joked with her boyfriend.

	[color=Peru]“I’m an offensive player, Kelly.  I don’t tackle people on a regular basis.  But sure, you can think that.”[/color]

	“So, the short one has finally shown up.  I was wondering when you’d arrive.”  Odysseus rose to his feet and picked Zac off his feet.  He then tossed Zac into the air towards the tree that Kelly had been hiding behind.  However, before he could collide with the tree, Kelly placed Sammy aside and jumped into the air.  Her wasp wings fluttered in the cold, winter air as she rose up and caught Zac could hit the tree.  Once she had caught her boyfriend, Kelly landed on the snow-covered ground.

	[color=Khaki]“Maybe I should play wide receiver.”[/color]  Kelly teased her boyfriend as she let go of him not that they were back on the ground.

	[color=Peru]“I think we might more pertinent issues to deal with now than whether the ASC football program will accept a wasp-girl on their roster.”[/color]
