Connecticut

The Beat Up Connecticut Challenge! LIVE ends for Gerald at his second table in the food court, or the second-and-a-halfth, really, since he manages to lay out one security guy before the other gets him with a taser. Seriously. Who expects a mall rent-a-cop to have a taser?

Cuffed to a chair in the substation, Gerald revises. Connecticut has earned his respect. He’ll have to prove it. As soon as he makes bail with the platinum card, he sets out on the Satisfy Connecticut Orally Challenge! ALSO LIVE.

But Connecticut gets all huffy about that too!

A story about The Union

Georgia

It’s dark in this part of the office, but Georgia’s not sure it’s empty yet. Empty but for him. It. Him? Tonight she’ll be watching from above. Tonight she’ll know whether he comes to life.

The dropped ceiling tiles are flimsy, but there’s a reinforced catcrawl nearby. She gets a grip, hauls herself onto it, and comes face to face with a giant cobra.

Hooded. Cobra. In the ceiling. It’s rising, swaying, eyes are taking all the light–

The Crocodile Hunter’s strong hand smashes through the tile and grabs the snake, pulls it down, white dust and Georgia can suddenly scream.
