As the editor of the magazine Hot Tread slammed his office door shut, Stuart pulled out the newspaper that Mad Dog had so carelessly tossed. He opened The New Halis Times to the front page and began reading the headlines aloud.
"New Halis' most eligible bachelor receives inheritance. Ralph "Mad Dog" Bartlett, the editor of the up and coming magazine Hot Tread and most eligible bachelor of New Halis came into his inheritance that was willed to him by his great-uncle, Rodger Pellington, billionaire and founder of Pellington Industries..."
"Mad Dog?" said Rita, wide-eyed.
Mel peered over Stuart's shoulder. "Ah, so that's where his latest idea came from. That article is written by Eddie Outman."
A loud bang suddenly diverted the three journalists' attention from the newspaper. Plastered against the glass door was a horde of screaming women. Even from the closed door, they could hear chants of "Bartlett! Bartlett! Bartlett!" One of the women held up a sign that had been written with marker. It said, "I love you Mad Dog!"
"No wonder he locked himself in his office," said Stuart.
oh, I like this! and I bet Chris Baty would too... :)))
I wish all projects were 'finished'... only one of the three is actually complete, except for editing and the extra 5K I should fit in there... the other two are half done and 2/3 done, so December certainly won't be boring!
