“Let me introduce myself,” said a young man wearing a black Raiders baseball cap, black sweatshirt and black sweatpants. “I’m Messenger and my two comrades are One Lump and Two Lumps,” said a short muscular young male. “We’re the Sweepers, and we used to go by the name the Batmen, but the law said that we had too many hits and made too many errors,” he continued. “The law said that we had to clean up our act so we did,” he added. “The rest of the gang couldn’t be here, but the message that I’m to give you is that we’re cleaning up the neighborhood and we can use some help from the community,” said the Messenger. “We know you, Freestyle, because you made yourself known at the Dungeon when you performed on stage and walked the plank,” he added. “The crowd seemed to enjoy your performance as much as we did so we decided that we’d give you the irresistible opportunity to join our cause,” said Messenger as he lifted his broom into the air as if it were a magical sword. One Lump and Two Lumps began sweeping the ground as they circled around Messenger and Freestyle. “Well I do appreciate the offer, but I’m afraid that I’m an occasional litter bug and it would be hypocritical for the Sweepers to have me as a member,” said Freestyle. “Our organization is unique because there isn’t a single member in our gang who accepts no as an answer,” said Messenger. Freestyle took out a stick of red chewing gum and threw the wrapper in front of Messenger’s black tennis shoes. “Last night I was with this fine sexy hood rat and I tried to make a move on her when she was lying on her stomach on her sofa,” said Freestyle. “I slowly lifted her red plaid miniskirt and noticed she wasn’t wearing any panties,” Freestyle added. “I took off my boxers and was going in for the kill, but she said no,” said Freestyle. One Lump and Two Lumps began laughing as they continued to circle Messenger and Freestyle while sweeping their brooms. Messenger started laughing as he leaned on his broom. “So you did what a man had to do and raped her right?” asked Messenger, laughing as he continued leaning on his broom. Freestyle took out another stick of chewing gum and threw the wrapper onto the ground. “Nah man,” said Freestyle. “I accepted her no as meaning no and I backed up off of her,” Freestyle added. “Now I can’t keep her off of me,” said Freestyle. “Look, guys, we’ve got ourselves a gentleman,” said Messenger as he started laughing. One Lump and Two Lumps began sweeping emphatically. Messenger raised his broom. “Get him, boys!” Messenger shouted. Freestyle quickly punched Messenger in the stomach and snatched away his broom.
