Rita looked at her friend and thought it over, "Yes there is that legal loophole there."

"See now all we have to do is find someone willing to help us out." Sherry said as she paced.

Rita began to rifle through her mental Rolodex of friends picking and choosing whom best to approach for this little project. Then her eyes lit with mischief. "I got it Sherry." She picked up her cell phone and dialed quickly. "Hello, Partner in crime, I need your help."

"What do you need done now?" Curlly asked her mouth full.

"Some people here need some lessons." Rita said. "Meet me in my office and bring Daine with you."

"Glory! We are getting the newbies feet wet. Oh this can be fun. I will be right there." She said as she hung up.

Sherry looked at Rita. "Good idea. Let me call Jenni."

"I'll call Anedella." The girls made their phone calls and walked into Rita's office. Rita let out a yelp of surprise. "Gunther!" The handsome blond haired man was slumped over the desk.

********

Meanwhile Genie and DeLeah were enjoying a leisurely lunch with Michael. The girls were enjoying themselves. Although they had a nagging feeling that this would be the calm before the storm. So they decided to enjoy this to the fullest.

Michael was slightly preoccupied. He knew his two ladies. One creating mischief was more than a handful. But the two of them together were an all points bulletin. Yet Sherry and Rita had promised to leave DeLeah and Genie alone but somehow that did not console him. The mommies were very possessive of him as he was of them. He really did not appreciate that threat of theirs and he would not put it past them either. Especially the way Sherry looked at Mentz and he knew Rita had a soft spot for Alec Chandler.

"Michael?"

"Earth to Michael?" said Genie.

"I am sorry ladies. What were you saying?"

"Do you want dessert?" DeLeah asked.

"Certainly."

"How about some cheesecake?" Genie asked.

**************

Sherry and Rita rushed over to pull him away from the screen. Rita pulled out some smelling salts out of her desk drawer. They were there in case of an emergency some of the newbies tended to THUD at the appearance of Michael in the office.

Gunther was mumbling as he awoke. "I am not attracted to Michael. I am not attracted to Michael."

Rita and Sherry burst out laughing. "This is bad."

"No kidding they have gone too far." Rita said emphatically.

Gunther groaned in pain. Sherry picked up the phone on Sherry's desk to call Medical. While she was on the phone Curlly arrived with Daine and a plate of cheesecake. Anedella and Jenni followed them in. Rita was on a cell phone in the corner making emphatic hand gestures as she spoke.

"What happen to Gunther?" Curlly asked in concern.

"I think it was DeLeah." Sherry said.

"Well, that is just not done here. Glory is he going to be all right?"

"Yeah as soon as medical gets a hold of him." Rita said after she hung up the phone as the med techs came in and took Gunther away.

Rita sat at her desk and turned off the Gelmanization program with a few quick taps. Everyone else took seats on the azure sofa and the comfy chairs in front of her desk. "I am sure you are wondering why we brought you here."

Sherry cut in. "We need your help in taking care of an internal matter."

"We think this would be a good training exercise for the new recruits." Rita said as she watched Curlly and Daine eating cheesecake. "Curlly did you leave any cheesecake in the cafeteria.

"Nope." She said proudly. "Did you expect me too? Especially with Daine here to help me out. But I did see Michael having lunch with DeLeah and Genie."

Rita and Sherry did not look too thrilled with that announcement. "We know that. What we need you for is..."

A knock at the door stopped the conversation. Rita looked at he security monitor and smiled.

"Rita that smile is pure mischief." Curlly said. "What have you done?"

"You'll see." She pressed the button to open the door. In walked a man roughly about six feet tall with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair. He was carrying a panel, which he handed to Rita.

"Good afternoon," he said in a deep baritone with a slight English accent.

"Good Afternoon." Rita replied politely. Thank you for coming."

"Glory! Where did you come from?" Curlly sat straight up.

"Darling are there more from where you came from?" Asked Anedella as she looked at him appraisingly.

Sherry and Rita looked over the panel. Sherry looked up as a matter of fact there are a quite a few waiting in the hall. Daine and Jenni got up to look outside Rita's office door.

"Whoa there darlin!" She looked down the hall and saw a line of all different types of gorgeous men lined up panels in hand.

"Are you ladies opening a meat market?" asked Jenni tartly.

"I know you guys are not giving up Michael." Curlly said knowingly.

Sherry and Rita looked at Curlly. "Of course not we are merely finding Genie and DeLeah some men of their own." Rita said simply.

"We need your help to conduct interviews and put the plan into action." Sherry said.

"No problem." Curlly said. The other girls agreed as well.

************

Rita and Sherry stayed with Curlly and the girls for a little while until they were sure things were going well.

Sherry touched Rita's shoulder to get her attention. "I think it's time," she whispered. Rita nodded.

"Ladies, we're gonna leave this process in your capable hands for a little. Once you have it narrowed down to six possibles, we'll be back to help make the final selection," Rita said as she and Sherry headed out the door. "We have some business to take care of."

"Sure, no problem," Curlly called as she turned her attention back to the gorgeous man sitting in front of her. Daine, Jenni and Anedella couldn't believe the parade of gorgeous men Rita and Sherry had rounded up for them.

"Let me grab the blueprints and then we'll check on Gunther," Sherry said. She slipped into her office, grabbed the plans and then she and Rita headed to Medical. They discovered that Gunther had to be sedated. He apparently couldn't stop saying he wasn't attracted to Michael and it was making him crazy. But the doctors assured the ladies that he would be fine in a day or so, once they had a chance to deprogram him.

"Good," Sherry said. "We need Gunther. Get him back as soon as you can," she ordered and then she and Rita headed off to the other end of CLHQ.

Sherry was walking at a swift pace. "Hey girl, slow down, would ya!" Rita grumbled. "I don't think we have to race quite so fast. Let's save some energy, okay?" Sherry sighed. "Okay, sorry. I just think it's time we unveil the room."

Rita got a wicked grin on her face. "Oh yeah. Can't wait for them to see it!" The girls entered the new room, one which they had been working on for a while but no one knew exactly what they were up to. It was behind the moms' offices in an area that wasn't occupied. North had given them the okay to use the room, although she had no idea what they were up to and was certain it probably wouldn't be good.

They went over the plans carefully and checked that all the equipment was present and accounted for. They also checked to see that it worked.

"I'm sure glad North saved the Disco Ball from the fire," Rita exclaimed. "If this doesn't get to 'em, I don't know what will!"

Sherry sighed. "Well, the country music might work on DeLeah, but not Genie. She loves the stuff. So, what do you think? Classical? Rap? Big Band? Guess we'll have to check her file a little closer."

Rita nodded. "Yeah. But hopefully just the threat of this place will take care of it." The girls laughed and headed back to their offices.

North saw them and called to them. "Rita, Sherry, what are you up to? And what are you doing in that room?"

Rita laughed. "Oh North, you can be the first one to see it!" They walked back to the room and unveiled their newest creation to North. Rita proudly announced, "North, welcome to the 'Stay Away from Michael' Room!"

North laughed out loud. "You guys have gone too far this time! You know Michael won't let you do this."

Sherry shrugged. "Yeah, we know. But most of them don't know that. It's the fear factor we want to use. Besides, if Michael gives us any grief, we always have our backup plan."

Rita nodded and then they all returned to their offices. As Sherry and Rita headed to Rita's office, they noticed Michael, Genie and DeLeah coming down the hall. Luckily, at that moment, Mentz came out of one of the doorways and headed in Sherry's direction. Never one to miss an opportunity, Sherry took full advantage.

"Hey, Mentz." Mentz smiled and stopped to talk to her.

"Sherry, how are you? Haven't seen too much of you lately," he remarked.

Sherry sighed and laid a hand on his arm. "I know. I've been pretty busy. You certainly are looking handsome today."

Mentz blushed and thanked her. Sherry stole a quick glance over Mentz's shoulder and noticed Michael staring at them. 'It's working,' she thought.

Rita, noticing what was going on, deciding to play along. "Sherry, I'm going to go spend some time with Gunther. He is awfully handsome, isn't he? I can't believe anyone would do that to him." As she started to walk away, she noticed Michael's expression. It wasn't pleasant. She decided to hang out a little way down the hall and see what happened.

Just as Michael and his lunch companions arrived, Sherry asked Mentz, "So what are you doing this evening?"

Mentz replied, "Oh, I don't have anything special planned..." Just as Sherry was going to reply, Michael called to her. "Sherry. I need to see you. NOW."

Sherry sighed and rolled her eyes to Mentz. "Sorry, duty calls. I'll talk to you later."

Mentz smiled a lovely smile at her and said, "I look forward to it."

Rita was watching the by-play and trying not to laugh. Their plan was working.

Sherry turned to Michael. "Yes, Michael?"

"In your office," he said and followed her in and slammed the door.

"Uh oh," Rita said. "Better do some damage control."
