DETECTIVE'S STORY

I walked up to the door, I've watched this door many times but never been inside.

But tonight was different.

Tonight I would enter the fight club.

I'm a detective. I was in a store one day and I heard people talking about a fight club opening up around here. I heard of clubs like these popping up all over the country. Dangerous things, apparently. I'd also heard of a man named Tyler Derden, the ring leader of these groups. He went from city to city, causing quite a stir. Eventually this one guy heard of these heroic acts and decided to make his own fight club. Tyler was in no way attached but it still made sense to bring it down. So I go down to the place their running this out of and check it out. It's a small run down boxing centre with a big wooden door. From 9:00 to 9:15 people would walk through that door. Then they would come out hours later half dead. Eventually I grabbed a guy and interrogated him he squealed enough evidence to make this a worthy target. And so, on this Friday night I knock on that big, wooden door. It opens a crack and a man peeks his head out and says, "Sorry, too late."

That gets me mad. No one should ever get me mad. I punch the guy in the nose and hear it brake. He stumbles out of my way, trying to conceal his pain. I walk down the stairs just as the leader begins to say the rules. Ah, the rules. There were rumors about them too. He walks around the crowd and as I feel him brush by me I spin and plant my heel to his face. He falls and I pull out my badge and say, "Listen up, your going down!" That's when they pile on top of me in a flurry of fists. I feel my bones brake and I think, damn it! Why did I have to steal that cop's badge! My fist soon gets bloody as I pound it into the face of my attackers. Eventually the last of them rolls off me and I pounce on the leader. His teeth fall down his throat and he gasps blood. I stand above him, him and all of his followers at his pathetic little knock-off. I stand above him and I, Tyler Durden, say, "That's all you've got? Don't you get it. This was a test. And you failed."
