A Sad Beginning

Tina Kwee killed by him? It was impossible! They were in two different parts of the country! Lee Ping could not understand it. Further more, there was no proof Tina was truly dead. She fell into a lake and did not surface? It did not make any sense. Tina was a good swimmer she could hold her breath for a few minutes. She could not have drowned!

And now the Hoplite believed this to be true! His greatest ally who was also his greatest opponent. Someone whom Lee knew not the identity of!

So it was that Lee investigated the circumstances behind Tina's alleged death. In her apartment, Lee searched through Tina's files. This was not something he normally would have done but he had no choice.

What did he find? Information about some mad project of Joseph Stalin's!

And that was when the Hoplite appeared in the doorway.

"So, breaking killing Tina was not enough?" asked the Hoplite. "Now you have to break into her apartment and go through her files?"

"I did not kill Tina!" replied Lee.

"Oh really? Well the person who killed Tina certainly matches your description. Unless your brother has risen from the grave I am having a hard time believing that."

"I was nowhere near Lake Ontario!"

"An alibi, eh?"

"It is the truth!"

"Since when have blackguards ever spoken the truth?"

"I am not a blackguard! I am a champion!" insisted Lee.

"Then prove it!"

"I can't."

"Then it looks like you have no choice but to fight, Lee!"
