The slim long haired blonde struck the man's face with such force that he fell back against the bonnet of the car that amongst others made up part of a circle, where the two of them were fighting for the pleasure of the watching invitees. The underground car park was packed with rich punters all willing to bet on the outcome of that evenings fight. Their cheering echoed around the car park, as the two squared up to each other.
The blonde waited until her opponent pulled himself up, before she delivered a blow that drew blood from his nose.
Giving him a sly smile as the crowd around them cheered louder,egging both fighters on, the rough looking man rugby tackled her, slamming her hard against the bonnet, head butting her as she hit the car.
Standing in the centre,the man raised his hands believing he had beaten this girl and he had won the money on offer.
She wasn't finished and came at him with two quick spinning kicks that made him stagger backward,she then kicked him in the chest so hard, it tipped him over the bonnet and out of the circle, this was out of bounds,this made her the winner, the referee held her hand up.
continuous applause rang out around the circle,as she made her way out,across to her van.

Sitting at the rear, wiping her bloody nose,and covering her bruises and cuts with her leather jacket, she took the money the man held in his outstretched hand 'good fight, more like that and you'll be able to play in the big leagues next time'
'Rems still not convinced I can handle them' she snapped as she unwound the bandages from her fists 'you know Rems, takes a lot to convince him' he said 'I'll call you with the next location' he called out as he walked away.
At twenty nine years old,she had resorted to fighting in these weekly fighting rings because she needed the money.
Her story,was one of confusion,three months ago she woke in an alley,with injuries she could not explain, she had no memory, no name, the only thing she had was this ability to fight.
As she stood, she became aware that a man was coming across the car park, the well dressed man, in the tailored suit, stopped in front of her. She didn't look up, she knew who he was 'the General would like to see you'
She stood 'not interested'
He followed her as she walked around to the front of the van 'the general expected your answer to be one of refusal' he said 'but he still wanted me to bring you to his location, he told me to tell you that it is very important that he speak to you'
She stopped and turned to face the man 'it always is'
'I have a car waiting' he said gesturing over to the car that stood back from the others. She knew from past meetings, that General Collins was a man who always got what he wanted,so she walked in front of the man towards the car, another man wearing a army uniform held the door open for her. She slipped inside.

The car went down to a lower level, stopping by the waiting limo, the army driver opened the door for her, stepping out she walked across, seeing the grey haired General, climb out of the rear 'My dear. You look' he hesitated as he saw her appearance 'unlike I remember'
'thank you General. What could have brought you into this part of town at this time of night'
'You of course'
She smiled 'well,what ever you have to say to me, you had better make it quick, I have things to do, places to be'
'I need your help'
'Like I said, I'm not interested, I don't work for you' 'No but you were grateful for my help when I found you, in the gutter' He smiled 'it took me a while to find you again, you certainly made it hard for me, then when I was told what you had been up too since we parted company, I was rather surprised' 'I'm afraid you've made a wasted journey'. 'This will be a one time, one job assignment' he said 'what have you heard about sanctuary' 'The big building by the water' she said. 'Thats right, Helen Magnus' She gave a look of slight recognition 'what do you want with them' she asked. 'I need you to pay them a visit,they have something I need'. 'Why me, their not going to let me inside without a good reason'. 'Oh I think they will let you in' he said smiling at the blonde who was the spitting image of Ashley Magnus.
