Chapter 1
Knockout
"What a hook!" The officer exclaimed as he watched the TV above seeing a girls kickboxing match. Inside the precinct the detectives and officers looked up at the TV watching a title match against the champion and number one contender. "Gessh you would never know that was Melinda's daughter. The way she takes out her opponents it seems like she's fixing to send any of them to her mother's morgue in an instant." Another officer said as everyone laughed.
"This will be over soon enough." Said the black haired detective as the other officers looked at him in disbelief. This was only round three and the match was only 20 minutes in. "Knowing her she's not the type to draw things out longer than they have to." Sadly enough he was right, in every round the champion always gave a minimum of three damaging blows but it was always the round bell that saved her victim. Elliot turned around in his desk to answer his ringing desk phone. "Detective Stabler" He answered.
"Whoa!" Elliot's head snapped over to the TV as the Officer shouted, everyone looking on in awe. "This could be a tide changer here!" The contender had gotten the champion in an arm lock that looked like it dislocated her shoulder, pain clearly washing over her face as she fought to get out of it. The champion writhed as much as could to get her left arm out of the grip. Profanity clearly slipping from her lips ever so often as the ref asked her if she wanted to give up or tap.
"Come on Michaela…" Olivia started to become anxious in her chair. Everyone was on edge waiting to see if the champion would tap as she tried to undo her opponent's legs. "Yeah, ok thanks Mel." Elliot continued his conversation on the phone, "Third Round, but it's not looking too good for our champ here." Olivia chimed in "She's doing fine Mel!" She had to shoot Elliot a quick glance.
A short smile came over Elliot's face as he covered the mouth piece to the office phone. "She says yeah she'll be just fine as soon as she gets out of that arm bar." Liv slightly kicked herself forgetting that there was a TV in Melinda's office. Elliot removed his hand and answered with a few more Ok's before thanking her and hanging up.
"What's up?" Liv asked wanting to know the original reason for their ME calling. "Well it seems like Mel is kind of busy down there the blood test should be back in a few minutes but the results for the semen won't be in until tomorrow." At that moment Fin walked into the precinct with Munch and multiple boxes of pizza. It didn't take long for the officers to gang the New York style pizza taking a slice each, they continued to watch the match.
"Damn. This is going to slow us down." Olivia ran her hand through her hair. "I don't think so; we have an officer sitting on the house so he's not going anywhere. The blood results are all we need to arrest him if he tries to flee the country." Elliot said shaking off the new development and turning back to the TV. "Good" Liv said. Meanwhile the two women continued to lie on the somewhat bloody mat, the champion starting to peel the woman's legs from her arm. She knew the gash in her opponents head would soon be helping her in these turn of events because of the extreme amount of blood loss.
"She almost has er!" Everyone was on the edge of their seats or desk. It didn't take three seconds before the champ had gotten the other girl off of her and was on top of her throwing multiple punches until she finally let go of her arm. "Yeah!" The officers shot up cheering as the champ rolled off and let the ref start the ten count while she stood.
"1!" The Ref started counting but that didn't last long because the other fighter was up by the five count. "Awwe!" Things where looking slim, at this point both women looked beat down, one with a gash in her head while the other one bled from the mouth. The commentator started to hype up the audience "With five minutes left in the round ladies and gentlemen we are sure to see a knock out from either our champion or soon to be champion."
Everyone took a sharp breath in as the two women approached each other with fists or a fist up and ready. "Even if she did get a punch off with that left arm the punch wouldn't have enough force behind it. Her balance has to be thrown off with that, how's she going to fight with one hand?!" A rookie officer rattled off.
"All she needs is one." A voice said approaching Olivia and Elliot. "Mel, you came to see the grand finale." Elliot smirked still looking at the TV as Melinda handed Olivia a folder with the blood results in it. Mel walked to the side of their desk and leaned against it folding her arm and watching the supposedly final moments of the title match. The Opponent threw the first punch Michaela ducked then moved to the right, the contender kept throwing punches but she was easily avoided. This annoyed her and she became irritated soon after throwing jabs and kicks without thinking. Then without anyone being able to process it all Michaela punched the woman square in the temple; knocking her out cold. "Told you, only one." Melinda smiled leaning off the desk and sticking her hands in her back pocket to watch the count out.
Blood leaked from the woman's head onto the mat once again the difference from all the times before…there was there was no movement. The crowd went wild "Knockout punch ladies and gentlemen!" The referee started counting to ten as Michaela leaned on the ropes stretching her arms out along them and leaning back. "The Champion is confident that she has this match in the bag!" The commentator continued his bantering.
"8…9…10!" The referee finished the ten count throwing his hand towards the bell ringer signaling to ring the bell for the end of the match. "Yeah! Atta girl!" Elliot shot out of his chair along with everyone in the office who was now screaming and giving each other high fives; even the rookie officer from before. The contender was removed from the ring by medical crew and taken to be treated for the gash in her forehead.
They continued to watch and celebrate as the ring announcer came back into the ring. "Ladies and gentlemen our winner and still the Woman's Kickboxing Champion, Michaela Warner!" The Referee raised her hand in the air before she was handed her title belt. Michaela slung it over my dislocated shoulder using it as somewhat of a shield to cover her injury as the confetti came down from the roof. Her entourage of trainers and medical staff came into the ring and celebrated with her, as the crowd started to approach the ring. One of her body guards came into the ring and help put on her silk jacket that she entered in with, putting the hood over her head. They exited the ring as the fans were distracted by autographed photos of the reigning champ that were being thrown out to them.
"Well that was an interesting fight if I do say so myself." Olivia said looking at Melinda and smiling. "Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that shoulder bothers her for sometime though, she probably won't be able to fight for a few weeks." Mel said worried but almost relieved. She left after all the celebration was over, the officers and detectives started to get back to work as well shuffling through paper work and sipping their coffee. A door opened from behind everyone and Cragen walked out. The detectives' heads shot out of their work and looked up at Cragen in anticipation. "We're sitting on the wrong person." Elliot looked up confused, "What do you mean?" Cragen's hands found the insides of his pockets as his jacket ruffled upward "We've got two more bodies; both of them had letters engraved in their back." The detectives fell silent as Olivia whispered under her breath "Shit."
