A Showing of the Heel

It was nighttime and it had been about forty-five minutes since Kary and Reiko left. Patrick was still looking but more and more girls had shown up at the club. R.J. called them all in and told them to leave and go back to the hotel because they were going to continue a stake out. Before the group left, Bret thought he saw to familiar people walk into the club but he just shrugged it off.

Kary walked along the walls looking into the crowd of club goers, trying to find the kidnapper Patrick saw in the flashing lights. She kept looking back towards the entrance as people came and went. Kary couldn't stand the constant pop and hip-hop songs that they played and she wished they played No Sleep Till Brooklyn by the Beastie Boys because that was supposed to be a party song by a hip-hop rock group. She leaned against a wall and kept looking when she heard, "No sleep till…Brooklyn!" No Sleep Till Brooklyn started playing as Kary thought, "Well they have some taste in music." As Kary looked around she saw the age difference was large. There were teenage girls at the age of fifteen ranging to woman of their late twenties. "Are you new here as well?" Kary turned her head at the girl who held the door open for her and Reiko. Kary answered quickly, "Yeah. One of my friends told me to check the place out. She had to leave earlier after just getting here." "Sorry to hear about that. My name is Lauren Nelson and I came with one of my friends to. Who was the girl you came in with? She looks familiar somehow." Kary continued scanning the club as she answered, "She came with me. She's another one of my friends." This girl Lauren was a slightly energetic girl who asked a lot of questions. She leaned against the wall next to Kary. "So who are you looking for? You keep looking out all over the place." She did ask a lot of questions. The song ended as Kary came up with the excuse, "I'm looking for someone to dance with." Lauren chuckled and said, "Well I'll dance with you. It's not uncommon for strangers to dance here from what I'm told." Kary stood thinking, "Crap Hart now you're in deep. You're straight for one thing, you dwarf this girl by a few inches, and you can't dance. She's a sweet girl and you don't want to be a douche but maybe you can get a better look around." Kary then spoke and answered, "Sure. Thanks Lauren." Lauren took Kary's hand and led her out into the dance floor. Swing Life Away by Rise Against played and Kary thought, "Something good and familiar at least." Lauren took Kary's hands as she led Kary to the rhythm.

Reiko was looking around as she walked along the edge tapping on the walls for any hollow spots. Reiko hummed along to the music as she looked for the woman as well when she saw on the dance floor Kary and the girl who had held the door open for them. "Kary's obviously still looking. She keeps looking in all directions."

Kary took the time to quickly take Lauren's features. She had dark blonde hair in a curly ponytail and had a sort of foggy blue eye color. She had to be around five-four or five-five, about 115 lbs, was wearing a purple sleeveless shirt that cut off above her belly button, had black jeans, and converse that Kary made out an A, a 7, and an X on them. "I like those contacts you have. Red would be an awesome eye color. I see it all the time in the anime I read. Plus I like your tattoo as well." Kary couldn't help but smile as the girl talked as they danced. Lauren led Kary and was a surprisingly good dancer as Kary followed her easily. She then saw Reiko looking at her with a cheeky smile on her face. Kary mouthed, "Shut it." as the song ended.

Lauren had her eyes trained to the ground as she said, "Thanks for the dance uh…I didn't get your name." Kary replied with a false name because she didn't want to get the attention of anyone who has seen her. "Natalya Stone. Plus you're the one who danced with me. You took lead and helped me. I'm eighteen and you're sixteen." Lauren quickly replied, "I'm not sixteen, I'm fifteen." Kary or Natalya gave Lauren a friendly punch and said, "Doesn't matter I'm older and you took charge when I didn't. Keep doing that and you'll be fine in the future." Kary got a shock when Lauren gave her a quick hug and said, "Thanks and your welcome Natalya. I'm counting you as a friend because I don't have many." then she walked off. Kary felt a slight tear drop come to her eyes. She wiped it quickly saying to herself, "Why is she out this late and here? Why isn't she with her parents? How many others are out there that don't have many friends if any at all?" Kary sighed and said again, "Such a nice girl." Then she walked in the direction of Reiko.

"Making a friend?" Reiko asked. "Yeah I guess but I walked myself into that. Anyways have you found the woman because I have zip?" Kary replied. "Nothing. I've been tapping along the walls to try and find any hollow spots and didn't find anything. Did anyone tell you that you look good as a blonde?" Reiko told Kary as she was pushing hair out of her eyes. That's when Kary looked towards the bar and saw the person they were looking for. Through the flashing lights Kary could make out a woman with brown hair, a five-seven build, and was moving her shoulder slightly. She then got up and went to a room that said, "Restroom." Kary pointed slightly and whispered to Reiko, "I believe I just saw her go into the bathroom. I'm going to be the one to confront her." Kary said. Reiko nodded and said, "You talk and I'll keep watch outside. I'll knock if someone's coming."

Riley and Johnny both woke up to a shout. "What do you mean friends of these two saw you and recognized you?" This was a female voice as well as a man's voice yelling at someone. "I mean the kid that stabbed me in the shoulder and that you shot is here with a group of others. He recognized me somehow but I think I lost them." a familiar female voice said. "You think? You think? Why are they here in the first place? Who are they with?" the male's voice asked. "It doesn't matter if they're here then they have to know something. That nurse lady that said these brats's sibling was rescued by four people, all wearing police Kevlar. That means there are officers on her side here and you have no doubt just led them here." "What do they mean Johnny? Are we going to be helped?" Riley asked her brother. Johnny replied, "I don't know but I think the one being yelled at is the one who's been leaving food." Riley squealed when a banging on the door came as the male shouted, "Shut it you brats!" The sounds of footsteps then a door opening and closing were heard. The male voice said, "Call nurse what's her name. We need to move them and take care of Wells."

"Wells did you get yelled at? I heard that jarhead and your boss from up here." the bartender asked. Wells just nodded and drank her drink. "If their connections weren't worldwide and we wouldn't be in danger I'd say we go to the police. You told me you had no idea about kidnapping and you know well enough that they are hiding those kids in my apartment down there." Wells just pushed her brown hair out of her face and said, "I know that there are police officers that probably now know those twins are in here now. I have a feeling I'll be dead within the next few days because I was followed by the exact person who stabbed me and that Silk shot." Wells scratched her neck but pulled her arm down because her shoulder burned with pain still. "Go wash your face hon. I can't stand seeing one of my friends like this." "Fine Grace." Wells said getting up. She walked into the restroom and she or the bartender Grace didn't notice a tall blonde hair girl and shorter black hair girl walk after her. After Grace turned on the sink and splashed water in her face thinking, "I wish I did have a saving grace from the Corporation." "Is that who took my brother and sister?" a sudden voice said in reply.

The kidnapper faced Kary as she said, "Is that who took my brother and sister?" in response. "Who are you?" the kidnapper asked. "I don't look anything like them but I'm the older sister of the green eyed and blonde haired twins you kidnapped and I want…them…back." Kary stepped forward as she put in, "My hair is really white just so you know." The kidnapper sighed and said, "Well I guess you want to know where they are. You should really go to the bartender. She wants to go to the police but our employer will get us killed if they found out we want to go to them." Kary was face a foot from the woman as she said back with malice, "Am I suppose to believe the one who my friend had to stab to protect himself and his other friends? I've been struck with grief and was kidnapped myself in case you want to know." "Look it's hard to believe but I had no idea we were doing a kidnapping until I was ordered to help! I was told if I didn't aid further in the kidnapping then my employers as well as my boss would hurt my family. You're friend had the right to stab me but I didn't shoot him." Kary felt like she stiffened slightly and said in a sudden monotone voice, "You're right. I don't goddamn believe you." She then threw a swift right hook that connected with the woman's cheek. There was such an impact that the woman was spun in a one-eighty turn and fell to the floor. Kary gripped her head as pain suddenly exploded in it and she then caught a glimpse of her left arm. The tattoo had shown up out of nowhere.

The woman stood up slowly and said, "I deserve that I know but you have to know I only joined the Corporation because I needed the money. I had no idea until the kidnapping what they really did! That's when my boss threatened my entire family!" Kary grabbed the woman by the head and drove her knee into her stomach. The kidnapper fell to the ground gasping for breath. "Then who hired you then? Where are my siblings? Are they even in this building or did you just come in here to try and ditch us?" The kidnapper stood up slowly and slowly gasped out, "They're here! But you can't get to them or you'll get yourself killed because my boss and her jarhead friend are there. I'm going to no doubt be killed because of you and your friends following me. You need to get your police friends and come tomorrow during the day. I can get my friend to let them in. She's forced to hide your siblings in her apartment." Kary grabbed the woman by the shoulders and held her against the line of sinks at an angle that would break her back if punched hard enough in the chest or head. "You'll just be leading them into a bullet in the chest trap." Kary was still speaking in the strange monotone voice. The kidnapper was struggling while she said, "Let me tell you who hired us then! She was this crazy ass nurse lady! She had an English accent, was in the craziest nurse outfit I'd ever seen, and she was a complete psycho. I only saw her after we took your siblings because she was the one who fixed my shoulder." Kary let off as a knocking came from the restroom door, "You and you're friend work out how you'll contact my officer friends. I'm going to deal with your payer since I know who she is. I'll get my brother and sister back one way or another." Kary started walking and grasped her head again as another explosion of pain came as she walked out of the restroom into Reiko. "I'd wish I didn't hear what happened in there. Wait that tattoo is back!" Kary's eyes were closed as the girl Lauren came up and asked, "What's wrong with Natalya?" Reiko quickly answered, "She got a headache. I'm going to take her back to her dorm." Lauren held out a slip of paper and asked, "Can you give her this then? It's my number because friends should have each other's number right?" "I'll do that." Reiko replied. Reiko supported Kary out of the club as Kary mumbled, "To R.J. now. I've…found important…info."

"Luna we got someone trying to get in your gym. They're knocking on the door and asking something." James said into a walkie-talkie. "That's Hinomoto's voice. What the hell! I thought they went back to the hotel. R.J., get your giant ass here. James, Kerrigan stay watching."

Wells walked slowly out of the bathroom covering her face and wiping her mouth. She sat down at the bar as Grace asked in shock, "The hell happened to you?" Wells replied clutching her face, "When are they moving those twins?" "Two o'clock tomorrow, why?" "If you still want to get the cops and try to make amends: nows our chance."

"So they are in the owner's apartment under the club? Why would Grace do that? She's a nice woman who keeps that place in check." Luna asked. She stood next to Kary who was sleeping in her desk's chair. "I managed to hear what Kary was saying and doing. This kidnapper apparently didn't know anything until she was outside with the other two. She and her family got threatened, she's regretting it and if her friend is this Grace then I'm just guessing that it's a similar matter. You need to be ready at that front door Luna for a message." Reiko answered. "It seems that the person who paid for the kidnapping was Anesthesia or Dr. Cutter. That nurse won't be pinned to the crime because of her high ranking in the Corporation running the tournament. Not many people know about the Corporation but she's said she is a businesswoman for them. I don't think Kary can beat her in a fight though." "Wait a second! I have that places number. Grace gave it to me in case I had any complaints. Let me call. R.J., use that crafty mind of yours to come up with a strategy." Luna said going to her desk and taking a number out. She started to dial that in as R.J. thought, "Anesthesia no doubt will be called to supervise the twins transfer. If we can get a distraction that can keep her busy then me, Luna, James, and Kerrigan can hit the place and rescue Kary's siblings. Reiko said that Kary wanted to deal with Anesthesia but she doesn't have the skill level of that nurse. There isn't any use in changing her mind because hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Now speaking of Kary: what the hell did Reiko describe? It doesn't make sense." Luna started talking on the phone, "Hey Grace. Yeah this is Bennet from next door. I got your message on those two packages of mine that you got from me. Can you bring them over?" Luna's voice got slightly lower and less upbeat. "Yes you know what I mean. Got it, thanks." Luna then hung up. "Got your pistol R.J.?" R.J. turned sideways and lifted his shirt showing a holster containing a Colt M1911. "Now we wait." Luna said walking out the office with R.J. and leaving Reiko with Kary.

"Luna there are two people knocking on the gym's door." Kerrigan said into a walkie-talkie. "Got it."

Luna opened up the door and a woman about five-nine with platinum blonde hair and green eyes walked in with a woman about five-seven and brown hair. R.J's hulking six-seven figure came out of the shadows with his M1911 drawn and closed the door. Luna then said sternly, "Start talking now."

The club owner relayed her story about the twins being brought into her club and being stowed away in her basement home because her family was threatened by the Corporation. She was in deep with a money loaning business and the Corporation bailed her out because they needed a meeting place for their "business"." Wells, the other woman, was her childhood and had got a job taking mail for a section of the Corporation that was in her home city of Boonville. She was paid to transport two other people in the area to a house where all of a sudden one of the women told her the truth of what they were doing. When she refused, the woman who told her said that she was ordered to say that Wells' family would be hurt if they didn't do as she was paid. After they got the twins, nurse woman who had paid them told them to bring them to The Oasis. "When are the twins being moved Grace?" Luna asked. "I was told two o'clock tomorrow by her boss. The nurse lady who paid them would be there. Wells thinks they're going to kill her because they say it was her fault that the same teens followed her." Luna responded with, "Here's what you'll do: you two will go to the transferring of the twins. My pal R.J. here will work together a distraction for the nurse woman since she's a wrestler in that Rumble Roses tournament. Then him, me, and two others will come and stop the transfer, catching them off guard. Sounds good?" "Yes but can you tell him to please point his gun the other way. I'm not straight because of men with guns." Grace said turning to the door. R.J. holstered his pistol but kept it at the ready. As the two left, the brown haired woman Wells said, "I'm sorry for what I was a part of." Luna turned to R.J. and said, "Tell your plan to Kerrigan and James.

The next day Kary woke up with a headache. She looked around and asked herself, "What happened? Why am I in the gym all of a sudden." "Glad you woke up Snow White. I figure you might want to hear the plan I came up with to get your brother and sister back?" R.J. asked. "Why don't I remember much of anything from last night?" R.J. answered, "From what Reiko heard, it seems something did happen to you when you were kidnapped. Reiko said that tattoo showed up and you seemed to change. She said when you talked it sounded like you had no emotions or something like that. Speaking of Reiko, if you were wondering she went back to the hotel now let me tell you my plan."

"So you're trusting two people who were paid to kidnap my siblings? The only thing I agree with on this plan is that I'm going to be distracting Anesthesia by beating her senseless. Thing is how are you going to get a match planned?" Kary asked. "That's where we actually got lucky. Another doctor actually said that Makoto couldn't fight because she reported that her head hurt. Turns out she had a concussion and she's going to be taking the day off. Guess you did a number on her still." R.J. answered. When Kary heard that she felt bad. "Then we got even more lucky is that they put you in Makoto's place against Anesthesia. Their match is a Street Fight and they decided to move it to two o'clock." R.J. finished. Kary tilted her head and asked, "What's a street fight match?" R.J. explained that street fight matches were some of the more dangerous matches because they took place outside the stadium. The arena is fenced in by two ten feet tall chain link fences and the concrete walls from outside the arena, all completely on the concrete ground. The way to win is to knock out your opponent using whatever way of fighting that come to mind. "So basically I get the chance to destroy the woman who paid to get my siblings kidnapped." Kary asked. R.J. nodded and said, "Yes but once Anesthesia finds out she will either change the time of moving you're siblings or go all out and try to take you down quickly." Kary laughed and stood up, "I won't let that happen. "Me, James, Kerrigan, and Luna are going to be waiting to be taking turns watching The Oasis. Reiko is going to walk here and then I'm going to drive you two to the tournament site. All the backstage employees are called in for a meeting about the Rumble Roses G.M." Kary followed R.J. asking, "Something happen to the first?" Reiko arrived outside the gym as R.J. unlocked his Crown Vic. "Something about him being arrested or something. They already have a replacement apparently so it's going to be interesting.

R.J. drove the two to the tournament site and parked. The three went through the employee and wrestler entrance. R.J. went down a different hallway where another backstage worker was going down and Reiko and Kary walked towards the locker room. "I feel bad that I gave Makoto a concussion. I'm only glad that I'm facing Anesthesia and at the time of the move…at least from what R.J. told me." Reiko gave Kary a friendly push and said, "Don't worry Kary, Makoto has seen worse than a concussion. Now its only eleven o'clock. You still have time before your match so you need to get psyched about taking care of Anesthesia."

R.J. was in an average sized office room with a desk at the end of it. Multiple other backstage guards and workers were standing with him. "So Sidonia, did you hear anything about what happened. A shorter woman in a similar security outfit that R.J. wore replied with a slight Russian accent, "I heard that he got arrested. You'll probably hear different from others because of gossip." A man in a janitor's uniform came up and said, "I'll tell you what I heard about the person they're bringing in. I heard that they were the one who told the police that the G.M. was in charge of an identity theft ring and possibly more." "Well we should probably find out soon. A two suits just arrived." Sidonia said. A man in a gray business suit and short slicked down black hair walked in with a woman behind him. The woman had scarlet red hair, blue eyes, and was dressed in a short white business skirt, a top that showed part of the back and had a strap wrap up around the neck to hold it up, and white boots with heels that went an inch past her ankle. The thing R.J. noticed first was not her figure but two red biohazard tattoos, one each on the back of her hands. "If the employees of the tournament will now stop their childish gossip I will tell you all what you all are going to do about your G.M. who was arrested and charged with numerous counts of identity theft and blackmail. How this happened I don't know but we have his replacement. May I introduce your new boss and the new G.M. of the tournament: Ms. Susan Stone." The man motioned towards the woman. "Make sure none of the wrestlers run Ms. Stone off because she says she wants to meet them personally." The man then turned around and left the room walking past the new G.M. The group of workers then asked, "Does anyone have any questions to ask me?" The man in the janitor's clothing asked, "Yeah. Do you have anything to do with the old G.M. being arrested?" Susan answered, "After I applied and he got this job, we got to know each other. Turns out he was doing criminal activity and it took me two years to finally get the evidence to the police. I was the only other person who they thought could handle this job so here I am. Is there anymore questions?" No one said anything. The G.M. smiled and said, "Good. Now everyone return to work. I'll make myself known when I feel like it." She then held the door open and the workers walked out. R.J. was last and he said, "Welcome to the job miss."

"Here's a list of the rest of the events later in the day." a female's voice with a Russian accent said. Kary turned around and saw a clipboard on the back the door outside of the locker room. Kary got up to look at it. "Aigle vs. Benikage in a Street Fight. Aisha vs. Candy Cane in a Pure Humiliation match. Yasha/Becky vs. Rowdy Reiko/Sgt. Clements in a tornado tag match. Great Khan vs. Sister A normal match. Announcement by G.M. Kary Hart vs. Anesthesia in a Street Fight. Dixie Clements vs. Mistress Spencer in a Pure Humiliation match. Reiko vs. Miss Spencer in a championship for the Rose of Roses title." Kary said to herself. "You're in Makoto's place for her Street Fight I see. Guess you did more to her than you both thought." Dixie said walking up behind her. "I heard I gave her a concussion. I didn't mean to do that but Reiko told me she's been through worse." Kary said with remorse. "Yeah we all have. But I think you'll end up getting worse if it's your first Street Fight especially since Anesthesia does really well in those." Kary pulled Dixie back as the door opened and the nurse walked in. "Hey Anesthesia, your match has been changed up. You're facing Hart here instead of Makoto at a different time: two o'clock." Dixie said to the nurse. Dixie didn't notice it but Kary did: she noticed a quick look of frustration and anger. "Why is this? I have a something I need to do at two! They decide to make my opponent the little sympathetic rookie!" "I don't make the rules sugar. Talk to the G.M. I'm sure Seymore has his reasons." Dixie said again and walked back to the T.V. part of the locker room. Kary stepped up to the nurse and said, "Bring your a-game because I'm bringing mine. I'm getting them back you psycho nurse and if its impossible to track you like I've heard then you better be ready for all your matches with me to be a living hell." "We'll see little girl." Anesthesia said and left the locker room. Makoto and Aigle walked past the nurse.

"Makoto won't be in match today. More damage done than thought." Aigle told Kary. "Aigle it's what happens all the time. We get hurt." Makoto told her protective friend. Kary pushed some hair out of her eyes and asked, "Look Makoto I'm sorry about that. I didn't know I did that much damage and I feel really bad about taking your match." Aigle was adjusting her pigtails as Makoto said, "I've taken far worse but if you're replacing me in my match then you might know what we mean by taking far worse." The three walked into the locker room and sat down to watch the matches.

Rock watched the teens he'd given a free chance set up their instruments. The blonde girl in black plugged in a black stratocastor into the amps, the red haired girl set up her drums with the help of a skinny brown haired boy in a sling and brown haired girl in pink, the very skinny boy with a rat-tail set up a keyboard, and a taller kid with brown curly hair set up a bass and then a microphone.

"Patrick your bass guitar is set up. Hope you can play it." Bret said. Patrick shrugged and said, "I'm going to try something I saw in a the credits of a Patrick Swayze movie. Gonna set it on my lap and use the pick to play. I can move my arm enough to play. It's just my shoulder that hurts." Teal strummed a little testing the amps and tuning the guitar, "What are we going to play? We can either do one by another band or do one of our own." "I think we should do Adams Song. It's the best one that I think we know." Bret said setting up a mic. Cey was setting one up for her and Patrick. No one else put anything up so Teal and Patrick finished tuning and they got ready. "Rock we're ready when you want us to start." Teal said. Rock was watching through the watch glass, pressed a button that said speaker, and said, "Your freebie says to start…now."

James and Kerrigan were in the rental car across the street from the club, R.J. was at the tournament, and Luna was getting some stuff that R.J. said would help. "Got a truck coming this way." Kerrigan said looking into the passenger side window. A white truck pulled up outside the club and two people got out and opened up the sliding back. There was a large amount of different drinks ranging from alcohol to tea. Two more people came out the back and were in the same outfits as the other two: white uniform shirts with a logo on the back and black uniform pants. "Seems like a little to much manpower to be moving drinks." Kerrigan said. She squinted and followed up, "Their asses are huge. They've got to be carrying. It looks like two males and two females. The two females have to be part of the group that kidnapped Kary's brother and sister and the males must be some extra precaution." They saw a platinum blonde woman open the door and let the four in. "Its one o'clock Kerrigan. Hey whatever happened to Damien and his father?" James asked. "I completely forgot about that. I have no idea. I haven't gotten anything on my phone about them. Last time I saw anything the chief said they had disappeared and the woman of the house was worried half to death." Kerrigan answered. "Never liked both of them. Like to see the rich pricks get out of this mess now when we catch them. I have a feeling he might because of how deep his fricken pockets are." James said. Kerrigan changed the subject, "We need to get R.J. and Luna here. No one has come out yet and we haven't seen anyone in a weird nurses outfit." James brought up a dark thought, "What if we don't get the drop on them or we get them out in the street? There are people walking and driving here and there and we don't want anyone caught in a crossfire. If we don't get the drop on them then we don't want Kary's family getting hurt." Kerrigan opened up the glove compartment and pulled out her pistol making sure the safety was on. "Lets just hope nothing does go bad then." she said.

"We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide the time was right

The tour was over I'd survived

I can't wait till I get home to pass the time

In my room alone"

The teens on the instruments started the outro of the song after the final chorus as Rock looked through the glass. He thought they did well. Not amazing but not perfect. It's hard to do an exact copy of a song by another artist because you don't know the cords. They had little bits and pieces where they messed up but they recovered surprisingly well. The outro finished as Rock pressed a button. He then pressed another button and said, "I only have two words for you."

As the match time got closer and closer Kary was psyching herself up. She had gone behind some lockers where none of the other roses were and was working on her punching and kicks. As she warmed up she thought of Riley and Johnny, the help of R.J. and Luna, her friends that were going to be watching her, the help that James and Kerrigan had brought, and the fact that she would be fighting the one responsible for messing with her head and siblings. She threw a quick flurry of punches and then slapped the palms of her hands against her head for more psyching. She looked around the corner at the clock and read, "one-thirty." Reiko was watching Kary warm and thought, "She got serious in zero to sixty in two point five seconds."

R.J. looked at his watch and called his boss. "I'm going to take some more of my leave again. I'll probably be gone a few hours." A gruff voice came on the walkie-talkie, "Fine we'll send someone down." R.J. then left as Great Khan walked in with Sister A as well. "Someone's coming down so just wait for them." R.J. said.

"Good job." Rock said. "You did a good job. Not good like Metallica and Five Finger Death Punch but not horrible." The teens in the music room got excited real fast. "Let me hear something else preferably one of your own creations." Rock finished. He heard Bret and Teal shout, "Lets go guys. Lets do As We Stand." (Authors note: That is an actual song I wrote.)

R.J. drove his Crown Vic behind James and Kerrigan's rental as Luna pulled up outside her gym. Everyone got out of their cars and walked in front of Luna's gym but someone got out with Luna. R.J. recognized the man as Gunther. All he asked Luna to do was get an extra clip or two for each of their pistols and ten extra shells for R.J.'s shotgun. Luna explained, "Gunther insisted on coming saying it would make you owe him something and because he wanted to help get innocent people saved." Gunther unzipped a small duffel bag and handed two magazines of ammunition for James and Kerrigan's Beretta pistols. He brought a magazine of ammunition for the two Berettas R.J. had as well as his M1911. Gunther then brought out a bandolier for him and R.J. and pulled a Ambrose shotgun out of the back of Luna's car. R.J. started loading up his shotgun and then holstered his M1911 and put a Berretta in the back of his pants as a secondary back up. They pulled their badges out as the people were looking and said, "Police business. Move along." They proceeded to load their guns as Luna had to say to a group of bystanders, "Move along now." R.J. went back to his car and pulled out the four emergency Kevlar vest from under the seat. "Sorry Gunther I only carry four." Gunther just shrugged and cocked the shotgun. "At two we go in. First me then Luna. James will follow up and Gunther will come next. Kerrigan you watch our backs." R.J. explained. "We look for the entrance to the owner's home downstairs no matter who is up here. Lets get ready to go. Ten more minutes." Luna finished

The voice of a man said, "Kary Hart, come with me, it's time for your match." Reiko patted Kary on the shoulder and Dixie, Makoto, Aigle, and Miss Spencer all said, "Good luck." Kary got up from her spot and went to the entrance of the locker room. She followed a tall man with black hair in a ponytail to the outside arena where the Street Fights were held.

"Guys, my brother texted that Kary's match is on at two! Hey Rock can we watch it here again?" Bret asked. Rock replied, "You did a good job so yes. Get on out of there kids."

Kary came out of a side entrance where a crowd was waiting around a fenced in area. Two of the stadium's concrete walls and two ten feet tall chain link fences surrounded a large area with just concrete for the ground. A door was open and Kary saw that Anesthesia was waiting in the center of it all. The crowd cheered as Kary walked through the chain door but she noticed a woman with scarlet hair and biohazard symbols tattooed on her hands had a microphone. The door was then closed with a rattle as Kary and Anesthesia stared each other down.

"It's two o'clock let's move!" R.J. said. He made his way to the club's entrance. He opened it up and made his way inside with the other four behind him. There was only one person and it was the platinum blonde woman Grace who was standing behind the bar. The five made their way quickly but quietly towards her. The five made their way around the bar and Grace pointed to a door slightly cracked. "If you and your friend truly want to help you watch our backs." R.J. said. Grace answered, "You should have time. They're waiting for the nurse woman who paid them." "Good. Please watch our backs Grace. We'll get you and your friend deals if we need to." Luna said putting her hand on Grace's shoulder and looking into her eyes. Grace nodded and R.J. headed through the door and down the stairs quietly followed by the others.
