Ryu jogged to his car and paused after getting a funny feeling. 'Why am I nervous? Nothing's following me.' He thought. He was about to put the key into the keyhole when a rough hand grabbed his shoulder and aggressively turned him. He came face to face with a large white man clad in gray track pants. The man had a large blonde Mohawk and a beard. 'Muscular', Ryu thought and sighed. As calmly as he could he spoke, "What?"

The man laughed and backed away from Ryu. "Don't act like you aren't scared little boy." He haughtily announced.

Ryu looked around. There were by passers watching the confrontation unfolding. They whispered among themselves, pointing at both Ryu and the burly stranger. 'Can't cause a ruckus here. I'll have to take it somewhere else.' "Hey, what's your name big guy?" Ryu asked.

The man laughed. "Shrimps like you don't need to know, but since you asked so nicely, it's Zangeif. Russian Boxing Champion. You heard of me little one?" He replied arrogantly.

Ryu rolled his eyes at Zangeif's arrogance. He glared at him and chuckled. "You're such a blockhead. You can't judge a book by its cover you know. Anyway, why are you here?"

Zangeif stopped laughing. "Shadowlaw's leader, the great M. Bison sent me here to "take care" of you. It shouldn't be too much of a problem. I dunno why you're such a threat to him."

At hearing Shadowlaw mentioned, Ryu felt worried about Chun Li. What if they went after her already? Hopefully she's okay.

Zangeif charged at Ryu, breaking Ryu's train of thought. He through a low punch to the left, grazing Ryu's gut.

Ryu stepped back in surprise and delivered a kick to Zangeif's shin. Then a punch to Zangeif's left cheek. That made the boxer topple back and groan in evident pain.

"Why…you…" He tried to say but he was out of breath and hacking.

Ryu smiled in victory. Then he noticed a ragged woman limping toward Zangeif. He eyed her. She was clutching her stomach and blood was dripping from her face.

Zangeif noticed this too and to Ryu's and everyone else's horror, he grabbed the woman in a chokehold. Everyone gasped and backed away.

Ryu held his ground.

The woman's eyes widened in surprise and didn't struggle against Zangeif.

"Whatcha gonna do how tough guy." Zangeif taunted as he pressed the knife to the side of her throat and crimson liquid started trailing down chest.
