Here's the second chapter!
Chapter Two
A Fight and a Dinner
Sydney approached the building from across the street, looking much like an innocent pedestrian. She stepped into the building and headed toward a door to the left. A man suddenly appeared from the shadows, standing in front of Sydney, blocking her way."Where do you think you're going?" growled the man.
"I'm going to see the Fox." replied Sydney.
"Well then, you gotta pass the test."
Sydney, her hair in a ponytail, had taken off her light outer jacket, revealing a white tank top. She was standing opposite a muscular man. The man who stopped her was staring at her hungrily.
"Are you sure he can handle me?" teased Sydney.
"He could handle two of you." retorted the other man.
"We'll see about that." said Sydney as she attacked.
No more than thirty seconds later, Sydney had the man pinned to the ground.
"Pretty good. Now you gotta beat me." The other man jumped in. It took Sydney forty-five seconds to beat him.
Soon, Sydney was in the Fox's "office" with the other man, now sporting a black eye.
"I have come to join you as a Bloodfox." Luther looked at Sydney in obvious approval.
"Looks like you passed the test from Luther." remarked the Fox, glancing at him. Luther grunts, still in shock at his ungainly defeat. "All right, Bloodvixen, the next meeting's in two hours. Meanwhile..."
Sydney found herself displayed her fighting skills to the Fox.
"Who trained you?" wondered the Fox.
"One of the Bloodfoxes. Dan." responded Sydney, in perfect timing with the fight at hand.
"Bring in this... 'Dan' person." the Fox said to a man standing by the door. Minutes later, the man stepped back in, followed by none other than Gage.
"You trained...I'm sorry, I didn't get her name." said the Fox.
"She's...Alyssa." responded Gage, after sneaking a look at Sydney, who mouthed "Alyssa" in the middle of a block. "And, yes, I trained her."
"She fights well. She'll work with you since she knows you best. Now get out of here. Take Caitlin with you." ordered the Fox.
"So this is Bloodfox headquarters." said Sydney, "I've only been in the labs."
Now seemed like a opportune moment to do what he'd been planning for......well, ever. Gage summoned up his courage and moved a little closer. Swallowing hard, he blurted, "Dinner at Le Paradis sur Nuage Argent?"
His question caught Sydney off guard. "Are you asking me on a date?" said Sydney, breathlessly, in surprise.
"What do you think?" Gage prompted, a devilish grin creeping onto his face.
"Hm...Alright. I'll have dinner with you." Sydney said after whirling around and punching Gage in the stomach.
"Great!" wheezed Gage.
Later that night, Sydney and Gage were sitting across from each other at a small white table complete with white table cloth, rose, and wine. Sydney was in a red, very sexy red strappy dress slit dangerously high up the thigh and Gage was in a nice suit: it was the perfect setup for a romantic night.
"So you're sure we have all night?" Sydney asked for the hundredth time that night.
"Yes I'm sure. I double-checked with everyone." replied Gage annoyedly but mesmerized by Sydney's beauty.
The waiter approached them "May I take your order, monsieur and madame?"
Sydney immediately responded, "I'll have the sirloin steak with cream of mushroon sauce, medium rare, veggie side dish please."
"I'll have the same. Sounds good." said Gage.
"Thank you. I'll be back with your orders. " The waiter politely bowed and walked away.
"So. Do you want some wine?" Gage opened the bottle of wine from the ice bucket and poured then each a glass. After some light conversation, the waiter returned with their orders.
"Here you go monsieur... and here you go madame. Enjoy.".
