"This is the worst assignment ever." Wynonna scoffed readjusting herself in her seat again. She dropped the binoculars she had been holding to her eyes into her lap.
"If you could sit still instead of blowing our cover," dolls retorted shooting her a look. Wynonna just rolled her eyes and bit into the donut she had just pulled out of the bag Waverly had prepared. "Doc? Can you adjust we aren't getting
a good view." Dolls spoke into the headset he was wearing. They were viewing the inside of the fight club on an open laptop in Dolls lap.
"Rule number 1, never bring the law" Doc retorted adjusting his hat which held the tiny camera.
"Explain to me again why Doc and Haught-pants got to be the ones to go to the party and we're stuck on diaper duty?" Wynonna asked looking through the binoculars are the two Revenants guarding the door.
"Because Haught is new in town, her face isn't well known, she can fly under the radar. While you," dolls turned towards Wynonna, "you like to go flying over in a flaming, pink, jet."
"Pink?!" Wynonna said offended she looked Dolls directly in the eyes and took a giant bite of her donut. She mumbled another reply, mouth full of donut powdered sugar flying from her lips.
"Sssshhhhh" Waverly said leaning up between the seats from the back of Dolls SUV.
"Doc Freaking Holliday." A gentleman in red leather pants and a grey vest approached Major Haught and Doc. "What are you doing here?" He laughed, "I guess this means you have my 10k?" He looked to the two men on his sides indicating if Doc
said no to take care of him.
"Of course, he owes him money." Dolls states.
"Whiskey Jim!" Doc says to the man. "Well now, I must say that I do not have your money per say." Whiskey Jim made a motion to the men pointing towards Doc. "Gentleman gentleman please." He holds his hands out stopping the men's approach.
"I have brought you something better, than cash." Doc says. Whiskey Jim raises a hand stopping both men in their tracks.
"Well now, what could you possibly have that would be more precious to me than cash?" Whiskey Jim asks raising an eye at Doc Holliday while spinning a ring on his finger. Doc simply turns and looks towards Major Haught. Nicole stands there
staring at Doc waiting for him to say what it was when it hits her.
"Oh Shit." Wynonna says watching the laptop.
"Doc what the hell?!" Nicole says when Doc and Nicole are following Whiskey Jim to his office. Doc smiles up at her sheepishly.
"I had to improvise. Did I not mention rule number 2: never come if your not willing to fight?"
"No you forgot to mention it." Haught says looking over at Doc. They are now in Whiskey Jims office and he is seated behind his desk.
"So tell me how this tall, hot, Amazon is better than cash." Whiskey Jim asks sipping on a glass of whiskey.
"Why, whiskey Jim," Doc said walking towards the desk and pouring himself a glass of whiskey. "I recalled you as a smarter man." He said tipping his glass to Jim and then taking a drink. "What more would these fine gentleman here want to see than
this here fiery red head going toe-to-toe in your ring?" Doc finishes off his glass, "think of the bets you would have, the money to be made." Doc sets his glass down putting both hands on Whiskey Jims desk and leaning over it, "I have brought
/you a fighter." Doc stands up and points his hat towards Haught, she shoots him an angry look before looking straight forward.
Whiskey Jim at first just stares at Doc blankly then laughs and slaps his leg. "Well now, we'll just see about that."
"This is ridiculous." Nicole says standing in front of Doc looking towards the crowd of people surrounding the makeshift ring lined with nothing more than cardboard for a mat. "I'm not a fighter." Nicole turns towards Doc talking into his hat. Nicole
/turns ago surveying the crowd. "Are they revenants or humans?" Nicole asks.
"Well now that's part of the excitement," Doc replies. "Not knowing if your stepping into the ring with a demon adds a bit of whimsyto your typical pugilistic festivities, no?"Doc
says more excited than he should be at the possible ass kicking Nicole may be about to receive.
"Dolls, you can't seriously be thinking this is ok." Waverly says from the back seat. Dolls turns and gives her a curious look.
"Major Haught will do fine." Dolls responds turning towards the laptop again.
"Well shit." Wynonna says smiling, "someone's about to get their ass kicked." She pulls a flask from her pocket and takes a swig. She looks over to see both Dolls and Waverly shooting her looks, "what?" Then offered both of them the flask, eliciting
/an eye roll from Dolls and a head shake from Waverly. She just shrugs and takes another swig.
Major Haught is walking into the ring now, she slides out of her brown leather jacket and black t-shirt . Taking a tie from her wrist she quickly throws her hair back. Her dark jeans aren't ideal for this but she adjusts in them trying to
get them to stretch. She kicks off her boots and socks and hands her stuff to Doc, "you better not lose any of this" she says as she walks back into the ring eliciting a whistle from Doc.
"Damn Major 'Hot!' indeed!" Wynonna says as everyone in the vehicle appreciates the view Doc is giving them of the red head bouncing around throwing some warm up jabs. Waverly gives her a look but Wynonna doesn't notice. Waverly almost loses
her breath at the sight though. The chiseled abs flowing down into her tight jeans. The way her body moves as she throws the punch, Waverly finds herself once again intoxicated be her view.
"-verly?!" Waverly snaps out of it as she feels the smack to her arm from Wynonna. "Pass the trail mix!" She says as if she had already asked previously. Waverly shakes herself out of it.
"Sorry." And hands Wynonna the bag.
"Geez who knew you were so into MMA" Wynonna says through a mouthful of nuts and chocolate.
"Yea." Was all Waverly could respond with.
Nicole looks over as Whiskey Jim approaches with a shit eating grin on his face. The deal to erase Doc's debt was that he could put Nicole up against a fighter of Jim's choosing. Behind Whiskey stood a tall Russian man with a scar running
down his face through his left eye. His nose looked as though it had been mangled by a pit bull and glued back together. He towered a good foot over Jim. Nicole's mouth dropped open.
"Ok now girly its best to be quick." Nicole shot Doc a look that could have killed.
"Are you freaking serious?! Look at him!" She sets her face in determination and takes a step into the ring.
Whiskey Jim approaches her and Doc. "This is Sven." Jim says slapping the giant man in the stomach which mad a sound like slapping concrete. Nicole swallowed hard. "Ok Sven, make it look real. Let her get in a few punches, blood, I want
blood." He said as he turned and left his fighter there.
Nicole looked at Doc as if to say "if I survive this I'm going to-" and then the bell rung. Doc hastily made his way to the edge of the crowd as Nicole turned the face the mammoth of a man.
The first few seconds seemed as if neither fighter could make a move they just circled the ring sizing each other up. He was quicker than Nicole had expected, his foot work seemed good.
"Geeezus already someone hit something!" Wynonna screamed at the computer. Dolls grabbed the laptop and held it away from Wynonna.
Then it happened. Sven lunged forward throwing a blow that struck Nicole straight in the chest. It happened faster than she expected. She tumbled back into the crowd who caught her and shoved her back into the ring. This time all
she saw was a giant fist coming straight for her face, she ducked quickly but could feel his finger tips brush the top of her head. She spun around him and threw a quick kick into his low back. Sven lurched forward landing on a knee. He
turned and looked at the red head over his shoulder, his eyes flashed red for only a moment, before pushing off his knee and swinging at her wildly. Nicole put up an arm to block the blow but it's force still knocked her sideways. She
quickly steadied herself and waited to see Sven's next move.
Sven stood holding his hands up ready to punch and as he did Nicole dropped low and delivered a blow to his gut. It was like punching a wall, her hand screamed in pain as she did so but Sven took a step back. Nicole made a note not to try
that again as she shook her hand out, noticing it was already purplish from the strike. Doc was right speed was going to be her ally. Sven was large, which served him well when his blows landed, however Nicole would have to be faster.
She prepared herself for the long game, let Sven tire himself before beginning her attack. That's when she noticed it. Sven's slight hitch in his gate. As he circled to the left his right leg seemed to give him pause.
Nicole knew that walk, after 3 months in the desert with limited water supply her whole company had suffered from kidney stones. Sven lunged forward again, Nicole ducked swinging around behind him delivering three quick blows to Sven's lower
right back. Her screamed out with the pain and fell to his knees. Nicole wasted no time. Now on his knees he was more Nicole's height. She circled around in front of him and quickly delivered a round house blow to his head.
He fell sideways and forward onto all fours. Nicole circled around to his side and threw a few side kicks before Sven finally caught her leg and flipped her square into her back.
"Oh no!" Squeaked Waverly causing both Wynonna and Dolls to jump. "Sorry." She said resuming her position leaning over Dolls seat watching the screen.
Nicole laid there sir a moment her back noting that card board was not a suitable mat, then quickly flip kicked up and landed on her feet. Sven was slowly trying to regain himself and was now back up on his knees. Nicole quickly rounded herself
back in front of him and just as Sven had brought on foot under himself she delivered an uppercut that sent him flying backwards. The heavy Russian landed with a thud and there he stayed. Nicole held her stance for a minute longer until
Whiskey Jim finally stood between her and Sven staring in disbelief.
"Wahhhhooooohooohooo!" Doc said flying forward and patting the red head on the back, then wiping his hand on his coat as he realized she was drenched in sweat. "Well now, Whiskey Jim, I know you are a man of fine character and would not rescind
upon an agreement made in front of all these fine folks here." Doc Holliday stretched out his hand. Jim looked angrily at Doc and then around at the crowd watching them.
"Consider your debt paid." Jim said. Then he looked over at Nicole, "well now Xena, perhaps we should talk." He said shooting her a smile.
"Perhaps we should." Nicole responded cooly. She grabbed her shirt back from Doc and slid it on. Whiskey Jim indicated that she should go first and off they headed back towards Whiskey Jims office.
"Wrap it up boys were done for the night" Jim said as he passed the two body guards. They stayed behind and began ushering out the remaining crowd.
"Well now Xena let's see whatever kind of arrangement this asshole promised you, I'll double it!" Whiskey Jim said as he walked through the door of his office. Only this time he was greeted with peacemaker to his face. Waverly quickly closed
the door behind them while Dolls slid zip tie cuffs around Whiskey Jims hands.
"Just make one noise revenant." Wynonna said cocking the hammer of peacemaker. "Give me a reason to send you back to hell right now". Wynonnas face was almost begging whiskey Jim to try something.
"Let's go." Dolls said tucking his hand up under Jims arm and dragging him out the backside they had snuck in. As they went past the door there was puddles of black blood on either side of the door where the two guards had been prior. Whiskey
Jim knew Wynonna had given them a one way ticket down south.
Waverly and Doc were both helping Nicole to the SUV, the fight had taken more out of her than she wanted to admit. Her chest was hurting and she noticed now the blood dripping from her hand, where she had busted it on Sven's chin. As they
got her inside the SUV Doc went around back to help Dolls and Wynonna load Jim into the rear compartment.
"Hey are you ok?" Waverly said as she gingerly patted Nicole's hand with her scarf she had taken off. She looked up at Nicole with worry in her eyes. Nicole just smiled down at her softly and placed her hand on top of Waverly's.
"I'm fine just a bit bruised." She said as if breathing was difficult.
"I'm gonna get you to the hospital ok?" Nicole just smiled and kissed the top of the Burnettes head.
"I'm ok. You have to help Dolls and your sister." Waverly made a face at Nicole's stubbornness but relaxed as she saw Nicole's smile. She wrapped her scarf around Nicole's hand. "Hey at least he didn't damage the face." Nicole said laughing
a little and then wincing in the pain it caused.
"You probably have some broken ribs." Dolls said from the front seat. Everyone was now piling on the SUV. "Waverly I'm going to drop you and Major Haught off at BBD headquarters. Wynonna Doc and I will take the target to the black
site." He started up the truck and off they went.
