To Catch A Fox

Summary: Steve Fox is on the run again from the Mafia, and this time Christie runs along side with him. Will Steve stay as a fugitive or will he fight back?

Barely escaping the Mafia, Steve walked down the streets of Tokyo, still with the hoodie over his head, covering his identity just in case he were to be spotted again. And right now, Steve doesn't want to be chase once again. At this rate, he should be joining the sprint team, if he's going to be running around a lot.

As he continued his long walk, Steve's mind wandered of to Christie. He hopes, deep down in his heart, that she is alright, and that the mafia didn't catch her. Even though she isn't involve, they could still go after her if they wanted too.

Sighing, the British boxer gazed up at the sky, he saw the sun was starting to set, and night will soon come. He needed to find a place to stay for the night; not only that, but some food to eat.

'I can't go back to the hotel, they'll be expecting me there. Plus, all my things are back at the hotel, so I don't have any money on me right now'

Upon arriving at the hotel, Christie went straight to her room and sat on her bed. She spent most of her day sitting at the park, crying about the whole situation that had happened so far. She's been thinking about Steve and wondering if he had escape the mafia.

"I hope Steve is alright," Christie quietly said, grasping the pillow tightly, around her chest. "What if they caught him? And killed him?! Oh my gosh!" Christie began crying once more. The thought of Steve getting killed, hurt her painfully.

Hearing knocking on her door, Christie wiped her tears away, and slowly walked towards the door.

"Who is it?" Christie asked the person on the other side. She hoped it was Steve.

"Its me, Christie," Julia answered on the other side.

Christie smiled a little, happy that it was one of her friends. She opened the door, letting in the Native American fighter.

"Where have you been, Christie?" Julia asked her, closing the door behind her. "You didn't make it to my match and I was wondering where was you at."

"Oh, I'm sorry Julia. I had to take care of some things. Did you win by the way?"

"Yeah, I advance to the elimination round. Are you alright Christie? You looked like you've been crying." Julia notice the puffy red eyes.

"Um...yeah I'm fine. I was just watching something on T.V that really got to me," She lied.

"Okay then. Well, did you hear that Steve dropped out of the tournament?"

Christie snapped her around, looking at Julia, eyes widened. Did she just hear what she thought heard? "Steve did what?"

"He dropped out of the tournament today. He didn't give them a reason why though," Julia explained.

'I know why...Steve dropped out because of the Mafia. Hes probably leaving Japan.'

Julia watched Christie walked passed her and out the door. "Where are you going, Christie?"

Looking back at Julia, Christie smiled. "Can you do me a favor Julia, can you tell the tournament staff members that I'm also dropping out."

"Huh? But why, Christie?" Julia asked, shocked by Christie's quick decision to drop out the tournament.

"Just...tell them that...a friend needs me."

On the other side of the city, Steve entered a hotel. With no money on him, Steve thought that maybe he could get in free...maybe. He walked up the counter, where a hotel employee was on the phone.

"Excuse me?"

The hotel receptionist put down the phone, and smiled at Steve. "May I help you sir?"

"Listen to me carefully alright. I've just been through all lot of shit the past two days, and I have no money on me. I swear, if you let me stay here for one night only...just one night...I will pay you back as soon as possible. Right now, I have nothing on me, but please let me stay here for free...for one night."

"Sorry sir, I can't let you do that. If you were a celebrity then that would be a different story."

Steve sighed. 'I guess I have no other choice.' Taking off the hood from his head, Steve revealed is identity.

"Oh my gosh...you-your...Steve...Fox!" The man was gawking when Steve took off his hood.

"Shh..." Steve put his index finger on his lips, letting the man know to be quiet. "Don't cause a scene okay. Listen to me carefully, don't let no one know that I'm here okay?"

"Right, understood Mr. Fox. Before you go, can I get your autograph."

Steve rolled his eyes and signed the guy an autograph.

Hours went by and it was night. Steve already made himself comfortable in the hotel he was staying out for one night. He stood on the balcony, his eyes glancing at the colorful streets of Tokyo. He saw flashing lights in the sky indicating that the tournament was still going. Steve wished that he was still in the tournament, but since he dropped out, he can no longer reentered until the next tournament. And who knows when that one will be.

Walking away from the balcony, Steve went back inside his room, taking off the hoodie that he burrowed from a Japanese guy.

He wanted to take a shower, but he had no clothes with him; all his belongings are back at the hotel. Tomorrow, Steve plans on going back to England to find answers about the mafia. He has a friend back home that knows everything on whats going.

A knock came from Steve's door. 'Shit, didn't I tell that guy not let no one know that I'm here' Steve approached the door cautiously, he looked through the peephole to see who it was. 'Christie'

He opened the door to see Christie standing there. "Christie, what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?" Steve asked her.

"I saw you on the balcony," She said coming in the room.

Steve shut the door behind her. "Did anyone followed you here?"

Christie shook her head. "I don't think so. But Steve, I heard you dropped out of the tournament."

"Yeah, I had to you. You know why Christie. If I stayed, I will be putting everyone in danger."

Christie took off her black flip-flops, and sat on the bed Indian style. "I figured, and thats why I dropped out too."

"What?! Why?!" Steve nearly shouted. He couldn't believe Christie would also dropped out of the tournament. She was close to the elimination round.

"Because Steve, I want to help you!"

"I told you before Christie, I don't want you involve. You can get hurt."

"I don't care Steve. Your my friend and I want to help you through this. You can't do this by yourself."

"I can't Christie."

Christie got him and hugged him. "Please Steve, I already lost important people in my life and I don't want to lose another one. Please let me come with you." Christie cried once more while gripping onto Steve's white-tee shirt.

Steve was surprised to see Christie crying in his arms. All Christie wants to do is helped him and he is just pushing her away. Growing up, Steve never had anyone to help him, so he was mostly growing up on his own. Finally he has an opportunity to for someone to help him.

Sighing, Steve gave in and hugged Christie back. "Okay, you can help me, but promise me you won't get hurt."

She looked at Steve, smiling and whipping her tears away. "Thank you, Steve. I promise I won't get hurt or let you down."

"Good, because tomorrow morning where getting up early in the morning to catch a flight to England."

Christie nodded and broke the hug between her and Steve. "Why are you going back to England for?"

"...To find answers..."

I need you

To keep me here

I'm starting over again

Lead me from the fear

And I won't leave you here

There's a way out

There's a way out

There's a way from here... believe
