“Oh sorry thought you were some rando from the crowd.” I casually apologize before he faces me, his arms crossing his chest.
“What are you doing here?” he asks me and I simply shrug facing back towards the illuminated ring. “Oh you know just checking out the underground scene. I heard it was popular nowadays.”
“You followed me didn’t you?”
“What!?!” I scoff “I did not. Mason did, I was just in the passenger seat.”
“Masons here too? And he left you alone. I swear i'm gonna kill the guy.” Ashter mumbles next to me, his fingers now massaging his temples.
“Sylvie!!!!” I turn towards the voice yelling my name and spot Mason pushing his way towards my location. I wave him over with a smile on my face before cupping my hands over my mouth and yelling, “I found Ashter” He makes his way to us a couple of seconds later with a concerned look in his eyes.
“Are you okay? I don't understand why you thought it was a good idea to wander off by yourself.”
“Oh my gosh will you two stop acting like i’m some helpless damsel?” I shout getting annoyed that my self defense mechanisms were being undermined. They stop and give each other a look that completely disagrees making me sock them both in the arm. They both yelp and grab their arms in unison making a smile appear on my face.
“Now that that is cleared up and we all understand that I have a mighty one hooker. Why are you here?” I ask my attention back on Ashter. Before he can answer a loud voice cuts through the room getting all of our attention.
“Ladiiiesssss and gentlemen, please welcome tonight's contestants for the main event. In this corner,“ I feel my head turn in the direction he points to, and see a man with muscles inhumanly possible and tattoos lining his arms, “welcome newcomer Grayson Tier!!!!” At the boxer's name people in the audience give out a mixture of cheers and boos and I look around in excitement the energy intoxicating.
“And in this corner we have the reigning champ, the one you all love, Jay Strongman!!!!” I look at the other side of the ring and watch as the guy takes off his robe revealing his massive figure. I feel my mouth open in shock, my eyes surely bulging out of my head. Strongman was the perfect last name for him, he was even bigger than the Grayson guy. I glance over to Strongmans opponent to see him still looking relaxed bouncing on the balls of his feet.
“Woah” I exclaim
“He looks scarier than he is.” Ashter says curtly next to me. I roll my eyes and ignore him, my eyes still on the fight watching as the referee talks to both parties. A couple of seconds later they touch gloves and move to their corners before a bell rings off and the screen hanging above their heads flashes “Round 1” The cheering gets louder almost deafening as the two move closer circling each other waiting for one to throw the first punch. The newcomer Grayson I guess was feeling lucky and he sets it off throwing a punch which Strongman easily dodges. After that he moves in and he’s no longer playing games. Punch after punch is thrown, Grayson trying to hold the defense with his hands shielding his face. He manages a punch but it's not strong enough to defer the reigning champ. They take jabs back and forth at each other before Strongman fakes a punch causing Grayson to black and allow an opening. Strongman takes and makes a devastating blow knocking Grayson out. Immediately screams and cheering fill the room and the referee gets on the ground next to Grayson to start counting. I watch in amazement moving closer to the ring. Ashter and Mason both reach out to grab my hands and as I go to tell them to let me go a loud siren cuts through the chaos.
“It’s the cops!!!” Somebody in the crowd yells. Instantly panic takes over everyones senses as they start to push through the crowd trying to find an exit to escape. Someone bumps into me causing me to get knocked to the ground and break away from Ashter and Mason. I hurriedly get up searching for either of the guys starting to get scared. Bright lights start to appear from different sides of the warehouse and the sound of dogs barking become more audible.
