After classes, we all met at the training facility. I needed to burn off some energy, especially after I saw that paper again. We were all working out hard, with everyone brushing up on their techniques. I was working out on the bag with Ryan holding it as Frazier and Jordan were sparring with us.

"So, you do not understand how he got it," Frazier asked.

"None," I replied. I landed a kick in the bag, making Ryan move.

"Did you call your parents?" Jordan asked.

I threw a punch. "Yes, but they do not understand what I'm talking about since there was one copy at the time."

"Hey, watch it," Frazier yelled at Jordan, who almost hit his face.

"Sorry, something distracted me," Jordan said.

"Gloves, not the face, this is the moneymaker," Frazier commented.

"What moneymaker?" Ryan asked, not paying attention as I landed a front foot kick, knocking him off balance.

"Don't worry about it! Worry more about your girl taking you out!" Frazier yelled at him.

"Sorry, your ugly mug distracted me, oomph," he grunted as I threw a direct hard punch into the bag.

"I see she's getting better with her control," Cole said, walking up.

"Why not test out the theory?" Jordan asked, stopping from sparring with Frazier.

"What do you have in mind?" Cole asked him.

"Take it to the ring with her. Let's see how far she has come." Jordan shrugged.

I stopped hitting the bag and looked at them. "Excuse me? You want me to go into the ring with Cole. Have you lost your mind?"

"Alex, if you can take down Ryan, you can take on Cole," Jordan answered.

"Yeah, but Ryan's surprise," I reminded him.

"Look, we won't let anything happen to you, but it's time to put to use what you learned," he told me.

I groaned, and Ryan came over, whispering in my ear, "You can do this baby, and that groan is for me."

I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "Perv."

"What do you say, Alex?" Cole asked.

I took a deep breath. "Fine, let's go."

Cole and I made our way to the ring.

Ryan whispered, "Was this a good idea?"

"She'll be fine. I taught her a few new moves. Plus, wouldn't you like to see your cousin taste the mat?" Jordan asked him.

"Well, in that case, got any popcorn?" Ryan asked him.

"Right here," Frazier handed them some bags.

"Where did you get that?" Ryan asked him.

"You never know when there will be a good fight. Always keep popcorn handy," Frazier grinned.

They both chuckled, and the girls joined them to watch Cole, and I spar in the ring.

"I'll take it easy on you," he smirked, which I, in return, threw a punch, landing directly on his nose. We heard a crack, and he started bleeding.

"Damn," the guys exclaimed.

He wiped the blood from the bottom of his nose. "Maybe not," Cole said.

I saw a punch coming at me and moved to the side, swinging around, grabbing his wrist, and twisting his arm behind his back. He broke free and did a foot sweep, knocking me off of my feet, which I swung my legs, capturing his legs in a lock, knocking him down. He rolled away as I came down with a punch. He grabbed me from behind, wrapping his muscular arms around mine, restricting my arms, and I saw Jordan nod at me.
