Janelle POV...
I just stare at the man who's been running my underground fights.
Me:What do you mean you're being fired? This is an underground ring! How do you get fired!
Jamie:I'm sorry Jen, things just haven't been going right, the one hundred has been keeping us running with the cops going crazy things have to fixed to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Me:So who's gonna be doing fights?
Jamie:*sighs* A guy named Sylens.
Me:Silence? As in hush?
Jamie:Nah, it's spelt differently like camera lens. Then a SY in the front.
Me:I don't give a damn about how his name is spelled. Is he gonna do the right fights. You know I can't -
Jamie:Yeah, yeah I know you can't be known as a killer in these streets. Look, I'll try my best with the man. Alright? But I just thought my best fighter should know what's up.
Me:Yeah, good looking, I really appreciate it no matter how messed up it is, is he atleast black?
Jamie:Now you already know the answer to that.
Me:At least that's a plus.
Jamie:Tell me about it. He'll get in contact with you when he wants to meet.
Me:Alright. See you Jamie, thanks for some good fights man.
Jamie:No problem killa.
I mug him and he laughs and I shake my head walking out. I pull my phone out and look at the missed call from Khalil, before calling back.
Me:Hello?
Khalil:Where you at?
Me:I just came from seeing Jamie, what's up?
Khalil:You still over there?
Me:Yeah, you coming to pick me up?
Khalil:Yeah, be there in 3 minutes... Go back inside until you see me.
Me:Khalil I'll be-
Khalil:Janelle.
Me:Fine.
I hang up and turn around walking back into the building and looking out at the street. I see a man walking towards me and I prepare myself for whatever could happen. Once he opens the door he looks down at me and smiles and I frown raising my eyebrow.
Me:Can I help you?
Man:You're Janelle right?
Me:*Confused* Yeah why?
Man:*chuckles* I'm Sylens, I'll be running fights from now on. It's nice to meet our best fighter. Jamie was just telling me how to pair you and other people if I wanted this place to continue to succeed.
Me:Yeah, good to know.
Man:Are you waiting for the bus? I can drop you off quickly it's not a problem.
Weird ass man.
Me:Nah, I'm good my boyfriend is on his way to pick me up. Thanks tho.
Sylens:I can wait with you. Fighter or not I couldn't just let you wait out here alone.
Just then Khalil swerves in with the truck and I smile at him and wave.
