Calling Dragon Squad! Urgent, my comlink blared. I unwound boxing tape on my fingers. My friend, Ian, turned to me, "Jason, you'd better get going." I nodded thoughtfully as I packed my training gear.
"I bet it's a skirmish or something relative to that," Ian's big brother, Brad, said.
"Dragon Squad does deal with skirmishes and other small fights. I intend to change that," I exclaimed. Brad cracked a smile and chuckled. I looked down at my watch. "Gosh, it's been five minutes already. I better get going!"
