Dylan's POV (9 months and 2 weeks ago)

I am here. At Webb's boxing club. And there's a crazy crowd everywhere. The match has already started. My eyes look around the room to see if the guys from the other day are here.

My eyes are not on the actual boxing match but then I hear a big commotion so I avert my eyes to the players.

Two very fit guys are testing jabs and blacks on each other. The audience around me is growing restless and I can even hear some of them cat-calling. God, I hate boxing.

One of the guys is circling around his opponent and that's when I see him. Behind the player is standing the guy I saw the other day. The one who was holding the bloody bag. He's cheering on for one of the players.

I have no idea what am I gonna do now. Do I go talk to him? Or do I follow him out of here? I have developed a bad habit of following people.

I'll just wait till the match is over to think about what to do. Because by the way that guy is cheering on the player, I don't think he's going anywhere till the match is over.

***

The match is over but the guy is still there. Standing beside the player he was supporting. The player won. But the guy from that day looks happier than the player does.

The guy suddenly says something in the player's ear and the player nods. The guy gets up and starts walking towards a black door behind him.

And without thinking rationally, I get up on my feet and go behind him.

He closes the door behind him but I stay there on silent feet. I put my ear to the door to see if I can hear anything.

"Our man won" a voice speaks up. I'm guessing it's of the guy that was just outside.

"Good. Tell him the money will be given in two days" another deep voice goes on. Money? I thought this place wasn't illegal.

"The next match is in three days. Have you decided who you're gonna bet on?" another voice pops in. I feel like I'm in a criminal action movie. 

But before I can hear what his answer is gonna be, I feel a cold metal against my forehead. I widen my eyes and my heartbeat starts beating really fast. Is that a freaking gun being held on my forehead.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing here?" a rough female voice buzzes in my ear.
