       Chapter 2 - One Last Try
       Shortly after 6 PM, Danni called up to my office.
       "Everyone else is gone," she said.  "Emma's waiting for you."
       I could hear the resignation in her voice.
       "What's she doing?"
       "She's in the cage... already gloved up."
       Sh*t.
       I pinched the bridge of my nose between my thumb and forefinger.
       "OK.  I'm on my way down."
       As I approached the training area, I passed Danni in the hall.
       She gave me a sad look and a small nod, but she didn't say
       anything.
       There really wasn't anything left to talk about.
       I proceeded into the training area, letting the door click shut
       behind me.  I turned and looked out into the room.
       It looked much like it had the last time it was being used for
       extracurricular activities.  Most of the room was dark, save for
       the lights above the cage in the corner.  Emma was in there...
       off to one side... warming up with some shadow-boxing.  She was
       all in black... tight black shorts... black sports bra... black
       fingerless MMA gloves.
       Anyone with eyes could see where this was headed.
       "Well," Emma called out as she worked her muscles loose.  "Look
       who finally decided to show up."
       I stepped out into the pool of light surrounding the cage.
       "Emma," I said by way of greeting.
       "I have to admit.  You're braver than I thought you were."
       "I didn't come here to fight you."
       "Well then, you should go back upstairs and hide in your office.
       Because the training room is not for talking."
       "It's not for f*cking, either."
       OK... that probably wasn't all that helpful.
       "Why don't you shut the f*ck up and get in the cage?" she
       snarled.  She gestured at my attire.  "It's not like you don't
       know that's what we're here for."
       I was dressed basically the same as she was, the single
       exception being that my top was red in color.  The only thing I
       hadn't done was put my gloves on... carrying them in my hand,
       instead.
       I may not have wanted to fight, but I had come prepared for one.
       "It doesn't have to be this way.  I'm not sure what's going on
       with you, but I'm still willing to work it out."
       "It DOES have to be this way," she snapped.  "If you wanted to
       talk, you should have thought about that before you humiliated
       me.  With Tiffany standing right there, no less."
       As I said then, I knew my little stunt in the office was going
       to p*ss Emma off.  My plan, if you could call it that, was to
       really make her mad at me.  I had hoped she would come at me
       verbally.  I don't normally recommend screaming and yelling for
       conflict resolution, but my thinking was that any communication
       is better than none at all.
       And, my idea had worked, to some degree.  Emma was definitely
       angry.
       "You weren't talking then, either.  You were just giving me
       sh*t."
       "Sh*t you deserved.  You shouldn't have been standing there,
       watching us."
       I thought about reminding her she and Tiffany shouldn't have
       been having sex in the cage to start with.  But, we'd already
       been over that.  Besides... she had something of a point.
       I unlatched the cage door and stepped inside.  As I closed it
       behind me, I got my first real look at Emma.  It was not a
       pleasant sight.  Her eyes were hard and focused... tiny beads
       that bore into me like lasers.
       I had seen that look from her many times.  Just before she
       dropped some poor girl in the cage.
       Clearly, talking was not an option.
       I took my left glove, sliding it onto my hand and then cinching
       the wrist strap with my right.  Then the other glove... I slid
       it on, but left the strap loose as I looked over at Emma one
       last time.
       She set her stance wide and brought her gloves up in front of
       her.
       "I'm SO gonna enjoy this," she hissed.
       I took the dangling strap between my teeth, pulling it tight
       before I hooked it in place.  I set my feet and brought my guard
       up.
       I was down to my last option.

       Oh, shit! Emma's out for blood. Hell hath no fury like a woman
       scorned. This is going to be intense. Good luck, Richelle! ;)
       Loving your work, by the way. As ever. :)

       Yeah, I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew, this
       time around.  :o
       BTW, I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of your
       Dragonettes story.  I tried to open it a few minutes ago, but
       the content filter on my office network blocked it.  It said the
       content was Obscene/Tasteless.
       Talk about a critical review. :P
