Four

Jane reached the stage and two large wrestler closed in on her from both sides. They held their hands up, motioning that she should not approach.

But Jack knew Jane Gannon, and he knew that wouldn't stop her–not in Chinatown, not in an arena full of hostile men, not even after she'd just seen two people killed.

She called up to the man wearing the white suit, and the discussion on the stage stopped. Four old men with long white beards looked down at her from ornate wooden chairs. Above their heads hung a series of ancient engravings: beautiful arrangements of waves, mountains, and clouds.

The guy she'd spoken to in the front seat of the Mercedes froze, then looked to the man in the suit. The man in the suit nodded once, and the two bouncers took Jane by the arms and lifted her up onto the stage. She bowed smoothly. The man with the suit turned to lead her out a back way.

But when Jack reached the bouncers, they blocked his way. "Jane," he called out. Above him, her legs looked even more beautiful in the tight dress. "How about–"

She looked back once, and one of the elderly men nodded. The bouncers stepped away, leaving Jack to climb up.

He hopped up with his hands on the rise, then threw a leg up and clambered to his knees. Jane was gone. He swept dust off his pants as he stood, and took a last look out at the crowd. Everyone was still milling and talking. The next fight wouldn't start any time soon.
