They drove up to the nightclub in Liam’s silver Porsche and there was a small crowd of people standing outside when they arrived and parked in the lot out back.

The people didn’t at all look dressed for dancing. They looked more dressed for a grunge rock show or something—all jeans, tattoos, piercings. Mostly young men, but not the type of guys that she’d have imagined Liam hanging out with.

And the way they’d all stared when he drove up in his Porsche, she didn’t think that these folks were very used to seeing people like Liam, either.

“What’s going on here?” she asked, as he shut the engine off.

The car fell silent. Liam glanced at her and checked the time on his phone. “It’s a surprise,” he said.

“No more surprises,” she said, shaking her head. “I’m not going into that creepy nightclub with those weirdoes standing out front unless I get an explanation.”

He looked at her. “I manage a fighter,” he said. “And we’re putting on a fight in that nightclub.”

“Bullshit.”

“I’m dead serious.” He stared at her calmly. “Now I’m running late and I have to get inside. They’re letting the crowd in and they don’t waste any time getting down to business.”

“Is this even legal?”

“I told you what’s going on in there. Now it’s your choice to come inside or not—but I can’t sit in the car debating the legalities of underground fighting.” He opened the driver’s side door and stepped out.

Grace knew she was going in with him. As crazy as it was, she didn’t want to be left—didn’t want to end their time together, even if she was scared of what she’d see inside this nightclub.

So she followed him, yet again, into another unknown and highly suspect situation.

They went in through the back door of the club. Liam called someone and announced he’d arrived, and then the back door was opening and a large man with a shaved head was letting them inside.

They went down a flight of stairs and came to a large, cavernous space with a bit of overhead lighting and an empty bar. There were maybe a dozen people in the room, and more were filtering in through a separate entrance. A man at the entryway was collecting money and stamping hands.

“Where do they fight?” Grace asked him, looking around.

“Wherever the fight goes,” he said.

“There’s no ring or…cage or whatever?”

“That’s the beauty of underground fighting,” he said, clearly pleased with the arrangement.

Moments later, a large young guy with a pink mohawk and tattoos covering almost every square inch of his body, approached them. “Finally got here, I see,” he said to Liam, and then his gaze moved to Grace.

“This is my friend Grace,” Liam told him. “She’s cool.”

“Oh, yeah? You a fighter too?” the guy asked her.

She laughed, and then saw he wasn’t joking.

“Oh, of course not—I mean, no. Not yet, anyway.” She smiled but he just raised his eyebrows and then turned his attention back to Liam.

“The other guys are coming in and they’re rolling deep and talking mad shit,” mohawk said.
