Vangester looked up as Smint entered his office. “Any luck?”

“No. Not a chance in Hell. Davis completely burned any chances of your ever getting him back. Do you know a big guy showed up at Gettnor’s house and threatened him if he didn’t go back to work for you? Who does that sound like?”

Vangester grimaced, “Davis!” He said it like it was an expletive. “Goddammit!”

Vaz climbed the stairs from the basement to go to Dante’s meet. When he opened the door, Lisanne got up off the couch and picked up her purse. He looked at her warily.

She smiled, “I thought I’d go to the meet with you.”

“I thought you didn’t like wrestling.”

“I don’t. But I love my family. This way I get to go with one of them, to watch another and get ulcers about whether or not he’s going to get hurt.”

“Are you going to badger me…?”

Lisanne quirked the corner of her mouth. “No. I’d like to, but I promise I’ll leave you alone.”

“OK.”

At the meet, Vaz found himself comparing the wrestling moves he saw to the things he’d been learning at Mike’s. Though he thought that some of the things he’d learned would certainly help win matches, he wasn’t sure how many of the things he’d recently learned would be legal moves in wrestling. It felt odd to him to be watching a sport that only had grappling, no striking allowed.

He thought to himself that wrestling wouldn’t be nearly as satisfying to him. When he fought, the opportunity to actually hit someone provided a huge release.

If only he could find an opponent that he could hit more than once or twice.

Then Dante came out into the ring. Vaz leaned forward in excitement; Lisanne gripped Vaz’s hand and gave a little shudder. Dante aggressively shot a takedown but his opponent successfully sprawled and despite valiant efforts Dante couldn’t take him down. The first period looked like a draw to Vaz. In the second period Dante started in the down position. He exploded out of the defensive position, scoring points for that, and then surprised his opponent with a sudden takedown. Vaz rose to his feet in excitement. Lisanne said, “Is he winning?”

Dante shrugged and said excitedly, “I think so.” Then Dante’s opponent tried an escape that Dante appeared to have anticipated. He caught him mid move and suddenly pinned him.

The ref stood them up and raised a grinning Dante’s hand. With a tone of wonderment, Lisanne said, “He won?”

Vaz nodded cheerfully, “He won.”

Lisanne clapped her hands and stamped her foot enthusiastically. She hugged Vaz. “I’m glad I came. I thought I’d hate it, but it’s really pretty exciting… Well, I guess it is, as long as he wins… and doesn’t get hurt.”
