For the Fight Ch.8
By RC

Chin held his nose and surpressed the sudden urge to shoot Ryu in the kneecaps.

"Son of a..." he murmured as he gingerly touched the bridge of his nose.

Chin passed the front desk where a woman sat flanked by two gaurds. Chin flashed his temporary Interpol badge and the woman nodded at him. He proceeded past the desk towards the elevatore with Ryu following behind. Chin punched the "up" button and the doors opened. He stepped inside the elevator and hit the top floor. The door started to close on Ryu and he snaped out a side-kick. Chin winced at the loud impact and noticed the woman at the desk pointing at his charge.

"Great..." Chin said to himself.

Chin saw a gaurd walk toward Ryu and rolled his eyes. Chin grabbed Ryu who was staring at the now dented and still elevator door and yanked him inside. Chin punched the top floor and the elevator door noisily slid shut.

"What the h*ll was that for?" Chin asked as he lightly slapped Ryu in the back of the head.

Ryu shrugged saying, "It was going to close on me."

Chin sighed in frustration and replied, "It would have slid back as soon as it touched you, you moron."

Chin glared at Ryu, but his attention was focused on the button pannel in front of him. Chin looked at the pannel wondering what was so interesting.

"What's so facinating?" Chin asked.

Ryu looked up and pointed at the floor 15 button. "It says there's a gym on the fifteenth floor." he said as he lowered his hand.

"Oh yeah, you like to train a lot. Well, that's for the Interpol personel and I don't know if you're allowed in there seeing as how you don't work for Interpol."

"Uh huh..."

"Anuway," Chin said as he straightened his suit. "We're here to find out what they want from you, not to go lift weights and fight with machines."

"Fight..?" Ryu asked as his eyes lit up.

"Yeah, they got some sort of robot in there that you can spar with or smething." Chin said as he tried to smooth out his wrinkled tie.

Ryu pondered that as the elevator reached the top floor. It opened to reveal a huge room with an enormous window and a large black wooden desk in front of it. In the center of the room was a long black table with leather chairs all around it. There were many people sitting around the table and one tall man standing at the opposite end of the long table.

All of them looked up as the door "screeched" open. The man at the end of the table smile suddenly and sat back at the head of the table.

"Well Ryu, here we are."
