move. He wanted to run away and hide from Cassandra and everyone else that had believed in him. He felt ashamed. He felt pathetic for letting Benjamin knock him out in the first round.
Cassandra, however, was proud of him. He hadn’t won the fight, but he had composed himself in a dignified manner and had stood up to a man much bigger than him. In retrospect, Vincent did very well.
Eventually, Vincent found the strength to move. He sat up and looked at Cassandra. Tears formed in the corner of his eyes that he quickly wiped away before taking off his boxing gloves in frustration.
“Cassandra… I’m sorry…” He whispered, his eyes downcast. He refused to look at her as he looked down at the blood stain on the ring.
“Hey… don’t apologize! You did really well!” She said, trying to cheer him up. His frown only deepened.
“I was knocked out in the first round, Cassandra. The first round. That’s pathetic.” He said, spite in his voice. He hated how weak he was. He hated how he was unable to live up to his brother’s legacy. He felt like he was letting everyone down.
In frustration, he got up, wincing in pain. Cassandra, still sitting down, looked up at him with large eyes. She wondered what he was doing. Before she could react he was walking out of the ring. Somehow, he managed the energy needed to run out of the ring. He needed to be alone. Cassandra frowned as she watched the doors swing behind him.
Cassandra was about to get up and follow her boyfriend when someone suddenly grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream out, but there was a large hand covering her mouth. She tried to scream and struggle, but the man who grabbed her was too strong. Suddenly she felt him apply pressure to one of her pressure points. As he did, everything went black.

Vincent looked out at the dark water as the waves crashed against the rocky shore. No one came to this abandoned bridge and it felt good to be alone as the wind stung his face. He looked down at the dark water and imagined what it would be like to jump and allow the water to come over him, to swallow him whole.
Before he could continue to think about it his cell phone started to buzz in his pocket. He sighed before taking it out, looking at the screen. There was an unknown number staring at him. He scrunched his face before answering. He wondered who it could be.
“Hello?”
“Vincent.” There was a rough voice sounding through the line. Vincent’s eyes grew big as he recognized Benjamin’s voice. What did he want? “I think I have something you might want back.” Vincent looked confused. What did he mean?
“Benjamin, what the hell are you talking about?”
“I have Cassandra.” Vincent’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he thought about the meaning behind Benjamin’s words.
“What do you mean? What are you going to do with her?” Vincent said through strained teeth.
“Nothing… if you meet me at the abandoned RadioX warehouse downtown. Come within the hour and I promise I won’t lay a finger on her… maybe.” Vincent could almost see the smirk on Benjamin’s face. He felt sick to his stomach as he thought of Cassandra stuck with him.
“I will be there. Don’t you dare touch her.” With his blood boiling, Vincent quickly got into his car before speeding off toward the destination. As he pushed the limits of his car he thought about Cassandra. He couldn’t let her get hurt.
In what felt like forever, he finally arrived at the warehouse. He got out quickly, before entering through a rickety door on the left. He looked around trying to spot Cassandra but saw nothing. Sighing, he climbed a flight of stairs. The stairway was dark and grimy. Finally, he made his way to the top. The door, however, was
