SUMMARY

SETTING: MARCH 7, 2023 ; NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, USA

TIME: 3:30 PM EST

SIMON HIU
I'm back in Chinatown in New York. I have some business to attend to just to take care of living arrangements, making sure that actually living in another country, I can still own and tend to property here. After getting some of the paperwork in, I decide I need to destress, so I head to the Chinatown Community Center gym to work out and spar. As I'm in the middle of bo staff sparring, I notice this familiar face I had come across a few times during my travels all over Europe back when I was training three years ago. It's Ben! Even though we didn't get to talk much, I remembered I connected with him three years ago because I was also a traveler. I exit the sparring venue and approach you, handing the staff to one of my friends I was sparring with. "Hey Ben! Long time no see. You knew me as Jackson back then," I say in a clear voice as I approach you.

DRIFTERBOY
I am new to the city but as a Drifter I have found myself here. I have been moved away from the center of the city and found myself in the unfamiliar area of Chinatown. I am looking for a low price apartment to stay... I end up in the community gym as the only white face here and so need to look as tough as I can here. I feel tired but will not let it show. I see you coming towards me and try and remember the face a guy who travels a lot sees a lot of faces. The face is very familiar to me and hear you just above the sound of punch bags being pounded echoing around the place and I reply "yes I remember you now!" I smile "good to see you again!" I stand back to look at you.

SIMON HIU
We meet and shake hands. "The name is Simon now haha," I chuckle out, then continue "It's great to see you again! What brings you to Chinatown?" I ask while giving you a warm smile.

DRIFTERBOY
"I am a Drifter and the upper part of the city is way too expensive and they don't like guys like me there. I don't have the time to beat them all down," I laugh, "But how are you Simon?"

SIMON HIU
"Haha I get you man," I laugh with you. "I'm doing pretty good! I am finally making my way into the pro wrestling world. I was actually here to take care of some... real estate, so to speak. How are you Ben? Looking for a place to stay?" I ask you.

DRIFTERBOY
"Yes I am, for a short while till I move on again!" I say "Somewhere simple and basic for a guy like me," I show you my ruck sack "I am very basic!"

SIMON HIU
"Yes, you are," I chuckle. "Well, I think you might be in luck actually. The "real estate" I'm doing is about the apartment I own here. You can use that property if you want man, I'll just clear it with the landlord... But, I have a little fun proposition for you," I say with a leading tone.

DRIFTERBOY
I see in your eyes and in your voice something like a sales man. You are looking over at me and noticing the quality of my clothes and how almost like old rags they look. I cannot hide my poverty even in a tough gym like this. I know this will involve risk and cautiously I ask "Ok man what is it you have in mind?"

SIMON HIU
"Come with me." I say as I lead you to these elevators to the east side of the gym. I press the down button to take us to the basement. As we get there I turn on the lights of the locker room, and then I take us through the doors of the locker room to this decently sized arena that has three rows of seats that almost circle the wrestling ring in the center. As we enter, the lights pop on. "Have a match with me. Here. Tonight. We never did get to fight each other three years ago. What do you say man?" I ask you while looking out at the ring and for now, empty stadium.

DRIFTERBOY
When you take me to the elevator I suspect that you may be the owner of this place as you take me down to the basement or at least a partner in this business. You take me over to this place and I look around "With respect Simon" I say "I fight to survive and pay the bills but you guys fight for fun" I look around this dark place and can even sense the fear other guys must have had fighting in this place "Three years ago I was a different guy Simon."

SIMON HIU
"I was a different guy back then too. But I think we might be able to learn something about ourselves if we clash. What do you think Ben? After I'll happily show you to the apartment," I say trying to increase your interest. "Plus, fighting here, you'd get paid very well. We take care of each other here," I say smiling at you. Then I see some hesitation behind your eyes and decide you need further incentive. I lead you back to the elevators, "alright old friend, come with me." We take the elevators back up to the fitness center, stop by my sling bag and I take a set of keys out from the bag and then slap the bag on my back. I then lead you to the lobby elevators and take you up to the apartment in question. I open the door to the apartment and take us in and turn on the lights, beginning to show you around. "Perhaps you need some... incentive," I chuckle out.

DRIFTERBOY
The apartment looks great! like something from a different part of the city as if it was from the center of New York. The window is large and over looks the street with a great view of the city. You tell me the rent and I think "no way!" this is too cheap for a luxurious place like this. I know this to be a bribe in disguise. I smile back at you.

SIMON HIU
"Welcome to where I used to live my friend," I say giving you a little tour of the apartment. I see your expression widen at the view. "This can be yours for however long you need it... But what do you say, now that you've seen it... Fight me for it?" I ask you. "I'll make sure you are well taken care of dude," I say to you sincerely.

DRIFTERBOY
"Why me?" I turn from the window to ask you "You have other fighters. I have seen them in the gym are you trying to make a come back in fighting?" I wait for your answer as I go back to looking at the view from the window.

SIMON HIU
I see you walk towards the window to gaze out, and then you turn back at me, asking "why [you]" in a subtly doubting tone. I smile softly; I recognize that tone all too well; it's why I started traveling to train all those years ago. "You fight to survive. I recognize that. I can even resonate with that. It's why I traveled to train all those years ago. It felt like I was in survival mode. That's how we met," I say putting my left hand on your right shoulder. "When you fight for survival.. you get it... It's about living, and I admire that. Sure, there are other guys, but now that I see you here, there's no one else but you that I want to face, to fight. I think if we fight each other tonight, you'll see what I really mean," I say walking up beside you, looking up at you before gazing out the window again.

DRIFTERBOY
"I was an underground fighter! " I say "I fought for a bed for the night and a good meal at the end. I still do that now but you have moved on, you have this business and no doubt others too. You can't go back...." suddenly I think I realise "You train guys to fight!" I say "If you can knock me down you get respect from your trainees."

SIMON HIU
"Look Ben, I understand the underground fighter mentality. I started there. And actually, I don't run the place here.. I don't even have official students and trainees. I was just sparring with my buddies earlier," I chuckle out. "I'm a traveling fighter, might be a different side but still the same coin as you. So what do you say my friend? Fight me, and the apartment is yours. You've traveled and fought. Fought for a place to stay for just a night. Here, when we fight, there's more to it than that. Now, the only thing that's changed is that instead of traveling to train, I'm traveling to fight. I know you won't be here for long, but if you fight me, this place is yours. So let's clash Ben, tonight, in the stadium. Some things can be communicated better through a clash rather than through words... I think," I say trying to persuade you.

DRIFTERBOY
"I never turn down a fight man and you know it. I cannot afford to show weakness" I say then turn back to you and go on "Yes I will take you on Simon! I will demolish you! " I walk away from the window and ask "Where is the remote for this big TV on the wall?"

SIMON HIU
"Hah, thank you for taking me up on the challenge, and I like your spirit man. It seems that has only gotten stronger since three years ago." I head to the rear left side of the TV, and demount the remote from it, "Here you are my friend. And thanks again for agreeing to fight me. Enjoy yourself here, I'll head back down to the Community Center to get all the details ready for tonight." I look at the clock and see it reads 4:15 PM EST. "How does 7pm tonight sound man?" I say as I make my way to the front door.

DRIFTERBOY
I just nod and pause for a moment as I switch on the TV "get ready to be hurt badly man!" say and before you can answer I turn the TV to full volume and sit back in the chair to block you out.

SIMON HIU
I chuckle and shake my head a bit and take that as an assurance as I head out the door and to the Community Center. One of the perks of this apartment is that it is literally on top of the Community Center, so I take the elevator down to the Fitness area of the Community Center, and talk with the General Manager to reserve the underground stadium for 7pm tonight, that we need a ref, and it'll be a pro wrestling match with a steel cage, with a pinfall taken out of the victory options. As soon as I have all the details, I go back to the sparring room, take my bag where I left it, and then head to the East Elevator to get to the locker room and put my stuff in a locker. I take a biometric lock from my pocket and secure the locker before heading up to the lobby of the Community Center.

I ask for the phone so I can buzz into my room to update you. You hear a buzz on the wall, and then a slight chime, followed by my voice. "Hey Ben! Hope you're enjoying the place so far. All the details are set. Our fight will take place in the basement stadium of the Community Center tonight at 7pm. Don't be late," I say with a teasing tone. And with that I head out and take a walk around Chinatown into the park area until it is near to the time.

TIME: 6:30 PM EST

SIMON HIU
I look at my watch and see the clock hit 6:30. Half an hour before the match begins. I make my way back to the Community Center and straight to the Fitness Center, and breeze right to the East Elevator to head down to the locker room to change into my gear, wondering if you're still up at the apartment or down in the locker room now.

DRIFTERBOY
I open my ruck sack out on the bed and I find my grey shorts that I had from my last fight. Little more than old rags, but that is how I fight and how you want me to fight. I take the curtain rope from the window to wrap and tie around my waist to keep my shorts up. I tie the knot tight and stand back to look in the wardrobe mirror. I know I am tough!

SIMON HIU
As I make my way to my locker and begin changing, I hear the elevator lock in at the entrance to the locker room. I slip off my gray tank top and black sweatpants and put them in the locker, and then slip on my white, Dynasty brand, "Technique/Everything" MMA-grappling shorts, ankle support socks, these thin styled knee-support pads, and then white, thin style gloves. After, I slip on my signature black sneakers with a white top and white laces. As soon as I finish changing, I see you enter my view. I close and lock the locker and then turn my attention back to you. "Hey man, you ready?" I say while stretching.

DRIFTERBOY
I pretend not to see you for a moment but then have to comment as I make my way to side stairs up to the gym. "You look very expensive man!" I say and turn to walk to the steps and suddenly a pair of red gloves are slammed into my hands by one of your guys. I catch and grip hard as I go up the steps.

SIMON HIU
"Hey hey bros, keep it cool!" I shout to one of them to reprimand them. "Sorry about that Ben... they can be pretty rough-and-tough outside of a fight setting, but they have good intentions," I chuckle over to you. I then process your comment, "hah, thanks, yeah I grabbed the gear I have with me today on my return travels back to the western side... You don't have to use the gloves that the locals are teasing you with if you don't want to bro," I chuckle to keep the mood light. Suddenly, I hear a chime over the comms. It's near my time to enter.

TIME: 6:55 PM EST

SIMON HIU
"Alright Ben, let's give it our all. See you on the other side," I say to you as I line myself up at the exit of the locker-room that leads to the arena. "INTRODUCING FIRST..." I hear, and the lights in the locker room dim and the doors open up. I head out calmly. "HE IS THE GUARDIAN OF CHINATOWN, COMING IN AT 5'8", 167 LBS, SIMON HIU!!!" And my entrance music fades in, Born To Be A Fighter by Naimah. As I enter, I put my hands in the prayer position and do a slight bow. Ahead of me I see some steel steps that go up to the ring. The ropes were taken down and what replaces them is a steel cage with a door at the top of the steps. I make my way to the arena, shake hands with some of the spectators, and head up the steps and open the door and enter the caged ring. From the ring, I wave to the spectators and do another slight bow with hands in the prayer position and then pace lightly around the ring waiting for you.

DRIFTERBOY
I look up from the top of the steps to this cage come down into the ring. I hate this "theater" fighting, I am old style. I see you have become ostentatious as you have become wealthier.... I keep on climbing the step only to have to raise an arm to my face as the bright lights hit down on me.... I walk on and wait outside the cage to be called in as I look around. I am not as "flashy" as you are.

"AND HIS OPPONENT, A TRAVELING FIGHTER LIKE NONE OTHER, COMING IN AT 5'9" 165 LBS, BEN THE DRIFTERBOY!!!"

SIMON HIU
The announcer introduces you and gestures you to come into the cage. As you enter, the ref has us meet in the center and reviews the rules with us. As we nod, the announcer continues, "THIS MATCH WILL BE A STEEL CAGE PRO MATCH FOR THE HOTSHOTS FEDERATION, ONE FALL BY SUBMISSION OR KO!" The ref has us tap our fists together and then distance ourselves a bit. The ref yells, "Get ready... BEGIN!" and the bell rings. I begin cautiously approaching and circling you, analyzing your body for any slight movement, seeing if you will initiate an offense.

DRIFTERBOY
I step back after the sound of the ref. I jump around and watch you sharply as I get my gloves up. I am more used to bare fisted fighting in the back streets or the underground. I am adjusting to the weight of the gloves as I swing my arms up whilst I almost dance back.... You circle me as I go back the other way forcing you to go back with me. I have my gloved fists up ready now.

SIMON HIU
I see you withdraw as I slowly advance forward. Smart. And from here I can tell you are not new to fighting at all. I have to play my chips right. As soon as I circle to my right, I go in for a fake grab to your left hand with my right hand but then force myself forward to weasel and break your guard by putting my right forearm under your arms and push upwards. As I push your arms up, I go to send a left uppercut into your naval and then swoop to your right and grab hold of your right arm, my left hand pressing against your right shoulder and my right hand gripping your right wrist. I then go to attempt to swing you around and then finish to push you out and away from me with a pushing kick to your lower back, keeping my eyes on you to see what your next moves will be.

DRIFTERBOY
You attack me hard and fast! as the kick goes into my lower back I dip down, almost going to my knees with the pain in my lower back, but I bend back up and with both fists together I lift my arms. I slam down my left elbow deep into your shoulder and stagger back. I keep my left arm up to protect my face and upper body and throw down my right fist into your upper abs and use the impact of the blow to get me back far enough to slam up my left knee into your abs.

SIMON HIU
After the kick, you rebound just as quick. Your elbow hits my right shoulder and I move in accordance with the strike to avoid too much damage. You then use your left arm as a guard for your upper body and face and go to drive your fist into my upper abs. I flex my abs to withstand the blow but also use the force to move me back enough so that your left knee would only graze my abs but be within reach. As your knee gets in closer, I use my hands to block your knee and immediately follow with coiling my arms around your left leg to lock you in place and then I send my left leg in a counterclockwise motion to sweep you off your right while pushing you down with my left arm extending out to push your chest to complete the motion of getting you down on the ground. After I decide to hop back a couple paces away to put some distance between us while keeping a watchful eye on you to continue analyzing your movements, "BRING IT BEN!" I taunt.

DRIFTERBOY
You take the knee to the abs well even looking back at me with confidence. My leg is grabbed and your arms coiled around it tight! You sweep and get me down on the floor after you pushed my chest way back and throw me over by my leg. I crash down onto the canvas rolling along to ease the fall and get back up after the second turn. You are already standing back taunting me but watching me too as I get up with my fists back up at face level. I stagger at first but then I move around you circling you looking for an opening to slam my fist into your side.

SIMON HIU
I see you get back up and begin to circle me. I only flash a smirk at you before mirroring your movements, but keeping my arms to my side. As you move in to slam your right fist into my left side, instead of moving away I move towards your fist to throw you off your game, moving my left palm out to catch your right wrist. I then cup your right bicep with my right hand before twisting myself behind you while wrenching your arm into a hammerlock behind your back! As soon as I get behind your back I take my left hand to control your right arm to lace your right arm around your neck, send a few punches into your right side with my right fist, and then use my right hand to grab your left arm and lace your left arm around your neck to trap you in this straightjacket choke. Before giving you an opportunity to counter, I slide off my feet to slam you down onto your back while you choke yourself with your own arms. I then weasel my lower body down and lock your torso in a bodyscissor!

DRIFTERBOY
As I slam my right fist into your side ready to leap back my feet well out I land it but you intended to take it, and right away you have twisted your body back and got your arm down and I feel you grasp my wrist like snake would bite its prey. My legs pull back but too late and my arm is up my back twisted high! You pull me around again as you punch into my side and then turn my arm around, my right arm choking me as you pull it back, then pow! pow! pow!

Three rapid hits in my side forcing me to lean to the other side as my ribs go up. You now have me and both my arms around my neck, wrenching it back to make me choke myself, only to then get thrown down hard to the canvas.. I automatically roll over not aware you have gone down with me. You catch me from rolling in between your legs my torso between your thighs crushing hard and deep into my waist! I rock side to side as the pressure like a vice works on my body. I press my arms down hard on your thighs as I strain to push myself up. My knees bend as my feet go flat on the canvas to push me up and ease the pressure.

SIMON HIU
I see you try to ease the pressure of the bodyscissor, trying anything even pressing your arms down on my thighs and bending your knees to arch your body up. I give your body a tight squeeze in a pulse to get your legs to collapse again, then I take your left wrist with my right hand re-apply a now half straightjacket choke to combine WITH the bodyscissors! Now you're choking yourself while I crush your torso in the bodyscissors. I lean in and whisper, "you wanna give yet?" and when ending the sentence I put in a subtle tone of promise that if you don't submit, this can be further modified to increase the fatality of this hold.

DRIFTERBOY
The slow crushing gets tighter and tighter my chest goes up high and out as the pressure slides my upper body up more. I breath in small gasps my navel moving up and down above your hard thighs . I lean back as you lean in. I raise my right arm but not fast enough and playfully you grab it and pull my arm back choking me again. I shake my head as you make your offer and the sweat flies from my hair. I lift my left hand from your thighs and I try and pull back my right arm then reach further back to grab your hand. I have to stretch myself a lot to do this and my ribs are high up on my body so narrow now.

SIMON HIU
I see you try to reach high and stretch a lot to try to pull your right arm from my grip. To increase the pressure of the bodyscissor and reset your body, I arch up my hip to press into the middle of your back. I take a risk and very briefly loosen the scissors on your left side, take my right hand to switch my left to grip your right arm while I use my left to shove your arm down to your side and then wrap my legs around your torso again, trapping your left arm in between them now so now I'm squeezing your arm into your side with my legs. I then lace my right arm up and under your right pit to initiate a half-nelson, while my left hand grips onto your right wrist again, transitioning the straightjacket choke into a cobra clutch combined with an arm-trapped bodyscissor. "Cmon man, you're done. Give!" I whisper with a solid tone.

DRIFTERBOY
You lean back arching up to give my body one long, hard, brutal crush on my middle body. "oh shit!" as my whole upper body shakes. I feel my left arm slide down as you loosen your legs just a little to then feel it suddenly pulled far back and and your smooth hard thighs lock it in with the muscles stretched and bent back in that arm "aaaaagggghhhh!" I gasp out as I am forced to turn with your legs as they continue to squeeze.. I am well trapped now! my right arm pulled back again and more this time. The pain is alarming now I hear you casually whisper to me and I growl as I choke.

SIMON HIU
I steadily increase the pressure of the entire thing: with my right arm locking around yours in a half nelson, my right hand presses your neck from the back into your arm. At the same time as I press your neck in, I pull your right arm from your wrist in with my left hand pulling on it, all the while I steadily crush your torso and left arm with my legs bit by bit. "C'mon Ben, submit before you drift off," I tease while making everything tighter and tighter. I slowly shift my gaze to the ref, "Ask him ref!" I say with a booming tone.

DRIFTERBOY
My right arm is bent back more and more! My legs are out shaking in big spasms showing the pain I am in. Your thighs are terminally strong! my body is wet with sweat. I look up at the ref as he crouches down at our side he shakes his head as I shake mine and then gets back up to his feet again to walk around us. My heart is pounding in my chest and fast.

SIMON HIU
"Fine. Have it your way Ben," I say as I see you weakly shake your head to deny giving in. Increasing the pace this time, I continue to press your head and neck into your own arm as I pull your right arm further back, so the gap between your neck and your own arm continues to decrease, choking you more and more, diminishing your ability to breathe. At the same time, I continue to increase the pressure of the arm-trapped bodyscissor. "If you don't want to submit, then I'll have to put you out," I grumble coldly.

DRIFTERBOY
I open my mouth to speak but I stay silent. I take a long moment to try and get some breath and I then say "I give... Simon!" the pain in my arm pulls hard again and I yell out.

SIMON HIU
As I almost hypnotically continue to wrench your arm around and into your neck and squeeze you with the bodyscissors, I hear you in a gasping scream offer your submission. It snaps me awake in a way and at the same time the ref slaps on my right shoulder to get me to release the hold. I shake my head and release you from the hold gently, starting with releasing the pressure of the bodyscissors and the grip on your right arm from my left hand, opening my left hand to free your right arm. I then undo the half nelson and place my hands under both your shoulders to ease you down onto the canvas. The ref quickly escorts me up to raise my arm.

"AND YOUR WINNER, BY SUBMISSION, SIMON HIU!!!" I hear the applause at full volume once again as my Victory Theme plays, Kung Fu by Apashe. I take a moment to pace around the ring before approaching your body slowly. I bend down and offer my right hand to you to help you up.

DRIFTERBOY
I roll over and look up at you as the ref lifts up your arm. I am humiliated but so relieved that this pain has stopped! You reach down and pull me up at a 45 degree angle to my feet again . I fall into your arms and then stagger back and gasp for breath after breath.

SIMON HIU
"Woah, steady..." I say as I catch you and then hold you out with my right hand on your left shoulder, my left hand on your right shoulder. "You did good my friend," I say with an affirming tone and nod at you. My three friends who were watching the match open the doors to the cage and rush in. One of them actually goes to your right side as I go to your left and we raise your arms up. We both point at you signifying the great fighter you are too. I nod to them so that they exit the ring. I look to you, "let's say we get you cleaned up, hm? After, I'll give you the keys to the apartment and you can really start to enjoy it," I grin at you, putting your right arm around my neck and begin guiding us out of the caged ring and back to the locker rooms.

DRIFTERBOY
You and one of your friends is holding me up by my arms as I hang from them. I am then guided away by you as most of the crowd make their way to the bar or hot dog stand before the next match. I am walked away back down the stairs and I hear the announcement for the next match from above. I am gently sat back down on the bench in the locker room with my legs wide open and my back against the cold wall as I keep gasping for breath.

SIMON HIU
As we get to the locker room, I sit you down on the bench that borders a wall so you can lean on the wall for support. I hear you gasping. As soon as I think it, I head to one of the small refrigerators that are at the ends of the lockers, and reach in to get a bottle of water. I head towards you and hand it to you, "I hope that wasn't TOO rough on you bud, now drink up," I say with a steady and soothing tone, sitting myself next to you on your right.

DRIFTERBOY
I gulp down the water as I lean back against the wall "I can take it!" I say as I wipe my mouth and turn to you. After the water the sweat builds up all over my body. I feel a surge of pain and lean up with my legs wide apart to stay on the bench.

SIMON HIU
I see you react to the pain build up after you take in some water. Impulsively, I go to massage your right arm up through the shoulder and then I gently turn your body around so you can lean on me. Then I massage your ribs. "How does that feel? A little better man?" I ask while trying to help soothe the damage from the match.

DRIFTERBOY
"It feels ok man!" I say as the massage soothes my side and I look over at you and then take some more water.

SIMON HIU
As I massage up and down your body, I make my way up to gently massage your neck. "Take it easy," I whisper as I continue to massage you. "You put up a great fight out there man," I let out.

DRIFTERBOY
"I always fight hard Simon you know that!" the pain is still in my voice.

SIMON HIU
"Don't push out more too soon Ben, you already prove yourself... Out there, and everyday man. I am glad to have been able to finally fight you my friend," I say as I move to massage your shoulders. After maybe 5 more minutes of massaging, I ease up on that, slowly turning your body so your back faces the wall again, in case you need to lean on it again. "Feeling better now Ben?" I ask. I go on, "When you can again, you can either use the showers here or in the apartment. I'm gonna go get myself cleaned up here, but I'll leave the keys to the apartment right here," I point to the space between us on the bench and then I go get the keys from my locker and place it there on the bench next to you. "I hope you enjoy your stay old friend, until you have to travel again!"

DRIFTERBOY
"No," I quietly say and put the keys to the apartment on top of the nearest locker "The hostel will still be open for an hour!" I make my way to the showers and grab a towel on the way as I stagger over with my hand out on the wall to keep steady.

SIMON HIU
"You sure my friend?"I shout over to you as you make your way to the showers... "Well, where you leave the key now, remember you can come and get it at any time man! The apartment is yours for however long you need it for!" I reassure you.

DRIFTERBOY
I turn slowly and nod back at you "You and I are old style fighters and, win or lose we belong to no one!... uuuughhh" I feel the surge of bad pain and fall into the shower room.

SIMON HIU
I rush over to you to catch you before you fall on the ground. "Hey man! Steady now, eeeasyyy," I say in a soothing tone. It's times like these I am glad that whoever built these facilities included a smaller bench inside the showers. I sit you down on the bench in the shower you were heading in. "Slow and steady, okay my friend?" I say and smile at you softly before getting up and heading out of your shower and closing the curtains behind me.

DRIFTERBOY
A few minutes after you close the shower curtains behind you, you hear the sound of the water loud and hard on me as I get up from the bench into the water. I clean myself fast and towel myself down fast. It takes an hour for me to put on my T shirt and jeans and I leave my shoes untied. I reach for my ruck sack and head away.

SIMON HIU
As soon as I head out of your shower I go to my locker and get a towel and a fresh change of clothes while stripping off my battle gear. I head to a shower near yours and begin getting myself cleaned up. As I get out of the shower, I help you put your clothes on. You then reach for your ruck sack, I look up to you as I tie my shoes, "I'll see you when I see you my friend," and smile at you as you head out.
