After the slip back from the bit heap with Jarome and the run in I had with the Amazonian char in that hotel I felt like the king of the pit. Boy that feeling did n't last long. Jarome left my slope after the slip to the combat heap something about finding a midget. I swear Jarome is a slip but he seems like a ok guy a bit eldritch but he has n't tried fucking me over so he 's cool in my Scripture.

After I first came into the inhabitable zone I saw the trouble start. A big bear of a man blocked my way into my electric cell pulley-block. He was n't faceing me so I figured he did n't know he was in my way. `` Excuse me can I get pass ? '' I ask as friendly as I could not trying to push this guy I could barely hold my own in the area here in the habitable zone there are no rules.

He turned around and growled while he tried to speak to me I guess to intimidate me. Spittle dripping from his thin backtalk as he spoke to me. `` No trespassing Dinkerman ordering. '' I was shocked I could n't even get back to my own cell I did n't want to argue with the man though he seemed like he could suppress me with his thumb if he wanted to. `` Oh..ok sorry. '' I said as I turned around and looked to see if anyone knew why Dinkerman locked down the cell block.

Looking around I saw one of the white guy cable who was with us on the orbit one of the twins I think he was the guy chucking grenades and blowing people up. `` Hey what 's going on man ? '' He did n't appear to wish me talking to him and ignored my head. `` I said…hey can you get wind me ? ''

He scrunched up his fount and looked at me he wore camouflaged pants with a knit stitch black tee shirt and thick boots. `` Some idiot pissed off Dinkerman and now the whole cube been cut off until they 're done beating up the fool. '' He spoke in a rough smoking car voice. I tried to see past the group of men blocking the entrance to the cell blockage with no destiny the there was just to many of them.

I decided to abide on the railing next to Dinkerman men to get a salutary view so I pushed past a few weaker looking men and stood on commencement rail. There is a uncouth area under the cells where a guy can shape out a little free of flush because the family line at home watching the Arena at home want to see sizable people killing each other. What I saw shocked me horribly, Charlie was in a circle bloody and cut fighting off three men. `` You fucking kick. '' Charlie yelled as he spat the origin around his cut lip into the heart of one of the guy cable and gave him a right wing hooking then spun around and elbowed him across his face with a quick combining of lick. The guy fell to the group two others carried him off and another came in to learn his topographic point after they got the knocked out man to the side they dropped him and joined the other man ready to beat Charlie even spoilt then he already was.

'' Come on then… '' Charlie said as he put up both his clenched fist balled up and prepared for the others to jump him standing in a good champion position. The two charged at Charlie but he was faster for a big guy so he did n't sweat it when he saw them charging. Charlie swerved to the left and shoulder rushed the closest guy to him knocking him on his ass. Charlie then jumped and stomped on his thorax sending all the air he had out of the thug on the ground keeping his eyes on the other two.

Charlie looked tired I wondered how long he been fighting them off, but then just as I was about to retrieve of joining in to serve Charlie the group of men spread out and backed away from Charlie. Dinkerman came into the center in the circle of men with a smug grin smeared across his facial expression as he looked at Charlie leaking parentage from his case. Dinkerman was n't very tall only standing at five base seven inch and skinny as twig but was a loss leader of the most infamous gang in all of America. His ring took over nearly of Windy City 's black market place threw point-blank force and waving of murders and the New York city is under his iron clenched fist as well.

His ring controls most of the Arena underworld activities like smuggling stripe contraband and drugs but it is n't the solid when it comes to numbers seeing as most rather die then suffer the wrath of Dinkerman in the Arena. Dinkerman puts any guy who lets the corporate security forces take them in awake threw a gang beat down to earn their respect back, nigh die after a few seconds. `` mentation you could rob me ? Thought I would n't find out you been shortsighted changing me for six calendar month ? '' Dinkerman said as he shuffled secretive to Charlie I figured he found out he 's been getting a small ball of what Charlie earned by surviving the Arena, but Charlie told me everyone keeps a bit for themselves so I wondered how Dinkerman found out.

'' Now you 'll notice out what I do to hook so-and-so. '' Dinkerman said as threw himself at Charlie goring himself into Charlie 's tum that nearly took Charlie down. Dinkerman then started to beat him with a fury of biff and elbow joint strikes while Charlie was still recovering from the gore. Charlie tried to halt but still got hit, he then pointed his genu up and strikes Dinkerman in the side of meat quickly so not to let Dinkerman push him over.

Dinkerman groaned surprised by the knee strike to the kidney and Charlie used this opportunity to his advantage. Charlie grabbed at Dinkerman 's neck opening and pulled it down driving his skull into Dinkerman 's face. Then with both hand out stretched he smacked them on Dinkerman 's spike that caused Dinkerman to yell in pain in the ass as his ear drum nearly popped from the impact and the tawdry smack from Charlie 's open palms. Charlie then flung his articulatio cubiti up into Dinkerman 's scent sending Dinkermans head whipping back so fast it had to leave him discombobulated.

'' Fucking prick, I 'll get you for that. '' Dinkerman said as he licked the blood dripping from his olfactory organ with his tongue and took a step back. Charlie shoved his closely palm tree into Dinkerman 's mentum and made him burn his tongue sending bloodline squirting out of Dinkermans mouth. `` Do n't believe I 'm done just yet. '' Dinkerman said with a lisp as his severely cut tongue dripped blood down his chin.

Using all his strength Charlie pushed Dinkerman off balanced then he got on top and began to beat on Dinkerman driving his fist into Dinkerman 's boldness and poke with prompt and thundering strikes. Dinkerman tired to roll him over but Charlie was lowering then Dinkerman could make a motion so his men came to help Dinkerman. They kicked and punched at Charlie while some stress to pushed Charlie off their party boss. Charlie was totally out numbered I could n't watch anymore so I jumped down kicking the nearest guy in the aspect from on top of the rail and he was out cold, and then threw myself into the mathematical group of men arms swinging wildly into the frey.

I punched and kicked a few out of the way but did n't do much there was just to many of them for just me to handle. Then just as I was getting my look beat in by three strong-armer who quickly stopped my heroic try to economise my celly they were attacked from behind as far as I could severalise. It was Jarome and a few of the Motown Millitant trades union came with a few other cholo looking bangers who also joined the fight and quickly Dinkerman and his toughie did n't have the act reward. Soon it was a brawl the MMB and these cholo banger against Dinkerman and his strong-armer with bodies smashing up against one another fist flying kicks being thrown and anyone who was on the ground got stomped on quickly.

Jarome was busy fighting off three guys and Charlie was now up fighting along side his cholo looking firecracker, I was now go out typeface to grimace with Dinkerman of all mass why did it hold to be him. `` You petty pup, imagine you can trip the light fantastic with me ? '' He asked me as he stepped closer clenched fist up ready to beat my grimace in looking like a daemon unfermented out of the pits with his mouth covered in mostly his own blood. I looked around almost in disbelief that he was talking to me kinda hoping he was talking to someone behind me but nope just a blank wall behind me and fights to either side of me. I literally had no place to run or conceal I was going to have to push yesteryear Dinkerman to get the shag out of this sistuation.

'' You got to be kidding me. '' I said as I saw he was n't kidding and coming even closer to me. He took a whole step towards me and I noticed he was wearing my shoes, the very shoes he robbed from me on my first day in this hell jam. Somthing inside of me snapped I ca n't call back what but I heard a cracking sound inside my header like a bone being snapped in half and I lost it all sense of my mankind was lost.

Suddenly all the bankruptcy in my spirit flashed before my optic. I saw my job that was going nowhere where the highlight of my day was spitting on soul 's nutrient and follow them eat it. I saw Paulina standing in a wickedness ally with my beer can half evacuate crashing into her face in decelerate move. I saw the slow jock Tucker head crashing into the john sinkhole then Paulina standing in court of law pointing to me and sending me into this blaze maw until I die a vehement Death.

The final epitome that was in my chief was Dinkerman standing over me after he shoved me to the priming and taking my shoes leaving to take the air barefoot around this stinking situation. All of them figure of speech made me so angry I could cry out, but I did n't stimulate fourth dimension Dinkerman was now swinging at me. The lick was in slow question I could 've sworn meter stood still for a secondment so I made sure I was n't going to die today. Nope not today not by Dinkermans hands. I 'm going to live I 'm going to survive I 'm going to get out of here !

I used this freaky secondment of slowed down time to move and shove myself into Dinkerman shoulder first. Dinkerman did n't expect me to actually fight back back so my shoulder thrust caught him as his right wing leg was rising up to postulate a stone's throw forward while swinging at me. Dinkerman tripped losing his basis from wearing my skid that were too big for him and my well timed shoulder rush. I jumped at him grabbing the girdle of his pants lifting them and him up while driving Dinkerman to the background in one speedy motion. He drove his elbow into my spinal column twice and all I could do is strike at his face with four left come-on to his cheek not even feeling his elbow smash on my rachis.

One of the many left hooks I threw at him slipped and landed right on his olfactory organ instead of his cheek, that caused him to be dazed a small as he blinked once slowly trying to regain his composure. I raised myself up on one elbow and threw all my weight into one knock-down punch then as I was still on top of him I threw a right come-on then a left crotchet both hitting his nuzzle leaving him to crump up his face in pain. I was so roiled I could n't give up, so I punched him twice with my right hand then interlocked my fingers together raising my fists up above my head then driving them down onto Dinkerman 's face like a maul. That caused him to shake violently then puff as he was knocked out cold from my final bump.

Completly shocked I was breathing hard and quickly got off him and went to his infantry. I took back my horseshoe that he stole from me on my first off day here and headed behind the other guys that came with Jarome and slipped my feet into my soft sweaty horseshoe. Then a alarm was raised and smoke piled into the habitable geographical zone and everyone froze and stopped hitting each former. It was a weird smoke yellowish and smelled strong of squash pepper flakes with a unearthly chemical smell form of sweet and spicy, causing all of us to deal our mouths and cough violently at the chemical smog seeping into the habitable zone from blowhole luxuriously above the ceiling and down from smaller pea sized muddle randomly placed at solid ground stratum.

My number one inherent aptitude were to do what I saw on the screen that played while I was being transported into the orbit. It showed us the general formula in the Arena when eating and shower time is also what to do when we 're being unruly. The cover showed a stick figure on his knee joint and had its head down on the base, as grass pumped in all around him and guard bots came in and whacked everyone who was n't in that posture. The invigoration was sort of funny story seeing the diffrent agency a guy can fail at putting his header down on a floor. I tried to get on my knee joint but ended up kneeling on mortal who was knocked out. While I was n't sure who it was I hoped it was Dinkerman who was being crushed by my knee joint, but that person kind of blocked me from being able to identify headland down so I moved.

I moved to the in effect of my ability but the smoke blinded me. Finally I was able to find out adequate space to kneel down and placed my head on the colly base just in time. Sure enough the guard bots came in and began to club anyone who was n't on their knees with large rubber sticks that I 'm certain left welts as a few who did n't get into position in metre were quickly thrown to the earth from the C delivered by the rubber sticks. Once the Mary Jane cleared everyone was ordered into their cells half beaten or still coughing and a bit blinded by the pot every one tried to take the air back into their cells some helped each early navigate their way to their cells.

Charlie was still hurting pretty bad and I helped him into the cell and onto his mat to perch up. `` nooky Charlie what was that all about ? '' I asked him and he replied quickly and in between coughing from the weed. `` Nothing kid it 's BASIC law and order in the sports stadium. The old man must 've bet against me in the adjacent trip up and sent Dinkerman to make sure as shooting I lose by beating me one-half to Death so I 'm easy picking in the Arena, or to puddle Dinkerman off enough he 'll kill me if I survive the side by side call to the Arena. ''

'' Really ? I bet he did n't see me beating him and getting my shoes back from Dinkerman. '' I said happily as I rubbed my jaw and checked out my horseshoe proudly a bit sweaty but finally my foot are more or less comfortable. Charlie chuckled lightly and layed back on his mat staring up at the ceiling.

'' No, I 'm sure he did n't, who knew you was such a killer kid ? I 'm sure the old man wo n't be to happy about the fact you knocked Dinkerman down a few tholepin. '' Charlie said as he tried to get up to wash off his face clean and jerk from the dried and caked up blood. I heard Charlie speak of a old man before when we came back from the domain, but I have n't seen any old multitude in the habitable geographical zone mostly killed for whatever they have on shoes dress, they do n't incline to endure long in the Arena so I wondered who was the old man that Charlie was talking about so I decided to ask him could be there is a much more dangerous mortal then Dinkerman I should be worried about.

'' Charlie what old man ? '' I asked while looking out the cadre and saw Jarome limping but smiling as he was being helped into his cellphone by one of the twins escorted by a few of the MMB. `` The Ol'man, the warden of the scene of action. He is n't really that old but he is in cathexis or as in commission as it gets in a place filled with crook. See the old man takes a cut from everyone who lives in the Arena and then the crime bosses takes a cut too from every winning returner from the pit so they die quickly and entertainingly you know for ratings. ''

I looked back at Charlie who was washing the blood off his grimace with the can water our only source of clean and jerk water in this place. `` The bosses every crowd here has a boss a ring loss leader do n't chafe learning their name they tend to die out at to the lowest degree one every hebdomad. You can grease one's palms the Old man to give you a edge in the arena but at a huge cost it 's not deserving it especially since its never a guarantee you 'll come out alive. Always aim to kill but try to issue forth out in one piece cuz medical avail ai n't cheap here. ``

I was a tiny bit shocked but not completely I knew their had to be some level of putrescence in this place would n't be the American way if somebody was n't getting a kick back and another the shitty end of the stick but I was mostly shocked that someone claimed they had command of this place. Just as I was about to ask something else I noticed two trays of food were given to us by some prisoners who seemed to overlook the brawl and the Chaos that ensued after. It had two dry hard biscuits a slab of what I assume is substance like intersection covered in gravy and a side of soggy half wintry veggies. I was about to dive into the food as it is the inaugural food tray I had in all week even though the telecasting on the way here said we get fed every two days.

'' Do n't eat all of it at once. They feed us only twice a calendar week make it terminal. '' Charlie told me as he tore a piece off his cooky and chewed it twenty times before swallowing I did the Same. `` I lost a lot of weight unit since I been here, but for risking your neck for me I 'll buy you some solid food tomorrow in the credit hall. '' I thanked Charlie and only ate the same amount of food as he did I 'll get some real food tomorrow.

After the quick bite to eat I layed back on my bed and thought about what happened today. Looking back it was alot that happened, I had my first sexual experience with some random chick, built my own weapon and fought with Dinkerman and won. A bit more then I expected I thought for indisputable I would 've died twice today or at the most on my world-class hebdomad here, but after knocking out the top dog Dinkerman I felt completely different more convinced in myself and well I know I can count on at least two people here Jarome and Charlie. The luminance went out but the sense of smell of the smoke lingered in the air still and it was firmly to sleep even though I was physically spent my heart was still racing from the scrap, well the royal beat down I gave Dinkerman. `` Hey Charlie do you know them guy rope who helped you out ? '' I asked Charlie before he went to slumber who did n't seem to take care the smell of the toxic smogginess that lingered in the so and was one-half gone already in his cot.

'' Yeah Jarome is in flush of the MMB the Motown Militant Brotherhood, it 's a crowd of brothas they run all of cell block D we fought with Jarome in the pit remember ? He runs a squiffy ship over there used to be some jackel named superior used to run that block but Jarome took concern of him on his first day here beat the guy to death and claimed leadership no one argued been in charge ever since. Who knows why he decided to help me out but I got to get him back he was probably sick of Dinkermans diddly just like everyone else around here. The cracker are probably a few of my brothers men or in some of the latino crowd. My brother is n't in Arena he 's still out taking aid of the household business running the Lone-Star State boundary line jumpers helping them make it to Mexico, but he pays a few of the Latino ring well enough to keep me dependable in the habitable geographical zone anyways. I 'll have to give thanks them sometime tomorrow hopefully they wo n't ask for a gravid cut from me or my Brother. '' Charlie said as he turned around facing the dirty paries signaling he is done talking. I 'll consume to find out some way to survive the pit if Dinkerman is ever paired up with or against me because I 'm indisputable he wo n't ever forget or forgive the beating I gave him .
