needed. It was kind of what he needed too. What the hell was he thinking?
Zen sat down across from him and stared at him as he started to eat. Hammer tried to ignore his friend. He really didn’t want to talk about anything. Finally, Hammer looked up.
“What?” he demanded.
“You’re an ass.” Zen then stood and left the room.
Yeah, he was an ass .

Jerry tapped the window of the shuttle he was in. Molly had been avoiding his phone calls. The bitch. He was going to have to start taking drastic measures. The loan shark was not going to wait forever. He needed the money and soon.
One of his old gambling buddies referred him to a guy who would handle difficult situations. Molly was definitely a difficult situation. He was on his way to meet this guy to see what plans could be made.
If Molly won’t see reason, he’ll forcer her hand.

The GCFA ship arrived at the next spaceport and there was a Friday night event. Molly was given the night off and tickets to VIP seating to enjoy the event. The kids had a babysitter for the night. Molly had to go by herself because Maya was working as ring girl.
She was looking forward to it, though it wasn’t really what she liked to watch. Hammer was fighting tonight. She was all excited in anticipation of seeing him. He had been keeping to himself the last few days. She would make breakfast only to have him say he'd grab something downstairs with the other fighters.
The kids were acting strangely toward one another. She knew something was up with them, but she didn’t know what that was. If Hammer was talking to her, they could discuss it. Instead, he left her on her own to try to figure things out. It was getting frustrating. The least he could do was pay attention to what was happening with his nieces and nephew. As soon as she got a chance, she would have a serious talk with him about spending time with the kids. They needed to know he cared about them. But tonight, she was concentrating on having a good time.

“Welcome everyone to the beautiful sports arena here at the North Western Alpha Region. I am Poland and this is my fellow commentator, Johann. We are coming to you live at the Galactic Cage Fighters' circuit event.”
“Poland, what is in the line-up for this evening?”
“First up, we have the newest member to join the GCFA, a Voltan halfsie called Torch. We have a few matches set with the armature league. Then Hammer is up against a full Beastial.”
“It looks like a fine line up. Stay with us for what could prove to be an exciting evening here at the GCFA.”

Molly sat in the VIP section. She wore a black halter dress she had purchased earlier that day just for tonight. She had second thoughts when one of the attendants handed her a towel. Did this mean there was going to be blood everywhere? She felt a little queasy.
She looked around her but no one else seemed to have a problem with the thought. The other women in the VIP section were all young and gorgeous. With perfect skin, perfect hair, and perfect size two figures. Was this what Hammer was used to? No wonder he lost interest in her. How could she compete with petite beauties like them? She felt sad but her attention was redirected when the announcers began the event.
Molly cringed through the entire first few fights. She actually thought about leaving. But she didn’t want to leave before Hammer had his fight. She was grateful for the small breaks they had in between. She used that time to refresh her face and steel herself for the next bloodbath. She was ready when they finally announced Hammer’s fight.

Hammer made his way to the cage. The crowd went crazy as soon as the music started. He glanced toward the VIP section. Molly was there watching him. He knew this wasn’t really her thing, but he appreciated that she made an effort. He gave her a smile. He motioned to one of the VIP attendants to come forward.
“Yes, sir?”
