Last Night

I had just left Joanna’s office, unaware my secret conversation had been listened in on, and was heading to the locker room to get ready for my match when my phone rang.

“ Hello?” I asked, answering.

“ Hey Josh, I know you have a match coming up, but I need you to swing by my office,” Bret Hudson said.

“ What about?” I asked. I was sure he didn’t know I had gone into business for myself with Joanna. She had been meticulous about covering our tracks to ensure I had remained champion for one hundred seventy-five days with six successful defenses.
