He took Roselyn to a casino. She didn't understand what they were going there to do. she had it in mind to ask if that's where he does his training but she couldn't voice it out, she chose to wait and see first.
         There many games were played for money. card games, snookers, chess, football betting, ring fight and many more. The ring fight took more crowd. it was a noisy place and each sector was very lively in it way. 
           Roselyn still haven't gotten a clue of what they were there for but still she still did not ask, besides it was not boring. She had her eyes on thrilling scenes. Richard got a place for her to sit and tell her to wait there. Now she wasn't going to go against that order. They might loose each other in the crowd and anything can happen if not careful. 
            The guy in the ring, who's already defeated his rival was looking for another opponent but nobody was willing to face him. he was huge and muscular. The scar and hardness of his skin showed he has been fighting all his life. He waited in the ring flexing, waiting for a challenger, when he got none he asked for permission to choose two people randomly, that was granted. he picked two guys who looked like they have never punched before. They refused to go. He called another ones, one agreed but one refused so another was to join him to make them two but they waited and no one showed up. So the guy also decided he won't fight if he doesn't get an accomplice.
         As he was heading out the giant guy rushed to stop him. On trying to grab and pull him back the guy struggled and mistakenly his elbow hit the big guy's nose making blood to ooze. He got angry and started beating him mercilessly. The referee tried to stop him but he refused to stop. Another person entered the ring. Who got such guts to dare? What is he there for? His presence caused everywhere to be still. Everyone was put in suspense. Roselyn was surprised that the person that have caused the change in the atmosphere was Richard.
"Oh my God! What is he doing there?" She panicked.
            They announced Richard as the next challenger. He wasn't bothered. He was cool as long as the weaker guy was set free. He ensured the tension subsided before making moves. He walked close to the guy and whispered. The guy looked at him with a kind of look that cannot tell whether he understood him or not. the bell rang, the yelling from the watchers increased. The fight began, for few seconds they were roaming to and fro of the ring to get a better position for a strike. from Richard's bouncing moves and confidence he was obviously a good boxer. This still did not convince Roselyn. She felt like going there to pull him out. She was worried but if she does as it was in her mind she will be disobeying him for the second time. 
         Both fighters were doing well. the big guy was stronger but Richard was faster. He tried to duck each strick because it was possible that one of the guy's punch can take away his consciousness. Why must he take such risk? They continued until the guy started getting chances against Richard. Now Roselyn had to disobey Richard. She stood up, pierced through the crowd and began to yell at Richard but her voice was too faint to go above that of the entire crowd. She did not stop, she continued. At that point the guy lifted Richard to smash him but Richard was quick enough to spin over his head, bring him down and locked his arm. The pain was severe and unbearable. In seconds the guy gave up. Everywhere got silent. Roselyn did not know what got into her that she shouted and everyone heard her. They all turned towards her. That was when Richard too saw her. Everyone joined her to hail. Richard! Richard!! Richard!!!  
           She got into the ring, leapt on Richard happily. People were throwing money at them. They got all the rewards and all they deserved and were leaving. The guy he saved came to thank him. There he gave him some shocking amount to go treat himself and he was happy. making the hailing increase. 
"You didn't tell me you were coming here to fight" Richard said. 
"I was coming to see someone in regard to my bike. I wasn't coming to fight but I decided to get involved seeing that he was about taking life out of that poor guy"
"Where did you learn how to fight?"
"It started when I was a kid. I enjoyed action movies and I get so delighted to see characters defending the weak with their skills. So I grew still cleaving to that. I got enrolled in a kick boxing training without my mom's knowledge. That's where I wanted us to go before my bike got missing. and now it's late. maybe next time"
"How were you able to drop the big guy down? "
"You know everyone believes he would defeat me. So almost everyone bet against me. So, I know that if by any chance I win, all that percentage will come to me. but if I loose I will get nothing, he too, will get just little. So I told him to let me win so we can share the outcome 50, 50. That percentage will be bigger than what he will get if he had won. So I don't know if he accepted the deal, but I think he did, just that later on he was going too hard. So I had to end it before he takes me off"
"You had all the chances you needed?"
"Yes, but it has to look real"
"That means you can possibly fight him"
"Maybe. With the agreement we had to be careful not to injured each other. Games like this needs wisdom. Not just strength and skills"
"Right, Solomon the wise man. Samson the defender" Roselyn smiled and kissed him publicly without being shy.
"Nwanne" This was the big guy from the ring, calling their attention, meaning "Bro". They looked at him with so much surprise. He wasn't as mean as thought. They shook hands and pleasantries. Richard took out all the currencies gained. divided it into halves without counting it and gave him one. The guy looked happy. 
"I didn't count it but I think it's enough"
"Oh, no need for that bro. I wouldn't have gotten this much if I have defeated everyone today. Thanks bro. I hope to see you next time" the guy said with a smile as he pockets the money in his hoodie. 
"God's willing. Bye"
         They parted. The money still left in his hands, he divided it into halves again and gave the one to Roselyn.
"For being my biggest fan"
"I was really worried. I felt you were going to be killed. I was confused. I didn't know what to do"
"I saw you but I pretend not to. I will be distracted"
"You did? Bad boy. But why give me all this? it's too much?"
"Replace the money you lost today"
"You lost your bike too"
"I don't think so, the person is rather keeping it safe for me"
"What will you tell your mom?"
              He paused and looked the sky. it was night already, the weather was dark and cloudy. 
"It's showering. Good, I will tell mom I left the bike at a friend's place because it's raining"
"Just showers"
"When you are riding you feel it more. and she's warned me several times not to ride while it rains. no matter how small"
He took off his jacket and covered her head to shoulders, took her hand and they ran off happily in the rain like kids.
