He won the match by submission in the second round. As always, the ref had to pull him away from his opponent after the match was called. Manners, like stop-before-you-kill etiquette, never mattered much to Marcus when he was in the cage. All he knew was this: enemy, hit/kick, take down, defeat. He didn’t see a lot of need to know any more than that. The morning after a fight, however, there were three completely different things he knew: ice packs, breakfast, and call sister. Scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, orange juice, and three ice packs later, Marcus cleaned up his breakfast and stretched his sore joints and muscles. He poured himself a glass of tap water and was ready to call Cassie. He called her every Sunday morning to see how she was doing. Cassie was his twin, just finishing a 2-year-degree in community college after 5 years of taking classes. Between getting away from their father and waitressing full-time to cover bills while she studied, she was set to graduate at the end of the summer session in August. She would be a licensed medical assistant and already had a job lined up with a local pediatric clinic she did her internship with.
