[She heard the sound of someone using the punching bag.
Helga wondered if the mouse had bought a new one after the one that she'd almost destroyed.
She let herself into the gym and watched the young woman with the bag. She had potential. Maybe not as a boxer, not like her sister, but for pure combat... The lieutenant knew enough about movement and agility to know what she was watching.
Without a word, she shrugged off her jacket, removed her holster, and took off her black sweatshirt. She walked up behind the punching bag and held it steady to let Audrey be able to hit it harder without worrying about the swing.]
[She shifted a bit, changing her hold on the bag. Usually, she wasn't the one holding a bag. She was usually the one trying to kill it, but she'd learned how to hold it.]
[Wham. A solid right hook to the bag and she hopped back. Nena' showed her footwork along with how to knock a guy around. And Audrey's natural 'bouncyness' helped a lot in that. But she kept her eye on the bag.]
I won't make nearly enough money on this teacher's salary to send back to Papi at Christmas if I don't.
[She thought it was a good excuse for her wanting to go.]
