“Training? I’m already trained to fight in multiple disciplines,” Rachel responded.
The other man in the fancy suit had been silent until now. “Not for this type of fighting.”
“And you are?” Rachel asked as she raised her eyebrow up at him.
“I am called Lesak. I have trained many fighters for the GCFA. I am well known within the fighting circuit. I will be your in, but I must make sure you can fight well enough to be accepted at the tryouts. The fights won’t be fixed. They will be real.”
“I’m one of the best fighters in the agency. The best female fighter for sure,” she said with confidence.
“It won’t be good enough. You are pure human. You have only fought other pure humans. The GCFA fighters are mixed species, halfsies as they are called. They have to be, in order to sometimes fight full-blooded aliens as their opponents. A halfsies alien DNA ensures that they will have superior strength and speed.”
“I think I just got insulted.” Rachel looked ready to knock this guy on his ass.
Excerpt from Inter-Galactic Bounty Hunters
Inter-Galactic Bounty Hunters Book One
By KD Jones
Victor closed the door to the war room. “Okay, guys, let’s get started.” He hit a button and a picture was projected onto the wall of a blue man’s mug shot.
“Our first guy is a Bazinoid named Cotton. He is the typical Bazinoid, height of six feet six inches and weighs two hundred and thirty pounds. He is charged with battery of a household member. He skipped bail and has been on the run for the past two weeks.”
“Do we have an active warrant?” Jagger asked.
“Yes, but this is the third time he had bailed back out. He is costing me money. I want to bring him back and close this file.” Victor ran a hand through his dark brown almost black hair.
“Who do you want to go after him?” Asia, one of the few female bounty hunters they had on payroll, asked. She was the tiniest woman Jagger had ever seen with straight black hair and almost black eyes.
“I want Asia, Jaz, and Falcon to take this one. I think Asia might be able to lure him out in the open and then Jaz and Falcon can grab him.” Victor went through three more cases assigning different bounty hunters to work the hunt. He pulled up the last case and the picture displayed caused quite a few whistles by the males throughout the room.
Jagger sat straight up in his chair when he caught the glimpse of the female’s mug shot before him. Holy hell she was gorgeous, even with the orange jumper and bright lighting. She had beautiful dark brown hair and the purest green eyes he had ever seen.
Victor went over the case. “Our last case is Daniela Martin, human. She is five feet five inches, 140 pounds, worked as a sous chef for Maribell’s downtown. She is charged with stealing money from the Ariston Bank Consultant Firm where her boyfriend works as an accountant. She skipped out three weeks ago. I ran some of the leads myself and I think she has jumped off the planet entirely. None of her friends here on Fin-Dieskau have heard from her this entire time. I do suspect the boyfriend is keeping tabs on her though, but he has denied it.”
Victor looked around the room and his eyes fell on his cousin. “Jagger, I want you to take this case.”
