She sat alone at a bar, having finished her gig for the evening, a tall glass of iced water waited in front of her with one of those silly paper umbrellas sticking out the top. It was obvious she hadn't touched it for some time because the condensation on the glass was starting to pool at its base.  Kaitlyn was clearly preoccupied with something else, that being the cell phone she had in her hand.  She had spent the last half hour trying to reach her girlfriends Lily and Estelle, both of which she was having an extremely hard time getting a hold of.  Message box after message box, and she filled them both up with a few brief blurbs about how she missed them, and how Vegas was a big man, with a big appetite.<br/><br/>The few friends she had accumulated were on the Circe du Soleil project with her, and they all had a very professional, stingy way about them.  No time was spent kicking around after work, no fun, just business.  And  that wasn't exactly how Kaitlyn liked to play.<br/>Granted, she did her own searching for another party to mingle with, but you had to be rather choosey, because it was dangerous to get hung up with the wrong crowd.  There were plenty of those running amok.  Kaitlyn was never the best judge of character, and his is where her naivety came into play, without Estelle around to keep the hard knocks at bay, she was more likely to get played and redirected in the wrong path.<br/><br/>Randomly, a guy came swaggering along.  A big buff guy, with short hair and a tight fitting cotton t-shirt and jeans.  She vaguely recognized him, thinking it was the Lenny Bruce she had met at an Ultimate fighting championship match.  There were plenty of opportunities for 'staff' members of shows to get free admittance to some of the other venues, and one evening she decided to go check out the fighting.  She had always appreciated athletic performances, and she thought UFC could be a blast.<br/>To make a long story short, she just happened to meet this UFC fighter while at the match-up, and he had shown great interest in the spunky Kaitlyn.  It wouldn't have surprised any other person, had they payed witness to their original encounter, but when he sat next to her at the bar, she lightened right up, a startled look on her face.<br/><br/>"Oh! Heyyyyy.... Leroy?"<br/><br/>
