>>19037843Carmody takes a deep breath. She puts all thoughts of Colby out of her head. That's her trouble, not Sola's. And that's not what Sola's asking about.
>"Yeah, as far as the match goes, I know what I'm doing. I'd love to beat her, but she is who she is, and we only got five minutes. So: I'm gonna survive, learn, and win, like Coach Ash says. I'm gonna TRY to beat her; maybe the unthinkable happens and I catch her napping. If not, every second she's on defense runs down the clock. But lose or draw, I'm gonna milk that match for everything I can get out of it."Carmody frowns.
>"Now, as far as that contract..... I dunno, Sola. Nah. If I sign anything, we're gonna renegotiate. This place has her big vandalized picture on it, she's got some kind of stake in it, and she could really make something great here, you know? Put some SERIOUS money in, invest in good trainers like Coach Ash, help turn this place around. But she doesn't wanna do that, because she wants to say how Nikki and Amy are better than anyone that ever stuck it out here. She wants all that shit she told me about how the Dojo sucks and kills young people's careers to be true. And rather than calling my friends and my coach parasites, why not invest in ALL of us, rather than just try to pick out the one she thinks she sees something in?">"Because what she sees in me ain't talent."
