Chap 1: First Blood
"This is my territory and none of you have any rights to touch this girl!" screamed Nancy.
Onlookers shot glances in the direction of the commotion...
Venue: Orchard road
A standoff between 2 gangs was taking place right in the middle of this famous and busy stretch of road in Singapore. Best known for its posh shopping malls and hotels, many tourists frequent this destination for this reason as well. Behind its decent reputation it hid the presence of numerous gangs fighting for influence over the area. The gang who would get it would have the greatest chance of becoming the most influential gang in Singapore and would earn profits beyond anyone's imagination.
Nancy, 24, Chinese, with large black eyes and long golden-dyed tresses, was naming out her terms to another woman. Clad in tight leather pants, putting on an air of authority, Nancy truly means business. Nancy is certainly behaving as one gangster or what we termed as "ah lian" in hokkien, a local dialect.
She belongs to "Red lynx", a famous all-girl gang which has cells in various parts of Singapore as well; and recently its head mistress, Agnes, has taken an interest in expanding their operations into Orchard. After enjoying years of stability under her reign, many who have heard her name feared her for her skills in combat with metal poles and pipes, this made her also known as "Shadow pole". But it has other dark connotations as well which will be covered later.
"We'll not let this matter rest! This territory will not remain yours for long," retorted Nicole.
Nicole, 22, Chinese, short spiky hair, a typical butch appearance goes in line with her reputation of being one of the most capable assistant for her gang, "Mystic dragoness". But sadly, this gang has always been shrouded in secrecy, its origins and history are unknown, but it's rumored to have established itself in Hong Kong before coming over to Singapore. So, it can be said that it is experienced in underworld dealings. And this time, Nicole is panning to uphold the reputation of her gang and show that they are no pushovers.
As Nicole and her girls back off, Nancy proceed to calm the emotions of the shaking girl. What she failed to notice was the scheming smile on Nicole's face as she disappears into the darkness...
"It's ok now girl, the bullies are gone. You are safe in my territory." comforted Nancy.
"But.... But....."
"What's wrong? What were they trying to do? Did u pick a fight with them?"
"I...I..."
Thinking it was just another weak-willed woman she had rescued, Nancy thought nothing of it and decided to stop pursuing the matter. Nancy motioned for her assistants to escort the salesgirl back to her shop while she went back to her routine of patrolling the streets...
Back at the red lynx headquarters...
"What? Where the hell did Fannie disappear to?" demanded Agnes.
"The last time I saw her was a few hours ago in the pub chatting with another woman." reported Jasmine, the female bartender of Madam Wong, a local pub.
"Doesn't she know that she's supposed to pick up the goods now? And I can't get through to her hand phone! That stupid woman!"
"I guess she might have had an emergency or something come up?"
"Emergency? Something that's more important than this? She should know better!"
As Agnes slowly regained her composure,
