    this started then,” Sasha, a tad more brusquely than she intended. If it is possible for a voice over an earpiece to smirk, Sasha swore that this one did. “Feeling a little nervous then I take it. Oh well, I suppose at least wishing you good luck isn't entirely out of order.” Sasha only stared ahead. Then out of the corner of an eye, she noticed the small red light above the door quietly change to green. Sasha stayed staring ahead. Two men walked past the door on the footpath outside. Then a family of five hurried past to destinations unknown. The occasional car drove past on the road, the heat of the afternoon sun dueling with the driver's air conditioning. Sasha stayed staring ahead. The voice “ahem'ed” in her earpiece. “You should know,” said the voice, “that 'standing stock still by the door' hasn't been an award-winning strategy for any previous winners of this game.

It had been one week since Sasha Sinclair and Tara Tennyson had decided that it was time to settle their differences once and for all. Ordinary people would have found some mundane way of settle their disputes, but Sasha and Tara's feud had long since left the realm of “ordinary.” “Mundane” was not even going to come close to sating the need for revenge. Sasha and Tara had a relationship borne out of a mutual shared love of athletics, politics and – above all else – winning. The naïve observer might laughably think that such shared interests might indicate that Sasha and Tara were destined to be best friends. They were certainly destined to spend plenty of time in each other's company. In fact, for a while at least, Sasha and Tara seemed to get on just fine. Both had similar political interests and opinions, both were excellent runners, and both were on the fast track to success. Being of the same age and growing up in the same area, Sasha and Tara had met at high school when by the usual cosmic coincidence, they signed up for the school's athletics club and model UN club at exactly the same time.
