"Indeed women can do everything men do and I really don't see why guns should be somehow harder for women to use. I know a woman who can use a bazooka far better than any man..." said Lee as he thought about Anna, wondering where she was right now. It's been such a long time... Was she still working for Kazuya?
Thinking about this, Lee thought that he liked dangerous women. A woman with a gun was far more appealing than a woman with an apron, even if those could still be very appealing as well...
About her golf talent, Lee replied:
"I am always right. And call me Chaolan. We are becoming friends, right? So we can be more familiar... Can I call you Helena?"

Helena nodded. "I am glad you feel that way."
She was a bit curious about who the woman that can wield a bazooka is. "Bazookas are hard to carry. It is amazing that a person, especially a woman, can manage that."
Helena did acknowledge that she didn't have as much upper-body strength as the average man, but still hated being underestimated.
"I am always right. And call me Chaolan. We are becoming friends, right? So we can be more familiar... Can I call you Helena?"
"Sure, Chaolan. You can call me Helena."

"Excellent, Helena."
Lee continued speaking about his friend: "My friend is very strong. She doesn't look like it, she has thin arms and doesn't look muscular at all but she can hit and fight quite hard, she is not to be underestimated."
Of course, thought Lee, much of her strength came from her martial art training so not exactly her muscular strength but still, she was quite strong anyway... Lee thought he should stop to talk about Anna since he didn't know if she was still with Kazuya, so she somehow would be an enemy to Helena (unless Helena was a spy for Kazuya, despite thinking probably not, he still wasn't certain...), and maybe an enemy to him as well... He hoped not but somehow was scared to get news of Anna. Maybe she was even dead... But he continued talking to Helena:
"As you are. I'm sure you would be very tough if you had to fight in close combat or with your guns. You have that somehow determined look that makes you seem like you would pass through a wall very easily if need be."
Or would want to pass through that wall, thought Lee who also wondered if she really was against both the Mishima Zaibatsu and G-Corporation, alone. Unless her blogging site had strong allies... But if not, she could get crushed by both walls... Yet she had found Lei and him... If she wasn't on Kazuya's side, Lee was willing to help her...
"But you also look very sweet with your sun-dress and straw-hat..."

"My friend is very strong. She doesn't look like it, she has thin arms and doesn't look muscular at all but she can hit and fight quite hard, she is not to be underestimated."
"Indeed. I would imagine so." Helena said. "With the right fighting style, one can be a dangerous weapon."
"As you are. I'm sure you would be very tough if you had to fight in close combat or with your guns. You have that somehow determined look that makes you seem like you would pass through a wall very easily if need be."
"I am very strong. Quite tough and not to be underestimated. I'm quite adept at Krav Maga. The martial art that the Israelis use to defend their homeland against the Palestinians."
"But you also look very sweet with your sun-dress and straw-hat..."
Helena's expression went from serious to flattered. She blushed a little, looking away. She did not expect that.
"Well... um... thank you."

"Oh yes, Krav Maga. That kind of martial art is reputed to be very strong..."
Lee still wondered what Helena was thinking. She was hard to read, she offered the image of a distant and somehow tough person yet when getting closer, she seemed to be all shy... Maybe she was all distant and mysterious because had suffered much? Because she lost her husband? She was still mourning him and she somehow distanced herself from everything because of that? But maybe she was like this even before that...
"You know, you are a very interesting person. I like you a lot."

"Yes, very strong. You have to be strong to break limbs. They won't break themselves." She said as a matter-of-fact. "But you can still fight without breaking limbs... Krav Maga is really more about immobilizing your enemies more than anything."
She finally hit the ball on the last hole. Now it was time for lunch. Helena saw herself wonder though, how is Micah doing right now?
"You know, you are a very interesting person. I like you a lot."
"Thanks. I like you more than I initially thought."
Well, at least there is one person who seems to like her. That's a good thing. Isn't it? She's not sure whether or not Lei likes her, but it is very likely that Dr. Kristovitch gave Lei the truth bomb, so Lei probably more than likely dislikes her now. Especially since the research that woman and her husband worked on together got him killed.

"Immobilizing... So that is why so many security forces use it around the world... Makes sense."
Lee smiled when Helena told him she liked him more than she initially thought.
"Excellent. I'm glad I made you change your mind... That was my ultimate goal. Well, now let's go eat."
Lee went to the golf kart and showing the seat while slightly bowing, said:
"Ladies first..."

"Yes, of course..." Helena got in the golf cart.
She was enjoying this, but she couldn't just let herself enjoy it. She was finding reasons why she shouldn't enjoy it, yet she is. She found herself starting to get agitated. Quite agitated. She needed a smoke. And very soon. Hopefully, the place they go to, it allows smoking. Otherwise, she's at a loss.

"You said the sushi bar, right? You'll see there is a lot of variety for all the tastes!"
Lee drove toward the East course clubhouse, he had fun driving that cart and told Helena as he kept looking before him:
"So, you had fun with the golf course? You want to drive?"

"Yes, I'd like to eat at the sushi bar." she confirmed with Lee. "I think it would be great."
"So, you had fun with the golf course? You want to drive?"
"No thanks. You drive. I have no idea where I am going."

Lee realized that Helena was right. He was used to the place so he was driving without even thinking about where he was going.
"Oh. Indeed. Well then, appreciate the sight while I take us to the clubhouse."
Once they arrived, Lee parked and went to open the door of the clubhouse for Helena. Inside there were many businessmen that Lee knew and politely greeted. He quickly presented Helena to some asking who she was, only saying she was his friend but didn't stay very long to speak to them. He then told Helena:
"If you want to meet a lot of important CEO, this is THE place. Everybody has to come here at least once in their business life and most like it so much that they always come back. But luckily, Heihachi never liked golf very much and doesn't come or I would leave the club at once and never come back. But he is more of a tennis person. Never seen Kazuya here either. I think he doesn't like golf or tennis or whatever. He doesn't like much. Except fighting of course. But I meant other sports."
Lee then showed a discrete place in the sushi bar, far from the others.
"Okay so we will sit over there, it seems more calm, the cook will come soon to serve us and prepare the sushis. Oh and I didn't present you in too much details to the people we met because I do not know how discrete you want to be."
Lee made a sign for some cook to come and then turned to Helena, asking:
"So, have you seen anyone here that you wrote about on your blog?"

Once Helena was finally at the place, she hopped out of the cart and reached into her purse. Right now, she needed the smoke.
"If you want to meet a lot of important CEO, this is THE place. Everybody has to come here at least once in their business life and most like it so much that they always come back. But luckily, Heihachi never liked golf very much and doesn't come or I would leave the club at once and never come back. But he is more of a tennis person. Never seen Kazuya here either. I think he doesn't like golf or tennis or whatever. He doesn't like much. Except fighting of course. But I meant other sports."
"I see..." She paused what she was doing.
Maybe I should come here more often... She thought to herself.
"Okay so we will sit over there, it seems more calm, the cook will come soon to serve us and prepare the sushis. Oh and I didn't present you in too much details to the people we met because I do not know how discrete you want to be."
"Give me just a minute. I need some fresh air." She said to Lee. "I'll meet with you shortly."
As she stood outside, she pulled out her cigarette and lighter and began smoking. She sighed with relief after her first exhale. She really needed this.

"Okay..."
Lee wondered what Helena was doing. She seemed restless... She was looking for something in her purse moments ago, was it a cellphone? Maybe she needed to make a call? But she was kind of avoiding his questions when he wanted to be more serious... Yet he wouldn't go see her outside since he had called the cook to come over, it would be impolite to both follow Helena when she needed some time alone and to leave the cook standing there alone. So he stood there making small talk with the cook until Helena would come back.

Helena got done with her cigarette, coughing a little before discarding the remains in the marked area. She returns inside the restaurant and takes a seat next to Lee.
"So, what did I miss?" Helena asks, noticing that Lee had been talking to the cook.

Lee told Helena with a smile:
"Oh, Kaito was asking me if I would dare eat fugu sushi today but I told him I wouldn't and asked him if he would. He wouldn't either even if he is qualified in preparing the fish."
"Because I'm allergic to fish, I can prepare them but I cannot eat them", said Kaito, a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, right...", said Lee not believing him.
