Luis didn't try to make up anything and straight up told Ace the truth.
He told him that Dylan knew he wasn't going to participate in the competition and went to take a nap at their dorm room, at least that was part of the truth.
"How long has he been gone?" Monica asked.
"Since the competition began," Luis said.
"Oh," Monica said.
"He should have at least stayed and tried to learn a few things from the fights." Ace said.
"Yeah but I don't think he wants that," Luis said.
He didn't want to give his roommate the full gist of why Dylan had gone back to their dorm room because he didn't want him to worry about it now and he also didn't want Monica to know about it.
"The next fight will be between Fred Treph and Chris Morales." Lieutenant Kate said.
Hearing the first name that was called Luis quickly turned his gaze to the screen.
If he had not been paying full attention to the other fights he was sure going to make sure he would pay attention to this one.
