VL-IV economical description, fanciful interpolation: the martial arts circuit

[Michael Bailey]

"in the Rolodex of Ralph's memory, young DL would be flagged that
brightly." (as an "angel of mischief")
dank cement arena
grim, early ex-Nam faces
motels always miles from the venue and down the wrong freeway (so he's
following her even to her motel?)

the fanciful interpolation (or is it?):
that Mafia dudes go to martial arts meets to recruit talent.
And then become fans.
and that there was a Yak-Maf grapevine...
