Prologue: The Ace of Spades
"So what kind of future do I have in store baby? Will we be seeing more of each other?" he lifted his drink, sipping it slowly, his eyes locked with hers, matching her black ones.
"Let's find out." she replied, turning the three cards over. "The Queen of Spades, the Eight of Spades and The Ace of Spades. Interesting." She flashed a flirty smile at him. He grinned back.
"The names don't mean anything to me baby. I want the meanings. Am I in for a good time?"
"Well, the first," she touched the Queen lightly, nudging it forwards. "This stands for a woman who is widowed or divorced."
"Is she hot?"
Her eyes narrowed. "It doesn't say." she said batting her eyelashes.
"Next one."
"Eight of Spades. Can mean several things."
"Like……"
"Upsets, misfortune, temptation, danger."
"Well babe, danger's my middle name."
"I bet it is." she muttered, her eyes turning into slits. "And the last one. This isn't really what you'd call a good card."
"And why is that?"
"It has what you might call a bad reputation."
"Don't we all."
"You sure you want to know?"
"Enlighten me already."
"With pleasure." she said, a fake smile plastered across her face. She leaned across the table so there was little space between them. He leaned closer as well, closing his eyes and tilting his head, expecting. Expecting a kiss.
She slowly reached into her pocket under the table and withdrew a jagged knife. Gripping it tightly in her hand she raised it over the table and slammed it into his chest.
His eyes popped open for a second and he choked, spitting out blood. "You bitch." he managed to say, gagging on the words.
"What can I say. You play with fire and I will burn you."
She pushed back her chair and stood up, looking down on his body. She picked up the Ace and flicked it away. It landed on the ground, where a pool of blood was forming.
"Careful. You're staining the carpet."
