Chapter 2 Poker game
"So this guy broke in here last night," asked the cop
"Yes i don't what he was after but it was strange" rouge said
"How so?" the cop asked
"Because he didn't flinch when i had a gun point blank against his head"
"I see"
"Another thing after he knocked me to the ground he stabbed that golden dagger close to my face, almost to scare me"
"To escape maybe"
"Maybe but i don't buy it"
"Well we'll do what we can miss rouge"
The cop left the building and rouge sat down on the sofa, she remembered the eyes those gold slit eyes. They pierced the darkness like a spotlight but at the same time induced fear to who ever saw them.
There was a knock on the door, rouge got up and answered it.
"Hey shadow"
"Hey rouge"
"Come in"
Shadow walked in and sat on a chair next to rouge.
"I heard about what happened last night"
"I see"
"G.U.N is all over who this guy is but it seemed like he just vanished"
Rouge leaned back in the sofa and looked at the window the stranger jumped out of, he seemed to be after something but she couldn't figure out what. Shadow was thinking in the chair he wasn't good with the reassuring pep talks but he was rouges friend, rouge looked around the room to find out if something was missing but it didn't look like robbery was his motive.
Through the day rouge was with shadow and omega on missions for G.U.N, she seemed to be able to forget about the guy from last night. But he would always find a way back into her mind and plague her thoughts, walking with shadow and omega they wonder just who this guy is. They walk into a casino and rouge gets some money out to play poker, it was just her and shadow until someone else came to play.
He walked up to the table and place fifty thousand rings on the table to get his chips, he sat at the far right keeping his head down the whole time.
Rouge: four of hearts and two of spades
Shadow: king of diamonds, and five of clubs
Stranger: queen of diamonds and queen of hearts
First it was rouge to bet.
"Call" rouge placed a thousand down
"Call" shadow followed suit
"..." the stranger placed the same meaning call
The dealer flipped the first three cards.
Three of clubs, seven of hearts and king of spades.
Rouge looked at her cards not the best hand so she played it safe.
"Fold" rouge placed her cards down
Shadow looked at his cards and then at the three on the table.
"Raise two thousand" shadow placed two thousand rings in the pot
The two looked at the stranger who looked at his cards and then at the three on the table.
"..." he threw in the two thousand meaning call
The next card to be placed down was a ten of spades not what shadow or the stranger wanted.
"Call" shadow threw in the two thousand
"..." the stranger did the same
The final card to be flipped was the queen of spades meaning the stranger had three of a kind.
Shadow looked at the cards and sighed as he called throwing in the two thousand.
The stranger did the same and looked at shadow.
"Two kings, what you got?" shadow said to the stranger
The stranger said nothing but placed his cards face up.
"Three of a kind beats a pair he wins," said the dealer giving the stranger the chips
Fifteen thousand chips were given to the stranger who was still seated meaning he was good for another game, and so were rouge and shadow.
The dealer dealt their cards.
Rouge: ace of spades and five of hearts
Shadow: eight of clubs and nine of spades
Stranger: nine of hearts and ten of hearts
This time it was the strangers go first.
He looked at his cards and threw down five thousand rings guess he was confident.
"Call" shadow said throwing in the five thousand
Rouge was confident with the ace so she called as well.
The three cards the go down were the ace of hearts, the nine of clubs and the jack of hearts
All three were happy with their cards and the stranger went first.
He placed ten thousand in the pot which made rouge wonder how this person could keep his expression the same.
"Call" shadow placed ten thousand in the pot
"Call" rouge placed ten thousand in the pot
The total pot so far is 45 thousand rings.
All three called again raising the total to 75 thousand rings.
The next card to go down was the queen of hearts.
Once again, all three called raising the total to 105 thousand rings.
The final card to go down was the king of hearts.
Shadow played his hand first.
"Pair of nines"
"Pair of aces"
They turned to the stranger as he played his cards with no emotion in his face.
"A royal flush you win sir a total of a hundred and five thousand rings"
The rings were brought over to him and he collected his winnings turning to rouge and shadow he nodded and left the casino. On the way, back to the apartment rouge was a little worried.
"G.U.N's gonna kill me"
"Maybe not"
Rouge and shadow saw the stranger from the casino standing in front of them holding a piece of paper, he handed rouge the paper and walked off.
"What's it say" shadow said
Opening the paper, it turned out to be a check for 105 thousand rings.
Rouge and shadow looked at the stranger walking away in confusion he had won this money and now he was giving it them back.
What do i need with money, i have all i need already nothing else is needed. So why do i still feel so strange
(Okay what a strange fellow anyway read and review homies)
