Races chapter

Race was having the time of his life and he was surrounded by eight beautiful girls. What more could a guy want? ……..Probably to know the girls names. Race took note of this and thought maybe it was time he asked the girls a few questions of his own. After all they where asking him questions a mile a minute, he should be able to ask a few himself.

"Ladies, ladies calm down there's enough Racetrack to go around."

The comment got him some giggles and a pinch in the butt from Gambler.

"Whoa feisty aint we?" Race laughed.

"Nah she's with Spot. I'm Gambler." Gambler smirked

"I like the name." Race said

"And I think you have a hot piece of ass." Gambler muttered under her breath eyeing the unsuspecting newsboy up and down.

"So's" race started "Do da rest of ya got names?" He asked completely missing Gamblers little comment about his ass.

At this everyone said their name at roughly at the same time.

"Ok" race said completely missed everyone names "Now lets try this again. One at a time."

"Dianna."

"Hawk"

"Angel"

"Cat."

"Bookie"

"Ritz Carpelli….or just Ritz will work."

"Hush."

Race blinked"….Wow dats a lot of youse…"

"Yes it is! So what do ya wanna do?" Angel asked the Italian as she came to stand by him.

"I wanna go to da tracks…….why are yous guys looking like dat?" Race asked looking at all the girls and the guilty looks plastered all over their faces.

"You mean Sheepshead races right?" Bookie asked.

"Well yeah what Races would I be talking about?" Races said as he rolled his eyes.

"It aint here no more…" Hawk said slowly

At hearing this Racetrack Higgins fainted.

"Muffins please tell me you were just joking about the door being locked." Blush pleaded with her friend.

"I'm not joking…..look lets just find the batteries and get out of here." Muffins said trying not to sound scared.

"Ok um I think they keep some boxes in another room over there…at the end of the warehouse." Blush said pointing her flash light to the left.

The two girls made their way to the end of the ware house jumping at every single noise to come their way. Finally muffins stopped. "did you hear that?"

"What you mean that thumping noise that's been following us since we left the door…no I hadn't." Blush commented.

"Oh good."

######################Back in New York ######################

Racetrack Higgins opened his eyes to find eight girls staring down at him all worried. At seeing he was waking up the girls all backed off relived.

"Great we didn't kill him!" Angel Cried with joy.

Race sat up and looked around. He was no longer in the streets of New York….no…he was in a room…..a very nice room by the looks of it. He also notices he was on a big soft bed.

"Uh ladies, where da hell are we?" Race asked slowly

Bookie Looked up and smiled wickedly "My hotel room."

Race nodded uncertainly.

"Hey!" Gambler yelled loudly "You said I couldn't make out with him while he was all unconscious but he's awake now so I guess that means I can make out with him all I want!"

Racetracks eyes widened to the size of gongs and his face took the color of tomato sauce.

Hawk and Angel both threw a death glare at Gambler and Hawk took a deep breath before telling Gambler.

"Gambler you are not touching Race! Remember that rule?…the one that says no one touches him unless invited to do so…..or the other girls just happen to meet an untimely end…whichever first."

Gambler just stuck her tongue out at Hawk and went back to staring at race.

Race Looked at Cat who was playing a game of poker with Hush and Ritz in the corner, he began to grin widely.

"Any of yous play poker?"

All the girl in the room nodded and Race smiled wider if it as at all possible.

"Den what o ya say we all play a game of poker heah?"

All the girls nodded and Hush stood up "Fine but I wanna play poker my way!"

Race looked at her amused. "and what way would dat be?"

"I want to play Strip Poker!" Hush said grinning. A few of the other girls started whooping in the background

"Strip what?" Race asked raising an eyebrow.

Hush sat down on the bed across from race. "Strip poker is a poker game that every time you lose you have to remove and article of clothing……Until eventually some ones naked."

Racetrack grinned impishly "Fine Im in if you goils are."

'Dis is gunna be much to easy, Ill have em beat before day even know whats goin on.' Race thought as the girls nodded in agreement and sat down in a circle on the floor.

Ritz picked up the cards and began to deal them out doing some fancy shuffling as she went. "Alright boys and girls pokers da game Jacks wild."

Ritz said Vegas casino worker style.

Race picked up his hand and grinned inwardly as he looked around at half the girls who didn't have a very good poker face….

------------------------2 hours later-----------------------

"Ha! I win again!" Cat cried as she slapped her cards down

All the girls looked to race who had the lowest hand again and raised an eyebrow.

Races shook his head. "Aww c'mon goils don't do dis to me! Im down to me underware and I aint taking it off!"

Ritz looked over at Gambler and shook her head. "Can you belive what a bad sport he's being?"

Race couldn't belive this…he was sure he was going to win and yet here he was down to his underware and the most any of the girls had to take off was Bookie and she only took off her shoes, socks and hat! This wasn't fair! He didn't think they would actually be this god at poker! He was supposed to be better at it! Not them! Race inwardly pouted.

"We're waiting." Dianna said as she watched him intently "Don't make us turn Gambler loose on you."

Race sighed again " C'mon! cant we just work out a deal or sumthin?"

Dianna shook her head no.

Race shook his head in defeat "Fine you guys win! Alright!"

Outside the hotel room many cheers and whistles could be heard.
