That night Stacie went to the club and Ash and Albert decided to go and have a quiet drink at Eddies Bar. The others left the hotel leaving Danny and Mickey watching TV. Danny soon got bored and went to get some cards. He sat down at the table and started shuffling the cards. Mickey watched him for a minute before turning off the TV and walking over to him.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?" Danny replied without looking up. Mickey sighed and sat down next to him. Danny ignored and started setting up a game.
"I know that you have been offered another job. It must be a hard decision for you."
Danny put the cards down and looked at Mickey.
"Yeah," he said quietly "I mean its great working with you guys but…"
"I understand," Mickey said. Danny looked at him surprised. Mickey smiled at him and stood up. "I'm going to bed, it's getting late. Night."
"Night."
Mickey walked in to one of the other rooms. Danny and Mickey had to share a room in the hotel as there were not enough rooms and the rest of the hotel was fully booked. Neither of them had been happy about it but they had no choice. Twenty minutes later Danny walked in to the room and went round to his bed. He looked over and saw Mickey in the other bed.
"Hey Mickey. You awake?"
"No."
Mickey sat up in bed and looked over at Danny who was sitting on the other bed with his back to Mickey. Mickey sighed, got up and walked round to Danny. He sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You still thinking about the offer?" Danny nodded. "Ok…well think of the good sides to both and I'm sure you'll come to the right decision." Danny looked at him. "Just remember – we'll always be here for you…I'll always be here for you." Mickey smiled and Danny couldn't help but smile back.
Mickey stood up and went to go back to bed. "Thanks Mickey." Mickey turned round to see Danny standing behind him. Suddenly Danny hugged him. Mickey grinned and hugged him back. Danny pulled away. "Yeah…er…anyway…night."
"Night." Mickey said softly before going round to his bed. Danny got in to bed and soon fell asleep. Mickey sat on his bed and watched him. "I'll always be here for you no matter what you decide," he whispered before he fell asleep as well.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Albert and Ash got to Eddies Bar and ordered the usual. They got the drinks and sat down at one of the tables. They talked for a few hours. The conversation ended on the latest con.
"You know I love playing the con. Lately it hasn't been the same though," Albert said sadly.
"I know but things will be better soon."
Albert looked at Ash sadly. "I wish I could believe that."
"What are you trying to say? You want to give up the con?"
"I've been playing the con for years. I'm not getting any younger. Things are going slow at the moment so if I'm going to give it up now is a good time." Neither of them said anything for a moment.
"What about this con?" Ash finally managed to ask.
"This…this will be my last con," Albert sighed. Both men sat and finished their drinks in silence before heading back to the hotel.
They reached the hotel room and quietly opened the door. It was late and they assumed that Mickey and Danny were already in bed. They silently crept over to their rooms and whispered goodnight.
Shortly after Stacie came in. She looked around. Everything was in darkness. The place was silent. She switched on a small table lamp, blinking in the bright light. She made herself a drink and sat down at the table. She picked up the cards and finished the game that Danny had started earlier. Soon after she turned off the lamp and made her way to her room. Everything became silent once again…for now.

Thanks for the review! I know some of the English isn't great. What the characters say is not meant to be proper English though. It's just the way they speak. If you mean other parts as well then…I may re-write it at a later date. Glad you like the plot though – that's the main thing lol.
