Theres probably nobody reading this but my English teacher told me my story was pretty good and said if I add some more chapters, she will consider it as a homework task and forget about some homework i aint done. So I'm gonna continue this, im bored anyway so if your sitting confortably I'll begin again.

Dimitri Had the Van lifted on board and stowed below deck, within 3 hours the boat was on its way to Russia, it was a 3 week journey so Sam spent most his time in the Van cleaning and checking guns, and systematically searching every ich of the Van for any tracers, or nasty surprises, Sam also made sure the cash was still there. Sam didn't expect to find any but it kept him busy, and after Sam had triple checked all the weaponry, made sure the vans tank was full and quadruple checked it for anything that would give Third Echelon a clue to where he was, Sam removed the NUmber plates and sprayed the van from black to a Silver.

After nearly a week at sea Sam was bored and was pleased when Dimitri called him to his office. When Sam got there he was unsurprised to smell Vodka and ciggarettes, what did surprise Sam was the numerous games tables from cards to chess, any kind of adult board game was in the room. Dimitri looked up from his game of poker with several men, it appeared Dimitri was winning, as he had the largest pile of cash, Dimitri asked Sam if he wanted to join, Sam pulled up a seat on the far right of the board, with Dimitri to his left, the cards were dealt and Sam recieved an Ace of clubs and a King of diamonds, Dimitri sneezed at this moment bringing his hands up to his face and leavin the cards clear for Sam to see, there was a 9 of spades and queen of hearts. Sam smiled as he realised what Dimitri was up to Sam coughed and tap Sam look at one of the men and said "Thats a nice diamond, i bet it cost a kings ransom." The men laughed and the guy informed sam it was stolen from one of londoms top gem stores, where it was priced at ?00,000, next Sam looked at a business looking russian guy, "So what do you do, are you a club owner who sells off drugs in the premises, and have you heard about this new drug called Ace? It can be produced 4 times faster than Cocaine, cost less to produce, yields more leaves and gives a bigger high, making it sell for more, being the most profitable drug out there." More laughter went round and the guy said "I used to own a few clubs now ive got a deal with the Mafia, They buy old warehouses, and do them up, I move in and make a tidy profit and attract customers, after that i earn ?,000,000 per club as well as 20 of the profits, and how do you know so much about us, has your goverment briefed you about us and sent you to assasinate us?"

"This time no-one laughed, it was silent as the flop went out, with a Jack, 8 and 5. Dimitri obviously felt it was up to him to speak "Gentlemen we are all business men, wether we sell drugs, guns, are mercenaries or whatever we all are involved in crime, myself included, I wouldn't have called mr Fisher if i didn't think we needed him and he was trustworthy, afterall if he is not we would all be jailed myself included. And besides we all have problems Sam can help us with, and maybe we can help him with his." Some of the men looked aprehensive, others worried, but the rest had the gleam in their eyes that is associated with greed. The turn went down with a king.

"Excuse me sir my English not so good..." one of the men started in a russian accent with long pauses between the words. "Then speak in Russian." Sam replyed with a perfect russian accent and pronounciation, the man looked relieved and continued in russian. "If i may be so bold, why do you flee America? I have many Girls cueuing up to get in, willing to do anything to get in." The man was smirking and men were laughing all round the table. so far 5 men were in with $30,000 each and Sam and Dimitri both met the $30,000 equalling a pot of $210,000.

"Thats a good question, and the answer is simple, I'm a fugitive, wanted from the CIA to FBI to the local police and even wanted by several secret organisations." Sam finished with a short laugh devoid of humour while the men looked with new respect, fear even at Sam. The last card was an Ace, Sam remained silent And put an extra $10,000 making him have put in all $40,000 he had, Sam did a quick head count, no-one had left and each man had $40,000 on the table, Sam remained still and impassive, Dimitri cracked his knuckles, and one by one each man turned over their cards sam had 2 kings 2 aces and a jack, the best, one guy had a pair of 7s and a jack ace and king, but Sam had the best hand.

Dimitri offered Sam a small satchel to carry the money in and then Sam went to lock it in the van. By the time he got back most men had left leaving 2 men playing snap for laughs and dimitri who was over by a chessboard. As Sam walked over Dimitri suddenly asked in a loud voice about Sam's payment to get to russia, Sam gave him 40 Grand and when dimitri looked surprised even slightly angry Sam told him that there was anothr 40k if Dimitri made a 6 hour stop in London. Dimitri had a wild look in his eye, the look of a man who enjoys danger. The course was changed to include a small stop in london harbour while the boat re-suppklies.
