Gambling Part 1

A few days earlier….

Harvey walked into a small pub that seemed to be the only place around here that he might be able to earn a little money. As the door closed behind him he noticed that the air around him was filled with a lingering smoke. It was a small place, maybe ten tables at the most, each filled with people drinking and talking. The only thing he didn't see was a table that had a set of cards and a large pile of money on it, so he decided to leave.

"Hey you." called someone. Harvey's copper eyes scanned the room until they rested on a table over in the back corner of the pub. There was a small group of men sitting there, all looking over at him. "Come here." Harvey, not knowing who they were or what they wanted, put up his guard as he walked over to them.

"You look like you could use a game." said a man that had a large red beard as he walked up to the table. Harvey looked down at the table. There was a large amount of cash and by the look of it, they were playing cards. Not saying anything, Harvey sat down in the empty chair. It couldn't hurt to play one game. He thought. This was the reason I came here in the first place.

Two hour later Harvey was on his last amount of cash. In the middle was twice as much cash as they had started with. "I raise you." said the man with an eye-patch. Harvey looked at his set of cards. He had a full house, cruisers, and sword. He than looked around the table at the other men. The one with the red bread and the one wearing glasses had already folded. So looking back down at his cards he thought about his choices. He could fold or raise. As he thought about which one he would choose, he unconsciously played with his lighter under the table.

"Well?" asked the guy getting impatient. Harvey looked up at him.

"I raise." Harvey threw in the last of his money. The guy across the table looked completely shocked. "Are-are you sure?" he asked. Harvey gave him a weird look.

"Well?" Harvey asked as he waited for his move.

"Well you got some nerve 'cause I got a temple flush." The man laid his cards down. The man began to reach for the money when Harvey showed him his own cards. The man paused when he saw the cards. Harvey had won. The man stared at him in shock as Harvey started to collect the money from the table.

"Hey wait, where you think you are going?" asked the red faced man.

"Why does it matter?" asked Harvey as he placed the rest of the money is his pocket.

"We ain't done with you." said the man with the eye patch

"What more do you want?"

"Our money back." said the one with glasses.

"Well that's not my problem. I won and I'm taking what I won with me." Harvey said standing up and starting to walk away.

"No, you don't" yelled the eye patch one. He grabbed Harvey's shoulder and spun him around before throwing his fist at him. Harvey avoided his fist but stubble backwards. The other two men stood up from the table and walked over to the one with the eye patch. It was three against one.

"Hey!" screamed the bartender. "If you're gonna fight take it outside." Harvey turned around and walked out into the starry night, followed closely behind by the three men.
