Ranger24: Okay kinda annoyed by the defacet in reviews but here's the newest chapter. Also today april 24 is my birthday so yeah to me.
Chapter 14: Death poker part 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
It was very late, way passed most little kids bed times. Yet out on the bay was a large cruise liner with semi retarded sounding music coming from it along with enough lights to confuse it for a dutch brothel.
On board dozen's of wealthy men and women in fancy get ups were spilling away their cash in a massive on board casino. Several girls in bunny suit's flitted from table to table prefering to hang with the men who were making the most money. One guy who looked barely old enough ot be gambling had two bunnies all to himself one with lime green hair and the other with pinkish-red hair simply because he had just beaten a guy shitless at high stakes chess. Yes there is such a thing as high stakes chess.
Lilo and Stitch gazed down in wonder at the madness of this high class party from a balconey over looking the gambling pit. Lilo and Stitch had both done their best to look fancy for this whole thing.
"How the heck do these guys make so much money?" Lilo asked in awe.
TSS smirked, he was dressed in as fancy of atire as he could get wich basically meant a black vest and jacket. In one hand he held a leather brief case and over his shoulder was slung Ranger's black Guitar case. "Most of these clownes either got their money through inheritance or they managed to get lucky on the stock market."
"In these economic conditions?" Lilo said raising an eyebrow.
"Indeed." TSS replied making his way along the balconey.
"Hey, where's Ranger?" Lilo asked.
"At the high stakes table." TSS replied.

Meanwhile Ace dealt out the cards at the high stakes Texas hold 'em table. She'd knocked out the real dealer and shoved her in a closet. Now she was keeping an eye on the private high stakes table. She glanced at the players.
The first one was a man in his late twenties early thirties, he had blonde hair with a mustache and side burns. The second was an old man with glasses and more wrinkles than a shirt that had been on the floor for two months. The third was a woman in a red dress, she had blonde hair and blue eyes a small smile was almost always on her face it seemed. Then there was small man with red hair, a large nose, and glasses who was looking nervously down at his chips which were by far the fewest. Then he eyes fell upon the final player.
"I raise this little game by four hundred." The blonde man said tossing in a couple of chips before glancing at the next person on the table.
"I'll call," Ranger replied tossing in the appropriate amount of chips.
Why Ranger was even thinking he could survivie a poker game at the high stakes table Ace had no idea.
"I'll fold." The Blonde woman said setting her two cards on the table.
"Is it my turn yet?" The old man said glancing about in confusion.
"Yes," everyone else replied.
"Oh okay then, I call." The man said pushing the proper amount of chips.
The red head gulped and tossed in a couple of chips. "I raise it two fifty."
The blonde man smiled. "Very well I call."
Ranger merely tossed in a few extra chips.
"Well I fold then." The old man said putting down his cards. The blonde woman smiled as Ace turned over the first three cards. A two, a four, and a five. The Blonde man smirked.
"Say anyone here about King? The Gambler from hell?" He asked.
"I'm to old for ghost stories sonny," The old man replied.
"They say if you lose a game with him, he not only takes your money. He takes you life." The blonde man said ignoring the older man's comment.
"If your trying to spook people out of their money you'll have to try harder buddy," Ranger replied disinterested.
The man smiled and pushed forward several chips. "Four fifty."
Ranger nodded and tossed in the appropraite amount of chips. "I call."
The red haired man at the end gulped. "I raise it three fifty."
The blonde man and Ranger both meet the bet.
Ace quickly did the math in her head. The Ante was fifty dollars a player so that meant two fifty plus four hundred from the orginal beat added to the raise equaled two thousand three hundred and fifty dollars had been added last round. Along with the ante that equalled two thousand six hundred. Then there was the added cash from this round equalled five thousand dollars in the pot.
She turned over the first card, a Jack.
"Seven fifty," the blonde man said tossing in his chips. He glanced down at Ranger. "You know my freind I was merely making a statement. I like a good game."
"Fine by me," Ranger replied. He pushed in seven fifty.
"Well as for King they say he only goes to the high stakes table and that he's never lost a game of poker." The blonde man said as the jittery red head pushed in the appropriate chips along with a little extra.
"I raise it t-two fifty," he said stuttering.
The blonde man smiled. "A risk taker? Very well." He pushed in even more chips. "I call and raise it two hundred."
Ranger simply tossed in his chips.
The red haired man shivered slightly tossing in the appropriate chips. The pot was now eight thousand six hundred dollars.
"That's some big money," The blonde woman commented.
"Big money is a sign of big men," the blonde man replied.
"Is that an attempt at a sexual innuendo?" Ranger said with a raised eye brow as Ace turned over the final card, a seven.
The blonde man smiled and pushed in his chips. "One thousand," He said simply.
Ranger sighed and set down his cards. "I fold."
All eye's fell upon the small red haired man. He gulped and pushed in his chips.
"I call and raise you eight fifty," he said drumming his fingers against the table.
The blonde man smirked. "Oh you're really pushing your luck my freind."
Then to everyone's suprise he pushed in his entire stack! Almost fifty thousand dollars, he leaned back in his arm chair. "All in."
The red haired man gulped. The pot was Sixty one thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. The red head looked as though he was about to have a seizure. Then he pushed in all that were left of his chips, just around five thousand dollars.
"All in," he said voice trembling.
Ace shook her head. The poor guy was cracking apart. They were only ten hands into the game and someone was about to lose it all.
The blonde man set down his cards smirking. A jack and a seven. "Two pairs of two of a kind."
The red head however blinked in utter shock and he dropped his cards onto the table. A six and a jack. Everyone quickly had his suprised expression. The blonde man looked thunder struck. A straight and a pair.
Ace promptly pushed over the entire sixty six thousand four hundred and fifty dollar pot over to the red head.
"You're friging kidding me!" The blonde man screamed as a look of delight crossed the read heads face.
"You lost fair and square buddy, calm down." Ranger muttered.
"YOU CHEATED!" The blonde screamed pulling out a M9 pistol! The red head's eyes widened in fear and everyone except Ranger had a sudden expression of alarm. Ace's hand went straight to her own pistol!
At that moment however the man clutched at his chest gagging horribly. He dropped his pistol and collapsed on the table. Everyone stared at him in shock. Ace gulped and quickly pulled out a blanket. She checked for a pulse but his body was motion less.
"He's dead," she whispered.
Ranger leaned back in his chair. "Check please."
