~Travis
Round and round the roulette wheel went, where it stopped would be 31 black, after all I had put all my money on it. The other people at the table were looking at me like I was an idiot, and if I was most people, they'd be right to think so. A few people had gathered around the table to watch my winning streak. The wheel finally came to a stop where I knew it would, and the crowd gave a cheer and acted surprised. I stood up and gave them a bow.
Quickly, I gathered the chips I had won and made my way through the crowd. It's always about this time that the Casino starts getting suspicious. I saw my way to the counter to cash the chips in and leave the casino.
To give you a little background info, I have made my way to Vegas, and it was my kind of city. My current location was in the Royal Flush Casino. It was aptly named since I had already gotten three of those while I was here. The casino closely followed a red and gold theme and had a ceiling lifted far over everyones heads. Slot machines lined the walls, with all the real fun located in the center. My current location was by the entrance and chip distributer.
I had a quick chat with the girl at the counter, showed her a id with my age faked, and got my cash. With money like this, you really don't need a pot of gold. I approached the door when a rather bulky gentleman grabbed my shoulder.
"My boss would like to have a word with you." He said with a voice that sounded like his diet consisted completely of gravel.
"I would love to, but it's just not in the cards tonight." I gave a slight smile hoping he would enjoy a bad pun. The answer was he didn't.
"You can either follow me, or I'll have to carry you, and if I smash you into a couple of walls on accident while I carry you, well that will just be unfortunate.
"No need to be so crass. I'll come with you."
He kept a tight grip on my shoulder the whole walk, until we got to an employees only door. After walking me through a few halls, we came to a double door which he opened, and shoved me inside of the opening, closing the door behind me.
Inside the room there were three men sitting around a table. Two were in the stereotypical security guard get up, while the third man was obviously in charge, and in posession of extreme wealth. He was clean shaven, and his clothes kept the casinos red and gold theme. The room was rather luxerious, and the decorations covering the room revealed the owner to be... lets say a womanizer.
I decided to be the first to break the silence, because he just kept sitting there watching a television, not paying me any attention. "This room seems awfully classy." I doused this with a heavy layer of sarcasm, and gestured toward a large painting of a naked women.
He just chuckled and gave a smile. "You clearly don't get fine art sir."
"Is that what they're calling that now? In my day they called that pornography."
He looked at me to let me know I was wearing on his nerves. "I'll let you know that painting is worth $300,000. I bet that's more than what you make in a year."
"On the contrary, I made that much in your casino today. Also, you might want to try the internet, you can find your smut much cheaper there."
I finally tugged his last nerves and he signaled towards both of the guards. The guards stood up, reached to the holsters by their belts, and pulled out guns. They of course were then pointed in my direction. He spoke up once he had gotten my attention with this action. "According to a few sources I have, you've been cheating many casinos around here. Those same sources have informed me that those casinos actually offered a reward for you dead, of course their money has no influence on me. What does influence me is that I want to see your smug face smeared across the wall, pleading to die so that you realise your place under me."
I starred at him with a blank face for a few seconds. "You have some serious issues."
His face went cold. "Take care of this idiot, he's already boring me." He started to head to the door. One of the guards pushed me against the wall and put his pistol against the side of my head. Right when he was standing inside the doors he turned back and said, "I never gave you my name, it's Nick. I hope you enjoyed my casino." He left the door open behind him, and the guard pulled the trigger.
*click*
*click*
*click**click**click**click*
The gun kept misfiring. The guard then broke one of the key rules of fire arm safety, he pointed the gun at himself to check whats wrong.
*BANG*
The gun finally went off and got him right in the shoulder. He retracted from the pain, and I made a run for the door.
Part way down the hall I sprinted past Nick and yelled back to him, "This must be my lucky day at the casino!" Sadly, I wasn't able to see the look on his face, but I imagine it must have been quite a sight. The second guard was right behind me, I was never the best athlete so I was suprised to be able to stay ahead of him.
I made it into the main room of the casino, no one seeming to care about the crazy ginger being chased by the incredible hulk. Making a final sprint for the doors out I felt the guards hand brush against my back in an attempt to grab my shirt. Getting close to the door it automatically opened, breaking down part way through, only leaving enough room for me.
Entering the Neon lit outside, I looked for a place to run while the guard began prying the door open. A black car pulled up to the entrance, and the window came down. There was a strange women inside. "Travis I..."
"Talk later drive now!" I jumped into the car, but she stayed put. "Please drive."
She cleared her throat, "As I was saying, I am a member of an orginization. We are called the Mythological Creature Club. We are aware that you are a Leprechaun and located you here with a device in our possession. We wanted to offer you membership."
"Yes fine, go!" The guard was almost through the door.
"No questions?" She asked.
"Nope, now if you don't mind lets go off to see the Magic Animal Team."
"Close enough, we'll head to the airport. We have a flight to Virginia waiting there."
She drove away while I watched the guard chase after the car in vein.
