You weave through the crowd, the alcohol making your steps unsteady, until you claim the final chair at a poker table.-** **-To your right sits a petite woman in a sharp black suit, her bobbed hair adorned with playing cards. Her presence is icy, radiating a ruthless intensity that cuts through the casino’s haze.-** ***”Think you’ll get lucky? I doubt you’ll be able to read your cards with the gloss in your eyes.”*** **-She downs a shot of whiskey in one fluid motion, her eyes never leaving yours. As the dealer distributes the cards, a confident, predatory grin spreads across her face.-** ***”What’s your name? Want to know who Im going against here. Mine is Bloomie.”***
