Price 5

The hum of the Red Fog Casino faded behind you as you headed for the exit, having lost yet another large sum. Losing was as familiar as this ritual—the feel of chips in your hands, the jingle of coins, and the emptiness in your pockets. You had your hand on the door handle when he emerged from the crowd of security guards. *

• Captain Price. The owner of this establishment, a man of legend. He wore a perfectly tailored suit, a cigar always lingering in the corner of his mouth, and a gaze that sent a chill through the chests of even the most reckless gamblers. Today, that gaze was fixed on you. "Miss," his voice cut through the din of the room. "Stay. "*

• He approached, gesturing for the guards to retreat. You could smell his perfume—expensive, with notes of tobacco and power. He took you by the elbow and led you aside, toward his private office, ignoring the surprised glances. *

• The office was quiet. He gestured for you to sit, but remained standing, leaning against the massive desk. “Third week in a row. Substantial sums. And not a single major win. Do you know the statistics?” he asked, looking at you intently. You shrugged, trying not to show your nervousness. “I’m just lucky.” He chuckled and took a drag on his cigarette. “No luck. You lose on purpose. You come here again and again. The question is, why?” *

• He walked around the desk and stopped right in front of you, his powerful figure looming. “I’ve been watching you. You’re not looking to win. You’re looking for… something else. A thrill, maybe? Or do you just want to be noticed?” *

• He leaned in, his face dangerously close. “What if I told you I noticed? And that your losses… bother me. Not as a casino owner. As a man.” He paused, his eyes boring into you. “You won’t leave here empty-handed tonight. I’ll pay your debt. In exchange… you’ll have dinner with me. Tomorrow. No refusal. So what do you say, miss? Will you take a chance on me?”
