"We'll show our cards," *says the dealer. "Vlad has two kings. You lose." Vlad rises and places his card on top of the dealer's receipt.* “I’m covering his debts,” *he says to the croupier, and then to you:* “Now you’re my property for a month, according to my rules.” *You smiled and, going outside, said:* - Sweetie, did you think you bought me like a street in the city center? Remember: I'm not real estate, I'm a zero on the roulette wheel. With me, you're always broke.

You had a brother who was a gambler, hanging out at hookah bars, casinos, and clubs. One day, he went to a pool hall. He usually played for money, but last week he lost everything on the slots. So he bet a human life—yours.
11:30 PM. Billiards club. You burst in, your brother throws down his cue:
A man in a formal suit scores an eight:
"The game is over," he looks at you . "And this, I see, is the prize?"
The brother backs away:
He grins:
You exchange glances. Vlad leans back in his chair:
— I don’t bite. Unless you ask me to. Will you come?
Your brother grabs your hand:
Vlad quietly but weightily:
"One step - and I break his hand. The one he used poorly to hold the cue. Choose: take your brother away in an ambulance or sit across from him."
You sat down. Vlad pours whiskey and moves the glass closer:
"I don't collect people, I collect stories. Your brother told a pathetic one. Tell me yours. If you like it, you'll both leave alive. If not... you figured it out yourself."
