InsaniKey 2

I glanced around the table and nobody else seemed to have heard it. In fact, time seemed to have messed up as the dealer handed me my second card, this time giving me a blackjack instead of 19.

I looked over my shoulder for anybody, anything familiar and saw Jinxx about to sit down at a poker table in the distance, looking ridiculous in a pair of gold rimmed sunglasses.

I took my winnings, heading toward the poker tables.

“Of course you’d have to sit with the high rollers in the gaudiest shades imaginable.” I sat down a chair away from him.

“It was all they had in the gift shop.” He said through gritted teeth.

I handed him my mirrored sunglasses.

“What’re you going to wear?” Jinxx folded his arms.

“CC doesn’t need shades.” Ashley sat down on the other side of Jinxx. “He was born to bullshit.” He teased.

I rolled my eyes. “Where’s Rebecca?”

“Who?” He shook his head as though he didn’t know what I was talking about.

“The dancer.” I smirked.

“I just left my room.” Ashley shrugged, piling a stack of chips before him.

“Da fuq?” I restacked my chips, clenched and unclenched my jaw. “You two are seriously out to fuck with me all weekend, aren’t you?”

Jinxx shrugged and smiled. “Maybe she’s in his room.”

Ashley smirked until he saw I was serious. “I don’t know a Rebecca.”

“You were standing with her a moment ago when I was playing blackjack?” I looked back at the table I’d been sitting at, now empty. The dealer had left.

Ashley raised his glasses and looked me in the eyes. “I’m not fucking with you.”

I looked at Jinxx. “I saw her leave with you a minute ago.” I looked around again. Neither of them said anything and I lost my first hand of the night.

I was cashing my chips in when I remembered what Rebecca had said to me. Fuck, I can’t go back to my room, where am I supposed to sleep tonight?

“Hey Ash.” I thought aloud, returning to the poker tables.

Of course when I got there, he and Jinxx were already gone.

And of course, when I asked to be moved to a different hotel room none were available, nobody was texting me back and nobody was answering their door.
