Will Jackson's alarm clock went off and he rolled over to shut it off. He yawned, stretched, then stepped out of bed. He showered, brushed his teeth, then changed into a pair of blue jeans and a black short-sleeved shirt that showed off his muscular arms. He put on a sleeveless jean jacket with a pair of cards stitched on the back. Under it was emblazoned the words Royal Flush, his gang. The cards showed a royal flush hand. He combed his hair and went to the garage. He took a wooden stand and three cards and carried them to a street corner and laid the three cards face down on it, dealing them out like an expert. He turned to the people and began to talk to them as they walked back. "Sir, would you like to try your luck at Three Card Monte? $100 profit if you guess your card right." The man hurried past. Will leaned against the wall and continued to talk to people.

Micah heard her alarm clock ring. She got up, got dressed, put on her signature drivers glove and put a small ear-piece to communicate with will in her ear, and grabbed her solid metal baseball bat, opening her apartment window, and climbing out. "Slide down to the third floor, from my 5th, jump off, grab the small window ledge, pull up, climb up on the roof, and run across the rooftops, leap to the local corner store, and sit on the corner, keep an eye on Will." Her mind thought, even though it was so memorized she could run through it, a full mile, in just 2 minutes. She sat, watching the game playing out below. If Will needed anything, he would message her.

Will turned to Alexis as she pulled up in her black motorcycle. "Pretty good. Just trying to hustle some business." Someone stepped up to the stand. He flipped all of the cards over in one swipe, a master's trick. "Pick a card, ma'am." She pointed to the 4 of diamonds. "Very good. There's a $100 reward if you win." He flipped over the cards in one swipe and shuffled them with great speed. He then stopped. "Choose a card." She pointed to the card on the right. He flipped it over. 'It was the two of clubs. "Ooh, sorry. Would you like to play again?" She shook her head and walked away. He flipped the card back over and waited for more business. "Nice bike."

"Thanks,where're the rest?"She said,tying her hair into a ponytail."What are we gonna do today?Anything fun?Just staying here and trying to get business isn't much fun...Anyways,how's business goin?Need some help?I'm itching for some card games"She grinned.She loved playing with cards since she was young,it was when she dropped out of school that she really got the chance to do some card business.

Will shrugged. "Don't know where Micah and John are. I don't know what we're going to do today. You can go tooling around on your bike. Business is going OK. I'm a born hustler." He pulled a deck of cards and flipped them all up in the air. He caught them all with one hand in a neat stack and returned them to his pocket "There's a card game down at Tony's Restaurant. $50 buy in." He hustled some more business and made some more money. He had enough to get him through the week.

"Great!Wanna come along to Tony's?We'll split the winnings,I'm pretty sure we can win.After all,the few of us are one of the best around here,together with Micah and John."She smiles and winked at Will.She needed more money too.Petrol,food,and everything...

Micah, seeing they were clear, rolled, falling and landing on her feet. She put her bat on her shoulder. "Hey guys. I'm here, where's John?"

Will thought about it. "All right. Sure. We'll take it all though." He winked back and turned to his scout. "Micah, watch my stand. Make sure it doesn't get vandalized. I don't know where John is." He took the money and got on the back of the bike. "Let's rock and roll."

"See ya, Micah!Hold on tight!"She whizzed off and headed for Tony's restaurant.They stopped and parked in front of the restaurant.Alexis took off her helmet and went in."Hey Tony!"She shouted."What's up, Alexis?Here for the game?"Tony answered back."The name's Alex"She growled back,she hated it when people call her Alexis.

Will stepped off the bike. "Tony, what's up?" "William!" He exchanged a street handshake with him. "It's Will, Antonio." Tony smiled. Everyone knew Tony liked to call people by the name they hated. Will took Alex's arm and led her inside. He dropped it and they headed into the back room. Will tossed a Benjamin on the table. "Buy-in for both of us." They nodded. Will took a chair out. "Ladies first." He smiled at her. Hed let Alex go first and take half, then he'd go and take the rest.

"Sure,thanks,bud."She went in and they started the game.A fat guy started dealing the cards.She took her cards and looked at them.She smiled.

Will leaned against the wall. Alex was a card shark, and he knew that she would own these guys. He'd just sit back and watch the fun.

Micah went back into the alleyway to investigate a noise, and was jumped. A man with a knife grabbed her from behind, holding the knife at her throat. "Hey, that's my stand now." Micah simply laughed, and crouched, throwing him forwards and upside down. After that, a swift sharp smack to the temple with her baseball bat, and he was out. She hoped he wasn't dead, but frowned when she saw blood trickle from a point in which his head was batted in. She dragged him into a shadow, and returned to the stand.

"This is gonna be a sure win,"Alex thought as she finished the last game of the first half.She grinned."Your turn,Will."

Will nodded and sat down where she had sat. He chose five cards and began to play. He was easily dominating, and had taken most of the money on the table. By the end of the game, Will and Alex had all the money. Someone stood up. 'You cheated. I don't know how you did it, but you cheated." Everyone was nodding. Will sensed trouble. "Alex, outside now." He walked out with Alex and turned to the men. "Alex, go. I'll cover you.' He assumed a fighting stance as the men closed in. One thre a punch aimed at his face, but Will ducked under itand rocked him with an uppercu. He whipped around with a spin-kick that knocked a second man to the ground. He ducked a kick and double pumped the man.

Alex went out and started her motorcycle,as she did,she saw Will coming out,still fighting with the guys,"Will!C'mon!"She shouted,beckoning Will to get on her vehicle.

Will ducked another punch and kicked him in the side of the shin, punched him in the gut, then close-lined him. The last guy drew a knife and swung it at him. Will got cut across the bridge of the nose and was bleeding. He jumped back to avoid another slash and grabbed hi wrist. He kneed him in the gut twice, then decked him straight in the face, knocking him back. He watched the knife clatter across the asphalt. He wiped the blood from his eyes and got on her bike. "Go!"

Alex drove the vehicle at a high speed all the way to her apartment.She got down and went in."C'mon,let's get you cleaned up"They entered the apartment and Alex went to get the first aid box.She took out the antiseptic lotion and began to apply it on Will's wound."It'll sting quite a bit,bear with it."She then took out a band-aid and placed it on Will's wound."There,want something to drink?"

Will didn't flinch as she applied the lotion. "Yeah, sure. Got a beer?" He laid back. "I'm used to this kinda shit. At least we got the money. That's all that matters." He stretched out and waited for her to bring him a beer.
