Crush knocked on the door in the back of the bar and it slowly opened. The man protecting the door looked him over, then asked, “Let him in?”

“Of course.”

Crush walked into the room. He could tell from the general funk that an all-night poker game had been going on. But as soon as he stepped in, most of the players picked up their winnings and headed out the door into the alley behind the bar.

Dave “Charming” Lepke smiled at Crush. “Come on in.”

Crush walked in, making sure to check the dark corners and behind the door before moving across the room to stand in front of the well-known gambler turned bookie. In his late sixties, with a full head of white hair, Charming still had the imposing build and attitude of a man who used to break guys’ arms for being late paying back their gambling debts.

“I was hoping to buy in,” Crush told him, holding up a wad of money. “But everybody ran away.”

“You should be used to that.”

“I never really get used to it.”

“Your money’s no good here and you know it.”

“I know. And yet I’m here. Don’t you wonder why?”

Charming studied him for a bit before he motioned his man out. Looking at Crush and back at his boss, the bodyguard asked, “You sure?”

“I’m sure.”

With a warning glare at Crush, he walked out, the door closing behind him.
