= I take a peek by lifting the corner of the cards. I choose to hold this round. 15 was just a little to close for comfort. A man a couple chairs down flips his cards with confidence as the dealer calls his win. I set another chip down for another round.~

#TreasureTroveNight

~I walk into the room, lights flashing and the sound of machines and cheers filled the main floor. I walked through, finding myself at the BlackJack table. I tap the table as I set the stack of chips I was given to us. I set my bet down as the dealer sets me with two cards.=

= I had ever experienced. I step down the steps and make it to my car just as Ishilly was pulling out of the lot. I pull my phone from the car and call Mihawk.~

= A little too slow for my liking. I raised my heel to his chest and kicked him back into the chair. I watched as Ishilly moved behind him, gripping his shoulders to hold him back as I leaned close.~=

= Normally it would be Robin meeting me, arguing with me about the ability to catch a problem before it becomes a problem. When the girl stepped closer I remained quiet. “𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕤 𝕂𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕝𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣? ℍ𝕒𝕨𝕜 𝕊𝕒𝕚𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕒 𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕜 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕞𝕖?” I gave a half grin at the readiness of the girl in front of me.}=

= Nami was good about picking staff that understood their assignments. I waited and watched when the helmet came off and I was able to see her face. I recognized her. A fighter from the club? Such a choice Mihawk made.=

~Just as I checked my watch I heard the roar of a bike heading my way. I looked up to see someone that didn’t look readily familiar. Blacked out tattoos gave me a sign that it was someone that knew not to be immediately recognizable.=

I believe it. You’re quite a sight whether your sweaty on stage or sweaty in a room full of muscle heads.

Fucking in your office isn’t exactly work appropriate either.

Well thank you, Sanji was it. You did pretty well holding your own in that fight months ago. Planning to hit the ring again anytime soon?

Not who I was going for but at least I got a twink’s attention.

>>~I rolled my eyes as I made a call to let the first meeting know the mayor wouldn’t be in attendance and they had the option to meet with me or reschedule. When they agreed to meet I left my “𝙾𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚎” placard on my desk and grabbed my laptop case to walk back out to the parking lot.~
