Slap me" Clive requested Alan
Alan did slap him without thinking twice, not that hard but hard enough to draw attention.

"OUCH!!....I at least expected you to take a consent." Clive said rubbing his slapped cheek
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLCCAhfgfA
"Eh, boring. And it was you who already asked for it." Alan said
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwkLGaut1R
Raj and Rafiq were already seated in the cab. Alan took his seat while Clive reluctantly entered and sat beside Raj.

As Clive sat down, he immediately looked up to see the driver's face who was staring back already with a wide smile. Clive choked a bit on his own saliva.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWq2wIaQ4V
"Good evening, gentlemen. Jackpot Casino isn't it?" The driver asked, positioning his rear view mirror only to focus it on Clive.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuYTgVtEYz
Clive felt really uncomfortable, and found it hard to breathe under that heavy coat.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GrD8oY6We
"Yes sir." Rafiq confirmed
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5P9MRbQRX
And off they were, it was a quick 20 minutes ride to the casino. The driver too was quite friendly. Everything seemed to go well. Clive finally felt a bit relieved and tried opening up. The other three were busy gossiping about how hopeless our fellow colleagues were in terms of their work and behaviour.

The wheel screeched, as the driver hit the brakes right in front of the main entrance of the Casino.
They all got out, and as they were about to enter the main hall a receptionist stopped them at the door.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB32hfco1d
"On whose name is the booking done, sir?" He asked, holding an ipad with a list displayed on it
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDO9LPvvYt
"It would be Mr.Alan." Rafiq said looking around at the fancy place
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKdRL6h5jh
The receptionist, looked up and gave a slight stern look to all four of them and again checked the list
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOHB74o3sf
"This way gentlemen, follow me" He smiled
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aEalHv8Vx
" Did you book something special by mistake?" Rafiq asked bending towards Alan.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x80YTuyPv
"Trust me for the price I have booked, not even an additional drink is complementary." Alan said quietly maintaining a straight face.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxegNuNGqI
Nevertheless all four of them followed the receptionist, who in regular intervals turned back ensuring we kept up to his pace. It felt like walking straight into a maze, each hallway leading to many more. Each turn reveals new paths.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97uhSZ91f
"How long now?" Raj asked, as he was the last of the four of us in line.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYLmIOGSEV
"Wait for it, I promise you won't regret it, sir." Said the receptionist as he finally stepped inside a room. He flicked on the lights as all the other four finally entered the room.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqkmMduqx
"That's it?" Alan asked " An empty hall? Can't we just go back to the normal casino?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7XlXRf87
"Who said this was a normal Casino?" The receptionist turned towards us.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ9Bqg5X1l
"Huh?" Rafiq gasped
"What do you mean?" Clive asked
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0LVzR3fwP
That's when the lights went out.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNsW2RFt4Q
"What the hell?" Alan asked surprisingly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5WbbSg5hy
"I knew this was a bad idea. I KNEW IT." Clive began screaming
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYJNsZ6NJW
Just then, a spotlight was turned on. It was shining on a cake kept on the counter.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMNmIzsBTl
"That's.... Unusual..." Alan said
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BdpFNsnJg
All four of them carefully walked towards the cake and saw what was written on it.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7giXfvwOif
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMEO" This was written on the cake with dark red colour on the cake
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ76XHZZlHK
"ROMEO? Who the hell is Romeo?" Clive asked
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y94ZBofsz
"I don't know who Romeo is, do any of you guys know?" Alan asked
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOZVjIsiXt
"Doesn't ring a bell." Rafiq said "Raj do you know him?" Raj didn't reply
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDsZtsY8w6
"Umm Raj you there ? " Alan asked turning on his cell phones flashlight. Raj stood there silent as if his soul was ripped from his body. He just stood there staring at the name.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZq5OyxMqZ
"WELL WELL WELL Look who we have here!! Spent an entire decade scavenging for you, didn't expect you to walk straight into my den. Romeo Augustus Juke. Nice to meet you back RAJ."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fzdSqqC1r
We all turned back, only to listen a deep man's voice.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjlS2dqjF
"Oh shit." Raj placed his hand on his forehead.
"The party has just begun."
