Into deception

Casino roulette

"Okay take this" Will says handing me an earpiece, I put it in touching up my hair along the way making sure it covers it perfectly "everything you say, everything he says will come back to us"

I smile at him as he tries explaining it to me like I'm 5, he looks up when he hears me chuckle realizing that this isn't my first rodeo "shit my bad Mia"

"You can't be too careful, it's fine"

He looks up giving me a gentle nod.

"So, where's Ray"

"On another rooftop with a better view, but he's listening"

"So Ray, from the scale of 'I can't even shoot a target 4 feet from me' to 'I've practiced time to time' where exactly does your old ass stand?" I bite back my smile as Will laughs looking behind at some buildings, in a matter of seconds a red dot begins running over my arm, trailing down to my finger tips before landing on my middle finger. We both burst out laughing following the red dot as it still continues to trail past the trash that is littered across the wet floor wildly, finally though it stops, balancing itself onto a bear glass and in a blink of an eye it's blown clean off.

"Show off" I roll my eyes, it's creepy knowing every move I make, from now to the very end will be the main attraction. I want to make a joke about how Bane is probably used to spying on me so it must be natural on his end but I smartly refrain from doing so for many reasons "okay we'll meet back in the ally afterwards"

"Actually, a car will be waiting for you when you get out"

"Even better"

He nods agreeing completely "Stay safe"

"Always" I wrap my coat tighter around myself as I make my way across the road where the casino is. It's hard to miss really, I mean with the whole red and black lighting theme happening in the dimly lit roads it's like staring at a diamond next to grey rocks, my point is they know how to look extra and they sure as hell know how to throw a party.

I step inside and immediately the herds of people make you wanna take a step out to catch a simple breath, it's completely packed. Some are playing cards, others stay put drinking at the mini bar and everyone else simply seem to be in their own world, I take my coat off hanging it on the already overloaded coat hanger as I begin my search for the main man himself. As I walk deeper in, passing by the many rows of busy tables some men seem to stare like they can't choose between wanting to drool or call me a whore, interesting group for sure.

"Look at the people winning, everytime they do they seem to always stare in one direction" Banes voice rolls over my body out of nowhere, my skin flushes waves of warm fire at the thought of him being this close to me. Honestly, I didn't quite think about having his voice be the sound focus of this mission, it's like he's right next to me. The only thing missing is his body, ironic really.

Before completely losing my mind I set myself to count each camera, guards in the room. It doesn't take long to see what Bane was talking about though, every guy in here who gets lucky seems to snap their necks to one man in particular each time. So that's exactly where I head for. I make my way towards his crowded table watching his every move, his every blink, his every breath.

I've got to say though, the ladies weren't kidding when they said he was built godly.

When I'm finally in front of him his eyes gaze straight up at mine, as if knowing I'd be exactly where he looked. His hand trails across his face as he places his pointer finger on his lips thinking about something, I on the other hand look down at the guy who's sat right in front of him with his back turned to me switching his cards in his hands continuously. Vikram smiles against his hand as he tries to read me from what I'm seeing but I hold my own gaze not looking away. Everything seems to have gotten hotter, denser, fuller as he watches me and after a minute straight, I smile. He mirrors my grin, pushing all his coins to the middle with ease, the man halts however but as if finishing with his secret prayer to above, he does the very same.
