3:40pm

"Take a seat, well this is a friendly game we don't need last names," Moisey said, showing a hand gesture. 

Fangs, smiled, pulled up a chair. "Romeo," Fangs said confidently, revealing his chosen undercover name.

The dimly lit room was filled with anticipation as the players gathered around the table. Toni, shuffled the deck with precision. 

"Any bets?" Noah said, a mischievous in his eyes.

"Noah, you dirty player, this is supposed to be a friendly game," Moisey retorted, irritated.

"Friendly games can have a little dirt," Noah responded with a sly grin.

"Fine, bets on, any offer," Moisey challenged, crossing his arms.

"I want her," Augustus chimed in, pointing towards Toni, stunning lady behind the table.

"What do you mean, her?" Fangs asked, curious.

"I want to win her over," Augustus replied, his eyes filled with determination.

"I'm sorry, hotshot, but I'm taken," Toni interrupted, coyly showing her ring finger. "It's about 600 million per diamond," she added, turning her hand towards her and admiring the sparkling ring.

The room fell silent as the reality sunk in. Augustus shrugged "Hm, I can get you 9," Augustus added, examining an exquisite diamond ring. 

Toni looked at it longingly, her heart yearning for something more profound than just jewelry. 

"My love for him is much deeper than this ring," she said, her eyes filled with sincerity.

Fangs intervened, his voice firm, "My wife is not up for grabs." 

"Just one night, a dinner. That or, her ring and your watch," Augustus proposed, his eyes fixed on Toni.  Fangs looked at Toni.

She weighed her options carefully, realizing the potential danger of losing the ring but also the opportunity to get closer to Augustus.

"I'll go on the date," Toni finally agreed, a determined look in her eyes. Fangs glanced again, silently acknowledging her decision. He knew she had her reasons. He knew the significance of that ring to Toni and understood that she couldn't risk losing it due to an undercover job. 

"But one rule, the date is tomorrow at 8," Toni negotiated. 

"7," Augustus quickly countered.

"7, and that's final, or you can Ice it," Toni said firmly.

"Deal," Augustus agreed. 

"Well, let the shark cards begin," Moisey chimed in, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

7:30

Toni skillfully shuffled the deck and distributed the cards to everyone seated around the dimly lit poker table. The tension in the room was palpable as the players eagerly anticipated their next move.

"Hit me," Augustus declared, his voice laced with confidence. 

Toni obliged and flipped over a card, revealing an ace. But before Augustus could react, he swiftly changed his mind. 

"Fold," he confessed, much to the surprise of the other players.

"Fold," echoed George, his piercing eyes locked onto the cards in his hand. 

Noah, however, decided to test his luck and requested another card, to which Toni obliged by sliding one across the table. "Safe," Noah muttered, seemingly content with his decision.
