You have tested your luck for far too long already. There's no way you can win more. Playing and losing credits is one thing. Losing your hard-earned cash is another. You can't risk it. If today was any indication of how bad your luck is, you need to quit while you're ahead. You select the option to cash out and take your card with you to locate someone. Anyone who is not the crazy top hat man. Just a single person who worked there to help you out. You would think with their bright red attire, you'd be able to clock them from a mile away. You walk around but don't see anyone. No one serving drinks even. Which is also a shame because you could go for another.
You try to find a counter. Maybe there will at least be a phone you could use. You walk around row after row of machines before you finally come to a desk. As your luck would have it, there is no one behind the counter. However, you do see a phone. You look around and still see no employees. You are an official customer. You should be allowed to use the phone. Wouldn't hurt anything to reach around and use the phone. It was an emergency, after all.
You pick up the phone and dial out to your mother's number. She answers on the first ring. A pout comes across your lips. Were they ignoring you? Sure, you only ever really called them when you wanted money. But this time was different. You wanted food. And money. And you are broken down on the side of the road.
"Hello?" She says cheerfully.
"Ma." You croak. "I need help."
"What?" She sounds a little confused, "What number are you calling from? Where are you?"
"I'm stuck on the side of the road between The Greens and Walfred. I took a turn down a side highway. I thought it would get me home faster. Anyway, my car broke down. I need you guys to come help me." You explain your entire situation to her. She is more sympathetic than your father by a long shot.
"We're on our way!" She finally declares. "Don't go anywhere!"
You could almost laugh as she hangs up. Where else are you meant to go?
You've got about an hour to kill. And fifteen dollars threatening to burn a hole in your pocket. You are very tempted to play again. You could win big. Or maybe you should go out to your car to wait for your parents.
