THE CROWD ROARED WHEN WE stepped into the casino. Some of them calling our names resulting smiles on our faces. We halted into a stop all a sudden. I peeked pass Danny to see Merritt arguing with one of the agents.'Oh great,' I thought.
"What's going on?" Jack asked behind me.
"Merritt."
Jack nodded promptly.
I tapped my foot impatiently when I heard someone calling my name beside me. I turned to face the voice and saw a little boy beaming at me with a pen and notebook in his hands.
"You want me to sign it?" I asked the boy.
He replied by nodding his head. I dropped down to my knees.
"Its really hard to sign in these handcuffs." I told the boy.
The boy motioned to try. He gave me his pen.
"Okay," I held it. "Turn the notebook around please." The boy followed.
The pen touched the notebook and swirled.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I signed a notebook in handcuffs.
I felt the pen taken out of my grip. The boy went to my side and showed me my signature. Frankly speaking, it looked horrible.
"Oh, that's horrible." I commented. The boy bowed his head down. I frowned, feeling bad for him. Then, an idea popped into my mind. I grinned at it. I motioned him to come closer and I whispered into his ear. "There will be a second act in New Orleans. I could give you a free ticket for you and your family and sign your notebook properly." I smiled at him. "What do you say, bud?"
He nodded and gave me a toothy grin.
"What's your name?"
"Charles." He replied in a small voice.
"Well, Charles, I am looking forward to meeting you in New Orleans!"
Charles wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me a hug.
"Stand up." Someone said and roughly pushing me down.
"Hey!" Jack yelled beside me. "Don't do that to her!"
I looked up to see one of the shit-faced agents grinning and looking proud of what he's done. My eyes shifted to Charles, who fell on his butt, and his eyes looking at me.
I crawled towards him when the agent pulled me back.
"Let go of me!" I yelled at the agent. "Charles, hey," I called out to him. "Are you okay, buddy?"
He replied by pointing at his bottom and shook his head.
I turned to face the agent. "You've just hurt a little boy, agent." I said bitterly. In the corner of my eye, I could see Jack comforting Charles. "What do you have to say for yourself?"
The agent shrugged with a teasing grin on his face.
That's it, he crossed the line.
I rose up to my feet and jumped on the agent, knocking him down. I elbowed him in the ribs."You." Jab. "Little." Jab. "Piece." Jab. "Of." Jab. "Shit.". I was about to continue elbowing him when two people pulled me back. "You're disgrace." I spat at him. Everyone was quiet. They were all looking at the scene I made. My eyes drifted to Charles, who was now with his parents.
