The Dark Ones

Part 2

CHAPTER 2 - The Casino

After waking up with a terrible headache, Connor opened his eyes only to realise he was back in his bed, with every memory from last night intact, from the star crashing in his garden, to the strange man putting him to bed and leaving a note on his bedside table. With the sudden realisation of what was done last night, he checked his bedside table, where his glasses, a clock and a note sat.. waiting.. 1:45pm. Not another word said, the glasses went on and the note was being read

"Hello, how's your head after last night? Doesn't matter, you can tell me when we see each other at the casino. 10pm, be there.." The next part of the letter was written in purple "..or else. - S" Connor found himself panicking about the 'or else' part of that letter and threw on his clothes and made a break for the door, no breakfast or a conversation with the mother, just out the door.  Once he had got a reasonable distance away from his house, he remembered that he needed a new vape, preferably from the closest vape shop, cheap and second hand, but damn, were they cheap, cheap as dirt, so Connor found himself walking a good 30 minutes to the nearest vape shop and taking a good hour to browse and buy himself a vape. listen I know this is filler but I don't really feel like I should have a massive time skip, so bare with me.. anyway.. Several hours go by and the time is 9:45pm and Connor was nearing the casino walls.

CHAPTER 3 - The Boss

Tall, dark ominous walls and towers hang over the poor kid as he ventures ever closer to the meeting place of the one who he only knew at this time a S. The doors came ever closer to Connor.. because he was moving towards them, its not rocket science.. He was greeted by a bouncer not taller than 5'11", bald, broad shoulders, muscular with lime green eyes and a somewhat similar skin tone to Connor, it was also worth noting that he had a very strange tattoo on the top of his right wrist, the same side as the back of his right hand, He was wearing a white collared shirt with the top two buttons undone, purple trousers and waistcoat, with black pointed shoes

"Can I help you?.." he had a very heavy northern accent and a naturally deep voice, it was only fitting for a guy of his size and stature "..If not then you can fuck off, you don't look 18, so if you're just here to piss me off you've done well!" His tone was hostile and filled with what could easily been seen as fake rage, but Connor didn't recognise and spoke up.

"For the record, I'm 19, so before you start poking fingers at me, try poking it up yer jacksy you twat!.." Once he had gotten that out of his system, he cleared his throat and spoke again. "..Anyway, I'm here to see.. S? I think his name is, yeah. I'm here to see S" he spoke with confidence the second time round, despite the level of confusion in the situation at hand. Once he had heard 'S', the bouncer became submissive and immediately opened the door to the casino and ushered Connor in.

"Come on in, we've been expecting you.." Connor walked in and the bouncer followed, as they were going from the front to the back, Conner couldn't help but notice all the drunks and cheats that were in this place, it was unbelievable that so many people are taking risks that could potentially ruin their life, but he didn't mind it too much, he just focused on getting to where he needed to be. The bouncer looked over to the bar and nodded at a specific bartender who then nodded back and went into the boss' office, Connor noticed that the bartender who walked off had a similar tattoo on his wrist to the bouncer. 'Could they be a couple? Nah, that's just the weirdest idea I could think of' Connor found himself lost in thought until he looked up and saw that the bouncer then did the same thing to a dealer who was handing out the cards for a game of blackjack and she rushed to the boss' office with incredible speed, she too had a similar tattoo on her wrist, 'this is definitely a threesome up in this bitch, but something seems off.'  The two found themselves nearing the boss' office like the previous two had already done, at this point Connor was thinking the worst, but all he could do was brave it, the bouncer walked up to the door, turned the handle and the both entered.. then an all too familiar voice for Connor 

"Ah! Finally, I've been expecting you"
