Lucas Collins is what you may call a gambler. But not a typical gambler, like a poker player that'll spend all day pouring money down the drain. If you held a gun to his head and threatened to shoot, he'd probably let you.
Yet if you held a gun to Maci Augustine's head, she would probably talk her way out of it and even find a way to convince you to turn the gun onto yourself. In her own way, much like Lucas, you could also call her a gambler.
So together, is a duo that could be unbeatable. You can call them The Gamblers.
