Slap me" Clive requested Alan
Alan did slap him without thinking twice, not that hard but hard enough to draw attention.

"OUCH!!....I at least expected you to take a consent." Clive said rubbing his slapped cheek
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz4KZRqVUc
"Eh, boring. And it was you who already asked for it." Alan said
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5OVtFUYA
Raj and Rafiq were already seated in the cab. Alan took his seat while Clive reluctantly entered and sat beside Raj.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8v8FhBWjH
As Clive sat down, he immediately looked up to see the driver's face who was staring back already with a wide smile. Clive choked a bit on his own saliva.

"Good evening, gentlemen. Jackpot Casino isn't it?" The driver asked, positioning his rear view mirror only to focus it on Clive.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDgZOBYmk
Clive felt really uncomfortable, and found it hard to breathe under that heavy coat.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpF7bFXzku
"Yes sir." Rafiq confirmed
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkDCvCbnpg
And off they were, it was a quick 20 minutes ride to the casino. The driver too was quite friendly. Everything seemed to go well. Clive finally felt a bit relieved and tried opening up. The other three were busy gossiping about how hopeless our fellow colleagues were in terms of their work and behaviour.

The wheel screeched, as the driver hit the brakes right in front of the main entrance of the Casino.
They all got out, and as they were about to enter the main hall a receptionist stopped them at the door.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtygkSMLwVm
"On whose name is the booking done, sir?" He asked, holding an ipad with a list displayed on it
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vPjXVHn3r
"It would be Mr.Alan." Rafiq said looking around at the fancy place
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjeY6BHWkj
The receptionist, looked up and gave a slight stern look to all four of them and again checked the list
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfVNkD86I
"This way gentlemen, follow me" He smiled
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrhrSot40g
" Did you book something special by mistake?" Rafiq asked bending towards Alan.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDOpI6QUZN
"Trust me for the price I have booked, not even an additional drink is complementary." Alan said quietly maintaining a straight face.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEutl2cFCF
Nevertheless all four of them followed the receptionist, who in regular intervals turned back ensuring we kept up to his pace. It felt like walking straight into a maze, each hallway leading to many more. Each turn reveals new paths.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBpuEtuKvb
"How long now?" Raj asked, as he was the last of the four of us in line.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsycSuDbOV
"Wait for it, I promise you won't regret it, sir." Said the receptionist as he finally stepped inside a room. He flicked on the lights as all the other four finally entered the room.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd8wfS0ky1
"That's it?" Alan asked " An empty hall? Can't we just go back to the normal casino?"
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVprn3uATB
"Who said this was a normal Casino?" The receptionist turned towards us.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8MWfAXQkY
"Huh?" Rafiq gasped
"What do you mean?" Clive asked
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgtrCqLm6y
That's when the lights went out.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dS5p2AixA
"What the hell?" Alan asked surprisingly.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcrj05lf8z
"I knew this was a bad idea. I KNEW IT." Clive began screaming
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly2495xbPm
Just then, a spotlight was turned on. It was shining on a cake kept on the counter.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFLS0ilbc5
"That's.... Unusual..." Alan said
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPcisU0nT
All four of them carefully walked towards the cake and saw what was written on it.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioIgN0yBa0
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMEO" This was written on the cake with dark red colour on the cake
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3xETFBWzr
"ROMEO? Who the hell is Romeo?" Clive asked
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqNNSKiVFJ
"I don't know who Romeo is, do any of you guys know?" Alan asked
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqafLOQWt
"Doesn't ring a bell." Rafiq said "Raj do you know him?" Raj didn't reply
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9jywmNkSN
"Umm Raj you there ? " Alan asked turning on his cell phones flashlight. Raj stood there silent as if his soul was ripped from his body. He just stood there staring at the name.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T2GoyUR02
"WELL WELL WELL Look who we have here!! Spent an entire decade scavenging for you, didn't expect you to walk straight into my den. Romeo Augustus Juke. Nice to meet you back RAJ."
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRClIH75tyT
We all turned back, only to listen a deep man's voice.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ef7GFGGpO
"Oh shit." Raj placed his hand on his forehead.
"The party has just begun."
