An older man who looks bored.

The choice of people gets more and more limited by the minute. You try to figure out who might have enough coins in their pockets to go for such a trade...

"Sir?" you approach an older man in a fine suit who undeniably has a belly but still exudes the confidence of a person with power and financial success in his business life. He also seems a bit bored with what is going on around him.

He looks towards you.

"I am a bit short on coins and I was wondering if you might be interested in..."

He raises his hand. "Not interested in men," he interrupts you indignant. You startle, then chuckle nervously. "I wasn't talking about myself," you add hastily. "I wondered if you might be interested in... using my wife later?"

He raises an eyebrow. "You must be either truly **** - or this must be your special kink. Either way - I don't see her with you, and if I guess correctly, you're a newcomer, which almost certainly means you were seperated from your wife."

Oh, this is how it goes? The newbies have to adhere to special rules?

"You are right, Sir. But if I understood correctly, we will be reunited later, right? So I can still offer her to you..." You fumble in your pockets for a picture of Megan and finally find a small one that you kept as a memory. You are both a few years younger, but that doesn't hurt in this situation. As you hand the picture over, you see a glimmer of intrigued interest in the man's eyes. Bingo.

He still plays cool, hands you back the picture and then shrugs. "Not sure," he says. "How much do you need?"

"2000 coins," you reply. You actually need less, but if you gamble, you should go the whole way. A few heartbeats pass and you fear you have overplayed your hand, when the man reaches into his pocket and produces the coins you asked for. As he pours them into your hand, you wonder if regulars also get more coins from the beginning and the whole setup was... well, a set-up.

He also hands you a piece of paper. "Sign here," he adds. "Those kind of deals are taken very seriously here. So this is a sealed deal now." You only hesitate for a very short moment before scribbling your signature.

"Looking forward to meet you and your lovely wife on the other side," the man says and then walks toward the gate. You follow him. As you hand the guard the coins and he lets you walk through to the inner sanctum, you wonder how Megan will react to this...

But at least you made it.
