Ten of Diamonds.

A worried Monika pulls her card and flips it over.

“Ten of Diamonds.” Orterres claps his hands in victory. “Fuck yeah!”

“Damn it all!” Monika angrily kicks the side of the gangster's desk with her heels. She never would have made such a stupid wager if she ever thought she could actually lose. The bounty hunter knows she got cocky and the cards are now making her pay for her arrogance.

“So Chichotas, what was the wager,” Orterres crows, “something about 'any way I want it?'”

“Don't worry, I always pay my debts.” Monika's teeth clench at what she has to say next. “How do you want to do this?”

“More like 'do you.'” Orterres gloats, “Oh Carmesí, I'm going to so enjoy fucking that arrogant look off your face.” But I am not without compassion for a defeated woman.” He slaps Monika's ass. “I have a counter offer. One that's gracious and will encourage you in your upcoming duties.”

“What is it?” Monika asks with a grimace.

“If you have the right attitude and work really hard at pleasing me, I might just let you have the pass for 1,000 gold.”

“But that's all my money!” Monika protests. “And I haven't even begun the job!”

“Not my problem Chichotas.” Orterres takes a drink from the gin bottle. “I'm sure you can find way of using that body of yours to bring in coin. I know I can think of several. But we digress, do you want to work for the pass or not?”

“Fine.” The bounty hunter grumbles, knowing she has little choice.

“Well then let's get started. Get off my desk and stand in front it, I want to get a good look at my winnings.”

With a frustrated huff Monika pushes off and walks around to the front of the gangster's desk. Putting her hands on her hips she strikes a defiant pose.

Kicking his feet up Orterres leans back with the bottle. “Think of this as an audition, Chichotas, for a job you desperately must have, through a boss that needs to be fully entertained and completely satisfied. So dance for me, Carmesí, dance, let me see you work those curves.” The gangster takes another drink, thoroughly enjoying every second of Monika's humiliating predicament. “And while you're at it, take your clothes off too.”
