Play on

The writing is on the wall, you're going to lose and find yourself under the table sucking Mike's cock but until you're actually out of chips all you can do is play on. You fold early on the next two games, you can't afford to waste chips when the cards you start off with are so bad but your small pile of chips is only getting smaller and you'll have to take a chance soon or you'll just end up running out of chips by default.

You're intense concentration on the game is broken suddenly when the door to the Gambling Den is flung open hard and to your surprise you see an enraged Arlene enter. "What the fuck are you doing you stupid little bitch?" She yells at you as she approaches.

"U-um well" You start but are cut off by Arlene.

"Betting sexual favors in this dive? You are Ralph's girlfriend, don't you have any consideration for his reputation? How would he be able to walk around this camp with his head held high after that?" Arlene asks.

Does she actually expect you to answer? You guess it's rhetorical and just hang your head in contrition.

"Sorry to hear that about your boy Arlene but this slut made the bet fair and square." Mike chimes in, looking forward to his victory and collecting his winnings.

"Yes she did but I cannot let her lose. No hard feelings Mike." Arlene states whilst putting a carrier bag full of chips beside you.

"What the fuck is this?" Mike demands.

"It's not my first time here and I'm not a useless loser like our friend here. Sorry Mike but I can't let you win." Arlene says.

"Goddammit." Mike exclaims.

Holy crap, Arlene has just bailed you out. Being that mentally handicapped tub of lard's girlfriend actually has some benefits though the furious looks Arlene is giving you makes you think this will come at some cost. With your chip count increased significantly you manage to remain in the game until the Gambling Den closes, so a draw is declared. You didn't manage to win cigarettes for your new friends but you don't have to put Mike's cock in your mouth either.

Outside the Den, Arlene gives you a piece of her mind and slaps you hard across the face. You're put on notice that you are expected to consider Ralph's reputation with everything you do. Arlene frogmarches you to her and Ralph's home which is also where you'll be living from now on.
