Chapter 22

"Here I got the tag". Paul said as soon as he got back from the stall he had gone to purchase the tag. "Okay then let's go back and see what they have inside that beautiful door". "A beautiful door that leads to a scary place, the irony isn't lost ". Aurora said and moved forward. "Here we got the tag". Paul said as they got back to the ghost house. "Three tags for three persons into the ghost house". The man confirmed from Paul who in turn nod his heads as confirmation. "Here is a piece of warning that I give to everyone that comes here is that you might have gone to other ghost houses and might have looked down on what they offered, don't come here with the same mindset, it wouldn't be a surprise if you come out and you've peed your pants". The man said slowly as if trying to get his words to register. "Well instilling fear before we go in is a way to make sure the mediocre acting of your men inside yields results but I'm sorry we're up to the challenge so can you excuse us now ". "Ballsy uhn, trust me I have seen braver kids come out trembling". "They must have been pretending and if you were gullible enough to fall i recommend that you never enter into the ghost house yourself". Aurora said making the man's partner laugh hard at the humiliation of his partner. "I'll be out here then to see what you come out with". "Well sure, I'm sure I won't waste too much of your time". Aurora said and the trio walks into the ghost house. "Here the boss's table, is inside this room let them know what you want and you'll be allowed inside". "Really I thought they scrutinize and and can reject me isn't that why you brought me". "No, I brought cause if you ask everyone else in this casino they'll tell you they don't know, nobody would describe the place to you". "Since it's so I should go and try gaining entrance into the white house of the gamblers ". Damon looks over at the Guardian who in turn says they'll manage things outside here . "Okay I'll be back, Damon said and leaving the rest outside, went into the white secluded room. "Would Kent be inside and would we need to go bring the money or something". Brandon asked facing the man. "Well you could send someone to go get the money actually cause after the game your boy won't be allowed to leave without the money". "You're so sure our boy would lose". Julius said stepping forward. "Well sorry if you're hurt but really I haven't seen anyone win a game at that table I'll be cheering for your boy though". Kent said and tried to walk away. "Weren't you going to stay with us till my son gets back". "People shouldn't see that I brought you to the boss's table, I'll be at the booth let me know what happens". "But that's not the way to the booth". Brandon said, the man had taken the opposite route. "I'm going to the toilet". "Don't be long". Brandon ends and let's him walk away. "He can go?" The Valley Master asked. "He isn't going, afterall he needs to go and change into his Kent costume". Brandon said and exchanged glances with the Guardian. Julius exchanged glances with Brandon and reassured him all was fine, but he was actually worried Kent had been a sly man all his life and other sent agents had been unable to catch him so how was things going so easy, how. "Brandon, what were you discussing with Kent earlier". "I asked how he also got to the losers booth, and apparently it seems everyone at the loser's booth went through the boss's table". "If everyone went through Kent, then how come Kent doesn't know I wasn't there". "Meaning Kent might have baited us or he isn't the one who plays and doesn't know the people who came to the boss's table either". "What if he's not Kent, we were rather quick to conclude don't you think". Julius said a little fidgety, his son and successor was in there. "I never knew, you cared for Damon this much I would have had him live with you, well I confirmed his birthmark, kent has a star birthmark on his neck". "That means we need a second hitman and kent's whereabouts, if at all the person that comes to play isn't Kent and Damon pulls out his gun we need someone to shoot the actual Kent". "Within my capability. Being a palace master I hardly handle guns and stuffs now, such a waste of my talent and skill, can I take two shot". "I'm also curious as to why you asked for the position, but your position your decision, as long it's in the forehead same hole you could even take three". "Let's go find Kent". "You go, I'll be monitoring the situation of things here". Immediately Brandon goes away, Julius begins to analyze everything from start, two men had spoken together at the table but Kent had somehow taken over the discussion, the people at the table didn't know the man was Kent neither did they know he was the one at the boss's table, Kent really isn't the one that plays, what then does he do? "Guardian, what's going on". The Valley Master asked apparently unaware of everything going on under tables in his presence. "It's fine go get us some drinks and pick two for Damon and Brandon when they get back, my son drinks cola so get same thing for us three and yours". "Okay master Guardian". "What way would be easier to find Kent and my cover wouldn't be blown". Brandon thought to himself and decided to heighten his hearing senses so he could hear things miles away and just filter out kent's voice". Several noise soon fills Brandon's head, the bar man asking for orders, various bets being made at the table, whispers on cards, and finally the voice he is looking for. THE VEIL ON THE DARK
