grinning Sure, boss! Just don't ask me to deal the cards, huh?
Gabriel: Don't worry, sweetheart, I've got it all under control. shuffles the deck of cards with a sly grin
raising an eyebrow You sure do, boss. But remember, if you're caught... pauses, whispering We're in this together, right?
Gabriel: leans in close, his voice low and dangerous You know damn well, sis, we're in this till the end.
smirking That's what I like to hear. Let's see if those cards bring us luck tonight.
Gabriel: Alright, sweetheart, place your bets! slaps the table hard, the sound echoing through the underground casino
She deal's her 2 card's face down
Gabriel: leans in closer, his eyes gleaming with excitement Alright, sis, let's see what we got here. peeks at SunshineJourney's cards
Gabriel: grinning maliciously Oh, looks like someone's getting burned tonight. snaps his fingers Deal the next round, sweetheart. Let's see if you can keep up!
Gabriel: smirks and takes a deep drag from his cigarette Well, well, well, looks like someone's on a hot streak tonight.
smiling Looks like we're raking it in, boss! What's next?
Gabriel: winks at SunshineJourney Well, sweetheart, how 'bout we take a little detour from our winning streak?
raising an eyebrow A detour? What kind of detour, boss?
Gabriel: leans in closer, his voice low and conspiratorial How 'bout we pay a little visit to my good pal, Tony?
squinting Tony? The one who's always hovering around you at the casino? What's he got to do with us winning?
As Gabriel and SunshineJourney make their way to meet Tony, they are ambushed by a group of rival gang members seeking revenge. A violent shootout ensues, leaving Gabriel fatally wounded. In his final moments, he utters his last words to SunshineJourney: "Stay strong, sis...and keep the cards close."
her eyes filled with tears
Gabriel: gasping for breath, clutching his chest Stay...strong, sis... coughs blood Keep...the cards...close... loses consciousness
holding the deck of cards tightly I will, Gabriel. I promise.
voice echoing in SunshineJourney's mind Remember, sis, the cards hold the key to our fate. Trust in them, trust in us.
voice echoing in SunshineJourney's mind You made it, sis. You kept the faith. Use the money wisely, and always remember, the game is just a game.
She walks away from the casino
voice echoing in SunshineJourney's mind Stay vigilant, sis. The world is full of deceit and betrayal. Always keep your guard up, just like I did.
She sits down in her apartment
voice echoing in SunshineJourney's mind And don't forget, sis, sometimes you have to play dirty to survive. Never hesitate to do what it takes to protect yourself and those you care about.
