My Book and the Gold- Part Two

The first question that came out of my mouth was, "HOW IN HELL can you come up with a strategy against online slots?" I mean, I am an expert too, but hey, online slots are not chess, not poker, and surely not basketball.

Mr BookRobber answered with a smirk, "you will be surprised if we told you, but we won't and we can't. No offense, but you are not part of the circle".

He said "circle" as though they were the most important advisers of the AMERCAN PRESIDENT when it comes to nuclear disarmament.

I said, "Just give me my book and I'll be on my way".
He produced it in the same way a magician pulls out a rabbit from the black hat, "Thank you for this, and thanks for coming over, I'll buy you a beer sometime."

I thought, 'Yeah sure, hell would freeze over first'. In all the years I've known him, it's always the other person attending to the bill. So, without even being offered refreshments after so long a journey, book in hand, I exited his ugly house, and went to my beautiful car, drove away.
