Killer Hotel

Ryan woke up and rolled over and felt for his phone. He tapped it but it was just outside of his reach so he reached harder and fell off his bed. "Dammit. That hurt." Ryan grabbed the phone of his desk that was covered in bills. He felt the phone vibrate.

*ding* 'Morning lazy boi. Now that your up just know now you only have to complete one daily mission per day from now on and also read the notifications then go downstairs. The stairs are in the main lobby.'

Ryan took 5 minutes and was crying realizing that the reason he killed the man is because the phone took over him by giving him this trait. He stopped after 10 minutes when the phone told him to stop being a sissy about the murder and to go clean himself up and go downstairs to help save his hotel.

Ryan went downstairs still upset until he saw the looks of the hall there were a line of slots on the left wall all the way down to the end. The space was a two hundred feet wide and long with on the right side of the wall was a place for card games to be played. Right down the middle was a glorious pool table the green material was soft the wood was grey with black swirls. The unique thing about this table was that it is twice as big with 4 walls in the table to block balls to make them bounce around more and allow trick shots.

Ryan saw that there was a sign on the wall right next to the stairwell 'Expansion possible. Current number of slots: 70. Current number of pool tables: 10. Current number of unique games: 1. Current number of homemade games: 0.'

This was carved into a gold plate. Ryan pushed his thoughts to the phone. 'How do I expand?'

'Do quests or earn enough money from customers.'

'Why is there not a bar?'

'Because this is the 18+ hall the next expansion will be the 21+ expansion.'

Ryan just knew he needs more workers but he couldn't pay for their wages. *sigh* Ryan dropped his head looking at his shoes in disappointment. Ryan walked out to the front of his hotel and put a sign into the ground it was 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide it was of poor quality but it still attracted customers. The sign read 'Ramshackle gambling hall open from noon to 4am.'

Ryan realized he only has 9-10 days before shutdown. Ryan around the park handing out flyers to people for his gambling hall. Some people looked very interested in the flyers. Ryan asked them to please go wait in the lobby till the hall opens.

Ryan went back to the hotel to see about 30 people there at the hall. "Ya got drinks or nah."

"No sir this is the 18+ hall there is no alcohol sale here but there will be on the next level but we don't have the funds to get alcohol or even expand right now. Also currently we wouldn't have enough workers currently you have my apologies."

"That's fine, let's just gamble guys!"

The man raised the morale of everybody in the hall and everybody went to the slots except 3 men who wanted to play some cards. The only game we play for now is blackjack. The men all have a bank amount of 1,000 for now. Ryan needs to win this it could get him only 300 USD away from paying off his bills and debts. He filled the slots with coins but also wooden ch.i.p.s that have a carving of the square on ryan's hand on it. These ch.i.p.s give people a free night at the hotel.

The men were making bets of 50 each time. Ryan had jason watch behind the men to watch for cheating in the hall but mainly on the card game.After 10 minutes ryan got a signal from jason that there was a cheater on the left of the table. Ryan yells out to everybody "Hey everybody come here please I forgot to tell you a rule that is special to this gambling hall." Everybody gathered around to the table.

"Thank you for coming today! Ummm I forgot to tell you a special rule of my hall. If you are caught cheating. I take the whole pot and everybody's winnings amount that they won and all money spent here will be taken including ch.i.p.s and money spent on ch.i.p.s and money earned in ch.i.p.s. I will also ban everybody at the machine or table from the hall for the day. Please don't cheat because it won't be fun and if you stop a cheater then I will reward you will 10% of what I take from them. One last thing if you are caught stealing from others you will be banned not only from the hall but also from the entire hotel."

Ryan grabbed the cheaters arm pulled it forwards and twisted his arm and pulled a ace of clubs from his sleeve. "Thank you for the money sir please leave the hall with no ch.i.p.s you may only leave with your personal belongings." Ryan snatched the young man's ch.i.p.s and tucked them away behind his booth and continued playing blackjack with the other two men since they didn't know about the rule yet.

The young man lunged at ryan over the table and ryan simply fell backwards with the man on top of him. Ryan didn't know what to do until the other patrons pulled the man off ryan and one of the men tased ryan's opponent. "Thank you gentlemen all 29 of you my have a free nights rest at the hotel no charge at all." The man who tased the other man shook ryan's hand and placed another taser into ryan's hand.

"Kid protect yourself not many are nice here. All of us are mercenaries from the Sea dragon corps. We specialize in underwater combat and hand to hand fighting. Please don't ban this asshole he is one of the commander's kids. We are all veterans but either way we will respect your opinion."

"It's fine i guess please just control him a little bit cause that hurt like hell."

"Here is 10 grand we know you must have financial issues we were here only because we found out that this hotel won't exist soon so it won't remember us since technically we are illegal."

"Thank you umm what's your name?"

"Just call me Captain Reps"

"Thanks Captain Reps."

"Hey Captain Reps Sir I was wondering if I could ask something."

"Shoot."

"Please call this number" Ryan hands Captain Reps a slip of paper with 10 digits on it.

"Who is this?" Reps gives ryan a smile.

"It's a friend of mine he has always wanted to talk to a mercenary. He has always been something of a curious person wanting a slice of that kind of life. I've had him talk to other group and security teams of different companies but they looked down on him. He is brilliant in strategy in any game or real situation but he can't participate since he is blind so every time he wants to know about a battlefield I sculpt him a wooden carve out to every tree and bush I can think of. It's probably the reason i'm so low on funds is because I venture around finding fields for sculpting and the amount of time I have neglected the hotel for his sake."

Throughout all of ryan's rambling reps kept nodding and once ryan was done he put a hand on ryan's shoulder.

"Kid I am great at strategy if this kid can beat me in a game of strategy than I'll personally bring him into the sea dragon corps. What's wrong with his eyes by the way?"

"The doctors he has seen keep saying that it is a medical mystery he was born like that and the only way to fix it is a 200,000 dollar laser surgery."

"Consider it done Mr. hotel owner."

"Oh my name is Ryan Tethers sir."

"Ok Ryan. Come let's keep gambling!"

Ryan realized that the entire 29 people here aren't to gamble but to enjoy a risk that isn't their lives and are just happy to be here their all so straight forwards to and very honest men. This is how ryan found a group of friends in everyone of the sea dragons.
