In the dimly lit, smoke filled room a three men were gathered around a table, cards and chips spread out in front of them, at the bar nearby a few people stood or sat, the bar was quite empty this evening and more silent than usual. Seth sat by the poker table, his brown bangs shading his expressionless grey eyes as he examined his cards, he'd been lucky so far tonight, a welcome change from a week of bad luck.
Most of the regulars had already left and only Kevin and Bobby was still up for another round of poker. Seth needed some cash as rent was due this Sunday and he wasn't sure robbing the same store twice in the same week was such a good idea. Taking a chance he pushed his remaining ships forward. "All in."
"Feeling lucky today Seth," Kevin said raising an eyebrow and also cast a glance at his own cards."Do you think your little Irish luck is back already?" Bobby said with a laugh, always eager to couple Seth's Irish heritage with his luck, if only the younger man had been shorter Bobby undoubtedly would have nicknamed him "the leprechaun".
"It never left," Seth retorted and drank some of his beer. "I just wanted to give you guys a chance to win something." He said, a smirk twisting his lips.
Some time later Seth walked out of the bar a few thousand dollars richer, taking out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one, inhaling deeply, the first taste was always the best one in his opinion. Taking out his cell with his left hand Seth answered some texts that he had received during the poker game, not really paying attention to his surroundings, it was late anyway and few people were out and about.
Stuffing the phone back in his pocket, raising the cigarette to his lips again he cast a bored glance around him at the city clad in darkness, or it would be dark but the city was lit up by enough lights to keep the shadows at bay. Taking one last breath of his cigarette Seth flicked it away before taking a left turn, his apartment complex a few blocks away coming into view.
