~~~~~~~~~~~~♔Chapter 5​​♔~~~~~~~~~~~~

♤Sash's: POV♤

Chip and I finally exit his office and to the room where everyone is waiting, we are met with the sight of an angry looking Rainbow, a concerned Jaza, a terrified Miracle and an equally angry Chubby also... A very broken chair.

I look up at Chip who seems to be also assessing the situation, he looks down at me and then looks at Miracle, I finally pick up on what he's trying to tell me as I go to retrieve Miracle from Rainbow whilst Chip goes to lean on the wall next to his office door.

I walk over to Rainbow and hold out my hand signalling that I wanted Miracle to come with me. Rainbow lets out a slightly annoyed sigh and roughly pushes her to me. I look over to Chubby who currently seems to be desperately glancing between Chip, Miracle and me.

As I lead her back to Chip's office, Chubby suddenly shouts out.

"If she's going to die, can I have the kill?"

Chip says nothing, his eyes on the ground a shadow looming over his face, I keep walking Miracle in hand. Chip opens the door for me and as I lead Miracle into the room. He strolls in and closes the door behind him with a satisfying click signifying there was therefore no escape.

I can feel Miracle quivering in my hands, after Chubby's lovely comment and being locked in a room with the casino owner and no words being exchanged, I'd say this is an appropriate reaction.

"You realise what you have done was an incredibly poor decision on your end, yes?" Chip starts as he goes to sit down on top of his desk.

Miracle says nothing, only giving a small and shaky nod as her response.

Chip snaps his fingers and points over to a chair in the corner of the room, silently telling me to go get it for the trembling girl, so I go do that.

I take a quick glance to see what she's doing now that I have let her go, but she does nothing standing still, looking ready to topple over at any moment out of fear.

I hurry back with the chair and whisper to her to sit down in it, to which she does with intense speed.

"You should be dead right now." Chip continues, being dramatic as ever.

"Yet I'm going to offer you a deal. If you accept you can remain alive, if you don't, well...Chubby can have her wish."

"W-what's the d-deal?" Miracle asks in a trembling voice, surprising me that the girl managed to even say something let alone three whole words.

"The deal would be, you work for me at this casino." Miracle suddenly seems to become calmer, even confused.

"Th-that's it?" Her eyes examining him as if staring would reveal his true intentions.

Chip smiled at this, and not an innocent smile but a sinister one, one which was about to reveal the dark side of this deal.

"You see-" He begins.

"Everfall's Casino has become quite known throughout this region and even further, we've developed quite the reputation and riches. So obviously we have some other casino's who walk in here and try to strip us of our title, take our riches and fame away and leave us as a mere memory of what once was a great casino." He says as he gets off his desk and makes his way over to where Miracle is sitting.

"You know what we do to those people?" Chip says in a dark tone.

Miracle shakes her head furiously.

"We kill them." Venom practically poured out of his mouth, Miracle's eyes widened at this.

"Your job will be to help us get rid of those vermin."

Miracle opens her mouth ready to protest but Chips talks before a single word could escape her lips.

"Remember if you don't take this job you could end up like them." He says crouching down so he is at her eye level.

Miracle's mouth quickly shuts again, I could see the gears turning in her head, hesitation lingering in her eyes.

"What would be my role exactly?" She says looking down at the cold stone floor.

Chip shrugs at this.

"It depends what you are good at, perhaps you will be like Sash scouting and luring in our unsuspecting victims, maybe a technician like Jaza, they make us equipment for these missions, if your good with knives and blades in general you'll be an assassin like Rainbow or if you have good aim you'll be using firearms, guns, and sniping - like Chubby."

"Would I have to work with them specifically?"

"Maybe, it would depend on the mission and who is required to be there." Chip shrugs again.

"I don't think I'd want to be a sniper or do anything with guns if it means I have a chance to work with Chubby, I don't think she'd want to work with me either without putting a bullet through my head." Chips laughs slightly at this.

"I suppose that is true, tell you what for the first four weeks you'll alternate between all of them trying out the different roles." The room falls silent as we await her response. Will she choose to work such a sinister job or leave the casino with no money and no life?

"Okay." She says after what felt like an eternity of silence.

"I'll take the job." She says confidently, although fear is present in her eyes. Chip grins at this.

"Are you sure of this?" I whisper to her, she looks up at me, looking as if I were magically going to find a solution, a secret third option to get her out of this nightmare. Sadly that is out of my capabilities

She turns away from me and looks Chip straight into the eyes.

He reaches out his hand.

She takes it.

They shake hands neither one of them breaking eye contact as if a magical contract was being signed just by staring intensely at one another. Chip finally speaks up, his grin growing larger.

"Welcome to the team... Dandelion"
