The last day.
Thessa hugs the cases tightly.
Thessa stares at the clock on the wall.
The dealer comes down and looks at them.
" Just to remind you all." said Faline.
Shane wakes up to find Thessa holding both cases.
Shane stares at Anna," Why did you.."
Anna glances at Shane.
"The time limit is 2 PM. We will check from the video surveillance to determine the amount of money you each have." said Faline, " then we'll end the stage at 2.30 PM."
" That's good." said Thessa loudly from the other side.
Anna glances at Thessa smirking.
" You little idiot." said Thessa.
The word echoes through the room along with the dealer's footsteps.
Anna stares at Thessa.

The clock ticks.
" Mr. Shane, is it okay to leave it like this ?" asked Anna watching the short hand on the clock getting nearer to number two.
Shane remains silent.
Anna turns to look at Thessa.

2.25 PM
" The dealer is coming down in five minutes." laughed Thessa.
Thessa walks towards Anna and opens the cases.
Anna widens her eyes as she watches the pile of money poured out.
" You lost." said Thessa arrogantly.
Shane picks up the pile of money.
" Oh ? You're helping me to put my money back in my cases ? Hahahaha ! Perfect, just like any low life." mocked Thessa.
2.29 PM
Shane keeps on picking up the money.
" Hey, how long are you going to count the money ?" said Thessa.
" It's to prevent any loss, who knows there might be a mistake made by the agency, they might gave you the incorrect amount of money."
" You sure are precise when it comes to things like these."
2.45 PM
" Why aren't they here yet ??" complained Thessa loudly so the dealer upstairs can hear her.
Anna looks at Thessa, " Maybe she's in the toilet ?"
" No." said Shane sharply.
Anna and Thessa look at Shane.
Both surprised and confused to look at Shane smirking.
