Drabble Challenge: Busted Flush (Giles, FRC)

I'm following on from 'Giles started counting', because I had this idea for it that I just couldn't shake.


Title: Busted Flush
Author: il-mio-capitano
Length: 100
Characters: Giles
Rating: FRC


Giles started counting his winnings when the young croupier touched his elbow.

"Could you step this way, please?"

He was led through dingy corridors until he found himself outside among the garbage bins, facing a slick haired casino manager, and a number of burly gentlemen, all apparently having been squeezed into their suits after a hard day's cage fighting.

"I don't know what you did, but you will never come back here again. Understand?"

Giles nodded vigorously, and to his relief, they turned, leaving both his winnings and his face intact.

The Sunnydale survivors needed better ways of making money.

Yeah, I can see Giles in a a) in a tux at a casino and b) in an underground poker ring; beating the odds. Being the poker master of the group, teaching the kids. Thanks for the thoughts.
