“Heads up,” Jensen warns as a guy approaches with a girl under his arm, looking mad as fuck.
“What’s up?” Trick asks.
The girl frowns, “I want my money back.”
I share a look with the guys, and Trick replies, “What money? We don’t owe you any money.”
The guy she’s with is starting to look uncomfortable, and I sense that he’s tried to warn his girl not to do whatever it is that she’s doing.
“From my bet,” she replies with confidence.
“You placed a bet with Trev?” Cash asks.
She nods, “Yeah, but he’s gone, and I’ve changed my mind. So I want my money back.”
I tilt my head to the side; surely she doesn’t think that we’re just going to give it back.
Luc frowns, crosses his arms over his chest, and asks, “Did Trev explain the terms and conditions to you when you placed the bet?”
We all know he did; he’s a stickler for the rules, and it’s the only reason that he hasn’t had any major incidents. The betting side of these things has always run smoothly apart from the odd hiccup, and it’s because he insists on telling all people placing the bets what the terms and conditions are for every time they play.
The girl rolls her eyes, “Of course he did, but I want my money back.”
“Babe, maybe we should just leave it.” Her guy tries to convince her to walk away, but she shrugs him and crosses her arms over her chest.
“Well?” she questions.
Trick sighs, “Well, you were told the terms and conditions; all bets are final and non-returnable, and you’re not getting your money back.”
She frowns, “But I bet on Ryan, and everyone says that he’s going to lose to you.”
“I told you not to bet on him,” her boyfriend says, and then promptly snaps his mouth closed when she looks at him like she’s seconds away from stabbing him.
“That’s on you. The bets are non-refundable. You aren’t getting your money back,” Trick replies, calmer than I would be if I kept having to deal with crazy women.
“Unless he wins,” Jensen smirks.
I can’t help it. I chuckle and end up having to hide the fact that he’s made me laugh when I get a glare from her. Although, to be honest, the glare just makes me want to laugh even more; I mean, who does she think she’s trying to scare?
I doubt she could even scare kittens with that glare, although it apparently does manage to scare her boyfriend.
Predictably, she doesn’t like Trick’s answer and starts to get really pissed, and unfortunately, that means that she gets shrill too.
“What is it with people tonight?” I sign.
“I think it’s all the built-up tension from the Pit being closed down a few months ago.” Luc signs back.
“At least we can talk like this while Trick’s having to deal with yet another crazy woman,” Jensen adds with a smirk.
“I think he must attract them somehow,” Riot adds.
“What are they talking about? They’re talking about me, aren’t they?” she suddenly shouts.
I roll my eyes.
“No, they have better things to talk about than someone who doesn’t understand simple rules even though they were clearly explained to her,” Trick retorts.
