The transaction is almost complete.
By the time he catches on,
I'll be long gone. Poor Pete.

A keen eye for another
mans' lighter, don't we all?
I'm a thief among thieves.
This is no small time operation.

The deed is done.
Enter six kids with
sick intentions as I
celebrate in a hazy room.

Keep conversation cordial
but don't let down your guard.
This is the hardest part.

I thought victory was
in the pocket of my jeans,
but as they stumbled through
the door, I fumbled for my score.

I wasn't able to hold on.
I don't know what went wrong,
must have left it on the table.
Can't resist a game so playable.
