Unlike the street, it wasn't as noisy inside, although light music was still playing here. In addition, seeing Gordon's young and sweet face, a girl in a bright red dress "Welcome to [Lexfor Lux]" approached him. Our casino has 142 gaming rooms with a variety of entertainment that you will definitely enjoy."
"We also provide all guests with free alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. If you have nowhere to stay overnight, our deluxe hotel will provide you with the best room in the entire sector"
After listening to the girl, Gordon nodded, "The game is for credits, or should I exchange them for chips?"
The girl smiled, "You should exchange them for credits. The exchange office is located a little further. There you can exchange any amount, the exchange ratio is 1 to 1"
Thanking the girl, Gordon no longer wasted time asking questions and after exchanging chips for the amount of 50,000 credits, he went to the poker room with stakes up to 500 credits.
He still has a whole evening ahead of him, so he doesn't want to lose all the money at once. Finding a table with an empty seat, he began to play. As at the entrance, the dealer is a beautiful young girl in an elegant dress.
Deftly distributing cards, she constantly smiles at the guests, maintaining a good mood.
An amazing paradox. Gordon almost never participated in noisy parties and holidays, they often played poker alone with friends. Gordon believes that every self-respecting IT specialist should be able to play poker well.
So, sitting comfortably in a chair, he began to play. Fortunately for him, he came across not quite simple opponents, but in the end he still remained in the black. Having earned 5,000 credits, he decided to move to tables with a bet of 5,000.
Surprisingly, the game here was even easier than at the last table. So he called the waiter "Give me [Nova Cristalis]"
Time passed and Gordon had fun, losing or winning money, enjoying his cocktail along the way.
As a result, now Gordon has 150 thousand chips, a cocktail in his right hand and a beautiful girl in his left.
Finally tired of the games, Gordon lightly bit the girl on the ear, and then whispered, "Can we move upstairs?"
The girl smiled slyly and then kissed him on the lips. After enjoying the kiss, Gordon said goodbye to other players, exchanged 100,000 chips for credits, and spent the remaining 50,000 on a presidential suite for 2 days.
Climbing the elevator, Gordon and the Girl burned with impatience, but finally after a couple of minutes they were inside their room.
...
Gordon is sleeping sweetly in an embrace with a naked girl, he has wonderful dreams, when suddenly he was awakened by the sound of an opening door.
Many of his friends often complained about his light sleep, and during his short life at the academy, his sensitivity became several times sharper. Therefore, even such quiet movements woke him up.
Concentrating on what was happening, after a stormy night, Gordon gradually came to his senses. Realizing that someone had broken into his room, Gordon quietly got off the bed and reached for his holster.
With a slight movement of his hand, he disintegrated the seal, after which he took out his pistol and hid behind the door in anticipation of the guests.
Gordon listened to quiet footsteps, and judging by the sound, there were only two of them. Finally, the door of the room began to slowly open with a slight click.
First, the first person entered, carefully watching the bed, and then the second. But suddenly the first man realized that there was no one in the bed except the woman. Frowning, he turned to his partner. But then he saw a shadow holding a gun and aiming at them.
Eyes wide in fright, he slowly raised his hands up. The second man saw the movements of his partner and also turned around, and then also raised his hands in fear.
Gordon pointed with his hand, led them to another room, and then began to ask questions "Who are you and what do you need?"
The men looked at each other, and then the first one said, "You better not know who we are, for your own good. Give us the map and we will disperse in peace"
Gordon chuckled, "It looks like you didn't understand that I'm not holding a toy in my hands, but a real weapon"
The second man spoke, "Calm down, calm down. We do not wish you harm, we just want to take what is ours."
Gordon silently looked at the two men, frowning, "What card are we talking about?"
The second one answered "Rectangular metal plate"
"What makes you think that I have such a thing?" asked Gordon
The second responded again, "Our man planted this thing for you. It was a few days ago, when you were confronted by a man who was being chased."
Gordon confirmed his guesses and then said "Now this thing is not with me, I left it in another place"
The first man sighed "Then this is bad….for you!" Suddenly, the man jerked his leg to the side. A heavy boot flew straight into Gordon's face.
And two men after this throw ran towards Gordon to take away the weapon.
Such a move would probably work with some inexperienced mercenary, but Gordon has combat reflexes.
Therefore, as soon as the boot began to approach his face, he dodged, along the way pulling the trigger of the gun.
A bright flash lit up the dark room, burning a hole through the first attacker's chest. The second man was surprised, he didn't expect Gordon to outflank them twice already, so getting angry, he put all his strength into his movements in order to catch Gordon in time.
Too bad it's slower than plasma. And another cold corpse appeared in the room. Gordon sighed, thinking about what he should do with these bodies now.
But he did not have to think for long, when suddenly there was an explosion in the front door, and then several small balls flew into the room in which Gordon was standing.
Frightened, Gordon immediately rushed for cover, after which the metal balls exploded with bright white light and noise.
These grenades didn't blind Gordon, but the annoying ringing in his ears unnerved him. With a headache and a ringing in his ears, he peered out from behind the wall.
He saw how 5 people in combat armor and rifles in their hands ran through the blown-up door.
Reaching out from behind cover, he fired several shots to stop the onslaught of the attackers "Get in cover! He has a weapon, be on the alert"
Realizing that he was able to delay them a little, Gordon staggered and ran into the bedroom. Once inside, he saw a frightened girl who wrapped herself in yeast and wrapped herself in a blanket.
Seeing Gordon, she snuggled closer to the bed, trying to hide her presence to the maximum.
Gordon didn't pay any attention to her, instead, he quickly grabbed his things. As he hurriedly dressed, he heard someone hurriedly approach the door, apparently about to kick it down.
Wasting no time, Gordon took aim at the door and fired several shots at the door. Beams of blue plasma burned through the door, as well as the fighter standing behind the door.
"Fuck! Man, you are surrounded, surrender and you will still have a chance to survive."
Hearing where the voice was coming from, Gordon switched his gun to armor-piercing mode. Then he again raised the pistol and aimed at the place where he thought the enemy was.
Gordon's silver gun lit up with a white light, and then with a nasty whistle, a white beam of energy flew out of the muzzle of the gun, turning the thin wall of the room and half of the person's body into red high-temperature steam.
Seeing the horrific death of his comrade, one of the attackers growled "What the hell? What kind of weapon is this!"
Since Gordon has used up all of his weapon charge, he will have to wait a while before firing again. So he turned over the metal table and hid behind it, waiting.
Time passed slowly, neither Gordon nor the attackers moved. After 20 seconds, one of Gordon's opponents spoke up, "You don't know who you're messing with! Better surrender, our superiors can still forgive you for your actions."
Deciding to stall for time, Gordon asked, "Who are your superiors and why send a whole combat detachment after me?"
Hearing that Gordon was going to dialogue, one of the attackers said, "You don't need to know who we are. It is enough for you to know that you have something that belongs to us. We just want to take that thing away from you."
Checking the charge on his weapon, Gordon continued to play for time. "Is this thing worth making such a fuss about?"
Another man intervened in the dialogue "Stop stalling. Either you put down your weapons and walk out with your hands up, or don't blame us for being rude."
Gordon chuckled. "Okay okay, I'm getting out. Just don't shoot"
Gordon got up from behind cover, raised his hands holding the gun in his hand. Slowly walking towards the door, he continued to count in his head 36…37…38…39
When he was already directly in front of his enemy, with his vision he could see how one of the fighters slowly, as in slow motion, pulls the trigger of his rifle.
Luckily, Gordon's reflexes are faster, so before the shooter fired, Gordon jumped to the side and fired several shots.
More blue beams lit up the room and killed another attacker.
"FUCK!"
The remaining attackers, ceased to endure, they also began to shoot back. But luckily for Gordon, they didn't seem to have lethal weapons.
But this still did not make Gordon any less relaxed, so dodging the shots flying at him, he shoots back.
But these shots at random did not hit the attackers, so the situation again came to a standstill.
Suddenly, Gordon and the Assailants heard police sirens, "Damn, we need to leave!" One of the attackers shouted, after which the remaining two fighters turned around and ran to the exit.
Finally, Gordon's nerves relaxed a little, headache, lack of sleep and tension led to an influx of severe fatigue, so still not getting up from the floor, Gordon closed his eyes and waited for the police to arrive.
The frightened girl, wrapped in a blanket, had long ago climbed out of bed and huddled in a corner, shaking in fear.
She had never been in a gunfight and had never seen human corpses, not to mention the smell of burnt human flesh.
Therefore, unable to withstand all this, her stomach squeezed out of her all the remnants of alcohol and food.
With his eyes closed, Gordon heard the sounds of the girl, so sighing, he decided to calm her down a bit "The police are already here and nothing threatens you"
The girl missed Gordon's words past her ears, looking with fear at the large hole in the wall and the burnt half of the human body.
