The Marvelous Elijah’s Return
Chapter 108
Over my dead body
In the left corner of the casino, at the red leather couches, Elmer Hayes sat with his table covered with expensive wines and snacks.
A couple of young girls sat on his right and left side as he and his old friends sat around a mahogany table in front of him, drinking and Elmer took the deck of cards in his hand.
“Okay… this time, I am going all in!” He laughed loudly, slapping the cards together on top of each other before pushing them into the center of the table, “I bet five million dollars on this
one…”
Immediately an awkward silence circled among his friends and he instantly noticed their disturbed and hesitant gazes toward him.
“Don‘t be such a mood killer and place your bets!” Elmer smiled, trying to diffuse the tension around him.
“I don‘t have that kind of money to bet on cards….” His friend Lucas said looking at the cards and Elmer could tell he was lying by the expression on his face.
“Come on man we‘re all good here… just make your damn bet and play, no need to be shy” Elmer smiled widely, nudging Lucas‘s arm.
“No. I don‘t feel like this is a game, but a cocky move to rob us of our money…” “What?!”
Even though he knew Lucas hit the nail right on the head, and he was right about him cunning them to get money, he screwed his face in annoyance as soon as he
heard it.

Do you think a Hayes like myself will allow a punk shit all over me and continue to have air in his lungs for more than a week?!” “Is that so?” Mr. Bamford‘s voice startled the group, he came up behind Elmer‘s seat, smiling at Lucas who immediately shut his mouth when he felt the chief constable‘s intimidating presence, and

Seeing the look of doom on Elmer‘s face, Mr. Bamford shook his head before walking off with his men, and just like that, the five young girls and Elmer‘s buddies stood from the couch,
