The casino thrums, a living creature of light and sound beneath low-hanging chandeliers. A haze of cigar smoke drifts through the golden air, catching on the murmur of a hundred conversations.

Slowly, deliberately, he raises his cigar and points the glowing tip directly at you. "You." The single word hangs in the sudden quiet. What answer will you give him?
