Introduces the characters Chris, his brothers Tom and Jerry, and OG. 
"It was 10pm Friday night. People everywhere coming in out of stores. Taxi’s honking here and there. The sound of a soft breeze with small chatters, the clicking of high heels filled up ears. It sure was busy around this time. Great environment to start the weekend in the good old Golden Nugget downtown in Las Vegas.  
“Roll it,” cling, cling, cling went the dice in hands of Tom."

Chris had decided to ask a loan from the owner of the casino which was OG. "Chris had been coming to the casino for a few months now. Drinking and playing. Winning and losing. Until he ran out of all the money he had. Going with OG was very dangerous and he knew it."]]> 2017-11-29 02:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211233407 Climax cortebri0001 https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211234006 OG has run out of patience, he want Chris to pay him the money he owns. Since he hasn't come to him with any update OG decides to send look for him. “ You know why you're here right, it be a pleasure to tell you but i think you know don’t you,”
“Yes I Know and I will pay you … I,” OG quickly interrupted. He knew where this was going and didn’t want to keep listening.
“Good, good, good the thing is your time has run out such as my patience,”

“Okay are you ready,” Jerry would be waiting in Bridger avenue. 
“ Don’t worry Chris okay we are here and we got this just follow my lead,” Tom said. He had put on Jerry’s cloths. A very different taste of look for Tom.

“ Clap, clap, clap,” OG walked out from the alley. 
“ Chris did you think I would let you go that easy”. He leaned against the car of which Jerry had been.

“Bang, Bang” echoed. Bullets shot through the air within seconds. Gushing out blood leaving the head ripped in half. “Bang, bang,” there it was again.]]> 2017-11-29 02:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211237429 Speech cortebri0001 https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211238324 “I know, I just I wasn’t thinking about anything I was having fun, but i didn’t say anything because  you guys are the only family I have and I didn’t want to lose you”. This quote represents Chris. He knows he is very impulsive yet he will not let the decisions he make affect those of which he loves.]]> 2017-11-29 02:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211238324 Thoughts & Emotions- Chris cortebri0001 https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211238361 He hasn’t told his family any of this, he was afraid of just to see the disappointment in their faces. He started to memorize times before he was adopted. 
" Get up go, go I tell you if you I lose you know what’s gonna happen when you get home boy now get up”. 
They saved him from his dad, sadly not from the loss of his mom.
The thought of faailing his family made him emotional. It brought back memories of him when he wa a child. His mom's life depended on him. Sadness, and sham started to takeover.

 "His blue eyes filled with fear,  he shaked his leg faster and faster. Brushing through his blonde hair". 
Chris is a good person, Chris is smart and most of the time he's afraid of his OG.

OG is a mean person, he doesnt care about anyone besides money, he's selfish, and he's old also makes a lot of money.

]]> 2017-11-29 04:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211249288 Effect on Others-Chris pinedseb0001 https://padlet.com/tonymejia0810/qjxztccyvrad/wish/211250383 Chris's actions that he did behind his brothers back affected them in a negative way but later they went along with his decisions to help him get out of the stituation he got himself into due to his adiction of gambling.
 “What the hell were you thinking Chris, tell me why, what the heck is wrong with you Chris!” Jerry was furious. He couldn’t believe Chris at all.
Towards OG was totally on the negative side since Chris was using money from OG to continue gambling and owing him a lot. 
“ You know why you're here right, it be a pleasure to tell you but i think you know,” pauses for a bit, “ Don’t you?”
“Yes I know and I will pay you … I,” OG quickly interrupted. He knew where this was going and didn’t want to keep listening.

“ You have around two hours and I want it by then understood,”

OG is head of the game. As the boss he does not trust people that easy. When you make a deal with a man like him it has a cost. OG is showing the reality of things to Chris.

“ Eeeh, Chris right, is an uncommon name in my country,” OG asked. Chris understood him even with that russian accent of his.The big chump sat in his chair. He was the owner of the casino. White strands that covered his head. Eyes that hanged low with bags under them. Along with his face. Tobacco aroma flowed in the office. 
“ You know why you're here right, it be a pleasure to tell you but i think you know,” pauses for a bit, “ Don’t you?”
OG was just trying to prove to Chris that he will deal with the situation one way or the other if someone does pay him back since he owns the casino.
“ No Chris, no, here in this casino I give the orders and I want your brothers to work for me until you pay me my million dollars”.
“ No,” Chris said.
“ Very well then, my men will take it from here”
