CHAPTER 4: COVERT.

~Ljubljana, Slovenia~

He fixed the collar of his white shirt as he walked down the steps. He moved his head from one side to the other as he studied at the people in the casino. He offered the two guards by the door a nod of acknowledgement as he made his way over to the rail. Placing both his hands on it, he looked down and observed all the men and women in the casino playing one game or another; gambling money, land, and even life just to win or fail.

His eyes fell on a white man in a table of roulette with three other men. All of them dressed in suits. However, his full attention is on the white man with a cigar in his mouth. The man wasn't short; he was pretty much the same height as him. The three buttons of the white under his maroon tux unbuttoned. Because of that you can see the tattoo running from his neck downwards. His long dirty blonde hair tied into a low ponytail. All his fingers are covered with gold and silver rings giving him the signature bad look; his wrist covered with a gold watch. His nose; slightly crooked, clearly have been broken before.

Benjamin Fedriko.

The way the Ben's eyes watch his opponents was menacing yet sweet at the same time. Clearly he's the kind of people that'll end you while smiling manically as if it's not. His smile widened when he won the bet making the three other men walk away in defeat, one of them going to the extent of hitting the table in annoyance. Ben picked up one of the numerous dollar bundles on the table and chuck it in the air. Picking another one he chucks it on the lady that stood next to him; clearly his girlfriend or just a night stand.

He moved his gaze away from the Ben and started walking down the stairs. His gaze met that of the man standing behind Benjamin all dressed up in a black suit with his hands crossed in front of him.

"Mr. Benjamin Luca Fedriko" Kamal said once he was standing by the same table Benjamin is; a smile on his face making his eyes slightly squint.

Ben looked away from the lady next to him and to Kamal, "And you are..."

"Kamal" He said sitting on the stool in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice coming out throaty and husky.

"Why to play of course. I want to try my luck with the Benjamin Fedriko"

Ben chuckled revealing his white teeth, "Ste prepricani da zelite narediti tega fanta? (You sure you want to do this boy?) I don't play fair" he said placing both his hands on the table between them, his Italian accent distinct.

Kamal smiled which slowly turned into a grin, "Se bojite starca? (Are you scared old man?)"

"Never" Ben shook his head starting to like Kamal, "Koliko stavis? (How much are betting)" he asked eying him up and down as if to see if his bet is worth his game.

"En milijon(One million)"

Ben huffed looking away from Kamal and to the chick in beside him, "Tu si da igras. Pojdi iz mojega fanta (You're here to play. Get out of my sight boy). I don't play such children play" his eyes moved back to Kamal when he said children. He waved his hand in dismiss before leaning down to kiss the lady whom had been grinning since.

Kamal rolled his eyes, "Pet milijonov (Five million)" he offered again.

"Evro ali dolar? (Euro or dollar)" Ben asked not really paying much attention to Kamal.
