THE DEAL (part 3 of book)
Chapter 12 Enter the butler
The five players now staring at each other wildly realising the seriousness of the situation. Each of them wishing they had taken the million and walked away.

The other four players looked in shock and horror as the butler said nothing but “ rules is rules each of you got one shot you were all warned” casually wiping away some blood of his lapel and glasses as he retrieved the gun from Tony’s dead hand and then re chambered his own and put it back in his own pocket.
Chapter 13 The reaction
Paul shot up out of his chair and shouted “for Christ sake have you no morals and what sort of a dark twisted game is this” as he glared at the butler with a face full of fury. Ellie just staring into a void sick to the pit of her stomach as the sight before her thinking that could have been me. Right now the thought of being with her husband the man she loathed didn’t seem so bad after all. David sat silent his head hung low he’d never seen a dead body before and this...
